Early Whist.

It is thought that the game of whist
was first played in the time of Henry
VIII. of England, but the first known
mention of the game in print was in a
book called THE Motto 1921, in
which it was spelled 'whisk." In
Buffers Hudi5ras Cl663) it was spelled
whist and very seusibly, for the
game in question requires close atten.
ton and consequent silence. Whist!

THE THREE GREAT 1sMs.
IndiyidunIisn,. Socialism and Capital isn-ReIatlOns They Rear to
 One Another.


 One Another.
 Wall Street Journal.
 The whole population of the country may be divided into groups or isms ana everybody belongs to one or the other At one pole of economic policy is in dividualism. At the other extreme satnds socialism.
 These isms are as old as the world and yet as new as today. In modern times their meaning is always deter mined by the relation of people 10 Government. From this standpoint in- diyidualism means faith in the policy of throwing the burden of welfare upon the individual on the assumption that the average man knows ms ma terial interests best and can De re- lied upon to follow the line which m inc long run is not only good for him self but best for the people as a. whoie.
 It was the swing from the abuses of individualism away from paternal- ism that called into existence the so- cIalistic conception of how to get eco homie progress without the periis or freedom. With great growth Of weaItn in sight its distribution was so defec'- i've as to raise the problem of demo- cratizing the results of national pros perity. Why, asked the socialist, shoulo not the Government take over the whole manufacturing business, wherepy wealth came in such abundant measure to those in control, and divide the pro- duct on the basis of the contribution l of labor to the process? Socialism would not get results by taxing prop erty but by taking possession Of the | capital of individual investment and making labor time the common denom- | inator of the division Of It's products. l.. But the fallacy of this proposal to sub- ! stitute socialism for capitalism lies

in the difficulty of keeping up the sup ply of capital necessary for progress.
 Capitalism which stands next to in- dividualism in the swing toward the other extreme, finds its more recent expressions in terms of the modern corporation. Old as the corporation is as a form of enterprise. in later times 1t assumes the form of the trust, where much of the economic waste which so- cialism charges to indfvidualism Is avoided. not. however. without some of the perils of monopoly.
 The struggle of corporate policy as related to Government is really a con- test between individualism and social ism for control of the corporation. IT, under the corporate organization of in- dustry. the advantages of large-sca1e production can be secured to the indi- vidual investor without the deadening disadvantages of monopoly, twill be because the individual has learned to utilize the corporation as means of development of the type of citizenship that will best meet modern needs. If on the contrary the inevitable destiny of irresponsible corporate enterprise is to become department of government, then socialism will have realized its hopes.
 Socialism assumes that the individ- ual is an incompetent. Paternalism assumes that he is a child. Both at- tribute a wisdom to government which 1t has never proved in practice. Capi- talism, which has created science and machinery. alone has conquered nature and placed the worlds resources at the service of individual and thus of so- ciety as a whole.
 The best hope of protecting the coun- try against the extremes of individ- ualism, which is anarchy, and against the perils of socialism, lies in intelli- | gent government regulation-regula | ton that will give US the industrial efficiency of combination and the life- invigorating qualities of competition.

 Chicago, Dec. 21.-Wheat prices the local exchange advanced more than 1c per bushel today because of additional raira in Argentina. but practically ell the gain was lest weekend profit taking. At the pared with yesterdays final quotations. Corn was off % q hc. Oats were Ac lower. Provisions were 1xc higher.
 Higher prices at all European grain mar kets due to continued wet weatherfn Argep- tina induced lively buying of wheat in the local market at the opening.
 Offerings in the pit during the first hour were again meager and prices advanced rap idly. Indications of falling off in the movemnt in the Northwest helped to stlm- ulate bullish enthusiasm. Late in the day the offerings became more liberal, small holders being disposed to take profits Near ly all of the early gain was lost as a result
 May opened < a Sc to A @&c higher at $1.0s% to SLOT. advanced to s1 OTIS and then declined to $1.osh. The close was at s1. 0s% Qh.
 The corn market was weak all day. not- withstanding higher cables and the bulge enced by talk of mateIsal increase In re- ceipts and by the government report which showed a total yield of 2.592, 100000 bush els. The close was weak. May closed at STAG.
 Oats were firm at the start. owing to the strength of wheat but weakened on selling by cash houses and elevator interests. May opened 1sc higher at 5{tsc. seld off to 5S% %S where 1t closed.
 Provisions were strong owing to ad- vance of 10 Q 15c in the prices of live hogs. At the close May pork was up 7hc at SIS. 22h. Lard and ribs were also up 7hc at s7 .s2h and d. .12ls respectively.

 Offerings were not at all heavy, and later prices steadied up on covering and little buying by Wall Street interests. During the middle of the morning the market was very quiet, but steady at a net advance Of 394 4 points.

The South, nevertheless, is not at all dis turbed over the fact that mill takings thus far this season are running 422,000 bales behind last year thus far and is paying more attention to the shortness of the crop which is generally estimated at about Ill., 300. 900, although many are of the opinion that 1t will be 12.000,000 or 100000 to 1000. 900 less than one year ago Unless trade conditions become more favorable. 1t is probable that the world will require 12. 000. .000. as all but 5000 bales of the 422- 900 shortage in spinners takings thus far this year has been charged to American mills. Europe promising to take as much as last season when the worlds takings for the season were 12.69s.000 of American.
