As a consequence of the iafononnal number of rainy days we ihave had lately, these pessimists are Very free with their predictions of Ivarious dire calamities over-shadowing ar country. To listen to them you ."would conclude that crops are ruined ifor all time to come and that as a rejeult our farmers will soon be in their Sold position of being heavily mortgag ed. And in view of the supposed crop failure, these pessimists will oeadily convince you that every other tine of business is going to the dogs. Getting down to the real facts of the case, however, you will find that the pessimists in drawing so realistically, a picture of approaching hard times, have conjured most of the basis for argument out of their own fertile Imaginations. About the only crops yr are shy on in the United States this year are wheat and optimtsts. The wheat crop has been materially reduced by the ravages of the "green bugs" nd frost. We can give no reason for the dearth of optimists, unless it be Jack of sunshine. The pessimists, however, assure us that the corn crop has also been wiped out. As a matter of fact there are probably more acres planted to "corn this year than eyer before, a fact due to the apparently sure failure of the wheat crop. Farmers have ploughed up the land they had planted in wheat and replanted it in corn. Kven if this year snould prove disastrous to crops, it would not put the Becks of our farmers under the mortgage yoke again. Farmers have had ten years of prosperous times. They have paid off their old mortgages, Approved their property r '& have money in the bank. And the latter is the important point. Ten years or so ago, farmers were heavy borrowers of the banks. Today the banks are bor-j rowing money from the farmers. The basis of our prosperity rests upon our! farmers, and nothing short of about ten successive crop failures can destroy the prosperity built up by as many years of excellent crops. So if the pessimists care to carry on the controversy farther, about the only thing !theywill havo left to speculate on is whether or not we will have ten successive crop failures, and if so, what : effect it will have upon the fall of enow next winter. The government cannot prosecute JIarriman on account of the testimony he delivered before the interstate commerce commission rendering him 'immune. The commission should be -more careful in- the future not to deal ;ut its immune vaccine on big railway grafters who ought to be brought to justice and taught the neat fitting aspects of a striped suit behind penitentiary bars. "Jesse R, Grant is being favorably jnentioned as a candidate for president on the democratic ticket. Mr. Grant, who is a son of General Grant, has done nothing noteworthy for his country, and should not forget that in the United States the honors of the father do not descend to the son.

SUBSCRIBER. CONGESTED CITY LIFE. J. II. Hale of Connecticut is perhaps the only man in this country who has literally refused to become a United States senator. Strange as this may seem to the most of us, it is true, nevertheless. He is a public spirited man in the true sense of the word. lie has always been interested in movements for the betterment of hts town and state and country. Some few years ago he was tendered the election as senator "on a silver platter" as he aptly put it. When waited upon by the legislative committee, Mr. Hale literally held up his hands. "Gentlemen,!' he said, "I do not want to be elected to your august senate. Really I don't. I'd rather be a farmer. Besides, there is more money in it." Mr. Hale, who has gained considerable prominence as a public speaker, says he is still "close to the soil." The time has long since passed when you must go to the city to live for comfort and luxury. There is nothing in city life that can not be had in the country, as we country people look at the world today. It has been the all prevailing idea and it prevails now to some extent, ! that country folks are "Reubs." But the point is just here. Many of our ' diverse financial schemes, which men- ! ace our public affairs, and, some think threaten our very liberty. is bad for a few men to control the finances of our country, is it not likewise bad; to have a congested center which occupies a small area of our country, have so much political power as they do? These large municipal interests are not always in harmony with the country at large: so their ideas of government become selfish, their public men are schemers, since they are like all other Americans, are after the dollar, and they seem to have no other method of obtaining it than scheme, scheme, scheme. Hence arises, our scheming politicians, who to say the least, are not good law makers for the masses. Might it not be good if the size and distance from each other of our cities be controlled by a good, wholesome law, affecting their growth. Then all parts of the country would be affected alike, and would have all the advantages and disadvantages of the congested centers. Leave out the schemes and we would have more men like Mr. Hale of Connecticut, who would find it more pleasant and profitable to live ii the country, and when necessary for them to legislate, they would legislate, 0 ... !:.: . j in and around these large towns and cities.

