WHAT THE LAST ELECTION
 SHOWED.

President Wilson still cIings to the result of the November election aS evidence of the attitude of the coun- try towards the democratic adminis- tration and policies by reckoning as he said in his Indianapolis speech that according to the figures. had it been a presidential election 1t would have meant democratic majority Of about so in the electoral college.
 The basis for reaching such a, con- cftrsien as to electoral votes is the same as that presented by the dem ocrats soon after the election. At that time democratic claim was made to such states as elected democratic gov- ernors though the remainder of the ticket was largely republican. such as Massachusetts, for instance.
 Almost simultaneously with the presidents latest claim comes a dla- metrically opposite report from the national republican committee show ing that following a thorough analysis of the full vote on national issues the republicans carried g states which in the electoral college cast 2s8 votes for president, a clear majority of g over the 266 necessary for a choice. To %his majority seven more votes might be added if three doubtful or divided states were included.
 With the democratic conclusion be- ing based upon the vote given to the governors and the republican state ment being figured upon the basis of the senatorial and congressional votes, there is reason to believe that the lat ter comes nearer to representing the vote of the people upon matters of a national character. The president may console himself by placing his conf dence in the democratic figures, but he is standing in his own light if he does not apply the test the other way

WHEAT PRICES,

Transatlantic transportation charges are not the only things which have risen percept1bly and directly as the result of the war. Just at the present time the great jump in wheat is caus ing much concern not because Of any fear for the failure of the supply, but because Of the effect which the in- creased price is going to have upon the cost of living
 This country was fortunately favor ed with a bumper crop IL had so much that there was no possibility of a shortage and it came at time when it was recognized that the surplus was going to find a market across the wa ter. Fears that it would be drawn upon to such a large extent as to af- feet the price Of it at home brought f forth talk of an embargo but 1t was apparent that there was enoush to supply the demands and yet zeep it at a reasonable price.

It took all the money I had left from my allowance and Christmas fund. And would you believe it :: Only three of the twelve girls in the league have yet paid their share.
