EFFECT OF FOOD RIOTS
On EASTERN MARKETS

The food riots in the different
cities has had its telling elect OIL
several different commodities. Chi
cago the Wholesale price was reduc-
ed from $500 per buahol 10 $500
on Irish potatoes; also reduced the
price on onions. Above Is not only
true in Chicago, but in all other
large cities. The food riot has de-
moralized the poultry market in
New York City, which market is the
ruling market of our country or
poultry az we'll as other commodi-
lies. Whatever Is true Of the mar
ket conditions In New York City f.
true In all other cities. as New FORK
gets all surplus from all the larg'
cities. When you take into consld
Grafton the great mass OF people
that exist In the metropolis city you
can very easily conceive why she is
the index on markets. Her popula-
ton Is almost five millions. Week
before last for four days there was
not a chicken sold from the poultry
cars. Strengthening houses were
practically closed. The market was
reduced from 23c to 24c, on fowls
to l9hc to zoe. This was a four
cent break. Such breaks has lost
shippers thousands Of dollars. On
one car they suffered heavy loss.
What about the shipper who had
from . 20 10 cars on such a
break? One car on such a break as
above mentioned meant about sI,-
900 loss. Tue shipper who had 10
cars suffered a loss Of $4,000. The
writer haa talked TO great many
poultry shippers and they say that
the market conditions were nsger
worse. They say that they look Tor

EXTREMELY UNUSUAL,

Following a chain OF sartling
events, both foreign and domestic
an editorial appeared in the Courier
Journal Tuesday headed, "Hurrah
For Teddy" History does not rec
ord kind words for the Colonel as
ever coming from this source before
which fact makes the article extreme
ly unusual. The editorial follows
in full:
Theodore Roosevelt is, whatever
else he is or isn't, masculine and
American. His reply TO proposal
to iunket over the country with the
Snowman. William Jennings Bryan,
20 participate in joint debate with
that individual upon preparedness
is in part as follows:
II regard it as waste OF time 10
debate nondebatable subjects. To
debate with Mr.. Bryan his views
against national preparedness, would
in my judgment. be precisely on a
par with debating the undesirability
of homogeneous marriage, or the
morality Of abolishing patriotism. or
the advantage Of tire re:ntroduction
of slavery, or the right of judges 10
accept bribes from suitors, or the
duty Of submission to the divine
right OF kings, or the propriety of &C
tion such as that of Benedict Ar
mold.
"Hurah. and again hurrah for
Teddy.
There is just one criticism 10
make of such a reply. 1t is an act
Of unfairness to compare Benedict
Arnold with the nonmasculine advo-
Gates of peace at any price. There
was no sort OF doubt that Benedict
Arnold was a normal male. He
lost his temper, his sense OF proper
tion, his honor, and one thing and
another, but he did not at any time
give the impression that when Ma
ma Arnold graduated him from the
neuter garment Of babyhood into
breeches she didn't know what she
was about. As TO the Bryan-La Fol-
lette-Stone- Works-Vardaman crowd
one cannot be so sure. Their clas-
si1cation seems TO nave been arrived
at upon snap judgment"

THE HUMAN WAY.

When a man becomes so Indecent,
so dangerous that he is no longer
ct to live We kill him. 4 dog GER
trainly deserves no better fate. Man
was first beheaded. Death was
found TO be easier by hanging, so that
method was adopted. Electrocution
was proven still more humane and
hanging was practically abolished.
This revolution in the means of TAX
ing human life progressed as civil
ization advanced and the most recent
method is therefore the most just,
and it is TO the credit OF man. There
are people today. however. who will
poison dog. Have they advanced
with civilization?
Dogs have become so homestead
ed. SO closely allied with man that
next TO human their companionship
is to be desired. They are so sim
pie in their friendiiness that II seems
q pity TO kill one at all. but II II
must be done do II the humane way,
Don't invite the wagging tail TO ex-
press thanks for biscuit that con-
tains glass or poison only to have his
internal organs lacerated. or eaten
by chemicals, while the faithful
friend Of man suffers untold agony.

she above extreme market-2fc--

New YORK. but we have 70 assume
to great a risk. We know not when
New York may have another food
riot These heavy breaks are caus-
ing shippers to lose confidence IN the
markets, the extreme high prices
paid Tor poultry on this oHd Of the
ne. The market IN New York was
never known to be higher. These
.rl Ii;ious being true in the face Of
food riots has made 1t a very dan
gerous proposition for shippers Of
all food supplies. More especially

ton. Ii is very expensive COM

are not only out your feed in carry

ditional expense &c paying a man

Often II takes two or three weeks
for markets TO recover from big

have a decided reaction Of market

ing will Of the majority and that
suffices.
One Of the very principles upon
which our government is founded is
the ruling power of the majority
The people understand and submit.
Why should their representatives not
do likewise? The twelve beings who
thwarted the will of majority were
placed in Office by a majority and
their opponents made no attempt to
hlibuster them out. That same ma
jority that elected them would have
voted for arming American merchant
ships and those Congressman know
it,
Regardless OF the fate Of the Arm
ed Neutrality Bill an extra session of
Congress should convene as soon as
possible and should continue through
the present international crisis. The
President should not be expected to
assume entire responsibility until the
troubled waters are dispelled for that
is a part of the duties of Congress.
Another duty of that new Congress
is to end forever the possibility Of
repetition OF the flibuster. We
should take no chances upon anoth-
or enemy becoming the possessor of
Joy through this method and it now
appears that legislators Of both par
ties will see to it that this antique
privilege is discarded.
We have offered our cheeks 10
Germany until they will stand no
more Shaping. An extra session
must be called and organized before
authority may come from Congress.
In the meantime let US seek from
other sources the privilege Of pro-
tecting ourselves with our powder.

AUSTRIA REPLYS

SLIGHT HOPE OF AVOIDING RUP-
TURE WITH SECOND CEN
TRIAL POWER.
TALKS OF WAR ZONE
Neutrals Who Enter Dangerous
Ground Must DO So At Their
Own Risk.

London, March 6.-The American
Ambassador at Vienna has been
handed the reply of the Austrian
government TO the American note
inauiring as to the position of the
Austrian government in regard to
unrestricted submarine warfare, ac-
cording to Vienna dispatch to Reu-
ter's by way of Amsterdam.
The reply declares that neutrals
are responsible for losses they suf-
fer by entering territory where war
like operations are taking place.
The American note, which was dis
patched to Vienna on February IS,
asked specifically whether the Aus
trian assurances given following the
sinking of the Ancona and the Persia
has been nullified. The reply says
that whatever attitude the Wash
ington cabinet may take as to indi-
vidual questions raised here" the
Austro-H Hungarian government Is
essentially in accord with the Amer
ican government in regard TO the pro-
lection Of neutrals against endanger-
ing their lives" The memorandum
then maintains that neutral subjects
have to bear themselves all losses
they suffer by entering territory
where warlike operations are taking
place"
British Blockade.
After a lengthy discussion OF the
British blockade, which it declare
is illegal, the memorandum contin-
ues: THE principle that neutrals
should enjoy in war times the ad-
vantages--of freedom of the seas OIL
ly to neutral vessels and not to neu-
trail persons aboard enemy vessels. E"
The reply further contends that
belligerents are entitled to decide for
themselves what measures should
be taken against an enemy in sea
traffic, and concludes:
"In such cases neutrals have no
other legitimate interests and there
fore. no other legal claim than that
belligerent shall inform them In
time OF prohibition directed to an
enemy so that they can avoid entrust-
ing their lives and their goods to
enemy vessels"
