The Rocky Mountain News advo-
Gates the death penalty for train rob-
bers.
This is about right, | suppose. Men
that cannot rob in the modern popu
lar style ought to be electrocuted.
Men who have not better discernment
than to rob rich companies ought to
suffer on the cross or gibbet.
If they would cease to rob the veal
thy and turn their attention to skin
ming the poor by means of purchased
laws, they would deserve well and our
legislatures would vote them subsidies
and their names would be on all church
rolls among the "respectables."
Hang or burn train robbers, but
sound the praises of those who steal
from the toiler!
That's our style these prosperous
times.

have number of letters from diff
ferent states in which the idea is favor
ably looked upon.
State Secretaries would have to
work for no pay at the present time.
1. State Secretaries would have a
compact territory, and be able to keep
in more instant touch with every
Local Union.
2. Such State Secretaries could re-
ceive personal communications from
Headquarters and emphasize such
communication to every L. U. in his
state, and every l.. U. could report to
him in all matters of benefit to the B.
c. c. He could report the state work,
SO that we should have an epitome of
work done by each state in our paper
for some states would report one
month and some another, so an inte-
rest would be created, that is DORM
ant now.
3. 1t would make it betterfor Head
quarters to have some official Head
for every state.
4. We need better organization than
we have now and this would give it.
5. Finances could be continued as
now. Something must be done to in
crease interest in the B. c. G. and the
more people we can get interested in
the movement, the quicker and more
certain will be the success for every
colony in connection with our move
ment Live secretaries of states would
be able to do very much to keep the
members interested and to encourage
l.. L., and answer questions quickly
from enquirers in the state. To write
to Headquarters and wait for reply
from Ohio takes between to weeks,
that is too long. OF course, State Sc
cretaries would have to keep them
selves posted, and earnest ones would
do so. Now Reserves, please discuss
this question. Yours for the cause.

The retail liquor dealers of the city have come to the conclusion that 1t is a part of their duty as patriotic citizens to contribute something substantial to the support of the work of the Red Cross Society, and, after considerable specula- ton as to how to accomplish that end, they have devised plan which they are certain will yield golden returns. Several of the leading members of the trade have organized a committee for active work and judging from the class of men in- terested the movement should be success ful.
 They have received authorization from the Red Cross Society not only to act put to appoint agents of that organization to secure subscriptions for membership thereto. Official lists, numbered consec- utively have been printed, and it will be the business of the members of the committee to see that these lists are placed in the hands of every responsible saloon man in the city.
 There are nine men in the organization namely: H. B. Adler, chairman; Jesse E. Marks, vice-chairman; Thomas Fer guson, treasurer; J. E. Krumb, secretary also Rudie Fishbach, William F. Roder Joseph M. Parker, Edward Osborn and Charles Green.

AN EXPERT REVIEWS
 THE GRAIN MARKET.
BAD CROPS IN EUROPE AND
 GOOD REPORTS HERE.
The Argentine Surplus Is at Low Ebb, but Home Prices Are Not
 Likely to Improve Soon.

The past week has experienced more depression in wheat values A continua- ton of large crop reports throughout the United States set the bear machinery In working order. Foreigners were not slow in grasping the situation, and were less inclined to buy, even. though wants were urgent.
 The heavy imports into the United Kingdom and the Continent during the past thirty days have amounted to up- ward up 100 900 900 bushels, about double as compared with any like period. Not withstanding these heavy receipts Eng fish and French stocks are the lowest ever known. The condition of the grow ing wheat crop throughout England is very poor too much moisture causing se- rious damage The Corn Trade News, In it's last issue. asks where will English millerS find supplies unless they are will cans know these conditions and are daily hammering prices down for the benefit of English and French consumers.
 Accurate data as regards Russia's crop cannot be had, but from fairly reliable sources the condition is exceedingly poor. The very high prices prevailing of late having brought out all the available surplus wheat in that country, 1t Is but natural that their carry-oVer will be very small The Argentine shipments are fall- ing off rapidly, showing their surplus Is nearly exhausted. Indian shipments will no doubt show heavy falling off. The Government report issued Friday makes the wheat acreage of the United States 43 000 Upon this basis the yield should be $50 000, 900 bushels-the largest crop ever grown. Of course, the Government figures are based upon con- ditions prevailing June l. There yet re- mains much time in which damage may oVertake the crop. Winter wheat will have three weeks further to go before the crop will be secured, while spring wheat is barely out of the ground. Con- ditions in June are generally the most promising The fact that a new harvest is nearing makes the trade bearishly in- clined. Sentiment has it's sway, until ac- tual conditions are discounted too far, then the short interest finds itself bot tied up and a general change is the re- suit. Conditions on the Pacific Coast are not materially changed from last week. Washington and Oregon have complained of hot weather but it Is not likely any damage has thus far resulted. Should any serious damage overtake the crop of those States, then the conditions throughout California would become To- cal Millers' wants would guide market values.
 From present indications there Is very little hope for any improvement in wheat prices during the present month. July may see quite a general change. Many predict $1 9 for December wheat this month. Barley seems purely scalpers market There seems no hope Tor any advance in prices for the time being. Considerable spot Is arriving, which finds only a sluggish market to sell on. Un- fore any improvement may be looked Tor R E MUICAHY.
