SOMETHING TANGIBLE"

Donnellson Review: The Burlington
Hawk-Eye deyotes about column
Sunday in disseminating the start
ling information that Congressman
Kennedy had been at his home IN
Montrose for about month, and no.
body knew It; also that Lee county
politicians are feeling grouchy be-
cause Kennedy is going to retire with
out handing out a lot Of fat government
jobs to his constituents. The Hawk
Eye also takes the opportunity TO re-
fresh the minds of the people on the
fact that the first announcement of
Mr.. Kennedy's intention to retire was
published in that paper.
The scoop" regarding Kenneuy's
retirement, that the Hawk-Eye is SELL
talking about, was simply matter OF
luck. Mr.. K wrote to q friend about
another matter, and incidentally men
toned that he would not be a candi-
date again; through this party the
Hawk-Eye got their information.
AS to the statement that the Lee
county folks desire something tan
gible" from their congressman, they
are possibly assuming that we feel
that way-in face they can't imagine
how we could feet any other way. The
Hawk-Eye family enjoyed the post
office at burlington for several years,
and they don't seem to be able to COM
prehend what a congressman Is for,
unless it is TO land jobs for his consti.
tuents, motive too base to be enter
tanned for moment by a Lee county
politician.
Mr.. Kennedy was physically infis-
posed-tired out, and came home for
a short rest, and under these circum-
stance he would hardly announce MS
arrival with brass band Tho Lee
county newspapers knew he was IN
Montrose, but in his physical condition
they respected his privacy, even to
the extent Of allowing the Hawk-nye

ONE CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES.

Davenport Times: One cause of
high prices is the reduction of the
hours OF labor and the shortage OF
labor coupled with high wage scales.
This results in smaller production and
the smaller output costs more per unit
of production, both because OF the
higher wages and because Of the In
creased overhead expense which must
be carried by the shorter factory
operating hours. And those factories
that are behind in orders have to
either lose business or pay overtime
for the extra time required to keep
up with orders.
One might as we'll face the facts
as ignore them. High prices may be
all right for everyone If the effect Is
more time for the average man for
recreation and for self-development.
But IL it is conceded it Is good
thing to have shorter working hours
and high wages, then there should be
no complaint about the high prices
SO long as they are within reason
and are based on the actual cost OF
production.
1t stands to reason IL everyone is
trying to get as high wages as posi-
BILE and doing as little work as may
be necessary to get higher wages.
there will be reduction OF the total
output of the country. The high
wages stimulate demand and the re-
duction OF output at the same time
gives excuse for the higher prices:
Two influences-larger demand and
lessened supply-operate In the same
direction on prices.
There is an old saying, you can't
have your cake and eat 1t" This
precisely fits the situation az 1t is de-
veloping at the present time. II is
something every person must tnink
about
During the war everyone worked
hard and saved in every possible
way. Now everyone seems to feel
that the pressure is off and all may
enjoy a holiday without RESPONSE

zation or any other faction. 1t
is to tho whole people Of the
whole city that the policeman
owes his whole allegiance.
For policemen to declare them
selves obligated to the mandates
Of any authority separate and
distinct from the authority OF the
people Is to ignore the
sovereignty of the people from
which springs all authority. Any
organization which presumes TO

cation.

~. ,sTING FOOD A CRIME.

The cold forage plant has important
place in the economy of food conservation. 1t

staple food the vear round But when it is
used to hold food products off the market, even
until they spoil, for the purpose of holding up

GUS Warren S. Stone, head of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers. Las recently testified
that ''daily rot train of from twelve to

Arthur Capper, of Kansas, is authority for the
statement that two million pounds of foodstuffs
shipped to Chicago IN 1918 were spoiled and
had to be condemned and destroyed. Every
season hundreds Of carloads Of produce are held
up in the freight yards near the large markets
until it spoils, apparently for the purpose of
preventing a large supply and consequent fall
in prices on the market
These conditions ought not to be allowed.
The parties to such practices are just as Grim

rather than accept the prevailing market price.

HIS HISTORY NOT ON STRAIGHT.

The president in his talks in behalf of his
own league of nations scheme is careless in ac-
curate statement as to events For instance, IN
his speech at st. Louis Mr.. Wilson said:

knows, in order to make it certain that
Japan would come into the and assist to
clear the Pacific of the German fleets had prom
Used that any rights that Germany had in China
should, in the of the victory of the allies,
pass to Japan.
Mr.. Wilson represented, in way, our gov
eminent at the peace conference. He probably
is familiar or should be, with what was pre-
sented there and what the facts are; but it is a
matter of history that Great Britain and the
other governments of which the president
speaks did not make that secret agreement with
Japan until the year 1917. Japan went into the
war soon after it was declared, in 1914. At the
time the secret agreement of which the presl-
dent speaks was made with Great Britain and
the other powers, all of the German possessions
in China had been captured and there was not

That these spiritual gifts did cease
