NE Markets.

No one can fail to have liking for Senator
CaPper He is SO cocksure and so aggressive Tat
ne IS often more convincing than he may really in
tend He may even convince himself. Doubt and
ne parted company long before he entered politics
and that was good while ago.
Yet Mr.. Capper is about the only person on
earth who feels personal license in these days to
be- oocksure of anything twenty-four hours in the
future. 1t is period when knows to
certainty what will happen tomorrow in any spot
on this earth. The news of the world, political
economic, financial, social is a veritable kaleido-
scope. Every turn of the sun brings new. pattern
in world affairs. Correspondents supposed to be
close to reliable sources, directly contradict each
other.
The only way to know what any commodity,
stock, or security is worth is to find what it will
sell for in money today. II is then necessary, in
order to be wholly sure, to find what the money is
worth. There is nothing that is evidence OF value
which is not varying in its gold value from day to
day.
But nothing of this; nothing OF conditions in
Russia, Germany, Greece, Turkey or any foreign
land; nothing of domestic disturbances, labor
troubles, threatened railroad and packing house
strikes, unemployment and business liquidation, af-
fects Mr.. Capper. He knows, and it is a comfort
to hnd even one who does. If all others
thought they knew. this alone might stabilize this
old, tottering, unsteady earth.
The immediate certainty in the Senator's mind
is that wheat gambling" is the cause of all the
farmers ills. 1t is this gambling" and not world
conditions, which affect the market price of wheat
and make it vary from day to day. OF course, the
prices of all other commodities also vary in about
the same measure. do the prices quoted for all
stocks. But what of that?
Wheat gambling" has closed down the -four
mills, he says, because the miers do not dare buy
wheat. Since nearly all milling is done to fill or
ders and millers buy wheat to protect such -four
sales, the force of this argument is of doubtful
weight.
1t may be that -four milIers are rather inhu-
enced by the wobbly condition of their own market
and by the dubious value of all credits, especially
those of foreign origin. Even the ups and downs
of exchange values, hardly chargeable to wheat
gambling" may be factor in the millers equation
The Senator might, too, undertake to reconcile
the latest Federal report wheat stocks with that
of January and that with the still earlier report
Yet these estimates, which accurate human
ingenuity make them, directly affect the market
prices.
He says there are wild fluctuations daily in
wheat quotations and "the weeks range of prices
may easily vary as much as from IS to so cents
bushel." Perhaps they may But do they, and,
if so, when? Sueness is always assertive 1t is
seldom argumentative and less often investigative
Facts left for others to find and carry; they
are but impedmenta to the cocksure.

German Poverty and German Prosperity.

Any attempt to judge the actual ability of Ger
many to meet the allied terms is made extremely
difficult if not impossible by the conflicting evidence
of the present conditions. On one hand there is the
critical situation of the food supply and the almost
hopeless problem of national finances
On the other hand, German industries exhibit
a remarkable recovery from the generalization of
war and are approaching condition in which they
will be able to compete with industries of other
countries. These conditions, which are apparently
contradictory, result of the former system of
government in which statesmen were practically
unknown and even politicians were only tolerated
. necessary evil
The former government. directed and admins
tered by school -of stif-necked bureaucrats, af-
forded opportunity for tsaining or experience of
men upon whom fefi the responsibility OF govern
ment when the old order passed. The best ability
and energy of the country was employed by indus
try where it is.
Because of this inheritance from the DAYS of
autocracy, Germany has passed through two years
Of the most hagrant kind Of misgovernment. Under
this new bureaucracy the number of persons recev-
ing pay from the government is steadily increasing
as is the governments deficit.
There has been greater political activity and
wider discussions of political questions than ever
before, but all this has been an Intellectual chorus
that has accompanied every kind of administrative
incompetence. The country has debt of 100000
100000 marks, which can be e'reduced only by the
strictest economy, and by the use of greatest eff
cheney. Yet economy is conspicuously absent in
those quarters where it is possible, and efficiency
has long since ceased to be ar, attribute of the
German government.
While the funetionaries who have been en-.
trusted with the business of government, struggle
Intellectually to meet very serious problem which
has been left them the industries of the country are
taking steps which will enable them to secure rapid
efficient and cheap production and distribution
This reorganization is taking the form of
justification. There are being formed close con-
nections between all interests which are engaged in
the production of material and the manufacture
and distribution of products. One evidence of the
efficiency of this reorganization is in the fact that in
the first nine months of 1910 Germany sent to
England goods valued at sI7oooooo. This same
energy and efficiency is evidenced in the case Of
the Krupp works which was run at loss of so,-
100000 marks in IoIs-IoIo. but in IoIo-Ioao made a
profit of 7o.sooooo marks,
That the German people have faith in the In
dustrsi capacity Of their country Is shown By the
fact that since the revolution they have invested
in business concerns total of I3.5ooooo.ooo marks
In spite of these signs of German recovery

League to Prevent War.

nRESIDENf HARDIHG'S first action as to
labor troubles reminds one of Theodore
Roosevelt. He has not waited for trouble
to come. He has taken time by the forelock rather
than by the tail. He has notified the packers at
Chicago that there agencies at their
disposal to prevent industrial warfare.
He has asked them to send representatives to
Washington to meet with the Departments of La
Dor, Agriculture and Commerce, to endeavor to find
ways and means to settle labor troubles in this in
dustry in advance of open break. This action
viii give great satisfaction throughout the country
This is not the time of day for employers and
employees to get stubborn. 1t is not the time for
hrebrands but for give and take. The cost of liv-
ing just adjusting itself lower levels must not be
increased by arbitrary action of either employees Or
employers in any vital industry.
In this instance the packers and workers have
really less at interest less to be considered than
the total population dependent for this necessary
food supply upon this concentrated industry. To
what extent the packers have liquidated is not
known to the public
They do not know if this has gone to a point
which rightly requires labor liquidation 1t is not
known to what Extent such important factors as
rents have been adjusted in Chicago. Kansas City
and other packing centers Have the landlords be-
gun liquidation there?
The first essential for the packers is publicity
II they have sufficient case and the workers
fails, there is way out. If they have sufficient
case, probably it may be up to the workers. in the
national interest, to also iquidate wages even at
immediate sacrifice to themselves, which
would be less than that OF prolonged strike where
their fellow workmen would be among the chief
victims.
But above all. President Harding has served
notice that there is sort of national league or
ganized and available for the expressed purpose of
avoiding industrial war and social strife This or
ganizaton he served notice. must be used and that

University Exams
Are Dark Age Relic

University examinations are bar
barous and ridiculous surviyals Of
the dark ages. They SHOULD be
abolished"
There was gasping in the Ger
man class of Prof. Frank A. Bern
storff, at Northwestern University.
in Evanston, Ill. Before any Of the
astonished pupils could even grasp
the full meaning Of what he was
saying he shocked them some more.
II mean It," he said. why don't
you students get together. and sign
q petition to have all examinations
abolished?"
Fatty Kelly, who uses an ink
eraser on his semester reports be-
fore sending them home, leaned SO
far out of his seat that he fell out.
/. A students final grade should de-
pend on his daily work and intelli-
gence," continued the professor.
Too often students cram for exam
nations. Thus they befuddle their
brains and 1t becomes impossible to
do good work.
The methods employed in schools
and academies of today are differ
years ago. Examinations alone re-
main. Get together and abolish
them.
Every student should sign the
petition and present 1T to the dean
and president of the university for
action.
Stpdents ask me whether there
