Nervousness and a Higher Cost Of
Living

In view of the fact that it is
pretty generally conceded by all
authorities that there is no ade-
quate basis whatever for the sud
den rise in the price of foodstutfs,
President Wilson's Inauguration
of a vigorous investigation to
determine the causes operating
to produce this sudden advance,
if successful, will probably un-
cover the operations of some of
the meanest type of criminal,
humanity has thus far been able
to produce.
For many years, the exporta-
tons of foodstutfs from the
United States has been steadily
declining, until at the present
time she stands fourth in the
list of grain exporting countries.
1t has been a matter of several
decades since she fed Europe,
that operation now being per
formed largely by Argentine, In
dia, Russia and Canada. This
years wheat crop in the United
States is a record breaker and
no attention seems to have been
paid by spectators to this fact.
And in addition, the statement
comes from authoritative sources
that the English army is pro-
visioned for six months and the
belligerents on the continent for
at least a year. Add to this the
strong probability that the war
in Europe will not last year on
anything like the proportions the
struggle is now assuming, and
the fact that until the question
of naval supremacy is decided
the exportat on Of wheat is going
to prove costly and risky beyond
all precendent, it would take quite
a pessimist to see any strong rea-

Taking No Chances

One of the shrewd lairds of
Lanarkshire had evidently ex-
perienced the difficulties of COL
Letting money lent to friends.
Laird" a neighbor accosted
him one morning, Il need twen-
ty pounds, If yen be guild
enough to TAX ma note, yell hae
yere money back agin in three
months frae the day"
Nae, Donald replied the
laird, Il Gamma do it. E"
But, laird, We hae often done
the like fer yere friends.
Nae, mon, | Gamma obleege
ye."
But: laird"
will We listen to me, Donald
AS soon as | took yere note ye'd
draw the twenty poonds, would
We no."
Donald could not deny that he
would.
Il ken we weel, Donald" the
laird continued, land | ken that
in three months ye'd nae be
ready topay me ma money. Then,
We ken, we'd quarrel. But il
we're to quarrel, Donald, I'd

son for the price of wheat ad-
vancing.
That it has done so, has been
almost entirely due to specula-
tons by unprincipled and unpa-
triotic men, made at the psyche
logical moment, when excitement
and nervousness over the pros
pect of a general European war
had reached it's climax in this
country.
There is no valid excuse for
the rise in price of single com
modify except those few which
we have been importing from
Europe. 1t cannot be doubted
for an instant that when once
this country has become accus-
toned to the European situation
and the curtailment of all impor-
tations to a marked degree, con-
fldence will be restored, appre-
hension in financial circles will
be Quoted and the general re-
suit of the European conflict in
this country will not be harmful.
With the field cleared of etfec-
tive European competition, man
ufacturers in this country should
be enabled to sell goods extern
sively in South America and the
Far East. No sane American,
of course, can view with any
thing approaching complacency,
the desolation and destruction
now ravaging Europe, but there
is no reason in the world for any
feeling of alarm.
The most serious phase of the
whole affair is the cotton situa-
alton. Unquestionably European
demand for United States cotton
will be practically nil until Eng
land has obtained the complete
mastery of the seas, but things
are not as dark as they have
been pictured even along this
line. Thirty days ago, Ameri-
can manufacturers were alarmed
on account of the shortage of the
crop and it was quite generally
feared that there would not be
enough to go around. With COM
petition from Europe cut off it
stands to reason that takings by
American mills will be larger this
fall than ever. Add to this the
fact that the whole financial
machinery of the United States
Government is working to de-
wise some plan whereby the eX-
cess cotton can be held back
from market and the acreage of
the next crop materially reduc-
ed, the situation is deciddly
more cheerful. The valorization
plan suggested by Mr.. Hugh
McRae, of Wilmington, looks
very practical and it is extreme
" probable that some action
similar to that suggested by him
will be taken by the govern
ment.

And still the sentiment for a
Statewide Primary Law for all

that a few of the obstacles now
