why the Warehouse Bin should Pass.

For a number of years the tendency in
prices of grain has been downward and the
intermediate charges on grain between the
producer and the consumer IN the way OF
commissions have become OF more and more
importance TO the producer. The reduction
Of such charges to a minimum has become an
absolute necessity. The reduction has come
about naturally through active competition
by dealers in a half dozen G les which are
reaching out foe the grain business OF the
west The public warehouses have been
most imnortant factor in furnishing to the
farmers of Illinois broad and active mar
ket. This has been done without interior
ing with the business of the country grain
merchants. \ system has been developed
which has proved entirely satisfactory TO
the country at large, but apparently Is not
satisfactory to a little coteTie of dealers on
the Chicago Board OF Trade. This coteT:e
has attacked tho proprietors of public ele-
vators on every possible ground and has de-
MED them the right in common with other
grain merchants to buy and sell grain. The
public warehousemen for years have dealt
in grain and the competition stimulated by
their position in the trade has been most
beneficial to the interests OF the farmer.
While the custom of warehousemen deal
ing in grain has been established by Gus
tom the Illinois statutes are silent as to their
rights and powers. The bill now in the leg
stature clearly defines their rights and
to their acting N the capacity of grain mer-
chants and warchousenen at the same time.
The proposed legislation Is in the interests
Of the producers of grain throughout the
state and should be enacted. The opposl-
ton comes from the Chicago Board Of Trade
PEOPLE who have been persistently fighting
The elevator interests for years. They have
raised the cry of monopoly and are attempt
ing to discredit the warehouse bills. They
have made the most reckless assertions as
tn the prospective results under the pro-
posed law, while the fact is that the law does
not contemplate any new order OF things,
hut simply a continuation of the system
which is familiar to the state at large. The
people leading the attack on the bill are
singularly inconsistent. Their objection to
a warehouseman dealing in grain IS that he
is placed in a position TO discriminate be
tween himself and other owners OF grain
stored in his warehouse TO the prejudice
Of the other owners. This objection IS fully
met by the section which provides for SUI
pervision of the warehouse business by the
state The Chicago Board of Trade less
than two years ago made demand on the
warehousemen for Just such supervision as
is now contemplated, but which could not
be granted without a change in the state
laws.

QUEEN OF WINTER RESORTS.
Picturesque Lakewood, the HeaIthful
Resting Place in the Pine Belt of
New JcrSey

Lakewood, New Jersey, in the vast
pine belt of Ocean county, is the ac-
knowledged queen of all northern win
ter resorts. Located in a picturesque
region where elegant roads lead in va
riOus directions, the most delightful
drives are at the disposal of sojourn-
ers. Lake CarasaljO is a romantic
sheet of pure spring water that SHIN
mers at the very southern border of the
village. This winter it has afforded
excellent skating and has added great
ly to the popularity of the resort. The
temperature of Lakewood averages Is
degrees higher than is registered on
the coast, and the delicious air is dry,
inVigOrating and balmy, inasmuch as
it is strongly permeated with balsam
from the vast area of pines, in the
midst of which it is located. There are
hotels of the very highest class at
Lakewood and others well conducted
whose rates make it possible for the
person of modest income to share the
pleasures of a visit and get all the en-
joyment and benefit that the wealthy
obtain. There are also cottages that
take boarders.
Lakewood is on the Central Railroad
Of New Jersey, whose trains from all
points make direct connections. The
