EFFECT OF A MESSAGE

Representative James Francis
Burke journeyed a time ago to the
classic little college town of Grove
City, Pa, to deliver Pr address on
Money" Shortly before the date set
for the address something had gone
awry with the reservoir system at
the town and the board OF health had
been called on to find the cause OF
100 cases OF sudden Illness.
But Burke knew nothing about the
troubles with the water system, and
the opening remark II the chairman
OF the reception committee was suf-
ficient TO startle even a sterner spir
1t than he.
Glad TO see you, Mr.. Burke" said
the chairman, "but our audience will
not be as large as We had expected
Within "a hours after It was announc-
ed that you were to speak here more

THE osLoouY OF THE PIG

A Chicago dispatch notes that a
pigs head was proposed as an en-
blem of the city Of Chicago, to be
used on badges for the coming Chris
tian Endeavor convention in that
city next June. Chicago people have
naturally protested and some other
subject will be chosen. The incident
raises the question as to how far the
lowly repute of the pig is deserved.
II you want to think up the mean
est possible epithet, you cal a man
a hog or pig. No other term COM
pares with it in contumely. Dog APP
pears in the term a dogs life, which
signifies that person Is greatly
abused, but conveys no suggestion OF
reproach. Skunk gives the idea of
a rather active power for malevolence
emitting the person thus described
to a certain backhanded respect. Pig
suggests mere coarse grossness, with
out redeeming feature.
Probably the contempt in which the
pig is regarded Is due to his sup
posedly dirty habits. Many of the
old time farmers used to keep him
primarily to work over stable ma
nure. The pig is said to prefer clean
quarters. Certainly in his infancy he
comes forth a pretty ball of white
ness. He is doomed by custom to
dirty and odorous seryltnde. What
wonder that he puts both feet in the
trough since eating is his one con
ISOLATION.
Under the food producers art, his
flesh is turned into golden bacon,
whose spicy tang is the most appe-
titizing sensation of the provision
shop. Ham and pork are the back
bone of the table in these days of
high cost OF beef.
Perhaps sometime the pig will be
kept in cleaner and sweeter quarters.
The raising of food under such con
ditions should be more wholesome to
the consumer and more profitable to
the producer. The pig might even
acquire a social station equal to that
OF the OK or the sheep, and perhaps
be acceptable as an emblem to any
city that was prominently concerned
In preparing him for the market.

TWO DOLLARS
A BUSHEL FOR WHEAT
is VERY NEAR

Chicago, Jan. Two dollars a
bushel for wheat the dream that
only enthusiasts ever expected to
come was within a half cent of be.
ing realty today on one grade Of
wheat II the cost of delivery to Eur
ope might be counted as part of the
price. A carload of durum wheat
was sold to so to Italy on a basis
that figured delivered at destination
sl.99 IL bushel.
Such a price breaks all records for
durum wheat. The supply Of that
variety in the United States Is said
to be virtually exhausted for this
season.
Rapid upturns were witnesses in
he speculative market. News that
France and Italy had purchased l.
100000 bushels or more today at the
seaboard made the prices OF options
here leap higher than at any time
since the beginning of the European
var and reach levels that before had
not been equalled since the celebrat
ed attempt at a world wide squeeze
by Joseph Letter.
May wheat, the chief speculative
delivery, went to 81 .3S SIS as against
81 SO at the finish last night. Among
the purchasers of the May option
was the Rockefeller foundation which
wanted to make sure of charity sup
plies for Belgium and had been un
able to get satisfactory terms or
wheat for spot cash.

TIE NEW GJvEaHoas

One of the events of the month is
the Inauguration OF new governors IN
r7cet OF the states. II is commonly
an occasion OF some ceremony. Our
democratic republic theoretically has
little use for forms and ceremonies
and symbols. Practically the Am
crican people like a splurge and dem
onst,ation. Most of the new cover
nors go in surrounded with much god
lace. band music, and a general en-
yironment OF tail coats and high hats
One of the most notable aspects OF
this office is the frequency with which
Il changes. Many states keep sena-
tors and representatives at Wash
ington year after year. Joe Cannon,
Champ Clark, and Cabot Lodge have
long been household words. But
governors live amid the fierce heat
OF constant change.
Looking through list of govern
ors dated but three years ago the
editor was surprised TO find but sew
en- out of the 4S who were the same
at that earlier period. The other Al
had given way to more skilful cam
paigning, better ability, or smoother
political arts.
This suggests that the competition
for the position as governor is much
more intense than for that of Con
gresham. The Congressman must
absent himself from business inter
est. lie must remain years at Wash
ington If he wishes to climb beyond
the role of spectator. A governor
is the undisputed sachem of the poll
teal tribes at home. A representative
drops back into private life after his
term expires, and only his intimates
think to call him eX-Congressman.
a governor of his state is a COVER
nor until he dies and the halo OF past
greatness never quite fades out. The
governorship is a prize that tempts
many men of brains and genius.
Once the prize is acquired the winner
is soon pushed out by the climbing
ambitions of other men. The senti-
ment of the political community Is
that the possession of the Office
should rotate quickly.

quently lived UP to their reputation.
Today baseball is on far higher
basis. Many college men and 9TH
err fellows of high character have
turned it into a reputable business.
Still there is tendency to regard
agreements loosely, and contract
jumping has been very common.
1t is quite possible that in order
to maintain a needed discipline, the
big leagues have turned the screws
several times tighter than they ought
in law and justice. The courts will
pass on that point, and the public
will spend judgment.
Meanwhile ball players can still
further advance their standing, and
gain added freedom, by cultivating a
reputation for business methods in
the signing and keeping OF greements.
A thousand dollars extra ought not
to look good to them. IL they could
only realize what uncertain property
they become when once they jump
their contracts.

BALL PLAYERS AND TRUSTS

Organized baseball has been called
the worst trust Of all, since 1t is the
only one able to secure a monopoly
OF flesh and blood. The suit OF the
Federal League to break up the bod
les operating under the National
Agreement is an event in American
athletic history.
Ordinarily the sports settle their
own quarrels. by the codes prevailing
in their own field. Baseball is so
deeply ingrained in our life that the
courts have to determine its more
serious disputes.

Duplicate German Siege Guns


Viscount Haldane, the British lord
high chancellor in the house OF lords
today made the interesting announce
ment that British experts were busy
producing a satisfactory equivalent
to the German forty-two centimeter
gun which did such execution
against the Belgian fortresses at the
beginning Of the war, and that re-
cruiting was so satisfactory that the
necessity had not arisen for conscrip.
ton. The chancellor would not dis
close the strength OF the British ar
my, but military experts estimate it
cannot be less than 100000 men,
counting the regulars. reservists, ter
ritorials and Lord Kitcheners new
army.

port of the cardinals arrest insists,
however on the correctness of its

that even now Cardinal MERCER is
