our boat again rides safely on the
placid sea of prosperity" the COM
mittee says, somewhat eloquently.
There is much in this recommen-
dation that should commend itself to
the American Federation of Labor
and to the employers of labor as well.
Nothing could be more conducive
to an early restoration of normal
conditions in the United States than
the cessation of hostilities between
capital and labor. At the coming
labor capital conference which Presi-
dent Wilson has called, much can be
accomplished by acting on the sug-
gestion of this New York committee.
With Palmer and the state officials
breaking down the unjustly increased
prices and with labor and capital
working to restore normal conditions
we may soon get back to a perman-
ent basis in business and industrial
life.

THE BOLD PROFITEER.

Right out of the hand Of the gov
eminent and under it's very eye, it
seems, some bold profiteer in Chicago
has effected coup. If the charges
of a big wholesale grocer there be
substantiated, the country will be
treated to the spectacle of the gov
ernment's hoard of tomatoes passing
in toto from federal to private hands.
We may be sure also, if the facts be
true, that the public will not be treat
ed so kindly by the new monopolist,
says the Commercial-Appeal.
The grocer in question alleges that
at the recent auction of army sup
plies one individual bought up all the
canned tomatoes that the govern
ment offered. This individual bid
three-tenths of cent a can less than
any other bidder The margin of diff
ference was so close that there are
intimations that the successful bid
der must have received a "tip' from
some quarters. Of course no direct
proof was offered of this charge, but
the intimation should be sufficient for
thorough investigation.
The army authorities have the rec
ords of the individual or individuals
to whom the goods were sold and the
prices they brought. If the buyers
attempt to profiteer in the resale it
ought to be an easy matter to find
this out. The facts so gathered
might be used in legal action if the
law be violated. Meanwhile federal
Investigators should determine
whether or not some army official
has violated his duty. If any has, he
should be prosecuted. 1t will not do
for one branch of the government to
make war on the food hogs while
another covertly assists such crimi-
nails.

A LABOR TRUCE.

Suspension of all strikes thruout
the United States and the declaration
of labor truce on the basis of the
status quo for six months or more to
enable President Wilson to bring
about reduction in the cost of liv-
ing is recommended in report Of a
committee of the New York State
Federation of Labor.
In order to relieve the disturbed
condition of industry and to help re-
store an economic equilibrium in the
United States the committee declared
there must be suspension Of party
and class struggles.
All Americans must bend their
backs to the oars and pull steadily
against the orm-tossed waters until

Wilson Unable to
Make Speech Here

A telegram was received from
Secretary Tumulty by the Chamber
of Commerce yesterday stating he
regretted that it would be impossible
for President Wilson to include Pine
Bluff in his itinerary. "The presi-
dents engagement at Memphis would
make stop between Little Rock and
that city an impossibility," the mes
sage said, land efforts are conferred
on one city in each state so that the
president may cover as much Of the
country as possible in his twenty
five days of strenuous travelling and
speech making"
The matter of securing special
rates from the two railroads has been
presented by Secretary Bloom to Of
ficials of the roads, and he expects a
favorable action within few days.

ADVERTISING
COMMENT
(BY J. w. ANDREW

The vital thing about successful
selling, or successful advertising, Tor
that matter, is the influence the first
sale bears upon the placing OF tu-
ture orders.
Clever salemanship, or clever adj
vertising, may sell a customer one
order OF goods, but all the clever
craftsmanship or clever advertising
in the world will not bring repeat
order unless you are truthful in your
remarks and in your advertising.
You may deceive the public once,
or twice or thrice but eventually
they are going to find you out, If
you use untruthful remarks over the
counter or in your advertising, and
that customer you have lost.
However, on the other hand, II
you are truthful in your remarks
and in your advertising, you are 60
ing to gain a permanent customer
in turn is going to bring this fact
to the attention of others with the
result that your establishment will
continue to grow and be conducted
on a profitable basis.

TEXAS FOR TEXANS.

