RISE IN WHEAT.

Even men of long experience in
the grain trade have looked with
amazement on the performance Of
wheat. Recent events seemed strik-
ing enough, but developments last
week equalled. if they did not sur
pass, anything that has been seen
since the war began. Those who pro-
fessed disappointment because prices
broke rather sharply in the early
dealings subsequently witnessed a
rise of over 10c during a single ses-
sion and not until the May delivery
at Chicago touched S1.55 was the
upward movement definitely checked
Confidence on the buying side had
been tempered by somewhat better
crop news over the weekend, but
bullish enthusiasm became more ram
pant than ever after the publication
of the government report on Tues
day Past experience has demonstrate
ed that private claims of crop damage
are usually exaggerated, yet the Off
cial figures last week more than con-
firmed all that had been said about
deterioration in spring wheat from
rust and blight Recent estimates of
only 100000, 900 bushels for this crop
had been regarded with suspicion, but
the Washington prediction is 1.000,-
900 bushels less, and 654000,000 bush
els is the forecast for spring and Win
ter wheat combined.
This means the smallest harvest
since 1911 and compares with the rec
ord-breaking yield of over a billion
bushels last year. Under the condi-
lions, it is surprising that prices have
registered an extensive advance and
there are no means of telling how
much higher. if any, spectators may
lift the markets.

LOCAL ROAD CLUBS.

Only a few persons get what they
wish without working for it. Good
roads cannot be obtained by merely
wishing for them 1t is necessary to
work for them, and to work contin-
ually and forcefuuy. This is just as
true of good dirt roads as of the most
expensive types. Furthermore, one or
two men in community can accom-
plish very little, except to persuade
Others to help actively in the cam
paign for Improvements. Roads are
community affairs, and good roads are
only obtained ana maintained by
community energy expended contin-
nously
Ii IS not enough FOR a man to say
he IS interested in good roads; he
must prove his faith by his works.
Hundreds OF gopl road clubs have
bee, organizs1. bit few have lived
long or accomplished much because
they did not work continuously along
well-laid plans Yet there is hardly
community where a good roads club
cannot become a strong influence in
improving the local highways and by
ways.
The main roads receive the atten-
ton Of the state and the county Off
Gals, hut the much greater mileage
OF roads which are not parts Of
through routes must always be of To-
cal concern only. The improvement
Of through routes by the active, unit
ed effort OF numerous persons inter
ested IN touring is one of the most
noticeable results Of large part Of
the present methods Of road propa-
ganda.
The same sind Of work in com
munity will bring about equally good
results in the oetterment of local
roads. II is the system of local roads
which means most to a large portion
OF the rural taxpayers, for It is over
the local roads that they go to mar
ket. their children 80 to school, and
they take part in the social life OF
their neighborhood The loea! clul
can accomplish a great deal OF good
for these roads. as has probably beer
shown most noticeahIy by the results
Of the work OF the 365-Day Road Club

MAINTENANCE OF
AMERICAN RIGHTS

Had this Government by the
use of both informal and formal
diplomatic opportunities left no
doubt that when we said "strict
accountability" we meant pre-
ciseIy what we said, and that
we should unhesitatingIy vindi-
cate that position, am conf
dent that there would have been
no destruction Of American lives
by the sinking Of the Lusitanla.
There, we had ample notice; in
fact, published notice. Further
more, we knew the situation
and we did not require specific
notice. instead of whiting
away our forma statements by
equivocal conversations, we need
ed the straight, direct and de-
cisive representations which ev-
cry diplomat and forsign office
would understand. I believe
that in this way we should have
been spared the repeated IS
ssults on American lives. More
over, q firm American policy
would have been strongly sup
ported by our people and the OPP
portunities for the development
Of bitter feeling would have
been vastly reouced.-FFon Mir.

"AMERIcA FIRST AND AMER
IcA EFFICIENT"

We come to state In a plain
and direct manner our faith,
our purpose and our pledge.
This representative gathering is
a happy augury. It means the
strength Of reunion. II means
that the party of Lincoln is re-
stored, alert, effective. It means
the unity Of common percep-
ton Of paramount national
needs. It means that we are
neither deceived nor benumbed
by abnormal conditions. We
know that we are in a critical
period, perhaps more critical
than any period since the Civil
War. We need a dominant
sense of national unity; the ex-
ercise Of our best constructive
powers; the vigor and resource
fulness of a quickened America.
We desire that the Republican
Party as a great liberty party
shall be the agency Of national
achievement, the organ Of the
effective expression of dominant
Americanism. What do | mean
by that? ! mean America con.
scious of power, awake to obli-
CATION, erect In seIf-respect, pre-
pared for every emergency, de-
voted to the ideals of peace, in
stinct with the spirit Of human
brotherhood, safeguarding both
Individual opportunity and the
public interest, maintaining a
weII-ordered constitutional sys-
tenn adapted to local seIf-govern-
ment without the sacrifice of
essential national authority, APP
preciating the necessity Of sta
bllity, expert knowledge and
thorough organization as the in
dispensabIe conditions Of Sc
curity and progress; a country
loved by its citizens with a pa
triotic ferVor permitting no divl-
sion In their allegiance and no

The NATION is SHOCKING.
LY UNPREPARED.

1t is apparent that we are
shockingly unprepared. There
IS no room for controversy on
this point since the object les
son on the Mexican border. All
our available regular troops
tiess, / believe, than 100000 are
there or in Mexico, and as these
have been deemed insufficient
| the entire National Guard has
been ordered out; that is, we
are summoning practically all
our movable military forces in
order to prevent bandit incur
slons. In view of the warnings
OF the past three years, it is
mexcusable that we should find
ourselves in this plight. For
our faithful guardsmen, who
with a fine patriotism responded
to this call and are bearing this
burden, / have rothing but
| praise. But | think it little
short of absurd that we should
be compelled to call men from
their shops, their factories, their
offices and their professions for
such a purpose. This, however,
is not all. The units of the Ma
tional Guard were at peace
strength, which was only about
one-half the required strength.
1t was necessary to bring In
recruits, for the most part raw
and unframed. Only a small
percentage of the regiments re-
cruited up to war strength will
have had even a years training
in the National Guard, which at
the maximum means one hun
dred hours of military drill, and.
on the average. means much
less. Men fresh from their
peaceful employments and ply
sically unprepared have been
hurried to the border for actual
service. They were without
proper equipment; without
necessary supplies; suitable
conditions Of transportation
were not provided. Men with
dependent families we're sent;
and conditions which should
have been well known were dis
covered after the event And
yet the exigency. comparatively
speaking, was not very grave
one. 1t involved nothing that
could not readily have been fore
seen during the past three years
of disturbance. and required
only a modest talent for organ
ization That this Admmistra-
ton while pursuing its course
in Mexico should have permitted
such conditions to exist is al
most incrediDle.-From Mr.
Hughes speech OF acceptance.

DUTY OF THE ADMlNISTRA-
TON TO STOP PLOTS AND
CONSPlRAClES.

We denounce all plots and
conspiracies in the interest of
any foreign nation. Utterly in
tolerable is the use of our soil
for alien intrigues. Every Am
erican must unreservedly con-
denim them, and support every
effort for their suppression. But
here, also, prompt, vigorous and
adequate measures on the part
of the Administration were
needed. There should have
been no hesitation; no notion
that it was wise and polite to
delay. Such an abuse of our
territory demanded immediate
and thorough-going action. AS
soon as the Administration had
notice of plots and conspiracies,
it was it's duty to stop them.
1t was not lacking in resources.
It's responsibility for their con-
tinuance cannot be escaped by
the condemnation of others
