that the acreage planted in Germany,
Austria and France will be between
40 and As per cent under the aver
age
If that is true of these countries
what of Russia's production this
year ? Russia, too, has taken mil
lions of men and millions of horses
from the farms. She may need every
bushel for her own people and have
none to sell, and if that is her pros
pect, she will probably guard the
present reserve, whatever it may be.
Neither the ending of our civil
war nor the conclusion of the Franco
| Prusian war of 1871, as the Spokes-
man-Review has previously shown,
was followed by a fall in the price of
wheat. In fact the converse vas the
case. Wheat went UP with the sign
ing of the terms of peace. Mr.. Hill,
however, thinks the very fact the
war is over will have the effect of
causing some settling back of wheat
prices" and for another reason he
argues that ''the European laborer,
with factories ueStFOyou anu many III
dustries ruined, will turn back to
Mother Earth for his living, and that
will be an important factor in in
creasing the worlds supply and driv-
ing prices down."
This overlooks the other side of the
balance sheet-the loss of millions of
men and horses on the battle field, a
scarcity of seed and the rundown con-
dition of the farms. Ruined manu-
featuring industries can be restored
without horses and seed; ruined agri-
culture can not.
On this question Mr.. Hill, like all
the rest of us, is only guessing. His
guess may come true, but present in
dications do not bear him out.

THE NEW SOCIETY PAGE.

After twelve years of Congress,
Victor Murdoch, red-headed, amia-
BILE, progressive and able, has return
ed to his home city Of Wichita, Kan
sas, to resume publication of the Dali
ly Eagle, of which he is the owner.
He re-enters newspaper life with
new and medern ideas, and among
them is an adjectiveless society page.
What is meant is, that in Mr.. Muir
docks Eagle, there will be no more
items like this :
The charming Mrs, Wilberforce
Dustin-Rocks gave a delightful dim
ner party last evening to a select party
of DISTINGUISHED friends, The hostess
was becomingly attired in a Paris gown
of exquisite satin, trimmed in gold lace.
The spacious parlors were beautifully
decorated with cut flowers and trailing
evergreens.
As Mr.. Murdoch will have it writ
ten, the Eagle will say it this way:
Mrs. Wilberforce Dustin-Rocks en-
tertained a party of friends at dinner
last evening. Only a few guests were
invited.
Man proposes, but woman often
ulSDOSGS. EullUl MuluoNh pans, po'
the ladies of Wichita's fair 400 or
dain. A poor newspaper pilgrim
with progressive notions about how tc
run a society page, may at no distant
date, conclude that all the rules Of
safety first should have been ap-
| piled before recklessly undertaking
to revolutionize the ideas and Gus
toms of social Wichita.
It is true as Mr.. Murdoch says
that any fool reader ought to know
that on the occasion Of her dinner
party, Mrs. Wherefore Dustin-Rocks
was dressed to kill" that the Dus
tin-Rocks parlors were a bower o
floral decorations, that any affair a
the Dustin-Rocks palatial home Ii
made brilliantly exclusive by thu
charming hostess.
All that is, indeed, fundamental al
to the Dustin-Rockses and all thu
first families. But the burning ques
ton is, will Wichita's select social Sc
permit it's brilliant functions to b.
described in the same cold bloodet
fashion with which there is mention
of an advance in the price of pork o
the crop prospects of alfalfa.--Ore

William Howard Taft, when presi-
dent of the United States, vetoed the
Interstate Kenyon-Webb bill on the
ground of it's unconstitutionality
His elder son Robert maintains in an
article in the Harvard Law Review
that the Webb act is constitutional
The ex-president wrote a very
learned article setting forth the evils
Of statewide prohibition and made
plain why that policy was a failure
and impracticable. His second son
Charles of Yale, in a debating con
test with the Syracuse University
team, vigorously defends the doctrine
that prohibition of the liquor traffic
is a good thing, alleging that it has
proved to be a success, especially in
Kansas and Maine. He told of the
prosperity that followed the enforce
ment of dry state laws, and reasoned
that the policy was desirable from
every standpoint.

