CANADIAN WHEAT ADJ
MITTED

HN NTH the present time Ca
WH NADIA has refused to ad-
NIT American wheat in
to that country free of duty.
Consequently under our own
tariff law we have refused to
admit Canadian wheat free to
this country, the past duty inn
posed by each country being
10 cents per bushel. However
the removal of the duty by the
Canadian parliament automa-
tically removes the duty inn
posed by the American gov
ernment as our tariff law has
q reciprocal provision to that
effect. The change was doubt
less made so as to facilitate
business during war time. AS
to the price the action will
mean nothing for the reason
wheat is as high in Canada as
in the United States as win be
shown by the Winnipeg quo
tations. In fact the Winnipeg
quotations for July wheat are
now higher than the Chicago
quotations for July. Even in
peace times there could never
be any greater difference be-
tween the price of Canadian
wheat and our own wheat for
the reason the price in each in
stance is governed chiefly by
the export demand and all the
wheat of this continent goes to
the same export market-Liv-
erpool.

a SHOT FROM THE DARK

M HE first shot fired by 2
vi German war craft at al
American war vessel was
sent in the dark after the Ger
man government had an
fnounced it was not going to
wage war except against Am
erlcan merchant ships carry

The submarine attack on the
destroyer Smith illustrates
The German line of action. The
imperial government is crafty
but ruthless and untrust-
worthy. After the sinking of
the Lusitania a direct promise
was made the United States
that further work of that sort
would not be done. On Feb
T-aary l that promise was de-
iiberately broken and unre-

ssumed.

George said, Prussia is not a
democracy; Prussia is not a
state; Prussia is an army" he
explained the war and all its
brutalities.
1t was the army and the ar
rogance actuating it which or
dered hostilities in the first
place. Because there was no
democracy in Prussia, the army
had its way. The democra-
cies of Great Britain and
France. like the democracy of
the United States, were reluc-
tant to take arms but were fore
ed to it. Russian democracy
found its own deliverance on
the fighting-line.
In the fact that Prussia is
not a democracy or a state but
an army we may see a reason
for many things usually re-
garded as inexplicable. 1t is
Prussia the army which violates
treaties. It is Prussia the army
which disregards information
al law. It is Prussia the army,
represented by the genera
staff and the admiralty, which
sets at naught the engagements

Van Vert county. Ohio, dry since
1908. has stronger prohibition sent
iment than when the first vote was
taken. Absence of saloons has
brought proper results. :.
The county is the center Of a wet

second vote, which was taken in 1914

The story of dry Van Vert county
has been one of general prosperity
and advancement along all lines. Fo&f
instance, the bank deposits total ~
million dollars more than in the Wet
time. The total deposits show an
average of $l25 for every man, wo-ys
man and child in the county The
tax duplicate has increased a milIionsi
dollars also. -
There has been q great falling on
in arrests for all causes. particularly
drunkenness In 1907. last wet year.
there were 800 arrests in the city OF
Van Vert. ninety-three for drunken.