When Governor Hobby, in a speech
Monday at Fort Worth, declared he
believed that Texans should have the
sole say as to how the affairs Of
Texas are conducted, he echoed the
sentiments of the residents of almost
any state.
When he declared that he believed
in sending those narrow minded re-
formers who endeavor to stir up
racial discomfort back to where they
came from, he likewise spoke a popu-
lar sentiment.
But the Governor surely did not
mean literally what he said when he
declared he was for "Texas for Tex
ans only"
"Texas for Texans only" never
made any state great. Texans did
not make Texas great. In old days
it was the people from other states
who came to the then wild country
which now boasts thriving cities that
made Texas a great state. Today the
sons of these earlier emigrants and
people from all points of the COM
pass are making Texas a much more
wonderful state than its early set
tiers ever believed it could be.
The state that is moving ahead to-
day is the state that attracts people
from other states, that brings them
within it's confines to become "Tex-
ans" and to make their own fortunes
and build up the prosperity of their
adopted home.
Those communities where there is
a strong prejudice against the man
from outside seldom forge ahead as
rapidly as those where the door is
open. California had the NATIVE SON.
period, but California did not become
a great state until the "native son"
dropped into the back ground and
men from all points of the compass
came into California with an equal
opportunity. Washington and Ore
gon, which 30 years ago, were from
tier states, now are among the most
progressive of the union, due solely
to the men who have come in from
outside.
Governor Hobby certainly is right
when he says that Texas doesn't want
any opinionated, touch-and-go re-
formers. He would be perfectly safe,
however, in saying that Texas wants
anyone from anywhere who is honest
and worker. The people that would
60 to Texas from this class soon
would get the Texas viewpoint.
They would be as much Texans as
anyone else and would have just as
much right to wear spurs, high hat
and pirate about ranches on their
yearly visits to New Orleans and
Kansas City, and probably would do
this same stunt with as much pride
as the "Texas average type" does to-
day.

HOOVER CHARGES
SPECULATION IS
CAUSE OF H. C.L.
Says Europe's Wharves and
Warehouses Are Over
flowing.

Paris, Sept. "A distressing era
of speculation in food stuffs in the
United States and throughout the
gely responsible for high food costs,
in the opinion of Herbert Hoover
chairman of the inter-allied relief
organization, who on the eve Of his
departure for the United States
granted The Associated Press an in
terview today.
Wharves and warehouses in north
ern European ports are OVERLOOKING
with foodstuffs, principally meats,
fats and dairy products, sent by mer-
chants all over the world, Mr.. Hoover
said. These merchants, he declared,
had "gambled" on sales in Poland,
.Czecho- Slavakia, the Baltic states
and Germany, at high prices, but the
states have only deprecated local
currency and many commodities are
in danger of spelling as the central
European market for foodstuffs is
limited to the ability of the people to
buy on credit.
"This years speculations," Mr..
Hoover said, "are due, in my opin-
ion, chiefly to the belief of food mer-
chants and manufacturers that when
the blockade was removed there would
be an enormous demand for food
stuffs and other commodities in Cen
trail and Eastern Europe. This spe-
culation was not due to any impor-
tant shortage, at present Of actual
supply This speculative fever which
was not confined to foods was great
ly stimulated by the long delay in
the removal of the blockade until the
peace treaty was signed at Versail-
les"
Palmer is Right.
Responding to an inquiry as to how
food speculation could be checked in
America, Mr.. Hoover replied:
Acknowledgement A. Mitchell Pal
mer is on the right track when he
endeavors to break down speculation
We are now coming into a flood of
production of foodstuffs in the north
ern hemisphere and will again have
great surplus in the United States.
If, in the meantime, Europe has not
found credits to purchase the COM
ing supplies, we are likely to have a
glut and prices may fall below the
cost of production to American far
mers.
"The present high prices of food
are not due to over-exports to Europe
from the United States during the
past year."
Mr.. Hoover pointed out that the
problems involved in the speculative
wave were very rifficult to deal with
because it was worldwide and not

Germans Hear That
England is About to
Attack PetrOgrad

Berlin, Sept. Via London) -
German reports from Riga declare
that General Cough of the British
army has proclaimed to the popula-
ton of Petrograd that an attack is
about to be made upon that city.
The reports quote the proclamation
as continuing:
GAS soon as Petrograd has been
freed from bolshevik tyranny, food
will be sent"
confined to the United States.
"The law of supply and demand
he continued, "is not working nor
mally and probably will not for an
other year. While prospective food
supplies for the next twelve months
are about equal to the apparent need,
unstable political situations, re-
curing shortage of shipping, a shot
age of credit and a combination of
either buyers OR sellers will tend to
create great speculative waves and
may initiate prices to point unen-
durable to the consumer, or in the
reverse situation, uncomfortable to the
farmer"
Credits Are Needed.
Appearing today befort the sub
mittee on war expenditures, Herbert
Hoover, director general of inter- al
committee of the congressional COM
lied relief, said he believed it impera-
tive for the United States to extend
to Europe credits of from $4,000, 000,-
600 to $4,000 100000 for a year and
a half or two years in order to pro-
vide market for the American sur
plus and save Europe from disaster.
The credit, Mr.. Hoover declared
should be issued to establish Euro
pean merchants, under guarantee of
their own governments, and guar
antee in turn should be given by the
United States to the American mer-
chants in interest.
