CHICAGO. Nov. 2.--Buying on the

Wheat showed some strength at the
outset but there was a lack OF sustain-

large and no great desire was shown
to press the selling side Of the market.
Shorts were quick to reverse their po-

to reflect the rally in wheat.
Provisions. although dull, were

Sure! Let's Amend 1t
From the Milwaukee Sentinel.

The Rev. DIR. Walter Glynn of Summit, N.
j., has made a successful bid for first page
publicity by inaugurating another great con-
stitutional crusade.
The worthy parson, being impressed, as
many thoughtful persons have been, with the
growth of the divorce evil, has arrived at the
conclusion that the way to cure the evil is to
abolish divorce.
And of course his right way to abolish d.
vorce is to amend the constitution OF the
United States so as to prohibit the relief from
marital infelicity.
1t is such an easy and simple matter, this
amending of the constitution. All one has
to do if he senses an evil is to tell his con-
gresham about it, hire hall, organize
league or a society or a club or dancing
party or something, get lot OF stuff IN the
papers about it and then all that remains is
to have congress propose the amendment and
get it ratified by three-quarters OF the states
And what is a constitution for if it is not
to be amended every time some reformer
finds his personal views of morality disturbed
by the wicked behavior of some son of Beal?
The old fashioned notion that the constltu-
ton is the fundamental law of the land, the
framework on which the governmental struc-
ture is erected and as such should contain
nothing to which every citizen can not sub
SCRIBE is reactionary and destructive OF real
progress. Legislation now, whether it be
to prohibit divorce, purify the drinking water
in the town of Centropolis, abolish the tax
on dogs or prevent cats from running at
large in the public highways, should be made
part of the constitution and enforced by
federal officials
DR.. Glynn is correct in his notion that the
clergy should do something to check the
divorce evil. There is much that they can
do. But his idea that the clergy should force
another amendment to the already much
amended constitution to bring about his re-
form will probably have the effect of making
thoughtful and intelligent citizens very tired.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

There are now five minor presidential
parties in the field. They are the socialists,
the prohibitonists, the single takers, the
farmer-laborites, and the ''forty lighters"
There has not been fewer than three and
sometimes as many as six such parties in
any campaign during the last half century.
Singly they have received only bagatelle
of the votes cast in the election. Collective
ly, they have never changed the election Of
the candidates of the two dominant parties,
unless it was in the case of New York in
1884, when votes cast for the electors of
Butler, the greenback candidate, were
counted for the democratic electors, thereby
giving the Cleveland electors 1,049 votes
majority by which the democrats carried
that state and by it the election in the elec-
toral college.
Third parties are neither dangerous to
the success of the democratic and republi-
can parties or to the country at large.
The candidates named by such parties always
go into ecstacies over what they stand for
and how their party appeals to the people.
But when the votes are counted the result
shows that the candidate was an inflated
politically balloon and the party nothing
but froth and foam

A BLAsPHEMous PRAYER.

The prayer of Rev. George c. Richmond
before the national convention of the "Forty-
Fighters" is nothing but blasphemy. The
man who uttered it is a disgrace to the pull
pit and the ministry.
The prayer was a proclamation; the service
a sacrilege. In both the choice of words and
subject matter of his scandalous address to
Omnipotence the minister showed every evil
dence of religious degeneracy. He gave
thanks for soviet Russia, where neither relig-
ion nor morals are tolerated; where adultery
is the law where woman's chastity is de,
stroyed by the state; where children are
raised in the fear and admonition of the
tyrants who ruG' the country instead of in
the "fear and Admonition of the Lord" Ko-
rah and his followers, who were the Forty
Fighters" in protest against Moses and Aaron
were swallowed up in the opening of the
earth for sacrilege less vile than that OF
Rev. Mr.. Richmond at Chicago.
If there was nothing except the applaudeC
prayer to set Christian people thinking con.
corning the dangers of the doctrines which
were gathered into a mass in that conven
ton it would be sufficient to turn every mar
and woman against the crowd which listened
to the prayer and showed its approval by
applause. 1t is time the pulpit and the affairs
of the land spoke in no uncertain language
against the proclamation of the sacred cere
mony of prayer by men who prostitute it:
purity and inspiration by using it for the
most diabolical purposes of which man car
conceive.

