ed a big sensation by proposing to
William Jennings Bryan to nominate
Theodore Roosevelt for president at
the next national democratic conven

at present advised he would not do
it" The fact of it is, the once great
democratic party can find no fit man
to lead it except Bvran, and it is also
generally conceded that a man who
has made as many false predictions as
Bryan, can never lead his party to vic

"President Roosevelt's recent state
ment regarding his policy toward rail
roads and corporations,'' says Henry
Gears, "was distinctly icassnring. As
repeatedly stated in these advices, the
President was not so radical as sup
posed. He had been much misrepre
sented in his attitude towards the rail
roads, causing an unnecessary and
unusual degree of apprehension in
financial circles. Mr. Roosevelt is
opposed to government ownership;
doesnot want the government to fix
the rate, and fully appreciates the im
possibility of getting a fair valuation
of the railroads today or of squeezing
out the water in stocks that were once
over-capitalized. Mr.Roosevelt chiefly
sires to stop well known railroad
abuses in the future, and to prevent
continued over-capitalization of our
railroads.' These reforms will eventu
ally prove as much to the interest of
the railroads as to the people, and the
time will probably .come when rail
road managers and railroad stockhold
ers will thank Mr. Roosevelt for the
stoppage of such abuses and thus de
stroying the greatest incentive to gov
ernment ownership that exists."

The St Louis judge who has just
expressed a judicial degree of impa
tience with the silly pretexts for di
vorce which are often brought before
him, expresses one of the most pro
found facts of the grievous situation
which is called by courtesy the "di
vorce problem." That there is such
a thing as a divorce problem in the
world is not to be denied, but it is not
raised in one case out of twenty which
are brought into the courts for settle
ment The statutes of nearly all of
the states leave judges with little or
no discretion. The word "incompati
bility" is a very broad and inclusive
one, and can be made to cover, oral
least is made to cover, a multitude of
acts etther mutual or on the put of
one member of aa unhappv pair to
ward the other, indicating perversity,
obstinacy, selfishness or other things
which may be aggravating, but which
raise no problems for judicial settle
ment The Bibical ground of divorce
cruelty and improvidence are the only
ones which the courts should be called
to consider. It may be safely assum
ed that a husband who drags his
wife into court on trivialities which a
real man could easily compose with a
real woman, lacks those nlrmcnts of
manhood which would make Irving

One would have supposed that with
the htte frost and dry fell of 1906 the
seed corn would this year be of the
best, and therefore we are surprised to
learn from widely different sections
that actual tests show a .very low ger
mination, particularly in the northern
portion of the corn belt All of which
emphawscs the importance, upon
which we have insisted in season and
out of season, of the farmer knowing
by actual test the condition of his need
rn this year. Whether times are
good or bad there is' no reason to be
afraid of anyone growing too much
comvthis year. Our requirements in
the United States are about 2,500,
000,000 bushels. In other words, it
takes that much to run us at the rate
we are living, and anything short of
that would mean very high priced
com and more or lev serious trouble.
Even a partial failure of the corn crop
this year would check very seriously
the prosperity which we have been
enjoying for years past You cannot
have booming times on a short corn
crop. A shortage of ten bushels per
acre the United States over would be a
national calamity which would affect
not only this country but the whole
civilized world; and a shortage of ten
bushels per acre might very easily
occur if the. corn which the farmer
plants this year does not germinate
properly.

"But certainly unless they attempt
