CORN GROWING CONTESTS. With the national, state-fair and newspaper corn tests there are per- haps 15,000 or 20,000 American youth engaged in acre corn contests in the west and south. We are sorry to say The Bulletin could not excite interest enough by a $100 prize for the best acre of corn grown in the two eastern counties of this state to get a sufficient number of competitors to enter upon it; but here is a western contemporary, the Des Moines Capital, which put up $516 n cash prizes, makes a success of its orn growing contest, of which it says: “Although there are 2,000 boys work- ng hard for the 5 in cash which The Capital is going to distribute to the winners, not a single one has with- jrawn. This can be construed only in ne way—each boy believes he will win. It is predicted that the winner his year will be forced to produce at least 150 bushels of corn on his acre. This will be going some, but it is not too much to expect. Iowa is making a wonderful crop shewing this year, and The Capital will be surprised if the total grown on its prize acre does not come nearer the 200-bushel mark than the figures mentioned above. And The Bulletin would call the at- tention of the farmers to the fact that and in the past ten years has ad- vanced in value on the average n the state of Towa $57.84 per acre, A farmer thers has just re- fusad $225 an acre for land he paid $100 for seven years ago. What ralses land value? The amount per acrs the and can be made to make satisfactory returns upon. It 1s low average crops that make land cheap in New Ing- and The Bulletin had nothing to gain by such & contest except the honor of having promoted a competition which would have added to the agricultural fame of this section and made the land of the winners more valuable than aver. What s needed to bring New Eng- and land values up is a little healthy ympetition in growing crops. More of the alfalfa spirit than of the old timothy. WILLING TO WIN ON TECHNICAL- ITIES. Colonel Roosevelt is illustrating the truth of the slogan: “The king can do no wrong!” A theft is mot a theft when it is done in his name; a lie is not a lie when uttered for his advance- ment; a villain is not a villiain if his illainy is promotive of bull moose in- terests. The case of Stubbs against Curtis n Kansas well illustrates this—Curtis, the most popular senator Kansas ever had, beat Stubbs in the recent election by 10,000 plurality, but Stubbs gets a majority of the legislative districts and under the new primary law his name goes upon the ticket and the 0,000 plurality simply was a vote that Senator Curtis should stay at home. Great interest has been excited in the sitwation and everyone was anx- ious to know if good Colonel Roose- velt wowld condemn or apprcve, He oply displays a shrewd politiclan’s asiveness when he says: “I haven't paid any attention to the mepular vote. We haven't even thought of totaling up any majorities, This was but a contest for legislative dis- tricte. I made no fight in populous eastern counties for votes, for I felt that 1 could not carry the districts.” If this had been Curtis winning in this way instead of Btubbs, the Col- onel would doubtless have said he was “a thief, a liar and a villiain,” as. he has sald of political bosses less offen- sive, Those who think righteousness is the way of Roosevelt must be blind if they cannot see their mistake. THE PANAMA TOLL BILL, Tt is probable that President Taft “ill refuse to affix his signature to (he Panama toll bill should it pass ‘ongress, since there is pending be- tween this country and Great Britain % question as to the correct interpre- tatlon of the treaty between the two countries The Hay-Pauncefote treaty was nec- essary to make secure our right to build this canal, and the pledges made therein are what made Great Britain abandon prior claims to the territory America must have in order to carry forward this inter-ocean scheme. There is no question but Secretary John Hay made honest promises and there can be no doubt that it is this country’s duty to respect and honor them. There is a senseless display of jingo- ism over this matter—a disposition to refuse to arbitrate a matter which certainly affects the honesty and hon- or of the republic. This is an attitude which must cause honorable men to blush, Here is a question well put: “For er a decade we have led the nations 1 their search for peace and loftier cals of international dealings. Shall we now resign our leadership, break r word, place greed before honor, and finally hang back in fear from the halls of peace we helped to build?” Jack Rose didn't have the nerve or the courage to play his part with Becker. Things went too far for him. Happy thought for today: The per- ®on who is smart hag to cal! no one's aitention to the facy, 1S ENTERPRISE. ‘What is enterprise The. Standard Dictionary defines en- terprise thus: “To perform—to un- dertake.” So, when a new firm of undertakers in New York sent in a petition for the bodies of the seven electrocuted mur- derers at Sing Sing, signed by 17,000 citizens, obtained five of the bodied and placed them on exhibition with plates upon their knees to receive con- tributions and advertised to have a funeral on Saturday with five hearses drawn by four horses each, and led by a brass band, it was enterprise under the strictest definition of the word— they undertake to boom private busi- ness by an unprecedented piece of sen- sationalism. As an exhibit of what can be done in free America with the criminal dead this is a disgrace to New York and a world-wide shame to the republic. The Bulletin does not wonder that readers of this abroad think we are a nation of seml-savages. It is questionable if this could have been done in any other state in the unfon. The four of these five dead men who have no relatives should have been privately buried by the state and the other should have been deliv- ered to relatives if they desired to in- ter it. To permit such a speculative play with the dead as this is certainly far below our standard of civilization. CANADA MUST SAVE HER COM- MERCE. Canada recogniges the value of the Panama canal to it as a mea of cheap transit. The Ottawa Citizen, referring to the opening of the canal says: “The opening of the Panama canal is an event of the greatest importance to the Dominion and to the western provinces in particular. The Grand Trunk has declared that with the opening of the canal the great grain country served by this road will ship its wheat via Panama, and the Grand Trunk serves a territory as great .as the Canadian