There was a good deal of talk of
the lease" in call money rates last
week. The eye has become accus-
toned to relatively high figure,
and a a per cent ruling rate for the
week seems reasonable. That does
indeed compare with ruling rate
of 1-2 per cent in the correspond
ing week Of 1918, but with that ex-
ception it was the highest for that
time in ten years. In fact, for the
decade prior to 1918 the ruling rate
never rose above 2 3-4 per cent, and
has been so low as l 1-2, while the
highest figure has not been more
than 3 per cent.

A man goes to the automobile
show of a Saturday night and sees
hundreds of attractive cars. He ell
bows his way through the largest
tirst-night attendance of any auto
mobile show ever. He actually sees
a man buy a car. Sunday morning
he gets up late and reads the pa
pers. There are automobile sec
tions and special supplements. Po-
tentates of the motor world give in
terviews tumid with optimism. The
man goes down Gown Monday morn
ing and buys automobile stocks.
That is the naive theory of it. 1t
is more probable that buying of the
shares would be based on funda-
mental factors, such as the termi-
nation of shortage of raw mate
rials and a shortage of labor, the
end of war economy and the coming
end to government loans which take
away the nscney that buys auto
mobiles. But it must take the au-
tomobile show to draw attention to
such factors, else how account for
the fact that motor shares are the
strongest and almost the only ac-
tive group in an otherwise expiring
stock market? In the first hour
yesterday people bought more
shares of Studebaker than they did
Of United States Steel common.
If the market were duller than that
it would be notorious.

The National City Bank devotes
some sober thoughts to the present
demands of labor for shorter
working day:
"If a general reduction of the
hours of labor does reduce the out
put and raise the price Of every
article of consumption, the laboring
consumers. will find the burden in
evitably falling upon them, not by
contrlvance or manipulation, but be-
cause they are consumers.
"lf family was living on an ISL
and, with no communication with the
outside world, supplying all of it's
own wants, the direct relation be-
tween its labor and the satisfaction
of its wants would be very clear. 1t
would decide for itself whether it
would obtain greater benefits by
working longer hours or having more
leisure. In industrial society the sit
uation is more complicated, but the
question is the same. If the hours
extent of curtailing production,
everybody should understand just
what it means to himself and his
own family. What is he willing to
give up that he now has for
shorter hours? Is he willing to do
with less milk or butter, or clothing,
or house furnishings, or with a
smaller apartment, less fuel, or
fewer amusements? 1t comes ct last
to balancing the value of the things
we want against the value of the time
we would like to save from labor,
measuring both by the same esti-
mate-to wit, how will our highest
interests and the progress of society
be best promoted" ?"
This is lucid and restrained. The
general argument cannot be dis
puted. But the worker is not
likely TO be convinced by it. The
economist can take a general view
he can look upon labor as a class /;
he can point out the inevitable eff
fects of course Of action if it be
universally pursued. But the
worker looks upon himself as an
individual, or as a member of Just
one. union out of thousands. The
effect of shorter hours upon HIM
self is immediate, certain, direct.
He will get shorter hours, and his
cost of living will be raised but in
finitesimally by a consequent rise
in price of the particular commod-
ity he happens to manufacture.
For the general cost of living to
rise all labor will have to work
shorter hours That is something
conditional and remote. 1t lacks
vividness. And the worker is look
ing out for himself, not for labor as
a class. His attitude is short
sighted and may ultimately react
upon him. But is it so different
from the attitude Of the individual

tempt 10 protect~ the rights Of their
citizens. Can anyone imagine any
| foreign ENHANCEMENT more likely to
involve us in war than this? 1t will
be remembered how near we came to
war. with England once ON this ac-
count; and just before the world war
broke out it began to seem pretty plain
that we either would have to enforce
order in Mexico or stand aside and see
some other nation do it.
u However, except that the Monroe
;DOctrine was sometimes used to stir
sup jingOism in national campaigns, il
had really played little part In Ameri-
can thought in recent years. In fact,
our assumed rights under it were abb
lrogated in some twenty arbitration
.treaties which we signed with England,
lFrance, Russia and other nations In
1913 and the years following, and no
one even noticed it. These treaties
agreed that the United States and the
other nations signing them should
submit all disputes whatsoever to ar
bitratiOn." These disputes were just
as likely-prObably more SOTO in
volve the Monroe Doctrine as anything
else. And under the treaties we
would have had to submit them to an
international body much like that pro-
vided for in the league of nations.
But, though we had signed away
our rights under the Monroe Doctrine,
the league of nations, while it does not
mention this American principle spe-
officially, in reality does recognize it
by virtue of recognizing the fundamen-
tai principle underlying it; and this
is the first general recognition it has
ever haa
The Monroe Doctrine asserted that
!no country would be allowed to grab
lterritory on this continent without
sgetting into trouble with US. The
,league of nations provides that no ma
s.tion shall be allowed to grab terri
story anywhere in the world without
getting into trouble with all the MEM
bers of the league. Obviously this ap-
plies to America as well as any other
country
The result is that we, instead Of
having all the burden Of enforcing the
Monroe Doctrine against the world,
now will have the world pledged to
nelp US support it against any nation
which seeks to grab land.
Apparently this, instead of dragging
US into a foreign ENHANCEMENT, helps
Us out Of our one hereditary foreign
infringement which might threaten us
with war over matter in which we
had little or no concern.
And what if the league should fail?
What If all the other nations should
suddenly decide to combine to over
whelm an offending state on the
American continent? h
That would mean simply that we
would be right back where we are
now. We could either assume the
duty of chastising the offender our
selves. sit by aud see someone else /
do 1t, or go to war to prevent proper
punishment being melted out. That's 4
ali we can do now.

