" In the seven months of this presetit year there have been in the three states of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut no jless than 95 gradecrossing accidents. In these accidents 59 persons werd killed and 67 injuﬁ’ed. These statistics have been gathered by.the National Highways Protective asgociation of New York;and that association has been. made to begin a campaign against grade cressings. All this loss of human life was easily avoidable. It was only uegessary to carry ¢fie public highways over or under the railroads. . The havoe wrought by the accidents reported involved logs of property as well as loss of life. - Twenty-two horses were killed and 32 horge‘vehicles and 14 automobiles were destroyed. Ihe value of this property would have done much to ntake the crossings safe; and the losses moted -are but asmall fraction of the total, as the destruction is continuous, = , : e e Cham ' ~* For this havoe the railroads are not aloné respousible.» Part of the cost of bridging and tunneling would have fallen upon towns and counties, and they have been less willing, it is said, to do their part than the railroad companies have been to do theirs.

If they efcape the automobile they may be slain on the grade crossing.~—Baltimore Sun.’ : . ke e .

It begins to look as though the complete disclogsure of the manner in which the Tennessee Qual and Iron company was absorbed by the steel trust in 1907 will show that the absorption was not the beneficent deed the steel trust magnates and soie others profess that it was, The southern ' soncern was an anueyiug rival of the trust and its holdings of coal and ore " bearing territory was enormous.

The fact that tlie president withdrew from reservation certain landg at Controller bay w{hich Roosevelt had ordered resgrved’ and which Ryad and Guggenheim wanted and the further fact that as soon ‘as these lands were thrown open to entry they weré taken up by Ryan, looks very suspicious to put Itin the mildest language permisgable.

Therse are but two questious to be answered. One is whether the prerogatives of the senate are sufliciently safeguarded. The r')-t'h‘e_r-_ in whether we really desire to provide for the arbitrat_iuu.Qf'disputés.- Of course if we do Mot ,th‘e're' is no use in discussing the pending treaties. T y should be rejected not for any defects that may be found in them, b{t because they would commit the country to arbitration. : : e As to the question of the prerogatives of the senate, it iz to be said that some of the bast lawyers in that body seem to be entirely satisfied that they are not invaded by the treaties. The senate is ¢constitutionally a part of the treaty making power. It should notsurrender any powers conferred on it by the constitution. The men who made this government felt that it would not be safe 4o trust the management of foreign affairs wholly to the exeeu. ~tive ' . : ' , ' ; ~ yßut we can not see that these treaties liniit the senate. All that they do is to’commit the country to the policy ‘of arbitrating all disputes. If the genate agrees to that policy it ought not to agk that it be consulted hereafter on the main proposition. The senate’s rights are carefully guarded, for Article i provides that there shall be no arbitration except under the terms of a special agreement which must be approvéd by thé senate. By refusing to consent to it the senate can, if it sees flt, block arbitration. ‘. Assuming that the treaties are unobjectionable on thig score, ‘the only ' other question is whether or not we really desire arbitration. There will, of ‘Bourse, be opposition from those who oppose.any arbitration with England. ‘But. to these it is enough to say that 10 alliance. or anything approaching it, is proposed, and that this government stands ready to make precisely the same sort of arrangement with any other power that sees fit to enter into it, We can not afford to bave our foreign policy molded by those who are governed’ golely byvtheir_'antipathies or friendships to cér’t&in powers, The fact that Great Britain and France are parties tothem js wholly irrelevant. If thp arbitration policy is unwise. the treaties should be de- . feated for that reason. Of courss, those who oppose them wlll conjure up all sorfs of possibilities. | The sober sense of the American people is, we be- - lieve, back of theﬂ-Presiant in this effort'to lessen the possibility of war. Mr. Taft has done well to insist on the fullest pnblicity. We beleive that _ the effect will be to strengthen the treaties.—lndianapolis News, =~

, WASHINGTON GOSSIP. Cotton, Lloyd Resolution, Pure Food and _ Campaign Funds = Washington, July. Another step toward carrying out campaign pledges was taken by the majority of the houee of represeuntatives when it adopted a cotton schedule which greatly reduce the tax on all kinds of cotton goods.. - o

