CHICAGO, April 1.-THE appeal
of Pittsburg bakers to Secretary OF
State Knox to take steps to END
manipulation of wheat and other
markets excited comment today BY
James A. Patten, popularly alleged
to control the present market for the
high priced cereal.
In the first place, said Mr.. Pat
ten, Il don't control the market. Ny
line at no time has run over ten
million bushels. | have preached the
gospel of higher wheat because / saw
what was coming"
Mr.. Patten at his point in the in
terview paused TO open a telegrom
which had been handed him. He
read it, smiled grimly and then re-
marked:
Now, what do you think of that?
Here it is reported on the board that
am 'disgusted' with the whole wheat
business because of criticism and am
going to get out.
The so-called wheat king" tossed
the offending note on his desk, and
resumed:
I'm grain trader, and | don't in
tend to quit. | bought when the mar
ket looked cheap, as did others who
accepted my view, and immense pro-
fits have been made. | have already
sold great deal.
For three or four years, this has
been coming. At the end of each
crop. bins were empty everywhere
With increasing population here and
abroad, 1t was obvious that sooner
or later the crop of one year would
be exhausted before a new crop was
at hand. Last fall, if not earlier, |
saw it coming. | bought wheat and
my friends did likewise. The great
unthinking public here and in Eu-
rope would not. or could not, see
what was coming. Liverpool would
not buy months ago, thinking the
prices of that day too high. Now
Europe wants 55,0OO,0O0 bushels.
The harvest was early last year. 1t
has been trying to cover 13 months
instead of the usual 12, and it can't
do il. We need wheat for the mills
right here in Chicago now.
Here's another point If We
hadn't bought wheat mean myself
and others-the price would be
higher here than it is. Europe
would have taken it, for the foreign
ers finally recognized the weakness
of their position. Where would the
domestic supply have come from?
We would have been compelled to
buy from the very Europeans We
sold to.
II regard IL as fortunate that IL

crop conditions and took advantage
of it, This was not philanthropy.

AN ERA OF WASTE

The good old principle Of economy
In the public expense has been al
but lost sight OF by the national gov
eminent, say the Char eston Gazetts
The tendency has been constantly
toward increasing extravaganza In
public affairs until the point has been
reached where the suggestion Of
economy. If ii does not meet with
open ridicule, at least commands q
very poor hearing. and any movemer I
in that direction usually dies a-born-
in. America is today known every
where a the most wasteful nation
on earth.
Hence the recent announcement
that President Taft has laid down
for h S administration the rule of CO.
operation between the departments to
reduce expenditures and estimates.
and to bring about a responsible
relationship between the expenditure
and the revenues is rather -tartlinS
1T sounds like an echo from the
past, when we had more statesmen
and fewer politicians. Can IL really
be true? Is President Tai. going to
carry Us back to the honest meth
DDS which characterized public OK
penditure under the administration
of Grover Cleveland and the long
line of Democratic presidents who pre-
celed him?
THE principle Of the people no -

which Republication overthrow the
Bourbon monarchy. 1t was COPIED
in our CONSTITUTIONAL enactments that
taxing and expenditure measure
must originate in the lower house
and that no public money can be eX-

NAME GOOD MEN.