Pacific or the Canadian Northern. “In 1910 the export of grain from Montreal reached twenty mfillions of bushels. In a decade where will the grain outlet be—at Montreal or on the Pacific coast? It is well to remember that one cent buys in water routes ten times the distance the same money buys in rail routes. And the big railways can ship grain to the Pacific coast cheap, in the knowledge that from this point on the journey is all by water.” The Canadians do not like this men- ace to their trade. The Citizens says further: “Looked at from every viewpoint, the conclusion 1is irresistible that eventually the Panama canal will mean the complete abandonment of grain shipping to the Atlantic coast. The prospect is scarcely a pleasing one to Montreal, in particular, but for- tunately there {8 a remedy and against its development the Panama menace is helpless. The Georgian bay water- way now hecomes a national necessity. It is no longer a sectional matter, but commerce from the furthest limits of Ontario to the seaboard must insist upon its construction if the great western trade is to be retained, In- stead of being allowed to develop the southern half of the \meru.qn conti- nent and the Pacific EDITORIAL NOTES. Darrow has no love for detectives. It takes a rogue to catch a rogue, sure! The present democratic congress is doing mothing to help Wilson's chances. Prices go up like an aeroplane but for slowness they beat a parachute coming down. Candidate Wilson is a sound sieeper, which indicates that he has an ap- preving conscience. New York had a murder a day in July. With its police in partnership with criminals the wonder is its rec- ord is not worse, Colonel Roosevelt's black and tan and lily-white policies toward the ne- groes have won for him the sobriquet “a political lizard.” If political leaders had not been act- ing like lunatics for several years, the people would not be tumbling away from them in bunches now. Providence is expecting a great crush to receive Roosevelt tomorrow night and it is alleged he will have to repeat his speech there. The crowds that will turn out to hear Roosevelt may disappoint him, as campaign crowds have repeatedly disappointed Colonel Bryan. It the republican panty is as dead as the bull moosers say it is, there are not enough healthy members left to hold a respectable funeral. The democratic congress is holding up the pension appropriations, creat- ing the worst crisis in the pension bu- reau ever known in its history, The Jim Crow car in the south looks endorsible to Colonel Roosevelt, Ht will not invite Booker T. Washington to ding with him during the campaign. Harriman furnished $240,000 to Roosevelt's campaign fund in 1904; and in 1908 Taft refused $20,000 from duPont, who “is now supporting Roosevelt. The members of the Connecticut Peace society do not take kindly to the abandonment of the Mystic grove. Some of them are waving their arms and shouting for war, ‘When it comes to fixing the electoral nominees of the party he designates as thieves and grafters, the Colonel has shown he has a long arm and no conscience to speak of. The portrait of Theodore Roosevelt hangs with two others in the office of the White house. Taft asn't turned its face to the wall as certain of our citizens ‘once did with ‘Washington’s. il Y, Every republican in Connecticut ad- mired Roosevelt as president, and so did many of the democrats; but as a political buccaneer he is looked upom as a wonder of energy but not as a popular favorite. Nothing Unusual. A lawyer in the Blease case says “whisky affects me peculiarly. It makes me think I'm the biggest man in the world and can whip anybody.” Anything peculiar in that effect?— Philadelphia Inquirer. Gov. Wilson has an original cam- pelgn plan. A new broom of course. ‘Mrs, Colller’s brother, visiting over st THE BULLETIN'S SHORT, STORY. CYNTHIA’S EXTRA SESSION e Bob Lawrence was disturbed. He struck savagely with his cane at the tender flowers along the country road. He had been promised a degree of happiness here and he had failed as usual to find it. “Say, mister,” said a small voice, “I wish you wouldn't knock the heads off these flowers. I want about a bushel of daisies to decorate our school room tomorrow. Miss Cynthia’s invited the ba-rd to hear us speak.” Cynthia?" questioned Bob wonder- ingly. “Cynthia who?” “She's just Miss C)m‘.hm, that's all,” answered Jimmy Green. “She's about the best looker we ever had in this county, Pa said so, and pa knows.” ‘Does she teach school?” “You bet she does and we're learning too, 'cause we love her so we just study our heads off to see her smile,” sald Jimmy boyishly. “You must be of that love and asked her to marry “No,” she had answered, forcing back his arms, is not possible. We belong to different worlds.” “What difference would that make, if it were true?” he had demanded. “What 0o you mean by anseyent W Du have money,” she had told him. “I belong to the broken down aristocracy of the south. I work for my llving. Aunt Lydia took me for this trip because I was her brother's child and she was sorry for my pov- erty.” He remembered with bitter- ness how he hed begged, stormed and argued, but all to no purpose, for Cyn- thia had remained deaf to his en- treaties, protesting that his people would be disapointed. ‘When they landed, although he had tried to find out where she lived, and followed her, she evaded him.

Pa's right about that. Why, her face is just the color of the apple blossoms over in your sister's orchard.” Jimmy ponder- ed for a second. “Seems like I ought to answer you civil, you being a stranger here.

He was thinking—thinking in- tently of the only girl who had ever stirred any emotion in his heart. She, too, was called Cynthia, and her cheeks were like the apple blossoms in his sisters’ orchard. He had met her almost'a yvear before, a few hours out from Liverbool. She had been touring the continent with a very wealthy aunt. The girl's beauty had attracted him at once, and later he: superb health had been added to her list of other charms. She was the only woman on board, so the steward had told him, who did not miss a meal. The last night out thera had been a moon. Lawrence recalled how ea- gerly he had waited for her on deck while she went for a wrap after din- ner. They had stood together watch- ing the moonlight on the phospores- cent waves and listening to the soft strains of an Hungarian waltz, His love for her, none the less intense be- cause of its short duration, had st red him mightily, and he had spoken Don't be afraid of your generous emotions.
