A Play for Patriots.

"The Fall of a Nation" is sure to
stir patriotic enthusiasm when pre-
sented here next Monday at the OPP
era house. In New York and Chi
cago the great spectacle was the
mecca of many thousands of patriot
ic Americans who cheered the big
scenes to the echo. Thomas Dixon's
play las likewise Victor Herbert's
accompanying music vibrates with
genuine Americanism. The author
describes it as ga bugle call to arms
for the national defense!" The
story is of an imaginary invasion of
the United States by foreign pow
err. After the defeat of our puny
army and the subsequent usurpation
of authority at Washington, the
women of the country come to the
rescue and by means of secret,
oath-bound conspiracy contrive to
expel the invaders. Special musical
score and fine orchestra.

The value and need of a newspa-
per in the household was never
greater than at the present time.
The great war in Europe is now half
wav into it's third year, and, whether
peace be at hand or yet be far off, it
and the events to follow it are sure
to be of absorbing interest for many
a month to come.
These are Notwithstanding affairs, in
which the United States, willing OF
unwilling, is compelled to take a
part. No intelligent person can
ignore such issues.

END HEARINGS ON TAX BILL
Delegations From Chicago and New
York Protest Against Features
of Measure.

Washington, May 16.-Public hear
ings on the war revenue bill before
the senate finance committee were
concluded with statements by the last
of more than 100 representatives of
industries heard since Friday in pro-
test against heavy taxes proposed in
the measure.
Nearly all the witnesses agreed that
they were willing to assist the govern
ment in every way possible, even to
surrendering their entire profits, but
they objected to the rates in the bill
as confscatory and ruinous.
The last sessions were devoted
largely to further hearing of the pro-
tests of newspaper and periodical pub
fishers against the proposed increases
in second-class mail rates and the ta~
on print paper.
A delegation of Chicago and New
York business men told the commit
tee that the amount proposed to be
raised by the revenue bill was ex-
cesslve and that it would impose too
great a burden upon this generation.
Many of the publishers produced
records of their books before the com
mittee to show that they were in no
financial condition to meet the pro-
posed taxation, and declared that IL
the measure was allowed to stand
many publications throughout tn,
country would have to suspend.
Chairman Simmons did not indicate
when the committee will report, but
1t probably will be ready very shortly
after the house passes the bill the
last of this week.

American oIstaste for Privacy.

The great novelist or the great com
poser can afford telephoneless hut

quiet to think. Plain Americans must
have the telephone at their elbow day

clally as well as commercially. The
joyousness with which Americans
have welcomed the telephone to their
ears and lips no doubt flows 10 part at
least from our national distaste for
privacy. We don't pull down our
Hhodes at night and We hate hedges

END GRAIN GAMBLING
BOARDS OF TRADE TAKE DRAS-
TIC ACTION AT CHICAGO.
Committee to Appeal to U. S. Officials
Not to Act-Prices on July and
September Crops Set.

Chicago, May disagreement to
spread the ban on wheat buying over
the United States and Canada was
reached in Chicago at Il conference of
representatives of leading grain ex-
changes of this country and of the
Winnipeg mart.
AT the conference q committee of
three was named to go to Washing
ton at once and appeal TO the depart
ment of agriculture to have the fed
eral authorities leave the matter of
adjustment of the wheat situation to
the several boards of trade Of the
country.
The men named were j. II. McMil-
Ian, Minneapolis; n. j.. Moftitt, st.
Louis, and c. b. Pierce of Chicago.
The plan adopted by tie Chicago
board of trade to curb wheat prices
and keep down the cost of flour was
Endorsed at the session which was
held in the board of trade building.
An indefinite ban on trading in flu
lures was agreed on and the only new
buying allowed will be that TO close
existing contracts.
The Chicago prices-$2.75 for July
wheat, $2.45 for September wheat,
May corn $1.61h and May oats 1874
cents-probably will be adopted as the
standard.
The following statement was given
out:
1.-THE delegates assembled in Chica-
go May Is, 1917, comprising represent
alive millers from the southwest, the
northwest and the middle West, as
well as prominent grain merchants
from other sections of the country,
have approved of what was done by
the different exchanges in fixing maxi
mum prices. and have decided to rec
Ommend to the various exchanges
which they represent that such prices
be continued and the buying restricted
to the closing of existing contracts I'M
til further notice,
1.-THE action which has been taken,
we believe, has been very beneficial
to the public in stabilizing prices and
counteracting the hysteria that has
prevailed In this country for some
time past.
