CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chicago, Feb. 3.--Although wheat
prices dropped 6 cents on the an
nouncement of the break between the
United States and Germany, and the
excitement in the pit did not equal
that which followed Germany's notice
of unrestricted naval warfare.
There was no sign of a rally until
May delivery had touched $1.55. A re-
bound of cents took place, but
fresh declines Immediately ensued.
Later May touched $1.54 IL. This
was followed by an excited recovery
of Is ID cents to $1.67 So, influenced

Theater Crowding.

Assuredly If there is overcrowdine at
any place Of public entertainment,
whether movie house or theater, it should
be stopped by the police, as Commits
sioner Gardiner says. Supposedly the
rules against dangerous filing of the
aisles and spaces behind the seats have
been enforced. If there has been any
relaxation in the vigilance it is a mat
ter calling for a livening up Of the
agencies Of supervision. Somewhat re-
assuring is the report Of the fire mar
shal that on a recent round Of inspec-
tion he found no violations Of the rules
requiring that the aisles and back spaces
be kept clear. Whether it is desirable
to compel the managers to keep the back
spaces entirely free Of standing patrons
is question. The sole reason for the
rule against crowding is to insure means
Of quick, safe exit in case Of fire. If
the exits are Immediately within range
of the standing spectators at the rear
Of the house and can be instantly OPEN
ed and used the presence of these per-
sons behind the seats may not be deemed
q source Of danger. But If there is any
serious question on the subject the first
requirement Of safety is to prohibit the
admission Of any people beyond the seat
ing capacity.

Sedition and Bogus Socialism.

Significant in its bearing upon the
existence of disloyalty sentiment in this
country is the statement recorded in the
news columns that the sudden and mark
ed accession of socialistic political
strength is due to the support being
rendered socialist candidates for office
by German sympathizers and well-wish-
ers of the kaiser who are thus express
ing their protest against the continuance
of the United States in the war. The
platform of these made-in-Germany So
cialists distinctly advocates immediate
peace and discontinuance of war prepa-
rations. 1t is being daily repudiated
by socialist leaders of approved genuine
ness OF devotion to the principles of
socialism as political issue. They pass
up political discussion of the war while
the United States is in the war.
1t is asserted with positiveness that
much of the increased ostensibly social
istic support can be traced in some Sec
s>s NASSeAy " QudItcIS O1 Oerman-
descended population. The suggestion
is made that the Department of Justice,
charged with the duty of repressing dis
loyal expressions, may well inquire
whether there is a pro-German direct
ing force back Of the alleged drifting
of the pro-Germans to the socialist
ticket. IF it should be developed that
such were the case the result would be
Illuminating, but without practical ef-
feet. The seriousness Of the menace of
this situation lies in the fact that a
voter cannot be punished for supporting
the socialist party as political organi-
zation, even though his motive be to ex.
press his disapproval of the govern
ment's course. It is distinct develop-
ment in political possibilities in this
country, although Russia has paid the
penalty Of German intriguing through
the radical socialists in the undermining
of her national effectiveness. Today's
cable dispatches refer to similar propa-
ganda in Italy, with the people there,
however, awake to the situation and now
charging some Of. the country's present
distress to it.

while a. young man Of promise te
ponder at this time.
After bolting in 1912 the Taft nomi
nation-which he contended had been
unfairly obtained over him-Mr Roose
welt accepted an Independent nomina
tion for the presidency, and began q
campaign for election. Naturally, his
candidacy added greatly to the excite.
ment and uncertainty of the campaign.
At the outset he may have thought it
possible for him to win He addressed
large audiences, and created much en-
thusiasm. But as the campaign pro-
gressed, and especially as it ncared the
end, it was clear that if he ran the race
out he would defeat the old party which
had made him, and bring in the demo
cratic party. He ran the race out, with
that result
Last year Mr. Roosevelt had repentod
of q part at least--the principal part
of his 1912 performance The demo
cratic party, which he had brought in,
had pursued course in Office very re-
pugnant to him. and he wanted it turned
out. He wanted to lead the movement
for that purpose, and sought the re-
publican nomination for President. But
his record confronted him, and leader
ship was denied him. He then fell in
behind Mr.. Hughes, and spoke for him.
If next Tuesdays mayoralty result
shall show that Mr.. Bennett was instru-
mental in the election of the Tammany
candidate, he will be held responsible in
part for Tammany's course in office
Which is certain 10 be no more to his
taste than had the course of the Wilson
administration been to the taste of Mr..
Roosevelt last year.

