A Last Resort.

Some days ago a young woman call
ed at the house Of prominent doctor
and after discoursing on all the topics
of interest Of the day settled down to
tell him her ailments Among other
things, she said that she was greatly
troubled by sinking feeling"
The doctor prepared a little bottle of
medicine and gave 1t to her with mi
mute directions as to how 1t should be
taken. The woman began to talk, but
at length, after many vain efforts on
his part to get rid Of her, made for the
door. She had just opened 1t when she
turned and said:
"Oh, doctor, what shall l do II this
medicine does not cure me?"
Take the cork" he retorted. "They
say that's good for a sinking feeling"

There Is no shortage in the fooG
supply In this country. In fact, the
war has prevented the shipment OF
foodstuffs to other countries, thereby
increasing the supply on hand. And
yet in the face of this overwhelming
fact the men in control of the mar
kets i'm the large centers of popula-
ton have been forcing prices up by
leaps and bounds, and there appears
to be no end to their Unsuitable greed.
1t is no more nor less than case
OF gouge, a holdup, ROBBERY, the mean

least able to afford 1t. 1t is time for

The Meaning Of "PiocadiIIN.n

Piccadllly, In London, was so called
from Piccadilly hall. the chief depot of
certain sort of lace much In vogue
during the reign of Queen Elizabeth.
The lace was called Piccadilly lace
from its little spear points, a dimnu-
tive of "tica,' pike or spear. In the
reign of James |. the high ruff was
called piccadilly, though Invested Of
Its lace edging.
"Glossographia," published in 1851,
states that "Piccadilly was named
from Higgins famous ordinary near
St James, called Higgins Piccadilly,
because he made his money by selling

Taylor, writes, "Piccadilly so called

crease, no matter how the war fare.
Not only will the Pacific coast states
prosper, but the whole region west Of
line drawn from st. Paul to New
Orleans is likely to expand. Many
cities already have profted. OF course
those nearer the seaboard feel the
effects more quickly. But even the

SAY DRESDEN MUST
FIGHT OR SURRENDER

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 15.-It is
reported that two British cruisers in
the strait of Magellan, off Punta
Arenas, is waiting for the German
cruised Dresden when it emerges.
British has cut the communication
from Falkland and most of the wire
less reports come from ro-German
sources. These say that two British
vessels have indicated their intention
of not respecting Chilean neutrality
and declare that the Dresden must
come out and fight or surrender. 1t
is reported that Chile is taking ac-
ton to maintain neutrality, and will
protest if the Dresden is attacked
within the three-mile limit.
The captain of the Dresden says
the British fleet participating in the
Falkland battle included two battle
cruisers of invincible type and the de-
fense cruisers Carnarvon, Cornwall,
Essex, Glasgow, Defense and Bristol.

PANAMA CANAL BENEFITS.

There is ample reason why San
Francisco should be enthusiastic over
a celebration of the completion of
the Isthmian canal. The beneficial
results are already marked in that
Pacific sea coast town.
With the canal little more than
opened for traffic the Golden Gate
city Immediately began to feel the
effects and in October the city's ex-
pors business was double that Of the
corresponding month of one year ago.
The figures have just been given Of
fetal promulgation at Washington.
While commerce generally from Unit
ed States ports showed decline in
October, 1914, from October, 1913,
San Francisco pushed ahead. It's to-
tai foreign shipments last month
were valued at $10,99O,234. In addi-
ton, San Francisco sent $685. ,134
worth of goods to New York city. All
the New York cargoes and s3,046,9
of the foreign commerce passed
through the Panama canal, England
taking practically all of the latter
business. Canal revenue from the
greater portion of this business would
have been lost had there been coast
wise exemption. 1t is said that much
of the New York business was des-
tined for trans-shipment abroad.
II development continues at the
same rate, San Francisco may, in the
course of decade rival New Yorv
as an export city. But San Fran
cisco is not the only Pacific port to
beneft. Already the commerce of San
Diego, Portland, Seattle and the many
smaller points has increased. San
Diego and Los Angeles--the latter
through it's ports at San Pedro-are
certain to benefit, though perhaps
r,cre slowly. The majority of the
October shipments from San Fran
cisco consisted of breadstuffs. Port
land and Seattle are the shipping
points for the great finland empire"
of Washington, Oregon and Idaho.
San Francisco and San Diego offer
shipping facilities for the wheat, fruit
and lumber which the coast region
produces. The salmon packing indus
try is favorably affected, the San
Francisco export figures showing ST.
00o0C0 worth Of such food.
This business growth Is primarily
due to the canal and secondarily to
the UNEQUAL situation abroad. But the
steady demand Is expected to In