Sports---and Goats
From the Meter Advertiser.

Are we American people sports, or are we
just plain goats?
European countries owe the United States
ten billions of dollars, loaned to them during
the war against Germany.
This money will soon be due, and it is init
mated that the allies either can not or will
not pay-they intimate the former but we
suspect the latter.
Our friends across the water, it seems, do
not want to pay US until after they have
collected the money from Germany. And
when they do get the money from Germany
it is even possible that they will suddenly
discover some more urgent and pressing need
for it.
Makes fellow feel fine, doesn't it Quite
sporty, or goaty, whichever term pleases you.
Europe tells the United States it is short
of sugar.
We too, are short-very short-but we send
it to them, hundreds of millions of pounds.
Of course that shoves up the price of what
little we are able to buy ourselves. But that
doesn't matter to lis sports, or goats. We
just revel in coughing up lively for the bene
fit of our dear friends across the water.
Why should we ask Europe to pay us tn.
paltry ten billions of dollars they owe US
Would that be sporty or goaty?
Why should we tell them they can't have
our sugar, because we haven't enough our
selves for our canning, and our tables?
Would sport or a goat, be so ungenerous?
Why not give them everything they want,
and thank them for taking it? Wouldn't
that be quite sporty, or tremendously goaty?
Why not be genuine sports, or Wholehearted
goats, while we are about it?
For isn't it quite jolly to be a sport or su-
premely comforting to be goat?
You know!

RISING AT DAYBREAK
Fortunate the Man Who Gets Up at
"The Voice of the Bird"
From the Minneapolis Journal

''And he shall rise up at the voice of the
bird" said an ancient Hebrew poet concern
ing the old man who can't sleep after day
break on a June morning. This touch of in
somna the poet includes in his doleful list
of the ailments of the aged. A twitter of a
sparrow outside the window, distant robin
piping up the dawn, and the old gentleman
is stark awake Sleep is fled beyond recall
Poor old man!
1t is not yet A o'clock. Three long hours
before the city awakes. Three hours to
listen or to lie and think. Thrice blest is the
old man, if he is a bird lover or has friend
Ily thoughts with which to commune through
"a sleepless morning.
At the cty's border, where trees and
waters and little wet meadows meet, the
voice of the bird is a dominant sound at
80 of June morning. The whole chorus
choir, from treetop to swamp edge is in full
cry-chorus. solo, obligato, trill, catch and
roundelay-the air is dense and jubilant
with song, medley of all the love songs of
the bird kingdom. A good many persons not
yet decrepit will wake in the midst of a
concert like this, smile 6rowsy blessing
on the birds and sleep again.
If the old man must lose two hours of
good morning sleep he has yet this COM
pensation. Let him wrap quilt about him
and sit at the open window. The whole
world outside belongs to him and the birds.
IN the IghC OF dawn IL is a cream world,
the disembodied spirit of the same world
whose corporate body we touch at high
noon.
A thin, blue, dew-dampened haze, the
remnant of yesterdays dust and smoke,
lightly wells the distant wood. About the
little marshes, willows stand waist-deep in
quiet ponds of fog A cool dust blends
dwelling, shrub and lawn-tree. Just the
highest points of these begin to reflect the
little rim of gray dawn. And from out this
light-tipped world of pleasant gloom rises
the swelling matin of the birds. For more
than half an hour the whole world is given
over to the pleasure of the old man watcher
and the winged singers.
widening glow of pink in the east, and
the landscape softly folds its twilight cur
tains; the silver ground fogs in the little
hollows melt into the clearer atmosphere.
"A swelling chug-chugging up the country
road from an early motor car followed by
farmers noisy truck shifts the night of
dreams to the day of work. The bird cho-
rus dies away or blends with the ruder
noises of the day The old man makes his
morning prayer and dresses to go down and
hoe few rows in the garden before break
fast.
The big boy grumbles himself awake at
the whirr of the alarm clock But the old
man has risen up "at the voice of the bird"
Fortunate old man!

