Wheat Prices Awhile.

gone ON record against the automat
ic removal Of wheat prices from gov

by julius II. Barnes. head OF tho

Kansas farmers contend thai the only
reason they have not marketed their
wheat was because cars were not
available. The fear Is expressed
that in ease federal control is re-
moved, the wheat market which Is
now considerably above the federal
guaranteed price, Nould be manipu-
lated in such a way as to cause a
slump in the prices.
'Practically every farm organiZa

resolutions opposing the removal or
federal control of wheat prizes until
the 1919 crop Is fully marketed" -"

Washington-Mexico under the pre-

come bone dry and will be the next
nation to Danish liquor by constitu-
tianal amendment, according to re-
port delivered by Mexican delegates
to the fifteenth International Congress
Against Alcoholism at its opening ses.
sion here.
Another feature of the opening ses-
sion was a declaration by Secretary of
the Navy Daniels that the League of
Nations will operate to bring world
prohibition and that in consequence
the covenant was "the rainbow of hope
for all nations"
Drink Called eane Of Mexico.
The Mexican delegates asserted that
President Obregon. acting President
de la Huerta, and all high officials of
the present Mexican regime. are COM
mttted to establishment of prohibition
throughout Mexico as soon as possible.
Many delegates testified the degraded
condition of the Mexican peon. His
.turbulance, banditry and aversion to
work are all traceable to the fact that
he is a heavy drinker.
Take this poison away from the
peon," declared one delegate, ''this
poison that was brought to the Mex
lean Indian first by the white man, and
he will be become in an astonishingly
short time an outstanding, decent citi.
zen and an efficient worker"
League Held Only Promise.
Secretary Daniels declared the
league covenant is "the only promise
in the International heavens at pre-.
sent" He declared the league recog-
nized that the well-being and develop.
ment of little peoples was trust of
civilization. The covenant, he assert.
ed, provides primarily that such evil
things as slavery, liquor and traffic in
arms should not be imposed by strong
nations upon weaker ones.

Problem

News Of the frightful bomb explo-
sion in New York City brought us all
forcibly to the realization Of the ex-
tremes to which the desperation Of the
forces of unrest and dissatisfaction in
this country have come. Scarcely q
day has gone by in the last few
months but. that we have calmly read
of bank robbery-one day in the
outskirts of some large city; the next
in some small, outlying town. Did you
comprehend on those occasions the
likelihood of the elimination Of all
these smaller depredations in the one,
vast, frightful catastrophe which
rocked the Nation?
This is plea for an awakened con-
science; for quickening of the activ-
ity Of every man and woman who
cherishes in his heart love Of Peace !;
Of Sobriety and Righteousness. How
many of you, readers, when you had
recovered from the first shock of that
awful New York massacre, really
determined what you would do to
minimize the possibility of a recurrence
Of such a thing-or something in
finitely worse? :
Does the fact that The Salvation
Army stands practically alone in the
mighty struggle with the men and
women who perpetrate these terrible
crimes impress you as being note
worthy fact? 1t has frequently been
styled "The Poor Mans Church." Last
year this noble Army reached the
hearts of 100000 men and women of
the streets-met them in the streets
and preached to them the Gospel of
Love; Of Hope and Salvation. 100000

vice and crime may be tempered by a
message of Hope and the Love Of
God.
