GOOD TONE ID GRAIN .ON ACCOUNT OF A BIC EXPORT DEMAND.
Provisions Were Dull With the Exception of Covering By Shorts In January
 Lard
By Associated Pres.

Chicago, October 2S-The big. export demand of the past few days and the strength in foreign markets gave grains a good tone at the start today, but when the buying power eased offSthe market broke and at the finish wheat was ? to 2s4 cents lower with December s1.99% to s20o and March $1.ss1a to sl.9sss Corn was off three-auarters to>1 cents and oats was unchanged to one-half cent down. Pro- visions ranged from 30 cents lower to % cents higher Wheat prices closed easier after being irregular almost throughout the session. Cash interests were the best sellers while outside buying was light. The best price of the day was made shortly after the start, due to scattered buying but this was followed by irregular recessions and rallies with local traders doing most of the business. The news of the day in. cluded conflicting reports from abroad relative to the strike situation. Export demand was reported as inactive today while yesterday it was said around 2,5OO : coo bushels of wheat were worked for export.
 Early strength in wheat helped corn. but selling by large interests soon filled buyers, the market easing rapidly. The

 Trade in oats futures was very light and the finish. which was near the low for the day, was practically unchanged from the previous days close. Aside from covering by shorts in Jan- uary lard and little selling of October, provisions were dull.

George Y. b. Weeks stated this after
noon when interviewed by a reporter
for the Free Trader-Iouranl that it
was likely that the city would file oh

The mayor in sneaking Of the 1-cont

old rate schedule as the town was
small and in case the rates We're
raised a great many of the people who
were in the habit of taking car for q

He stated that with one-man cars he

Iished in translation and have gone un-
scathed, although they treated sex in
far more morbid and radical manner
than either of the American books. Such
examples Of inconsistency could be multi
piled at great length. Comstock activity
has not been Il systematic campaign
against anything in particular: it has
merely been series of isolated assaults
on individual authors and publishers
Its net effect has not been to purge our
books stores and libraries OF anything
whatever, but merely to keep our native
authors and publishers in state ct
terror and occasionally in a state of
bankruptcy. While a book like The
Genius is withheld from circulation any
one may 80 to the Library Of Congress
and get the complete works of Guy de
Maupassant, which are equally frank
and far more morbid in their treatment
of sex themes. They may also find
there, or in any other first class library,
hundreds of other foreign works which
are more indctable on the same counts
than the American novels which have
been suppressed. The Comstocks often
fail even to keep out of circulation the
books they suppress. "Jurgen. has
preston and is now selling secretly IN
New York ut SO a copy. But the
author is not getting any OF this money.
Such is the argument against the,
Comstocks which is made by critics and
authors. In Its defense it claims that
it is defending the young against the
demorali2ing influences of art. Not only
is this defense weakened by the con-
sideration that the Comstocks have in
fact worked only sporadcally and with
out judgment or system. but it is fur
thcr weakened by the wcllknown fact
that literature not suited for the very
young Is generally kept out Of their
hands. and is often unintelligible to them.
Firearms are also dangerous in the

get the vote Of California or any other Johnson
state on such platform, it would be because
the voters had entirely repudiated Johnson and
his political principles. Johnson is against the
treaty, root and branch. He frankly appeals
to the ultra-radical voters As long as Senator
johnson spends most of his time running
around the country trying to persuade the vot-
ers to give him a bigger and better paying job,
while neglecting his duties as United States
senator for which he contracted with the voters,
and for which he is drawing down salary out
Of their money, he can hardly be regarded as
an exponent of sound business principles. He
is servant Of the people under salary to per-
form the duties of senator at Washington but
he is not there. Any private employer would
fire an employee who spent his time trying to
get better job for himself instead of earning
his salary by attending to the job for which ne
was employed. 1t is apparent that Senator
Johnson does not measure up to Herbert Hoov-
ers ideal of public service But Johnson con-
trolls the Republican political machine in Cali
fornia with an iron hand, or did the last time
trial was had, so we agree with his lieutenants
that the Republican Hoover club has slim
chance of getting any delegates from California,
or indeed from any other state where the politi-
cal machines control. Still, he is developing
following in the other states that must worry
the other candidates quite Bit though the fol-
lowing he has is not of sort that is very likely
to get delegates in the convention. It is mostly
from business men and independents in poll
tics who owe very slight allegiance to partisan
politics or politicians. They don't often get in
to presidential nominating conventions in either
party For that reason we guess that it is not
likely that he will be nominated by the Republi-
cans or the Democrats either, and he has said
he is opposed to third party movement. At
any rate we are of the opinion that Herbert
Hoover is good man, great man, and man
fully up to presidential size.

SHooVER AND THE REPUBLICANS

= rho Hoover boom in the Republican party
continues to grow albeit he continues 10 1nsls'
that he is not a candidate and does not seek t1ie
nomination. It is, however, quite plain tha'
his boom is greatly troubling the Hiram John-
son hoomers. They have been assuring US re-
con+,v in such positive and earnest tones tna1
uoovor hss no ghost of a show to be nominated

+he nomination of Herbert Hoover on the Re-
.,,,h,;c,r ticket seems to be in California, Sena-
+or Johnson's home state. It seems that they
have a Republican Hoover CLUB ana ne recently

ran narty - with the independent element IN

THE PRESIDENT ON TURKEY.

President Wilson has sent to the supreme AL
lied Council a note telling them what he thinks
they should do in settling up war issues with
Turkey and criticizing some OF the Things tney
propose to particularly allowing the turks
to remain as a government in Constantlnople'
With the views he expresses we find ourselves
in agreement, but we think ne might petter
have kept silent at this time, because MS note
laws us open to the reproach that some OF the
French statesmen have already thrown at US.
They saw very patty that they agree with
President Wilson that the Turks should be
driven out of Europe, but that requires an army
of several hundred thousand men, and who Is
to furnish it. France desperately striving to
Get her head above the financial waters can
not afford to undertake the task, Great Britain
seems likewise disinclned to do it, and the Unl@
ted States which is best able to do the trick
will not so much as touch it with it's little fin
ger. The note that advises the allies to under
take the heavy task of expelling the Turk from
Europe also contains the statement that the
United States declines for the present to be even
represented on the board that is to settle affairs
in Turkey.
It seems to u.s. that inasmuch as the United
States rejected the German peace treaty ana de-
clned to accept any responsibility for settling
anything at all in Europe, it was hardly gooa
taste for President Wilson to offer criticism and
advice as to what the allies should or should not
do in Europe. Of course it is not his fault but
the undisputed fact is that to date the United
States has refused to accept any responsibility
whatever for reconstruction in Europe. lhat
being the case it would appear to US that we
should keep mighty still for awhile and not crl-
ticise the powers that are willing to carry out
the terms of the peace treaty. We are on record
as saving, "Let George do it. 1t is his busl-
ness. not ours'' If that be so we might well
let him do it without criticism or directions as
to how he might do it. It does not sound good
to us to have the president tell the allies that
thew should give the Armenians the port OF
Trebizond when he knows and we know tnat
this country would not spare man or dollar
to nut the Armenians in possession there or
keen them there afterwards. Where nation
declines all responsibility for results 1t shoulo
90 slow about advising other nations to take ac-
tion. That is our criticism OF the presldents
note to the allies about what they should 90 IN
Turkey. We have not the least doubt that 1t
