Wool Tariff Progress.
The passage of .the La Follette
wool tariff by the senate la place" of
the democratic measure passed by
the house restores the situation ap
parently where It was a year ago.
But progress has nevertheless been
made, and there is a possibility of
fruitful Issue. Since the president's
veto last year, the tariff board has
made its report, and he has the find
ings before him as a guide in de
termining final action This being
the case, together with the fact that
the. question has again, been threshed
out in congress since the president's
refusal to sanction haphazard re
vision, a measure may emerge from
the conference that will pass muster
all around.
Another encouraging ' feature of
the later proceedings is the general
acceptance of the president's plan
for a permanent tariff board. This
is a vindication of his demand for
scientific tariff making, and if noth
ing else were accomplished by. the
controversy than to justify the wis
dom of that principle, , the results
would be appreciable and notewor
thy.
Correction Promptly Made.
CENTRAL CITY, Neb., July 24.-To the
Editor of the Bee: On the editorial page
of this morning's Bee appeared the fol
lowing clipping, which was credited to
the Central City Nonpareil:
As yet the republican candidates in Ne
braska have not endangered the floors of
the nee building by a stampede to Mr.
Rose water's private office In quest of
support
Will you do me the favor to transfer
the responsibility for this expression from
the Nonpareil to the Central City Repub
lican 7 The editorial from which the
paragraph was taken appeared in the
Republican last week.
I am having fun enough trying to
stand responsible for the editorial expres
sions of one newspaper without being
charged with the opinions that emanate
from my. esteemed contemporary.
! .It 8. TAYLOR.
Appreciating .Brother Taylor's
troubles, we make the correction
promptly with assurance of the ex
change man that the mistake in the
credit line was accidental and not
Intentional.
.-, Finger Print Evidence.
Some criminologists believe In the
adequacy of finger print evidence,
so much so that thej Puddin'head
Wilson discovery has come to be put
into practice occasionally1 in this
day of modern jurisprudence. ,. But
it Is evldenca which, it seems, should
be used chiefly in a supplementary
sense, for until science comes nearer
being exact it is of an intangible
character at best. .
But a touch of uncanny humor at
taches to a jury's conviction upon
finger print evidence for the theft of
an amulet belonging to a Pharoah
who lived some 6,300 ' years ago.
That makes out such a rococo case
for a twentieth century court of jus
tice as to incline one forbearlntly
to the view of the lawyer for the
defense that "a professor of science
(on whose expert testimony alone
this verdict rested) is a man who
can see a mosquito on the Masonio
temple scratch his back with -his
left hind leg, but cannot see the
mosquito." . .' ,
Possibly the finger print Is one of
the lost arts that played a prime
part In the primitive justice, but it
Is quite safe to say that modern
courts will for some time yet decline
to accept finger prints except as
corroboration of other testimony.

