Chicago. June 2s.- Wheat prices
underwent a fresh decline today on
account Of unresponsive cable prices
and because of weather conditions.
The market also was bearishly at
footed by predictions of a bumper crop

counted predictions of poor crops in
Kansas. Opening prices, which ranged
from 4 to Is lower, with July at 1o2 y
to 1925 and September at 1854 to
1858, were followed by a general set
back all around.
Lowest prices yet this season We're
touched, July deliveries going under

comprehensive report telling that there
was no improvement in the winter crop.

Pompous Mush
Duluth News Tribune


No public man has ever produced
more meaningless epigrams than
Woodrow Wilson. One of these more
frequently quoted by those of his men.
tally insufficient admirers is Force
will not accomplish anything that is
permanent" This has the resonant
sound which most appeals to compla-
cent intellects.
There is nothing known to the
human mind which is changeless and
so permanent in the full sense.
Change is the one essential. Without
change there could be no accomplish
.ment. n the most marked accom-
plishment comes in what seems to
mortal contemporary view to be most
permanent.
Practically all the great events re-
corded as history have been accom-
plished by force. Without force, phys
ical force, armed force. which is what
Mr.. Wilson means, mighty little of
moment has been accomplished.
Wreckage has systematically and quite
invariably preceded all progress.
All human liberty has been won by
force. All democracy, all freedom, is
the product of force. All advance
ment has come through force. If there
has been no permanency won through
revolution. then. indeed, no man and
no nation 1nd any consolation in
the structure of any present govern
ment.

Universal Training
GFrom the Washington Post.

lFrom the Washington Post.J
Public opinion has gone forward with
long strides since the outbreak Of the
European war. The discussion in Con-
gress over the continental army plan
and the National Guard had an excel
lent educational effect upon public
opinion. For the first time the people
reached an understanding of the diff
ference between compulsory military
service and universal military training
They found that the latter might be as
useful in times or peace as in times of
war, giving all young men the benefits
of military discipline and physical
training.
The ballot taken by the United States
Chamber OF Commerce shows $50 votes
in favor of, and only ffty-six opposed
to a system of universal training.
Forty-three States were represented in
that ballot. The business men in
twenty-four Of these States-at least
all the business men affiliated with the
chambers OF m INK boards of
trade. working in conjunction with tho
national chamber-voted unanimously
teen others the vote ranged from more
than 100 to ! to 2 to !.
This overwhelming testimony from
that section of opinion which is not
only conservative. but is also closely
concerned with the actual cost and
with the economic problems which go
with any system of universal mill
tary training. must. inevitably have
its effect upon Congress.

DIR. JOHN \. FRITCHEY

TINE death of Dr.. John 4. Fritchey
in a Philadelphia hospital to-
day move from the political
life Of Pennsylvania q nan noted for
his shrewdness and who maintained
his personal popularity through all
manner Of Vicissitudes and in the face
of vicious attacks on the part of his
enemies. AS a practicing physician he
treated hundreds of poor families in
Harrisburg without thought or hope
of financial reward. 1t is said of him
hat he left unsolicited bills for SER
vices far in excess of the fees he re-
ceived from those who could pay.
DR.. Fritchey was a man of mex
haustible energy and Of many inter-
ests and activities. He was in he
heyday of his power during a period
Of politics when individual hrewd-
ness and personality counted for more
than ever before in the history of the
country, and probably more than ever
will be the case again. He was the

his enemies with a ruthless hand and
rewarded his friends in lavish fashion.
He was a nan OF his word and his
pledge was as good as hfs bond. His
faults were largely those of the period
in which he welded his greatest power
and his virtues any of his numerous
friends are happy to recite. That he
was mayor of the city for three terms
is evidence both If his political sa-
gacity and of his personal popular
ity.
Figures like hat of DR.. Fritchey are
few and far between in the countr
to-day. He was Of a school of politics
that has passed, never to return. He
played the game strenuously while he
was in it and in later years carried
that same enthusiasm and energy into
the q%uieter pursuits of farming and
the practice of his profession UP to the
very hour when the long developing
illness that finally carried him of
made active life impossible.

