Coal Shortage Scare.
. ;From the Missouri river east coal
dealers are raising the cry of an
anthracite shortage, as a result of
diminished outputs at the mines, to
gether with the heavy draft made
upon American supplies as .a result
of the British strikes. Some of the
reports of supplies on hand as com
pared with the normal at this time
of the year, are startling. Chicago,
New York and Boston and all the
great consuming centers, not except
ing Omaha, are in the same predica
ment. In New York and Boston
dealers are holding conferences to
which hey invite representatives
from the mines, to devise with them
jome solution of the problem. One
suggestion . is that consumers go
lightly on their early orders, leaving
purchases to le made in January,
when the demand is usually light.
, Something is radically wrong with
the management of the great, pro
lific mines of this 1 country when
autumn is allowed to catch our docks
and bins empty and at the mercy of
circumstances. We have had no se
rious tie-up of operations as a result
of labor disputes, and even though
British ships had to load from Amer
ican docks during the period of the
English strikes, that should not have
been sufficient' to cause , such an
alarming scarcity of coal for Amerl
can use when the machinery of our
own mineB was running full "blast, or
might have.'' been-' so run, without
much interruption. Of course, these
coal shortage reports generally seem
more serious in August than in De
cember, and- yet the advance of
prices already tends to . suggest real
gravity, , , ", , s.
Tbe Reverie. Side-of the Recall.
One of the possibilities of the re
call Is that it may be invoked by one
element in the community as well as
by the other. This has been shown
by the effort made in Oakland, Cel.,
by what was referred to as "the law
less element," to oust city official
who persisted in enforcing a "lid"
law. The result was defeat 'for the
lid lifters, but the experience illus
trates the expense and possibilities
involved in this new political device.
In some communities such an effort
might have succeeded and officials
whose Only, offense had been rigid
enforcement of a law enacted by the
'people' representatives would have
been, turned out as "unfaithful" or
"inefficient" public servants. At
least some odious charge would have
attached to them.
The. recall work both(ways. It
has a dual character and may be em
ployed for ill as well as good pur
poses and results. The Oakland ex
ample;' while net entirely' unique,
doubtless will have tbe effect of
arousing., new public interest, one
way or another, 'la this experimental
Instrument, especially' in cities that
are contemplating tbe adoption of
the recall system. Political fortunes
turn on very slight circumstances
sometimes, and it is possible to con
jure up prejudices against very
good officials and by this mean ac
complish their overthrow for the
benefit of a small part of the pec pie.
High Prices and Corn.
, The Nebraska farmer who predict
$1 corn before the year is out cer
tainly takes no chances at least in
saying that the high price of corn is
here to stay. He might go further
and say . that high prices of every
thing are here to stay. They are be
cause they have been a factor In
raising the general standard of living
and we are not likely ever to fall
back much from the plane on which
we are now enjoying ourselves,
though much remains to be done in
the matter of economic read just
tneat. It is this, lnvoIving.fcl6ser
economy and higher efficiency,
rather than a decisive reduction r of
prices to which it is more reason
able for ;u8 to' look.' ,-V...
As to corn, our friend Is right In
pointing to the multiplicity of staple
purposes it Is serving, as one' of the
chief reasons why that cereal will
continue to bring a high price. As a
food article It Is more extensively
used today than ever, and this as
well as its use in commerce and
industry will continue rather than
abate. Every indication points to an
upward rather than a downward
tendency. , , ' .
Of course, it is a mere coincident
that Mr. Funk, 'the bull moose can
didate for governor of Illinois, Is a
multi-millionaire. The' same might
be said of George Whatagob Per
kins, Boss Fllnn, the McCormicks,
Dan Wanna, Dick Quay and a- few
Others. But what's the use? Let
the people rule, that is, all except
the colored people. '
White, black, Jew, Gentile, Prot
estantr Catholic, make up the
procession 'of Jullu Rosenwald's
beneficiaries, by which philanthropy
assume a cosmopolitanism further
to commend it.
That Chicago promoter who bor-
rowed $1,500,000 without ':. a cent
actually, to his credit is almost as
good a financier as the New York
police officer who saves 1200,0(10 in
eight months out of an annual salary
of SJ.250.
How is it possible to believe that
the New York district attorney's of
fice has accumulated more evidence
in the graft-murder cases than it
really, needs,' since Detective f Burns
had nothing to do with the accumu
lation? Or perhaps he will later
show that he directed the investi
gators by some occult means.
Yet the country does not forget
those signed letters by Theodore
RooseVelt and E. H. Harrlman, when
"we (were) are both practical men."
