years of age and loved by every one. only

preme Court has decided that such boycott Is
violation of the Sherman antitrust law, and
this proposal is an attempt to withhold the means
of prosecuting that law when it is violated by a
particular class thus to be privileged, and
states that, were the proposal to amend the law,
ii would be entitled to consideration, but that 1t
is indefensbe to leave the law as it Is and then
seek to make its application partial He says;
THE laboring man and the trades
unionist. if ] understand him, asks
only equality before the law. Glass
legislation and unequal privilege,
hough expressly in his favor, will in
the end work no benefit to him or to
society
In this the President is not only eternally
right, bu unless we greatly mistake the temper
of the people he will be accorded general support
in the expression of views so sound and sane.
The only rcgrettablc circumstance is that, IN
this instance, ii was the solid vote of the Dem
ocratic contingent in the House which by com
bination with the more reckless Insurgents left
it to the President to apply this Democratic
doctrine to socialistic proposition. As we
have before pointed out. it is as foolish to seek
votes by catering with the bait of special priv
;legc to class of citizens as it is to expect such
class, if its support Is worth having, to be
responsive to the bride of demagoguery implied
by the tender.

The farmer leads merry life
He has not much to do.
But just to raise few pork chops,

And II he wants a motor car,
To save his lazy legs.
Then all that's requisite Is just
To raise the price of eggs.

And his wife can dress In silk.

And for him the Jerseys moo;

And be q farmer, too.

Another feature, in connection with

which speculative Wall Street does
not appear to grasp, is the broad
significance Of the measure. This

During the last six months twenty
six railroad companies have marketed
an aggregate Of nearly S470,O00ooO Of
bonds and stocks, and this, too, at a
time when Congress and the Admins
tration were engaged in placing on rec
ord most stringent laws and regulations
against the methods long in vogue and
powers long considered absolutely the
right Of the roads
Moreover. these placements were made
at q time when railroad stocks and
bonds were weak and gradually drop

The Crop Scare.

It is, of course. entirely too early to
determine to what extent spring wheat
and corn has been injured by the long
continued drought and the tOrrid wealth
er reported throughout a wide area
Of Western territory. 1t is deVOutly
TO be hoped that the injury is not very
extensive, for if there ever was a time
that the country stood in need of abund-
ant harvests it is now, in consequence
of the very unsatisfactory international
trade balance, ard the urgent necessity
of getting commodity prices down to a
basis where the country can again ex-
port freely. A crop shortage is always
an unfortunate event for this country.
This year one would fall little short
of disaster, not only for the reason
above cited, but also IN view Of the
tremendous expansion Of Western bank
loans, which good crops would help
liquidate, and the burdensome cost of
living which good crops would doubt
less mitigate TO some extent
It is really very early as yet for any
very serious injury to have befai;en
the harvestS. June is rarely a deter
mining month in crop matters. Nat
uralIy a poor start, or an early check
TO growth adds cOnSidera bic uncer-
tainty to the harvest outcome, but with
favorable weather conditions much of
the injury reported to the crops at a
date as early as this may be overcome.
It would be a different matter if the
condition of drought and blasting heat
fell, say six or eight weeks later. It is
not well 10 lose sight OF the fact either
that a very considerable part of the
advance In wheat prices is the result
not of adverse crop weather, but of
aggressive speculative operations in
cereals. A dull stock market has nat
uraI tendency to drive the chronic
gamblers, the men who must be play
ing some game all the time, into the
grain and cotton markets, where at the
present time they get quicker action.

INDIAN JEWELRY
 GRADUATION GIFTS
The Great Profusion of Navajo Silver
 Work at Balke's Big Curio Store.

Now, speaking of graduation gifts again, the genuine Navajo jewelry at Balke's Big Curio store suggests itself. IL is exceptionally appropriate for a gift to be sent away to friend in an other part of the country. It is unique and is more and more sought after by young people who want something made by the Indians. Those articles which have been worn by the Indians are more desired. The fact adds to the sentimental value of the article.
 This kind of jewelry is found at the Big Curio store in great volume and variety. It is safe to say that there is more genuine old Indian jewelry there than could be found in all the other curio stores in the United states.
 People who are shown the stock eX- press their amaZement at the profu- sion of it. There is not only what can be seen in the show cases, but a great reserve supply of it, for the Big Curio store is constantly on the look out for it as it is not easily obtained. There is no market where 1t can be purchased. The proprietor is obliged to buy it whenever he can.
 This old jewelry is something that the customer can dispose of whenever he wishes. The Big Curio store, con fident that its value will increase makes an offer to take it back at any time for its full value in coin silver.
 In the stock. there are gifts suitable for all some of which may mentioned as follows: For the girls, Indian brace lets. belt pins, hat pins: for the young men, rings, pendents, watch fobs and scarf pins.
