.IODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago. Feb. 19-WHEAT-Wheat prices
ieaped upward today impelled by q strong
and excited market ut Liverpool where the
highest figures on this years crop wefe
being paid, with no abatement in the de-
mand There wac general rush OF specu-
lative buying here and offerings were very
scanty until q rise Of 3Ac had been at
tanned: Attention centered wholly on Brit
1sh efforts to circumvent the German at
tempt at submarine blockade. Altar
opening 1kc to 3Hc above last night and
fluctuating rapidly, the market here stead
led at about Nc under the top level
Inability to confirm statements regard
afterward to q further down turn. The
close was weak at st@%c under last night
CORN-Corn ascended with wheat buy
ing was ON a large scale with shorts espec-
tally active in hurrying to cover. Country
offerings to arrive were small. and there
were reports of big falling off in ship
ments from Argentina. The opening, which
ranged from A03ec to %@Kc higher was
followed by additional gains and then q
moderate reaction.
Gossip that the advance here had
checked export buying tended later to bring
about a decided setback. The close was
weak at nc to 1c down
OATS-In oats the upward tendency Of
prices was met by free selling on the
part OF several leading concerns. Com
mission houses were the chief source Of
demand.
PROFESSIONALISM prices for grain
helped make provisions firm. Advances
were restricted, however, owing to uncer-
tainty Ms to the course Of the hog market.

JAPAN'S ACTIVITY

Correspondence from Sydney,
Australia, indicates that Japan Is
quietly taking advantage Of the
European war, and the consequent
lack of ocean tonnage on the part
of this country, to cut into the trade
OF the United States with Australia.
II is said that the new Australian
tariff will probably operate against
the Japanese to the same extent as
it will against the American export
ers, but the alert business men OF
Nippon have gained a foothold in
the Antipodes, which but for the
war they would never have had,
and they have the advantage over
the Americans of cheaper labor and
mercantile marine.
An extract from the Japan Adver-
tiser, of Yokohama, states that dur
ing the war, and probably after,
British and German shipping will
not be able to resume trade on the
old scale. In the meantime Japan
will be able to build up trade en-
pire leisuTely and uninterruptedly.
Shipowners who have been hesita-
ting to depart from their old policy
o. importing old ships from abroad,
are now venturing to order now
boats from the different shipyards
in Japan, and the total tonnage of
boats recently ordered, and in
course of building will amount to
more than 10000 tons. Mean
while the Democratic party has
trance visions.
Japan today is paying over $780,
100000 a year subsidies to her mer-
chant marine. Her ships sail to
Australia, to South Africa, to South
America. to buy wool, hides, lum-
her and various other raw materials,
which are taken back to Japan, and
the Japanese government, under the
ship subsidy practiced, pays a large
part of the cost of freightage opera
ton. The goods are worked up IN
TO manufactured articles in Japan,
csc mills. and again the subsidized
ships carry out the Manufactured
product to find a. market in every
port OF the world. ,

sedly incapable Of meeting any sit

LET EVERYBODY HELP.

The plan Of Governor Capper to
make good roads all over Kansas in
two days will be success-pro-
vided, always, that the people oil
Kansas do as Governor Capper asks
them to do. And there Is certainly
no man in the state who travels the
Dads who ought not to be willing
and anxious for an opportunity to
do lust that thing. The amount OF
work that could be done under such
an arrangement is beyond compre-
bension. At the end Of the second
day, every main travelled road In
Kansas ought to be in good shape,
dragged, the mud holes filled up,
and ready for every traveller. The
outline of the organization has been
made, for without organization lit
tie could be done, and 1t is now up
to the people of Kansas to act, or
admit that they do not care for
good roads. Governor Capper has
done his part, has done all he can
do. The rains have left the roads
in the worst shape Kansas has ever
known them. Just ordinary, com
mon, neighborhood pride, ought tc
bring every man out to help In thetl
repair, to say nothing of the greater
and common pride that we all fee
in Kansas herself. This splendid
plan of Governor Capper should not
only receive the hearty endorse
ment of every man in Kansas, but
i shouldacall out two days work from
him as well.-Lawrence Gazette.