1f the republican senate and President Taft will permit the bill to become a law, the public will be assured of substantial reductions in prices. The bill is so framed as to be a particular boon to the poor, for the greatest reductions are made on cottons used by the middle classes and the poor. This féature of the c‘iemocratic billis in particularly striking contrast to the Payne-Aldrich law, which levies the lowest rates on the grades of cottonsused by the wealthy and the highest tax on the cottons used by the poor. , . “The Payne-Aldrich tax of 50.02 per cent on ready made clothing and articles of wearing apparel of every description composed of cotton or vegetable fibre is reduced to 80 per cent. .The Payne-Aldrich tax of 45 per cent on blankets and quilts, towelg, doilies' batting, mops, washrags, is reduced to 25 per cent. ')'r"pe Payne Aldrich tax on shirts, sweaters and all articles .of cotton underwear of every description is reduced to 30 per cent. Similiar reductions are made on every item in the entire cotton schedule. Eo

The cotton bill reported by the democratic ways and means committee is especially designed to ben-, efit the women and children of the country, there being- a reduction of more than 45 per centon nearly every item/in the cotton bill used by them. An important measure pending before (ongress is House resolution, No. 5470, introduced by Congrgssman James T. Lloyd of Missouri, The measure ig aimed particularly at the action of the Taft administration in prohibiting postal employees from organizing, and the still more remarkable Taft policy of denying civil service employees the right to petition congress; or eyen to give members of congress information until it has first been censored by their gaperiors. . .

The constitution- guarantees to every citizen of the United States the right to petition congress. The Lloyd resolution occupies the novel role, therefore; of having for its purpose the restorationof govern ment employees of rights they are erititied to under the constitution gut which rights have 'been taken AWAY lr/m them by the president in his desperate effort to prevent a further leakage of information injuric us to. the republican party such as o:cured in the Ballinger case. : | Dr. Harvey W. Wiley has been a militant government chemist far 28 years. Packers of embalmed beef are arrayed against him because of Liis fight agdinst the use of benzoate of soda.. Benzoate iucreases the profits of embalmed beef packers becauseit will ‘‘restore’’ and preserve meats that have becoms putrescent. The cost of manufacture of bologna and sausage may be materially reduced by using water and cereals. Waiér costs nothing and cereal is cheaper than meat. The result is a cheapening of the product and a lowering of the food value. But when water and cereal is used the meat beglius to sour. It is to prevent this souring process that the benzoate of soda may be nsed. Chemists declare benzoate is of no earthly use to the manufacturer who puts pure food upon the market,: . :

Dr. Wiley also fought the bleached | flour interets to the last ditch. He exposed the injurious colorings used in . candies sold to children. He. stubbornly opposed the- use of sulphur as a fruit preservative. He secured the removal of the tax on de-‘ natured alcohol. He expesed frauds without number in patent medicines. It was Wiley who started the war on the use of parcotics and other poisons in soda fountain drinks. And he stubbornly fought the whiskey trust until he was at last oyerruled by President Taft. : ; During the present auditing by the demeceratic house of -the republican administrations for the last decade, it wouldn’t bs out of place to look into the Rogsevelt-Harriman episode. The late railroad king raised $200,000 at Roosevelt’s request to save New York' for the Republicans in the Roosevelt Parker campaign, ; ~ The Republicans are literally up in the air, their old time gtand-bys, props and politics all shake in the democratic ' upheaval. Reciprocity ‘has helped® Taft of course, but the Republicans have always won on protection.: Taft has abandoned protection and the result is a matter of spezulation. : ‘ :

L A Forger Caught. - Some fellow who thought himself a past master of high finance undertook to work the [First National bank of Elkhart. Checks each $356 00 and amounting in all to nearly $5OO 00 were received "for culiection during the last two wesks. Without, exception - they came from business men of the loop distriet in Chicago and evidently someone was vietimized. The checks were drawn by W..E. Gray and q'ndi)rsed and made payable to H, C. (imy. The face. of each check wag stamped with the words *‘certified, First National Bank, Elkhart, Indi,” and the certificate was signed ** W. H. Knickerbocker, Cashier’’. No effort had been made to imitate the cashier’s hand writing. A Chicago jeweler took the painsg to look up Mr. Knickerbocker's signature at one of the banks and wrote to the cashier about the matter. : -

