CHICAGO BOARD or TRADE.

Chicago, March 8.--High winds
drying up moisture too fast in
Kansas and Oklahoma turned
prices upward today in the wheat
market here. Government figures
on farm reserve stocks of grain,
corn in particular, were generally
regarded as bullish, but were re-
ceived after the close. 1t was an
unsettled finish, at the same as
yesterday to &c higher with May
S1.41M to $1.421s and July s1.20A
to $1.201a. Corn gained &c to 1sc,
oats closed Il C off to "a to 1ac up,
, and provisions unchanged to Csc
lower.
In the beginning the wheat mar
ket was depressed by new declines
in quotations at Liv pool, but
later the Liverpool weakness was
ascribed chiefly to profit taking
which was regarded IS about hav-
ing run it's course. Uncertainty u
to what would be shown by the
government report on domestic
farm reserves tended also to re-
strain buying during the first part
of the day. In the last half of the
session, however, attention turned
mainly to crop conditions in the
southwest. where the high winds
prevailing gave hints Il at crop
scare might develop. A material
advance in prices followed. but in
the final half hour number of pit
traders who had bought earlier be-
came sellers. and most of the rise
| in values was wiped out. Europe
took 100000 bushels. most of 1t

POLITICAL AMBITIONS.

The chaotic conditions of our state government
affairs The people are very much disguised
with the republican administration of the
state under the present control Of the organiZa-
ton The distinct drift toward the democratic
party in this state be stopped only by a thor
ugh over hauling of the republican organization
Such change will be resisted to the death by the
powers that be. They prefer defeat to the relin'
qushment Of their strange hold on the republican
organization.
Whether or not there is sufficient vitality out
side the machine to force change, is very doubt
full The prospect is extremely gloomy.
Outside of New Mexico a worried look is on the
faces of republican politicians They whisper that
it looks like democratic year in the national field
Republican leaders trying hard to turn the
trend of public opinion.
The first year of the Harding regime has been
tough year for the people. The party in power is
invariably held responsible for public ills, even
though the troubles are due to causes beyond its
control. Mere coincidence in point Of time between
the Harding inauguration and the bad business
conditions is a factor which is likely to aid the DEM
ocrats this fall
Added to this disadvantage is the fact that the
republican congress lacks its old time leadership
Mediocre men lead the party. The people are moi
altogether satisfied with results.
The year 1922 looks like democratic year. Per
haps another three months will change the situa
ton. Great energy and skill will be needed by the
republicans to change it.

SIDE STEPPING.

The city commission evaded direct responsible
ity when it refused take positive position elth2r
for or against the application of the City Electric
company for permission to raise street car fares IN
the city to seven cents
The commission represents the people Of the
city There is no one else through whom the pub
lie can speak or act in such matters. When the
commission failed to act, the public was voiceless.
This was political cowardice, pure and simple.
Either the City Electric is entitled to raise it's fares
or it is not. There is no middle ground. The COM
mission should have investigated and taken posi-
ton either defending the public against eXtortion
or giving reasons why the people should acquiesce
in the raise.
Mr. George Rosllngton. manager of the City
Electric is close business associate of at least one
city commissioner who has great influence with two
other commissioners To do nothing probably
deemed less dangerous than to do openly what MI
Washington desired. Yet it would have the same
effect because there would be no to act for the
people and the raise would become effective b.
default
raise of one cent in fares is serious to
poor people living on the outskirts OF the city.
Unless the raise is absolutely necessary to the SOL
vency of the company, it should be resisted.
The commission can ascertain without any
great difficulty whether or this raise in rates
is necessary It should do and if the result of
the investigation is adverse to the company. the
machinery of the company should be used to pro-
tect those using the street cars from imposition.
Mr.. George Roslington is not entitled to the
silent acquiescence of the commission in his plans
The people are entitled to have their government
function in their behalf.
Don't side-step gentlemen.

THE NEW POSTAL HEAD.

