Editorial Comment
The Recall in Chicago.

tilttSbufS
When in response to the complaint of
an ear-tortured public the city council of
Chicago passed an ordinance prohibiting
peddlers from crying their wares on the
streets pandemonum instead of peace
followed The peddlers. hucksters and
hawkers of Chicago denounced the Coun-
cilmen in practically every tongue under
heaven and then appointed polyglot
committee to translate their views to
Mayor Carter Harrison. The Mayor
heard the cry of the peddlers-ina fact,
in common with all other Chicagonians,
he could not help hearing it, but felt
compelled to inform them that his duty
was to see that the ordinances of the
city We're enforced, that he had no right
under the law to suspend municipal en-
aetments. Whereupon the peddlers re-
solved upon a strike with the idea of
starving public opinion into demanding
the recall of the anti-nose ordinance.
Those vendors who attempted to break
the strike were pelted with ''pineappo-o
and ''potato-o," the police reserves were
called out, several persons We're wounded
and one man killed yesterday. The gro
GERS, with more zeal for making hay
while the sun shone than foresight. rails
ed prices on garden truck, and the
clamor of looted populace mingled with
the raueous bray of the peddlers. Mayor
Harrison, vowing he would meier con-
sent, consented, suspended the ordinance,
although admittedly without any power
under the law to do so, and permitted
the peddlers to resume yodeling between
the hours of A. NJ. and =. NJ. pend
ing the repeal of the ordinance by coun-
ell.
Such is popular and peddler govern
ment in Chicago. Yet it will be found on
closer examination to be merely minia-
ture emulation of the methods occa-
sionally employed or threatened by
greater interests who dislike regulative
legislation If they cannot have their
way they won't play.

The New King and Queen.


God save King George; long live
Queen Mary!
Consecrated to the service of the
British Empire. Thursday, they at
same time received the public hon.
age of their subjects and the con-
CALCULATIONS of every civilized nation
The ceremony, in spite of the splen
dor and meaningless fuss and feath-
ers. means much to the word-how
much is. of course. beyond estimate.
But the placing at the head of this
great and powerful nation a man and
woman of character and high ideals
is of infinite benefit to the other peo-
PIES of the entire globe.
In the ceremonies of Thursday there
was much of humanity-an outward
throw of the sentiment that pervades
us all. high and low. The Queen wept,
God bless her, in her fulness of heart,
and the King fondly kissed his eldest
son, the Prince of Wales.
1t was an exhibition of that human
love that is growing up through the
ages ever increasing and ever leading
us out of the baser toward the divine.
In the messages of felicitation show
cred upon King George on that aus
picious occasion, probably none were
al laar
bond of brotherly sympathy, as did
that of President Taft in the name
of the American people.
1t expressed the cherished American
hope that under the guiding influence
Of King George and his Queen the
British dominion may flourish ana
prosper, and the friendly relations OF
the English speaking nations continue.
Somehow. in the heart of the thinker
today lis implanted the conviction that
the salvation of the world rests in
the hands of these two great peoples.
powers are beyond the strength of
any possible combination against them.
Their influence is for progress and
for good. They are are working to-
gether for universal peace. They are
being bound together more closely
and more firmly every day-British
sons are the fathers of our children's
ehidren; our daughters are the moth
ers of their royal children.
AS good and as beloved as Queer
Victoria and Queen Alexandra Were
we believe that under the advanced
womanliness of Queen Mary the Brit
ish royal social fabric is TO take oil

as was King Edward, we feel that tn
advent of King George upon tn
throne betokens greater strides in a
that pertains to real progress an

Wav Il Looks in Texas.

Mingled well with its demand tor
the passage of the farmers free list
bill' the Houston (Texas> Post deals
with the inconsistencies of the reel
procity' measure. The Texas cham
pion of the farmer publishes Some
very plain truths and winds up with:
IF there be substance for one portion
of the population. there will be emp
tiness for the majority, who will be
all the more indignant that the free
list bill was not enacted TO afford
them benefits to compensate for their
losses
Elsewhere the Post says: There is
more air than substance in the reci-
procity bill, as will be found after 1t
shall have become law. 1t has been
lower the cost of living to people liv-
ing in the states that touch the Can
adam boundary. If this hope shall be
realized, it win be at the expense OF
the farmers of the United States. III
II shall not be realized, then the Fed
eral treasury will suffer a loss of rev.
enue without compensating benefits
for the public.
"Mr. Taft's plea to the oil crushers
that they would gain a broader mar
ket for their oil evoked a ready in
dorsement of the measure by them,
but the crushers are such compact
ii is doubtful if they
would fail to levy upon the larger
consumers of oil in the United States
a heavier toll as a result of such in
creased demand, and they control the
cotton seed market so effectually II
is further doubtful If they would share
any extra profits they might obtain
with the hundreds of thousands of far
mers who produce the cotton seed,
so even the cotton oil argument
for the South in Canadian reciprocity.
Just what the masses of the United
States will gain by this legislation j.
largely problematieal. If it merely
broadens the scope of operation FOR
the trusts, the public will not benefit
at all. If there is a lumber trust. IL
will control on both sides of the bor-
der; if there is a paper trust, it will
do likewise, as will the meat trust
and the cold storage combination.
There is, therefore, the possibility OF
greater profits for those who control
production with probably less profits
fer the individual producers in the
United States, who will have to pay
additional taxes to make up the rev.
anues which the reciprocity bill seeks
to remit

Fire Prevention Congress.

1t is said that the State Fire Pro-
lection congress at st. Paul Tuesday
turned out to be a big affair and was
attended by fire experts from all parts
OF the country and In the gathering
were two authorities from over the
seas, one from France and one from
England, who happened to be near the
cities and made 1t point to attend.
A great deal of valuable information
relative to methods for preventing fires
was given by experts from all over the
country. The IRE loss in the United
States Is enormous and large per-
centage Of 1t 10 due to careIessness
and Is absolutely inexcusable. Gov
ernor Hberhart presented q table at
the congress, showing that the fire loss
In the United States last year was
1920 per capita, whereas in England it
was only AZ cents, In France only 81
cents and in Germany only 10 cents.

Chicago. Nov. 10.-sSentiment among
the corn trade is mixed. A number of
the shipping houses are bullish and
the spectators bearish. Neither side
was able to make much Roadway yes
terday although the bulls had the best
OF ii in December while the bears were
ahead In May and July at theclose.
There were 175 cars of new corn on
the market and there is a disposition
to even up the difference between old
and new. old corn is off cents
since Saturday. The trade Is looking
for colder weather which will harden
the roads and increase offerings of
new corn. Bulls argued that lowest
prices are frequently made at this
season. while bears maintain that
with low prices Is to is cents higher
than last year, all the bullish condi-
tions have been discounted. 1t is
claimed by some of the bulls that the
time TO buy corn will be later In the
season, when the full effect of the
movement Of new corn is on. Some of
the commission houses which have
been buIlish are bearish and advo