, If the arrest 6f aldermen. In De
troit continues much longer, it may
become aeecessary for the people of
that city to prove that they are not
aldermen. .

FINANCIAL AID FOR THE FARMERS
System in Operation Abroad Feasible in; This Country.
New York Tribune. '
Ambassador Irishman's report on the
operation of the Ralffelsen system of
rural banks In Germany, recently pub
lished by the State department will be
an Important aid In working out Presi
dent Taft's plan to give to th farmers
of th country the command of capital
and credit for their enterprises on fair
terms; such as the manufacturer and the
business man enjoy. This Is a practical,
progressive measure which does not lend
Itself particularly well to the sensational
ism of demagogues, but It promises more
for tho prosperity and happiness of the
Industrious millions . of small means
dwelling In the country than do air the
loudly advertised political nostrums.
The Tribune has more than once re
ferred to th Ralffelsen banks and th
improvement they have wrought in Im
poverished districts In Germany and Ire
land, and we have urged the Introduc
tion of some similar system Into th
United State by which farmers lacking
the capital to cultivate their fields to
the greatest profit and contribute to the
food supply of the nation the lanreet
possible crops might be enabled to carry
on their business efficiently. Arlcultur
is probably the least efficiently conducted
Industry in the United States. Educa
tion Is doing much to Improve It. The
growing cost of food makes the problem
acuta not only for th farmer but for th
whole nation. Commissions have been ap
pointed to study tbe subject Mr. Roose
velt, while president had the rural re
gions surveyed by sociologists. Much
has been said about the need of schools
and social opportunities and amusements
to resist the trend to the cities. But
down at botton the rural problem la one
of economics, and no business can be
prosperous and attractive when carried on
with .inadequate equipment and inade
quate credit The lack of thtsm ieave
vast stretches of our fields half tilled.
Copitai stands ready today to finance
on easy terms the enterprises of th mer
chant or manufacturer. It would gladly
b at th command of the farmer, but our
system does not make such co-operation
easy and safe. It Is not that capital is
shy of agriculture in Itself. Vast sums
are put into large farming enterprise,
either through mortgages or through In
vestments In irrigation and farm com
panies. But the machinery does not exist
for co-operation with th small pro
prietor, whose preservation and prosper
Ity are fn hope of democracy. This
machinery the' Ralffelsen-system sup
plies, and Mr. Taft's leadership in direct
ing attention to the possibilities of ex
tending rural credit by this means points
to a genuinely larger democracy and
more extended prosperity.
THE SHAME OF DETROIT
Besponsiblity for the Disgrace Put on the Voters.
Detroit Free Press. " '
The blame for Detroit's present dis
grace cannot be all thrown off onto tho
aldermen, however deeply they may be
Involved In these charged misdeeds. Borne
part of It, and a very large part, too, at
taches to th cltlsens of Detroit, the
voters who put the aldermen where they
ar.
Ignorance cannot be pleaded. The cltl
sens have been put on guard about this
matter very often. The newspapers, the
Municipal league, the , ministers, have
been talking about It. For years it ha
been notorious that our aldermen were
In receipt of salaries insufficient to at
tract competent and honest men, but that
there was no lack of applications for tho
Jobs. The voters have known that the
pay received by aldermen Is only flOO a
month, and they have seen men give np
for them salaried places that paid $1,800
or more a year. They have known that
some of the aldermen have no other oc
cupation than their official sutiea, and
th inference was unei capable. The $1,200
a year that went to th aldermen from
the city treasury was not enough to sup
port existence in these days' of ..high
prices, and even from Its meager sum
must be deducted the constant outgo ot
contributions to every charity appeal that
started In the city, to say nothing of th
cost of campaign contribution to po
litical parties, and the other endless de
mands upon officeholders
Yet we, th citizens and voters of De
troit, knowing all these things and being
average men of Intelligence, have been
electing' to the council men whom we
knew to hay no other means of support
than the money that they would get
from their office, and we knew that they
were not getting enough honestly to sus
tain bare livelihood. We stand convicted,
we voters, of complicity in these bribery
crime. W have deliberately or with
criminal Indifference to our duties chosen
the men who have now brought upon us
what we are content to call shame. We
knew.' We knew. ,
What are we going to do about it? The
Individual, culprits, hav been caught.
