IN EMOCRATlC newspapers have
been making much of the speech
- of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge,
Republican, of Massachusetts, in
favor of President Wilson's canal tolls
policy. The truth of the matter is
that Lodge has made out very bad
case for President Wilson and his
administration.
He says that while the Republicans
were in control at Washington the
United States occupied a commanding
position among the nations of the
world and had the respect of all
Europe. He tells us that since Taft
left the White House all this has been
changed and that now we have not
only lost prestige but are looked upon
with distrust and suspicion abroad.
And, pray, what has brought about
this condition? Nothing more or less
than the weakened policies of Presi-
dent Wilson" and his advisers. To
remedy this Senator Lodge asks us
to offer Europe another sop in an
attempt to purchase back our lost
position and influence.
What we need at Washington is a
man with. backbone sufficient to lay
down hard and fast foreign policies
and then back them up with the full
force of our great powers. We do not
need to pose as bully to do this. We
need not go about with chip on our
shoulders. But we must get away

sPokANE's MARKET REPORT

There are no radical changes in the
general or local business situation. 1t
is the period of the year when trade
is usually quiet in retail lines, and
when developments are not of marked
consequence normally, and the fact
that distribution is holding up to the
normal is a favorable feature of the
situation, while the continued air of
optimism, the multiplying evidences
that commerce and industry will make
an aggressive effort, and with conf
dence in its success looking toward an
active fall campaign, imparts a good
undertone to the situation.
The progress in securing the abnor-
mally large crops of the country is
satisfactory Through this influence,
and, with the termination of activities
in other directions, there has come
an increased call for money, and the
fact that capital is finding profitable
investment is regarded as favorable
The government has made available
S34 100000, for financing the crop
movement, and the various centers
are putting in acquisitions for their
quota.
Provisions.
Butter-In sympathy with the coast
markets the local price of all grades
of creamery butter was boosted &c pei
pound this week, making the figures
27c to soc.
Eggs-Values on eggs have taken q
little wider range in the local mar
ket, both in the price to the producers
and at wholesale. The figures on the
former are s6.60@6.75 and the latter
$7.50@s.50.
Poultry-The trend of prices on
chickens still continues upward, quo
tations this week being lac live weight
and 17c and 19c dressed. Springers
are also little f1rmer at Tic and 24c

while ducks are off to 12c and 13@17c
with demands limited and offerings
light.
Dressed Meats-Beef and pork are
both firmer while mutton is steady
Quotations on steers and COWS are up
csc this week, the figures being $6.75
and $5.75, and hogs have also ad-
vanced, the quotations being $3.50
$50 for light and $7.25Q7.50 for
heavy.
Lard and Cured Meats-The mar
ket on smoked meats is very firm
with quotations up lie on eastern B. r.
shoulders and bacon and indications
of an advance within the next few
days on local products. Eastern lard
is of &c on tierces, the figures being
1119c, sos, $5.s715; los, s7.35: SIS,
S7.42@, and IS, $3.50. Local remains

Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-Arrivals of eating stocks is
noted this week and quoted at SITS,
with other varieties selling at 60c@
$3.50. .s~S~
Berries-All varieties of berries are
offered at the same quotations as last
week except logans, which have taken
a little wider margin at S1.75@2. The
supply Of blackcaps and currants are
becoming very limited
Other Fruits-Choice lemons are up
soc at $500, and oranges are offered
at $3.50 against $3.50@3.75 last week.
Apricots and cherries are quoted at
once price, the former at 81 and the
latter at $1.25. Peaches have also lev
eled to 75c with watermelons off to
1hc. California grapes are in and
jobbing at So, while pears are offered
at $1.50@2.25. Egg plant is also a
new commodity, selling at SC per
pound
Potatoes-Increased receipts of tu-
bers has lowered the quotations to
$1.75 per hundred on the local market.
The spud market at New York was
steady with values lower. The potato
market continued in very unsatisfac-
tory shape at Chicago. At the opening
considerable strength was shown, but
values went off early and receipts
were not large. At the close barrels
sold at $240@2.50, with receipts light
and demand slow.
Other egetables-There has been
no change in this division with the
exception of the widening of the mar
gin on dry onions to s2@3, and a de.
cline in green corn to 10c per dozen.
Green peppers are now on the market
and quoted at SC per pound.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-Prices on wheat are up a
few cents this week over former fig
ures, the quotations being 741kc for
bluestem, 721sc for club and 6915c for
red Russian. There is very little
wheat moving as the war scare in Eu-
rope has had a tendency to cause
holders to hang on to their stocks. A
most peculiar feature of the wheat sit
uation has been the weak tendency of
prices in America and the strong po-
sition of wheat in the international
market.
Flour-Millers report improvement
in flour sales, yet are still disappoint-
ed at the volume of business, which
they had hoped would be much larger
on the movement of new wheat. Some
reason for the lack of business is prob
ably due to the fact that most mills
have not yet started to grind new
wheat. Domestic Sour trade is pick
ing up gradually and millers as a rule
are advising customers that -four at
present prices is a safe purchase.
Feed-New crop hay and alfalfa is
coming to hand in good volume with
prices on this variety quoted at SIS
for timothy and $14 for alfalfa. Feed
wheat is dropping, a lowering of 81
being noted this week at 500.

WILL TRY OUT CONVICT CAMP
Board Of Control Will Experiment
With Prisoners in Building
State Roads.

Madison.-Convict labor in building
state roads is to be used in Wisconsin
soon under the direction of the state
board of control. Two camps of pris-
oners are to be placed at work in an
experimental way within the next
month, one at Waupun and one at Tay-
cheedah near the woman's industrial
home
The plan of the board is to put the
prisoners wholly upon their honor
Each company will contain about thir-
ty and no guard will be placed over
them, the superintendent to be a per-
son selected by the highway commits
sion to have charge of the engineer
ing aspects of the work and the fore
man to have general direction of the
men.
President Smith said the mems rec
ords would be taken into considera-
ton and their general disposition as
revealed to the prison authorities. He
said that the plan is experimental and
that If it Is as successful as the board
expects, the employment of prisoners
will be extended The incentive for
the prisoner will be an added wage
and the hope that faithful service may
modify the sentence.
The board rejected all bids offered
for the building of the school at the
home for the feeble-minded at Chip
pewa Falls. The board reappointed
the twelve superintendent of state
institutions.
