Graft Lower Down.

Writing in Golfers Weekly, William
Allen White answers the question
"What is the matter with America? %
by charging the evils of our public life
to low moral standards in the people.
He says:
The reason why the thing modernly
called graft is found in Americans is that
they have tie world old faults that rise
from clouded moral perceptions. Only 8
few men in this world steal and murder
and lie with malice prepense. Most OF
the stealing and numbering and lying are
lone by people who do not realize what
they are doing; they do not see the actual
thing that they are stealing; they do not
lave before them the actual body of their
victim; they do not perceive exactly how
they are lying, and so in the subcellar OF
the American political life the farmer
who works a few dcsultory hours on the
road in front of his farm and swears
that he has performed his obligation to
the state as Transcribed by law does not
see clearly that he is stealing money
from the state. has made or left unre-
moved some mans death trap and has
lied into the bargain.
The cynicism of some public men
when the virtue of the body polite is
extolled Is appalling. If Mr.. Whites
deductions are correct, there is excuse
for the politicians want of faith in
the peoples honesty. For this state OF
things MI. White would have American
children taught hat our government
and civilization are based upon the
law of brotherhood. that the law is
equally binding where unseen and I'm.

"BOWL AT IT."

A game that Is planne\ to 1ival the

will prove a great favorite with the la

ordinary bowling. The game promises
to become a favorite at resorts, hotels,
clubs and Y. NJ. C. A. buildings.
The game is played on an alley SINH

CAPITAL TIED UP IN WHEAT
Few Sales Are Made Owing to Lack
Of Cars to Transport Cereal
to Tidewater.

With the exception of a few sales,
probably aggregating not to exceed
5000 bushels, the local wheat mar
ket this week has been featureless.
Inability of the railroads to furnish
cars for shipping wheat already sold
has interfered somewhat with the To-
cal market and until there is a freer
movement of the cereal to tidewater
local dealers say they do not look for
an advance in price. The West Coast
Trade this week says:
There is little change in the situa-
ton, business being still interrupted
as a result of the late blockade. Buy
ers are not in a position to operate,
because of the fact that deliveries are
still slow and cannot be assured, while
a great deal of capital is tied up in
wheat that has previously been pur-
chased, n cannot be moved from the
interior.
There has been some relief to the

bushels were received at this port
during the week, but the railroads
are being called upon to furnish cars
for the relief of the fuel famine in the
interior, and some rolling stock that
would otherwise be available is being
diverted to other uses.
There is likewise a depressing fac
tor in the foreign and general market,
very little call being in evidence for
cargoes from abroad, while exporters
are employing their facilities in pro-
viding the stock already prchased for
the dispatch of spot tonnage.
Under normal conditions there
would have been a decided increase
in n volume, of business with the
opening of the current month, due to
the near approach of the turn of the
year, and the fact that holders are
then more disposed to release offer
ings, but the slump in the market has
disappointed their expectations to a
considerable extent and this in onnec-
ton with the interruption in transpor-
tation, has put the market very much
to the bad.

England and the West Indies.

Intervention in Cuba by the United
States is hailed by the London Spec
tator as the dawn of q new era fol-
this country. 1t says: THE raising OF
the American flag in Cuba signalizes
The birth of Ebe American empire. The
pansion has dawned." The Spectator
sees nothing in the new development

nifcant allusion to Canada's alleged
designs with respect to absorbing ia

We may console ourselves. however.
with the reflection that sentiment all
over the world is a force to be reckoned
with, and the British connection Is still
dear to the English in the West Indies.
We are sometimes apt to forget that
British sentiment Is not only alive. but q
very active force on the other side of the
Atlantic. Canada, which Is rising by
leaps and bounds into the position Of q
great nation, will be able more and more
to make her influence felt as regards re.
arrangements of existing relationships.
Already one may hear possibilities of
closer commercial union with the West
Indies mooted by Canadian politicians.
Should this idea develop with the growth
Of the Dominion and finally take con-
crete form we might still hope for a So
luton of the West Indian problem within
