THE WORLD AND WHEAT

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
 Europe will be in the market for 5S200O ,O0O bushels of wheat this year, according to the commerce department report. This is 27 ,000,- 900 bushels more than Europe imported last year The report presents situation which should stimulate the American wheat market Had the report been issued week ago possibly wheat would not have dropped below $1 a bushel It did that when the Chicago market received report that Russia would be an ex- porter of wheat after this harvest.
 Wheat growers of the United States will hope the commerce department is correct and that the Russia story is wrong There is so much wheat in this years crop and there will be so large an exportable surplus that the ex- tra demand from Europe forecast by the com merce department would be of great help to keep the price where fair profit may be re- alized by the producer of this country.
 At the same time there is fear in the trade that there may be something in the Russia story. There have been so many bushels of American corn donated to Russian relief that it IS not impossible that the soviet government has been able to save out of the wheat received from it's levies on the farmers there what would make profitable export shipment.
 It would not be beyond the soviet to permit the United States to feed the millions of starv- ing Russians with corn and sell it's accumula- ton Of wheat. It needs good money, such as wheat will bring If it has any wheat surplus it may be depended on to sell it. If it does. the wheat grower of the United States will see the corn he sold for Russian relief become the cause Of Russian wheat competing with his in the European market. This situation may not arise, but there is nothing in the soviet con- -c'ence to prevent il if tb~ soviet has the wheat.

 RICHARD III.
JOHNSON RENOMINATED
 IN CALIFORNIA

Hiram Johnson's victory in the California primaries was not landslide, but the returns show that he still retains a strong hold on Cali fornia voters. His opponent, Charles c. Moore, developed surprising strength.
 The fight against Johnson seems to have gathered momentum during the closing weeks of the campaign. As in the case of certain other eminent republicans this year, Senator Johnson felt the currents of unrest that are sweeping through the country and the dissatis- fled clements in California combined against him to nominate MT. Moore
 Senator Johnsons defeat was not expected, to be sure, but these are unsettled times and no man knoweth what the morrow will bring forth in politics. The interest created by Sena- tor Johnson's race was due partly to his pictur- esque personality and the fact that Johnson and California are SO closely associated in the pub lie mind it is hard to think of one without the other, but from a national point of view, the California senator is being studied as a presi- dential possibility.
 lC 5 uo seCret thaI oShaIo1 Sonaaon SnS1AoiAcS designs on the White House. In spite of his ''bull moose" tendencies, the republicans might have difficulty in naming a more capable man for the presidency. If Hiram ever got to the White House he would doubtless give . fair imitation of Theodore Roosevelt in his prime and now that he is assured of at least one moro term in the Senate he will be expected to keep his eye on the main chance.

MOTORLESS FLIGHT

From the Chicago News.
 Some truly amazing flights have been ae- complished in the trials of gliders, or motor less airplanes, in the contests now being held at Gersfeld, Germany. The most remarkable thus far is that of Hentzen, young German student, who succeeded in maintaining hls machine in the air for more than two hours. Another notable achievement was flight in a glider covering distance of slightly more than six miles.
 The German gliders have been far more tors. Young Hentzen in his two-hour trip seems to have accomplished something like the flight of bird-to have floated on the breeze like hawk or a gull. The wings of his ana the other machines are rigid, but scientists are already dreaming of the development of flex- ible wings that can be made to take advantage of all the varying wind currents. They even have visions of wings that can be made to flap and actually propel a machine
 How far gliders can be developed for any thing more than exhibition purposes is as vet uncertain. It is argued that in commercial use they could be operated much more cheaply than are motor-driven airplanes or airships So, no doubt, they could; but the wind is a far less certain motive power than is a motor, and since sailing ships have been driven from the seas by engine-propelled vessels, it is not easy to imagine that "windjammers" will drive the power planes out of the skies Still, in these days of astonishing inventions it is not safe to predict what will not develop.

