TWAS A FROST

The most severe frost of the season

the enthusiasm that was uncorked,
the greeting of the "Hamm Special"
of a few days before, was as summer
as compared with winter, and there
wasn't any enthusiasm to burn then,
either.
The train financed by the interests

there was inside. The Herald repre-

Washington. the sister state to the
north, granted women the right to vote
1t the last election and this fact was
expected to have had an important
influence.
The states that are now committed
to suffrage are California, Colorado.
Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Washington,
Arizona and Kansas.
The defeat of the cause in Wiscon-
sin did not come as surprise. 1t was
reported that the brewing interests
were working against it and also that
the German farmers, who poll heavy
vote, had been urged to oppose the
proposition.
One cause is universally given as
the reason for the result in Wisconr
sin. The German and Scandinavian
populations, conservative always,
could not per persuaded to abandon
the old teutonic ideal Of the woman
as the home-maker alone. n -.
The German-American alliance took
IN active part in the campaign against
suffrage. Its work was done quietly,
but thoroughly. Scores of suffrage
speakers had invaded the state
months before the election The work
IF these speakers was largely nulli-
fed by the declarations OF the alliance
to its members. The league forbade
It's members to become involved in pO-
Iitical strife.
Interest in the suffrage amendment
was not particularly keen in Kansas,
fewer than two-thirds Of the voters
taking the trouble 10 mark their bal
lots either for or against it. Those
who did vote for it were oyerwhelm-
sngly in favor of it. however. The
estimated majority. is n excess of
5000.
Interest was much keener in Arizona.
Every important precinct in the state
returned a substantial majority for
the suffrage amendment
Suffrage leaders in Michigan were
hopeful of victory. An active cam
paign had been INDUCED in and the
chances of success were bright.
The influence of women in politics
was felt to large degree in Chicago.

New York, Aug. IA general in
vestigation into police graft in all its
phases is to be undertaken by the ex
traordinary session of the supreme
court presided over by Justice Goff.
who has been designated by Governor
Dix to sit in the trials of Police
Lieutenant Becker and others charged
with the murder of Gambler Herman
Rosenthal. The news that the su-
preme court would conduct a grand
jury investigation with Justice Goff
having full power to compel testi-
mony, caused panic in the UNDER
world today and many gamblers and
others hurried out of the city. 1t has
been supposed that the appointment
of Justice Golf was only for the pur-
pose of trying the Rosenthal murder
cases, but it leaked out that the su-
preme court would begin a John Doe
inquiry that would delve into the in
ermost relations between the police
and the disorderly houses. Under the
John Doe roc.edings Justice Goff can
call the gamblers and keepers Of dis
orderly houses and force them to tell
how much money was paid for police
protection and to whom the money
was paid.
The aldermanic inquiry. it is expect
ed, will cooperate with the work of
the supreme court. Evidence is in the
hands OF District Attorney Whitman
that the disorderly houses in the city
paid more than $1.o00,o0o for police
protection during the last year and
that this money went to certain police

Der as follows: 1.-THE grain raised on
a farm in Iowa may be shipped to
three different points Minneapolis,
Chicago or Kansas City. The rules of
grading in Minneapolis for a certain
grade of grain would require that il
weigh a given number Of pounds per
measured bushel, contain a certain
percentage of a particular kind of
grain and possess a certain color. Tho
Chicago rule for determining the same
grade will differ considerably from the
Minneapolis standard and the Kansas
City standard will he different from
that of the others.
Now, as the price of grain is de-
pendent solely upon the grade it re-
ceives. this same grain would have
three different values placed upon i,
at these three terminals. These div
ers systems open up an immense field
for manipulation in grades. which AL
ways works to the detriment of the
producer.
"Practically all grain passes through
one or more of the great terminal
markets before reaching the consum-
er, and its value is fiNed by the grade
placed upon it at these terminals I'm
der the present system the parties in
interest as purchasers at the great
terminals dominate and control all
rules governing the handling of grain
its inspection and grading. That such
rules should be in the interest of the
terminal purchasers. under such a sys-
tenn. is not surprising.
The appointment of inspectors and
fixing of grades are under the control
of the board of trade. The relation
between the inspection and grading
power and the purchasing interest is
most close and intimate. Appeals
from the decision of inspectors are al
most invariably taken to hoard Of
appeals composed of persons either
directly or indirectly interested in the
purchase of grain.
Grade Lost to Producer.
That the inspection and gradine
departments of these great terminals
are suhservient to and dominated by
the great elevator interests is estah-
lished beyond question. AS a result
of this domination and control there
has grown up what is known as sys.
tenn Of rigid and easy inspection-that
is. rigid inspection into the elevator
and easy inspection out. This enables
| the terminal elevators To buy in the
grain, generally at a grade less thar
it's true grade, mix 1t With other in
ferior grain, and sell the same out al
a grade higher than the true grade
thereby making the value of two
grades.