MIR. HILLS PREDICTION.

James J. Hill, who forecasts dollar
wheat this year and 70 cents in 1916,
POUNDS his prediction on the expected
release of 100000 bushels of
Russian grain by the opening OF the
Dardanelles, says the Spokesman
Review. He does not explain his
source of information as to the Rus
sian supply, a point upon which other
authorities confess a lack of close or
approximate knowledge. Even the
London Economist admits that no one
can say how much grain will be avail
able there, "since it is not known how
much of last years harvest has been
carried down to ports, or how much is
lying back in the country for want
of transportation facilities. How
many steamers are shut in the Black
sea nc one can say"
Even though Mr.. Hills estimate OF
132,000,000 bushels should be cor
rect, there is reason to believe that II
would fall short of the European de-
iciency resulting from the war, for
he comedies that lit may be estimated

I'VE SHOULD PREPARE.

When the present wal in Europe is

will have seen war as perfected by
the science, the valor and the skill OF
the pale races, and will take those
lessons home with them. So Will the
Gurkhas, and Rajahs soldiers or
India. While the world is treating
with contempt the valor of the Turks.
what if a second Saladin should come
out of the interior to lead them as
did the first Saladin before whom the
most capable of the Crusaders re-
tired discounted. By the bearing OF
Japan toward, China one would thlnk
that her experts had already measur-
ed the chances of wal with the
strongest of the pale races and are
not afraid.
What if this war is. after all, only
a preliminary affair. a curtain raiser
for the world war that is to follow
| when in final test the pale races are
to meet the dark and yellow races
We hope our government is con
| sidering these possibilities, that the
works for manufacturing wal machl-
nerv are in perfect order, that science
is being exhausted in trying to per
feet all arms from carbines to field
guns; that the possibilities of the
submarine are being saught for; tina
we may not be totally unprepareC
when our turn shall come.
We cannot see why all the boys IL
our schools above fifteen years of ag'
are not being daily trained for VIVA
may be in store for u country.
Ancient Greece never reached per
lection in the arts and in archltec
ture, until through her daily militar,
training as soldiers they reached
nearer physical and mental perfec
ton than any ace since has.
That splendid lesson is one tina
should be constantly studied in GU
republic.
As it is we seem to be merely trust
ing to fate to keep us at peace, an
which, if persisted in, will cause GU
country to lose a full hundred thous
and brave men before the country
armies will have learned how to fight

animals in Argentina at the end OF
1914 was as follows: Horned cattle,

ENGLAND AND THE WATER
WAGON.

Should the British government
prohibit the sale of strong drink an
important source of revenue will go
dry. Last year the liquor tax pro-
duced $19S, 600 and it is %estlnlat-
ed that it would yield a little more
this wear. To forego that amount Of
money at a time when every penny
counts requires some heroism, but
there would be compensations. The
United Kingdom spends $500, 600 900
and a little more for drink each year.
OF course this enormous sum OF mon
ey is worse than wasted, since liquor
not only benefits nobody, but to
many it is positively harmful. The
prohibition of the traffic would save
this expenditure for more beneficial
purposes, as similar action has done
in Russia. The English are the most
bibulous people in the world. The
average family spends more than $50
annually for tipples of one sort and
another. The Irish are considerably
less wasteful in this particular.
The contemplated prohibition OF
the liquor traffic is purely for military
reasons. 1t is found that so much
drunkenness exists in the shipyards
that it is difficult to build new vessels
at the necessary rate to carry on the
naval war. Since Englishmen love
the navy somewhat more than theil
grog, it seems quite likely that Lloyd
George will gain his point and put thu
demon Rum to fight. The monstel
may return to Albion's shores wheI
the war is over, and he may not
The British may find themselves 81
much healthier and happier on thu
water wagon that they will prefer t.
stay there.-Sunday Oregonian.
