THE YoRkvilLE CREAMERY.

The Enquirer has information that
the Yorkville Creamery Is in a very
bad way and unless something Is done
pretty quickly it's operation will hardly
be continued longer than anothe, week
This is a piece Of information that is
given out very regretfully; but hoping
almost against hope that something
may be done to repair the situation
because notwithstanding the apparent
failure Of this enterprise, its history
and experience have tended to prove
the complete practicability Of the sue
cessful operation at this place.

The Cotton Futures Law.

NE action of United States District
Judge Hough in declaring the Lever
law unconstitutional, will prove a Sc
rious disappointment to the cotton pro-
ducers and will no doubt entail upon
them great loss.
The effect Of the Lever law was to
establish the supply and demand OF
cotton as the determining price Of that
commodity OF the speculative ex-
changes, instead Of leaving the matter
to be determined by the preponderat-
ing weight Of money.
The main feature Of the law imposed
a tax of two cents a pound on all con
tracts that did not contemplate the de-
livery Of actual cotton, and the effect
Of that was to compel the spectators
to base all their prices on real values.
OF course the whole purpose Of the
Lever law is apparent to everybody.
Transactions in imaginary cotton were
determined by money and nerve. II the
bear had more money and nerve than
the bull, other things being equal, he
was able to make the bull settle their
bet, pretty much as he pleased, and
vice versa. The actual commodity in
which they were supposed to be dealing
had only an indirect and remote rela-
ton to the transaction. But when the
law said hat every speculative trans
action of this kind must involve either
the cotton or the tax in the settlement,
the situation was very materially
changed, and transactions were eleva-
ted to a basis Of actual values.
Judge Hough has not gone into the
merits Of the law; but has contented
himself with undertaking to knock 1t
out on constitutional grounds. The
constitution provides that all measures
for raising revenue must originate in
the house. This law originated in the
house; but it appears that the 2 cent

The man who has cotton and owes
debts should pay his debts. AS to
whether it would be a sacrifice to sell
cotton on the present market is a ques-
ton which no man car answer with
certainty: but there is no question Of
the fact that the mar who is compelled
to carry past due accounts without in
terest, is making a sacrifice. These
are only the plain facts in the situa-

The United States has been COM
PEELED to take several things within

the part of prudence. The wealthiest

to stand up against various European
countries. OF course there is no de-

Heretofore it has been common to
add a few dollars in cash to a ton OF
cotton seed in exchange for a ton of
cotton seed meal. Now a ton Of cotton
seed is worth a ton of cotton seed meal
and some five or six dollars in addition.

control of this country have made 1t impossible for a general participation therein and while it might be possible to worm certain of the smaller vessels through tho canal on the date set for the display. the damper on the pageant cannot all be laid to the canal slides and the decision to postpone the affair must be considered wise one since on a later date the prospects are that more of our own navy could partici- pate.
 The unstable sides of the big ditch have given trouble for years and a certain amount can be anticipated iTl the future before the sliding mass is checked, or a sufficient amount re- moved for it to strike it's level. The fact is the waterway has been able to accommodate over a. million dol lars worth of business before the date set for it's completion, which is an accomplishment that must offset such a. condition as the slides pre- sent now.

THE CANAL SLIDES.

Col. GoethaIs gives no more encour- agement in his statement to President Wilson relative to the passage of the warship parade through the Panama canal than he did in the statement which he made on his return to this country. He knows the obstacle. that the slide presents and he knows the progress than can be expected to be made in removing it, and as the result when he says there will probably not be an unobstructed waterway for such a fleet as it has been proposed to send through, there is the best ground for believing that he knows what he is talking about.
 However disappointing this may be and whatever changes it has caused to be made in the program for the pageant, there are also other reasons which have made it apparent that the ISavaa parade could not be what was expected of it. Conditions entirely ~side from the canal and beyond the

INDICATES THE PROGRAM.

Many are the amendments which are being offered to the ship purchase bill in the endeavor to so modify it that 1ta will have the objections eliminated and meet with the approval of enough of the opponents to insure it's passage. With the inclination to change some of the provisions it Is strange dis position which was manifested towards the amendment that was pro- posed by Senator Lodge to the effect that the vessels which are to be pur- chased under the provisions of the bill must be other than those belonging to beiHgerent nations.
 1n spite of the international comph- cations which are faced by the enact Jnent Of a law through which !t is fn- tended to obtain vessels which have been interned. or which are lileaI-- to bscome subject to seizure should they bsi encountered on the high seas by Tvarships of tho opposing nation. the refusal 10 incorporate such an amend nlent into tho bill discioses, about as slainly as could be desired, what the program will be if the bill passes. The plan to experiment with one vessel under like conditions has demonstrated what tho foreign attitude is to such action.
 The determination of the adminis- tration to push this measure through irrespective of waiting trouble and despite the warnings of the perils from men so well versed fn interna- tional law as Senator Root warrants rhe opposition that it is receiving. Such a combination of government ownership and the disregard of inter- national law should expect nothing else insthe end but defeat.

BULLETINS SPECIAL YALE LETTER
Revision of the Present College Roong System-Cv War Memorial to be UnveiIed-Yale Graduate Invented First Submarine Mine and Boat-Changes in Art School Work.

New Haven. Jan. 2S.---In accordance with the complete revision of the pres ent college rooming system which was announced Tuesday evening for the first time the academic freshmen will occupy Berkeley Oval beginning in the fail of 1916, contrary to the report that tho freshmen would take possession of the junior dormitories next fall. The senior class will have Vanderbilt ant Wright halls; the junior class Pierso1 the Sophomores, in addition to the regular dOrmitorieS, Lawrence, FaFnal4 and Durfee, will have Welch and Con- necticut halls, both of which are at present senior dormitories. The sopIlo- more and senior classes clearly benefit by the change. But the junior class, the present freshmen, will not have enough room in the college buildings and must live to a. great extent out side. There is a pressing need of new buildings to accommodate them. The building of dormitories on the west side of High street, just south of Pea body museum, is being agitated. In regard to the proposed changes Dean Jones has made the following com ment: The college wishes to get rid of any division in the freshman class. For the sake of class solidarity they should begin their course as @ unit. We have had pretty good solidarity here already; the proposed system will assure us of it in the future. The sophonores should room entirely in the college buildings. It would be unwise not to hove them do this. I feel that the seniors should room on the campus. It has always been traditional for them and I should dislike to have them junior class will therefore have to shift for itself to Q great extent. This is inevitable unless the college ac- quires new dormitories."

FAMOUS TRIALS
TRIAL OF COUNT voN ARNIM.

A trial which attracted the attention of the whole European continent. and Tn which Fon Bismarck strongly fig ured, was that of Count von Arnim This man was once the most cherished friend of the Iron Chancellor and had held many important positions in the diplomatic service. This friendship lasted for many years until the Chan celor thought that he was allying him seif too strongly to the pary in op- position. At first Bismark thought of sending him politely to exile in Con staninople, but this, for some reason. was abandoned, and soon Won Arnim was left without position or any eIn- ployment.
 Fon Arnin then descended to a depth which was intolerable for a nlem- Der of the diplomatic staff of Europe. He published. or allowed to be pub hshed, dispatches in Vienna which he had written at Rome. dicrediting Bis marck and trying to show that he himself had had more foresight in the Papal question than had his leader.
