TOBACCO WILL GO HIGHER.

d Declines are in the air. Many have already
come and for this reason many more are eX-
pected. Consumers are full of this idea and
naturally are looking for lower prices on the
smoking and chewing tobacco, not to speak of
cigars and cigarettes. ii
The average retailer does not bother much
about the first hand values of leaf tobacco, and
consequently is hardly to be expected to prevent
the smoker from getting the notion that prices
are all ready to drop. Nothing, however, could
be further from the truth. Prices today in the
Southern market on hoghead tobacco are sky
rocketing without any sign of limit. When
it will stop no one can tell. The business is done
by auction and the buyers naturally want to get
the goods as low as they can. But the demand
is there and so long it exists values will never
come down. Demand for American tobacco in
Europe is apparently growing as result of the
big overseas shipments during the war and
nothing certainly could be more natural or de-
sirable. !.
As we have before explained in these col
umns, cigar and tobacco manufacturers do not
Jase the price of their product upon the pres
ent price of raw leaf. If they did the prices on
all tobacco products would be very much high
er than they are today. No, the plan they fol-
low is to average two or three years prices and
thus maintain more stable values. Those there
fore who are in position to look at the actual
cost figures of big manufacturers know and tell
us frankly that, while prices will undoubtedly
come down in the future, that they Will GER
tanly seek higher levels before they decline.
Dealers therefore should. whenever possible,
place these facts before the smokers who are
ignorant and who do lot of foolish talking all
the way from claiming tobaccOs are mixed with
brown paper to being absolutely certain that
big profteering trust is at the bottom OF all to-
oacco raises. ..-.-..-.

SCHOOL HOUSES NEEDED.

N One public building project interrupted by
the war and now in most urgent need of re-
sumption is the construction of school houses
In carrying on the back-to-school campaign il
becomes increasingly apparent that more
schools are need for the pupils to go back to.
Before the war, the PEOPLE of the United
States spent about Sl00O00,0O0 year on new
school buildings. Everyone can recall how woe.
fully inadequate to the needs that sum was
School buildings were invariably over crowded
Glasses in some places had to be conducted in
shifts, emptying the rooms of one batch of chill
dren only to fill them again at once with another
throng.
Few communities had the good sense and
vision to erect buildings with the needs of per-
iod only five years in advance in mind. Too
often the new building had been outgrown be-
fore it was completed and ready for occupation.
During the war schoolhouSe building almost
ceased. But the cho population of the country
increased at the normal rate, until now the ac-
cumplated demand for proper buildings is en-
ormOuS.
School buildings have improved greatly in
recent years. They are fire-proof and Clean
with plenty of light and good ventilation They
are built with beautiful lines and artistic decor
ations and set in attractive surroundings. Therei
is one more vital point which has been overlook
ed in the past, but which we must attend to now
if we are to carry the education process fullyl
and efficiently. That is to make the buildings
numerous enough. commodious enough and
equipped to care for all the children of school
age comfortably and beautifully.

THE OCEAN FIGHT SAFE.

That airpanes as well as airships can make
the distance of an ocean flight is well known.
Making the fight itself safe is another matter;
probably the lives of the men who man the first
American plane to try it will be protected sutfl-
GENTLY by the arrangements of the Navy Depart
ment made public yesterday by Acting Secre-
tary Roosevelt t. q
In May, when the naval experiment may be
looked for The swiftneSs of a modern alrpane
makes it possible so to time trip that good
weather may almost be guaranteed for its BRET
duration Destroyers capable of dashing thirty
five miles an hour are to be strung at 2OO-me
intervals on the line of flight, and, barring accl-
dents to the raio apparatus, call for help would
always bring it to designated spot within tour
or five hours.
Little is known of the reported attempt or
Lieutenant Fontan to fly from Sanegambia to
Pernambuco except that he seems to have been
halted by engine trouble on the way to his start
ing point But substantial rivalty to our naval
plans is promised by the shipping of SopWith
plane to Newfoundland by the British Air Serv-
ice, especially to try the short course from st.
Johns to Ireland.
While the war lasted the ocean fight appeared
an extra hazardous possibility Of the far future
Four months after the armistice, three attempts
are planned by three friendly nations for the
honor of the first crossing.

NEED LEAGUE NOW.

Come home and mind your own business,
say the Hearst papers. So say some much hon.
ester men-Senatoa. Borah for instance, and
Mark Sullivan.
Very fine if it can be done. But look at
the actual situation. this very moment, as out
lined by the Fresno Republican. :.
The spread of anarchy in the Slavic states
Just liberated from Austria, depends absolutely
on getting food to them quickly. America IS
rushing ships with it. But Italy has some boun-
Diary disputes with them and therefore, levies
an embargo, and will not let that food go
through. Italy, however, is likewise dependent
on the United States for food. The only differ
cnce in that Italy pays for it. while these states
in chaos have to be, given it. So the United
States notifies Italy that the food must go
through to the South Slavs, or it will be stop
ped from Italy. This is exactly the sort of pro-
vided in the League of Nations And it will.
of course make Italy come through.
Only America can settle this situation. It.
ally went into the war; backed by secret treaty
with England and France, whereby they agreed
to support Italy in its territorial claims to ter
ritory across the Adrlatic These treaties must
of course, be abrogated, and the matter settled
by justce. But this only can be done by pow
er higher than England, France or 1taly-whleh
is, of Course, only the League of Nations. And
the League of Nations will be powerless to set
tie this Particular question without the United
States. AZ :.
y If we ''eave Europe to settle its own rows,
Z Westtn powers, with their hands already
~tied, whave to settle this in favor of Italy.
II hasvdo the South Slavs will fight. Then the
Balkan magazine is exploded again. When it
exploded before, it set the world afire. If it
expodes again, it will do the same thing, and
the conflagraton will reach US again. We shall
have If to do all over again. The Concert OF
Europe never dared trust itself to settle the
Balkan question. Hence, the World War. A
League of Europe can as little settle It, 1t IS
America in the League or cnaos again-not IN
the future, but right now.
The wars which the League of Nations must
prevent are not Of the next generation. They
are not even of next year. They are this year.
ii we re-nake the world On the old basis of
separate nationalism, the wars will flame forth
in this year of grace, 1919, in the same old fire
Dot of Europe We shall have to form League
to stop them then, and serd armies to do it. 1t
is better to do it now.