The Apple Show . . One of the most pepular movements started in this state in many years is-the Indiana Apple Show to be held at Indianapolis, Nov. 6 to 11, under the direction of a commissgion appointed by the\l_ndiana State Horticuitural society, The purpose is not only to show what Indiana is now dding in apple culture, but also to develope the fruit resources of the state, to the.end of restoring the state to her old place 48 a producer of apples and to give her front rank both in quality and quantity of fruit. Because of the widespread and. increasing interest in fruit growingy the comjpnission’s plans have been received with enthusiasm by growers. commission houses, consumers, eounty horticultural societies, commercial. organizations and others, who are not only endorsing the show but are predictihg that a revival of the old orchards and the plaunting of new ones will start a great volume of wealth into the orchard distriots and add millions of dollars to the state’s land values. It will also, it is predicted, bring into use thousands of acres of land now idle and unfit for geueral farming, and will keep with-in-the state three or fourmillion dollars now annually sent away by consumers for apples.. R The commission is now making up a premium list of several thousand dollars, the prizes to go only to Indiana growers, and Secretary Woodbury is seuding information to the growers explaining the purposes of the show and how to prepare and ship their applés to the exposition.

Whils the show does not open for several weeks, Mr. Woodbury says that now is the time for the grawers to begin preparations for it, and for a month or more the commission will ‘give attention to enlisting the interest of tne growers. A large number of the more prominent-growers have ‘already made known their intertion of sending elaborate displays. No entry fees will be charged exhibitors and thers will be no charge for cold storage. Standard boxes and trays will be suppliéd exhibitors at cost, and ‘these may be obtained at any time before the show of W. B. Flick of Lawrence, Ind.

. Will the Idea Spread? | _The trustees of Elkhart county have taken a step that is commendable but which nevertheless ‘will cause & skeptical grin in many quarvers. They have gravely announced that in the future children in the country schools when ab;en’b must file'with the teacher upo® their re turn, & written excuse from their parents. This excuse will be turnéd over to the trnant offlcer. Thus the teacher, trustee and truant officerwill co-operater = | ‘ The arrangement is calculated to impress the novice as a mighty fine ptan and no doubt ean be worked for much glory to the originators. - It succeeds admirably in lodging real responsibility nowhere. It is believed that forged excuses will be eliminated. A rather long experience with school children has convinced the writer that the excuse which is a pure forgery ‘is.more infreqnent than'most people think. In fact the moust remarkable thing in school administration is that such excuges are not more numerous. Many good people would be shocked if they were told that they deliberately gave their children the firet lessonsin forgery, but the fact remains that hundreds of excuses are written every year at the dictation of parents. This in itself would not be so bad if the children were not also instructed to sign the parent’s name. No one has a right to expeot that a child that has done such a thing frequently at the dictation of older people will refrain from availing himself of this easy step out of a difficulty when occasion may arise. The commonest reason offered for such action by parents is that they do not have time to write excuses. But the fact is that those fathers who are looked upon in the ordinary community as handling the largest enterprises are the ones whose children, after absence from school, usually return with & written excuse eXxplaining the absence. , " Carefully compiled and accurate data of the e%periment in Elkhart county will be interesting. - -

.- _ Exports of Farm Products, : l American farmers contributed over a billion dollars worth of merchandise, or more than one-half of the domestic products exported from the United States in the fiscal year just ended. Of the high record exportation of $2,013,549.0i5 worth of domestic merchandise in the fiscal year, 1,024 million dollars represented the value of products drawn directly or ‘indirectly from the farm. ; : ~ Of the ten_chief agricultural products exported, cotton leads with a tetal of 585 million dollars, the next largest item being, in the order named, meat and dairy products, 150 million; breadstufi, 124 million; unmanufactured tobacco, 39 million; fruits and nuts 26 million; oil cake 20 million;cattle and other live animals, 19 million; cotton seed oil, 17 million; vegetabler, 514 mi'lion; and hides and skins, 5 million- dollars, these ten articles alone showing a total exportation for the year of 990 million dollars. The remaining agricultural products exported in sums ranging from one million to dmillion dollars include Porto Rican coffee.b ‘million dollars; grease, 5 millions; ‘glacose, 35 ﬁlilliou; seeds; 22 million,; hops, over 2 million; ginseng ‘and other medical roots, 13; million; eges, 13 million; corn oil, 1} mil‘lion; hay, 1 million; and hair a little ‘over I.million dollars., -~ ;

