We have proceeded thus far, Mr..

was dual responsibility along the
lower Mississippi That it was as
much the duty of the Federal Gov

of its rivers by building levees which

riparian owners as it was the duty
of the riparian owners to build 1evees
to protect their property which III
cidentally improve the navigation OF
the rivers The burden, therefore.
has been borne by both.
Right here let me read again from
Mr.. Vests report:
But for the enormous loss OF levee
due to the extensive caving Of the
river banks the entire levee line
would by now be as high and strong
as it is estimated it will ever have to
be to control the highest hods that
may be expected.
When we remember that this re

New York-It is earnestly to be
hoped that all parents and brothers
will take to heart the great lesson
taught by the Thaw trial and all its
attendant horrors
It is a lesson that shows how abso-
lutely important it is that the young
girl of the family should be guarded
and guided past the pitfalls that
stand ever ready for her ignorant
and innocent little feet to stumble
into.
She has no experience of the world
and its wickedness; she is no judge
of men; all she wants is a good time,
and she grasps at it eagerly, with nc
thought of the consequences
Poor babyl She pays bitterly
sometimes for her love of fun and
pretty things, and no one thinks to
blame any one but herself. No one
thinks to ask, "What were her par
to become friends with such man.
T 1t is the parents solemn duty to
know who their daughters friends
are, and all about them
Mother, Father, Brother, Be Con-
stantly On Watch
| The brother should know who her
girl friends are, and whether they are
the right kind of girls for her to
| know.
| The father and brother should
know all about the men Whose ac-
quaintanc eship she forms, and they
should be careful to let those men
understand that they can take no
liberties without coming up against
| the strong right arm of her natural
| guardians
A brother can tell Immediately if
| his sisters girl friends are the right
kind OF girls for her to associate
with.
Sisters are not always ready to
take the advice Of their brothers,
but the brother can tell his mother,
and she cam with patience and tact,
make her little daughter see things
i'm their proper light
OF course there are some willful
| girls who will take the advice of
no one And they. poor children,
must learn from the hardest teacher
of al1-experlence.
The moment a girl begins to go
out by herself in the evenings and
refuses to tell where she goes, or with
whom. it is time for the home guard
to be on the watch
Man VINO is honorable comes
Openly to the House
The man whose intentions are hon
orab1e will come to the house openly
and be only too glad to meet the en-
tire family and make good impress
sion
But the girl of sixteen does not
stop to think of that. She thinks
that to be clandestine is romantic
and a handsome face and smooth
manner appeal far more to her than
ightforward manliness.
Remember this, parents and broth
ers, and don't relax your watchful-
ness for an instant-the horrors OF
the Thaw trial have shown that
ravening wolves in the shape of So
called men are ever on the watch fol-
ignorant little lambs.
1t has thrown a hideous light or
the vice of this great city. The ones
best htte OF stamp it out are the ma
tural guardians Of our young girls
The fathers and brothers must
sta~d shoulder TO shoulder ard gaard
their vorag daughtegs and sisters

The market was bank statement was not to be pub lished until after the expiration of the stock markets session.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

Chicago. Nov. 1s.-oyerselling by bears and their covering caused a slight advance, today. h S The final final . S6stations tat ' on in wheat were Hc higher: corn was unchanged; oats were lsc higher; provisions were 5c lower
 The wheat market opened weak because of a lack of support which was based large ly upon lower prices at Liverpool The fear was also expressed that the Bank of Eng land may again advance its rate of dis count and this caused considerable unload for short account. The bears overshot the mark somewhat and their efforts to cover late in the day caused the price of Decem- Der to advance quickly with the result that 1t closed higher than the last prices of ves- terday.
 slight reaction was caused from the opinion generally entertained of the New York bank statement " The export demand was practically nothing.
 December wheat opened A A@Mc to %o lower at e3%c to 93kc. and after selling between s3bc and s4xc, closed steady at e4Ac.
 Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 1S6.000 bushels. Primary receipts were 696,0oO bushels, against 745, 900 bushels on the same day last year.
 The corn market was nervous. and prices were generally lower with the trade chiefly of a local character. The good weather for the curing of the crop and the weak tone of the wheat market during the greater part of the day were depressing factors. Trade was very light
 December corn opened MMhc to O ssc lower at 54hc to 4kc. sold between 53 and 54Ac and closed unchanged at 54%c.
 The trade in oats was exceeding ngnt ana was confined largely to professional trad ing. The demand for cash oats was poor and local sales were only s5.0O0 bushels.
 December oats opened hc higher at 4S hc. sold between 46 and 46%c and closed at 46hc. Local receipts were 109 cars.
 The weakness of grain caused an easy ojening in provisions but later the covering by shorts in ribs. brought about a regain of the early loss The trading was not large. At the close January pork was five cents lower at $12.75. Lard was 2h c lower at $7.971s Ribs were a shade higher at $s.s7h @s6 90.

 Futures opened barely steady. 7@12 points below the close of yesterday. as result of unfavorable advices from Liverpool, which were to the effect that uneasiness over the financial situation in America had proved an active bearish feature there and had depressed the market.
 Spots being quoted in the local market hc down on all grades also had bearish effect and a general recession in values followed. No bullish features were in evt- dence and at the close the active months ranged from 23 to 25 points below the close of yesterday.