The Democratic convention for
the city of Bluefield has been called
for Friday night. Two Democl az
are to be elected members OF the
Board of Affairs under the new eisy
charter. If only two candidates are
named at the convention it will be
equivalent to their election Four
may be named, but on'y two can De
elected. 1t will be the province of
the convention to decide whether
two or four VIII be named. A more
important question, however, will
be TO decide on the candidates. The
convention should by all means
name men who will give the city
an honest and progressive admins
traton. The government Of the
city has been taken out of politics
1t is expected that both parties wilt
put up their very best men. The
Democrats should take pride in
their party and turn out to the con
vention determined to nominate
men who will be credit to the par
ty as well as the city. There has
been business stagnation for MANI
months. Bluefield has suffered less
than many cities, but she has suf-
fered. 1t is time for business i'm
provenent and it is important that
the new administration be a pro
gressive one. Lei everybody take
an interest in the matter and help
to boost the city. The board of az
fairs will be an important factor in
the boosting; hence the necessity
of e!ecting good men.
Among the candidate named OH
the Democratic side, those most fire.
quently spoken of are Mayor f. NJ
Peters, who was gi-lated out of of
flee by the new charter; Supervise
S. Frazier Showers, whose office was
also abolished, Col. OLeary ard
Hoge Mason. Any Of these gentle
men would give the city an able
clean, up-to-date business admins
tration. Others equally as capabl,
Will probably be before the conven-
ton.

Young Mr.. Brummagem was riding
uptown in the company OF nine wo-
men. He did not know the women.
He simply happened to land In a car

car and four I'm the seat facing II.
The tenth passenger was Brummagem.
He sat ut the end OF the seat, and

then when the conductor had counted

thrust forward at one time that 1t was

You Sleep on Your Capable Side.

From IAN Experimental Study in Sleep,
by Professor Boris Sidis, OF Harvard.
Some people go to sleep only on their
back n find IL difficult to fall asleep
otherwise, while others who go to sleep
on their side. and who form the greater
majority, always go to sleep on the
same side. There are very few who
can fall asleep indifferently on either
side. Moreover, my observations have
shown me that by far the majority Of
right handed people go to sleep on the
right side, while left handed people go
to sleep on their left side, Some Of
the right handed people who go to sleep
on the right side may, after some time,
turn to their left to change position,
while others keep on sleeping on the
same side through the whole night.
The majority change position. One
case is specially interesting to quote:
Up to m seventh year j slept on my
right side n | was right handed. At
about the age of l met with an acct
dent, l was run yer by a team and my
right side was injured so that l could
not use the limbs of the right side. I
used my left hand only. / began to
sleep on my left side. This / did up to
my 18th year. l then began to prac-
tice with my right hand too. and am
now ambidextrous. / sleep now on
either side. | use both hands."

BIG TASK OF REFoREsTArloN.
The Department Of Agriculture Has {
Million Acres TO Plant in Trees.

James Wilson, Secretary Of Agriculture
I'm Suburban Life for April.
The question is how to get tree seeds
10 grow, particularly out west in the
forest ranges. We have 1853 million
acres now. Last summer / went out
west among the trees, as I had done
for several III A nice question
has been IN our minds, how to get re-
forestation done. OF course you can
plant seeds In a bed and then take
them up with a spade and set them
out where you want them set. and all
that. II the department OF agriculture
had all the army and all the navy they
could never get IL done in time. We
have probably 5 million acres to plant.
We ought to be reforestating ESQ.,
GO0 acres q year-think of that You
can lever do that with a spade In the
world; you could never get II done. Ma
ture should be followed along those
lines.
I recollect the first time I went out
there and discussed his proposition
with some of the people there. IL l
were wanting to get a field to grow
grass IA had no grass on il, / would
SOW the grass seed on the last SHOWS
in the spring, and the seed would sink
down into the soil and would be moist
ened and would germinate before the
moisture from the spring rains and
SHOWS affected deleteriously the roots.
That is the way we get pastures more
quickly. Sow the seeds In the last
SHOWS I'm the spring and you will attain
that result. II wish you would try
that with regard 20 refOrestation," I
said to them Il was then I'm the Black
Hills. speaking to some Of our forest
people,. They said they would try II.
l advised them to get their seed in
ample quantity in the fall, take an
80-acre tract in the spring and SOW
on the last SHOWS. I was IA there
last summer again. 1t was three years
since / had been there and made the
and they had carried out
that suggestion. l drove rs miles to
see that S0-acre tract. 1t seemed to me
every seed had grown, and that
a mile above the level OF the sea.
