their all to make good their shortage

If Mr.. Rast is guilty as the lower
court has decreed then he should or.

crime be punished accordingly. But
if the pardoning board and the gov

dealings with men convicted Of crime
none of the high embezzlers now

Of the lower court sustained, the par
doning board assented to an apphca-
tion for pardon in behalf of White al
though he did not serve a single DAY
time at the state penitentiary. He
did not make a single dollar OF restl'
tution of the several thousand dollars
in funds which the assistant state
auditor found that he had embezzled

upheld the lower courts conviction OF
the defendant following a full and fail
hearing of the case in his own county
the governor granted White re
prieve of thirty days before permit

TROUBLE AND ENVY

Trouble comes to every man
Though he live the best he can.
None SO good but now and then
He must bear the cares of men.
None 80 rich that he can pay
Grief and pain to stay away;
None so strong but he must know
All a weaker brothers woe.
Glory gives no guarantee
That you shall be trouble free,
And the gold you strive to keep
Cannot say you shall not weep.
He that walks the ways Of earth
Must at times be lost to mirth;
Each must have his share Of rain
And it's useless to complain.
Envy no mans costlier dress
It may cover keen distress;
In the rich mans home may be
Loneliness and misery.
And the great man, brave and good,
If we only understood,
May be suffering bitterer woes

NEW AVIATION COMPANY

BUENOS AIRES, November 80 (Cor.
respondence of the Associated Press).
A new aviation company has just
been formed in Argentina to inaugu-
rate aerial passenger service between
Buenos Aires and Montevideo and be-
tween Buenos Aires and the fashion,
able summer resort of Mar del Plata.
The trip by steamer across the mouth
of the River Plate to Montevideo now
consumes about eleven hours. To Mag
del Plata is a nights journey By
rail.
There is great interest in aviation
in Argentina, which has been accentus
ated recently by the visits of French
British and Italian aviation missions

the flights across the Andes of tht
Italian aviator. Locatelli- At leas
one North American airplane manu-

.CLEMENCEAU'S LONDON
VISIT AFFECTS EXCHANGE
Rumor of French Loan Is Thought
Misunderstanding Debt
May Be Discharged.

FNrom Financial Dept. Of n. Y. Evening Post)
LONDON. December sO.-The first
explanation that occurs for this
weeks recovery in the exchanges is
that the previous movement was tenn
porarily overdone by speculative OPP
erations. The closing out of these
transactions was prompted. as far as
the American exchange is concerned.
by the belief that Washington will
recognize the critical political and
economic situation of Europe and
modify it's attitude regarding the
peace treaty quickly.
French exchange has been affected
by Clemenceau's visit to London, fol-
lowed by the announcement of a French
loan here. There is good reason to
believe, however, that such an opera
ton will not yet be effected. When it
is put through it will probably be
confined mainly to the discharge of
existing French indebtedness here.
Repay 1O.OOO.OOO Pounds.
1t has already been intimated that
f10.OOO.000 of French banking credits,
which have been running here for a
few years. will be repaid in February.
unless your plans for giving credits
to devastated countries of Europe are
or large scope and rapidly put
through.
Dollar exchange will probably again
appreciate, though it is believed that
Its zenith is not far distant 1t is per-
ceived that the break in sterling was
followed by a break in cotton on your
side. which has now recovered with
sterling. The Edge bill. passed this
week by your Senate, is imperfectly
understood here. but there is some
skepticism regarding your general
disposition greatly to extend foreign
credits. The European economic posi-
ton requires very clear understanding
10 avoid either wastage of credits, on
the one hand. or restitution and boil
shevism on the other. through refusal
of those who are able to lend to rec
ognize the situation.
Needs Economy and Hard Work.
England requires nothing Her one
need is for economy and hard work.
In modified degree the same thing
may be said of France, where credits
should be accompanied by strong re-
| minder of the necessity of imposing
greater taxation and the need for
economy. Some of the smaller devas-
tated regions must have help if fam
inc and bolshevism are to be averted.
Common action by America and
England is essential. Attempts to be-
little the final report of the Cunliffe
committee on currency should be dis
| rcgarded. 1t is really an important
document; first. because it empha-
! sizes all the recommendations made
n the previous report, submitted a
year ago, anu, second, because the
| chancellor Immediately adopted the
| recommendation fixing a legal maxi
| mum of the currency notes
The committees warning against

