Attacked for Using Own Money
AS to the money situation it is
thoroughly understood by every one
that there is n curtailment of credit
necessary. but the great complaint
in Wall street has been that specula-
ton is permitted in commodities
whereas Wall street is attacked for
using money that only rightfully be-
longs 70 it. The Wan street banks
are carrying several billion dollars
of European credits sold to America
as result of tho war ana the pres
cnce Of these credits, which are as
yet undigested corn r..cates matters
very much. Wall street Is prefcctly
willing to quiet down and II would
not have objected to restraint on the
Fart of the government the past
week except for the fact that leadi ing
banks were urging the people TO
speculate w To I1r very day that
they suddenly turned and refused to
lend any more money. II the
brakes had been applied gradually
there would have h1en no criticism
and no hard feelings
One OF the most important things
ia look forward to now Is the crop
situation for next year. The coun-
try simply must have q record out

ducts if the boom that so many ex-
nect is really to materialize. AS

cussed. None of the various plans
has been definitely decided upon by
the dry leaders. However. there Is
this much that can be done by the
people to guard against a possible
reopening of the saloons ia their re-
specttve communities.
Wherever the local licensing
body. whether it be an excise COM
mission, city council or an execu-
tive officer with authority to grant
or withhold licenses, the people
ought TO lodge concerted protest
against re-licensing grogshops.
- The mayor of - Minneapolis aR-
nounced last week that no licenses
will be reissued in his city. He fol-
lowed the lead OF st, Paul's mayor,
who had made q similar announce
ment the week before in response
to an appeal of the people. Let
other cities follow these good ex-
amples.
Not ono single good excuse has
heen advanced why saloons ought to
be reopened. but the record of de-
. creased crime and increased pros
| perity covering the four months dry
period, and the record of strike dis
tricts comparatively free from dis
order and riot are argument enough
why the saloons should forever re.
main closed.

GUARD AGAINST AN OPEN PERIOD

Thore is possibly that the war
prohibition act will be rescinded be-
fore constitutional prohibition be-
comes effective President wilson
has declared his intention OF lifting
tho ban as soon as the peace treaty
With Germany is ratified. The act is
automatically reScinded by the
presidents declaration that the
period of rehabilitation is ended
aud that the country is not longer in
a state Of war. Dry leaders are IN
7lstlns that the country will still be
in state Of war after the ratitiea-
ton of the German peace treaty up

An open period for the sale Of

rest and threatened riots by the l.

a calamity, Even the possibility of
such a period has called forth
warnings from public leaders no,

named Senators Lodge and Freling-