JAIL's NO PLACE FOR FARMER
Wouldn't Sign Liquor Testimony,
Arrested, Then Released

Wichita, Kas., Aug. 3.-Steve
Balch, wealthy farmer, was turned
out of the county Jail by the county
commissioners. Balch was called be-
fore a liquor inquisition. The farm
or told the county attorney to go to
a hot place when told If he didn't
sign his testimony he would be
sent to Jail. Balch was arrested.
He refused to plead, to put up bond
or to do anything. He served five
days in Jail and today farmers,
merchants and bankers flocked to
the court house, demanding that
Balch be released. The county
commissioners turned him out, say
ing that the state and county pro-
secutors could fill the jail with liQ-
nor sellers in place of honest farm
ers.

uatIon having to do with our ship
ping. Two measures which that
party attempted to put over to en-
courage the merchant marine result
ed in nothing. One was the allow
anee OF a discount OF five per CEN
tum on all duties imposed by the
Underwood tariff law ION such
goods, wares, and merchandise as
shall be imported in vessels admit
ed TO registration under the laws OF
the United States" Republican
Congressmen pointed out, when this
clause was under consideration,
that, instead OF carrying out the In
tention OF Mr.. Underwood, 1t would
act as a horizontal cut OF five per
cent of the Underwood revenue du-
ties on all goods coming In In yes
sells with whom we had most faY-
ored nation treaties-practically all
nations-and the Court OF Customs
Appeals so construed 1t in a dect-
sion recently handed down. It con-
stitutes fine example of Democra-
tic legislative inaptitude.
The second was the administra-
TONS pet measure of government
ownership and operation of the
merchant marine. This contemplat-
ed legislation of a character so cd
oriferous that even the Democratic
Senators were obliged to hold their
noses. Seven of them baked out
right and refused to swallow 1t. The
bill was defeated and these seven
senators were benched by Senator
Bill Stone for poor teamwork"

ENGLAND WON'T LET
BELGIUM SHIP TO U. s.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Great Bri-
tian is disinclined to permit the un-
molested passage to this country of
ships loaded at Rotterdam with Bel
gian products, according to a mes
sage today from Consul General
Skinner ia London. Belgium goods
form part of the vast accumula-
ton of American-bound merchan-
disc tied up in Rotterdam.
While efforts to obtain relief OF
all the Rotterdam shipments have
been unsuccessful, it had been hop
ed that goods shown to be of bona
fide Belgian manufacture might be
exempted from the British orders
IN council.

TO the European war, have failed
10 maintain the revenues at a safe
level. The Democratic maJorities
in the last congress treated the
Treasury balance with the circum-
spection of famished hogs who had
broken into a ripe corn field. And
this despite frequent and emphatic
warnings-not from Republicans
but from the Democratic chairman
of the appropriations committee. j.
=. Fitzgerald. Mr.. Fitzgerald.
probably the ablest financier in the
democratic party, warned his col
leagues of the danger OF their
course and he besought the presi-
dent to use his power over congress
to curtail the reckless extravaganza,
but to no avail. The president and
his friends in congress sowed the
wind and now they are due to reap
the whirlwind. 1t is probable that
the revenues will prove sufficient
10 tide government over until the
regular session of congress, but
some new method of raising reve-
nue. must be devised then and once
more producer and consumer, bust
ness man and farmer will alike be
called upon to shoulder increased
and unnecessary burdens.

HEAVY TREASURY DEFICIT

One of the gravest problems
which confronts this administration
Is the tremendous deficit in the u.
8. Treasury, in round numbers $75,.
0OO, 900 for the fiscal year ending
June 80; 1915, about twice the
amount of the deficit for the year
ending June 80, 1914. All the jue-
Cling which the Treasury officials
may do with the receipts and dis
bursements will not serve to dis
gaise the fact that Democratic con-
duct Of the nations finance has
been attended with disaster. The
Underwood tariff bill has been a
hopeless failure e 3 revenue pro-
ancer. Even the var taxes, which
ars q burden ~ nlnng people, and
mhIeh. with an egatessAEift BILL
would have compensated for such
rnr Of revenue as was due directly

The few remarks made by JUS
3lce Burch to the indemnity insur-
ance company the other day when
he dismissed its appeal will no
doubt have portion OF saving
grace in 1t that will cause other in
surance companies to sit up and
take notice. "The fact is" said the
Judge in rendering his decision
shat this is not a law suit; 1t is
an abuse of the judicial machinery
Of the state by a contumacious cor
poration." And then by way OF
rubbing in the salt he adds: ut is
useless to discuss the dignity OF
labor with a gambler, or the re-
ward of virtue with procuress. y
1t is difficult to imagine just what
Justice Burch would say to man
or a company If he should happen
some time to get out Of humol
about a case in court.
