THE MARKETS.

In our last write-up of the market
several weeks ago we stated that
wheat looked as if it was due for a
higher price. Wheat advanced after
that until the cash article sold at Sill
in Minneapolis. 1t later declined to
S103, and has since worked back to
$l07a at Minneapolis Wednesday,
March 25th. Wheat has looked strong
for several months, but the trade has
nearly all been wrong in looking for
higher prices. As soon as dollar wheat
was reached the grain came pouring
into the market. Much of the time
during the past few weeks the receipts
have exceeded those of a year ago.
With such a condition it is about use
less to look for higher prices. Wheat
is now 2S cents over the same time a
year ago. Any considerable raise in
price from now on must be due entire
ly to speculation. We are only about
ten weeks away from the southern
harvest.
1t has been our opinion all along
that barley was due to sell lower. The
past few weeks have seen a constant
drop in the price of this article. Our
best barley now sells at so cents in
Milwaukee, and the demand slow at
that. There are no prospects of an
advance in price.
We have stated all along that oats
was the strongest grain on the mark
ct. This commodity has held up its
price better than any other, but the
government report of March 10th
rather gave us black eye on that.
The estimate in regard to oats March
1st was 35a per cent of last years
crop in farmers hands On that date
there were 100000 bushels more
standard oats in Chicago elevators
than there were a year ago, when the
price was 10 cents lower. We look to
see the local demand in this section
hold up the price to quite an extent,
The trade in general is looking for
lower prices. The trend of all prices
is downward and the grains are bound
to go with other commodities. At
the present time the winter wheat crop
is in fine condition, which fact has a
depressing effect.

No! Kittredge has not yet pledged
himself to abide by the endorsement
of the republican voters at the June
primaries. The wiley junior senator
knows that representatives, although
morally bound to carry out the will of
their party as expressed at the prim
aries, are not legally bound to respect
their party endorsement there being
no penalty attached if they are dis
loyal to their constituents. Kit has
persistently refused to go on record
as being willing to abide by the deci
sion of the people for the very good
reason that he knows the majority of
his party are against him. He prefers
to make a fight at the June primaries
to keep up show, but his real hope
lies in trying to catch the republicans
unawares in the selection of members
of the Legislature. 1t is for this reason
that Kittredge has constantly refused
to place himself on record as being
willing to abide by the spirit of the
law.

truth of the statement, and it is some

KITTREDGE and other enemies of the
administration are trying to make
capital out of the fact that Ex-Chief
Engineer Stevens predicts the Panama
canal will be failure. 1t will be re-
membered that Stevens formerly drew
$4,000 year for experimenting the
construction of what he now predicts
will be failure.

WATCHMAN, WHAT OF THE NIGHT?

The assault of the corporations on
the republican party has been met
and repulsed. They fought with
desperation born of despair, and were
handled with that matchless cunning
for which corporation politics is noted,
but the republican ranks stood firm
and the forlorn hope fell outside the
works.
Both sides are taking breath now
and girding up their loins for the re-
newal of the combat.
What is the significance of Tues
days triumph2 For the past month
the stalwarts, confident of success,
have insisted that success at the March
primaries insured victory in June.
If they were correct, if that is true,
we have seen the end of stalwartism.
But it is not wholly true. Having
final victory placed easily within their
grasp by the results of last week, the
republicans can repeat, without incurr.
ing the suspicion of trying to let them
selves down easy, what they claimed
before the late primary-that while it
was not so important to them, success
was vital to the stalwarts. Of course
our stalwart friends, who do not APP
pear to recognize the dead, even when
they are ii" themselves, will pooh
pooh the statement, but calm, unim.
passionate review of the facts will show
it to be true.
The defeat of last week spells ex
tinction to stalwartism, but it would
have been by no means conclusive of
defeat in June for the republicans.
Why? For these reasons: First,
the action of the president, in declar-
ing positively his refusal to accept,
placed them at great disadvantage,
They had declared for Roosevelt, and
had refused to intimate a second choice
bellving that he would not refuse. His
action left them, in a certain sense,
sup in the air" Taft was really the
second choice of majority of them.
but because they had not so declared
in any public manner the stalwarts
accused them of bad faith and thus
created, or thought they were creating,
distrust. Second, when the republi-
cans finally declared for Taft, after
Roosevelt positively declined, it elm
mated the only issue nominalfy be-
tween them and the stalwarts. This
made it impossible to arouse sufficient
enthusiasm to bring out the country
vote where the chief strength of the
republicans lies. And third and
greatest-the 222 delegates, which the
law unfortunately gave county COM
mittees power to appoint, worked great
disadvantage to the republicans. By
means of "holdovers," cunningly work
ed appointments of their men on coun-
ty committees and specious sophistries
to committeeman who were real re-
publicans, the stalwarts secured l6S
of the 222, a lead of ia before the
primaries were held, who represented
nothing but accident and smooth
politics." They had only to elect 7S
out of the 267 to be elected, to control
the convention, while the republicans
must needs elect 1872. These disad-
vantages of the republicans, and the
fact that the stalwarts, with three
months compaign of misrepresent-
alton, slander, and cold cash. could
only elect 81 delegates out of 267 to
be elected, stamps their pretensions
to success in June as puerile if not
idiotic. Journal World-Spirit.

