Bumper Wheat Harvest Expected.

On June I the indicated wheat crop
was z44oooooo bushels. If the yield
shall be up to the present government
forecast it will be one of the real
bumper harvests for this country. But
great as the crop appears to be, il has
not kept pace with the population. The
farm product of the United States
does not match in growth the num-
Der of persons to be fed
This, in fact, is the great secret OF
the high cost of all food supplies in
America. The quantity does not in
crease nearly so fast as the popula-
ton. The value of farm products grows
greater each year, and in 1912 exceeded
S9ooo,oooooo. But the large money
value was due more to the extremely
high price for produce than to the
great quantity of it
Each year the Americans eat a larger
proportion of all the things this coun-
try grows, and have a smaller proper
ton to export At the present rate
OF this tendency it will not be long be-
fore cotton will be the only important
agricultural article which the United
States will have to sell to the Old
World. American labor and ingenuity
can be dedicated to no more worthy
cause than the further exploitation of
the American farm.

Aerial Passenger Traffic.

Count Zeppelin, with twenty pas
sengers, has completed flight in the
airship Sachsen from Baden-Baden tc
Vienna, a distance of 40 English
miles, which was accomplished in eight
hours.
So far as safety and comfort are
concerned, the dirigibles thus far hold
a far better record than the aeroplanes
The roll of death from aeroplane cas-
ualties exceeds $50. while the injuries
that did not result fatally, would make
a three times longer list
Relatively speaking, dirigible is as
safe as house TO its occupants. There
have been accidents to dirigibles, ac-
companied by loss Of life, but their
number has been small by comparison.
The collapse of the gasholder of an
airship about year ago at Atlantic
City while starting on fight and the
explosion, in mid-air, of a German
dirigible a few months earlier. caused
nearly all the deaths for which this
class of air craft can be held respon-
sible.

Lawn tents, which is once more begin
ming TO infest this country after a disap-
pearance of many years. is a dainty
game, in which two or four men. who are
strong enough to spend their time In or
ganizing a new trust. kill bright after
moon by batting a harmless ball across a
net.
The men do this with the aid of rae
quets and duck pants. A racquet
is a wooden hoop with a handle
on the end and strung with gut. Duck
pants are a corruption of the ordinary
trousers, which are white for nineteen
seconds after use. They serve to register
the number of times their owner falls
down on the sole green grass while trying
to reach a ball eleven feet away.
Lawn tennis Is a very foolish game, be-
cause at the end Of hard afternoon the
ball is just where II was-in the begin
ming, and nothing has changed but the
white duck pants. When a strong farm
er, with barnacles on his neck and wrists
like the ankles of a Missouri mule
watches a few city dudes chasing fuzzy
ball with enlarged fly swatters and shout
ing love ALL '1ove-fifteen' and other
Mormonistic expressions. he cannot con-
ceal his scorn and he never tries to.
Lawn tennis looks so easy that hundreds
of total strangers take It up with the in
tention of driving the ball through some
personal friend on the other side of the
net. 1t looks as easy as politics does to
the patriot who has the people behind
him. but II Is just as deceptive. II would
be easy enough II a man only had to be
in one place at time. But the man who
can't be on both sides Of the court At the

Make Rock Creek Park Accessible.

The law creating the public utilities
commission gives that body the power
to order new lines of street railways
when such construction shall be deemed
necessary for public convenience.
Under these circumstances, the COM
mission should Immediately take steps
to make Rock Creek Park accessible
to the public, There is magnificent
area OF stream and woodland on the
outermost edge of the city which can
now be enjoyed only by the compare
tive few who own automobiles or We
hicles. The extension OF already ex-
listing lines, at a minimum of cost,
would give to the public an opportu-
nifty to frequent the park. Ii was never
intended that the use of the park
should be restricted to the favored
few
The commission cannot undertake
any more popular or useful work than
planning how Rock Creek Park can be
made accessible. Its engineers have
the ability TO perfect the plans and it
has ample authority TO order their ex-
ecution. Let the work begin at once.

impossible for the President to complete

Manners and Manners.

If the writer had rot been an eve

believe that ill-manners could be car
ried TO such disgusting extent in this
city. This is the tale:
1t was in a Georgetown car, one OF
the lately installed through cars. which
run from the Patent Office through the
city and then up Wisconsin Avenue TO
the District line. The car was flied,
this line always being in demand. There
was a sprinkling of giggling young
girls, returning home from a shopping
expedition; a number of our high
school and other cadets; the usual
quota of busy men, &c. The seats
were all occupied, but the aisle con-
tanned only few strap-hangers. Hence
the solitary man leaning against the
front door was in full view of every
body. As far as the writer could
notice, they saw him one and all, for
the looks and continued giggling be-
trayed the nIanners-or rather the lack
of manners-of some.

Need Of Tariff Information.

