A GRAIN GLUT
Guelph, ontari6S Mercury.

Guelph, OntarioS mercury
Montreal elevators are said TO be overlooking
with grain, while steamers are returning empty
to Europe. Assuming that the news dispatches
are correct, the situation must be deemed a seri-
one for the Canadian farmer for, if there is
no European market and the American market
is closed because of the operation of the Ford
ney bill. the price of the grain now in storage
will necessarily have to drop to entice buyers to
take chance even a speculation
Europe is not buying, probably, because she
cannot. European money is practically valueless.
Russia, which is sorely in need of foodstufs, uses
a rouble which is absolutely worthless as a med
ium of international exchange Germany is little
better Her mark has deprecated to be worth
less than one cent in American money, while
gold is evidently not available. Other nations are
similarly bankrupt They all need Canadian
grain, but unless Allied countries come to their
assistance with credits. country with a sur
plus of grain afford to supply that need.
The chief effect of the Fordney bill barring
Canadian cereals has had the expected effect of
increasing the price of foodstuffs to the U. S.
consumers to such extent that all sections of
the public across the border are demanding its
removal, the Republican section seeming particu
larly hostile to it, because it has put the dom
nant party in the obnoxious position of having
AhCl eaSSu tiie high COSI Oh living at q time when
the cost should come down.
The railway men advanced this as one reason
for objecting to wage cut The Fordney bill
has increased the cost of living; if there were
strike forced on the American people the Repub-
lican party would not be wholly bameless for the
trouble that would ensue
Canada had good grain crop this year. but
1t has no market. market cannot be found by
legislation; yet the agrarians of the West are
attempting to capitalize the stagnation of the
markets for entering the political
field. Until the money values of Europe are re-
stored to something near pre-war levels the mar
kets there will not be of much value to Canad-
ians. The arbitrary fixing of values by American
bankers looks to have been great speculative
scheme that must eventually result in the fnan-
cial ruin of Europe, none of the states of which
can ever hope to re-estabsh themselves fnan-
cially unless the United States consents to the
re-estabishment of their money values The
Canadian grain trade depends on Europe for a
market, and the United States holds the key to
the same.

THE SINFUL MINORITY

You'd think, from reading scarehead tales about
the carnival of crime that all are headed for the
jails and few men tread the paths sublime It's
always pleasing to reflect that where one fellow

are plying bucksaws in the sun. Where one goes
forth on stealthy feet to croak stranger for his
wad, thousand gents threshng wheat or
Flowing up the virgin sod. The gunman makes
the breezy tale that gives pale moralists the
blues; the thousand farmers in the vale don't
draw a sentence in the news. Wrong is the reader
who believes that all the world is on the blink
because some libertines and thieves are figuring
in crimson ink. lot of us still go our way with.
out sandbag or gun, and try our best, from
day to day, to see some worthy action done A.
lot of us still live lives as though there were
a moral law; we jog along with our own wives.
and saney use the wage we draw A lot of us
still go to church, and bank upon the good and
true, nor finch If officers would search our eel
lars for homemade brew. The rascals kick up
lots dust, and they are inselent and bold; but
all the time the good and just outnumber them a
thousand fold.

ering about Il hardest gale the old gulf can gen
crate. Tampa Was upright and smiling long before
the wind died down. Full relief was provided for
all the sufferers. Ample provision is being made TO
repair the damage to the water front and especially
the beautiful Bayshore Boulevard. The visitors
were given a thrilling but not dangerous exhibi-
ton of what semi-tropical nature do occasion
ally. and along with it they were given better
insight into the stamina and vitality of the west
coast metropolis than they would have acquired in
whole season of lolling around the parks and ho-
tells.
And, it may be added. there was no sensible
dimnution in the sale of suburban lots.

THE FLORIDA SPIRIT

Tampa and St. Petersburg and all the other
towns more or less injured in last weeks tropical
storm, have set to work with determination to
not only restore damaged property but to improve
on former conditions as much as possible. St. Pet
ersburg offers notable example of civic pride and
progressiveness in the decision to build a munich
pal pier costing in the neighborhood of million
dollars. 1t seems that practically every pier on
that ctys waterfront was either partially or en-
tirely destroyed These structures had been of
wood, built years ago when the city was in its
infancy and the needs not nearly so great as they
are today The investment of million dollars
in recreation pier would be of tremendous value
to ST. Petersburg and afford of its chief attrac-
tons, capitalizing its waterfront asset and turning
what many people thought was misfortune into
success That is the spirit that results in doing big
things and it is just like St. Petersburg to achieve
something of this kind.

TEN YEARS OLD

since its, establishment by Mr. and Mrs NJ F.
Hetherington, has tried to be a good youngster
loyal to its community, to the state and to our
country 1t has tried to be builder. an optmist
and constructonist helper, an adviser; it has
never attempted to carry the entire load but rather
to cooperate with all the people in advancing
those material things that have helped Lakeland
grow and develop until it is today one of the most
beautiful cities in all the Southland Our birthday
hope and prayer is that we may be privileged to
continue this mission of unsehsh service

TAMPA AND THE STORM

Without stopping to discuss the question of
whether the Tampa realtors right in Their con-
tenon that the exigences Of the real estate business
should be considered in reporting big news story
like that of the recent storm. the Telegram desires
TO offer some comment on I ampa's behavior under
the shock of that near disaster
The managing editor CT this paper who was
in ampa during the storm period, was forcibly
struck with the promptness and energy with which
the city took up the work of relieving the sufferers
removing the debris and restoring to use its crippled
public service utilities
The storm was at its height at three o'clock
in the afternoon The wind shifted and began
to abate slightly little later By five
o'clock men were on the street clearing off the
trees and broken branches The water works sys-
TEN was paralyzed by the food in the engine room,
but the men staid by the pumps, and next morn
ing there was water in the pipes The telephone
service, injured perhaps, worse than any other
utility, unless it the electric lighting and street
railway system went entirely out of commission
about twelve o'clock tuesday,, with lines down
and cables broken all over the city, but on We'd
nesday many Of the business phone were in op-
Grafton. 1t took another day to get the street
cars running, but not a moments time was lost.
So with all the other damage. No city ever
showed more energy, promptness and pluck in
getting back into normally" and that fact ought
TO be emphasized before the memory of the storm
begins to fade
Of course the damage was exaggerated That
was inevitable. With the streets Uttered with
broken trees, smashed glass; fragments of roof and
other wreckage, the first impression was naturally
pessimistic. A few houses were overturned by
the wind A number of places along the water
front were badly injured Two or three lives
were lost All this, circulated by rumor, created
extravagant notions of the magnitude of the in
jury. But 1t is conceded that the total loss
is less than million dollars. 1t is widely distrib-
ued, almost everybody receiving some damage.
But what effect will these facts have upon the
general prosperity of the placer This paper be-
lieves it will have none whatever The storm les
son is that if the hurricane strikes Tampa right
squarely in the face the city can stand it. 1t is
one of the safest places in the United States to
live. The average bungalow was not even shaken.
Composition roofing, as a whole, failed TO meet
the expectations of the user, and the superiority of
shingles was demonstrated, but that is an unimpor-
tant incident. The big fact is that, after wealth

must have patience in the collection Of its European

warranted by the facts
