Auto-Agriculture.
Automobile dealers report heavy
«ales in the west, particularly among
farmers. One eastern firm claims to
have sold one thousand machines in a
single week. Other manufacturers
make similar statements, giving small
er figures but agreeing that the auto
mobile i?» rapidly being adopted, not
only for pleasure but for business, by
the tillers of the soil. The automo
bile is said to be particularly popular
iu rural sections of Illinois, where a
great <ju:nber of machines are being
used for commercial purposes. Illi
nois farmers have learned by experi
ence that one auto will haul a dozen
■wagons stretched out behind it, with
a two-fold result: horses are left ta
work in the field and produce is trans
ported to town quicker ami cheaper.
An ewn more far-reaching result is
the demand for better roads. So long
«is the automobile was the plaything
of the city leisure class it was re
garded suspiciously by the farmer
■who refused to become enthused over
the city man's demands for good
country roads on which togo scorch
ing. Hut now that the automobile
has been adopted by the farmer he is
as anxious for passable highways as
the city man, and the two are working
together to bring the road millenium
to pass. Auto plows, rakes and har
vesters have been introduced into the
northwest and found practicable, but
the adoption of the motor car by the
farmer as a vehicle of transportation
for himself and his produce is more
recent.
Social Standards.
The Newport set and similar sets in
other cities of the United States, are
advertised so much that the public
forgets about other, more sedate and
respectable if less wealthy and bizarre
eets of families, infinitely better bred,
better educated and better entitled to
the status of gentility than the set
which passes for "society." There are
many groups of families in different
cities and sections of this country,
rightly remarks the San Francisco
Builetin, who hold themselves quite
above the generality of those exploit
ed in Town Topics, and who would
not invite to their homes some of the
men and women that are leading fig
ures at Newport and in Town Topics.
Good will come of the scandal if the
present, laughable plight of the "ex
clusives," who have made monkeys
and clowns of themselves before the
public for so many years, will render
motley unfashionable and drive "so
ciety" to simplicity and decency. One
does not nurse a lively hope of this
good result, however, for it is still
difficult to convert a sow's ear into a
silk purse.
Latter-Day "Nerves."
What a fine thing it would have
been for the human race had physi
cians never discovered anything about
the nervous system or invented such
terms as "nervous prostration" or
"nervous dyspepsia." It makes one
green with envy to think of those for
mer times when people knew little or
nothing about anatomy and when they
they called things by their right
names. When they were ill tempered
or jealous or melancholy they said
they were, instead of putting every
thing on the poor nerves, as we do
now. When physicians are called in
and find themselves at a loss to know
just what is the matter with the pa
tient —and even the very cleverest of
them sometimes do find themselves in
that humiliating position—they can
always fall back upon "nerves," with
the certainty that the paiient will
quite agree with them and also that
he will immediately justify the diag
nosis by having a nervous attack of
some sort.

NO CONTROL
Over Insurance or Other
State Corporations
BY GOVERNMENT.
(his Is the Conclusion Reached b>
the judiciary Committee of
the House.
______
Washington, I). C.- That there is
Ino constitutional authority for fed
eral control of insurance or other state
i corporations other than railroads, is
to be the conclusion reported to the
i house by the judiciary committee.
I The report has been drafted by Chair-
I man Jenkins, of the committee, and
| is now in the hands oT members of the
committee for their perusal. An un
official poll of the members of the
; committee indicates that with practlc
i ally no exceptions they concur in the
| correctness of this conclusion. The
! report of Mr. Jenkins may therefore
be taken as the basis of the answer
the committee is to make to the house
in compliance with the instructions
of that. body.
The report collates all of the im
portant court decisions on the ques
tions involved, treats each exhaus
tively and reduces the whole prob
lem to these two principles. "The su
preme court of the United States has
declared, and lias never been
shaken or weakened in maintaining,
first, that insurance is not. commerce,
and, second, that congress cannot im
pair the police powers of the states."
The advocates of the federal regu
lation concede, according to there-
I port, that insurance is not commerce.
"The supreme court,"the report says,
"has had great difficulty in marking
the boundary line in each case as il
has arisen between the power of the
state and the commerce clause of the
federal constitution.
"In each case, jealously protecting
each power as they came in conflict
and not until now, in a moment of ex
citement and intense interest, has it
ever been suggested that congress can
impair the police power of the states.'
The report sets forth section 8 ol
article 1 of the constitution as confer
ring the only power possessed by con
gress to regulate commerce. "The
question as to whether or not insur
ance is commerce has passed beyond
the realm of argument, because tin
supreme court of the United States
has saiii many times for a great num.
ber of years that insurance is not
j commerce."
MEAT PACKERS HAPPY.
They Are Granted Immunity fror»
Criminal Prosecution as Individu- !
als, but Indictments Against Cor
porations Are to Stand.

