Hold Your Wheat

An editorial under the above cap-
ton, appeared in the, Inter Ocean of
twenty two years ago. 1t is worth re-
printing, as it will apply to conditions
now as well as it did then.
The Inter Ocean believes it to be a
duty it4owes it's agricultural constit-
uency to again suggest the propriety
of holding back the wheat crop. The
Devils Lake region this year produced.
the major part Of the No. i hard wheat
grown in the northwest, and the big
roller mills Of Minneapolis must have
it to keep up the brand of their -four.
Seventy cents per bushe1 is no price
for No. hard wheat; it is worth o
dollar, and the big mills have no alter
native but to pay the farmers price.
By what method of reasoning can any,
one explain why No. 1 hard wheat
should be worth today six to- eight
cents less than it was three weeks
ago? Is the supply greater now than
1T was then? Not at all; but there is
more wheat in the granaries now, and
nearly every farmer is hauling in a
few loads to purchase the necessaries
of life. Hence the elevator. supplies
are larger temporarily, and the big
mills are purchasing in heavier quanti-
ties. They take advantage of this
temporary glut in the market ana
shove the price down. 5.s s.s$

how uncertain are real estate ventures

ness men, they paid him large sums to
go away and not restrain trade.
Typical of this same Sultan Mulai
Hassan's attitude toward what is
called progress and improvement in
the western world is an anecdote, the
authenticity of which I feel I can
vouch for. There were and still are
some dangerous rocks in the harbor
of Rabat, and the owners of the coast
ing steamers engaged in the Morocco
trade were anxious, for obvious rea-
sons, to have them removed. Having
failed to interest the local governor in
the matter, the steamship men got to-
gether and sent an envoy to Fee, who
requested that the companies con-
cerned might be allowed to remove
these dangers to commerce at their
own expense.

Certainly not" was the sultan's
immediate answer, "the rocks were
put there by God for some good pur-
pose, let no man dare to remove
them"
What the sultan doubtless thought
was that foreign men-of-war could get
into the Atlantic ports of his empire
quite easily enough, and at all events
he did not wish to appear in the eyes
of his sullen people as facilitating the
exits and the entrances of the hated

lance. Churchill served here two
years and then was so fortunate as
to secure a change of garrison to a
place where there. was not so much
thankless fighting, but the English
government, reluctant as ever to give
up a corner of land that has once
been painted red, hung on to the we'd
ding present of the luckless queen for
a generation. On one occasion the
earl of Teviott, the British governor,
with most of his officers and a large
portion of the garrison, was surprised
by the vigilant Moors, and but few
escaped with their lives. After 20
years of constant warfare, harassed
day and night by tireless and trucu-
lent enemy, the keepers of John
Bulls treasury counted up the cost,
and shortly after the figures were
known Tangier was abandoned, and
so the second attempt of the conquest
of Morocco failed.
Spain Had Enough.
In 1859 the Spaniards, under O'Don-
nell, invaded Morocco. bent upon OBJ
tanning satisfaction for undoubted in
juries at the hands of lawless Moors,
and perhaps with thoughts Of perma-
nent conquest if all went we'll. AS a
matter of fact, nothing went well.
From 100000 to 10000 men were en-
gagged for two years, with heavy casue
alties, and even greater losses from
sickness. At the end of the second
campaign, the Sancho Panza in Cas-
lillian politics got the upper hand Of
the Don Quixote, proclaimed honor
satisfied, the terms offered by the
Moors all that could be desired, and
retired in a blaze of false glory, out
of which O'Donnell secured a duke
dom and many Spanish regiments un-
pronounceable Moorish names. But
the real results were none.
In 1893 the Moors attacked the
Spanish possession of Melilla, and the
Madrid government, if hungry for ad-
venture, had every opportunity, and
even justification, for a punitive ex-
petition, but very wisely did not
