IISIsRCtjLATiION AND K AfHEAT.

Except for, thoss 3pitople Killed ion| battle fields, there are to-| S!lay just as many persons on earth as @sin July, 1914. Perhaps, considering s'that sIhere is a sucker born every minute" there sfe more, despite the war.
 In July, 1914, S91 100000 bushels of American wheat had. already been shsrvested and the price was between 5 :: and 80 cents on the Chicago board 3sof trade.
 Thera was no incentive for devotees ef speculation to sell wheat for fall &becsuse the price was already al or below the farmers price of produc- tlon. There likewise was no incen- tive for buying it for q rise, because there was manifestly too much of it. 2 A month later Europe was at war. ssIn six months the price more dha n dpubled, though as before said, there NMere just as many people ill the
 orld and just as much wheat. At
 resent millions are eating less wheat ltan ever before, and the crop this SsEEar is even larger than last year. yet the price remains at a high level. And for deficiency in Germany and Austria, there is surplus in other piaces.
 What, then, has made the price ot wheat high?
 Last year only about half our ex- 1tcrtable surplus left the country; and the same probably will be true this year. The rema finder has been stored n elevators, in freight cars at sea port terminals and in bins. \ It is the expectation that whea might be scarce later on that ha. % acked up the prices s-that and bi 0f speculation by all hands concern ed, including the silk-stocking spec ulator in the skyscraper and th' a nhirtsles ved speculaior ill the husk x tngs.
 If the war in Europe would end to Enorrow--well. now, honestly hoy Ieng would the price of wheat remain
 t it's present level? Why would i
 Eop? Because the expectation of
 earcity later however slight tn
 rospects may be-vouid no longe
 xist. The bottom would be kickc' sSat the speculative bucket.

PRESS COMMENT.
.CONTEMPT OF COURT,

(New Orleans es-Picayune)
 For refusing to name the person who, he says, gave him in strict con fidence information upon which he based a story dealing with vice condl- tions in New Orleans, the reporter of an afternoon newspaper was adjudg- cd guilty of contempt of court and sent up for s%enty-four hours. The season of seclusion and meditation having failed to alter his decision, he was set at liberty yesterday afternoon with the alleged confidence unDroken aud the newspaper tradition regard
 ing confidence inviolate.
 The Times-Picayune does not question the authority of the commlt- ting magistrate to define and punish as contempt of court the reporters refusal to answer the question put to him. It does Tot know what suspic- ions, or circumstances may have 1n- SplICu tuC cSA0NSCs SOAolONl HIS tAAS

 Members of the Fourth Estate are not in matters like this, legally ''priv- ileged'' as tine members of certain other professions are. Yet we dare maintain that any reputable news paper is worthy of the exemption granted others, and we believe thai lmosr reputable newspaper men would accelt punishment for contempt be- fore violating their personal oblisa- ! ftiou and the honorable traditions oi itheir calling.

NORTHEAST CLTNCHES
SCHOLASTIC BASEBALL
LAURELS FOR SEASON
Fourth Championship
Won by Red and Black
Athletes This Season.
Central High School Is
Now in Second Place.
Interscholastic League Standing

Northeast High School added its fourth
championship of the season to it's credit
when the Red and Black nine clinched
the baseball title of the lnterschoastic
League as a result of it's victory over
Southern High School yesterday after
noon by n to score. Besides winning
laurels for the national pastlme during
the 1914-15 season, the Sth street and Le-
high avenue athletes have annexed titu-
lar honors in football soccer and basket
ball
AS a result of the Central High-West
Philadelphia High contest, which con-
clhded in a 2 to 0 victory In favor OF
the Crimson and Gold, Coach Doctor
OBrien's batters have taken possession
of the runner-up position for the Prince
ton trophy II was the fifth consecutive
defeat for the Speed Boys since the boys
from across the Schuylkill took their
slump following their defeat by Southern
High two weeks ago.
The annexation by Northeast High of
the baseball title is one of the biggest
surprises in local scholastic circles this
season, inasmuch as West Philadelphia
High all but clinched the title fort
night ago. However Coach Alker's
baseballians fell down Unexpectedly, and
the spurt displayed by Northeast while
straight games gave the Red and Black
the championship.
Although Northeast won the title by
defeating Southern High, the downtown
aggregation of leather-heavers gave the
champions the stiffest battle of the league
season Sheffe, Southerns star twirler,
held the Red and Black to but half
dozen hits, but an overthrow in the sixth
inning, following l.. Ridpath's single and
a one-base blow by Landberg, enabled
Northeast to score a lone tally Then' in
the eighth, another run was made by
Captain Webb when he banged out
bingle, stole second and third and count
cred on sacrifice fly by Ebert
Two runs in the eighth session gave
Central High its victory over West Philly.
Trautwein was sent in by Coach Doctor
O'Brien TO bat for Bingham, with two
men on the bases. The pinch-hitter came
through with a single, sending both men
over the pan.
Abrams. who pitched for the West
Phillies, held the Crimson and Gold bat
ers to but three hits, but Trautwein's IS
single put the game on ice for the Broad
and Green streeters. The fray was one
of the most interesting contests OF the
season. Barrels of Central High, allowed
the Speed Boys but four safe drives.
