THE PRICE OF WHEAT AND BREAD

bushel of wheat made into bread, is worth about
S. With the difference between the first cost of the wheat
would seem that it should not make much difference
what the first cost of wheat was Five bushels of wheat
will make barrel of flour Of 1876 pounds it will
leave byproduct about 100 pounds of bran, shorts
and mddlings which are worth the same price as the
weight of wheat. At dollar bushel this would
make the by-product worth $166. The cost of making
the flour in 300 400 barrel MILL is said to be about
30 cents BARREL and considerably less than this in the
larger mills This would make the five bushels of wheat
manufactured into flour cost $500 With the $166 for
bran etc. deducted the cost of the barrel of -four would
be 1884, seventy cents for each bushe of wheat
from which it was made.
Of there is the wholesaler and the retailer of
the flour to get commission out of this the baker to get
pay for his labor and his profits and the retailer of the
bread also to get his commission Still it would seem
that increase from 73 cents to S. or nearly 900 per
cent, is phenomenally heavy one.

SUNDAY CLOSING.


Editor Capital Journal: In the issue
of Friday, your editorial on Sunday
closing was much to the point. Yes, it
is difficult to enforce the law. People
as You say, differ so much and often
so radically as to make it an uphill
proposition. These "moral spnrts
centering on shutting down the Sunday
lid are commonly quite ephemeral. In
the last 20 years Salem tried it two or
three times but the cover didn t stay
on. Public sentiment took it off.
People think they have the right to
spend the day about as they please the
same as other days. If they want to
buy a cigar, for instance, taey think
they have the right to buy it any day,
etc.
Another thing thousands of our eiti-
zens forget all about the religious fea-
lures Of the day or care little about
them. Many of these thousands know
that religious times and seasons have
no proper place in our civil legislation,
being contrary to the genius of our
plan of government.
Church and STATE are separate mere
and religion and religious institutions
(Snnday being one), stand outside of
civil recognition and administration
solely upon their own merits. The evo-
luton of Sunday as an ecclesiastical in
stitution is interesting from the his.
torical standpoint. So is its legal
record.
AS to the closing of saloons on Sun
day, as is now on in Chicago, they
ought to be closed on all days. They
are everywhere a menace to good
order and decency.
But will their closing on one day
each week, much weaken their evil in
fluence the balance of the time. | well
know the answer that many would
make to this. But it will not stand in
vestigation. This one day in seven
proposition is like putting out the quar-
antine flag at the scarlet or yellow
'feyer infected home for day then TAX
ing it in for the six following during
which kind ncighbors can pass in and
out carrying abroad the germs by which
the neighborhOod will become inoculat-
ed!
If the saloon is to be prohibited but
a fraction of the time, let that time be
the night and not the day. Night is
the time when the saloon patron is most
idle. The industrious working man is
at his trade or work during the day but
at night he is free and can go where
the drink is dispensed. Close the sa-
loon at 5 p m. AID open it next morn
ing at 8. This suggestion is for those
who are satisfied with prohibition for
a part of the time only.

GERMANY'S GRIEVOUS MISTAKE

The most serious mistake Germany has made since
the war began the execution Of the English nurse,
Miss Edith Cave at o'clock in the morning OF October
18TH She tried by military court on the charge OF
having helped English and French soldiers, well as
Belgian young to the frontier and go to Eng
land She frankly admitted the truth of the charge and
further stated that she had received letters from some of
those she had aided after they arrived IN England
thanking her for her aid 1t this last voluntary ad
mission on her part that caused her execution, for tI
punishment for helping them the frontier so long
as they did not reach country at with Germany
would not have been death.
The killing of woman, even by process OF law has IN
all civilized countries been looked upon with feelings Of
horror; and the feeling aroused by the execution of
Edith Cavel are Of this kind.
The United States was guilty Of this act once in the
hanging of Mrs Surratt True the circumstances were
widely different for Mrs Surratt had been proven guilty.
of conspirng to murder great and good president
Abraham Lincoln, and indeed an accessory before
the fact which, under law is the same as committing
the crime Yet with powerful for her punish
ment most Americans even of the time regretted it. and
certainly none OF us are now proud OF It,
Germany has made mistake and must bear the con-
sequences she may. 1t is claimed the German governor
bastened the execution to prevent any interference and
to show his power and that had Kaiser Wilhelm had the
opportunity he would have saved her life.
For the love we bear to humanity hope this is so
for it is hard to believe that great as the kaiser
of blood and iron though he be- would have sent this
brave woman to her DEATH for greater otense than
aiding few prisoners of to escape to their native
land. A blot has been placed on Germanys escutcheon
whose traces will remain thereon through the centuries