EXILE

 Theodore Maynard in The London Mercury. If London come to empty loss And jackals vail at Charing Cross; And if at Westminster The lizards crawl about each niche; And she be poor who once was rich J shall remember her. For I divine with what in mind The abbey windows were designed, Her pavements were laid down; And how her streets were meant to go Beyond the steeple bells of Bow To the celestial town. And so beside the Golden Gate A gate of purer gold I wait, A more resplendent wall Than London's-daring now to lift My voice to praise Gods bitter gift, Exile, the best of all.

A PROMISE.

Shall we sigh that summers waning,
 Shall we shed salty tear At the though that winds complaining Soon will mark the fading year? Shall we voice our discontentment
 That the steaming days are done, Or express sharp resentment
 For this respite from the sun? No, indeed, but let's be grateful
 That we've ceased to be so hot, Though coal profiteers are hateful
 And a greedy, grasping lot, Drawing comfort from the rumor
 Sent from Washington to please, That the ultimate consumer
 Will not be allowed to freeze.

WHY NEW ORLEANS IS THE BIGGER PORT

The people of Alabama have a great oppor- tunity in their port at Mobile. It is for them to use to their profit or pay higher toll for shipping their surplus farm and factory pro- duction to other nations through ports further removed.
 One newspaper opposing the seaport aid amendment makes this statement: 'No half way intelligent person will be decieved by this New Orleans comparison-New Orleans always has and always will handle more incoming and handle in several months.
 New Orleans will continue to handle moro tonnage than Mobile long as New Orleans is several times better equipped for serving ships than Mobile is, but Mobile enjoys de- cidedly tho superior position with respect to the central Mississippi valley and will increase her shipping in proportion to the facilities of fered. To say that New Orleans will always handle several times the shipping that Mobile does is to deny Alabama's spirit of progressive ness.
 Mobile has an especially strategic superiority over New Orleans in the proximity of coal fields, which can send an abundance of coal to Mobile for bunkerage purposes by . low freight water route. Many steamers arc now putting in at Mobile for bunker coal since the opening of the federal coal terminal there and the dearth of bunker coal at New Orleans fol- lowing the car shortage. Two ships left Mobile this week with Alabama products for the Pa cific coast.
 If Alabamians wish to have . real port of their own at low cost of freight for the ship ment of products to the outer world they can have 1t through the seaport amendment, or they can give up and remain in the rear column.

MEXICANS ARE BECOMING
 BASEBALL FANS

We have never been able to make friends of the Mexican by shaking the big stick at him. Baseball promises better and more lasting re- suits. American Consul James B. Stewart at Chihuahua confirms rumors that baseball is taking the place of bull fighting in Mexico
 In report to the department of commerce, Consul Stewart says, Hast Sundays game was witnessed by nearly 5000 spectators, an attend ance seldom if ever registered at the local ring in the palmy days of bull fighting. Baseball has become popular in the Chihuahua district that it was necessary to enlarge the ball grounds constructed last spring, and there are usually several thousand more spectators than can be accommodated. At the opening of new ball park the governor of the state threw out the first ball and music was furnished by mili- tary band of s5 pieces.
 Nothing will bring the United States and Mexico closer together than an interest in clean, healthful sports. Bull fighting is not only brutal and debasng, but it is 50 offensive to most Americans that it has done great deal 10 create prejudice against the Mexicans. When Mexico Is land of baseball diamonds and the sleepy peon is galvanized by witnessing hard fought games from the bleachers, Mexico will be . better and happier country
 Athletics are infinitely more beneficial to nation than banditry, revolutions and the un- limited consumption of strong waters. There Is talk of making Mexico dry. That may come about some day. In the meantime baseball is accomplishing peaceful penetration" of the country and MT. Ford plans to fill Mexico with "flivvers." Baseball and flivvers will help the Mex1cans wonderfully
 Tho younger generation may yet live to see automobiles almost as common in Mexico as they arc in the United States and baseball stars supplanting military adventurers in public esteem

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
ALMOST PERSUADED

"Did the evangelist convert Zeke Dawdle?"
 ''No, but he came mighty close to doing it" said Squire Witherbee. "Zeke says he dug his heels in the ground and held back for all he was worth, but if the preacher had stayed here another week he would have hit the sawdust trail as sure as shootin', and some of the nest corn flicker he's made in twelve months would have been a total loss."