IN OTHER LANDS THAN OUES
Pertinent Pointers on Doings in Foreign Countries.
Golden Era of Japan.
In .the romances of modern history It
Is doubtful if an equal in' the fasci
nating Interest of achievements can be
found, for the record of the reign of Em
peror Mutsuhito of Japan. On November
3, 1852,. while Commodore Perry was pre
paring for the famous mission which re
sulted in the opening of Japan to Ameri
can commerce, the ruler of the Oriental
yankees first saw the light In the im
perial palace at Kyoto. As a boy he
knew no playmates and did not know
what play was. He was reared In an
imperial atmosphere as secluded from
the people as the people themselves were
from the outside world. Though Perry
gave the Japanese an object lesson In
the. value of cannon In the 60s, Japanese
soldiers were still fighting with bows
and arrows and swords in the civil war,
which ushered Mutsuhito to the throne in
1868. The young emperor did not grasp
readily the causes of national strife. It
was still death to leave the country, but
a few of the leaders challenged fate by
going abroad to study modern life and
methods. One of these was the late Mar
quis Ito, assassinated in Korea last year.
To this aggressive and receptive states
man and' his associate missionaries is
largely due the credit of showing the
emperor the broad road of modern devel
opment which has made Japan the won
der of the world. Mutsuhito cut loose
from the traditions of caste and customs.
At one stroke he destroyed the exclusive
ness of centuries by appearing among his
people In public. Ports were, opened to
all nations. A modern constitution was
adopted In 1890 and a representative as
sembly followed.. Modern war methods
were late In coming to Japan, but the
natives adopted them. . The Satsuma re-!
belllon was crushed In 1877, later on a
section of China was threshed and Its
navy destroyed. Ten years ago the
great Russian power, presumed to be in
vincible, was whipped to a standstill.
This great struggle for national life left
Japan with a tremendous publlo debt,
but the people bear it with the courage
and fortitude shown In the mighty grap
ple with' Russia. Progress In the arts of
peace inr manufacturing, shipping, agri
culture and education-have been equally
astonishing to the outside world. Rightly
Is the Mutsuhito reign called the
Meija" the era of enlightened progress,
the golden age of Japan.
'
Hlajh Taxes and High Rents. -
The effect of high taxes on municipal
progress Is forcefully shown In an Ameri
can consular report on the cost of hous
ing in Paris. Taxation In France touches
not only the land and the Improvements,
but makes a separate levy on the win
dows of a dwelling or othen building. The
steadily upward tendency of the govern
ment's share of the landlord's Income for
years past is shown In restricted expan-.
slon of habitations and a consequent up
lift in rents. Twelve years ago Paris
had 810,468 dwellings, representing a
rental value of $87,000,000. Last year the
report shows 033,904 dwellings and the
rental value raised to 8115,900,000. In this
period the population of Paris Increased
per cent, while the number of dwell
ings Increased 23 pe.' cent. This abnor
mal condition, seemingly contradictory,
is accounted for by a decreased number
of persons to each house,: chiefly single
men. occupying separate apartments. In
1890 the average number of persons to
each dwelling was 8.09. In 1911, it had
dropped to 2.89. "Even at this time," says
the consular report, "It Is very dim-
cult to find suitable lodging at reason
able prices; advances In rent "of 25, 30
and even 60 per cent have not been rare
In the last three years. In order to assure
homes for the increase of 20,000 Inhab
itants annually and constitute a reserve
of 4 per cent of vacant dwellings It Is
estimated that In the next three years
60,000 additional dwellings would be neces
sary . During the last decade the number
of structures In Paris Increased only
791, Although 10,226 new houses were
erected (not counting additions). 7,434
houses were demolished during the same
BUMPEE CROP OF CORN AND HOGS
Cheering Calculations Based on a Bountiful Harvest
' Wall Street Journal.
A change of nationwide significance is
already well under way In the impend
ing big corn crop. Because or tne bear
ing of the corn yield upon the cost of
raising hogs, the influence of hogs for
market upon the price of meat and the
effect of lower meat prices upon the
cost of living a big corn yield might
even have more political significance
than any of the party platforms or other
presidential pronouncements.
By the way the corn crop is now be
having the end of July should indicate
a crop not tar from 8,000,000,000 bushels.
Since these prospects became fairly
well confirmed by official reports, the
price of corn has been sliding down
ward from the level of last year's price
on July 1. December corn is cents
a bushel cheaper, and if other teedstuffs
produce correspondingly we may have
50-cent corn before November 1. This
means that a greater proportion of " a
mammoth crop may go into cattle and
hogs ton the farm than at any earlier
time within several years.
Encouragement for meat consumers can
be found In the quick-breeding possi
bilities of swine, as compared with any
other meat-producing animal. Western
stockmen are now .advertising pure bred
hog sales for littering In September.
That means a new generation in the
early summer or late spring of 1913.
During the past six months summer-born
pigs of 1911 have come to market at fif
teen of the packing house centers of the
west, in numbers amounting . to 16.000,000
STANDING UP FOR THE PARTY.
New Tork Tribune: ' Governor Deneen

primaries, but not being for T. R. he be
comes unworthy of confidence. Still the

New Tork World: The final refusal of
Governor Deneen of Illinois to take up

ers. Governor Hadley of Missouri, Gov
ernor Osborn of Michigan, Senator Works
of California. Senator Borah of Idaho,
Senators Cummins and Kenyon of Iowa
and Ormaby McHarg have already ' an

