Wall Street Bears on Rampage.

For one effect Of the presidents peace note
not entirely unlocked for, witness the upset in
Wall street. This disturbance has been nervously
expected for many weeks, only awaiting the inAu-
ence that would loosen the props and allow
aerated prices to tumble. The presidents action
gives great encouragement to the bears, who have
vigorously raided the entire list Of stocks, their
rampage not even sparing such established stocks
as Union Pacific, which would seem to be immune
from ordinary upheavals The war babies, are
shrinking almost as rapidly as they swelled hold
ers appearing anxious to get out from under at
almost any price. The situation is not espe-
cially encouraging, bnt Il is interesting as show
ing the fictitious nature Of much Of the prosper
ty" on which the democrats vainglorously based
their claims Of service. Purely speculative inaa-
ton must have an ending and the sooner it comes
the better II will be for the substantial interests Of
the country.

Iners.sed ,Aereaxe Of Wheat.

The federal government reports an increase in
the acreage sown to winter wheat, setting out as
an ostensiblr reason that the high price for the
cereal has induced farmers to venture on raising
more Of it. Ncbraska's acreage IA reported as 8
per cent above that Of 1915, from which was
harvested the most profitable wheat crop ever
raised in the state. This opens the way to con-
sideration Of some Of the economic aspects 81
farming II maybe questioned II the high price
on wheat for several months has been due to the
voluntary restriction by the farmers Of the yield
Of 1915 So far as the effect Of the shortage in
crop. which was to large extent artificial is con-
cerned the farmer played into the hands Of the
grain gamblers. Until the speculative element is
removed from the marketing Of our food crops
the Auctuation in prices will be beyond the farm
ers control for It is not hxed wholly BY supply
and demand. AK RE-
The farmer must realize sooner or later the
failacy Of the "hold your wheat Icry and come
to apply to bis business the same rules Of pru-
dent conduct that govern In other industries.
Profit does not in the long run lie 50 much in the
lwh selling price as In the low unit cost Of pro-
duction Anything that tends to lower the cost
Of production increases the profit, No greater
Expense attaches to the care Of an acre Of wheat

to one that give but eight, but there is differ
ence Of 800 per cent in the unit cost Of bushcl
Of wheat under these conditions. All the fac
tors Of farm cost must be given full weight in
the problem. and the farmer will have to man

tufer II he makes It profitable Hitand miss days

The civilization" or "kultur" battle
cries were invented by the respective
governments to make the peoples fight
each others. They also ask guarantees
against Prussian aggressiveness and
Russian invasions partly for similar
reasons.
But is there a guarantee that either
side will lose in five or more years
hence or, If such should be the case,
that the victors will not begin warning
between themselves. 1t seems that
only civilization and culture are los
ing out and more so the longer this
war lasts. Peace and international
justice are demanded by progress, not
holy murder.

The Age of Air Travel
New YORK Times

In his address on the developments of aero
planning before the American Civic association in
Washington, Mr.. Henry Woodhouse told Of aero
planes capable Of travelling IFS miles an hour and
lifting fifteen tons. He told Of flying boat
of American make which recently made fight
in England carrying eight passengers in a COM
Portable cabin protected from the weather. This
machine has engines of 1000-horse power and car
res 600 gallons of gasoline. huge land aero
plane carrying twenty-one passengers was also
mentioned. Naturally, Mr.. Woodhouse believes
that the day Of air liners is close at hand:
1--WE have the engineers to build them, large
reliable motors to drive them, instruments to op
crate them, the aviators to pilot them. There are
also hnanciers ready to finance the establishing of
air lines and operate scores of these huge air
liners"
There is no need of haste, of course, Mr.
Wcodhouse thinks that in all city planning for
the future provision should be made for the land
ing Of aeroplanes on land and water. Aerodromes
as large the railroad stations will be required
Also, the introduction of air travel will lead to
the identifying of cities, Roofs will be made
slightly. Theirs will be no more hidcous water
tanks The uglincss of the water tank is due to
is practically out of the range of vision.
OF the aeroplane as a'means of ofense and de-
Tense in war Mr.. Woodhouse had much to say. OF
course. That branch Of the subject is ever up
permost these days in the thoughts OF Mortified
world. 1t is pleasanter to think OF aviation as an
engine Of progress and enlightenment, not one
which lends new terrors to barbarism Still we
must have aeroplanes for defense. Perhaps the
enthusiasm of this expert in aviation science has
carried him somewhat ahead of his contempt
raries. Air liners to be profitable must have many
passengers. II only the adventurous and daring
use them they will never pay, How long will It
take to develop people willing to be carried at
speed of IFS miles an hour at height of 1000
feet above the earth's surfaced We must ali be
aviators in time, of course, that is admitted, but
tdAVe will ne IN huild the
dromes before there is paying travelling public
for airships. Meanwhile the hnancicrs can study
the subject in all its phases and prepare them
selves to invest their money with good Judgment

The Equities Of the Case.

In justice to County Treasurer IRE, who has
been made defendant in suit by the state for
1900, it is only fair the nature Of the claim should
Be explained The state Is seeking to recover
this sum as 10 per cent interest penalty on state
tax collections held back BY Mr. Ure against the
demand Of the state treasurer that he make pay
ments monthly instead of half-yearly Mr.. Ure's
construction9of the law having been adversely
,adjudicated by the supreme court. There is no
contention that any official has gained or lost
anything personally by the transaction, the only
possible difference being in diversion of in
terest on the withheld money from the state
treasury to the county treasury. II the $500
is correctly computed at 10 per cent, then Doug
las county funds on deposit at per cent have
been augmented by the munifcent sum Of $500;
or since state funds are on deposit at per cent,
the state treasury may be actually out as much
as $l,l4o Here is the meat in the cocoanut, look
ing strictly at the equities Of the case rather than
the further foolish wasting Of public money in
additional court costs and lawyers fees.