Wisdom was never more completely
justified by her works than in the case
of the recent tariff board. 1t is an
open secret on Capitol Hill that many
Democratic legislators regard its re-
ports as the only authoritative and un-
prejudicial source of information on
wool and cotton schedules. The fact
that the board was the object of much
bitter attack by the Democrats for
partisan reasons before the election
alone Restraints them from using it
openly in defense of their rates. The
tariff makes very good political talk.
= / As long as the politician confines
himself to generalities he gets along
very well; but tariff making is very
prosaic work, and requires the most
constant, nervc-racking application to
facts and figures. A party in the mi
nority usually deals in generalities; the
party in the majority, feeling its re-
sponsibility, hungers after facts. No
group of men realize more than the
Democrats in the Senate the need of
a permanent tariff commission. The
Republicans before them could at least
rely on the manufacturers for infor-
nation, but they can use the informa-
ton thus furnished only in so far as it
contains declarations against interest.
Democrats will now even admit that
statistics of difference in cost OF pro-
duction may be OF benefit in framing
a revenue tariff, since the point of
maximum revenue cannot be deter
mined without them. The work of Mr..
Emery and the other members OF the
tariff board was not in vain It's work
convinced even its enemies that a per-
manent board or bureau, furnishing
tariff information, is absolutely essen
tial in the just administration of a
government as complex as ours

grand vizier of Turkey. who was assas-
sinated with his military aid outside OF the
Sublime Court building, was buried today
with all the rites of the MosIem faith.
Over twenty arrests were made through
out the night and today. the majority of
the prisoners being soldiers. Most of
them are members of the military league
with which the late Maxim Pasha, war
minister and commander in chief, stood
very highly.
II is now regarded as a certainty that
Turkish reactionaries committed. the
murder in revenge for the killing of
Maxim Pasha by young Turks last win
ter.
Turkey is left without a leader at a
critical moment. 1t has long been rec
ognized that Mahmud Shevket Pasha was
the real power behind the throne, and
that, while Mehmed V, the Sultan, was
the nominal head OF the government, the
fiery young Turk grand vizier exercised
all the sway of a military dictator.

CONTRACTORS AT BANQUET.
Sheet Metal Workers Hold Animal
Dinner mt National Hotel,

Three hundred delegates to the ninth
annual convention of the National Asso-
citation of Sheet Metal Contractors met
around the festive board at the National
Hotel last night. The banquet is held
annually in connection with the conven-
ton. Speeches were made by prominent
delegates.
Means for protecting themselves against
small and irresponsible contractors was
discussed in the morning. Some Of the
delegates cited that manufacturers of
sheet metal products injure business by
supplying goods on credit to any person
who claims to be a contractor and Of
fers to begin work. 1t was pointed out
that such tactics injure established bust
nesses.
W. J. II. Boetcker, of the Industrial
Association. of Toledo. Ohio, delivered
an address and G. +. Ahlbrandt of the
American Rolling Company. spoke on the
manufacture of sheets and plates. The
official picture of the delegates was taken
on the steps of the Capitol in the after
noon.

Col. Goethals and His Promise.

Col. Goethals, who should be best en-
titled to speak concerning Panama,
says that the canal will be fully opened
on January 1, 1915. The public may
accept his word as true. That is the
schedule date set long ago, and Col.
Goethals has a habit of keeping up
with the schedule. We all known this.
The statement that a vessel may be
put through experimehtally October IS,
of this year, also is according to
schedule, and it is gratifying to know
that in this respect also the colonel
will live up to his agreement. AT that
time only one set of locks will be
completed, but the incident will ex-
hibit the practical working of the sys-
TEN by which the traffic of the canal
is to be handled.
The suggestion has been made that
the first vessel should go through be-
tween September IS and 20, those be-
ing the dates on which Balboa re-
spectively sighted and reached the Pa
cihc four centuries ago. That would
be a welcome achievement if it were
possible, but, of course, sentiment i'll

CHINDA
TAKES UP LADEW CASE

Baron Chinda, the japanese Ambassa-
dor. has asked his government for a
statement concerning the detention of the
American yacht Columbia at Waka-
yama, a closed port of Japan.
| Ambassador Chinda took advantage Of
the regular diplomatic day TO pay his re-
spects TO Secretary of State Bryan yester-
day and each conveyed to the other the
information that he had no official report
on the subject. Neither appeared TO be
greatly perturbed and IL does not appear
likely that the incident will result in any
diplomatic correspondence between the
two governments.
At the japanese Embassy il was said
that a vessel OF any nationality entering
a closed port would be similarly detained,
pending an investigation as to the pur-
pose of the vessel entering such a port.
II is thought here that II the Columbia

would waive the prohibition against en-
tering a port not opened to foreign COM
merce.
The State Department has not received
any complaint from anyone representing
the owners of the vessel
The matter is not an important one"
said Mr. Bryan yesterday. since it is
evident the Columbia entered a port TO
which she had no right to go. The
trouble should be adjusted easily. II
is not a matter for communication be-
tween the two governments
Senator Bacon. chairman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee. said:
"I cannot see any phase of this mat
ter as it has so far been reported in the
newspapers which would lead to inter-
national complications. Wakayama was
closed to foreigners. and the Japanese
had to make the arrest in order to en-
force their laws Personally, I do not
think that the Foreign Relations Com
mittee will be called upon to take any
action in the matter. although, as yet.
I am familiar with it only through news
paper reports"
Representative Henry d. Flood, chair
man of the House Committee on For
eign Affairs, said there would be an
investigation if Ladew had been treated
unfairly Flood said he would call on
the State Department for all the par
ticulars of the case.

BOMB AND POLITICAL
RIOT KILL MANY
Lisbon the Scene Of Anarchist and
Royalist Outbreaks, with Heavy
Loss of Life.

Lisbon, Portugal, June L.-Many per-
sons were killed outright today and
numerous others were nnangled when an
anarchist threw bomb into civic
procession which was passing through
the streets. The parade was part OF a
celebration being held by Republicans.
Many others were injured in a panic
which attended a subscription perfor-
nance given at a theater for the aid of
numerous political prisoners recently
arrested in a series of anti-government
uprisings Most of the foreign diplomats
were at the theater. which was crowded
with spectators when a number of men
began firing revolvers. A stampede fol-
lowed in which many were knocked
down and trampled under foot. A troop
Of cavalry surrounded the building and
arrested many royalist sympathizers.
