The Baby Teeth.

of baby's teeth. Leave it to erandma-it

mischief.
Bnt after the teeth erupt we consider
them of the utmost Importance To the

Of children'1 teeth. There j. still a ten

Wheat and the War

The soaring price OF wheat gives present need
Tor attention 70 the food question. Europe's
acquisitions on our stores are having effect
that is perfectly natural although It is not at
all improbable that some portion OF the rise IN
price OF wheat Is due TO the speculative activity
of gamblers in grain The fact remains that
Europe is shorter than usual in the matter Of
food supply, while the demand has been intensi-
fled by the operations OF the armies. Food is
more imperatively necessary for an army than
arms and ammunition, and the governments en-
gagged in the great struggle are merely exercis-
ing ordinary prudence in protecting the commits
sary department OF their military organization.
It is unfair, though. to blame the farmers
for the advance in price. A very considerable
portion Of the crop of 1914 was out OF the hands
of the producers long before the sensational adj
vance in market price began. II those farmers
who still have their wheat in their bins are
holding back for still higher prices they are
but emulating the grain dealers, who have tho
wheat in storage, and who are exacting the ut
most In the matter OF value. It would hardly
be reasonable to expect the American farmer to
enter on a worldwide philanthropic movement
at this time, and sell his wheat for less than tho
market price, especially when II is morally GER
tain that some middleman would step in and
read an increased profit through second sale.

The Case Of th. naoia.

The rights of neutrals, and especially the
right TO trade with bellgerents, are coming in
for a thorough consideration, as a result of the
exchange OF notes between the United States
ana Great Britain. One OF the most difficult
phases of the question is presented by the case
of the Dacia. This vessel was owned by Ger
the beginning Of the war its registry has been
changed, and 1t is now proposed that under the
American flag II shall carry cargo OF cotton
from United States port to one in Germany.
TO this procedure Great Britain enters protest.
At the beginning of the war. when a great
fleet OF vessels sailing under the German flag
was laid up at various American ports. II was
proposed that their registry be changed. This
was objected TO at the time, but the point was
not fully settled. In one case, that of the Rob-
ert Dollar, vessel engaged between North and
South American ports, tho change of registry
was effected, and the vessel sailed under the
American flag, although the British warships
interfered with It's first voyage. On the Pacific
coast several other vessels have changed from
German to the American flag, and are engaged
in the carrying trade. These instances support
the contention that the Dacia may be allowed
to make the trip that is now requested by the
secretary OF state as a temporary arrangement.
II the right to change registry may be estab-
lished, II will go long way towards the estab-
lishment OF the American merchant marine I'M
der the proposed ship purchase act. without
this provision, however. the law would be OF
little avail. The sooner this principle OF inter-
national law is defined and fixed, the better II
will be for all nations.

Regulating Loan Agents.

A bill introduced at Lincoln has for its OBJ
jeot the further control of the men who loan
money on chattel mortgages or personal security
at exorbitant rates Of interest. The move is in
the right direction, for IL deals with one of the
abuses OF modern society. The operation Of the
loan sharks" in the past has been marked by
oppression OF their victims and source Of great
distress among those who can not protect them
selves Until better plan can be devised for
assisting those who are suddenly brought to the
necessity OF securing financial help through Dor
rowing, the loan shark will operate. bot his
operations should be so restricted and regulated
that he can not fasten unreasonable burden
on those whose misfortunes he turns to hts
profit. The poor man who is compelled to Dor
row is also compelled to pay a rate Of interest
no legitimate business enterprise could afford.
and for this, II for no other reason is entitled to
all the protection the law can give him. The
loan agent knows how TO protect himself.

Cole Blease Goes Out.

Governors Of South Carolina have figured in
American history from the very beginning OF
things. but none OF them ever attained the place
achieved by Cole Blease, who has Just voluntar-
fly withdrawn from his office. In the early
history OF the Palmetto state. 1t was not un-
common for governor to take to the high
ground when a royal commissioner from Eng
land approached the shore. Later on, a gov
ernor OF South Carolina gained immortality by
reason OF colloQuy with the governor Of North
Carolina. These characteristics were nothing
as compared with those OF the latest OF the line.
Cole Blease will be remembered as the gov
ornor who emptied the penitentiary. who quar-
relied with the state supreme court, who elected
from office all who did not fully agree with his
personal and peculiar views. who wrangled with
the president OF the United States, disbanded the
militia OF his state. and openly announced that
he would not try TO enforce all the laws or pro-
tect all the citizens Of his state. And he didn't
overlook many opportunities TO do things that
outraged cOnventlonality and ignored law and
precedent alike.
His name likely will not burden the news
columns OF the papers TO so great an extent in
the future, but he long will be held in mind as
an example Of what governor ought not to be-
