Would Yield No Rights
We can do vastly more to perfect

arrogate to ourselves the right to say
to the world we dictate, but never
comply. 1 would yield none of our
rights, none of our nationality, but
would gladly give of our influence
and cooperation to move forward
and upward toward world peace and
that reign of justice which Is infin-
itely more secure in the rule Of ma
tional honor than in national or in
ternational force.
/ would not have 1t thought that
hold this question paramount to all
others confronting our government.
| do not hold 1t a menace to the
unity of any political party. II is
not to be classed al q party ques-
ton, but if any party, repeatedly adj
vocatins a world court, Is to be
rended by the suggestion OF an eff
fort to perform in accordance with
its pledges. It needs q new appraisal
of it's assets.
Our problems at home invariably
call for first consideration. / lave
little patience with the contention
of those who believe large CONNER
cial advantages will attend u larg-
err assumption of world responsible
ity. Nations are not engaged in bar
tering their trade advantages for
larger fel1owships. Commerce is the
very life blood of every peoples ex-
istence, and a nations commercial
opportunities are valued little less
than the security of its citizenship.
A restored Europe, with less con"
sumption in conflict and more pro-
duction and consumption in hope
full peace and banished hate, would
add to the volume OF world COM
merce. We would gladly acclaim
such q restoration. Our influence
and helpfulness are ready when they
will avail but we cannot ntrude
where we ourselves would resist in
trusion.
Our position commercially is gain
ing In strength, because we are free
from. political entangIements, and
can be charged with no selfish Q
signs. The nation which grants JUS
tice may confidently ask it, and the
world-social. political or CONNER

through association or judgment OF

z MEN COOKED
OWN SUPPERs
Wives Were on Jury That Dis
agreed After Case in Local
District Court

Some harsh words were spoken in
I~connection with woman suffrage last
night at the city hall. when two wo-
men, drawn to serve on q jury In
the district court, failed to appear at
their homes in time for dinner and
their husbands came to get them.
They did not accompany their hus-
band home however, as they were
confined in the jury room discussing
La case which resulted in a disagr g.
ment, when the jury reported at
$3.50 O'Clock.
The case went to trial late in the
afternoon and was presented TO the
jury consisting Of ten men Two
women about 6 o'clock. The jury
then filed into the jury room and
the discussion of the case began.
Vote after vote was taken, It Is said,
but no agreement could be cached
and at $3.50 they were excused from
duty.
The case which the jury was asked
to decide was that in connection with
d-ispossess proceedings brought by
Herman Ellis against the Perth AM
boy Iron and Metal Company. Thon-
as Brown represented the defend
ants and H. K. Golenbock. of the
firm OF Wight, Wight and Golenbock,
the plaintiff.
This case was tried sometime age
and a verdict rendered in favor OF
the plaintiff. This verdict was later
set aside by Supreme Court Justice
James J.. Bergen, who ordered q
new trial. Ellis desired ~possessionE
Of the property on the grounds that
the lease had expired, while the
Perth Amboy Metal e Iron Com
pany claimed that prior to the ex-
piration of the lease Ellis entered
into a verbal agreement with tbs
firm in which he extended the lease
for a few months. or at least until
the company had an opportunity to
emove some $4,000 worth OF per-
sonal property.

the most fascinating animal pic
ture he has ever seen. 1t Is Z
citing and humorous. In spots II
is very beautiful. It has no plot.
purporting only to be the result OF
an expedition to the Dark Conti-

we are not at an sure that 1t doesn't
overtop any picture ever shown

Certainly in respect to humor
this master film stands nearly alone.
There Is nothing in the films at
present half so funny as the sight OF
the expeditions fiivver gaily pur-
suing a herd OF galioping giraffes
across African plains.
Then take the acting. There is

Uneasiness regarding indications Of
delay to spring wheat seeding tended
to bring about higher prices in the
wheat market today. Closing quota
lions We're firm at net advance of
to l.. cent, with May 1l9a to 119s and
II. oats to lQs, and provisions 120
10 to 20.
Reasons for apprehension as to the
outlook for spring wheat seeding were
said to be furnished by low tempera-
lures northwest and by prediction of
continued cold in that section. 1t was
said also that less than the usual
amount of summer following and au-
tumn blowing in the spring wheat
states rad been accomplished. and that
scarcity of labor made any threat of
seeding delay a serious matter. Aside
from prospective seeding difficulties.
too, the general trade was from the
outset inclined to look, for an upward
swing in prices, the market having
been on decline continuously for
three days, and a dearth of offerings
being evident except at a material ad
vance.
Word that export business in wheat
was fairly brisk and that Italy was in
the market for durum hlped to lift
values. Furthermore, some buying of
future deliveries here was said to be
against good sized order from Greece.
On the other hand, little notice was
taken of sales of wheat to go into
storage here or of buying of wheat to
be brought to Chicago. Favorable crop
reports from the winter wheat territ-
ry were likewise almost ignored
Better shipping demand here for
corn. together with talf Of late
spring, gave Independent strength to
prices of corn and oats.
PROVISIONS were responsive to up
turns in the values of hogs and grain.

Trading in railroad shares was rcia
lively quiet and irregular. the changes
for the most part being OF fractional

Call money opened at 81 per cent. and
advanced to 8 in the last hour. The
high rate was attributed to the with
drawal of funds from this center by in
terror banks incidental to the first quar-
tcrly settlements. The time money
