If it is the purpose of |flie farmers to largely increase their 5ot* ton acreage they will make a 4is- lake. If it is their intention to g] ly diversify their crops and, greater extent than ever to j raise their own supplies, then le You might call 8enator Depew one of the most extinguished American citizens. Dr. Wiley says that bottled whis key never *orka harm until the cork has been pulled. Gov*, Johnson of Minnesota says $10,000 a year Is enough for any man to recelvo for his services. This talk about there being a Joker in the Santo Domingo deal does not h*fer to Senator Patterson. Not that it will make any differ ence—but the last coal strike cost something like $100,000,000. Speaking of going some, the house passed 420 pension bills recently in seventy two minutes. Some of the work thus Inspired has been abandoned for one cause or an other, but some of it has been push ed with sustained determination. This is especially true of the cam' paign begun under German auspices. A consular report recently received at Washington gives an indication of the progress made In the last two years in German East Africa. Judged only by statistics of pro duction, the movement does not yet seem formidable. About one thous and bales (of five hundred pounds each) were exported in 1904, and larger quantity was expected last year, though It has not yet been prac ticable to estimate the gain. But even If as much as two thousand bales had been shipped, the amount ^ . - c ~, _ would have been insignificant. Again Senator Tillman says that the sen ate is busy dodging Issues.

Hence, if tm farmers want to be on the safe sH» let them raise their cotton as cheap- ly as they can, anl keep the acre age within reasonable limits. They can keep the cost of production down to 6 cents a pound by raising their supplies, and they can keep the acreage within reasonable lim its by giving more attention to diver sified crops.

THE FAILURE OF TRIAL BY JURY The principle of trial by Jury which we are accustomed to rate so highly as “the palladium of our civ il rights,” as Blackstone terms if, received a severe blow In the acquit' tal of Pat Crowe in Omaha last Fri day. Crowe kidnapped the son of Edward A. Cudahy, the wealthy Oma ha packer anJ extorted the payment of $25,000 from the father for the re* lease of his son. Mr. Cudahy paid the money to save his son from the fate of Charley Ross, but afterwards he had Crowe ln<y nine cents, was the sentence lm* potto .1 recently upon two men at Rlnghnmpton; find the the propor tionate sentence for stealing a mil lion?

Since the average cow pays $10.00 a year profit an.l the average hen $1 a yea/, ten hens equals one cow. and that being true in mathematics, how many mangy sheep killing dogs equal a horse. Out of every 100 people in the United States, fifty-two are farmers. The value of farm Interests exceeds twenty billions and of factories less than ten billions.

A WORD TO THE FARMERS. The farmers are supposed to know’ their ^business better than their woull-be advisers, but a word on the right line may help them to avoid a mistake. What we have in mind is the tendency to plant for a big crop of cotton because of the high price of that product. In our dispatches yesterday from Valdosta, It was sta* ted that the fertilizer factories had called ofT their agents because their sales had already reached the full amount of their output. The sales of the Valdosta factories have been large, and it is fair to assume they have been in other parts of the | had proved a shield to an atrocious | crime. — A GOOD DEAL OF A BORE. We are getting rather tired of the no*th pole. It has been overdone. Time was when we .were Intensely curious to know’ about it and thought perhaps its discovery might have some commercial value, but now it is different. We know pretty well that nothing is to be gained by lo cating the pole beyond the satisfac tion of a dulled curiosity and the am bition of the hunter. We can get on very well without the alleged "geog raphical and scientific facts’’ to be adduced by the discovery And we are tired of making heroes of the plain or garden chumps who go in search of the pole. Every man who wants to he a hero and break into print trots off to discover the north pole and comes back afterward and tells us how and why he failed, and will we make up a purse to send him again? Sure to find It this time. It’s getting to be a nuisance. Let the old pole alone. Nobody want* it anyway. GEORGIA—LOWNDES County. To all whom it may concern: A. E.

The Beef Trust Is unpopular ln Omaha, and fnese enlightened Jurymen allowed their prejudices against Cudahy to blind them to their duty to do Justice, and in the Interests of all fathers to punish this kidnaper and extortioner. They pro- nounced him not guilty, and Pat Crowe’s comment on their verdict is: “Thoro are a good many people In this world who don’t like the way Cudahy got his money any better than the way he lost It.” By this verdict one of the rankest pieces of villainies ever committed is condoned and npproved. The kid naper is released and encouraged to steal some other rich man’s son and compel ransom, since a Jury declares it is no crime. The verdict w’as ap plauded In the courtroom, to the great Indignation of the trial Judge, who would not permit Crowe to thauk the jury for acquitting a noto rious criminal.
