What Il Would Imply.

What would the population OF
Woodrow Wilson Imply?
1. Dissatisfaction with the cur
roncy law. The big bankers don't
like that law because it has deccn-
traligcd money The little bankers
don't like e. because II is gradually
wiping out all Of the profits OF SELL
ing exchange The people do like II.
because It makes the recurrence of
panics impossible and has taken the
financial power OF the nation out of
the hands of Wall street and placed Il
in tie hands OF the federal govern
mcnt.
2. Reputation Of Wilson would
imply dissatisfaction with the federal
trade commission. Notwithstanding
the fact that the l3E corporations no
longer are harrassod by federal prose-
cutions. large numbers OF them would
rather stand those prosecutions, fines
and IN some eases conviction OF Off
cials for crimes. than 20 have their
power Of extraordinary profits cur
tailed. No big business today can
crush out a little business by unfair
means, II big business can manu-
facturc cheaper and sou cheaper than
the little competitor then the little
man must go; because IL would be
waste unfair TO the American people.
for the law to step in and say that
the consumer must pay more for
goods because the government wishes

WHAT A VOTE AGAINST WILSON
MEANS.

one week from this morning the
voters will begin 10 cast their ballots
in the greatest election the world has
ever known. The people Will record
their viii, issue their mandate regard
ing the policy which shall be pursued
In the government of more than one
hundred million freemen In the
United States. Next Tuesday Will
show the supreme expression Of the
viii of the people. They viii choose
the man who shall be president for
four years, thrty-one men who shall
sit in the United states senate, and
the entire lower house Of congress.
except those from Maine. whore the
election was held some weeks ago.
This is a government by party. Tho
democrats gained control Of the lower
house Of congress six years ago and
OF the presidency and uppor house
four years ago. For all that has ocS
cured in the United states, since
March 4, 1913, the democrats are
responsible-or ms nearly 30 as Is
possible for any dominant party
Whatever has been done for the pub
lie good, that party should have the
credit For whatever has been done
nationally that was wrong that party
should have the blame. History will
~ record H.
tOHirNf Between Parties.
The present contest, therefore Is one
between The democratic and republi-
can parties for control Of the nation.
Tho republicans hope to elect Charles
Evans Hughes TO the presidency, they
expect TO elect a majority of the
lower house Of congress, and they are
making desperate fight for the oloc-
ton Of enough senator's TO insure har-
mony between the executive and Les
ialative branches Of the government
should Hughes be elected
II ls because Of this condition that
republican national committee is MAX
ing strong effort to capture ono
senatorship IN Arizona and hold ono
In New Mexico,
In addition to the national phases
OF the election, the governors, the
legislatures, the other state officers,
of nearly every state In the union are
NJ for election this year, and also
most Of the county officers through
out the United states
with these truths in view, do the
American people dare ropudlato the
administration OF Woodrow Wilson
DO they dare elect Charles Evans
Hughes who permits colonel Thoo-
doro Roosevelt to be his chief spokes-
man?

From Active Business.

Spokane.-D. c. Corbin, president
and builder of the Spokane Interna-
tional railway, announces that nego-
tiations with Lord Thomas Shaugh-
messy, president of the Canadian Pa
cific railway, had resulted in the Ca
madam Pacific and the Minneapolis,
st. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie (the 500

Mr.. Corbin and his associates.
Price Is Satisfactory.
When asked the price for which the
road was sold, Mr. Corbin said:
81 think the price is satisfactory to
both the sellers and the purchasers,
and do not feel that it would interest
the public"
The actual bonded Indebtedness of
the road, including the Occur d'Alene
and the Pend Oreille brnch, is $4,744,-
900, and the outstanding stock is
$4,200,000. There is no stock issued
on the branch lines This bonded in
debtedness, $4,744,O00, represents the
cost of the road, equipment, terminals,
shops and roundhouses. The main line
is 140.8 miles long, and the two branch
lines % miles.

Export Business Big.

The foreign trade of the United
States for the calendar year of 1916
will approximate the sum of $8,OOO,-
100000, or about one-fifth of the en-
tire international trade of the world,
according to estimates made public
by the foreign trade department of
the National City bank of New York.
1t will be so per cent greater than
in 1915 and double that of 1914. Ex-
cess of exports over imports will ap-
proximate $3,oOo,ooOooO, against ST.
76S,ss4,OoO in 1915, $324,348,OOO in
1914, and $691, 422,OOO in 1913.
Complete figures for the commerce
of the entire country in the nine
months ended with September are at
hand. Figures for the nine months
ended with September show a total
commerce Of $5,7so,ooo,o o0,. against
1888, 100000 in the corresponding Pc
riod of 1915, and $2,s77, 100000 in the
nine months of 1914.
October figures of the port of New
York indicate that the total trade will
equal and probably exceed that Of
September. Both imports and ex-
ports will make new records in the
current year.