DEATH OF CLYTUS S. BLAIR
OF MOSINEE

On Sunday morning at 7:40 o'clock,
May 18th, 1919. Clytus Shaton Blair,
passed away at his home in Mosinee.
Last Wednesday he sustained a stroke
of paralysis, followed by another on
Sunday morning, from which he was
unable to recover. He had been i'll
for two years and recently was at
Rochester, Mimi, to consult the Mayo
Bros, but no hope was held out to
him. A life time spent in Mosinee
had made him well known in the
valley.
He was a son, of Mrs. Cornelia Blair,
who came to Mosinee with her parents
in 1852. They bought the property on
the east side of the Wisconsin river,
known as the Fall City Hotel. In
1852 there was no bridge at that point
across the Wisconsin river to con-
meet with the village of Mosinee, where
the business industries were together,
and it was thought that Fall City
would be the town on the river at that
point The bridge across the jaws of
Little Bull Falls, was built in 1856.
Notwithstanding, the Blairs continued
to operate the hotel, which became one
OF the popular stopping places to the
weary traveller in the valley. VIM. G.
Blair was wounded at the battle of
Pittsburg landing and was taken pris-
oner. Three months later he died
and was buried in the National Gem
Fetery at Chattanooga, Tenn. Mrs. Cor
nelia Blair passed away, May LIST, 1881.
Clytus S. Blair was born in Mosinee
on tie 10Th day of March, 1856 and he
had practically resided in that town
for sixty-three years. In the fall of
1876, he was united in marriage with
Ella Wilcox at Knowlton. Mr.. Blair
was druggist and until he retired a
few years ago, he conducted a drug
store in Mosinee, and for seventeen
years was postmaster. He was men,
Der of Forest Lodge, No. 1870, F. and

Branch Of League to Enforce Peace.)
Apprehension, real or pretended,
that the cherished Monroe Doctrine
will be signed away if the United
States becomes a party to the league
or nations, as 1t is now proposed, is
one of the grounds of opposition to
the league in the senate.
The Monroe Doctrine was enunci-
ated at time when reaction was in
the saddle in Europe. Napoleon had
been crushed and ancient dynasties
were being re-established on the
thrones which had been overturned
following the French revolution. The
infant republic in America was sur
rounded by the possessions of power
full European states.
With the exception of the struggling
republic in America there was hardly
any place where the spirit of democ-
racy seemed to survive. President
Monroe felt the isolation not only of
this nation but of the democratic
spirit which 1t represented, and gave
voice to the doctrine that no Euro
pean state should be permitted to OBJ
tain further territory on this cont
nent. He feared that the establish
ment of mOnarchical forms of govern
ment any nearer our borders might
make the overthrow of democracy
complete.
The right of the United States to
take this position of guardian of
hemisphere was never admitted by the
European nations, but Europe was
busy with its own affairs and in the
early days the Monroe Doctrine was
not challenged.
Time passed. Mexico and Central
and South American countries threw
off the Jokes of Spain and Portugal.
Democracy progressed in Europe. The
British government was liberalized.
France became a republic, then an
empire, and then once more a repub-
lie. With the exception of the Ger
man menace, which was not recog-
nized until the war broke out, Europe
seemed to have no territorial designs
on America.
But the Monroe Doctrine grew and
grew. From being protection against
the aggression of monarchy which
might overthrow democracy in the
United States, 1t came to be inter-
preted as involving a duty of this
country to protect the little Latin
American republics from punishment
for reprehensible acts such as repu-
diation of debts or violence to the per-
sons or property Of foreigners residing
In their borders.
We were placing ourselves In the POI
sition of being made the policeman
whose duty 1t was to make the little
republics be good by force or ourselves
to fight other nations which might at
