LIne SEATTLE STAR California to Taft—What do you think of our — initiative, ref recall . (including ) and woman ae ' Taft to California—tI think our treaty with Hon- duras is fine and “dollar diplomacy” simply a peach. (Derisive laughter from Sacramento to San Diego.) | Story About Pigs | A Jersey farmer took two pigs to market and received tredit for them at current prices, He asked the butcher to save him a couple of hams. When he called for them a week Jater and demanded the balance due him, he was presented ‘with a bill $2.85 in excess of the price he got for the pigs! It was a striking illustration of the wide difference be- tween what the producer gets and the consumer pays, because it happened in that case that the producer and consumer were represented by the same man—the farmer, The incident led to an investigation of the difference between farm and retail prices on a number of common articles, with this result: Potatoes—Farmer gets 35 cents; city man pays at retail Asparagus—Farmer 8; retail 40. Milk—Farmer 4; retail 8 to 10. Strawberries—Farmer 10; retail (hotel) $1.00. Eggs—Farmer 20 to 48 per dozen; restaurant 15 cents apiece, or $1.80 per dozen. Cabbages—Farmer 2; retail~ 10. Beef—Farmer $50 to $60 per steer; restaurant about $2,000 steer. Wheat—Farmer $1 per 60 pounds ; breakfast cereal $9 pgr @ pounds ; in form of bread, 800 to 2,000 per cent advance over farm price. And so it goes through the entire list. Now, this is very interesting. It shows that something is the matter with us beside tariff and trusts, though these have had their potent influence in making the era o! bigh ices. The other fundamental trouble is the waste inherent in our present methods of distribution. If this could be elim- fated, the farmer might get twice as“much, and live twice as well, while the consumer would pay only half as much, and thus be twice as well off himself The remedy will be found, because, in the humanity, it must be found, It will doubtless form of co-operation which shall bring producer and con-} gumer closer together, eliminate middlemen and discaid many meediess and expensive features of competition in distributing the products of farm, mil! and factory. It's a job for a statesman of somewhat larger caliber than the ordinary “run of shad,” don’t you think? name of be some “This is a state ilies we have the recall,” said) Governor West of Oregon to President Taft. Now, governor, was that real nice of you? | Lost Art of Love { Rev. George L. Parker of Salem, Mass., has managed to throw a new thought into the interminable discussion of di-| vorce. He contends that love is an art, largely a lost art; that! it can be taught like manual and liberal arts; that the place to teach it is the school and church. © says: “Love is capable of being reduced to scientific formulas, ike mathematics. Start to impress on the child the meaning of universal and brotherly love. Show him that, this being a social world, and co-operation being necessary, man must) love his fellow man. You get that from the Bible “Tell the child to study the qualities that make the per- fect human being, as it is evident God would have made him perfect. Set them down. Once he can detect them, let him take persons of the opposite sex and measure one against the other in love points, so to speak. “One that ranks very high by such a measurement of fove can be sure to be loved forever. A man who truly loved @ woman never was divorced. More and more people rush _ into matrimony without knowing whether they love each other or not.” The suggestion is, perhaps, worthy of consideration, es- ially by teachers and preachers. The part that relates to ose of mankind is promising, but that is the part that is not new, except as it is proposed to make it a matter of both secu- Jar and religious education. As to the part that has to do with the scientific selection ‘of lifemates, we fear it would break down in many instances. The young man who has learned to “score love points,” and who has just got it nicely figured out that a certain ungainly | girl of negative complexion has the highest rating, suddenly encounters, let us say, a vision of auburn hair, laughing brow eyes and piquant nose, and—good-by¢ “science”! That's the girl for him! And the worst of it is you could never convince either of them that love is a “lost art.” They would both regard it as the newest thing on earth, sparkling with the dew of Crea- tion’s morning! | South Australia, one of the states of the federation, gained! 1,278 new industries last year and increased its pay roll by over $11,000,000. * Well, what about it?