The Cotton Situation
From Alabama Farm Facts.

In the opinion of economists intimately
identified with the largest spinning centers Of
the world, there is need for a crop of some
thing like 100000 bales of cotton this year!
What is the outlook? The basic conditions
under which the crop started were we'll below
normal. Continuously favorable conditions
were imperative if the yield was to be
brought up to anything like normal Condi-
lions have not been good; on the contrary, the
tendency has been for them to grow worse
until the weeks ending June 9th and 10th
Since then developments have not been mark
ed either way. On the whole, with the Wee
vii and the shortage of labor justifying sub
stantiaI deductions from any Improvement
during the balance of the season, it seems
there is not a reasonable prospect of crop
any larger than the average of the last five
years.
The record makes it safe to assume that
the producer will not allow any deflation in
the price of the manufactured product nor
political or financial disturbance to determine
the basis on which the crop will be liqudated;
that, inspite of various troubles which were
to have been expected, the world is steadily
progressing towards normal conditions; that
this points to call for cotton much greater
than the supply indicated by the crop outlook
at this date,

We do not agree with those well-meaning
people who declare that women should go
back to the long, dragging skirts. Rather,
they should be cut bit shorter and wider,
so as to give freedom from the knees down.

should never return. These are days of
emancipation Let women free themselves of
the slavery of horrible, crucifying shoes and
detestable corsets and all manner of flesh

THE TENDER PASSION.

From Capper's Weekly.
We have heard for years that love is blind
and recently saw a marked case of this blind
ness. She was bonnie-blue eyes and brown
hair She was gazing rapturously into his
eyes Her hero wore candy-colored shirt
He was stopped and dropping as to shoulder
was pimply faced and had general lacka-
daisical manner with touch of insoucant
bravado, as the novelist would say, but abso-
lutely not worth cuss. Probably another
girl will soon have something more to
worry her than simply providing herself
with fine waists and French heeled shoes.

Punctured Cotton Profits
From the Moultrie Observer.

The season is at hand when the cotton
farmer will watch his profits falling to the
ground in punctured squares, the work of
the boil weevil Fortunately, however, the
farmer is less helpless than he used to be
It is possible to control the boil weevil, the
United States Department of Agriculture
has found after long experimentation, by
busting the plants with calcium arsenate. An
adequate, supply of the chemical is obtaina-
BILE this year and considerable busting ma
chinery is available, though not sufficient to
meet the needs.
1t should be borne in mind the specialists
say, that in poisoning for boll-weevil control
determination is not secured and should not
be attempted. The result aimed at is suffi-
cient reduction of the weevil infestation to
permit maturing a full crop of cotton. About
50 per cent of the squares fall before reach
ng maturity even in the absence of weevils
The present system of weevil poisoning is ex-
oected to keep the weevils controlled to such
an extent that they will no more than
offset the normal shedding-will puncture
only about as many squares as would have
fallen in any event. This means, usually
that the weevils are permitted to multiply
lnmolested until they become sufficiently
numerous to puncture more forms than would
she'd normally. Poisoning is then started
md continued until the plants have had time
to develop as many bolls as they will be able
to mature Poisoning is then stopped and
the weevils are allowed to resume multiple
cation. Remarkably large increases in yield
frequently result from comparatively slight
degreee of control for a short time. The eff
feet is cumulative, however, and can only be
secured by starting the application at the
right time and repeating them at the correct
intervals. The specialists urge planters to
conduct the operation thoroughly or not to
attempt it at all.
