RADICAL
THE DEARS IN THE WHEAT
:t I' N as-ui!ly s.nl to con
Sj t.'iv.j.l.ito the loni: list of
da';itu!tii in front of the
AmiTican wheat market as
viewed t'V the bearish side of
tlie K'amo.
Presort prices in the north
west are far below the Liver
pool quotations, even when all
possible shipping costs are con
sidered. Northwest prices are
below the Winnipeg prices at
a time when daily stories are
published to the effect Eng
land will buy Canadian wheat
because American wheat is too
hiirh.
In fact the present north
west market is about what
could be expected in normal
times. It is not in keeping
with present war conditions at
all. Yet every day a fresh
reason is given why wheat is
scarcely worth the powder it
would take to blow it up and
the future is pictured in gloomy
colors for the farmers.
Is this genuine stuff they
are telling our growers or are
some people arranging the
stage with a view to doing
seme heavy buving in the near
future?
It will be interesting to see
the outcome.
NO ROOM FOR HIM
ftp HERE are indeed signs of
radicalism in connection
with the coming confer
ence over the Oregon-Washington
land grant
The sub-committee on rules
seems to be arranging the en
tire performance in advance of
the session. This committee
takes upon itself to say who
shall; speak and by the invita
tional power controls what is
to be said. It is making careful
preparations to the end noth
ing shall interfere with the pre
arranged program.
This is a radical line of ac
tion. ' The conference is sup
posed to be called to discuss
freely and openly how the best
interests of the state may be
served in connection with the
land grant.
But appearances indicate it
may not be a real conference
at all but a carnival of the
steam roller, with an unseen
power directing the machine
when to puff, when to whistle
and when to ramble.
The radicalism in connection
with this coming conference
appear similar to the radical
ism that drove through the
"midnight resolution" under
mining the interests of the
state for the benefit of the
railroad.
It will be well for people to
watch the land grant confer
ence and the methods used in
formulating its recommenda
tions. VERY POOR BUSINESS
j0 man has ever been
JTJ known to get rich
through saving money
by riding the brake rods in
stead of paying his fare on a
train. It is one oft'.ie poorest

The boy who travels that
way risks- losing too rmirh to
save too little, rn Roy Tillman
now realizes. The better the
boy the prcater the risk be
cause he will have more to
lose and will know less about
the fame.
Any man that ha? to travel
can afford to pay his fare. It
means but a few davs extra
work at the most and then he
can travel in safety and de
cency, lie runs no chance of
being maimed or killed and
buried as an unknown hobo.

wanted there are better ways
of getting it. Join the navy,

President Wilson called leaders
the Senate and House for the most
important conference on prepared

ministration. Out of it will directly
grow, it is stated, a policy to be fol

committee on naval affairs, when
he was invited to take part:
"The purpose of the conference is
the begining of the formulation of
definite measures and plans to be
placed before congress at its coming

aroused in favor of preparedness for

that every man at the conference
