best way to gain control is to get an

THE MARKETS
( Z 80 #**** Y \ 4 : 4 < < J

There is a general upward tendency
in the market. Onions are now quoted
at $1.50, an advance of 25 cents over
yesterday, and potatoes have climbed to
the 81 mark. Eastern buyers are after
the onions, and California is after the
potatoes Then the cold weather has had
something to do with the higher prices
of potatoes as farmers are not bringing
them in, many refusing to open their
pits with the cold weather prevailing.
Club wheat is quoted at 9S cents in
Portland, but this is for strictly high
grade milling wheat, sacked. Valley
quotations are for wheat not sacked,
and not Of the fancy milling quality.
Wheat in this valley is mixed with
vetch, and this takes off about four
cents a bushel. Strictly fancy milling
wheat would bring. SO cents net, but
there is little wheat that would grade
strictly milling on account of the vetch
With the freight and sack charges, for
strictly milling wheat there is about 10
cents difference between Salem and
Portland prices.

cause of the difficulty of maintaining
them. They may have slight temporary
effects, but these soon pass. The diff
Guilty about them is that the people must
have food and find it hard to change
their habits. while the wholesale dealers
in food commodities are favored with
storage facilities that enable them to
wait for the passing of the storm of
public indignation and the almost in
evitable weakening of the resolve to do
without certain articles.
Food storage to affect prices is crime
against the people and should be with
in reach of the law. In Chicago a man
boasts of having veritable corner on
eggs. The Department of Justice, it is
reported. is moving to reach him under
the antitrust law But the processes of
prosecution are slow, and the public
needs eggs steadily. There should be
some speedy method to effect disgorge-
ment of supplies thus stored for the
purpose of affecting prices. Turkeys
depend for their market largely upon
occasions. such as Thanksgiving, but
eggs know no calendar, and the statutes
and the process of enforcement should
be effective to strike quickly to make
artificial food cost stimulation impos-
siblc.

Economic Problems.

Did not Mr.. Bryan take leave of
economic problems prematurely9 And
may he not reconsider his decision?
Government ownership and operation
of railroads did not as proposition
originate with him. Talk on the subject
of desultory kind had been cireulat-
ing for some years. But when in the
early part of 1905 he publicly declared
for the policy it received for a brief
season more attention than ever before.
He did not pursue the subject because
another nomination to the presidency,
and the responses to his declaration
were not assuring.
Now, however, the subject is under
wide discussion. The eight hour law is
developing views of politicians, legis-
lators, capitalists and wageearners, and
in the coming discussions in this Con-
gress, and maybe in the next, the rail-
roads and their future will be a promi-
nent theme.
Taking over the railroads by the
government would be very large order,
and full of difficulties. This fact is not
blinked even by those who favor the
proposition. BY those who oppose, it is
expressed in terms of grave warning.
As the opponents see the matter, other
properties now under private ownership
would inevitably follow into the govern
ment's sack, and far-reaching state
socialism be inaugurated.
The great war has given new turn
to many things in the countries en-
gagged, and some of the changes are
thought to have a bearing on US. Peace
when it comes will not restore the old
order anywhere. The new order may
not keep its present shape, but the resto
ration of the old is impossible.
1t is the recognition of this truth
which gives to every proposition for a
change in our national policies an in
terest out of the ordinary, and is Sc
curing for all investigations of such
propositions very earnest attention.
What can be done, and what should be
done, are questions on many lips, and
occupying many thoughts.
Hence the temptation for Mr. Bryan
to reapportion his time, and give some of
it again to economic problems. They
are here for settlement, and as pressing
as prohibition or any other moral prob
lem. The best minds in the country
are engaged on them, and the oppor-
tunities for public service as great as
have ever been offered The campaign
of 1920 may be pitched in a measure on
some questions now on the cards.

White House. Still, it remains the lead

White House. Still, it remains the lead
ing democratic organization in New
York, and as such aspires to name the
next mayor of the big town. 1t faces
a coalition movement. To win it must
name its strongest man-one strong
enough to draw votes from outside the
organization. Its chances would be
greatly improved if it could make a
nomination acceptable to the President
and his friends.
Thus comes to be mentioned the name
of Mr.. Gerard. Would he answer!
Would he accept the nomination? New
York went republican as decidedly this
year as last Hence Mr.. Gerard, putting
out his head again. would be taking 4
chance at getting another rap.
The suggestion, but recently made,
will probably simmer for awhile. The
nomination is not due until September.
Meanwhile. Mr.. Gerard will have oppor
tunity to gather additional laurels in
his present post. and grow stronger in
the favor of the administration, and the
situation i'll New York may he expected
to show new and important develop
ments.

Ambassador Gerard.

Mr.. Gerard leaves in few DAYS for
his post at Berlin. He is probably in
comfortable frame of mind. His chief
approves of his official course, and his
old friends at home without regard to
party have congratulated him on his
success in diplomacy. The well done
spoken has had a genuine ring to it.
In the gossip about probable changes
after March diplomatic posts have fig
ured. 1t has been said that Mr. Wilson
would 90 through the list of the more
important places, and either strengthen
his administration by making few new
appointments, or by shifting a few men
now in commission No names have
been mentioned.
This gossip would appear unlikely to
apply to Mr.. Gerard. Not only has his
success been signal, but his place re-
mains important. At Berlin, London,
Paris, Vienna, Petrograd, Rome and
Constantinople business is abundant and
pressing, and will remain so for some
time. The war proceeds, and the trained
and capable hand has become neces-
sary. Mr.. Gerard has been at the helm
in Berlin for over three and O half
years, for more than two years Of which
time the work at the German capital
has been most exacting and difficult.
He sought change last year. but was
denied He offered for the Senate, but
the voters in New York chose Mr.. Wads
worth. Will he try his fortunes again

Turkey Prices.

That prices of turkeys for Thanksgiv-
proved conclusively in several cities yes
terday, when the rates for the fowl,
after standing at extortionate figures,
with rising tendency, dropped sharply
when the demand fell off in consequence
of the refusal of the public to buy.
The dealers in some places were in a
panic and sold at very low rates. They
feared to be caught with heavy stocks
on their hands, and cut their prices to
men were victims of others, who had
boosted the prices at wholesale. In
others they were themselves at fault,
adding to the rates on their own initia-
tive to wrest larger profits out Of sup
posedly assured market.
The demonstration of the possibility
of public compulsion Of lowering Of
rates is valuable. This was no organ
lied boycott. It was not started as a
reprisal or a means to force down the
price. It was spontaneous public
declination to accept tho products at the
rates charged because of q widespread
belief that they were extortionate. Tur-
keys are not essential, even to Thanks
giving, however traditional. Life can
be supported without them, and substi-
tutes for them are available to give the
day its festal character.
Food boycotts are seldom effective, be-

Thanksgiving.

A moments pause amid the stress and
strife,
To Hook upon the gentler side of life
A moment for the simple cheer that
lends
New meaning to such words as "homen
and friends"
AS We forget the conflict and the stress
Envy and Hate reveal their littleness
And Faith stands forth anew mid Ioftier
things
Than the fierce rivalries of courts and
kings.
With Faith comes Hope, unfaltering and
strong,
Who points the way that may seem dark
and long,
But which must lead the traveller at last
To glories great as glories of the past.
And Charity must lend grace of heart
Unto the moment that is set apart
That we our true and better selves may
know,
Distinct from artifice and empty show.
For these our reverent gratitude as
cends;
Faith, Hope and Charity and Home and
Friends.