s approved. Chamberlain, chancellor

gradual curtailment of the floating
debt probably will begin. Foreign
trade figures also are of an encour-
| aging kind.

FAILS TO COLLECT CLAIM;
REBELLED AGAINST KING
American Alien in Ireland Declared
by Dublin Court Undeserv-
ing of Protection.

DUBLIN. December Correspond
ence Of the Associated Press).-An
American alien in Ireland, who sued
the commissioner of police to recover
s124 taken from him when he was ar
rested in Ireland for illegal drilling of
Irishmen, has failed to collect his
claim.
William Pedlar had fought on the
side of the Sim Fein in the rebellion
of Easter week, 1916, having been
stationed inside the post office. He
was afterward arrested and deported.
but returned to Ireland and was en-
gagged in military training when he
was arrested and the money confis-
Gated.
The case was taken before the kings
bench. which unanimously decided
against him. Pedlar's counsel had
claimed that his client as friendly
alien was under protection of the
king, but Justice Dodd, who presided.
pointed out that a man who had seized
the kings post Office and fought
against the kings troops had no right
to such protection.

DRESSED TURKEYS FEW
IN BALTIMORE MARKET
Plenty of Chickens; Egg Prices
Unsettled; Potatoes Higher;
Good Cattle in Demand.

BALTIMORE, Md, December 20
(SpeciaD.-The live poultry marke ct
is very firm as the Christmas holt
days approach, the demand being
active and good prices prevail. re-
ceipts being moderate and promptly
placed at top quotations. Dressed
turkeys are scarce, and some of the
dealers are refusing to take advance
orders, owing to the danger of the
bay boats being tied up by ice. so
unless there is a sudden change in
the weather all turkeys arriving here
IN time for Christmas will find ready
sale at top prices. Chickens, both old
and young, continue in ample supply
for present trade requirements, as the
demand for chickens has been fat all
the week. This line of poultry, how
ever. usually sells better for the New
Year market.
The general egg market is unsettled
and lower in tendency. with the buy
ing trade generally looking for a de-
cline in prices and taking hold ac-
cordingly. No wholesale transactions
are therefore possible, the business
being mainly of a small jobbing or
der From now on the market for
eggs is likely to be very nervous and
iuctuating.
The potato market shows another
advance this week. Receipts running
moderate on all grades of stock and
he movement is good, but stock
showing signs of frost has to be
sharply discounted. Native and
nearby garden truck is in ample
supply and prices are easy.
For attractive fat cattle of all de-
scriptionS there is a more or less con-
slant demand at the stockyards. but
thin, poor stock is dull and of uncer-
tain value. The general wheat mar
ket is firm and in good shape, with
premiums as high as 9 cents above the
government prices being paid right
along now by local buyers for special
weights and grades of wheat. Speci-
mems of bag lots by water are advis-
able. as receipts are running light just
at present.
In the game market a good demand
prevails for cartridges and pheasants.
Choice birds are very scarce and the
market is firm. as the season closes

vorable for rabbits. Choice, fresh
killed stock in good demand and Of

kensei-kai. or opposition party. and
retire from public life, according to
Toxic advices to the Hawaii Hochi.

mand served on Kato is reported to
have said. that such petty politics
will hamper the reorganization of
Japan and therefore, take this means
to demand your resignation as head
of the kensei-kai and at the same
time your retirement from your coun-
try's politics"
The ultimatum was served by a
committee of the league Immediately
following an address by Kato, in