ment. While the individuals are to gc
free, the indictments found against

Indianapolis, Ind. —The joint scale j
I committees of the joint confer
ence of coal operators and miners of
the central competitive and of the
southwest districts were in session al
most all of Wednesday, but no agree
| ment was reached.
The committees of the central com- I
petitive field, composed of Illinois, In
diana, Ohio and western Pennsylvania,
! devoted its session to a discussion of
i the Illinois "shot firers' " law, which
| the operators of that state asserted
! unjustly discriminated against them,
j as it adds an expense of from 2 to 10
j cents on each ton of mined coal. The
| miners' representatives on the com
mittee refused to make any declara
| tion on the subject, and asked for a re- !
j cess until Thursday morning that they
might caucus.

BLUFFS ON THE TARIFF. |
American "Btand-PatteiV Ready to
"Show Their Hands" nt
Any Time.
"The now German tariff, which will
become effective March 1, ii seems, is
threatened to place the 'stand patters'
under the disagreeable necessity of
showing their hands," says I lie Chi
cago Daily News.
Yet the "stand-patters" are the only
ones who have laid their hands down 1
on the table, face up. The other fcl- j
lows are the mysterious, close-mouthed
men with poker faces who refuse to
divulge their wants or to explain what
they hold in their hands, replies the
Milwaukee Sentinel. Also, there are
few of them that will agree with their
fellows as to the programme to be fol-j
lowed.
For instance, the Daily News and j
others of its kind would revise pro- j
tection out of the tariff schedules alto- |
gcther, but they all insist that they j
would not do the job In a manner to j
injure American industries. They!
have a scheme hidden away somewhere I
by which they can do all this.
Then there are the Republican re
visers that have determined to revise j
the tariff in such a manner that all
the objections urged to protectionism
by the Democrats will be removed
without in any way endangering the
protection accorded to American la
bor and capital. These people do not
even pretend to know how it is to be
done —they merely want to do it.
Again, there are the "selling cheap
er abroad than at liome" hysterical pa
tients. They have read the Demo
cratic stories concerning this alleged
evil and have believed them. To the
end that the reported nefarious prac
tice may be stopped instantly they
would reduce or remove the import
duties from all articles manufactured
by firms or corporations that "dump"
their surplus products in foreign mar
kets. But they are not prepared to
prove their case, having accepted hear
say evidence as conclusive and de
manded a verdict without further in
vestigation.
Finally, there are the Republicans
who are afraid that if the tariff law is
not revised the Republican party will
he defeated in some coming campaign.
They wag their heads wisely and pre
tend that their sharp prophetic vision
which apprehends defeat is a warrant
for the party that has always stood
for protectionism to change its princi
ples and scuttle the ship that has
borne them safely through many a
storm.
Amid all this confusion the "stand
patters" are standing pal. They are
the men who know where they are
at and why they are there. All the
world, too, knows what the "stand
patters" stand for. In the circum
stances it would appear to be in bad
taste for the Daily News to talk
about making the "stand-patters" show
their hands.
SURPLUS IS REPUBLICAN.
Healthy Condition of the Treasury
Through the Protective
Principle.
For the fiscal year that began July 1
last the government receipts are now
ahead of expenditures. The surplus at
the end of last month was $1,102,003.
Yet $12,000,000 has been spent 011 pub
lic works this year, mainly on Panama
canal account. A payment of more
than $60,000,000 on that great enterprise
explains all but an inconsiderable part
of the deficit since May 1, 1904. It is u
good time, says the St. Louis Globe-
Democrat, to look back over the
financial record of the Republic
ans since they resumed control
of the treasury nine years ago,
a period including the Spanish war.
j The years of deficit during the nine
I years ending with June 30 last give a
total of $211,756,482. The years of sur
| plus in the same time have a total of
$302,830,087. The net surplus since the
j Republicans returned to power in 18U7
' is $91,073,605.
It is a great showing when it is re
membered that a war was fought with
Spain and one in the Philippines, that
a large payment was made to Spain for
the islands, and that $00,000,000 cash
j has thus far been drawn from the
j treasury for Panama expenditures.
During nearly all these years the Ding-
Icy tariff has been in operation. Its
practical wisdom has baen abundantly
proved in war and peace, in an era of
remarkable territorial and industrial
expansion, and of great public under
takings. It is easy to stand pat on such
results. Government expenses increase
i continually, but the Dingley tariff has
i kept up with the demands and is bring
ing in more leventie this year than the
treasury officials predicted. The war
; taxes were repealed so long ago that
I they are almost forgotten. Republican.-,
can point with honest pride to their
government balance sheet.

