Now we have the “pay-as-you-enter” cafe. re isa imple idea of securing sustenance at a rea- Rene chan The originator of the plan, which is co-operative, seems to have made a success of it in the city where first launched—San Francisco. At breakfast time you go through a turnstile and deposit fifteen cents with the cashier. This entitles) ; you ¢o all you want to eat. The grub is spread out | before you on a big counter. All you are asked to do is not to take more than you can eat. Rather re- turn for a second helping. At lunch and dinner the performance is repeated but the charge is twenty cents. Thus an individual's board is reduced to the modest sum of fifty-five cents a day. Now if some equally enterprising gentleman will devise some lodging plan along the bay where the air is good and the water is cheap the high cost will not be so hich and one more attraction will be added to the California prospectus to back up the stock attrac- tions of climate, flowers, earthquakes and Hollywood. aes AN ILLUSTRIOUS BOOTLEGGER. The amalgamated association of rum runners, hooch hounds, moon merchants and bootleg benefactors are pointing with pride to the historical fact that the late} John Hancock of Massachusetts was on one occasion| arrested and indicted under the law for importing sur- reptitiously a cargo of wine from Madeira. The en- forcing officers, then as now, were not vigilant for| Jobn was not brought to trial although the evidence cwas in the hands of the authorities. The sentiment of the Massachusetts people has not grown in strength against the possession of private stock with all of the changes that have taken place’ in their history. John suffered no demotion in the social scale on ac- count of having been concerned in a forbidden prac- tice, but continued to enjoy the confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens and was selected to sign the great charter of our liberties on behalf of the Massa- chusetts colony. You may recall, if yau are as fa- miliar with that noble document as you should be, that Mr. Hancock signed his name in a bold beautiful- ly formed chirography that revealed not the slightest hesitation or trepidation. He remarked at the time that it was a signature George the Third could read without his spectacles. Bootleggers of this day point with great pride to ‘ohn’s signature, the best and boldest on the Declara- tion as evidence of the steady nerve of a man who took a drink, and even then had a bootlegging charge hang- ing over his head. That John was enthusiastically for the Declaration and signed it with a willingness no one could deny, is} pointed to by the present day fraternity as evidence of his whole-heartedness for liberty of all kinds, even| the personal liberty to which they are devoted and de-| sire the whole world to share. ay NO. THEY CANNOT FORGET. All the Democratic papers of the state having a couple of columns of space not otherwise occupied have been running an article entitled, “A Man They Cannot Forget.” The person so fastened upon the public memory, the article reveals, is Woodrow Wil- son. It is taken from Collier’s Weekly and written by some such Wilson fan as David Lawrence. It tells how on Sundays and holidays people go to the neigh-| borhood of the Wilson home in Washington and “stand together in groups and speak in hushed tones.” re taxpayers consulting together and devis- ministration. Again “they see in Woodrow Wilson the man that called into service the boy they loved.” Sure he did, called him into the service with such a cheerful mes- sage as “the Americsn people are too proud to fight,” after refusing to prepare for a war he knew was in- evitable. Yes cheered him on with such bunk as “he kept us out of war” and other bull of a period that brings the blush of shame to every lover of the flag and every believer in American institutions, “People are thinking of his work in that after war period, that terrible period we speak of as reconstruc- tion,” s the article. We'll they are. They are thinking long and earnestly. They are thinking solemnly of the visit of Woodrow Wilson to Paris. An excursion that could only be likened unto King Solomon faring forth to a jazz party with the expectation of meeting the Queen of Sheba, Cleopatra and all the prize steppers of all the periods, of all the powers and principalities of! earth.