They will repent and reform. But if the
legally guilty are reforming what of th
morally guilty 1 Are the voters of De
troit to continue in the courses that they
hav been following? Will they keep on
sending men to public office who ar ob
viously exposed to temptation, and as ob
viously yielding to the temptation? Th
aldermen we have had have not been
creditable .to us for th most part, but
they ar the kind of aldermen that has
suited Detroit heretofore or they Wouldn't
have been where they were. They got
into offlc through , the voters. What
kind of aldermen do the voters Intend to

JUSTICE HARLAN'S MODEST ESTATE
teg-al Profession Raising; Fund to Protect the. Family.
. . , , . Philadelphia Public Ledger. ....
The appeal of a committee of eminent
lawyers to'niembers ofthe bar 'of' the
supreme court ',ti' 'raise, a fund of f),000
for. the widow and two daughters of the
lat Associate Justice John M. Harlan,
calls attention to the extremely modest
estate 'of th Jurist who, for nearly
thirty-four years was a member of our
highest tribunal. He left an estate ap
praised at less than $2,500. ,
...e conduct of certain Judges, in very
rare instances, who have been oblivious
of the ethical Impropriety Involved in fis
cal obligations to those who might ap
pear before them as litigants, ha been
under public surveillance of late and th
results of tnvestlgatibn have given advo
cates of the recall tbe specious warrant
they heeded for their attempts to under
mine popular confidence in the Judiciary.
Tne" honorable poverty" of Jutle Harlan
Is an eloquent rebuke to those who 'as
sail bur court venal and aver that It
Is a common practice Among Judges to
remov th blindfold and deflect ttv
scales for Croesus against Lazarus. The
example of Justice Harlan as a Jurist
who strove to interpret the law as no
respecter of persons IS by no means
uniqiie. It Is the rule; which the very rare
exception merely prove. It is to the
credit ot the legal profession that most
lawyers stand willing to sacrifice the lib
eral emoluments of successful private
practice, not for the comparatively
slender Income that is' Incommensurate
with the personal distinction and high
responsibility of membership in the
Judiciary. ' ' ' ' '
NEGLECTED NEEDS OF AGRICULTURE
Present Situation Calls for Safeguards for the Future.
. Minneapolis Journal. ,
In fifty years w shall be unable to
feed our population, unless radical re
forms ar adopted in " our agricultural
methods." . '.
So the National Sol) Fertility league
was told Jby Its president, who further
said: -
"This country will Inevitably face a
famine in food unless the soil Is greatly
Improved," and"th agricultural situa
tion In tne United States has been so
neglected that within twenty years w
will be forced to Import our principal
food products from other lands." .
This would seem preposterous, were It
not really true. Th United States, the
greatest and most fertile stretch Of lands
In th temperate son, so neglected and
mismanaged.
Every platitude ever uttered concerning
th importance, th Indlspcnsablllty of
agriculture ' to the prosperity and the
morals of a ; nation) , Is true, absolutely
true. Hence every welt considered effort
made by a government to' fortify, to In
tensify, to expand Its agriculture. Is
justified.
, It a nation can spend $400,000,000 . on a
great canal, can stimulate manufacture
and trad by every manner ot means, It
can well afford, to apply to agriculture
similar attention and support.
To be sure, the situation provokes the
projection of unsound schemes, expensive
and showy. But so does every worthy
cause.. On the other hand, if it Is demon
strated that $3,000,000 a year of. the nation's-
money distributed among the
states to support agricultural colleges is
an effective method of agricultural Im
provement the price . Is not staggering.
Congress spends much more money every
year on absolutely worthless fads or
things that Have not even the pretension
of fads.
The tact is that this agricultural caua
Is the most Important of all the cause
to th fore. It will better repay study
and .expenditure. Neglected, it will cost
u dearly. Wisely dealt with, it will re
ward us well.

thirty state is expected.. I am not a
knocker on poultry shows for I have
been a very heavy exhibitor at all sows
that were held by the Trl-City and
Trans-Mississippi Poultry associations,
for I like to see them pan Out well. But,
If there Is going to be an entry fe of
$1.50 charged for single birds ani an
entry fee of SS for a pen of five blrde,
Instead ot the expected number of 4 Off)
bird, the number will not be over 40)
and the promoters of the show may
think themselves lucky If they have even
400 birds on exhibition. A few of the
millionaires who are In the poultry busi
ness for the pleasure of the thing may
exhibit their 0,000 birds, but the rank
and file .of the poultry breeder are not
millionaires and most of them are fur
ther from, being milUpnaires than they
were before they went Into the poultry
business. If the promoters of this, show
want to make a success of it they want
to fix a more reasonable line ot .entry
fee for the exhibitors to pay.
