TAFT BALANCE.

Ifr. Taft's usual good taste and (horse-seniM do" tiot seem to have dtm•hed one whit, despite his trials and Tjtrlbulatlons through four years as .president and through one week of the ^Chicago convention. His address at the jjRockvllle chaut&uqua makes it evident ^that, at these affairs, he intends to fUmlt himself, literally, to his text, "My

Experiences While President," and that Ihe does not consider the Chautauqua platform the place whereon to seek to taould or dispose of crucial national issues. Therein .Mr. Ta^t differs from

Mr. Bryart,-*and the contrast is in his favor. rJMh &aft always revealed an acute iensei 'of "propriety. He might Jlave accepted his Chautauqua engagements as occasions on wfiich to criticize President WHsoh, or he might have interpreted his kindly welcome as an Eagerness on thee-part,.of, auditors to hear wha.t hel thought of Mr. RoogfiT velt. Mr. ?Taft "fright Indulge in much: teischief on the' first point, and he could have a lot of rare sport for himself did he accept the latter joust. Did Ithe Taftian sense of propriety prevail more generally in politics it would be wonderfully elevating and, doubtless, add tremendously to the standing and efficiency of the profession.

TO STOP LUMPING.

Edward N. Hurley, as vice chairman of the federal trade commission, and because of his practical business experience, recently was requested by the commission to, suggest plans, for 'helpful activities. One of the plans which he suggested was, to aid' the business men of the country in obtaining the additional credits to which »^eir business 'operations may entitle them. His s^ortd plan was to aid: in establishing a standard system of hook keeping and cost accounting. The two plans are, of course, interdependent, but since the idea of an additional credit system depends largely upon ad-

Uonal legislation, the better bookkeeping system which .Mr. Hurtey suggests is the matter of immediate itjterMt. He'points out that the .Small manufacturer, tife country storekeeper, and the retail merchant as a rule do.not get at the banks ttye credit that'theyy ought to receive owing to the fact that they

are unable to present balance sheets in accordance with good business prao tice. Frequently, a business man, with a credit of a few hundred dollars at his bank, based wholly, on personal grounds, might, if he could produce a reliable balance sheet, readily obtain several thousand dollars, which would enable him to expand his business along sound lines. Mr. Hurley points out that the commission hopes to reach the desired end by putting at the service of the manufacturers and merchants who have not had the experience or advantages that larger firms possess, the accountants, bookeepers and experts in cost of production that are employed by the commission and in that way help to strengthen American— industries where they are weak.

FATHERS' DAY.

Dr. William Brady, writing in the New York-Sun, claims to have it from an authoritative source that a group of capitalists are actually planning to launch a monthly publication to be called "Fatherhood." Conceiving the idea that father has been getting off too easily these many years, while mother has been uplifted and reformed on all sides, some one has inaugurated a propaganda in behalf of father.

It seems he is to have his day. Fathers' day, you know. And fathers' day is nothing but a fulcrum wherewith to launch the new publishing enterprise. We break no confidence when we add that this movement is fathered—no, that doesn't sound just right, we should say mothered—by a \v9man.

Heretofore we have favored the idea of flvotes for women. Our impression has been that they might as well have the ballot, seeing we couldn't do anything with it ourselves. We have inclined to believe that the women could really clean things up if they had a fair chance. But, frankly, we don't like these unpleasant rumors.

Father doesn't need a magazine any more than he needs aigrettes on his hat. The daily paper serves his every want.- Give father a good, lfive paper that prints clean news, interesting articles and editorials give him a suitable chair, a place for his feet, a pipe, plenty of matches and a fleet of ash trays handy„ and father, 1? quite content. v-

Father is not greatly concerned about how things shouldrbe \done. He cares fore to read how things are done. He would be uneasy if he had to thread his devious, way each month through a maze of departments and COsey corners. It would be too much like picking a path from the front door to the back stair's without apy light.'

WHEAT CONTRACTS.

$3$p{ •p'-r-Cancellation of contracts for two million bushels of wheat by representatives of Italian firms in Chicago produced a smashing decline in the pit. The repudiation was by some attributed to Italian inability to pay, but statements issued by export authorities put the matter in a different light. These contracts had been bought at pretty steep prices the Italian government hafe since fixed a maximum figure at which wheat and flour can be sold in Italy. This figure, it is believed, would force the purchaser to take losses if he sold, in that country, for, besides s^Uing for no more than the maximum, a twenty-two per cent discount .in lire in this country would have to be absorbed somewhere along the line. This is the explanation offered and it is plausible. The contract buyer in Chicago will endure the loss and unpleasantness resulting from his abrogation rather than stand greater loss by shipping abroad.

The whole incident goes to demonstrate the soundness of business conditions. Hfeid such a thing occurred a year ago the result probably would have been a demoralization of the market The rebound from Saturday's fluctuations suggests that there are

other "places for American wheat at as Confederates.
