n Call for Backbone
To the Editor Of The Tribune.


Sir: have read the editorials Of
various New York papers and I am
surprised to learn that President Will
son is being criticized for dismissing
Mr.. Lansing and the manner In which
1t was done. Is it not time that the
people woke up to the fact that our
President at present is not normal,
either physically or mentally? Is there
no man with backbone enough to
suggest that our Vice-President take
the chair during tho illness Of our
President?
The welfare Of the people must be
considered regardless Of the feelings
Of Mr.. Wilson.

Sir, Having admitted his Inability

the Office Of President, as provided In
the Constitution, by admitting that
during the past five months he has not

retaries were still holding their weekly

that some semblance of government

retire without waiting for Congression-

THEATRES HOLD UP
No Indication of Depression Noted in
 Their Business
By AssocIated Press

Chicago, December 1.-The theatrical slump anticipated as being coincident with the general industrial let-up has failed to reach Chicago. A very slight falling off in attendance has been noted during the past few days, but managers say it is no more than usual each year as the holiday season approaches
 Five loop theatres have broken all house records during the past few weeks, according to their managers, and in two of the five, drama is the offering while a third is presenting light opera. The other two are musical shows.
 Three new legitimate theatres are un- der construction, together with two big picture houses, the investment in which is as great as in any of the theatres housing spoken attractions. With the completion of these houses theatrical men say Chicago will take it's place as a pro ducing center.
 | That there is no limit in the prices which can be charged was indicated re- gently when the manager of one house which has never housed anything but musical shows announced that he had booked a moving picture for an indefin- ite run, with seats selling at s10 on the opening night. s The same day another manager tli- nounced plans for a series Of concerts by noted artists withs seats selling al 50 cents.

H. McGreeyy, sec retary and treasurer.
 The association now has membership O. approximately 10000 in the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska, according to Mir McGreevy, who has his headquarters here. The organization will be extended he said to Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota.

sociation, but the wheat growers in gen eral, are refusing to sell any wheat at present prices except in cases where financial conditions force the sale. For more than 9 days we have withheld our wheat from the market until now large number of flour mills are idle and the local and terminal elevators are nearly empty. The wheat grower feels that he has practically accomplished what seemed at first impossible, and is now encoura ged to continue within holding his wheat from the market in order that a price which is fair and just shall be paid him for his labor and money invested
 The four states now organized (Ne- braska. Kansas. Oklahoma and Texas), in which q membership of 100000 is claimed, have 20, ,s06 wheat growers, according to Kansas board of agriculture statistics. Forty-fiYe per cent of the growers are
 members of the association, according to this. MT. McGreevy's statement is that about 40. per cent of the growers in the wheat sections of the states now organ ized are members.
 The four states produced this year &32, s5S, ,oo0 bushels out of the total for the United States Of 75o,6ss,0oo bushels. The addition of Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota would bring the produc- tion up to 35s, ,00s,ooo bushels, or slightly less than one-halt that of the entire United States
 The Kansas state board of agriculture recently issued a report on the wheat lh farmers hands. It says:
 ',rhis years Kansas wheat crop amounted approximately to 1b,Do'eW bushels. according to a preliminary re- port. Growers now estimate that ot the total production, 53.4 per cent, or H, H,4ef.- 7N bushels, is still in the farmers hands. At about the same date last year 3o.o per cent. or 50,0Coooo bushels was in posses sion of producers, while 1918, Il per cent, or 10, GOO bushels, was reported as heio bv growers Chief among the reasons given for the unusually large amount CT wheat in farmers hands are the drastic axe. i, r,rice and the car sh ortage.
