Is It Wheat Gambling?

Wheat has lately been going up
in price by jumps.
In November last it sold in the
Chicago market at 76 cents a
hnshel. Now it is quoted at Win
ntpeg, the center of the Canadian
wheat fields. said TO be the most
extensive and fruitful in the world,
1t lO6 l-2 to 1O7 cents.
This great rise is doubtless
largely due to exaggerated values
put ON this leading breadstuff by
the possibility of general Euro
pean war. But after all. how much
of the rise in price is due to ma
nipulation?
Here Is rise in price Of Az per
cont on every morsel of waeat
bread the people Of this and other
countries eat and corresponding
increase in the cost of all other
bread. To add even one cent a
day to the food cost OF every in
dividual in the Uunited States will
infiict upon the people tremen-
dous tax.
Allowing that there are sO,OOO,-
OOO people in the United States,
and supposing that each one must
eat At an additional cost of one
cent a day. this raises up an
amount Of $SOO.OOO daily. or $5,-
600. 900 a week. or $24 600, 900 a
month. And yet in all probability
the additional cost of bread is
greater than this.
The northern papers have rails
ed great hullabalOO because the
price of cotton has been raised up
on them, and they have poured
out unstinted vituperatiOn upon
the Southern people for it all be-
cause cotton is Southern pro-
duct, and Southern farmers made
money by the rise in their staple
crop.
But wheat is a Northern pro-
duct. and Northern farmers are
making money ont ofthe enhanced
prices. That is as it should be,
and nobody is denouncing the
Northern dealers or bowling about
the wheat fiends who are gam bling
in the peoples bread Mt the cost
o. every bread eater in this coun-
try, and virtually in the world.
since the prices of wheat are made |
in the United States.
There il good reason to believe
that the price of cotton has ad-
vanced because of the increased
demand for it. But how abou,
wheat? Is there an honest increase
in the demand? If the perple who
control the wheat market in ths
interest OF Northern grain farmers
are honest, can't some honesty also
be credited to the Southern cotton
farmers? The rule should work
both ways.-New Orleans Times

Don't Walt Till They Die.

Well it is to eulogiZe the deaC
for their virtues, and pass ovel
their weaknesses. When all thu
world is for the moment awed into
something like soberness by the
death of such great man as Sen.
ator Hanna, then is the time to en-
force the moral lessons which are
to be found i'm the career of every
snch man. No man can rise as Mr.
Hanna did without having strong
virtues which the world might
profitably emulate.
When someone complains that
Cicero had made mistakes, answer
was made that no one who did any
thing could avoid making mis-
takes. The best way is to deal
gently with errors, referring to
them only as warnings, and profit
all we can by the positive good
that is in the world.

Filling Guild Lake.

Portland, Oct, 11.-Guild's lake is be-
ing filled with water with view to
determining how great a depth may
be obtained. Two centrifugal pumps,
having combined capacity Of "a
900, 900 gallons a day were put into
commission yesterday morning on a
scow in the Willamette. These pumps
win be used until depth of four feet
has been obtained.
This test is necessary in order to
decide what work must be done in
getting the lake into shape for naviga-
ton. Canoe connections are to be es-
tablished during the fair between the
main land and the peninsula, where the
government exhibit is to be located, 1t
is estimated that four feet OF water
win be required for this purpose. The
ordinary depth of the water is about
two feet.

MET ON THE CROSSING.
Four Persons Killed, One Fatally and
23 Seriously Injured.

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-Four people were
killed, another fatally hurt, and %
severely injured in a collision late
Wednesday afternoon between an ex-
press train on the Chicago Great West
ern railroad and train of three troll.
ley cars bound for the Hawthorne race
track.
The accident occurred at the cross
ing OF 48th avenue, and the Chicago
Great, Western tracks. The train was
coming into the city and, according
to some witnesses of the accident, was
running at high rate of speed. 9th
ers and the train crew declare that it
was going over 20 miles an hour. The
trolley train, which was made up of
motor car and two trailers, approach
ed the crossing at a rapid rate just
as the train came around a sharp
curve to the west of the crossing. Mo-
torman Ryan put on the brakes with
all his strength in the effort to stop
his car, but the brakes refused to work
and with undiminished speed the mo-
tor car ran upon the tracks at the
time the locomotive came up. The
car struck the train between the en-
gine and tender. The motor car was
torn to splinters, the car Immediately
behind it was knocked over, smashed
nearly to pieces and dragged along the
track for 100 feet. The third car was
not dragged from the tracks, and but
for the fact that the couplings be-
tween it and the second trailer broke
the list of injured would probably be
much greater, as all of the cars were
filled with passengers. Motorman Ry-
an remained at his post to the last,
and was fatally hurt, his skull being
fractured.
All of the persons who were killed
occupied the seats in the front of the
first car on the west side. One wom-
an, who is as yet unidentified at the
morgue, had just taken seat offered
her by William Tennis, of 1913 North
Albany avenue, when the crash came.
She was rolled. under the motor car
and horribly mangled. Tennis, after
giving up his seat, went to the rear
of the car, and escaped with slight in
jurieS.
All the members of the Chicago
Great Western train crew and the con-
ductors of the trolley cars were placed
under arrest pending the inquiry of
the coroner, which will be made
