Barley Market Ma, i AZ
fected BY Decision K
Mixture Containing Screenings Must
Not Be Sold For ''Feed Barley
In the Future

Grain dealers in all parts Of the Unit
ed States can no longer mix screenings
and barley and sell the productas ''feed
barley" The government has handed
down a decision which grain dealers as
sert directs vital blow at the barley
market of the Northwest.
They say this decision will make alb
eolutely imperative a decrease in the
price of barley and screenings. As
proof, they point to decrease of about
$4 per ton on screenings and of six and
eight cents a bushel on barley since
the investigation of the governments
charges against the grain companies
began. When the cars were seized the
federal officers acted with papers al
leging violation of the food and drugs
act prohibiting adulteration of feed
barley.
This was the decision: ''The govern
ment has seized certain shipments of
feed barley, alleging that weed seeds
were added to the barley, an adultera-
ton under the food and drugs act.
1T is recognized that barley in its
uncleaned condition may contain a
variable, usually small amount of con-
tamination in the form Of other grains,
weed seeds and foreign material. The
quantity of natural contamination per-
missible is being Investigated. How
ever, the addition Of adulterants will at
all times be regarded as violation of
the food and drugs act"
The last sentence of the decision
makes clear for all time the position
which must hereafter be maintained by
grain dealers in every part of the
country. The old practice Of mixing
screenings and barley must cease. This
mixing has been common among dealers
in barley for years. It has helped
greatly to hold up the market on screen
ings, barley and feed-barlev, the deal
ers say. r
The foreign market for the best grade
barley and feed barley is threatened,
according to the men who visited
Washington. European buyers through
out the present season have consistently
refused to purchase the best grade
barley. They asked for low grade
and, when offered better barley for
only two or three cents more bushel
than they were paying for the poorer
grain, they refused the higher priced
stock. Ss

such as to compel the three brother
Kingdoms to make common cause.


Kingdoms to make common cause.
Denmark, despoiled of Schleswig-
Holstein by Germany, fears her power
full neighbor. Sweden, which was
compelled to give up Finland to Russia,
watches the great white bear appre-
hensively. Norway, too, knows that
her icefree ports on the Atlantic are
coveted by Russia, whose westernmost
boundaries are but few miles away
from the sea. England is friendly to
all three of the kingdoms and there is
nothing to fear on that side.
Under the circumstances it is not
surprising to find the three kingdoms
recently concluding an agreement under
which each binds itself to enter into no
engagements, open or secret, with any
of the great powers. This announces
to the world the absolute neutrality of
Scandinavia. 1t serves notice on the
triple alliance and the triple entente
that Scandinavia refuses adherence to
either. While it is scarcely tantamount
to an alliance of Sweden, Denmark and
Norway, it paves the way to an ulti-
mate alliance-such an alliance as the
great Bjornstjerne Bjornson dreamed
of and prophesied. At any rate, the
three will present united front in
their foreign relations.
Under these circumstances a cele-
bration of the completion of a century
of peace in the north would be highly
appropriate. In America, where those
of Scandinavian birth long since buried
all feelings of hostility or jealously in
their common American citizenship,
such celebration could be held under
the happiest of auspices.

The Time Is Ripe

The verdict of Benjaman Ide Wheeler,
president of the University of Cali
fornia, that it is high time to drive the
Turks from Europe, will be generally
endorsed by the people of Christian
countries. ''In essence" says DR..
Wheeler, ''this war is struggle of the
freedom of the will, as represented by
European peoples, and the fatalism of
the Orient"
It must be evident to the Powers
that there can be no guarantee of per-
manent peace in Europe until the Turks
are driven out. Settlements and ad-
justments have been made with them
from time to time, but the trouble al
ways breaks out again. The turks
never keep their agreements. If they
do not evade them in one way they do
in another. The recent peace agree
ment, solemnly entered into by the
Turkish government, was overthrown
by overthrowing the government. The
mob that carried through the so-called
''coup-d-' 'etat" accomplished the work
so easily as to suggest premeditation.
A writer in a recent issue of The
Forum says that what Turkish rule
means when applied TO Salvic people
can best be understood by comparison.
During single generation of inde-
pendence Bulgaria has made more
progress in standards of living, industry,
commerce, administration Of justice,
including protection Of life, morals and
property, than had been made during
Avs centuries Of Turk rule. Dur
ing his five centuries Of rule over
portions of Europe not only has the
Turk not contributed anything to civil
lization, but he has not learned any
thing. While the rest Of the world has
moved ahead he has stood still.
If the Powers are too timid or too
mistrustful of each other, to unite now
to put an end to the clog upon pro-
gress and human freedom embodied in
the incumbus Of Turkish domination
over any portion Of Europe, they will
be only laying up larger store Of
future trouble for themselves. -Mpls.

A Century Of Peace

The proposed celebration next year
of . century Of peace between England
and the United States. recalls the fact
that the Scandinavian countries might
also celebrate similar centenary in
1914. A hundred years will then have
elapsed since the peace between Swed-
en-. Denmark and Norway has been
3bFsken. ~ .,s
Tie Napoleonic wars, which involved
all Europe, did not pass the kingdoms
of the north by. Bernadotte, one of
Napoleon's marshals, had established
himself in Sweden, where adoption by
. childless king had assured him sue
cession to the throne. He had quar-
relied with his old chief and had at
tached Sweden to the anti -Napoleonic
conbination. Denmark, on the other
hard, had allied herself with France.
Thus it happened, when peace came
finally to,be declared, after the defeat
Of France and her allies, thst Denmark
was forced TO cede Norway 70 Sweden.
Tho; Norwegians. however, resisted the
arrangement and succeeded in getting
their Eidsvold constitution recognized
and the act Of union with Sweden ap-
proved, whereby Norway had her own
government but under Sweden's king.
The peace thus arranged in Scandi-
navis hassendured . this dry and gives
every promise Of permanence. The
