crops for -shich the Federal Government
guaranteed s2.2e bushel. This rate, if
the Government keeps faith with the
farmers, will have to be maintained not
only for the wheat in storage, but for all
that is harvested between now and June.
It Is predicted that the wheat production
VI this country will total 1000, 900 BUSH
els. Europe will soon be ablL to obtain
wheat from other sources at S1.25 bushel.
At the present moment It appears that
the Government will have to pay American
farmers the war rate agreed upon and
resell the grain at an average loss Of a
dollar bushel.
In considering this possibility 1t Is nee
essary TO remember that the wheat har-
vest in America under war conditions has
cost the farmers far mere than $l.20
bushel to pI oduCe. Labor was phenome-
nally expensive. Producers Of grain met
the situation in the same spirit as ship
builders and preferred to disregard expense
In a time when production was the only
important consideration. The farmers ac-
cepted the promises of the Government
and operated under estimates based upon
the S2.@6 rate. And the Government can
not afford to break its agreement with
them any more readily than it could afford
to cancel formal war contracts without
proper restitution.

LIGHT

We must have the courage to act upon
our understanding. II comes into
my mind that It would take more courage
TO resist the great moral tide now running
in the world than to yield to Il. to obey It.
There is n great tide running in the
hearts OF men. The hearts Of men never
beat so sIngularly in unison before. Men
have mover before been so conscious of
their brotherhood!
DREsIDENT WILSON'S facility in say.
- ing great things simply, his ability to
strike through a welter OF extraneous pas.
sions and illusions at the central truth
about the war and It's consequences. was
never better illustrated than in these pas
sages from his address in answer to King
Georges toast.
In time when the world is appalled,
at the consequences Of injustice, this cry
for the right is Irresistible. It will touch
the hearts Of men even against their will.
Mr.. Wilson Is merely holding the simple
and unchanging truth aloft for the eyes
OF the world. 1t is having the effect of
light in a dark place.

tions, each equally? Here is one OF the two
greatest questions to como before the con-
rention, questions Complementary one to the
other. The majority of the people OF the
world who have learned self-government
nationally and locally would seem to have
right to govern internationally. but popula-
tions are congested in certain areas and are
too cannish to be trusted with the liberties
of less congested nations. SO these smaller
nations must be given the right to protect
themselves in the upper house by an equal
vote there. Will the representatives Of tho
congested nations agree to this? That is
their province to decide. If thoy get this far
the rest Is comparatively easy. But not
word Of constitution will be written UP to
this point or until these great structural
principles are agreed upon Then, and then
only, can they be formulated on paper---a
Very small part OF the process. tl
To talk about paper plans" Is absurd
therefore. The present Peace Conference is,
/ take II, a settlement of war. which settle-
ment is made by a vigilance committee OF
nations Or provisional international govern
ment' which assumes and Incorporates in it's
war settlement the one prime necessityS--cail
Tor constitutional convention for creation
OF an International government for purely
international purposes. To this only nations
which have learned self-government can send
delegates and that convention will decide tho
qualihcation OF Its members This Is not to
say that all nations may not in due time ft
themselves for membership in the interna-
tional body. - 80

THIS SCANDAL HAS CONE TOO FAR

IF THE present Governor does not take
cognizance of the conduct of Chairman
Ainey, of the Public Service Commission,
and Judge McNeille, Of the Municipal
Court In connection with the sliip-stop
investigation. then the next Governor
should give 1t his attention as soon as
possible after he takes the oath OF office.
Mr. Ainey is at the head of the State
commission created to look after the in
tercsts Of the people SO far as they are
affected by the conduct OF the transporta-
tion lines. He Is now sitting on a com.
Inittee appointed by the P. r. T. TO clear
its skirts OF the charges which have grown
out Of the institution of the skip-stop sys.
tenn. A proper conception Of his duties to
the public should have forced him to keep
as far away as possible from any connec.
ton with any investigation instituted by
the p. n. II.
Judge McNeile is Liable at any time to
be called upon to preside in court over the
trial OF damage suits against the p. r. T.
growing out of the skip-stop accidents. He
IS lending himself TO the purposes Of the
railroad company.
The presence Of the presidents Of Select
and Common Councils on the committee is
only less Objectionable. Councils are to
be called upon to consider ordinances regu-
lating the car stops Those ordnanc -
must be considered on their merits as they
affect the travelling public and not as they
AFFECT the interests of the r. Il. r. These
officers Of Councils should resign from the
committee forthwith before they get en-
tangled any deeper in the morass i'm which
they are now fioundering

Sixty-ninth street without spending two

will create a community Of interest be-
tween the district north Of Market street

The building of the Darby line down
