When great calamities like the Bal
imore fire, the Galveston tidal wave
and the destruction of San Francisco
sweep away palaces of wealth and the
victims go to work to restore them
and even to build better, we hear of
the noble pioneer spirit Of the Ameri-
can people. 1t is an honor to belong to
the race with these heroic citizens and
to dwell In the land where such things
are not phenomenal, but come as q
matter of course. But there are unher-
aided calamitieS all Over this broad
country every day that point the same
moral.
Forest fires. tornadoes, cloud bursts
and rain floods, to say nothing Of innu-
merable fires which wipe out towns
and villages. are constantly driving
communities from their homes, leaving
wrecks behind and bringing poverty
to thousands who have only their bare
have lost. Capital is always ready to
rebuild a city on an established COM
mercial site. But the farmer has only
his muscle to fall back on; the farm
village must begin With shanties and
struggle along for years until it reach
eS the painted cottage and brick store
stage again. Here is where the Amer
lean spirit is seen at its finest, the spir-
it, the indomitable pluck that nerved
the early pioneers when they pushed
from the coast through the wilderness
barrier over the plains and across the
Rockies. Their case is not so dramatic
as when Il city is RACED in q night.
Their Sufferings are unseen, almost IN
noted. by the world. and they struggle
to their feet again uncheered except by
their own courageous hopes.

A FAVORABLE CROP OUTLOOK.

Clear skies and fresh breezes over the
wheat fields of the Northwest have
taken a reef in the bullishness (which
t.he prolonged wet spell occasioned.
The prevalence of red rust, which
was to be expected owing to the exces-
sive moisture, laid the foundation for
considerable apprehension with the
sooming of s%easonable temperatures as
so the possibility of another damaging
rust visitation. Happily the breezes
which attended the warmer weather
Uere the one tonic which saved the
country from a scare if not actual de-
aerioration of the spring wheat crop.
Under the present climatic conditions
the outlook for the crop could not be
more promising. The last few days
have been excellent for growing, hold
ing out the possibility Of putting the
plants forward, the cold and wet wealth
arthrough May and the greater part Of
June tending to retard the development
Of the crop.
The note of apprehension over the
wheat prospects has subsidized, the under.
herfe of the market keyed up to a ner,
rous pitch under the uncertainty over
hanging the crop has given way to a
feeling Of relaxation and an easier ten.
dency in the price level.
The commercial situation, with the
subsistence of alarm over the crop out.
Cook, comes into the foreground, the
dullness evident putting its weight
against the price. Barring the reap.
pearance of damage liability, supply anc
demand should be the leading factor il
the market There is no eagerness or
the part of millers to stock up with the
new crop such as characterized the de
4nand during the early movement last
gear.
There has been no scarcity Of whea'
s5hrovghout the season just closing
Bins have not been swept clean as they
were following the short crop of 1904
Flour buyers have adopted a conserva
tive policy in their purchases and Their
is every indication that they will no
stock up until the price level is shorn o
every sign of artltcialty.
The trade Is fully cognizant that
good portion of the 1905 crop is still un
marketed. The new crop is coming
forward. While not pressing upon th'
market, it must tend to grow in volume
DAY by day. Some of this wheat ha
been hedged, the September option
working to a carrying charge compared
with the July option in the southwest
ern markets, indicating that wheat is il
excess of the current demand.

Africa is a remarkable case in point
where a land scramble did not lead to
international war. Great Britain has
secured perhaps the only share Of the
vast territory in which men of Euro
pean descent could live and prosper.
France about equals Great Britain in
the area Of her African possessions,
but one-half Of her territory lies in the
great Sahara desert. Together these
powers now control nearly two-thirds
of Africa, and each Of them alone con
trolls more than any other two com
bined.

High school authorities over the Il
try who are opposing the organization
of fraternities in such institutions will
receive the approval of many parents
having children in a high school. High
school boys ana girls are too young for
such things. 1t is an aping after a
phase Of college life. The exclusive
ness which is part of college fraternity
life should have no part in a public
high school. 1t is undemocratic, IN