The Impression on Ascending In g

One Of the first questions which am
usually asked by persons seeking in

the sensation of going up in balloon"
writes Captain G. Def Chandler, U.

quiry of the readers of this article and
state for their information that in a
free balloon have not noticed any Pc
culiar physical sensation which can be
described. 1t would be like trying to
describe standing still as a sensation
The impression on ascending in free
balloon is more an optical illusion. The
ascent is so slow and gentle that It
cannot be felt, and one has the impress
sion that the balloon is motioness and
the earth gradually dropping away. All
the noises and shouts of the people be
come fainter and die out. AS the alti.
tude increases hills and valleys are not
apparent, and the earth seems fiat, like

The greater part of the time a bal.
loon is moving either up or down, but
the, motion is not apparent, and it re
quires a statoscope to indicate whether
the balloon is ascending or descending

Centennial Of the Movement in the
United States is Auspi-
cious Occasion.
HONOR MEMORY OF
DR.. BILLY CLARK
Who Organized the First Temperance
Society in Saratoga County, New
York, Just One Hundred Yeare Ago.
Rapid Growth.
Hearst News service.

Washington, June 9.-Following the
international convention Of the hide
pendent Order of Good Templars,
which will wind up its business today,
the national session of the order will
begin its deliberations. Hundreds of
distinguished temperance workers and
leaders in the anti-saloon cause are
here from all over the world and the,
two conventions will likely become
historical landmarks of the temper
ance movement.
At the close of the convention here
this week, practically all Of the dele.
gates will go to Saratoga Springs, N.
Y, where the centennial anniversary
of the founding of the first temper
ance society will be celebrated, begin
ming next Sunday. The Saratoga as
sembly will be, in all probability, the
most notable gathering Of the anti
rum clans in the history of the world.
1t was DR.. Billy James Clark who
planted the seed of the temperance
movement in 1908 by founding local
temperance society at Moreau, Sara
toga County, N. Y.
Little did he realize as he organized
the first society for the carrying on of
temperance work with the help of Rev.
l.. Armstrong, Gardner Storr and
James Mott that century was to raj
ly to his temperance banner multi
tudes of societies and millions of
earnest followers. Little did he and
the others associated with him realize
that that quiet, insignificant meeting
which was held in his home in Moreau
on April 80, 1908, was to provide the
inspiration for great worldwide tenn
perance congress, and that at his home
and at his grave there would gather
multitudes pledged to the same work
who would there find new inspiration
and new courage for pressing the bat
tie against the forces of intemperance.
But such is to be the fact, and how
| fitting it seems that the society which
Billy Clark organized. and which is
still in existence, should be in charge
Of the preliminary arrangements for
the coming centennial celebration.
Such initial steps have already been
taken and a contract secured for the
great convention hall at Saratoga
Springs. This splendid auditorium
will seat 5000 people, and there is
every likelihood that its utmost, ca
pacity will be taxed, and that over
flow meetings will have to be held in
the various churches of the place, the
pastors all having agreed to recon-
mend TO their official boards the plac
ing of their edifices, free OF charge, al
the disposal of such temperance so
cieties as may fittingly occupy them
1 All temperance societies, OF what
ever name or nature, throughout the
entire world, have been most cordially
invited to participate in THIS UNIQUE
celebration. Each organization so par
ticipating will be a law unto itself
making its own program and response
bile for it's own utferances. There will
be assigned to each organization da!

hall or some church, as they ma,
choose, and hotel accommodations Sc
