MAJOR WILLIAM B. GRAY at one time

A'1 connected with the PENNSYLVANIA Rail-
road contract work and recently in the serv-
ice of Uncle Sam, has completed a report on
the navigability of the Susquehanna river.
This has gone to Colonel ]. ]. Loving, United
States engineer in charge at Baltimore. The
major believes the SusQuehanna capable of
great public service, once it is properly i'm
proved, and in this opinion he seems, to be
backed up by Secretary Woodward of the
Department of Internal Affairs whose recent
statement on Susquehanna river commerce
and industry is worth perusal.

the mayor is contributing largely to the
popularity of the famous seaside resort as
a convention city. while Isaac Bacharach,
thr congressman. is leaving no stone un
turned to keep the whole of south Jersey
on the map at Washington. One of the
affairs to which the Bacharach brothers give
studied attention is the occasional meeting
of the Elks. There are a good many mem
bcrs of this fraternity in the Senate and
House of Representatives and when any
thing in the Elks line is pulled off at Atlantic

Geraldine Farrar

have declared themselves unqualiedy for the League
But probably the most significant of the pubics attitude
toward the plan is shown in nationwide poll of the
country's newspapers taken by the Literary Digest
Immediately after President Wilson had declared his
conviction that overwhelming majority of the people
OF America favored the League of Nations the Literary
Digest sent to the editor of every daily newspaper the
country letter asking his attitude toward Americas
the proposed League of Nations and also to Define if
possible, the attitude of his community towards it.
The response broke all records Prompt replies came
from 1,37 editors Of this NUMBER 718 declared un-
qualifedV for Americas membership in the League and
only 181 voted mo-" The remainder, 478 in number,
sent EYES, conditional ballots; they favored the League
OF Nations, with certain changes
The Literary Digests "straw vote of the daily news
papers thus shows that there is substantial majority
unquafedy for the League of Nations; that an over
wheming majority is for the plan with certain amend
ments; that only very small minority is opposed to
Americas entering the League and that President Will
son eminently right.
The poll is significant, not only because newspaper
editors in position to know the sentiment of the
people OF their community but becausen many instances
they went to the trouble to take referendums on their
own account before sending in their replies
Americans want the League because, as one editor
put it, it is our only hope against another devastating
war; while another argues 1--WE must join League of
Nations or spend millions for defense" for unless we do
we will go on to military basis and keep up high
taxes"

conspicuous Republican members of the House BANKING
and Currency Committee.
Such step would cost the farmers of America mil

exemption removed the Farm Land banks will either

on loans to farmers which is just what those behind the
proposal desire '-
: When Democratic Congress established the Land
nanK system, farmers were paving anywhere from to
10 per cent on shorterm oans which they had to renew
often They now borrow money from the land banks at
o12 per cent and for any term they wish from five to

about ten days and all subscribers
will receive a copy folded in theil

The press is slated to start some
time today, Friday, printing two

on the cylinder press, divided into
four press runs.
The special edition will be printed
on sheets the same size of the regu-
lar paper, but something white, slick
nd heavy. The cost of the paper in
the wholesale will be cents per
copy plus the work of placing the
reading matter on it. Each copy can
be mailed for a cent of postage IN
less the weight of the ink on the
sheet makes it pass the four-ounces
which is doubtful, We are still
booking orders for extra copies at

as nearly balanced as possible, dis
turb the flow Of money as little a.
possible, and make careful adjust
ment to the times of peace and unre
stricted trade.
81 remember very we'll when the
Cirmean war was ION. We had moi
been shipping so much of our farm
products to Europe then, and Russia
was feeding more of the European
countries. During the war the ports
OF the Black sea were blocked, and
Russia piled her wheat up and
Europe bought from their countries
l was living in Canada and wheat
went up to $500. Just at the time
the war came to an end unexpectedly
the price Of wheat dropped to $500
while our wagon was on the way
to Quebec and we suffered the loss
OF half our wheat at one stroke.
There was no attempt at legislation
to protect people against such calam-
ity, but the credit. of great govern
ment could avert such losses and
panics that are the outgrowth of such
unstable conditions of the markets.
At the close of the present war we
shall need master minds in our ma
tional capital to deal with them and
to do 1t in advance of the crash. The
individual cannot tide himself over
such things. but great nation using
its credit based on the wealth and
the prospective wealth of the country
can tide itself and the individuals
over them. When the Civil war be-
gan, the Union had no money and no
credit. The credit nations of the
world thought we were going to
pieces as nation and would not loan
us money at ordinary rates of inter-
est, and Wall street would not, so
Lincoln met the problem by issuing
greenbacks, using the credit of the
nation, and the people accepted the
paper money and fought the war on
it. What we must do at the close
of this war is to use the credit of the
nation to tide over the rough places
caused by the adjustment to the new
conditions. We must keep up the
right relations of production and
consumption. If everybody devotes
their energies to production and
there are no constructive enterprises
kept going to consume labor and pro-
ducts, then there will be slowing
down of all work and stagnation will
be certain. There must be legisla-
ton providing the means to keep
great enterprises going and to stabil-
ize the money flow and to stabilize
production and consumption.