ship. Gossip had it that he would be q
unifer as between the two democratic
| factions in the state; that Mr.. Cleveland
would back him, and David B. Hill also.
Col. Lamont, however, did not take to
the suggestion. Skilled politician though
he was, he preferred to stay out Of poll
! tics for the time. Four years later he
returned to Washington as Secretary of
War, and at the close of his service in
that Office retired permanently from
politics, going into the railroad business
and amassing fortune.
1t is easy to believe that if Mr. Tumul-
ty enters the Jersey arena at any time
for any Office he will have the backing
of Mr.. Wilson Their relations are very
cordial, and doubtless will continue so.
Service in Office in Washington is
profitable to an alert man with politi-
cal ambition. lie is thrown with other
officials of high class, and has oppor-
tunity to study national questions at
close range He is thus enabled to quail
ify for other duties than those he may
have in hand. He gets line both on
things executive and things legislative,
and can turn his hand in many direc-
tions. Sometimes he comes as an execu-
tive and later gets legislative commits
sion. and vice versa
This is an educational feature of
Washington life not always remembered
when educational advantages here are
under discussion. The town, indeed, is
a school of politics, unrivaled in certain
particulars, and offering many induce
ments and advantages to those with an
eye to public life.

Russia.

Russia is not out of the war. This is
the reassuring word given by Premier
Kerensky in an interview at Petrograd
printed in The Star today. The vision
of separate peace between Russia and
Germany raised by the incomplete print
ing of Kerensky's statement is dispelled
by the full text. Russia is still in the
war, somewhat worn by the strain of
fighting the foreign foe and comprising
q revolution unparalleled in history, but
nevertheless factor for Germany's dis
eomfiture and ultimate defeat.
Russia has undoubtedly been serious
disappointment to the entente in this
war. Yet the causes of her failure at
critical times to deliver the blows which
her size and resources justified her allies
In expecting have been due not to any
lack Of spirit on the part Of her people,
but to treachery within, to incompetence
at the head Of the state and corruption
among officials seduced by German in
duences. The revolution itself resulted
from popular reaction against these
manifestations of faithlessness.
Had Russia pressed on continuously
from the beginning with the full force
of which she was physically capable,
with her armies fully supplied and her
leaders true to the cause, Germany would
prebably have been beaten in the first
year Of the conflict. It is true, as
Kerensky says, that Russia's initial ac-
tivity in the field saved France and Eng
land Had Germany not been menaced
by the formidable Russian sweep into
East Prussia and SILICA she could have
concentrated her forces in the west to
crush the allied opposition there. Yet
& must be remembered that it was Rus
sia's own initiative in mobilizing against
the German and Austrian threat, as q
measure Of policy to save Serbia from
Teutonic aggression, that brought first
France and then England into the war.
These are matters for the historians
% consider. The question of immediate
urgency is whether Russia Will remain a
factor in the war, upon which Germany
must count as weighing against her sue
cess in the field. So long as there is NO
separate peace, and while Russia main
tains armies in the field, there can be no
relaxation Of German and Austrian vigi-
lance on the eastern front. That BUS
sia, reinvigorated by months Of COM
parative release from the actual drain
Of fighting, wnl eventually strike hard
and inhict a damaging blow upon the
enemy is to be expected. The Russian
people cannot expect from Germany any
thing but relentless aggression. A sep
arate peace, perhaps bought by corrupt
means, would not avail tho Russians. It
would be deadly bargain, and the most
hopeful Egn Of the time is that appar-
emily tie rapidly awakening people Of
the new republic appreciate the fact and
arc determined not to traffic with a foe
whose treachery is now the reproach Of
the entire anti -Teutonic world,
