RPytN RISES TO EXPLAIN.

Al last the Boy Thinker from Nebraska has
emerged from long and 10 the public most
gratifying retirement with Il laborcd cxpana-
ton of how il has happened that wheat and sill
yer have parted company. II Is the result, he
wisely declares. of the operation of the law Of
supply and demand. Wheat IS higher than it
was a year ago because. with an equal demand
the supply has been largely reduced by the
failure Of the crop In nearly every quarter oil
the globe except the United States. Silver IS
lower because the supply has continued 10 in
crease and the demand 10 diminish. For this
startling information an eagerly awaiting pubic
will doubtless lee grateful. All that Mr.. Bryan
need do now To cnshrinc himself finally ana Tor
ever in the affections OF the American people
Will be- to discover and promulgatc the rule That
two and two make four When he has achieved
this dizzy height OF intellectual effort he may
we'll afford 10 rest on his lanrelS rs fugrown
thinker.
In the mean time il may do no harm 10 record
the fact that Mr.. Bryan still believes III cheap
money "a a panacra for unnamed woes from
which the country cannot. he thinks, he wrcsted

who could not get n living price for his wheat.
Now II bleeds. for the consumer who has 10 pay
the increased price 10 the farmer Then the
low price of wheat was an evil Now the high
price Is the cause Of hardship Then the remedy
was general uplifting of the level OF prices by

uplifting of the level Of prices by the same
process.
II may be possible that his logic is salts

prosperity of the farmer and the restored conf
dence Of the merchant and manufacturer the
key to the present business revival. Ii mas been

THE FRENCH BREAD FURRY.

Tho increased cost OF bread in France gave
opportunity. which was assiduously improved
for n political agitation a fortnight ago. Out
&c now little heard Of Perhaps it Is forgotten
in the general JOY over the Russian aiiiahce'
pcrhaps the people realize that II Is not so pa1'
after all Perhaps the Socialist agi'at"rs nave
found that II is not promising issue on when
to attompt a revolution. What Is certain ~
thot the condition Of affairs has been greatly
exapperatcd Prices have gone up out not
Unfortunately high All the talk about lam
inc urices" il nonsense. The highest prices
reached are 81 ccntmcS, or IL cents, TOT hrS'-

normol price At most il is only % per cent.

cent n pound In the price OF bread viii cause
neither famine nor revolution.
The demand for the Government 10 lessen or
even totally abolish the tariff on wheat mas
been treated by NJ. Meline according 10 us
worth No such action will be taken nor needs
70 he taken. That is partly because present
nrices are not high enough TO warrant II, ana
nartly because the rise is evidently only tenn
norarv II will not last until next year, and
nerbaps not until next month. As soon as sup
plies arrive In quantity from America ana
Australia there will be n reaction and prices
will probably resume their normal level. That
IS the reply the Government has made TO the
Socialist demand, and il Is a sound one. Iarlif
laws cannot be revised weekly To meet the
fluctuations Of the markets. For few weeks
the state of the wheat market Will De some
what burtlensome to the poor OF the cities. Inc
average family will have TO spend franc or
81 franc and a half more each week for preid.
On the other hand. a change Of the law would
cause loss TO the millions Of small farmers VINO
form the backbone of the nation. The aver
age small farmer grows enough wheat Tor
his family use and also 10 yield him perhaps
500 each year in cash. That small sum is SUI
6cient TO give him a start in the next year
operations, and so to keep the wheels OF agri-
cultural industry moving. No greater misfort-
me could bafall France than 70 make the wheat
harvest Improbable. II would PROSTATE Inc
whole farming industry and write ruin upon
the fields OF every commune.
There is still another reason for not changing
the thrift. and that is that such action would
In all probability give no relief. 1t would not
bring down the price Of bread. That Is De-

Shortly before midnight April 9 last
the vault in the Office of Secretary Butter
field of the Agricultural College at Lam
sing was blown open and $500 In col
lege and postoffice funds was stolen. "A
suspicious feature of the robbery was that
there was nothing to indicate that the
vault had been drilled, fact which con-
vinced the detectives the work was done
by persons who knew the combination OF
the vault, and that the money was taken
before the explosion took place, dynamite
being used by the robbers for the pur-
pose of covering their tracks.
Several weeks of patient work on the
part of Postoffice Inspector Larmour and
Deputy United States Marshal Abels
failed to unravel the mystery, and the in
vestigation was about to be abandoned
when the purchase of diamond ring,
gold watch and a bicycle by Clinton ID.
Butterheld, a member of the graduating
class and the son of the secretary, caused
the detectives to turn their attention to
him.
After ascertaining where he had ex-
pended more than $400 since the robbery,
the detectives put him through severe
examination, which yielded sufficient in
formation to warrant them in arresting
@. Devere Miller, q sophomore, son or
DR.. Carroll T.. Miller Of Cadillac. When
the boys were brought together Miller
made clean breast of the matter and
Butterfield indorsed his story.
The two boys had committed the rob-
berry, Butterfield unlocking the vault, be-
ing familiar with the combination and
having q key to the inside door, They
pried open the drawers with jimmy and
secured the money. This done, Butter
field left the remainder of the job to Mil
Ter, who had purchased a stick of dyna-
mite and n fuse in Grand Rapids on his
return from his spring vacation.
Miller placed the dynamite on the cross
bar Of the inner door and ran the fuse out
into the Office door, He then closed and
locked the door and applied the match. He
left the building by a window because the
door squeaked, and was in bed when the
fire reached the dynamite. The explosion
blew the door off and wrecked the office
badly.
The young men have been bound over
to the fall term of the United States Dis
trict Court, each giving bail in the sum of
$500. Butterfield, who had spent the
most money, returned SiOO 10 tne oihCerS
while Miller gave up $500. The remain
der will be made good by their fathers.
Both boys come from rs good families as
there arc in the State, their fathers being
prominent and widely known. Their
downfall is due to desire to fly high.
Butter6eld was so hampered by the
secret he was keeping that he was unable
to pass his final examinations and failed
to graduate. He acted as college corre-
spondent for several newspapers in Ian
sing and Detroit, and in this capacity
wrote several versions of the crime at the
time of its commission and subsequent ac-
counts Of the efforts that were being made
to find the perpetrators. He is 10 years
old and Miller 20.
