Wilson Cuts Out Inaugural Ball

Washington, Jan. 17.-Washing-
ton society is still gasping today over
President-elect Woodrow Wilson S
request for the abolishment of the
Inauguration ball. The large indi-
rect expense upon the government
was Wilson's reason for asking the
omission of the usual big function.
William Eustic, chairman of the
inaugural committee, and to whom
Wilson's request was directed, is ad-
mittedly nonplussed over the situa-
tion. AS Washington merchants had
subscribed $4,000 to help cover the
expense, he called meeting of the
committee this afternoon to consider
the matter.
1t is suggested as a way out o.
the difficulty that an informal recep
ton be held.

INDIANS AT INAUGURAL.
Big Chiefs to Go to Washington for
Ceremony.

Big chiefs from practically every
Indian tribe in the northwest will
journey to Washington, D. c., in
March to participate, as representa-
tives of North American Indians, in
the presidential inaugural parade
and ceremonies.
In the delegation will be chiefs
wearing the gaudy native costumes;
others will be clad in garments of
the latest cut. There will be several
Indians who count their lands and
other wealth up to quarter million
dollars each. One at least is a di-
rector of two banks in eastern Ore
gon. He is Joe Craig of Pendleton,
secretary of the brotherhood.
State Senator Harvey II. Phipps of
Spokane, counsel for the Brother
hood of North American Indians, will
have charge of arrangements for the
trip, though he himself will be un-
able to go on account of the legisla-
tive sessions. "Bu. these Indians are
quite able to look out for them
selves" said Senator Phipps. Many
were in Washington with me in No
vember, 1911, when 116 members of
the organization called on President
Taft.
Rather than experiencing diff

tion of Indians" he continued, I'VE
may have to place limit on the
number to attend, as nearly all the
leading men of the various tribes
will want to go to Washington to see
the new president.
Among the Indians suggested by
Senator Phipps as likely to attend
with their tribes designated, are the
following: Saluskia, the original
Yakima chief, now over 80 years old
and George Waters, Lancaster Spen.
Ger and Alex Tieo, also Yakimas; Nc

clares the report of the United

The earth has produced it's greatest

ed not the human controversies, but
kept in cooperation with the farm

duction. The man behind the plow

THE FARMERS AND CORNERS.

The United States supreme court
having laid down the principle that
corners in food, clothing material,
ETC., are in violation of the United
States law, it remains to be seen
whether the spectators can continue
to gamble with the poor mans loaf
of bread and cotton nightshirt as the
stakes.
While public sentiment is very
generally against corners, some
rather plausible arguments in their
favor have always been advanced. 1t
is said that they enable the farmers
to get more for their cotton and
grain, and that they prevent foreign
countries from getting our crop sup
plies at low prices.
But does the farmer get the bene-
fit of corners?
What is the farmer doing when
the storms of financial frenzy, re-
sulting from attempts to corner the
market, break loose on the produce
exchanges?
The history of these flurries shows
that the corner rarely happens until
the farmer has disposed of most of
his crop. In the big attempts to cor
ner the wheat market in 1909 it was
claimed that but 21 per cent of the
grain remained in the farmers
hands.
The farmer, pretty thoroughly i'm
pregnated with that ancient maxim
of cold prudence, Let well enough
alone" When he sees the bulls
pushing the price of his produce up
to skyrockety figures, does he hustle
down to the telegraph office and
wire his agents to take a moderate
profit? Rarely, so far as the inform
alton of this writer goes.
His instinct under such circum-
stances would seem to tell him to let
the good work go on. He watches
| the operations of the brokers much
as he watches the beneficent action
of the rain and the sun on his fields,
with the feeling that there is moth
ing he can do to interfere with any
benefit to himself. He waits, hoping
for still higher prices.
The history of these speculations
suggests that the farmer does not
usually sell until prices begin to
waver and drop. By the time that
his order gets in the psychological
moment has passed, and much less is
realized than could have been OBJ
tanned a short time previous.
The great objection to corners is
not merely that they raise the price
to the consumer, but that they dis
courage the weaker mills and fac
tories from buying raw material
leading to a general stoppage of man
ufacturing and milling.
