MISS q MISTAKE.

A month ago, had almost any we'll
Informed man been asked the name
Of the greatest living woman, a large
majority would have unhesitatingly
replied-Miss Jane Adams Of the Hull
house, Chicago.
No ON had a wider admiration
or enjoyed higher respect. Her ILL
advised activities in behalf of Colonel
Roosevelt has caused a forfeiture of
some Of the esteem in which she is
held.
Miss Adams was a national charac-
ter. She was doing a great and for
~tunately a congenial work. There was
nothing partisan or selfish in her ca
rec and she was a dignifed character.
She fell in popular esteem when she
became a partisan-and rushed into
the political muss. 1t was not that she
had no right to mix in politics, unclean
and otherwise. 1t was that the public
has been disappointed at her weakness.
She has gained nothing by her excur-
sion into politics-but on the other
hand has forfeited that high niche in
the affections Of many people which
she formerly held unchallenged-as a
reward for her notable good deeds.

direct consumptive channels. What
little accumulation resulted was more
than Offset by the heavy decreases in
spring wheat stocks so that since July
20, the beginning of free southwest
creased less than 2s0,00a bushels ON
pared with 13,600,0 900 bushels for the
same period last year.
The spring wheat marketing will, OF
course, soon begin 70 enlarge and ac-
cun1ulate at the terminals, but spring
wheat miliers have already sold -four
that win run into millions Of bushels
of wheat which should absorb a good
proportion Of the early receipts. The
building UP OF reserves in the winter
wheat markets has been slow because
OF a broad commercial demand and It is
quite probable that the same thing will
happen in the northwest.
Intermittent rains In the three spring
wheat states have delayed field work
N a prolonged wet spell would re-
suit in a deferred movement of wheat
to market. All stocks Of wheat in the
public terminal elevators are less than
LOCO, 900 bushels and the amount avail
able on contract delivery is less than
100000 bushels.
The large crop in the northwest has
a big legitimate commercial demand
awaiting 1t. Much Of 1t has already
been contracted for in sales Of -four
for delivery the next four and 1--WE
months so that statistics of supply are
less Oppressive when the volume Of the
demand is taken into consideration.
