FLOUR SOARING.

If the price Of -four continues to
bound upward it will soon be neces-
sary for humanity to accept and prac-
tice the doctrine that man must not
live by bread alone"
Flour has advanced to the highest
price at which it has been quoted for
many day.
The greatly reduced volume of the
wheat crop in this country is largely
responsible for the advance in -four.
To that is added the reports of the par
tiaI failure Of the wheat crops in Eu-
rope, forecasting a larger demand for
the cereal from across the sea.
If the price of -four continues to ad-
vance, economy in its use will neces-
sarily result During the COS, follow
ing the Civil war, the price of flour
scared to SIP barrel, and in some
markets even higher. 1t followed that

used as a substitute for white bread,

mated. The danger point" in the

In 1865 Bob Atherton, a soldier In
the Civil war. was discharged from the
service and set about trying to make a
living for which three years of soldier
ing had not prepared him. Yet one
kind of preparation he had gained
from has campaigning. He was not
afraid TO strike out in any path. Many
of the boys of 1861 to 1865, finding u
difficult after the war to settle down 20
humdrum life, sought untried helds.
Bob Atherton was one OF these. he
went TO Australia to begin life In what
was then a new country.
Bob wouldn't have gone had he not
believed there was no chance for MIN
at home, for he had sweetheart
whom it panied him to leave. But Elsie
Rathbone promised to wait till ne haa
made enough to send for her, when she
would go to him. This comforted him.
Australia was then, as IL is now, a
wool growing country, and Bob on
reaching Melbourne, where men were
wanted, found a position in the count
ing room of a wool broker. He learned
a lot about the business, but somehow
he did not find promotion rapid. Per
haps soldering had taken out OF him
that contentment necessary to one
working in a treadmill At any rate.
he was not interested in his business,
and it is probable that he was not as
up and doing as his employers expect
ed him to be.
He went on to a sheep ranch, where
he found more congenial occupation
riding about in the open air herding
sheep. But here, too, he was paid so
much money for 80 much, work, and
since the work was not skilled he fall
ed to gather in more funds than he
needed for his personal wants. Besides
one who has spent must of his time in
the army playing poker with the dol
lar bill greenbacks of the period was
not likely to look after the pence.
Atherton drifted from one thing TO
another for five years. He kept up a
correspondence with Elsie for four Of
them, then, considering the status un-
just to her, ceased to write. He grad
ualIy ran down till he was shabby
enough to be mistaken for a larrikin,
which means the descendent OF a
Botany bay convict. From this condi-
ton he drifted to the coast, where he
tried to pick up a scant living as a
fisherman.
One day Bob caught big fish and IN
endeavoring to extricate his hook saw
something that looked like paper in
the gullet. Curious to know what it
was, he cut the fish open and found
that it had swallowed a newspaper.
The journal had been inclosed in a
wrapper, and it not impossible that the
fish had mistaken it for another fish.
Bob unfoIded it very carefully, but the
inner sheets were comparatively dry.

WELCOME AND SYMPATHY

St Louis Republican: Two ele-
ments contend with each other in St.
Louis greeting to Candidate Hughes
today-the element of welcome and
the element of sympathy.
1t gives us pleasure, one and all, to
welcome the former insurance inyesti-
gator. We remember with delight
and admiration how Attorney Hughes.
then unknown to fame, challenged the
attention of the American people by
an examination Of the use of trust
funds by insurance officials, an exami-
nation which followed the property of
widows, orphans and invalids COM
mitted to the care and keeping of
men eminent in the ranks of repub-
lican leadership right up to the point
where it merged with the rising tide
of gold in the strong box of the re-
publican national committee.
II gives us pleasure to welcome the
former governor. We remember dis
tinctly how lonesome Mr.. Hughes was
at Albany, forced as he was upon the
New York republican machine by a
rising of the people. We remember
how Governor Hughes found himself
hampered at every turn, how the ma
chine leaders vainly sought to impose
gangsters and honest grafters" on
the public as executive appointees, and
what rocky path his reform meas
ures found through a machine-domi-
mated legislature.
And today the former investigator
of republican campaign contributions
and governor of New York against the
wish of the New York machine comes
to US as the candidate of machine re-
publicanism, nominated by a conven-
ton under the thumb of the Penroses,
the Shoots, the GaIlingers and the
Cranes, the running mate Of that en-
gine-turned standpatter, Charles War
rem Fairbanksi We are compelled to
rub our eyes in wonder
We are, therefore. sympathetic We
know that Candidate Hughes never
had a throb OF pride in the organiza-
tion of his party IN his own state in
his life, and never pretended TO have.
We know that his party is without a
constructive program, and-wOrse yet
without the spirit that begets one
We know that his long training as a
lawyer and his six years as a supreme
court Judge have made the language
of campaign adulation and buncOmbe
a difficult one. We, therefore, under
stand why he has scolded his way
across the continent and two-thirds OF
the distance back, avoiding discussion
Of the splendid constructive achieve
ments OF the Wilson administration,
and combining himself either to petty
or TO generalities about
the amelioration of the condition of
labor, and the like, too vague in their
terms and too subdued in their glitter
to giFe such progressive statesmen as
Penrose and Joe Fordney a moments
uneasiness.
Greetings and sympathy

