these same sane and safe rules i'll the

thus they crawl amid the murky mead

Reasoning in Rhetorical Language.
Cites Great Principles and PAYS
Homage to the Great Teacher.

TO contemplate the spectacle of n
legislature turning loose laws upon
q long suffering people in blocks of a
bakers dozen, one would Suppose,
that our legislators imagined that
the State was suffering from a
dearth OF law, instead Of being SLOW
ly but surely strangled to death with
the dry rot of too much law and too
little liberty. The real need Of this
state. and the whole world Is less
law and more liberty. More freedom
to pursue and practice the right
which our laws prevent. Therefore,
do not be surprised at the little good
accomplished by these really talented
legislators, but rather be startled at
the littleness Of the evil wrought out,
under the basic law Of the common
wealth which sanctions and makes
lawful the low vice of theft, and a
minor law, which Furnishes an officer
whom he practices the Golden Rule.

GRAIN MARKET
IN TURMOIL.
Big Drop in Prices To-day Claimed BY
| Some to Mark Turning Point in
Era Of High
Prices. ...w

TUnited Press Leased Wire Service. |
CHICAGO, April 21.-Grain futures
on the Chicago board of trade closed
today with the pits in a turmoil and
with all prices sharply lower.
A number of conditions acted to
bring about the drop, but it was talk
en- philosophically in the pits where
it was claimed the drop was lorg
overdue. 1t caught all traders by
surprise, however, and there was lit.
tie effort to support the market in the
last few minutes of trading. ,.
May corn closed AZ cents below the
opening. 1721a; July, S1s cents below
the opening, 166, and September Z
cents below the opening, 161. May
oats was off from the opening, 9713,
and July down 5A from the opening,
1914.
The financial situation in general.
particularly a realization that federal
reserve banks were really striving to
end expansion was a big factor. Much
attention was paid to the entire inan-
cial situation, the stock market being
reflected to a considerable extent Ru-
mors of financial depression in Japan,
formed another bearish factor.
Individual dealers claimed to see in
the break in prices turning point in
the era of high cost. The grain mar
ket, being most sensitive, they said,
was the first to feel the wind.
So sudden was the drop that the
market was disorganized for time
and closing prices were not quoted
for several minutes after the closing
gong.

ed, it was not long, however, before
the shorts concluded that it would DE
wise to cover, in view of the exten-
sive selling of Monday and Tuesday.
In the parlance OF the street, the mar
ket had been oversold.
A disturbing factor in the market
as 4 whole was heavy selling of the
war bonds, which touched new low
levels.
The decline was accelerated in the
last hour. in which period steel slip
ped below par and General Motors
sold down to 275, a net loss of more
than ~ points.
