This may help to answer the aues-
ton: why DO Men Go to Congress-:

side-tllat he had surmounteG his ma
jor difficulty when he made his initial
splash. Taking unto himself a second
term looked like a mere matter OF
routine. And so he told the bright
young newspaperman that while he

thing, he would not need his services
again.
Now, nobody likes 10 be left entirely

ager, While he liked Mitchell and
thought he was a first rate congress-
man, earnestly desired, for the purpose
of confirming ideas he held of his own
usefulness, to see Mitchell have none
too Easy Il time. He held down sub
terranean thoughts and looked about
for AN obstacle to place in Mitcaelrs
path.
The obstacle that he finally selected
was q wealthy manufacturer. one w.
IL. Carter, whose name is familiar to
all who make a practice of reading UNI

close enough to the people. The re-
mark rather nettled Carter and he
came back with this retort:

The retort was not only a good ad-
vertisement for his business. but went
well politically. To Carriers extreme
vexation-so he insisted--he was

And so here he is.

GERMANS TO SINK
NEUTRAL VESSELS

London, Nov. A special dispatch
from Amsterdam features statement
of the Berlin Kreuz Zeitung to the ef-
feet that Germany has decided to
make :he safety Of neutral ships carry
ing neutral cargoes dependent upon
guarantees that no part of such car
goes shall he landed, whether through
British compulsion or not. at any Brit
ish port. Such guarantees, according
to the kreuz Zeitung, can consist only
in formal undertakings by Great Brit
ain and such an undertaking will be
recognized by Germany only from case
to case.
This is taken to mean that in event
of any neutral cargo or part thereof
being landed in England the German
government Immediately will cease to
recognize the inviolability Of neutral
Ships.
The Berlin paper implies that the
case of the Deutsch freighter Bloom
ersdiik. sunk by German submarine
of Nantucket October s. will be ar
sued along these lines and it will be
commended since the intermediate des-
tlnation of the vessel was Kirkwall
tneTe WAS UO SudI dhtee thdt tiiS "uoiV
cargo would reach Holland.
The British press also infers from a
Berlin dispatch summarized in the
Koelnische Zeitung that Germany pro-
poses 10 sink all neutral ships, wheth-
er bearing neutral cargoes or other
wise unless Great Britain consents to
abandon the right to compel discharge
at Kirkwall of any part of neutral
cargo suspected OF having an enemy
destination.

Been Taking o. Late.

Chicago. Nov. 4.--Despite sharp TEN.
porary bulges the wheat market in the
last week has leaned mainly to the
bear side. Rains in Argentine handi-
capped the bulls and so too for time
did apparent prospects of a removal of
tension between the United States and
Germany. The outcome has been net
declines of &C to &C as compared
with a week ago.
On Monday the Argentine drought
which was disturbing Europeans went
suddenly into eclipse on account of the
torpedoing of steamer with many
Americans aboard Then came news
on Tuesday of unsettled weather in
Argentina and on Wednesday, of ar.
rangements at San Francisco for wheat
imports from Australia.
Big export business yesterday and
the day before rallied the wheat mar
ket from setbacks due to continued re.
ports Of Argentine rains.
Increasing arrivals Of corn tended
to make that cereal relatively little
weaker in price than either wheat or
oats. Losses in oats reflected the
weakness Of other grain but were only
fractional.
Provisions have been depressed by
unusually large receipts Of hogs that
were TOO light in weight to meet with
quick disposal.

OF twenty-five agricultural products
seventeen were placed on the free list.
The others were reduced 60 per cent.
Cattle, wool, beef. mutton, corn. eggs.

During the ten months period of the

from S72.6940O0 to S174622.000 In
three months during the fiscal year

corn from $4,000 bushels to 4.450.000

same for the consumer.
The Corn Products Co. and the
Standard Starch Co. bought much Of
the imported corn. Most of the beef
was imported from the South Ameri-
can plants of the Chicago packers. In
the same fashion the revenue lost to
the country on free SUGAR went to the
SUGAR refners. not to the people.

and they will continue in charge when
the war is over. To do otherwise will
spell ruin for Europe. Under govern
ment direction the new efficiency Of
the people and the countless new fac
tories will be utilized to turn out man
ufactured articles of all kinds.
They will be sold at price that will
win back the lost markets and open up
new ones. American can no more hope
to compete with Europe under these
conditions than can she hope to fly to
the moon. While the people Of Europe
are being hardened in the fire for SER
vice after the war, all American is on
what can be likened to a champagne
drunk-and there is going to be an
awful headache when the war is over.
The great problem that confronts
this nation Is not to win the impossible
European markets. or the difficult
world markets. The thing that is alb
solutely necessary for this country is
to protect it's own market so that
Europe does not close down every fac.
