Grand Rapids.-Local potato deal
ers report that the potato market is
very poor. Round whites have gone
down perceptibly, selling the past
week here at about 20 cents "a hun
dred, and the local dealers expect that
they will not be able to pay more than
so cents. The Chicago market re-
ceiyed heavy shipments the past week
or two, and that has had a tendency
to put the price down. Triumph po-
tatoes are not moving at all, and one
dealer said that he could not get 5
cents hundred on the regular Tri-
umph market for that kind Of po-
tatoes.

Haltford's Zone Fare Protest.
(Waterbury Republican,

Hartford business men are getting excited over the prospect of the Con- nectlcut company putting the new fare zone system into effect before the public arc given the exact infor- mauon as to how big an increase is 10 be levied on the public patronizing various routes about that city The Chamber of Commerce there is being urged to get into action to secure this information before it is too late to insist upon the rectifying of any gross injustices that may be immediately evil dent"
 Business men in the Capital city have at last walked up to something but they have not discovered the whole truth yet. Under the lawsof the laws of the state of Connecticut it is possible for the Connecticut com pany or any other public utilities com pany to put rates into effect first and let the people do-What they may about the matter afterwards. In MaSsachu- setts and in New York fare increases or increases in rates for gas or cleo triCity cannot be made in this way Tn our neighboring states application must be made first of all to the public utilities commissions which will hold hearings probing into the justice of the claims brought forward to justify proposed increases and deny or grant the request for the right of increase according as they are convinced.
 When the Connecticut company in creased fares to six cents, we pointed out the weakness of this system and urged legislation that would correct it but stirred little interest in the state, Hartford has at last aroused itself to real interest but it is too late as far as this particular difficulty of zone fare increases is concerned The Connec- ticut company evidently proposes to first put it's new system into effect be- fore protest can he made.

so WORLDLY WISE WE'RE WE

So worldly wise were we that we could
 play The game of Love with cynic touch
 and light, Drink deep of lips beneath the star
 ry night, Walk arm -entwined adown the sing
 ing day. So versed were we in all the wiles
 and arts The tricks of Love, not one but that
 we knew. We did not fear to think, or say, or The very prompting of our shallow
 hearts. And then one day I kissed your lips
 goodby, And watched you going down your
 own far way. We said '"The game has ended in a.
 tie.' And we were very cynical and sav I did not know your hurt. You never
 guessed The grief that I too harbored in my
 breast. Edmund Leamy in New York Eve ming Sun.

The entire landed estate of Arthur w. Williams in the western section is to be developed for the accommO- dation of small buyers The work of improvement will be under MT. Will Hams personal direction and super vision, and it is his intention to make this addition to his native city, one that every citizen will be proud of.
 The estate has been a landmark for the present generation as it contained until the year 1913, the original Will Hams homestead, 50 years old, with it's huge center chimney and general quaint aspect of sOlidity so charac- teristic of the buildings of long ago. This sale, however, is not the first partition of the estate, as Henry Will Hams who died in 1855, and father of

BOOSTING THE TROLLEY FARES

Glancing over the proposed sched- ule of rates that will soon go into effect on the state trolley systems, We quickly come to the conclusion that the financial affairs of the company must, indeed, be in a horrible condi- promised will be put through seem to warrant the assumption that the loss of money has been very great. When fares are increased about one hun dred per cent. to meet rising costs, we are sure that the running of the cars for the past year or so has been nothing more or less than pure phil anthropy. We doubt not that the statisticians of the road have made
 sufficient allowance to pull it from
 debt, however.
 The trolley cars are a necessity and
 there can be little grumb bling at
 granting the companies enough in fares to guarantee a return on their
 nvestm ent, together with sufficient revenue to cover their Operatin g
 expenses and upkeep. It is not the wish of the public to see them cease business; neither is it our wish to become the victims of profiteering It will take time to judge for ou-- selves whether the advances are justi- fled or not. There will be a slacken- ing in trade from the old conditions, not so much casual use of the trolley cars, and there may not be enough taken in under the new rates to cover expenses. Let us wait and see, keep ing an eye, if we can on the earnings of the company.
 For each community situated on the trolley lines there is grain of comfort in the increases which comes

Rescued From the kcCf.

