Shackleton’s exploring trip is that nobody criticises his conduct or doubts his statements. Two more battles will exhaust the powder and shot in Nicaragua. After which the combatants will have to assail each other with beets and ba nanas. Weston will try again to walk across the continent in 100 days. He missed it last year by five days. It seems a trifle, but Weston will con cede nothing to Father Time or Dr. Osier. Witnin another year it is possible that the scientists will be able to tell what wages are paid to workmen on the Martian canals, the kind of ma chinery they use, and whether or not they have any insurgents up there. According to eastern market reports the cranberry crop is only one that has not been cornered or manipulated in the interest of high prices. There Is relief in sight for those who can be satisfied with cran berries. The silly letters writen by rich New York woers show that no woman is justified in demanding damages for a breach of promise made by one of the parvenus. On the contrary, she ought to be thankful that she es caped. A New York preacher has called much wrath upon his head from amon the craft by declaration that it is the preacher who is responsible for most of the divorce scandal about which the pulpit is so often deeply distressed. We agree with the bold New York brother. If the ministers looked more uron the fitness of, couples presenting themselves with licenses to wed than upon the fee in prospect, and acted accordingly, us ing such judgment as God may have endowed them with, the divorce dockets would shrink rapidly. Contact has long been in the cop-| per eye as a promising camp as soon as provided with railroad facilities. The latter will be furnished this year by the new road building south from Twin Palls, a’so it is aanong the strong possibilities that Contact will be shipping ores into this district be fore the end of the year for treat ment. We are the nearest smelting center to this new one as well as many more that come to the front very rapidly as soon as given rail. The Evening Excuse would have us believe that the University Club is dependent for Its existence upon its bar receipts; either that or that it is an association of tipplers who would not associate unless they could tipple. Either way. and we disbelieve both, there is still utterly lacking any excuse for the attack of the Ex cuse upon District Attorney Reeves, who is proceeding strictly under the law as he interprets it, and it is pretty plain in its provision that all who sell liquor shall pay license, if the district attorney did not do his duty, whether the public is or is not willing to wink at dereliction, at the building up of law for one and the taking of it down for another, there would be cause for complaint. The counseling of anything else than one law for all is vicious at all times and in this particular instance doubly so by reason of the fact that the attacks of the Excuse are the outgrowth of personal envy and hatred of Reeves and not of love for the University Club. _ TO INVESTIOA11- HlOH PRICES. In starting out to inquire into the reasons for the high prices of food products, the department of agricul ture Is engaging in a good work. Sec retary Wilson says the department has agents in every county through out the country, and they have been directed to learn the cost of produc tion of the principal food articles, and the prices which the farmers re ceive for them, and when the figures are obtained they will be promptly published. “We intend to bring out the truth,” he declares, "regardless of whom it hurts or benefits. I am convinced that the public Is compell ed to pay a great deal more for every thing it eats than it should.” The high cost of living is one of the serious features of the situation throughout the country. Not only are nearly ail articles of food higher than ever before, but clothing and al most every other necessity has reach ed figures never touched in the past. Possibly Secretary Wilson's investiga tors may be a me to get at the reason j for the high prices for the things! which we eat and may thus give a chance to bring them down to the t level of a few years ago. if It should , turn out that somebody is getting inordinate profits at present. This is a matter in which nine-tenths of! the 90,000,000 people of thfe country j have a large interest. That the tariff is not responsible , for the high prices is plain. The ad vance affects the things that are not on the customs schedules as well as those which are upon them. More over, the advance is world wide. Nor I can the trusts, in all cases, be held accountable. In some instances, how ever, they are probably to blame. Sec retary Wilson attributes the advance in meat prices to the beef trust, and he may be correct. Many of the cat tle raisers have said that they sell their products for only a trifling ad vance over a few years ago. If those persons are right who say that the supply of farm products is not keep ing up with the demand, one cause for the high prices is revealed. Per haps, too, the increase in the gold production in recent years may ac count for some of the advance. The results of the investigation by the department of agriculture will be awaited with interest by the country.

C., Jan. 11.— Governor Ansel, of South Carolina, is hilled to make a speech at the con ference of governors to be held in Washington this month. If he de livers a speech like the one he made to the convicts iu the Columbia pen itentiary a few weeks ago he will make a tremendous hit. On that occasion the governor had his wires crossed in the beginning and started something like this: My friends; 1 am glad to be with you today and I am glad to see you here.” WISE AND OTHERWISE.

Cheap trees, grown by unskilled nurserymen, or will you plant Stark Treea, the beat trees that modern nursery science can produce and insure yourself a highly productive and profitable orchard? “Stark Trees are the Best Trees Grown” Is lho nanimous opinion ol orchardists in all parts of the country—the thousands of letters in our files prove it.
