THE Understanding HiIls' little book
Of lyrics is a curious mixture of classic and
modern styles Of writing. The poems are
full Of pretty conCeits but the diction is
too formal for vers libre, with the result
that the style is labored and self-conscOus
at times vet there are lines that sing them
selves as verses should, and wherever Mr.
Biddlc becomes more spontaneous, as in the
little love poems. the effect is better The
thoughts are often commonplace and rather
too phIlosophiCaly expressed. giving the un-
fortunate impression Of being didactic. one
feels that the author should cultivate a
greater east of expression in poems as sub

Pullman, Wash, Friday, June 8, 1917

fering any claims for exemption from
service, too many of the people are
seeking excuses for not modelling
their money in the service of their
country. They seem to fail to realize
that the success of this war loan de-
Ponds upon the number of people
who subscribe to it, and not on the
amount of bonds sold. They are
counting their dollars, while the ma
tons of the world friends and foes
alike, are counting with breathless
anxiety the pulse beats of American
patriotism.
Too many people are figuring how
much they can make out OF the war.
instead of how much they can put
into it. The Benedict Arnolds of this
conflict are not the members of con-
gress who voted their honest convic-
tions in opposing a declaration of
hostilities, but the human vultures
who are planning to wax fat on the
blood and necessities of their coun-
trymen. The manufacturers and
spectators who are raising the
prices of the necessities of life. for
no reason except that the war gives
them an opportunity to increase
their profits, should be regarded.

Now is the time when every citi-

part of a patriot or traitor. Some
will endeavor to don the makeup and
speak the lines of patriots, while
secretly playing the role of traitors,
but the time is coming when they
will be unmasked and exposed to
contempt and punishment. BE not

SPLENDID ENDORSEMENT

In his annual address to the State
Grange, Master G.. B. Kegley gave
the following splendid endorsement
of the work of the State College:
The Patrons of Washington have
just cause to rejoice with all the
people of Washington over the vic
tory won in the unusual fight waged
against this, our state institution.
This was an attempt to create an
aristocracy of education-in other
words to reduce the farmers school
to a second class college and elevate
the university to a school for the
rich. thus drawing an overwhelming
line of distinction in society We
have always demanded the same edu-
cational opportunities for our boys
and girls as are offered to the city
bred youths. This is nothing but
plain democracy. The way you
responded to the call for help gave
me the deepest satisfaction. The
victory was all that could be asked,
and we predict, now that the fight
is ended, that such an attack will
not be made again, and that our
schools will be made stronger and
stronger, and, If possible, more re-
sponsiye to the wishes of those they
are intended to serve.
Our acquaintance with DR.. Hol-
land has broadened into friendship.

leader, yet, withal, true democratic

TRADING IN FUTURES

The temporary elimination of flu
ture trading on the grain exchanges
by the voluntary action of the ex-
changes themselves will prevent
such flurries in the grain markets as
occur when the shorts" attempt to
cover their sales, but it will not stop
speculation in grain There still will
be just as much opportunity as ever
for men to buy grain and hold it for
rise in price, just as wholesale deal
ers have been boarding sugar. AS a
matter of fact. the bad effects of
grain speculation are mostly in the
control of actual grain, and not in
the buying and selling of futures, as
is so commonly supposed.
Understand, | do not defend flu
ture trading, Much of it is gambling
pure and simple. The so-called le-
Ultimate phase of it, the hedging"
Of grain, is possible only because
somebody is gambling. But at the
same time, under normal conditions
with adequate transportation facili-
ties and free working of the other
machinery of distribution, future
trading does not result in pushing
prices out of line with supply and
demand.
Vast quantities of grain are bought
and sold on paper, it is true, but the
sales and purchases tend to balance
each other from day to day, so that
when the time of settlement comes
in May, July, September or Deem
Der, comparatively few of the deals
that have been made are left to be
closed by the actual delivery of
grain. With a normal supply Of
grain available the shorts" are able
to cover their sales, and the market
is not disturbed.
But in times such as these, when
the supply of grain is short and the
railroads can not furnish adequate
transportation facilities the Shorts"
have difficulty covering their sales,
and as a consequence prices are
boosted beyond reason. This affects
everybody who has anything to do
with grain and its products and may
bring widespread disaster The
probability of these abnormal con-
ditions prevailing in the immediate
future justifies the prohibition of
future trading at this time.
1t will be mighty interesting to
watch the behavior of the grain mar
kets without future trading. Future
trading has been defended on the
grounds that it steadies prices and
makes hedging" possible. We shall
now see what prices will do without
future trading. Inability to hedge"
could be met by some form of risk
insurance. Maybe we can get along
very nicely without future trading.
1t would be better if we could

Fish and Game

The payment of a fine of $40 and costs
of $1.0S, amounting to s1l.0S, by Walter T.
HIATT Of Crawford on Dec. Is for might
hunting has been reported to the fish
and game commission by S. L. Worcester
of Machias, chief warden for Washing
ton county.
This case has unusual interest, owing
to the fact that it is an outcome of a
case reported last October where horse
was killed by man lacking" for moose,
the newspaper reports at the time being
in substance as follows:
Mamie Jeffreys and friend, George
Cushing both of Crawford, had been on
a trip by team to Wesley, and were
about 10 miles on their way home early
in the evening of Oct. "a They approach
ed a narrow place in the road and saw
an automobile coming, with bright lights
visible
They drove to one side of the road and
stopped their horse. The auto drove up
within about four rods. stopped and the
lights went out. Jeffreys and Gushing
shouted to the strangers, fearing some
trouble. but almost Immediately shot
was heard and their horse fell dead, shot
through the head. The auto quickly dis
appeared.
The horse being valued at about $500.
Mr.. Jeffreys was naturally anxious to
learn the name Of the night hunter and
reckless slayer of horses for game and
placed the matter in the hands of the
authorities. It was reported on the fol-
lowing Oct. q that the guilty man had
been located and had stated - that he
would recompense Mr. Jcffreys for the
loss of his horse.
# was also said that the man had ad-
mitted that he was out after moose,
and was also lacking" or hunting with
a light with which 20 allure the game
within killing distance. The recent re-
port of the warden is another chapter in
the affair. What may ensue remains to
be found out.
