Mr. Carnegie thinks the steel latereBt
Is now rich enough to do a little uplift
work in the way of tariff revision. If
the revisionists once get a lever under
the high tariff structure something
will surely have to go. Perhaps that's
what Mr. Carnegie aims to give tliem,
a lever made of steel bars.

At the old H. H. Rohrer stand. C. A. HUNTLEY, Mgr.
of lords was taken as a joke by the
peers until it was actually proposed in
secret comntittee to abolish the he
reditary rights of the 520 members
composing that chamber to their seats.
The new idea is to cut the number In
two and make all seats elective, which
means the abolition of sacred rights.
But with Its traditional powers re
tained, an elective body might prove
as old fogyish as the hereditary one.

Without waiting for a decision in
the debate soing op all dv^r the coun
try as to the lowest limit for income
desirable In married life, a Harvard
professor and a Boston preacher have
undertaken to tlx a limit dogmatically.
It is reported that the professor holds
It to'be a "sin against the country" for
man to marry uhless bis. income. Is
at least ?8Q0 a year" and that tjie
preacher will refuse to perform the
ceremony for a man'whose income is
less than $121er week The justlflca
tiop -for the limit is essentially the
same in each case. -j-
The' professor holds that children
cannot be properly brought up on an
income less than $800 a year, and an
attempt to do so would- "lo^er" the
Standard of American citRsvnship."
The preacher thinks that marriage on
less than $13 a week "tends to the in
crease ol poverty." These views are
noteworthy at a (time when restric
tions are being placed" upon marrying
in haste! The restrictions,- however,"
have to do with the legal status of the
union. The taking out of a .l!c£n^e
leads to some deliberation and is^not
without moral effect. As a-'rule-all
who are Uiterested in the marriage of
any particular couple, except some
times the candidates theraselv^s^favor
deliberation. Restrictions. therefore,
are not likely to became unpopular un
less they -tend to discourage wedlock.
Strangely enough, this tendency of
ours to place restrictions, of one sort
and another upon marriage 56 contem
porary with a movement in France to
abate long standing restrictions which
are believed to have discouraged mar
riage and worked harm for the" coun
try and for society. Perhaps there is
a healthy middle ground and We-shall
.reach it iifter a stage of 'experiment.
A Little Japanese Fiction.
\'It must have required some clever
coaching to work the present genera
tion of Japs up for the hearty .-wel
come they recently,' gave our.,Rattle
ship fleet. The keynote of the wel
come seems' to have been that the
Americans brought greatness and pros
perity to Japan and that the demon
stration of 1008, was only an answer
to the call of Commodore Terry fifty
y/ears ago, when Japan was opened up
to the woricL
Now, the Japanese hate the foreign
er today, as heartily as their ancestors
did when Perry somehow convinced
them that it would be a good thing to
mix -with the world. If has never "been
made clear whether it was the size
of Perry's fleet and guns or an appre
ciation of the big land behind the
fleet and guns that converted the Japs
in ISijS or Terry's diplomatic way of
putting the whole question. -It was
not unanimous- then with the nation.
Civil strife followed. Finally the.Lib
erals won, although they had to con
cede about everything to the universal
prejudice against foreigners. How''
this could have been explained to the
present day Japs, who worship their
ancestors and are not inclined to for
get the past-and "let bygones be by
gones," is a riddle. Perhaps there IS a
Japanese fairy lore In whieb the Amer
ican smile and the American toucbj.al

Tradition and' Farming.
The part that science can play in
successful farming is up for discus
sion. We*ia.re even told, that agrlcul-'
,ture is all a matter of science, whether
the boy learns It at college or behind
the plow. The ways of nature have,
to be mastered somehow, and it Is
plain that science cannot change them.
Professor II. H. Bailey of the Cornell
Agricultural college says that mere
knowledge of the laws,underlying pro
duction will not make a man a good
farmer. Ite must see' the laws ..at
work.
The boy on the farm s^es the laws.
At
work. He may never know the'
why and wherefore of the phenomena'
dally before him, the same grass tuts-,
lng to wool and mutton here and to'
hair and milk there- But bis fattier
tells hita the lesson which he learned
from his father—that it's the right tbing
to feed the cows and, sheep op the Mine
grass. Traditions^ are the product of
applied science. They record bitter fail
ureas well as happy success in the(llfe'
and death struggles man irts waged
•with the soil.

The Electoral College:
^Mctl^r speaking, there is no'.nicli
thing as an, electoral ^p^egc as Ifce
term is. ordinarily .^accepted. Each
stA^ has its own. electoral College-and
fixes' its awn mode .- of appointing its
qaembers, tlie national congress deter
mining when they shall be chosen and.
the date when they shall cast their
votes. At present tjiere Is no casting
Of votes in the uspal sense, for that
function has. been performed ty the
national conventions whibb nominated
the candidates for president and vice
president.,r -\.
T^ie members of the, feieCtoira^ college
are chosen by popular vote, and their
number in cach.jstate. Is equal to the
number of representatives sent by the
state to congress... Tiey are required
to meet on the same day at the several
state capitals and vote by ballot. They'
.ate not expected to vote as a unit nqr
to meet for the purpose of declaring
a result already^ decided by others.
In point of fact, they do, vote as a
unit,!^ arid for this reason the present
System" Is sometimes spoken of as
cumbrous arid useless. .The national
convention names its party's choice,
and the electors, are nominated and"
elected to record tjiat vpice in the way,
required by the 'highest law of the
land.. .•
1
Cbritirigericies may arise when the
individual .status or attitude of an
elector would fee important.. ^The state.
certifies1' the electoral college, deter
mining all controversies and contests
regarding the appointment of its ow'n
presidential electors. If any .state .is
uiiable to settle a dispute congress -bas
the decision in its hands, arbitrarily if
It chooses.
The validity &f any state's .certifi
cate otlts own electoral vote has nev
er been seriously .questioned. In 1857
one electoral college, having five votes,
failed to meet on the day. appointed,
but as the vote was not enough to de
cide the election the contest over this
Incident came to nothing. It-has been
decided'that the disqualification of an
elector at the time'of. the popular elec
tltip. does npt disqualify his vote:'in
the college, since the fact of bis elec
tion registers the people's will as to
the national candidates. This, decision
in 1877 gave the presidency to Hayes
by a majority of one So long as one
candidate has a substantial majority
in the college the weaknesses .of. the
system are not likely tg lead to gr&ve
Complications. In a strange way .the
vote-of the state college records the
will of the majorltj' of the'voters in
the state, and, in spite, of defects that
might jSrove serious, public opinion' ap
pears to sustain the electoral, college
as-the best metbod for choosing, the,
chief executive of the nation.
Farmers and the Land.
It has been announced by the con
servation commission ftiat^ hardly a
meeting of farmers' organizations thiB
season failed to "pass resolutions inr
dorsing the work cut out for the Lan^
Section of the commission-. A resolu
tion which passed the farmers' na
tional congress' favoring the move
ment for better, conservation^- of the
natural Resources of the Country, "es
pecially the conserving of the soil,"
cited as typical of many others.
"Stop' wantoi- Waste" is the watchr
word of the workers in the soil, who
constitute about one-third of the ac
tive forces' of the country. It is said
that the future problem of the" nation
is the bread supply. No one knows so
well as the man with the hoe how
hard it 16 to wring bread from the,
soil, and knowing that he is first to
realize the full importance of saving
all the available soil fbr food produc
tion and tilling it with a minimum of
waste. «. ,c