$4,000 PRIZE FOR WOMEN.
Display Of Apple Products Is Object
SOUGHT


The women's Department of the
Ninth National Apple Show which
opens in Spokane, November goth, is
developing some of the, most inter-
esting features of the entire show.
The grand prize of $4,000 offered to
the women's club, society or sewing
circle that makes the best collective
display of products wholly or in large
part made out of apples has started a
competition that is contagious. The
entries for this prize will all be gra-
ded on the first day of the show and
every exhibit that scores 80 or more
will be open to voting competition
during the last five days of the show
Every admission ticket to the Apple
Show will contain coupon vote and
the purchaser will cast it for the
exhibit which he or she thinks the
best. The exhibit having the most
votes at the close of the show Satur-
day night will be awarded the $4,000
prize.

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: Neither the
pending election nor the persistent
rise of prices have perceptibly re-
duced the momentum of the business
movement. New buying for current
and forward requirements still out
strips the facilities for both produc-
ton and distribution, labor conditions
and the growing scarcity of materials
acting as brake on manufacturing
in many directions. Car shortages
are also hindrance and the conse-
quent restriction of fuel supplies
causes some concern. With ship
ments generally backward, and the
trend of prices continuing strongly
upward, producers display greater re-
luctance in extending commitments
and increasing number of profitable
contracts are being rejected. Weekly
bank clearings $5,2e6.352,3 1924.

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

There is but one dominant, all-pre-
vailing feature in the jobbing and re-
tail situation at the present time, and
that is the boosting Of values for mer-
chandise. In record-breaking up
ward movement all records have been
shattered during the past fortnight,
in the range of commodities covered
and in the extent to which quotations
have been boosted. This is pecul-
iarly noted in the foodstuffs line, that
is characteristic of practically all
branches of trade, and presents the
most serious possible problem for the
merchant.
In monetary measurement business
is running under high pressure mark,
and there is fairly sustained ton
mage of distribution, although, as the
inevitable result of prevailing condi-
many directions is being enforced.
Provisions.
Butter-Another advance was re-
corded in the butter market during
the week, which puts the wholesale
price at 35@3Sc for Washington
creamery. The New York market is
Eggs-The market is very strong
and in some cases the asking price is
above those quoted.
Dressed Meats - There has been
practically no change in this division.
Beef continues to hold relatively
steady, while pork and mutton re-
main hioh ond firm
Poultry An easier market on
springers is noted at 12@13c live
weight. Market is plentifully sup
piled and receipts are mostly small
and not in good condition. Indica-
lions are that turkeys will be high
and scarce for the holiday trade.
Lard and Cured Meats-Pork prod
ucts still hold very firm, but no
change in prices is noted in hams or
bacon. Lard is up 1c and is quoted
at TIC.
| Hides and Wool - No furth Q r
changes have been made in this di.
vision as to prices, which are high
and firmly held at the advance noted
last week.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-Apples, while showing a
stronger undertone, are relatively a
cheap product at the present range
and are expected to strengthen later.
A very good apple is jobbing at a
dollar, with a range up to $135 for
fancy, while cookers are holding
around 75c.
Oranges-Reports indicate a good
orange crop, though somewhat spot
ted in extent of yield, the average
sizes running considerably below last
season. First arrivals are due around
Thanksgiving.
Other Fruits-No change is noted
in grape quotations, and bananas hold
firm at the advance noted last week.
| Peaches are off the market.

She Is Very Practical Home Wom-
an and Can Make Good Stump
Speech-Thinks Can Hold Her
Own With congressman.

Butte, Mont.-Miss Jeanette Ran
kin, the first woman to be elected

so well that the men she serves ask
for more. Besides this she under
stands tariff politics and can make a
good stump speech.

herman and rancher and Miss Ran
kin learned practical domestic sci
ence on her fathers ranch and in his
logging camp.
Social Welfare Enthusiast.
Concerning her intentions while at
Washington she said:
"Of course I'll make speeches. I've
been making them for the last eight
years for suffrage and for prohibit
ton and for myself.
more especially, however, am
concerned about social welfare legis-
lation. I had something to do with
a children's home society in Wash
ington and I know the needs of the
youngsters. That work gave me an
insight into the needs of babies,
children and young adults and it is
for them / shall work especially.
"No, I'm not nervous about going
to congress. I've been working with
politicians and for political matters
for so long that 1 feel I'm a veteran
in the game. think I shall be able
to take my part in Washington and
do my part"
Jeanette Rankin is the first wom-
an in the United States to help in
making laws for the nation.

Miss Rankin has had one proposal
of marriage since she has been elect
ed, that coming from G. M. Wilkin-
son of Oklahoma City, Okla. This
does not signify, however, that she
could not have been married before
nor that she will accept this offer.
