Better Export Demand for
Oats-Little Doing in
Liverpool

CHICAGO. oct. PA dull and listless
grain market confronted operators at the
opening today. Prices were easier and
continued to case off In the early hours
Trading was light. The demand was
small and offerings few. December wheat
ended the day with Scent loss, while
May was down nearly cents.
a bearish sentiment continued 10 pre-
vail. Irregularity was predicted as long
as the weather continues so good and the
arrivals and movements so heavy. Tho
underselling of Americans by Canadian
dealers is causing no little worry. The
chief export sales are for Manitobas, with
domestic trailing along far in the rear
Corn and oats we're firmer than wheat.
Prices continued fairly steady. It is ex-
pected that the continuation of the fa-
vorable weather conditions will cause de-
pressions. Oats showed an increasing
export demand. which gave a good sup
port to quotations.
Export sales reported totaled 100000
bushels of wheat, mostly Manitobas.
Only 10000 bushels of domestic were re-
ported, but it is rumored that more sales
were made. Cash handlers sold only

equitable and unjust. The income
tax law, while complicated beyond I'M
Outstanding in many respects, is es-
sentially sound. 1t can easily be made
the source of more revenue than we
now receive. 1 thoroughly believe in
the exemption of small incomes, but
the exemption is too large and should
be reduced. On the other hand, the
rate levied on the very large incomes
is too low. During the continuance
of the war we should tax, and tax
heavily, the business of manufactur-
ing and selling arms and munitions for
export. Nothing could be more just
than a measure which would transfer
to the treasury some of the unprece-
dented profit of those who are en-
gagged in such trade. Sooner or later
we shall be compelled to tax great in
heritances, either direct or collateral,
possibly both. Such an imposition is
eminently fair, but if it were practic-
able it should be preceded by an
amendment to the constitution en-
towering an adjustment between the
state and federal authorities to accom-
plish uniformity. Whether anything
can now be done in that direction is
most doubtful: but it is clear that in
some way we will shortly reach that
source of national income.

why shouldn't he? Berenice's father

nation to go thousands of miles to
secure an investigator on a matter of
national interest. When this is done
it means that the man thus sought is

Kansas Comment
DRILLING THE BOYS.

One of the questions that we will
have to fight out in the near future.
in all probability, is that of military
drill for the boys in the public schools.
Already the agitation has begun in
some parts of the country and it is
bound to spread, especially if the war
in Europe continues many months.
Heretofore such drills as we have
had in the public schools has been
considered in the nature of recreation
for the boy, or as physical training
to make him straight, strong and act
i've and as mental training to make
him obedient to orders. There was
no opposition to it anywhere and no
particular advocacy of it in many
places. But the general war has put
a different phase upon the matter.
Now any drill Will be looked upon as
preparation for war and there will
be those who are earnestly in favor
of such preparation and there will
be those who will say that they do
not raise their boys to be killed.
There are those who believe that ev-
cry boy should be got ready for war
and there are those who believe that
such preparation has a strong tend
ency to arouse the military spirit in
the boy and will lead us to provoke
war. The conflict of ideas is sure to
occur should an attempt be made to
extend the military drill in our
schools. So far as the Times is con-
cerned we believe in preaching peace
and getting ready for war.-Leaven-
worth Times