THE STRIKE IN THE CREssoN.

Cripple Creek comes to the front
with an old-fashioned gold strike. A
single carload of ore, weighing 80
tons is now on its way from the
mine to Denver, and it is reported
that its value will reach 81 ,OOO,0 900.
This is said to be the richest carload
Of ore ever shipped.
The indication of the richness of
Cclorado's natural treasures is most
impressive and it comes at a time
when it cannot fail to be of value to
the state. 1t will be taken, and it
ought to be taken as conclusive
proof that the mineral wealth of Colo
RADIO is by no means exhausted. If
there are better fish in the sea than
have ever been caught, so there are
better mines in the mountains of this
state than have ever been developed.
When such well-known and we'll
prospected district as Cripple Creek
comes to the front with discovery
ct ore that not only beats its own
record, but stands at the top of the

THE PASSING OF BEvERIpGE.

1t is sometimes the case that the
newspapers are somewhat premature
in writing political obituaries. This
may prove to be true in the case of
Albert j. Beveridge of Indiana, but
it will have to be admitted that it
really looks as though the silver
tengued defender of MARY in the
vlne-clad cottage" from the Hoosier
commonwealth would have to be
classified among the down-and- d-outs,
remarks the Des Moilnes Capital.
1t is onething to be eternally in
conflict with your own party and
retain nominal affiliations Herewith:
IT is another thing TO become in
volved in open rupture, sever rela-
ticnship end then attempt to secure
standing therein again as seeker
after office.
beveridge is man of recognized
ability He has had capacity for
.ocnsii -ctive craftsmanship when he
wanted to exercise it. No one has
ever Questioned his power as an ora
'er. Bot these are factors which can
be RAPIDLY discounted by line of
offensive conduct.
bcberidge was not content to fight
for the reforms in which he professed
belief within the lines of his own
farty. His method of cleaning the
house was not by renovation and
iuinigation, but by destroying the en-
tie structure. The signal manner in
which Mr.. Beveridge has failed in
his purpose is one of the tragic phases
cf current political history.
Even the Indiana newspapers
which have not agreed with him are
admitting that had Mr.. Beveridge
kept his head he would have un-
dou.tedly been named as the logical
successor of Senator Shivxely. His
third place run as the Bull Moose
candidate for the United States SEN
ate in the recent campaign has plac-
ed cloud upon his political record
which it is very doubtful he can ever
overcome.
There are other things which have
Semi-weekly herald., 1914-12-17

tended to Mr.. Beveridge's undoing.
One Of the most vital is touched upon
by the st. Louis Globe Democrat in
the following language:
The failure of Mr.. Beveridge
in public life may be ascribed to
personal vanity. This was the
reason for his unpopularity with
his colleagues in the senate. No
one questioned his ability, either
as thinker, an orator or con-
structive legislator. He was
prodigious worker. He had
thought current problems out as
few senators had. But he de-
lighted in tripping up his col
leagues and in playing to the gal
leries. He was what the school
boys would call Smart Alec.
There are many lessons from the
political career of Albert J. Beveridge
which the ambitious young man Of to.
day can study with profit.
Tom Reed was one of the very few
mon who could be cynical, taciturr
or even caustic with his colleagues OF
political supporters and get by with
the performance. Reeds overshad-
owing intellectually was the element
which saved him.
