Cmitc Sinking Fund "The orchardlst must take the ex cess above a dollar ier box In good years." declared Mr. Owln, "and create a sinking fund therewith to flnnnco himself in the poor years. Having received this warning, he shoulud not complain If bankruptcy overtakes him as a result of dlsslpat tlng his reserve In land and stock speculations, automobiles, fine resi dences nnd trips abroad. These things are all right when we can af ford them but the last thing we can afford Is to gamble with the capital rcqpired to operate our business. Just now tho grower Is suffering a severe headache, the result of a pro longed speculative debauch. The thing to do is to sober up and faco tho situation as other business men aro doing.

It Is neither wise nor til nceo'rdnnce with n ron.oiiahlo standard of social morality, If It W true that these boys were Induced to commit a felony by a police detective, and If such a course Istiventually approved by public opinion, It Is the beginning oof the ItusKlanlrlug of tho American police system. It will constitute a backward move toward the worst features of old-world tyrituulleul government. The( logical end of such a beginning Is an AMKItlCAN SIlUCltl'.M v There Is enough violence, anarchy and crime nlrendy, without having u city go Into the business of manufacturing It I The ex cuse that this course Is resorted to to prevent crime Is not, In my opinion, VALID. It has been amply proved, over and' over again that violence breeds violence. I believe that lawlessness and violence, when used by representatives of the public, are fully as dcmoralUIng as when used by nuarcblstHl Of course. It Is foolish to Infer that twentieth century America will ever allow a complete or eVn a seml-ltiisslaiiUIng of Its police.

On 077,982 boxes Its grand average was 97 V4 cents per box.

'Hand made anarchists! Uonrti hurlors sup Idled to order! Apply New York po- . llco force!" j Is this a Just summing up of Now . York's "anarchist case?" Are Frank Almrno nnd Carmine Combone victims of a tlevUlsh "Rus sian" police plot? Or did those two Italian youths actually scheme of tholr own free will to blow up New York's famous rathodral St. Patrick's and inau gurate a reign of terror which, ac cording to the police Imagination, would have made tho boinbsearred streets of Manhattan run rod with blood? There Isn't a radical, an anarchist, a reolutlonnry in the city who does-, n't nsrert tho "anarchist trial" Is a frame-up. There Isn't a police official who doesn't deny the charge snvagoly! The police spy. Amedeo Pollg nnnl, who mingled with the anar chists and claims he "got the goods on thorn," Iidb told nt the trial a story diametrically opposlto to that told by the two Italians nnd their witnesses. Tho court wa scrowdod whon ho first appcarod. Leading anarchists and revolutionaries being present, among them Charles T rosea, the I. W. W- leader, Louise Ilorger and Pletro Allogro, famous anarchists, who raised funds to back thoaccus- ed. At every appearance the spy has brcn hissed nnd made the object of hateful glares. On the stand he told how ho had Intsluunted himself Into tho New York anarchist circles, nnd how, dog ging tho stops of his now "friends' Carmine Carhnne and Frank Almr no, In? had henrd them talk of using bombs to attain their ends. Ho said he Joined in the -plot, which he claims they originated, to destroy St. Pat rick's cathedral, and that ho met Abarno there. He declared that Abar no lighted tho fuse of his bomb with a clgur, and concealed It under his coat when ho entered tho church. Put then Almrno, called for the de fense, had told a wholly different story. Ho declares that tho detective sought his company, continually din ned Incendiary doctrines into his cars ii ml finnllv hiiifccstcd Unit thfiv inakct some bombs with which to blow up shops and wealthy residences. !

Cnruone. tho other defendant, hnd previously asserted that he was fore e dby threats and blows to purchase the material for the bombs. "One block froip the church." Almrno continued, completing his story, "1 Bald 1 was not going In, and the police spy said, 'You hud better go.' I said 1 would go In and' walk right out again. I slcftcned nt the thought of sacrificing human lives. I sat down In n tew nnd Just rested, nnd walked back to Pollgunnl, and said there too many to bo sacrificed. While standing there I wns grabbed by tho detective. Pollgnani said, 'Why didn't ou light that bomb?' I didn't light it. If they nccttse me of that they tell LIF.S! Many witnesses bncked up the as sertions of tho two HOYS. Ten por sous tostifled that they had frequent ed the nnarchist circles, had often heard Pollgnani and his alleged vic tims talking, and that the spy was tho only ono who had over suggest ed violence.
