THE WHEAT LIMIT
With the May option on stand
ard wheat at about $1.50 a
bushel on the Chicago market, the
question where tha limit of the
price of wheat is to be reached
becomes of urgent and vital impor
tance to millions of Americans. It
carries the cost of bread far above
its usual level. It affects the J>a3is
on which many Industries and
forms af commerce rest
Beyond quest ion there is a lim
it. The point must be near at
which the consumption of wheat
wtll be cut down sufficiently to
bring the demand down to the sup
ply. or below it. Large numbers of
consumers will use some substitute
for wheat flour. They will do this
because the cost of wheat bread
will be too great to pay.
That this can be done is certain.
There are important civilized coun
tries in which comparatively little
wheat Is eaten in any form. In
some rye is the usual substitute. In
others it is rice. Barley can serve
much the same purpose. Potatoes
and other vegetables may be made
to take the place of a good deal of
wheat flour.
For these reasons it is impossi
ble to carry the price of wheat
beyond a certain point and keep it
there. The Question is where that
point is and how near it is today.
As to this opinions differ sharply,
but the chances are that it is not
far away, if it has not been re
corded already la the market quo
tations.
As a general law of trade, the
cost of a great staple produced in
many parts of the world, cannot
long be kept as far above the av
erage price for a long term of years
as w lieai stands aow. And in the
end It is hazardous to count upon
the failure of a general law of
t rade.
A JUDGE'S WARNING
Cleveland Leader: Will the work
house parole board heed the warnin
flag that has been raised by one
of the judges of the municipal
court?
Judge Kramer has taken steps
to have placed before it the record
in the cases of two prisoners at
the Warrensville farm who are ap
plicants for pardon, only two weeks
after they were sent there. These
two men are gas well drillers who
enticed two girls to leave their
homes in Pennsylvania and accom
pany them to this city upon prom
ises of marriage which they did
not fulfill.
The mere fact that Jugde Kramer
took this action proves that he
feared their application would be
granted—and with little or no in
vestigation Into the merits of the
cases. And euch a practical form
of protest, coming from a judge
sitting In a court avowedly com
mitted to the policy of giving the
man who is down an opportunity
to get upon his feet again, is deep
ly significant.
Evidently it is apparent to Judge
Kramer, as it is to most other
thinking men and women who are
alive to what Is going on in the
world, that the extending of mercy
to law-breakere and criminals in
the hope of regenerating them is
being carried to a dangerous ex
treme. There Is no logical out
come for the excusing of crime, or
any form of lawlessness, on purely
sentimental grounds, but the'
treaking down of the safeguards
erected for the protection of the
public. Governor Col© Blease has
done much toward bringing that
result upon South Carolina.
The prison and criminal reform
er who is unable to perceive where
common sense ends and foolhardi
aess begins, hurts his own cause
and is likely to »«t humanity back
instead of advancing It. For pub
lic sentiment, carried to any ex
treme, inevitably reacts and swings
toward the opposite extreme. Un
warranted leniency toward evil
doers is sure to bring back, for a
time at least, some of the old-time
harshness of punishment.
Even if we have a cold storage
j navy, why worry? It may prove
: to be as strong as cold storage
, butter.
The weather man is safe in pre
dicting a cold wave. Nobody cen
sures him if it doesn't come.
Now we know why Philadelphia
called Rev. Billy Sunday in. He
: has proclaimed to the world that
j it is going too fast.
American ships showed little in
clination to navigate the North Sea
in time of peace, but now that it
is covered with floating mines and
warships, most of them want to
go there.
Few, if any, of Uncle Sam's sub
marines are fit for war service.
Probably they have been stationed
at the political navy yards.
One may well guess as to what
would become of the war in Mexi
co if the soldiers ha dto dig en
trenchments.
One form of production is sure
to boom this year—the making of
history.
Being so purely precautionary. It
seems a little odd that Germany's
corner on grain was not resorted
to some months previously.
Naturally the formal opening of
tixe Panama canal would not be a
complete sucsess if the canal hap
pened to be closed at the time.
Still, the poor working girl who
finds living expenses a burden is
not entirely without company in
that experience.
There would have been less oc
casion for surprise if the Chicago
social worker had said crowded
street cars promoted profanity.

muff from a baby buggy at the
foot of the stairs leading to Dr.
Gabie's office, please return to Al