PEOPLE WITH PRESIDENT. !
Sure to Win in the Battle Against j
Oppressive Distinctions in
Commerce.
The railroad rate regulation bill,
which passed the house of representa
tives with only seven dissenting votes,
will also pass the senate. The irresist
ible momentum of this Itill, says the 1
Troy Times, comes from the fact that |
the people want it, and in forwarding it 1
the president has again shown himself !
to be the popular leader.
The rate regulation bill was made a j
non-partisan measure in the house of J
representatives, both the Republican
and Democratic parties giving substan-I
tially their entire strength to its sup- j
port. The non-partisan feature has not
been lost in the senate. The fact that
under the guidance of a Democrat it
comes out of a committee whose major- !
ity is Republican, does not mean so
much division in one party as union of
both in support of a measure which has
the earnest advocacy of the president
and the approbation of the people. The
discussion on the floor of the senate j
may elicit some amendments that will
improve the form of the bill, but in its ,
substance it will pass by an Invincible 1
majority.
The railroad companies themselves
are beginning to see that it is not wise
to oppose a bill which some of the rail
road presidents personally have de
clared to be just and in the public in
terest. It will not be a bad thing for
the corporations themselves to be pro
tected against discriminating practices
which muddle the whole business or j
transportation and are often unpleas
ant boomerangs.
It is undeniable that the people are
with President Roosevelt in this battle
against oppressive distinctions in com
mercial intercourse, and that the same
responsiveness to the popular will that
greeted the Hepburn bill in the house
will eventually adopt that measure in
the senate. President Roosevelt's way
of doing things is still victorious, be
cause liis purpose is to do only those
things that are right.
REDUCTION OF WAGES.
Revision of the Taiiff Would Fall
Most Heavily Upon the
Working Masses.
President Roosevelt's repudiation of
their ridiculous claims has dealt a death
blow to the hopes of the tariff re
visionists. It has left them without
| what they had intended to use as their
j principal argument, though it is to be
1 doubted if even the frown of the presi
; dent would be sufficient to change the
Dingley taiiff law, supported, as it is,
by the almost unanimous voice of the
American people, to whom it has
brought an era of unexampled prosper
ity in direct contrast to the hard times
suffered under the last Di noeratic
regime.
Tariff revision as urged to-day, says
the Portsmouth (N. H.) Chronicle, is
tariff reduction. The inevitable result
1 of tariff reduction is price reduction.
This, indeed, is its principal aim. Price
reduction is followed by home wage re
duction. What, then, is tariff revision
but wage reduction?
Luckily, not even inferential agree
| ment is accorded the tariff rippers by
! the president. Instead of this, they get
I an actual rebuff, which not even thn
! thickest-skinned of them all can fail to
. understand. They wince, and it is well
; for the country's interests that they are
I made to do so.
The Massachusetts "Republicans"
have been crediting the president with
holding tariff revision ideas, but we
think they will shut up now, if they have
the slightest regard for the truth.
This is President Roosevelt's view,
| expressed in his own words: "There
is more need of stability than of an
I attempt to attain ideal perfection in
the methods of raising revenue."
SOME POLITICAL POINTERS.