The sailing ship Alejandrina has ar rived at New York-and thereby hangs a tale. For the vessel went ashore in the Straits of Magellan some twenty years ago, striking a reef and ,foundering The crew abandoned her and the owners and underwriters came to the conclusion that she was too re- mote to justify salvage. So year after year she has lain there, untll two years ago, when. because of the short age in ships, she was hauled oft the reef and rebuilt by the Argentine gov ernment
 Originally she was the British ship Andrina. Now two addltlonal sylla- bles appear in her name. She IS an old ship and yet a new one, TOT or course a good deal of new tlmoer mas been used to make her ready TOT second lease of life. She IS now de- scribed as being "as smart looking a four-ma aster as has come 1nto 'nlS port (New York) for some time.
 The pessimist and unlmaglnat1Ve would have seen nothing Tn the old vessel. as she lay on the shores Of the far southern straits, to 1nVlte Fecla- nation But there was good StuH m the craft. and after while along carna somebody who recognized 1t. ln- stead accordingly, of being allowed to Ha on the Patagonian reef until the winds and waves had wrecked her all toeether the Alejandr1na IS now n1oughins the seven seas and perform = ing a useful service in the world.

The Shantung Amendment.
(New York 'Times.)

The expected has happened to the amendment which would have de- manded the return of the German holdings in Shantung to China-an amendment in which the other pow CTS signing the treaty could not have acquiesced, which could have been enforced only by q war which it's sup porters were not willing tn demand. Few Americans approve of the ar rangement made with regard to Kiau- chau bay in the treaty, but the method proposed in the senate was not one by which the situation could have been improved. The defeat of the amend ment was foreseen and was what the great majority of the country de- manded.
 The vote of 55 to 8 gives an lmpos- ing majority against the ShantunS amendment, and is clear indication that the Johnson amendment and other attempts to make material change in the treaty will meet the same fate. The nation wants the matter disposed of as soon as possible: if will not be disposed to tolerate much more delay, which can serve no good purpose, in getting back to nor maj conditions by ratification of the treaty.

This means money in the pockets of local dealers. They should be glad of the increase.

CAPITAL MAKES \ PROPOSAL.

CAPITAL MAKES X PROPOSAL.
 What will be greeted by organized
 labor as a distinct victory for it's
 cause was brought about yesterday at
 the conference of interests now under
 way in Washington when H A. Wheeler, of Chicago, chairman of the "capital'' group of fifteen repre- sentatives, presented, in the form of the ultimate concession of the em- ploying classes to their Workme en. Briefly, it recognized the right of employees to organize and to bargain as a unit with employers, although it stipulated that the employe might, If he so wished bargain IS an individual with the employer and that he was
 not to be required to become a mem Der of any organizat ton unless he SO chose
 Thus, trade councils formed of men in the shop, or utilization With unions which are a part of the American Federation of Labor, are not to be denied to employees, and their efforts as body will be met blythe employer.
 However, there is a hint of the con-
 tinuanCe of the open shop in the
 agreement that employees are not to-
 be forced to join an organization, and
 presumably, non-union man, or Q
 man not belonging to local shop or
 employees to enter a plant and con-
 tinue at his work. There will be no
 strikes for the "closed shop" we
 assume.
 AS we have often said, we believe
 that the greater number of unions
 are acting with the best faith toward
 the employer. Occasionally one sees
 evidence of the lack of it and pub
 licity spreads it upon the records of
 the press for all to see. There is little mention of the other fellow the union that is not asking for more
 than it deserves-of which there are
 many. This seems to indicate that
 labor, as a rule, is not being imposed
 upon by capital If it were, there
 would be many more strikes than there are now. There is no reason
 why labor and capital, as organiza- tions, may not get along we'll together as they are doing in many places. But there is also no reason why the closed shop should be imperative. If the laborer wishes to bring about high standard of efficiency for memb bers of his union, there is no particular reason why the employers should not prefer to hire the efficient abOr union man in preference to an inefficient one who is not. By this
 means, "closed shop" might be
 brought about for the welfare of all
 concerned. But the principle of the
 open shop should be accepted, at the
 present time particularly, when there
 is need for labor and when "half a
 man." at half wages, is som etimes better than none.
 It seems that the conference is at last getting into working swing Capital has done all that it can, so it states, and it is now up to labor, with the public as arbiters. The 1 clouds of uncertainty about the con- l ference have started to clear up. l There may be a beneficial outcome, l although either side may yet throw ! a wrench into the cogs by adopting 8 1 an arbitrary attitude