COUNCIL IN r

IN SIDE from the discourteousness
"A of the City Commissioners and
h Mayor in completely ignoring
the recommendation of the City Plan
ming Commission in the matter of
granting Swift & Co. a permit to
erect an overhead bridge on Seventh
street, the action reflects no credit on
the Judgment of the Commissioners.
Whether it be class legislation or not,
the fact remains that a dangerous
precedent has been established, and
unless the Commissioners come to a
realization of the danger and revoke
their action, Harrisburg will suffer in
the future and to no small degree.
The principle of permitting the
whole of the public to be incon-
venienced for the sake of an indi-
vidual concern is bad, and from every
standpoint the practical, esthetic and
that of example, the permission given
was ill-advised. The five men on the
Planning Commission have given of
their time and energy, without re-
Enumeration. to safeguard to the best
of their ability the present and future
interests of the rapidly expanding city.
n their deliberations. made with
careful attention to the probable con-
sequences. resulted in conclusions
which r unquestionably sound, but
which the Commissioners saw fit to
ignore
The Planning Commission is rem
oering the highest type of public
service n 1t i'll becomes the men who
hold the reins of government to ride
~roughshod over the recommendations
OF a commission created by the very
body that now ignores it for the very
purpose of advising in such matters
as that at issue.
Council erred in judgment, but the
mistake is not i~rrevocable. There is
just one thing left for the Commits
sioners to do-reconsider the vote
whereby permission for the bridge was
given and rescind the action.

Toeing-out
providence Journal


Are United States foot soldiers still
instructed to toe out? 1t has been
said that toeing-out. at an angle of
about 80 degrees, was an invention of
military men to show that they know
more than the Lord.
Very likely it has passed out of
fashion, with many another favored
practice of the parade ground. A
writer in the Journal of the American
Medical Association declares hat for
soldiers, as other men, the toeing-out
position is automatically and physiol-
ogically wrong and indefensible. Walk
ing or marching, it makes for weak
ness and hastens fatigue.
All tramps know that. of course, IL
their style of walking is evidence. And
most of US are familiar with the char
acteristic toeing-in, or straight foot,
of the American Indian. child of ma
ture. He looks awkward by contrast
to the striding soldiers. but he shuf1es
over the ground rapidly and tirelessly.
Parents are largely responsible for
p~erpetuating the fiction that toeing-out
is correct. Was there ever a child
that stood. or walked, that way. nat
urally? The child that finds it difficult
to avoid thoughtless toeing-in is apt
to be subjected to reprimand, or ridl-
Guile, at home and at school. So tho
artificial toeing-out is cultivated until
il becomes a fiXed habit.

World Turning Protectionist

from the Pittsburgh Gazette-T1mes.l
The war is having the effect of turn
ing all nations more distinctly toward
the doctrine of protection, which has
lican party since its organization. There
was a time when Great Britain was the
worlds banker, collecting toll from all
nations for the use OF her capital. She
was chief among mercantile marine
carriers and collected freight from all
shippers. In a sense she became the
worlds warehouseman for certain COM
modities produced in various parts OF
the GLOBE by enterprises owned or con-
trolled by English capital. She was the
great financial market for international
securities. She was banker, broker
and all-round middleman in world traf-
going. Naturally. she was a free trader.
Under changed conditions, she is Just
as naturally embracing the principle OF
protection.
Dreams have been entertained that
the United States would some day reach
a position similar to that once held by
Great Britain, but that day is still a
until our annual income from surplus
wealth invested all over the world ap-
proximates our income from current
production OF domestic products for eX-
port; Even under such conditions it
would not be safe to surrender the Re-
publican principles of protection. Great
Britain has found that her position is
under certain conditions even enorm-
Gus wealth may become static, so to
speak; that is, lacking in exchange
ability, just as we sometimes refer to a
man as being "land-poor." If free-trade
England, efficient Germany and frugaI
Franc find II necessary to adopt pro-
tective measures to revive and pre-
serve their commercial and industrial
ests in the United States under the
Democratic party OF free a.

To An Unborn Child

Dear Young Friend:
We are taking the liberty of drop
ping you a line. to caution you against
certain families into which you might
unwittingly introduce yourself. Re-
member, 1t is highly important just
where o are born.
Avoid New York if possible; a mis-
calculation of a few streets would
cause you untold trouble all of your
mundane life; you might either have
to spend your early years in sewing
on buttons in a horrid place sanct
Toned by the authorities, called a
sweatshop, or you might become the
son OF a millionaire and develop a
case of ennui from which you would
never recover
Even if you are born out in the
country you are not safe; you are
liable at any moment to be picked up
by a canning factory or a cotton mill.
Before being born, we suggest that
you subscribe to some Of our papers
n periodicals. BY reading them
closely you will learn much to your
possible disadvantage, in case you
happen to be born rom you will
learn what families to avoid.
1t is possible, however, that, after
looking over the field in advance in
this manner, YOU will decide not to
be born al all. With an intelligent
person like yourself we can easily con-
ceive the possibility of such a decision.
In which case we beg leave to offer
our congratulations in advance.-Life.