This exportation ¢f< 1,024 million dollars worth of fine proaucté, while somewhat larger than in the preceding year, is still below the record made in 1907, when 1,050 million dollars worth of merchandise of that ciags left the country. Comparing the 1911 exports with those of 1907, cotton increased from 481 million dollars in 1907 to 585 million in the year just ended. 'This increase. however is solely due to higher prices prevailing in-1911.'since in that year but 4,034 million pounds were exported, compared with 4,518 million pounds in 1907. In fact cotton prices show a Bteady upward tendency. the average export price for the fiscal vear 1911, 1415 cents per pound, being the highestsince 1873. Hog products have decreased in value of exports from 124 million dollars in 1907 to 100 miilion in 1811; beef products, from 39 million to 11 million; and' butter and cheese from 4! million to 214 million. Cattle and other animals also share in the decreasing tenden¢y, their exports having fallen from 41 million dollarsin 1911.. Breadstuff shows a marked decline. from 263 million dollars in 1900 to 184 million in the year just ended: This loss occurs chiefly in wheat and wheat flour as & whole showed in 1911 a total of only 71 million dollars, compared with 95 million in 1910 and 122 million in 1907. - ) Tobacco fruits and nuts, and vegetables, however have moved counter to the general downward trend in the movemeut Lot farm products, each of these classes showings gains notover 1910 but -also over the high record year 1907. Expo ts. of tobacco increasec¢ faom 33 million dollars in 1907 to 39 million-in 1911;-those of fruits- and nuts, from 1724 million to 2415 million ; and those of vegatables, from 4 million to 54 million dollars.

A Blot on Civilization. 1 The recent revolution in Hayti agair. emphasizes the failure of democratic political institutions when entrusted to a mass of ignorant human beings- who are but little above the’ level of the brute. A fair degree of political intelligence fairly aud evenly " distributed through the mass of individuale composing the governmental unit is essential to the permanence of any representative gouvernment that pretends to have-a decent regard for the rights. of lifée, liberty, and property. , ' The so-called republic of Hayti along with the banana republics of Central and South America continue to be a blot on civilization' simply ‘because a large number of people in ‘the United States have some queer ‘notions about. the ability of certain animals to maintain a government somewhere near like oné which it ‘took the Anglo-Saxon race a thous‘and years to envolve, ' -

Of course it ig incumbent on this. government to act as a sort of policenian and keep a semblance of order in that part of the world, or in commou fairness we should turn the job over to some first class power and bury the vaunted Monroe Doctrine. A section of the new world which was the scene of anarchy and rapine long” before, we had existence as a nation and has continued in that state until now, really presents a set of conditions that calls for something besides the academric discussion of the rights of man and the covLsent of the governed, : ‘ We are boasting of the great work we are doing on the Isthmus of Panamsa and within a few years we will proudly ask the nations of the world to come and see what we have done to contribute to the world’s progress by bringing nations nearer to each other by several thousand miles, Is it possible that the ways leading to the place .of our great achievement shall then be bordersd by a lot of little jrresponsible states whose sole claim to .notice is that they econtinually are reeking wiith the blood of savage uprisings. = ,

PROFESSOR KING of the Wisconsin Experiment Station, recent- . ly said:--“In general farming there can be no question but that it is much better to follow the practice of giving frequent light dressings of manure to land, rather - than to apply large amounts at long intervals.” [ To secure the best rcs:ul_ts, manure must be spread evenly, covering the field like a carpet and not throswn around .in big bunches. To spread perfectly by hand is out of the question on account of the time and labor involved, hence ' a machine is necessary; but thus far few machines have been made that can lay thé manure in even an approximately smooth layer. = For years manufacturers have been trying to devise a beater that would spread evenly and wide—with the result that the machines have wide bulky -affairs, on account of being equipped with straight beaters. v THIS HAS BEEN ENTIRELY OVERCOME WITII . THE CIRCULAR BEATER AS APPLIED TO THE FEARLESS MANURE SPREADER ‘ SPREADS MANURE TWICE ITSOWN-WIDTH - -No other spreader-can throw the manure away beyvond "the wheels on each side—close to trees in an .orchard, or close along the fence. - - . We are ready to -demonstrate to vou these and other exclusive features of the “FEARLESS"—a spreadee that spreads. -
