PATTENISM

TT is not right that one man should
have the power to disturb the
n country by exploiting a necessary
of life. Patterns wheat campaign
which is said to have reached a some
what tame close, was more demoraliz-
ing to the United States than if all the
race tracks had been allowed to run
full tilt for a week with all the bookies
doing a Futurity day business. The
great wheat gamble was based on the
hypothesis there is a shortage in
wheat, which will justify speculation
Whether this shortage exists in fact OF
only in the inventive mind of Pat
ten, is a moot question. If it ex-
lists in fact what shall be said
of the conduct of citizen of the
United States who takes advantage OF
his country's necessities in order to
make a quick profit and become sud
denly rich?
If it exists only in Patterns mind
what shall be said of a process of en-
richment based on a mischievous false
hood? And the mischief is not ended
by Mr.. Patterns cessation from per-
nicious activity. The influences of his
conduct are widespread, and, if we may
borrow the jargon of Patterns trade, he
was not only bull on the market but
bear on public morals, on which
such conduct as his has a most de-
pressing effect.
On account of the publicity INSOFAR
able from such an heroic operation
as Patterns, practically the whole ma
ton is asked to assist at his demon
stration of the facts that an oligarchy
may commercially control a republic
and the ukase of financial tyrant
may cause widespread public incon-
venience and distress.
A bull campaign that creates q
widespread business disturbance, thai
has an unhealthy influence on the
morals of many of the people of the
nation-especially the young men-ano
that produces nothing but evil does not
reflect luster on the annals of Ameri-
can civilization.

will work ?"-Admiral Robley D. Evans.
Now I am no particular admirer OF
Andrew Carnegie, neither have 1 any
thing against Admiral Robley d. Ev-
ans, whom I regard as fine sailor, a
gentleman and good patriotic Ameri-
can; but I do not agree with him as
to the above.
The police of city are maintained
to keep order within its bounds, a
strictly private service; not to defend
the city from the police of any other
city. nor attack them. Therefore the
point Is not we'll taken. Furthermore,
If the navies were maintained to keep
order within the borders of their own
country, they would be doing police
duty only and would not be menace
to the worlds peace, and might be re-
duced to a minimum. Again, IL the
world needs a naval force to keep
peace between its countries, let 1t be-
organized by and serve under the Juris-
diction of the court of The Hague.

citizens of Los Angeles to send him

have avoided if he had been correctly
informed. Our square deal mayor has

To smoke, or not to smoke; that is the question. The decision of the encyclopedias is that smoking is the least harmful of all luxuries. That decision, however, is not wholly satisfactory. is smoking in modera- tion harmful at all? Nay, may it not even be beneficial? But before we can learn the effect of smoking on health, we should know that tobacco, which is classed as a narcotic, is a stimulant in small doses. This fact, though well known to physiologists, is not so well known to the laity, and is usually quite misapprehended or ignored by popular writers on alcohol and tobacco.