The bill provides an in crease of pay for every officer and enlisted man in the service, but on a graded scale. This feature is different from the former bill. The pay 'of the lieutenant-general in the army is increased 10 per cent; the major-generals and brigadier-generals, 15 per cent; colonels, lieutenant-colonels, and majors, 20 per cent.; captains, first and second lieutenants, and cdets, 25 per cent., and all enlisted men,. 30 per cent. There is a corresponding increase for all officers and men in the navy and marine corps. Midshipmen, after graduation, and previous to being commissioned as ensigns, are allowed, under the proposed bill, the same pay as second lieutenants in the army.

IMPROVEMENT OF ROADS Will Mean Increase in Number Of Automobiles, Kineston. June S. There are but sixi automobiles in the Kingston district of Canada, mostly of American make, but a proposal is before the city aldermen to spend $73.XK on road improvements. If passed this will mean an increased demand for road machines There are several hundred motor boats in the waters of the district and among the Thousand Islands and the demand is increasing. Boats ranging from 20 to 30 feet in length and with 3 to 10 horse power engines, are in most favor. American-made engines gener ally rule the market, but the hulls are constructed at less cost on the Cana dian side.

TRADE UNION IN THE MAKING The Early Effort of Printers at Organization, and Their Great Trade Union of Today.

Every other month the Department issues a bulletin setting forth in statistical form labor conditions throughout the country, and also embracing special articles by agents of the department and noted economists. Bulletin No. 61, issued in November, 1905, had a notable contribution from Mr. Ethelbert Stewart, one of the special agents I of the Department of Commerce and Labor, captioned "A Documentary Hism tory of the Early Organizations of Printers." That a number of discon -

nected societies , existed in various.lt is shown that for more than a hun carts of the United States orior to the! dred years the International Typo

formation of the unions as now constituted, while not perhaps generally known, will not be new to students of the history of labor organizations. I "The references to these early organ- J izations are usually hazy," says Mr. i Stewart in the article referred to." con-! taining no more than a mere statement that they existed at certain dates with no evidence offered of the truth of even these statements. In this article it is believed the first attempt is made to be specific in the information presented about these early organizations, In this respect at least the article rep - resents pioneer work in its field, not only in the reproduction of documents, but in the resort to the minute" books of these societies as a source of information about other kindred societies. Thus the transcription of circular letters from other societies, upon the records of the Columbia society, or the New York or the Philadelphia societies has furnished documentary proof of PLANNING TO PROTECT THE NATIONAL ANTHEM Star Spangled Banner" Association Formed. ARTICLES INCORPORATION. New York, June S With the avowed purpose to protect the national anthem of the United States in the form it was originally written by Francis Scott Key, "The Star Spangled Banner" Association of America has been incorporated at Albany. The action of the state and city school authorities in emasculating the third verse of the anthem in the song books used in the public schools, inspired the formation of the associations. Charles R. Skinner, who was State Superintendent of Public Instruction in 1900, was re sponsible for the omission of the verse and he gave as his reason that lines were offensive to a now friendly na tion.

Trade unions have been much ln the public eye for the last five years, s Few people have the time, or perhaps ; the inclination to give study to the, early growth of the great trade unions ; of today, , although nearly every one! will be interested in a brief history of ' this phenomenal upbuilding, such as it ; furnished in the bulletin of the Depart-1 ment of Commerce and Labor referred ; to, in connection with the Interna-? rr 1- j , t-: i ii-i wuuu, ue: ! foundation rests upon the early ef-; j fort of printers to OTgSinize typoSraPh!ical unions and typographical societies.; graphical Union was in the making, ; and that it has taken all this time for j this great trade organization to reach j its present strength and high standing in the public estimation. !

EMPLOYES TO BE CHARGED. REPORT THAT THEY MUST PAY . TWO-CENT RATE. There Would Be a Big 'Gain to the Roads in Receipts by Such Action. Through the actions of the state legislatures in passing two-cent fare laws throughout the central and western states as wellas a few states in the east, it is highly ' probable the railroads, including the Pennsylvania, j vill charge all employes the straight two-cent rate, as other people are charged. The passes, it is understood will be used only by the heads of departments and their chief clerks, if the ruling is made. It is estimated that the railroads would gain between two and three hundred thousand dol- j lars each year by discontinuing the passes to the employes 1 Even the remotest idea of such move, does not meet with favor among the local employes of the Pennsylvania. One of them states that although lie did not use much mileage cf this nature each year, when he did travel, and at that over j his company's own lines he did not ; feel that he should be made to pay, a .
