lived for good time.
Their leader was Charles Algernon Sidney
Vivian. He was a strolling English actor He de-
cided that there more in life than pleasure
Charity justice brothery love and fidelity appealed
to him more worthwhile.
He called the Jolly Corbs together. They de-
bated for weeks Upon the second ballot. they
decided to form the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks.

December of that year. it had 76 members Then
the fraternal order began to spread Its teachings

the pan was hanging over the

"Oh, I'm just going out for a

NO GLAMOUR FOR HIM.
EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
THE AcHIEvEMENTs OF rnE CONFERENCE
(From the New York Herald.)


The achievements of the conference, now a
thing of history of two kinds. those that are
concrete and definite and those that human.
The definite achievements chiefly the abro-
cation of the Anglo japanese treaty, the scrapping
of battleships with the ten-year naval holiday, the
four power treaty in the Pacific, the maintenance
of the integrity of China, the open door in China
the elimination of poison and the restriction
of the murderous unlicensed submarine
The human achievements call for cordial
frank open discussion in the handling of interna-
tonal problems in conference with the purpose
and determination to reach just fair and unani-
nous conclusion; the human achievements initiate
new idea in diplomacy-directness, simplicity
earnestness that are of the essence Of American
feeling and American methods; the human
achievements provide for friendly consideration
by conference of nations in good faith of all
irritating international problems such hitherto
have led to war.
Splendid the concrete achievements OF
the conference, however, it is question whether
in the long outreach the human achievements OF
this Washington international gathering viii not
go further and mean more to the world than the
definite items of Accomplishment. 1t is our belief
that they will.

THEY CALL US AUToCRATIC.

Foreign nations lately have had much to say
about Americas moral leadership of the world but
it is noticed that the governments arising in
Europe as result of the have not been mod
eed the American plan.
There is a superficial resemblance, since they
are republics and have chief executives called pres
idents and legislative bodies corresponding roughly
to congress- but it is significant that all have
adopted the European principle Of direct response
bility to the electorate the part of cabinet min
listers and the subornations of the tuar president
to these ministers, thus making the government
popularity responsive to the peoples will. Natur-
ally the countries which have so recently thrown
off the yoke of monarchism were not DESTROYS Of
investing their executive with the powers of
a king. The president Of the United States, If he
chooses to exercise them, has powers exceeding
those of any king Instead of being subordinate to
cabinet, which in turn is controlled by a para-
ment representing the people, the president OF the
United States is the boss of his cabinet and can
discharge any member all with or without
reason.
Writing before his election to the presi-
dency, woodrow Wilson showed how an unscrupu-
lous president might defeat the only check upon
his authority in international negotiations the
United States senate. by pledging the word of the
executive in such a manner as to "put the senate
in a hole and placing 1t in such position that

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago, Feb. 16.--Buyers back
ed away from wheat today. prices
having risen to a new top record
for the season. The market closed
unsettled, NC to / sc net lower,
with May $780, to $t.39A and
July $1.22ss to $f.221a; corn fin
ished unchanged to &c higher.
Oats unchanged to Rc to 5sc down
and provisions at gains varying
from 15c to $1.30.
General selling characterized the
wheat market during the last half
of the day, whereas earlier the ma
jority of traders were on the buy
ing side. A substantial advance in
Liverpool quotations formed the
chief incentive for the upward
swing with which the market here
commenced and which kept up
with unimpaired momentum until
May had equalled the highest pre-
vious figures on the crop and July
had surmounted the seasons rec
ord. Unfavorable weather and crop
reports from the southwestern part
of the domestic winter wheat re-
gion acted as a contributing bullish
influence.
1t became clear at this stage,
however, that sentiment had UNI
dergone decided change regard
ing wheat for at least the time be-
ing. Throughout the remainder of
the day the course of prices was
down grade as a rule, with numer-
Gus weak holders attempting to I'M
load and with commission houses
pressing to sell.
Strength in the corn market was
ascribed mainly to reports that the
domestic disappearance of corn
has been at a rate much beyond
what the trade in general supposed.
Both corn and oats touched new
high price records for the season
but later were governed largely by
the changes in wheat.
Provisions, like grain, exceeded
all recent levels Advances in the
value of hogs were partly respon-
sible, and so, too, was the monthly
statement showing diminished
stocks.
Closing prices:
Wheat = May. $t.3sA; July,
$1.22%.
Corn-May, 6SMc; July, s5hc.
Oats-May, 42ssc; July, 43hc.
Pork-May, $21.00.
Lard-May, SLAP; July. $11.65.

"SONfE" SYSTEM.

VERSE OF TODAY
SMILING WINDOWS.

For the windows of my house chose
The draperies with care;
OF rose and other CHEEKY tints,
A little white, with silver glints,
Elusive, here and there.
For knowing that twas dingy, gray
My house, to outward view,
I thought, with colors gray and bright
TO make the windows smile at night,
The lamplight shining through.
/ thought to make my windows seem
To smile in friendly wise,
To send adown the dusty road 49,.
Some of the cheer that here abode
For weary stranger eyes.
And when the sun sank low, its rays
Like gold that fairies spin
Came streaming through the hangings there
To turn my humble home all fair
And glorious within.