Tt has been known since last summer that the world’s supply and consumption of wheat would be closely balanced for this crop year, much depending | upon the crops in the Southern hemisphere. The early | reports as to the crops of Argentina and Australia were of large yields and the Canadian crop was esti- | mated to be considerably above that of 1920. Con- | fidence in wheat, among both producers and specula- | tors, had been weakened by the great decline of the | previous year, with the result that the farmers mar- heted the crop rapidly and as stocks in sight increased there was not courage enough in the markets to take the offerings without price declines. The farmers suf- fered from a lack of speculative buying. More buy- crs were needed who had fhith in wheat. It will be remembered that about that time the so-called farm- ers’ bloc in congress was hot on the trafl of the specu- lator, and has been claiming credit for enacting a law to curtail his operations. Of course it cannot be posi- tively said that wheat would have been higher but for this act, but if it interfered with the freedom of the marzets, it was bound to be detrimental, and it is cer~ tain that wheat suffered last fall from a lack of specu- lative buying. The low price on the crop was made November 1, when December wheat sold in Chicago at $1.01 and the May delivery at $1.02%. As the harvest and threshing proceeded in Argen- tina and Australia, it developed that in neither country | would the yield come up ¢o the early reports, and the firal official report on the Canadian crop placed it 80,- 060,000 bushels below the estimates current in the! fall. The reduction in Canada, however, was more than offset by an increase in the official estimate for the United States. By the middle of January the May price had risen to about $1.12, and by the end of the month to about $1.18. Unfavorable reports on the condition of the fall sown crop in the southwest had become a factor, and so also the Warren: report on| probable European needs, which was quickly verified | by increased European purchases. Under the influ- ence of these developments the market became very | active in February and advanced rapidly, the May de-| livery in Chicago, reaching $1.47, from which it re- acted a few cents on rains over the southwest, where drought has prevailed. | From this time on the market will be much influ-| enced by the crop prospects in this country. Kansas| is the biggest producer of winter wheat, and in that state and the adjoiniing southwest the crop failed to get moisture enough in the fall to give a good start, and has had very little of either snow or rain since. Crop experts have been predicting a heavy abandon- ment of acreage. This situation supports the view that so long as Rus- sia is not an exporter, the world’s supply and demand| will be closely balanced when the wheat crop is gen-| erally good, and that a short crop with any important producer is likely to send prices skyward. 0 SAYS IT WITH THREATS. Hanford MacNider, commander of the American Le- gion, if he speaks for his fellow veterans, at one stroke has destroyed the pride of the nation in that organization and brought it to the level of a bulldozing railroad brotherhood which took advantage of its coun- try’s war crisis to demand an advance in wages out of proportion to its earning power and so clearly at va- mance with any claims of just reward for services ren- dered as to give to it the color of graft. MacNider has demanded of the president of the United States, chosen by the whole people to execute their will and of the congress of the people express- ly elected to make the laws of the land, that they must pass the bonus bill without further delay. He says this demand is presented in the name of five million ex-soldiers which is five times the number), of legion membership, and twenty million dependents, who have no real existence as such. “ It is the power alleged to support the command and not its justice that Mr. MacNider emphasizes. In his assumed importance Mr. MacNider fails to mention the nation’s obligation to the disabled soldiers which has been met with liberality and promptness to an amount. exceeding a billion and a half dollars and to the furth- er extent of a half billion dollars annually. The American people meet their just obligations to! the men who defend their country in time of war all they will not be intimidated or accept orders to do a specific thing for a special interest, be it a group of former soldiers, labor unions, manufacturing associa-) tions, banking alliances or what not. No special inter- est, whatever its real or alleged power is big enough or important enough to figuratively place a pistol at demand that they stand and deliver the people’s money from the treasury upon any account. That is exact- ly what the MacNider demand amounts to in the last analysis. ‘The commander, in his zeal, has gone too far. It is not believed that he represents the honest, sincere, pa- triotic sentiments of the great majority of members of the legion. ‘ If President Harding and congress bow to any such demand as MacNider’s they will no more be entitled to the confidence of the American people than’ was the Wilson regime that surrendered to the railroad broth- ethoods in the passage of the Adamson act. The bonus act deserves now to fail and deserves, such fate because of MacNider’s action. ] a eens A HELLUVAPASS. “Of course things have come to a_helluvapass,” wails the Courier-Journal, “‘when Chicago school boys and school girls indulge in the cardinal vices and when investigation of their after-school hours diversion re- veals smoking, drinking, cabaret going, limousine driv- ing and visits to flats rented and maintained, by school boys, as terminal facilities. “Nevertheless and notwithstanding matters are not as bad as they might-be. The investigators declare | that only five per cent of the school children are guilty of what Shakespeare termed ‘mych misgovernment.’ The investigators find that the Chicago school boy who is a rounder at fifteen, remains exceptional. “The school girl who is a painting, powdering, roys- tering, road housc frequenter, jazz music devotee and | guest at apartment parties where chaperones are not admitted, is the product of houses that are not in | order. | “The girl and the boy | negligent parents. “Negligent parents include, of course, cabaret go- ing papas and flapper mammas. “When—in days of old—the masculine head of the mily was alone in his indiscretions, or iniquities; when his wife was exemplary, and out of sympathy with his conduct of life, there was a restraining moral But when mamma’s skirts are when mamma’s hip flask is one a luxurious life; when mamma’s are the children, mainly, of e old man’s; when mamma’s love | ninety-five in one hundred homes, in Chicago, haven’t | flapper mammas under the roof tree the American home is not—-yet—decadent, American youth is not —ryet—doomed, or deserving of being damned. “Maybe there will be a spiritual awakening—of pa- And in America far less than five + ger cent of school children are debauched,” Her cyes were bright, with the cour- Is one of God's own very best, Because she's a Wyoming mother.
