WORLDS GREATEST TRUST.

Additional reports regarding the
Paris conference and further disclos-
ure of the plans of the Allies reveal
the purpose of continuing the existing
military alliance in the form of a
commercial alliance after peace is de-
clared. 1t is proposed to adopt by mu-
tual agreement a system of tariff du-
ties whereby the allied powers will
endeavor to promote their own trade
and to prevent the Central Powers, es-
pecially Germany, from regaining
their share of the worlds trade which
they enjoyed prior to the war. In this
scheme the United States is to be ac-
corded the place of neutral" Meth
err enjoying the advantages of the AL
lies nor suffering quite as much dis
advantage as the Central Powers.
There is, of course, considerable ques-
ton as to how far it will be practi-
cable for the Allies to discriminate
against the United States and in fav
or of themselves, without inflicting as
great injury on the trade of this coun-
u /
will be the chief object of the discrimi-
nation. The plan involves, of course,
the abrogation of all treaties contain
ing most favored nation" clause
and, with England, Russia, France,
Belgium, Roumania, Servia and Mon
.tenegro, together with the English and
French colonies each enjoying tariff
advantages in the market of all the
others, the arrangement promises to
constitute the greatest commercial
trust the world has ever witnesses.
Even if the word of the Allies. that
his gigantic commercial syndicate is
organized primarily for their joint ad
vantage, ssecondarily as a punitive
measure against their present enemies
and with no purpose whatever to in
jure the United States, be accepted as
literally true, it is obvious that in OPP
Grafton such a colossal combination
cannot but work grave injury to the
foreign trade of the United States.

WHO "KEPr US OUT OF WARP

Claims that President Wilson has
kept us out of war" are SO redicu-
lousy untrue that il is amusing to
those who know the facts, declares
Representative Charles F. Curry Of
California His refusal to recognize
Huerta as the de facto President of
Mexico, as was done by European ma
tions, encouraged bandit chiefs to
continue their guerrilla warfare. Since
then his vacillating policy, putting on
embargoes one day and lifting them
the next, has prolonged the resolu-
lions.
President Wilson committed two
acts of war against Mexico. One punt

purpose OF compelling Huerta to fire

not contain accommodation for such.

THE DAY OF AToNEMENT.

The Day of Atonement or "Yom
Kippur," the tenth day of the month
of Tishri. begins at sunset Friday,
| October 6, and ends at sunset Satur-
day, October 7. The thought underly-
| ing the day is expressed in the scrip
| 'ural words "On this day He will
atone for you, to purify you from all
your sins" 1t is a day, therefore,
of reconciliation of man with his fell
bowman and with God, and comes as
climax to the holiday season which
began Wednesday evening, Septem-
Der 81. with the New Years Day and
continued through the ten days Of
pentience. On New Years Day of
Judgment of ordinary people, who had
been neither completely righteous nor
utterly sinful was left undecided and
the opportunity was given them for
repentance; now the Day of Atone
ment provides all men with the pos
sibility of returning to their God and
of finding reconciliation with Him
through prayer.
DAYS in the Jewish calendar. 1t is
passed in fasting and prayer. The
whole day is spent in the synagog.
In the evening there is the service|
which commences with the chanting
of the well known Kol Nidre prayer.
The day proper has four services. Of
these the Mussaf or additional SER
vice contains a description of the
atonement rites as practiced in thei
ancient days in the Temple at Jeru-
salem; and the Neilah service is I'M
derstood to be held at the time when
decision is finally made as to mans
fate, and thus the Neilah prayers in,
stead of having the usual phrase.
"Inscribe us in the book of life" uses
the expression: Seal us in the book
of life"
According to Jewish tradition ex-
pressed in an ancient law-book, the
Day of Atonement. when spent in
praying and repenting, will bring par
don for sins between man and God; !
but as for the sins committed by man
against his fellow man the Day can
not bring pardon until he has appeased
his fellow man. This idea is the basis
of the effort always made before the
Day of Atonement to bring peace be-
tween such friends who have become
estranged and are on unfriendly
terms with one another; and in this
way, the day will put the worshipper
at peace not only with his Maker, but /
also with his fellow man

