Influences Of war IN Europe are being
felt acutely in South America. The rou.

grafton. This Is attributed to the exc.
dus of Italian reservists who have raj.

about equal numbers to the harvest

gone on in the same proportion, for

they are going in greater numbers,
for the simple reason that all those
who are not radicated In the Republic
already have drifted away.
This shifting OF labor is not strange,
but, occurring at a period when hands
are most needed and wages are high.
easiness. One good result is that the
national and provincial authorities have
been induced to think more seriously
of their natural sources of human en-
ergy. and how to organize them. The
country Is SO large that. with ample
railroad facilities. the unemployed
hands in the North, for example, could
be shifted to the South where, at a
given period In the year, extreme diff
ference, OF climatic conditions prevail.
This organization, SO far has not made
itself apparent by results.
At the present moment there is q
considerable number of unemployed
in the Pampas territory near what
may be called the geographical center
of the Republic. Having drifted there,
these elements are causing consider
able trouble by their truculent and
menacing attitude. AS the territories
are, OF course, under national admins.

police armed with rifles and well sup.
piled with ammunition have been sent
down to reinforce the local police and
maintain order. The Department Of
Labor declares that had these elements
been amendable to control, they would
not have drifted, at the precise NOM
ent when they were wanted elsewhere
to a point at which they were not re;
uuired. It Is, however, difficult to or
ganize elements SO illiterate that they
cannot read.
Another serious effect of the war is
that freighting vessels are few and
rates exceedingly high. The amount

The strongest Democratic member

Apart from the bitter opposition to
Mr.. Brandeis personally and profes'

cited Nv a member Of the committee.
III is that the appointment to the Su'
preme Court Of Mr.. Brandeis at this
iuncture would decide the Harvester
trust case, without a further argu,
ment against the trust This case
has been pending for two years, The
supreme Court last year ordered a
re.areument because Of the fact that
the Court stood 4 to 4, after James

case for the Government, had been ap,
nofnted. Corporation lawyers say
that this case could not be fairly de-
cided BY the Court II Mr.. Brandels

trusts, should sit In it, and even Il
he should there is every chance that
he alone would decide this important
issue.

It would add times the to the value of government lands in the territory, thus cpayng the government and again for the outlay
 In order get the best results from the money that al ready has been expended Alaskan roads money should hc expended The roads already in have proved invauabc they could be made much useful by completing them so that automobiles and trucks could be used upon them O better advantage than is possible.

KEEPING UP WITH THE WILSON'S" 7"

Much of the confusion Americans having in under standing the between President Wilson and Mr. Garr isexcusabe It requires lively and namble witted keep up with the Presidents flip flop these days What loyal Wilson Democrat is called upon favor today he have oppose tomorrow None tell what changes in at titude political eXigences other may force in night Therefore, those who started out with the correct derstandng that Mr. Garrison continental army plan recommended Congress by the President well by the secretary solve the dde of the present clash
 The trouble is that after both MT. Garrison and MT Wilson recommended the continental army plan, powerful opposition aroused by the national guard association. These advO of the rival militia bill got a their congressman and then at President Mr. Garrison urged Mr. Wilson stand manfuly at his opposing in public speech what the secretary considered selfish onslaught of the pork bar re pie counter cohorts But the President evidently seized with cold feet when he the powerful political in terests controlled by the state troopers
 Mr. Garrison the 'pactical" side of the opposition He said in his letter President in which tried in jec into his chief that the proposa of settling this matter by voting money to the enlisted and officers of the state troops appeals to the direct personal political interests of the members of Congress-"
 In the face of this oe the President refused speak for what he himself had told Congress right Mr. Gar became discouraged if not dsgusted and quit
 Anyone who suggests that Mr. Garrison resigned in a chdishy petuan mood does the secretary great injustice
 He had p but before offering 1t to the public he put up his chief His chief approved it and recommended to Con oress The pork barre boys got busy in opposition and bore down the secretary Manully he fought them off in behalf of what then his chiefs program Naturally Mr Garrison made doing The opposition then went ''hgher appealing the President the secretary head" The President didn't stick He grew weary of we'll doing and lay down. Mr. Garrison deserted in the face of the enemy he had made in Mr Wilson's behalf
 It simply is another of the od old story of super iors assertion of inferior when the approaches And always has been held that such condition forces the infer ior in self respect, to get out.

 The general view in most circles is the hopeful one that the brazen attempt to keep Brandeis off the Supreme Bench is over-doing itself and that the senate will bo forced to confirm him eventually. The senate seems determined to force tho issue over another session.