The presidents selection of DR.. Hubert Work,
first assistant postmaster general to succeed Post
master General Will II. Hays, has been generally
expected because the qualifications of the man
chosen by Mr.. Hays his chief assistant seemed
to indicate DR.. Work as the logical person to con-
tinue and carry out the program Of rehabilitation
of the postal service happily advanced during
the years incumbency Of Mr.. Hays and himself.
The men and women in the service will especially
rejoice in the expectation that the improvements
effected will be maintained and the public hopefully
shares that confidence.

the question to why that particular joke makes
us laugh. The magic formula which releases the
springs of laughter is distant and elusive as

one set of sentences makes laugh, and why an
other does not, but the original mystery remains
unfathomable Why do we laugh at all? Why do

Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy. Here is a
bottle of strong peppermint drops, -
and she handed it to Mr.. Longeals.
Nothing could be better" said
Uncle Wiggily with low and polite
bow, even though it made his tooth
hurt worse to stoop over. "I'll stay
in today, and rub peppermint on
my aching tooth. Tomorrow I'll
go to the dentists" he decided.
I'm rather glad you are going
to stay in today" spoke Nurse Jane.

she went on, "but l have to go out,
over to see Mrs Twistytail, the pig
lady, and it's just as we'll to have

"Pll be in the bungalow, but
won't be very WELL" grunted Uncle
Wiggily, as he rubbed some of the
strong, smarty peppermint on his
tooth. The smart and burn, bad as
! 1t was, made the ache seem little
less, and the bunny gentleman felt
! better.
"Tll hop along now, Uncle Wig
gily," said Nurse Jane, when she
had made the hot water bag ready
for him in case he might need it.
II hope your toothache will soon be
lended."
"The peppermint helps 1t some"
answered the rabbit uncle, as he sat
in his easy chair with the bottle of
strong essence near hI!n on the
table.
Uncle Wiggily's pain was little

the Bear, "Well, I'll show you ii

Before Uncle Wiggily could say
another word the Bear snatched
away the bottle of strong, burning
peppermint. put it to his mouth and
swallowed every drop. Then, as
quick as a wink, the Bear gave
most dreadful howl, crying:
"Oh, l must have swallowed a
red hot gas stove! Water! Water!
Water" and he ran out and jumped
in snow panH to cool his tongue.
"Ha! Ha!' laughed the bunny.
II guess you'll never have tooth

Mr.. Longears' toothache stopped
from that moment. But the burn
in the Bears mouth lasted all night,

THE NEW BONUS BILL.

The adjusted compensation dilemma seems in
fair way toward solution Four of the original five
options to the ex-service men remain in the bill.
The cash payment is eliminated and in its stead IS
put loan plan. The certificate issued may be
used as collateral in borrowing, under careful re-
strictions which prevent conscation of the equity
of the original holder.
1t would seem that such arrangement will
fairly serve the needs of such service are
in imperative need of immediate money, without
putting the strain of a large immediate cash out
lay on the treasury.
In all probability the men will be much better
off in the end by the new arrangement consd-
cradle amount of cash placed in the hands of these
boys most of whom have been lnaccustomed TO
having much money, would result in many instances
its being squandered at once Not only would it be
case OF "easy come, easy CO." but actual harm
would result in great number of cases

the ex-service men will be toward the new pro-
posai. but it appears to the Journal that the men

CONCERNING PAVING.

Editor Morning Journal:
l desire to bring forward for
public discussion an issue which
many of us consider Of vital inn
portance, and which ought to
have some influence in the selec-
ton of three city commissioners
at the election on April 4. That
is the suggestion that the city
do it's own paving in the future,
rather than let it by contract.
That is to my mind the only way
to settle once and forever this
vexed and vexatious question in
favor of the property owner. l
can conceive of no valid objec-
ton to this plan under our pres
ent form of city government,
which is absolutely non-partisan,
and therefore qualified to con-
duct the city's affairs on a strict
ly business basis. ] am convinced
that the city could do this work
for a great deal less than any
contractor, however benevolently
inclined he may be. The exper-
fence of other cities bears this
out.
There is no difference of opin-
ion on the deslrability and neces-
sity Of paving the whole city just
as quickly as possible, but 1t
should be done at the lowest pos
sible cost. 1t will mean the ex-
penditure of several millions OF
dollars in the next few years, es-
pecially If we extend the city linn
its, and should therefore be q
matter of great concern to every

But Uncle Wiggily need not have
