KEYNOTE of the farmers and consum-
ers' greatest grievance in his speech
at Gladstone on Saturday, when he
stated that it was the unwarrs:nted
difference between the producers sell
ing price and the consumers purchas-
ing price. The indiscriminate gamb-
ling in foodstuffs and other necessi-
ties of life has worked a hardship up
on everybody, and the sooner legisla-
ton is put through eliminating this
unjust practice, the sooner the people
Of the United States will. reach a
more economic plane of living and the
farmers will enjoy a more profitable
and independent business.

GENERAL RECRUITING
Newspaper and Window Display Show
Fine Results in All Branches.

Newspapers and window displays are
greatly aiding enlistments in the navy,
the records at the navy recruiting sta
tion, 3O6 Ninth street, showed yesterday.
One hundred and siXty-fve men have en-
tered the service through this station
during the last month, forty-six of these
since May l.
Each OF the recruits is asked TO state
in his application blank the inducement
which led him to the recruiting office.
A majority say it was the newspapers,
posters and window displays.
Others are influenced by their parents,
usually the father; by friends already
in the navy, or by personal desire for a
paign. however, is getting results, the
answers show.
The navy recruiting office was the only
one in the city yesterday which obtained
anything like its normal number of en-
listments. The daily average has been
about four or five. Four were sworn In
yesterday. The army failed to secure a
recruit; only two applicants were sent
to the Washington Barracks for physi-
made to the Marine Corps. al
though four men who have already
passed examinations probably, will be
sworn in Monday

Guard. obtained one recruit. Troop A.

Baseball from the standpoint OF profit

says Cleveland Oakes, Of Fresno, Cal,
one of the largest stockholders in the
Pacific Coast League, who is stopping at

1T Is certain that a good many minor
leagues will not survive the 10 per cent
tax on receipts fixed in the revenue bill
and the American Association, the
strongest minor league in the country,
has been losing s., 900 a day and is fgur-
ing now on suspending or cutting down
the salary list and the force OF players.
It Is absolutely certain It will withdraw
from the game II this tax is imposed.
Personally, 1 do not look upon q
years suspension Of the game as any
thing more than a benefit Baseball will
never lose its popularity as a sport with
the masses, and shutting down during
the period Of the war will mean tremen-
dous increases in gate receipts when

I&%MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM&M%MMMMMMM%%%M%
The attitude of the Jews in the
anti-German countries toward the
New Russia has never for moment
been in doubt. In the twinkling of
an eye hatred of Russia, or sullen
acquiescence in the alliance to
which the devil of military neces-
sity has driven democracy, was
transformed into that trinity of
emotion-"a admiration, hope and
love- by which, according to
Wordsworth, humanity lives.
There is even among her escaped
step-children a nostalgia for Russia
and palpable movement back, re-
tarded only by the absence of ships.
Imponderables, as Bismarck knew,
sometimes count more in politics,
than concrete and measurable fac
tors, and who can estimate the
myriad hostile influences by which
the old Jew-baiting and Jew-hated
Russia was environed?
Some of these negatives may now
be appraised by their positive
aspects. The New Russia has for
example, a good press-the Jews
are people of journalists. In 1851
Mr.. Punch was righteously indig-
nant with the Austrian Jews be-
cause, according to Viennese cor.
respondent of the London Jewish
Chronicle, they would have nothing
to do with the Austrian Loan until
they had received the governments
assurance that they would be left
in possession of their liberties.
Finance Weapon.
That they should thus provide
"halters for the patriots of Hung
ary," on condition of being left free
themselves, seemed monstrous to
Mr.. Punch, who, in fact, proposed
the very next week that in recognl-
ton of the Sultan's services in saw
ing Kossuth from Francis Joseph, a
British three-decker should be pre-
sented by national subscription to
the gallant Abdul Medjid, and
should sail up the Bosphorus, man
ned for the nonce by British tars.
To me the monstrosity lies in the
fact that the financial weapon,
recommended by the Jewish cor
respondent, should have remained
so long unused.

in the eyes of civilization.
The loyalty of these pariahs, their
devotion to the common Fatherland,
has displayed itself in many touch
ing forms during the war, and the
great fund they are now raising
with the same symbolic instinct as
their American brethren-to estab-
fish and endow "Palace of Equal
ity" in Petrograd, shows how deep
ly they have felt their lack of status
and how ardently they welcome
their inclusion in the new fraternity
of creed and races.
Their industrial and commercial
genius, given for the first time free
play in Russia, will save her from
future German penetration and
supply the missing factor necessary
to bring her into line with the
Western Powers to whom she is
allied and whom-by an irony Of
history-she is now destined to liber-
alize.
For not all the Russian supple
ments" of commercial journalism
can gloss over the fact that the
Steam Roller is a rusty ram
shackle, antiquated and hopeless
piece of machinery and that Russia,
with her dearth of roads, railways
and business capacity, is as i'll
equipped for either war or trade as
she is rich in human and material
potentiality. Nor, gifted as Russia
is spiritually, can she fail to profit
by that immense fund of artistic and
intellectual energy of which the
Jewish people is the matrlx.
Since it has been found that even
Great Britain and Ireland can no
longer, in the completely of modern
legislation, be governed, save IN
large outline, from one center, it is
obviously still more impossible for
Russia to go on without decentral-