gains in Maine, but the Republicans al

! tions. —Washington Post.
irrGreat prosperity in the foreign
trade, enormous activity in the domes
tic trade, and all without smashing the
tariff! How can it be? Are the fates
conspiring against Democratic free
traders and Republican revisionists?
It would seem so.—American Econo
mist.
r. -'Cov. Folk's free trade speeches are
not received with enthusiasm by the
farmers of the west, who remember
that during the last Democratic admin
j i > t ration sheep were sold for 25 cents
! each, and horses were turned adrift in
1 the northwest because they had no
marketable value. —St. Louis Globe
i Democrat.
r The president Is deeply anxious
. for a law which will afford a remedy
for the evils of railroad discrimination
and abuses. 111 this he reflects a great
and earnest public sentiment, of which
he hits mtir'e himself the vigorous
champion. But what he wants is the
result, and he is not bound up with
any particular measure.—Pittsburg

MANY DEAD
In a West Virginia Mine
Explosion.
15 BODIES FOUND
Twenty-five Injured and From 25
to 75 Missing and Believed
to Be Dead.
Fairmont, W. Va. —An explosion
of gas in the mine of the Cen
tury Coal Co. at Century, a small
mining town 50 miles south of here on
the Philippi and Buckhannon branch
of the Baltimore & Ohio at \ o'clock j
Thursday afternoon entombed at least
150 miners, many of whom are believ
ed to be dead.
At C o'clock 15 men were taken from
the mine, five of whom were dead and
the rest terribly Injured.
A relief gang, headed by Snperln- !
tendent John Ward, entered the mine
at 6:30, but since that time nothing
can be heard from the accident, as the
telephone wires have been put out by
storms and no other means of com
munication are available.
The mine is owned by Shaw Broth
ers, of Baltimore, and is one of the
largest in northern West Virginia.
Two hundred and fifty men are em
! ployed, but many of these came out
' before the explosion took place.
Following the explosion relief trains
were run from Buckhannon and Phil
ippi, taking physicians to the scene,
i These have not returned, and until
they do little in detail will be learned
of the accident.
A telephone message from Century
at 10 o'clock Staled that six dead and
ten injured men had been taken from
j the mine at that time. Superintend- ;
1 ent Ward at that hour stated he did
I not believe there were over 20 more
j men dead in the mine. One hundred
\ and fifty of the 250 men employed
j have been found on the outside,
j having quit work before the explosion \
occurred.
The main heading has been cleared, '
but there are 14 sub-headings yet to j
jbe explored. It is feared that none
| of the men still in the mine are alive,
having been killed in the sub-head
j ings. The mine is not seriously dam
| aged by the explosion, except that the
j brattices have been blown out. The
| cause of the explosion is not known j
| at this time.
At 11 o'clock 27 men had beer 1
taken out of the Century mine. Nine j
are dead and the others horribly in j
jurod. One of the officials at. that :
hour stated that he believed ther j
were 12 men in the mine still and al j
dead.
A telephone message from Philippi
I early Friday morning says that the
; last report from Century places the j
j number of dead at 15, 25 injured and
i from 25 to 75 missing and believed to j
i he dead.
Congressional.
Washington.—The railroad rate bill '
occupied nearly all the time of the
senate on the 23d, Mr. Lodge and Mr.
Spooner speaking on the bill. Mr. j
Lodge spoke In advocacy of his j
amendment looking to the enlarge- J
| ment of the inter-state commerce j
commission, and Mr. Spooner on the
constitutional powers of the inferior j
courts, contending that those courts 1
| could not be destroyed nor their pow- |
I ers taken from them. In the house j
the statehood bill was taken from the j
speaker's table, placed in the hands i
of three selected conferees and a re
quest made of the senate for a con
frence on the disagreeing votes of the
two houses.
In Favor of Interference by State.
Chicago, 111. —A committee ap I
pointed in Chicago last February at \
a conference of governors, attorney j
generals and insurance commissioners |
with instructions to prepare for adop- j
tion by the states forms of laws for
the better regulation of life insurance j
companies, concluded deliberations {
Thursday and adjourned after declar j
ing itself in favor of interference by j
the state in the internal affairs of the
insurance company and in favor of a
standard policy.
Snowbound for Twelve Days.
Durango, Col. —After being snow,
bound for 12 days on the lofty
summit of Cumbres Pass, at the crest
of the San Juan range, 50 miles from
the nearest town, a Denver & Ric
Grande train containing 50 passengers
arrived in Alamosa Thursday. The
train left Durango on March 10 and
became stalled that ninht. Snow con
tinued falling day after day until it lay
on the level higher than the smoke
stack of the locomotive.

Washington, D. C. —Speaker Can