Forcing the Dardanelles.
The latest explanation of the so-called
attempt of the Italian fleet to force a
passage of the Dardanelles Is that the
Italian admiral sent a squadron of de
stroyers into the channel to see how far
It could go without detection. A portion
of the squadron returned with the infor
mation sought The Turks claim to have
sent two destroyers to the bottom and
to have damaged four more. The straits
are now closed to commerce, which will
touch the pocket conscience of trading
nations and stir diplomacy to peace over
tures once . more. The sea gate to the
Turkish capital, when properly guarded,
as it no doubt Is at present, challenges
destruction to any fleet seeking to force
it Not merely are there the guardian
fortresses of Killd-ul-Bahr and Sedd-ul-Bahr,
but there is ordnance thickly
planter along shore on both the barren
and forbidding European coast and the
gently sloping, tree-clad Asiatic shore.
The channel is about forty-two miles
long, from one to three miles in breadth
and has a maximum depth of 180 feet. It
was agreed between Turkey and the five
major powers in 1841 that ships should
only pass by the express consent of
Turkey; the agreement was confirmed at
London thirty years later and at Berlin
in 1878, but In 1891 the prohibition was
suspended to permit the "volunteer fleet''
of Russia to have the use of the water
way. ' '
Religions War la France.
Religious bodies in France are begin-
to realise the force of the maxim:
"An injury to one Is an Injury to all."
When separation of church and state was
decreed in France rivals of the state
church (the Catholic) enthusiastically, ap
plauded the law. But the subsequent con
fiscation of church property and the' sup'
plementary laws providing for state su
pervision of religious bodies and revenues
turned the applause of yesterday into
lamentations today. Before the separation
the Protestant churches, excepting those
that were free, received a share of the
publlo funds. Lice the Catholics they have
now lost this Income. It Is estimated that
there are nearly 600,000 Protestants in
France, 60,000 of whom are in Paris. These
churches are very poor. The French law
does not recognize the right of church
corporations to demand legacies and funds
that are left to them by will, and It is
only when the heirs are willing to turn
money over to them that they benefit by
wills. The Evangelical Lutherans now
ask for a law permitting the churches
to receive legacies that have "st been
authorised by the French cabinet The
Evangelical Reformed church goes fur
ther in asking the exemption of state
authorization In case of a gift or legacy
for current expenses. , The Paris corre
spondent of the New Tork Sun says: "It
Is doubtful If the relief asked for will
be granted, the fact being the French
church war Is really a war against re
ligion."
United for Home Role
The reception given Premier Asquith in
Dublin Is significant of the continued
solidarity between the British liberals and
the Irish nationalists and emphasizes also
the determination of the present goverg-
ment to yield nothing in Its endeavor to
enact the home rule bill into law before
the end of this parliament Home rule
Is now mainly a sit-tight and hold-fast
proposition. The government coaUtlon
needs only to keep intact long enough to
force the bill through in spite of the
veto of the lords and the long struggle
Inaugurated by Gladstone will end in
triumph for the Irish cause. The premier's
welcome in Dublin was exceptionally en
thusiastic, in view of the political situa
tion: the fact that tor more than a
century no other premier had visited
Ireland probably counted for little, Inter
esting as the circumstance was.
head against 18,967,000 in 1911, and only
10,850,000 head in the first half of 1910. The
Increasing number of marketed hogs, in
spite of a lighter average weight at most
of these markets, compared with earlier
years, is of much significance in the
future of meat prices.
Undoubtedly the basis of the produc
tion or swine in tne past three years
has been broadening. On January l.
1911, the recovery from the previous
year was at the rate of 128 per cent.
On January 1, 1912, the country had
65,410,000 swine, or about as In 191L The
average price during 1911 was $8.30 for
the high at Chicago. The rapid Increase
during 1911 was due to the extremely
high price of 1910, averaging tor the high
at Chicago IU.20 per 100 pounds. The
impulse which these premium prices
gave to the hog industry in 1911 was
materially checked by last year's small
corn crop of 2,631,000.000; but the fifteen
markets In question received over 8,000,000
head more than in 1910 to June SO.
In the past half year the Increase was
4,000,000 head more than in 1910, and the
lr die tlons are that for the latter half
of this "year and for the - first half of
1918 the country will receive an unpre
cedented accession of corn-fed hogs at
Its slaughtering centers, to say nothing
about the grass-fed and other varieties
which good feed crops now favor greatly
above the condition of 191L Apparently
cheaper meat of this kind is in sight.
Cheaper meat and cereals should mean
lower living costs, - greater prosperity
and wider political contentment.
Roosevelt's candidacy, he might possibly
have carried the state But the most
that his followers can now expect to do
Is. to divert enough strength from the
Taft ticket to throw Illinois into the
democratic column.
New Tork Post: Governor Deneen was
renominated In the same primaries, last
spring, which were swept by Mr. Roose
velt on the Lorimer Issue, and he is loth
to give up his advantage as the regular
candidate for governor of the republican
organization. He must now face, of
course, he additional opposition of a
Roosevelt state ticket for that Is the pen
alty, according to Dixon, to be visited
