Queen V1CtOr1a'S Splendid EX-

IS well worth bringing to mind now that American
women are beginning to take up the great problems
Of craftsmanship.
It is not fair to say that women have not the
capacity to understand and deal with governmental
state questions. t's'&i
Two women within our lifetime have been
influential in Great Britain in public life, each of
them good wife and good mother, the noble
Queen Victoria and Catherine Booth, the mother
Of the Salvation Army, whose daughter, Commander
Eyangeline Booth, is the efficient head of the
Salvation Army of the United States.
Indeed the keen supervision of housewives
eve may be expected to improve upon the larger
housekeeping of City Hall and the Capitol at
Harrisburg especially when they go to work on
the Public School questions.
What would this Store amount to without its
women workers?

HAS HE COUNTED THE COST?

Before Senator Capper pushes any further his
bill to eliminate speculation on boards Of trade
and in cotton exchanges, he should take to heart
one Scriptural teaching: First sit down and count
the COST That is such sound advice that Congress
is asked to heed it also.
The Senator has issued an interesting statement
in support of his measure This bill, he says,Wlll
eliminate all speculation; stop all gambling IN
wheat and cotton-emnate the wheat pit, and
put thousands of wire houses out of business
"Gambling" according to the Senator's view Is
any future trading except by farmers and dealers.
They are to be allowed to buy and sell futures.
All others to be put out of business. But what
would the cost be to the farmers? Has the Sena-
tor figured that out?
Let him go over the prices of wheat since the
Board of Trade was established at Chicago, and
then compare the prices for similar term OF
wears when there was no future trading. He will
then be dealing with facts and figures, not un-
supported assertions. The facts will prove that
when there was no future trading the fluctuations
of wheat prices were twice great as they have
been since. Do the farmers want this restored?
The bill would destroy the opportunity of hedg-
ing, which is the Of insurance by mlllers
and elevator men. 1t would permit them to buy
and sell hedges; but those interests do not buy in
surance between themselves. Take away the right
of speculation and this insurance and no elevator
man could buy wheat as fast as offered to him.
Whether the farmer knows~t not, the fact
remains that his wheat is marketed on hedges.
He can always take his wheat to elevator and
get the market price. The elevator man hedges
in the future market and insures himself against
loss, and then gets money from the banks to pay
for all the wheat offered.
The experience of the President of the National
City Bank of Chicago should count somewhat,
since the bankers are the who furnish money
for the elevator and flour milling operators to
purchase the wheat as it is offered by the farm
ers He once said that the only unpleasant ex-
perience he ever had in connection with the bust
ness was in Minneapolis where elevator con-
Germ failed to hedge on it's wheat. There was a
sudden drop, the elevator failed and the bank he
was then connected with suffered loss. He fur
Their said that the present method employed by
those who carry grain, of insuring by selling for
future delivery, is highly satisfactory to the
banks which loan them the money.
Buying for future delivery is not function of
the dealers and millers, whom the bill would per-
nit to do business. 1t is function of those whom
the bill would prohibit, from doing business. Des
troy the present system and at once the farmers
lose their market. Has the Senator counted on
this cost ?-Wal Street Journal.

A CHRISTMAS SERMON.

n EWARE of utterng pessimistic and cynical
TX remarks about Christmas joys. If only
- from motives of vanity, abstain from grum-
bling during the festive season; for nothing SO
surely fixes a persons age as disagreeable re-
marks about the utter futility and absurdty OF
keeping Christmas. However we'll preserved, how
ever free from gray hair, wrinkles and other dis
tressng marks of devouring Time, be quite sure
that your Christmas attitude will not give you
away. "Heigho for the holly! This life is most
jolly" is the correct attitude. 1t is the attitude
of the child, and at Christmas time the immor-
tai child which turks in every human being wakes
to life we do not brighten it and allow it to creep
back to it's hiding place for want of encourage
ment