CANNOT PULL THE PRO
GRESSIVES.

Candidate Hughes is laboriously
striving to land the progressive vote,
notwithstanding that in his speeches
he has said nothing so far to attraC:
It. At Denver he attempted to
make peace with Governor Hiram
Johnson Of California by telegraphing
his congratulations on the latter S
nomination for United States senator.
He entirely ignored the snub offered
him by Hiram Johnson, California S
governor and militant progressive 10
days before. Then Johnson, who won
the republican and progressive nomt-
nation for the United States senate lat
er, had refused to call on Hughes in
Los Angeles, though they were within
90 feet OF each other. Moreover, John
son would not even send a telegram OF
welcome TO the presidential candidate.
In none of his speeches has Mr..
Hughes ventured information as to his
attitude toward the progressives. He
has confined his utterances to generalt-
ties that some of his progressive crit
tics have characterized as "pussy-foot-
ing" repeating the statements made by
him in the hundred odd addresses he
had delivered.
At Denver Judge Ben Lindsey, the
most influential progressive of Colo
RADIO, has already declared himself for
President Wilson, and COstigan, the
progressive candidate for governor
two years ago, has indicated his pur-
pose to do likewise.

she might again hear from him. When
he told her that he had made a fortune
she rejoiced, but when he told her how
he had done il she thought he was
chatting her. However, he confirmed
his story by producing the newspaper
he had taken from the fish's belly and
an item cut from a Melbourne paper
describing his coup.
AS to how the fish carried the Eng.

mails, that is a matter OF conjecture
It can only be accounted for on the
theory that the paper was thrown

THE TRAINMEN'S SIDE.

AS the strike clouds have blown
away and the public's mind is at ease
it is good TO know that the trainmen
have accomplished a little bit OF their
demands and that the magnates are
not such hard hearted demons" as
they are sometimes painted. To get
close to the trainmen and hear their
side of the argument is good for the
soul They believe and give their
figures to substantiate what they
say.
IF there is anybody in the world
who believes that raiIroading is a snap
let him get in and get his feet wet"
says local railroad man. "All this
talk about railroad employees getting
from $3.50 TO $500 per month is all in
your eye. The average wage paid the
passenger conductors over the United
States is about S175 per month; now
mind you they have to have rooms at
both ends OF the line and pay their
own expenses all along the line. The
average passenger engineer gets on an
average of from $160 to $175 per
month and If he earns any of this
$225 and $3.50 a month wage he is
working 80 days a month and 16 hours
q day to do it. Freight engineers are
paid an average Of $145 per month and

Yes, Hr. Hughes has decided that
the president was wrong in heading
of the railroad strike. In employing
force in passing the Adamson bill, the
republican nominee declares, Mr.. Will
son delivered q severe blow at the
stability of the priceless institutions
Of this land" What Mr.. Hughes
would have liked to have said, but did
not dare to for fear of losing votes, is
that he is with capital as against labor
in all disputes. That's where he al
ways has been found, and he hasn't
said or done anything since he became
q presidential candidate to convince
the people that he expects to revise
his attitude, despite that he is plead

Artificial Respiration.

Every man, woman and child
should know exactly how to perform
artificial respiration. 1t is easier to
know and to do than how to wash
dishes or steep a pot of tea. In
drowning accidents, asphyxiation
from Illuminating gas, electric shock
and other emergencies when seconds
or minutes are so precious, to wait
for some one to bring a pHmotor or
other apparatus is to sacrifice life,
whereas IL you know how to perform
artificial respiration you may accom-
plish more than any machine can do.

of things, and TO be confronted with
