Bank Law Averted a Panic

We learn from the eastern press that
the peace talk in Europe the past week
shrunk the fictitious values of Wall
street stock to the extent Of over 1900, :
100000.
This sudden shrinkage of values In
past periods would have been the
means of SO disturbing the financial
equilibrium Of the country, as to cause
a panic that would have brought de-
struction in it's wake. But thanks be
to u Democratic president and con-
gress who placed the regional bank
law upon the statute books that sep
arates the money of the country from
New York's stock gambling board,
and their wild speculations no longer
produce a tremor upon the business
of the country.
Under the Vreeland- Aldrich flnan-
cial law, that allowed the money Of
the country to flow to Wall street, the
great shrinkage in stocks during the
past week would have thrown the
country into q panicky state and our
present great prosperity would be
turned into one of financial stringen-
cy and grief.-Gilpin Observer.

War and High Prices

Speaking on the above subject, the
Ieadville Herald Democrat, editori-
ally observes:
"There is an upward movement all
over the world, and not by any means
confined to the United States. We
cannot erect barriers and make our
selves hermit nation, for the exper-
iment has been tried and failed.
"What we are facing is the inexor-
able fact OF war. First and most serious
as Henry Clews points out, is the
shifting Of millions upon millions of
men from productive occupations to
those Of destruction. Hence the scar
city OF labor and the incalculable
wastage of life, property and commod-
tiles. Nothing can prevent even high
er prices while the terrible scourge OF
war continues. Production Is decreas-
ing while consumption and waste are
constantly increasing. Governments
may endeavor to restrain speculation
with all possible energy; they may
seek to prevent the INSCRIPTIONS
from taking undue advantage; they
may secure better distribution and
somewhat mitigate the hardships of
abnormal conditions; but no govern
ment is powerful enough to throttle
he;inevitable law Of supply and de-
mand, which, owing to scarcity, now
operates irresistibly in the direction
of higher prices,
High prices are the natural correc-
tion of such conditions and the only
sure way of stimulating production.
Economy, efficiency, and stoppage OF
waste are equally necessary to offset
the high cost of living. Even in the
commercial world the i'll effects of the
war are painfully illustrated, and
many lessons can be learned; chief of
which are the inviolability ofeconom-
ic law and the penalties which the
whole world must suffer for the
struggle now devastating the conti-
nent of Europe

The recent election showed that the
Progressive party is far from being a
dead one. After the fiasco at Chicago
last June, when the party was most
shamefully betrayed by their leaders
who temporarily disorganized the
party, the majority, as the vote shows,
voted for Wilson on account of the
many progressive laws that he had
initiated, and the campaign of 1920
will undoubtedly see that party the
only formidable one to measure
strength with Democracy. - Gilpin

A Christmas Day Fire

Shortly after one o'clock, Meeker-
ties were, as general thing, about
to sit down to their Christmas Day
dinner, when they were disturbed by
the sharp changing Of the fire alarm
bell.
1t didn't take long to locate the fire
at the Meeker garage-operated by
the Hal Montgomery Automobile and
Garage company.
The prompt arrival of the fire de-
partment and efficient work Of the
boys saved the building and contents
from total destruction.
Among the cars destroyed and dam
aged were:
The Hulett Case car; almosta total
loss.
The Walbridge Veile, likewise.
Hal Montgomery-A Saxon, badly
damaged.
Kirk Miller-A Dodge, badly dam
aged.
Gentry and Scott-Fords, consider
ably damaged.
Ed. J. Wilson-A big Studebaker,
considerably damaged.
The Moulton Overland, also con-
siderably damaged.
Simp Harp's Buick was in the fire
zone, but was only slightly damaged
owing to the fact that it was covered
by a heavy "tarp".
AS far as we could learn, none of
the cars were insured.
The principal loss will be on Tobe
House, owner of the building, about
81, 600 to 50, 900, with no insurance.
Hal Montgomery, about 81 200 most
ly on stock and fixtures.
The total loss will run up to about
$1,000.
How the fire originated remains q
mystery.
Only the prompt arrival of the fire.
fighting boys and their efficient work
prevented more destruction and the
loss of the Tobe House residence,
which adjoins the garage building.
