sAoaTAeE IN,wAEAT CROP.
Predicted by Traders ana Commission
Men Of Chicago.

Chicago, May z The last week on
the Chicago board of trade has seen
a revival OF the activity which pre-
vailed there several years ago, and
1t Il predicted by the more optimis-
tic traders that this will continue at
a higher level for some time to come.
The cold weather conditions which
have prevailed so continuously
throughout the west and southwest
have been the chief cause Of the in
creased volume of trade. Never in
the history of the weather bureau has
such extended and such severe wealth
er existed at this time of the year.
The result has been growing con-
viction on the part of many traders
and commission men that the crop Of
winter wheat has been seriously dam
aged and one excellent authority has
made the prediction that the crop will
be about 1000 900 bushels below
that of last year Conflicting reports
have been received from all sections
regarding the damage inflicted by the
green bug" and from Oklahoma es-
peclally have the resorts been of a
contradictory character.
BY some IL has been asserted that
the crop has been greatly impaired,
and by others that the injury has been
slight. The result has been, how
ever, a renewal of something like
old-tims activity on the board Of
trade.

This remarkable statement should be
considered with the fact that two of
the girls in this case were 10 and ID
years old; children that should have
been in school. but, instead, were en-
ticed into saloon.
The children have been sent to the
reform school. no doubt for their good,
but at the same time for punishment.
The man that helped them along the
road to ruin escapes with fine of SIS
after admitting his guilt. Friends, in

selves" in his case.
1t is. indeed. time somebody else ''in-
terested himself on the other side of
this case. Common decency, public

children demand that action be taken

cTATE OFFICIALS AND DEFICITS.

Just as if it were a casual occur
renee, the announcement is made in
the legislature that the officials of the
state have expended $4,000 in excess
of the appropriations since the last
session of lawmakers. 1t is proposed
now to make officials personally re-
sponsible for such excess expenditures
hereafter in the hope that they will
keep within the appropriations.
The simpIe-minded citizen will Won
der why such a law is necessary, but
he viii agree that it may be a good
thing to put in effect. The state Off
Gals are supposedly servants and
trustees of the people; they are pro-
vided with certain sums for specific
purposes, on estimates they furnish
themselves. 1t is clearly illegal for
them to spend more than the appro-
priations as If they threw public
money away. This session should
have published for the information of
the taxpayers, the names of the off,
Gals who have exceeded their appro-
priations and given in detail the
amount each one spent without au-
thority. Then there would be means
of knowing who the offenders are and
what their reasons. if any, for break
ing the laws they are supposed to OBJ
serve and enforce.
Possibly the officials of the state
have taken their cue from those gov
eminent departments and bureau
heads who ignored congressional laws,
spent money as they pleased and de-
pended upon the succeeding congress
to meet the deficit Congress passed
a protective measure such as is pro-
posed for the state and it worked adj
mirably, even if it does look like an
absurdity to make laws to compel the
observance OF laws already in exist
ence.

THE DUcEY CASE.

Mayor Thompson is said to have
interested himself in the case of
Ducey. the saioonkeeper who allows
girls 10 frequent his saloon, and it is
suggested that the place may be closed.
Certainly it is time some person in
authority became interested in this
case and in other similar cases. 1t
seems TO be impossible to secure ade-
quate punishment for men like Ducey
through the regular channels. The man
pleaded guilty 10 the charge of. allow

of Is says she was taken into the sa-

which he gave her without charge
Two or thyee charges against Ducey
were dropped without explanation. To
the third charge the man pleaded gull

marked that as. 1t was the custom of
saloonkeepers to allow svomen In their

TIME TO KEEP cool.

Above all things, one should try TO
keep cool when business disturbances
are threatened. 1t is impossible to es-
cape excitement and it's consequent un-
necessary losses when market condi-
tions are upset as at present. but
calmDess and thoughtful deliberation
are splendid tonics at such times. In
ests are wholly or largely embraced
in securities easily affected by market
changes. cannot avoid a feeling Of
alarm when depression becomes evident
but then, as at no other time, should
hasty and ill-advised action be elimin-
ated. Some of the great panics of the
past have been found to have had their
bases largely in frantic unloading in
spired by nothing more than wild fear.
1t is of course natural and proper for
man to safeguard himself and to
sacrifice part of what he has when
necessary to save the rest. but wisdom
eounsels against hurried action with
out careful study of existing condi-
tions.
The present situation contains, as
yet, nothing to warrant the assumption
that the general prosperity of the
country is menaced. Rather does it
appear that securities inflated beyond
their right limits are in process of adj
justment to a proper basis. Fictitious
values, therefore, are the ones to suffer
and he who deals in fictitious values
takes the gamblers chance at all
times and should not be astonished
when reverses come. Concerns that were
on sound foundation when the de-
preston began should not suffer and
the others should emerge from it in
better condition than they entered.
Losses have already taken place and
more will doubtless come, but the con-
servative investor should not allow
himself to be swayed from the
path of business sense by the surface
symptoms inevitable in cases such as
this.
