BUSINESS WILL BE STIPULATED.

! What is going to be the effect OF
the war upon business in the United
States? The immediate panic has
subsidized. Emergency currency en-
abled the banks of the country to With
stand the first shock and currency
Withdrawals have now subsidized 10 nor
maj conditions. Interest rates are
abnormauy high because the big banks
are compelled to charge seven per
cent when emergency currency costs
them that rate and the country banks
think I and even per cent looks
cheap when ers.whle Az and 3
per cent paper has TO sell in Chicago
al / per cent rate. Money is not
worth any more in the agricultural dis
tricts than it was but the loaners
charge more because the big banks do.
These conditions will right themselves
partially when the emergency currency
gets back and is cancelled.
The war is bound to make a period of
tight money and high interest rates all
lover this country for several years to
come. Even the Balkan war was felt
in he money markets of this country
and this war is infinitely worse in it's
destructive influence. Tight money
will inevitably curtail industrial ex-
pansion and curb land specula ton.
The process of liquidation and con-
servatism will go on turnout the bust
ness world because the whole world
will be busy creating the wealth
which viii be required to fill up the
hole dug by war instead of piling up a
surplus TO seek new investments
Immediately, however, the things
which this country has to sell will find
prices stimulated. There ought to be
! a temporary flush to business while
! the effects of the war stimulant is on.
Collections should be good this fall and
winter and business should be active.
a succession of bumper crops would
go long way toward counteracting the
reaction which is bound to come a
year from now when the wave Of dis
j turbed finance reaches US. New mar
kets can only set US ahead when we
/ haye regained all of our old markets
and that can not be until the world
has had years Of time in which to
repair the damages of war.
There is no occasion for alarm
among business men just now but
there is every reason for conservatism
as to the first few years of the i'm
mediate future

THE WAY OUT OF THE BLIND ALLEY.

Mr.. Roosevelt appears to be some
what unfortunate in his Endorsement
of candidates. Not 10 mention the
most celebrated instance his recent
Withdrawal Of his Endorsement of Hin
mans candidacy for governor of New
been other instances of Endorsements
furnished minor candidates but those
are another story and let it rest at
that. Altogether Theodore seems to
have been pretty often mistaken in his
estimate OF the men and what might
be expected of them.
Mr. Roosevelt is in a peculiar po-
sition. Probably he remains still the
most influential private citizen of the
country but he Is also in position
that goes far towards multiplying that
influence. Granted that his intentions
and purposes are good he has run his
political influence into a blind alley.
1t is no thoroughfare. Influential in a
general way he remains and will al
ways remain but politically his OPP
portunity for leadership and ability to
attain results are largely embarrassed
as national force.
1t is time for Mr.. Roosevelt to realize
as much. The party which crystalliZed
about him in the last presidential cam
paign has lost out. In localities it re-
tains form and some substance but ma
tionally it is a fifth wheel to the po-
litical wagon. 1t sprang up like the
scriptural gourd in a night and has
withered almost as rapidly. 1t is a
dull tool to work with. Roosevelt can
not accomplish with it what he set out
to do. 1t was a protest rather than a
movement, an effective protest, but
merely protest nevertheless. 1t will
have its influence on the political fu-
ture of the political campaigns. Grant
everything to 1t that is good the fact
remains that the place for Roosevelt
and other men of fine purpose and in
| fluence who followed him to accom-
| plish their sincere purposes is in the
republican party.
Times have changed. Roosevelt needs
the republican party today more than
the party needs Roosevelt That is
true of all the Rooseveltians as it is OF
their leader. Not that the republicans
need them less but that they need tbs

HARRISON FARMERS, cLuBs

lSouncil Bluffs NOnpareiI1
harrison county farmers have hit
upon very practical idea in the for
nation of their farmers clubs.
Ihese clubs are restricted to tewlve
families. This makes a very conven-
lent group In size and confines it large
~ to an immediate neighborhood.
some times to a single school district
Inc advantages of this plan are nu-
merous The distance between the
homes OF the members is not SO great
as 10 De saeo.:enisnt. The monthly
assemblies are not so large as to be
cumbersome. The limited number In
the clubs practically compels all mem
bers to assist in providing parts
on the programs. The diffident ones
are not allowed to play the role Of i'm
nocent bystanders as would be the
case where the membership was
larger. They must get into the
games" The forward ones are not al
lowed to monopolize all the time to
the detriment of themselves as well as
those who have natural inclination ia
hold back In work OF this kind.
The success Of these Harrison county
clubs ought to encourage the organi.
cation Of others. There is no reason
why every farmer in Iowa should no,
belong to club OF this character. Life
Is a school. Events are educators

rNeyada Renresentatiye. I

Nevada Representative.
President Wilson has definitely de-
clared his purpose to elevate Attorney
General McReynolds to the place on
the supreme court recently made va
cant by the death of Justice Lurton,
and the matter appears to be hanging
fire only in order that it may be ascer-
tanned that the nomination viii be con-
firmed by the senate. Upon this basis
the matter ought to be allowed to rest
for long time Since the president
was turned down on his proposition to
make one Of the directors of the Inter-
national Harvester trust member of
the federal reserve board there has
been the possibility of a little more in
dependence in the senate than has
heretofore ben discoverable in that
body and there are indications that
there may be enough of independence
there now to block the way of Mercy
nolds. The attorney general Is the Of
fetal who undertook on grounds Of
personal political favor to side track
the prosecution of Diggs and Caninetti
in the first Of the conspicuous white
slave" cases out at San Francisco, and
nothing that has happened since has
been Of such weight or nature as to re-
move the strong impression that he Is
an unfit man for any such honor as the
president would now bestow upon him.
1t may be further observed that Nc
Reynolds tries to pass himself off as a
Tennessean, altho in fact a New York
er with corporation alliances such as
would be expected of successful Wall
street lawyer, and to appoint such a
man admittedly as New Yorker
would be much less Objectionable than
to present him under bogus colors.