THE FARMER AND THE TARIFF

i nave not time to describe in
detail the havoc wrought by the
tariff act OF 1913 (the Underood-
Simmons law. | shall only re-
fer to one matter, the raid made
upon the farmers. Nearly all of
their products were either put
upon the free list, or SO great
ly reduced as to be practically
on the free list Had it not been
for the great European war our
farmers would have sustained
great losses from this change in
our tariff. With wheat crop of
a billion bushels in Canada in
1915, our wheat farmers, but for
the great war, would have had
sixty cent wheat instead of a
dollar a bushel and over. The
main crop of the South, cotton,
has practically no competition,
and herce is immune from tariff

Without the war. the wheat farm

Tho 2:13 Pace.
The 2:13 pace was completed in
three flying heats, Heiret Marie, a
brown mare, owned by Ralph Childs
of Princeton, ILL.,, winning three
straight heats from a field of seven
equally fast starters. Heiret Marie
placed at third position in the start
of the first heat but a good getaway
enabled her to swing in for the pole
and win. At pole, ChiIds serr Ma

lead during the entire mile, winning
the second heat In the last Heiret
Marie paced well, again leading the
others. The winner averaged 2:l2A
in the first two brushes, and 2:13H in
the third and last mile.
Second place in the pace was won
by Dexter NJ, c. NJ. Morfords bay
gelding from Toledo, Iowa. Dexter
NJ. finished fourth in the first mile,
third in the second, and second in the
third Dexter NJ. pushed Heiret Ma
rie hard, in the last heat, causing the
winner to show little extra pep on
the home stretch.
Rollie, a bay gelding owned by
Howard Baker OF Toledo, Iowa, made
a good showing in the pace, winning
second in two successive heats, but

The 2:24 Trot.
Five heats We're required before a
winner could be declared in the 2:24
trot. The Substance, Joe McLaugh-
Inns bay mare, entered from Mar
shalltown, tsepped off the mile for
firsts in the second, third and fifth
heats and won first money. The last
heat of the :24-trot was the most
spectacular. The Substance drew
to rcad on the first quarter. The
next half mile saw Princess Mary
ahead by a length, and The Sub
stance, Virginia Watts and Grey Rex
running side by side. On the final
quarter The Substance graadully
pulled forward, leaving the second
tier of horses and nOsed under the
wire q meagre foot in the lead of
Princess Mary for first win. The Sub
stance placed fifth in the first mile,
first in the second third and fifth,
and third in the fourth. The Sub
stances best time was :19H in the
third heat.
Second money went to Princess

stance in the fifth, when Joe Nc

quarter stretch and won by the length
of his mares head.
Grey Rex, a grey horse owned and
entered by J. r. Thompson of Des
Moines, was third winner of money.
Grey Rex drawing sixth position in
the start OF the first heat, drew ahead
of the competitors and won the first
mile, stepping it off in :2OA. Grey
Rex was third in the second and third
heats. fifth in the fourth heat and
fourth in the fifth.
Virginia Watts, Z. B. McCoy's bay
mare, entered from Avoca, Iowa, was
fourth, although she won three sec
onds, a third and fourth.
Pay Banks, a sorrel gelding belong
ing to Old. Harris of Plymouth, ILL.,,
was slow starting and caused the
starter much trouble in scoring. The
was too fast for Pay Banks
and he was withdrawn after the third |
heat.
Another horse making a poor show !
ing was Capokane, grey stallion
owned by John Obrecht of Harlan, la.
With Pay Banks, Capokane was dis
tanced in the third heat and with
drew from the race.
Best time for the race was made
by The Substance and Princess Mary,
who made 1:19A in third and fourth
miles respectively.
Tho Running Races.
The running race, while unpopular
with horsemen and racing officials, is
most sensational, and appeals to the |
;rowd. Only three jockies entered
he three-quarter mile dash yester-
lay afternoon. but their race was suf-
iciently close to create excitement.