NEW SAVINGS
CERTIFICATES

Postmaster Collins has been mott
fed that the Treasury Department is
now printing a new certificate in de-
nominations of 800 and $1,000 each.
These may be purchased for cash or
may be obtained in exchange for an
equivalent of War Savings Certifi-
cate Stamps of the issue Of 1919 only.
This certificate will be- more in the
nature of bond and will not have
any gum on the back. tt will not

HELMETS AND BONDS.


Waiting until a legal technicality is cleared
ND $4,000 German helmets lie in huge pile at
Hokoben n. J. 1t was announced some time
ago thata captured Hun headgear would be Civ
en- away to bond purchasers in the sixth Liberty
Loan Great numbers Of the helmets were then
shipped to this country for that purpose.
About that time some one discovered that
the plan could not be carried out because law
forbids the governments giving away war ma
terial There was CONSERVATION until the direc-
tor of loan publicity unearthed an old law per-
mittng the government to give away "mun-
tions of no value" .s- r., ~,...-
Even that has not clearly settled the diff
ficulty, and lawyers are busy finding out the
exact law covering the case
b Somehow the public does not grow wildly
excited over those German helmets. The bond
buyers are going ahead with plans for the next
loan without waiting to hear what the chances
of acduiring a helmet will be. The Victory
Loan will be a success even if all those helmets
are carried eff by the souvenir seekers who arc
said to be making cautious inrOads on the pile.

The general verdict, in Siberia to-

To check this danger of Bolshe

PREFERENTIAL. RATES

All of the frontier sections of the
United States and of Canada have
been greatly aided in their settle
ment by preferential settlers rates.
As an example, for nearly twenty
years anyone could purchase tick
ct from St. Louis, Kansas City. Chi
cago. Minneapolis, or St. Paul to
Pacific coast points for less than so
percent of the cost of a ticket from
coast cities TO the points mentioned.
And not only were there preferen-
tial passenger rates given 10 set
tiers. but also TO all kinds of set
tiers effects, livestock. and other
classes of freight that were neces-
sary to the settlement of frontier
sections
Here in Alaska, points out the
Anchorage Daily Times, the policy
Of the steamship companies as a
whole has. been one to tend to the
talking Of the people out of Alaska
instead Of bringing them in. It is
absolutely necessary that Alaska
should have similar preferential
rates for settlers and settlers eff.
fleets, mining machinery and all
freight that is 10 be used for the
country's development.

HOLDING IRELAND.

The general effect Of the govern
ment proclamations suppressing the
Sim Fem organizations throughout
Ireland is TO make these organiza-
tons Illegal 1t will be an offense
to hold a meeting of these bodies
in the proclaimed areas or 10 pub
lish reports of any such meetings.
As these organizations declare
their purpose 10 be the overthrow
of British rule in Ireland and the
establishment of an independent
Irish republic, and as that purpose
has long been illegal under the Or
binary law, the proclamshon merely
provides a speeder means for the
trial of offenders and a greater
proba ability of their conviction. They
can now be tried by two resident
magistrates instead of by the petty
sessions bench, and there is in every
case an appeal from the decision TO
the county court judge.

Act of 1887 has a different purpose

PLACE FOR MAD MEN.

The world will not be surprised
to learn that the former kaiser IS
planning to defend his actions prior
to and during the late war on the
plea that his mind was not on an
even keel. The world knows, as
well as the mad former monarch
knows. that he was crazy when he
set out to crush rival nations be
meath the iron heel of Germany.
No sane man would have attempted
what be did.
But the fact that the former
kaiser is unbalanced now and was
unbalanced when he started the war
should not stay the proceedings
which are about to be started in
London. The responsibility for the
inhuman acts committed by the Ger
mans during the war should lie
fixed where it rightly belongs, once
and for all time. and then. if it is
shown TO the satisfaction of the
Allies that the kaiser was and is
still unbalanced. he should be dis
posed of in such manner as viii

as punishment for all the suffer
ing he has caused, directly and in
directly His punishment should
stand. for all time, as a warning q
other ambitious rulers who so far
lose their mental poise as to seek
world domination by the mailed fist

If, however, in the judgment OF
the London tribunal, the high Hur
offender should not suffer the ex.
IRENE penalty for his crimes. then
surely, he should be put away where
he cannot exercise that influence
over his former subjects which ne
now wields from his Holland estate
