GOOD. BUT NOT ENOUGH

HO ay! Uncle Sans wheat crop
this year promises to be 900, 600. 600
bushels
The biggest ever! HOoray!
But study bit. Have you any idea
what L means?
About 1sO.OOO.OOO bushels have to
be saved for seed.
Last year 9O,OOO.O0O bushels were
fed TO animals other than men. be-
cause under certain conditions wheat
is a better feed grain than corn. This
year some experts expect this use of
wheat TO double.
This leaves. in round numbers, 6OO.-
oO0,0 bushels for human consump-
ton, considerably less than two Ioaves
of bread a day for each American
mouth, with nothing for pies or cakes.
As a matter of fact, figuring roughly
the prospective wheat crop Of 1914,
a bumper yield though it promises to
be, will just about match the hunger
of the American people.
On an average they eat close to six
bushels of wheat year; and it's just
six bushels each that this bumper crop
will allow, counting out seed wheat
and wheat used for live stock feed.
Not such a glorious margin, is it.
between US and famine?
What are We going 10 do when, in
stead OF 100. 600 900 mouths to feed
we have 15O.OOO.OOO. 100000. 900. $780,

That may not be IN our day but il
won't be long as time is measured in
history.
Jim Hill Is right: we must raise
more wheat

THE FUTURIsT PHILANTHRoPIsT

Every man his own phiIanthropist,
or every person who can spare little
money may become a philanthropist.
is the suggestion conveyed by an Ev-
ansville mans gift for the benefit Of
animals
This philanthropist is Adolph Mel
ser, wealthy German who has given
away considerable money for philan-
thrOpic purpose, and as most OF his
gifts are of the same character he
may be said 10 represent the futurist
type OF public benefactoTs.
The gift IN point is one Of 81 900.
The money is 10 be placed in bank
and compounded at four per cent
semi-annually for two hundred and
fifty years At the end Of that period
the fund will amount 70 $4,000 600
Is occurs 10 US that Mr.. Melser has
vastly widened the possibilities for
philanthropy by the conception OF this
plan OF accumulation. There are many
charitably inclined people who have
the desire but not the means as meas
ured by the common aoceptation of
the term to become philanthropists.
Mr.. Melser has opened the way The
person with any sum OF money, how
ever large or small TO spare may be-
come a philanthropist. The smallest
coin Of the republic, cent, If given
time and interest will eventually run
into thousands and millions of dol
lars.
The common desire is TO help the
present. but that being impossible with
a small gift why not help the future =?
Much as we Of the present day boast
Of the progress OF civilization the past
teaches US that the world Of the future
will be easily identified as the world
OF the present. Human needs do not
greatly change from one century to
another There will always be wealth
and want, sympathy and prejudice.
kindness and cruelty.
When the giver OF the small sum

process comes to his death bed he may
die with the satisfaction Of having
done as much for the world as the
northumberland who floods the pres
ent with his benefactiOns.r

might apply as TO extreme and radical
treatment for the reason that the con-
ditions are so bad that resort TO the
heroic may be necessary. but the pur-
pose is TO preserve the life Of the in
terest while removing its power for
harm TO the public at large
The News-Times recently gave its
readers quite a comprehensive idea OF
the ramifications of the shippins trust
and its relations with the railroads.
From this it could be understood that
what had been originally a means OF
competition has been converted into
an aid to monopoly. Cheap water
rates have become a joke. The rail-
roads dictate what shall be shipped
by water and what by rail and what
the cost shall be. Competition is dead
because 1t has been killed.

A NOTABLE CAREER.

Adlai +. Stevenson was one of those
American citizens who by native abili-
~ and attainments are qualified for
positions OF great responsibility.
Though he did not rise TO the highest
position within the gift of the peO-
pie and perhaps was not just the
quality known as presidential timber
he was recognized as man of large
abilities.
Though a native of Kentucky Mr.
Stevenson became a resident Of Illi-
nOis at the age of seventeen. He was
educated at Centre college, Kentucky.
and admitted TO the bar in 1857. at the
age of twenty-five. He became a
master in chancery three years later.
district attorney in 1855, a member of
the forty-fourth and forth-sixth con-
crosses. and in 1SS and in 1892 was
delegate TO the democratic national
convention.
In 1885 he was appointed first
assistant postmaster general under
Cleveland and in 1892 was elected to
the vice presidency He was renOm-
mated for that position in 1900 but de-
feated, and for governor Of Illinois in
1908. In 1897 Mr. Stevenson was a
member of the commission sent TO
Europe TO secure International BIZ

SIGNALS" PLUS "SPEED-LIMITS."
The suggestion of Mayor Keller that
signals be erected at streets crossed by
the South Shore lines deserves COM
mendation.
Any signals that Will tend to prevent
accidents to the public should be
placed on the crossings.
There is. however, one remedy
which the mayor apparently overlooks
and which might tend to lessen the
danger at Olive street crossing as
well as at other crossings in the city.
That would be clear cut, straight
forward enforcement Of the speed laws
relative to interurban railways. II
would not require the services of a
private detective agency TO secure evil
