Dist Atty Wilkerson, although
slated for the axe to make way for
Sen. Lewis man, Charles F. Clyne of
Aurora, today started an investigation
into the enormous increase in the
price of wheat.
A staff of investigators were turn
ed loose on the Board of Trade after
the sensationaly announcement came
shortly before noon today that wheat
had advanced to $1.25.
With the rise came the report that
outside Spectators were flooding the
market. Later it was limited that what
was by some supposed to be an actual
foreign demand for wheat was in
reality only an inquiry by foreigners

COUNTY LOSING tx MONEY

The business interests seem to be
getting the best of the tax fight with
SCtate's Atty Hoyne. From a man
closely in touch with the situation.
Day Book reporter learned that the
reduction in taxes was only the first
of a line of hard wallops that is COM
ing to Hoyne in his battle to make
the big fellows come across with their
honest taxes.
When the spring assessments were
made the results of Hoyne's work was
shown. This has been big tax year.
Practically all the large property own
ers of Cook county came across with
bigger schedules. But the other day
when the board of review reduced
the taxes of the banks, through the
influence of George Reynolds and the
Forgans, the county lost over $21,-
100000 from the tax duplicates.

FREDERICK PALMER AT FRONT
FOR AMERICAN PAPERS
Washington, Aug. 27.-Frederick
Palmer, worlds famous war CORE
spondent, will represent the United
Press and all other American press
associations at the front with the
British army.
When the British war Office an
nounced that only one American
newspaperman would be permitted
with the army, the American press
associations agreed that Palmer was
best fitted for the position. He was in
London. All press associations will
receive his reports simultaneously.
Frederick Palmer has been a war
correspondent in all conflicts since
the Greek war in 1897. He was in
Klondike with the gold rush; happen
ed to be in the Philippines in 1898;
returned with Dewey in 1899 and in
1900 was with the allied army that
marched to Picking. A little later he
was in the thick of Central American
revolutions and 1903 saw him in
Macedonia for the instruction there.
During the Russo-Japanese war he
was attached as correspondent to the
first Japanese army. In 1909 he re-
ported the Young Turks movement
and in 1912 he covered" the Balkan
war. He arrived at Vera Cruz shortly
after the American occupation.

Civilians Have Duties.

Soldiers and sailors accept their
work with the full understanding that
it may fall to them to lay down their
lives for the common good. IT Is n
redccming trait in the necessary work
of making ready to defend the nation
against Its foes. Those men who died
in Mexico were but fulfilling an al
ways possible call Of duty. Should
there be no corresponding elements In
the call and duty of the civilian ci.l-
zen? Are we not, too, the children of
the nation pledged to her honor and
living iE her service? 1t is easier
sometimes to die than TO live for n
devotion. The marching orders for
tho fight, tho sense of comradeship.
the excitement of tho battle. bring all
the powers OF the soul to unity and
blow our courage to Il flame. The
quiet. workaday courage OF unselfish
citizenship IL quite as ncedful for the
nations life. Without 1t the soldiers
herCism may go for naught. or he en-
nloyed in unjust causes. While We
honor our dead OF Vera Cruz, let us
dedicate ourselves anew to the SER
vice Of the nation for which they so
bravely gave their lives-The ConEre-

Unfair to Taft.

Isn't it little unfair to assert, rs
some newspapers have, that Mr. Taft
"shirked" the Mexican problem and
passed 1t OH to his successor"
The assassination OF Madero,
which was the beginning OF the pres
ent phase OF the trouble, occurred
shortly before the expiration OF Pres
ident Tafts term. Mr.. Taft very
properly did nothing, leaving to the
man who was soon to assume the
duty Of successfully carrying out a
policy the privilege Of inaugurating
that policy.
In our opinion, he deserves COM
mendation rather than condemna-
ton.

For Greater SERVICE.

The annual commencement exer-
cises Of the Virginia Mechanics In
stitute, held last night, gave evidence
anew, in the size OF it's graduating
class and the quality OF the exhibited
work OF the 532 students, of the
value of tho institute to Richmond.
But 1t is the potential value OF
the Institution which more greatly
interests Richmond. The great good
tho school has done in the past need
not be forgot in the consideration of
the greater good it could do. In fact,
it is what has been done by night
school which makes us understand
what can be done If day courses be
added. We would like to see the in
stitution developed into a day school.
Offering to the young men OF Rich
mond the same sort of practical in
struction and training which is CON
fined now exclusively to the evening
hours. With vocational training in
the public schools. the Mechanics In
stitute servir" 4 larger number of
young men, and Il free public library,
Richmond would no longer be com
PEELED to import its trained me-
chanics in such numbers as now. She
would develop them at home.
