CHICAGO. Nov. 13.-Corn advanced in nrice today. strengthened by the inward movement of the New York stock market and by scarcity of rural offerings. The close was firm, 11sc to 2gc net higher. with December s192H to s1.321h. and May s1.26A to s1261b. Oats gained 1c@1Sc to 11hc N15s. The outcome in provisions varied from 12c decline to rise Of % cents.
 It was not until after midday that the corn market showed substantial gains. Al the opening some weakness was eident. owing to uncertainty over money rates and tn the fact that the weather was ideal for hUsking.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-When call money rate sbroke to six per cent in the final hour of trading today, the stock market Tebounded from US BOW levels and closed at appreciaOle ad- vances throughout the list. Trading was heavy before the close, and many stocks, notably motors, oils, steels, equipments, affiliated incustrials, and scores of miscellaneous specialties, showed gains for the day of rom 5 to 20 points. Sales approximated g. 200. .000 shares!
 Rates for call loans held at 16 per cent until about o'clock. Then they broke to F and rapidly went to 6, the the normal rate. This was believed to mark the passing of the stringent money period. Leaders in the spirited rally which followed were the issues which broke most severely yesterday and day before.
 The market was steadier at the opening today, but the initial high rates for call money caused an avalanche of selling in the next hour or so.
 One of the leaders of the spirited rally was General Motors, which open ed at f5-point rise, only to lose its advantage and finally advanced by leaps and bounds to 3==, az e=.reme recovery of 45 points. Mexican Pc troleum, in which support seemed al- most altogether lacking yesterday, rose more than 30 points.
 Trading in bonds was confusing, recessions in industrials be.ng pal anced by the strength of ras's. Liber- ty issues made up part of their early heaviness. Total sales, par value, s17.S5O,OO0. Old United States, bonds were unchanged on call.
 NEW YORK, Nov. Manifestations that stable conditions in the money market may soon be restored and con , current signs that the bears" or short interest had over-extended their position, caused a vigorous rally in the stock market today.
 In several noteworth yfnstances from one-third to one-halt or the re- cent severe price depreciations were recopered, while in a few isolated cases the rebound was carried to greater lengths.
 This improvement was not effected, however. until several of the better known speculative shares were de pressed to lower levels than those reached Tn the demoralized markets of the two preceding sessions.
 The. unsettlement which succeeded the early rally was mainly due td the first quotations for call money, these being fixed at the new maxiniuns Of 15 to Is per cent.
 The 16 per cent rate prevailed untli the last hour. when offerings of sur plus supplies by brokers, whose money holdings exceeded their re- ouirements, forced the rate down to 12 per cent. with per cent the nor nal rate ruling at the close.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS is A
PARTY ISSUE.

while there are many democrats
who refuse to support President Will
son in his league of nations scheme,
there is no doubt that the democratic
national organization is back of him
and will use all it's power to assist the
president in forcing acceptance Of the
league by the senate. The league
therefore has become a party measure
and it must be so regarded by the re-
publican party. In fact, as the New
York Sun forcibly points out, "if Am
erica is to defeat the Wilson scheme
OF league of nations, 1t must defeat
it through the organized forces of the
republican party" The question is
perhaps the most momentous that has
confronted the people Of the United
States since the civil war. 1t is in
fact question whether we are to re-
main free and independent nation

OUR REAL sELF.iNTEREsT.
Boston News Bureau)

tDOSlUH xNtN0 Daf Caot
We went TO war when and not until
we, the people of the United States,
understood that we were likely to be
the next victim If We failed TO help
France and England lick Germany.
Our object in the war was to crush
the power of Germany so that 1t would
cease to be menace to our own
safety.
1t tickles our vanity to say that we
went to war to make the world safe
for democracy. Until the danger to
our own democracy was realized there
was precious little practical interest
taken in the safety of other democra-
Giles, Belgium for example. Still we
prefer the idealistic rhetorical false
hood to the somewhat commonplace
fact
We are now asked to depart from
our traditional and successful foreign
policy established for 125 years.
Though fine phrases about the cause
of human rights and justice may
again flatter our vanity, there is only
one valid reason for the change; It is
that our national security demands 1t.
So long as our geographical isolation
constituted a sure protection against
European attack, our traditional pol
Icy of aloofness fulfilled the wise de-
mands of our national self-interest.
The progress Of military and naval
invention has imperceptibly wrought
profound change in our national sit
uation; and so it has come about that
from August, 1914, to July, 1918, our
protection against Germany's mad am
bition to dominate the world was not
our geographical position; it was the
British navy and the French army.
The war ended with Germany in
! tact, sullen, with no appreciate
change of heart or ambition. For our
cwn future protection against future
outbreak from Germany. circumstances
have placed us where we must form
an alliance with European powers.
A close alliance between the. United
States, Great Britain and France
would probably fully secure our safe
| ty and would incidentally secure the
peace of the world as fully as the pro-
posed league. But when once 1t Is
recognized that fundamentals have
changed so that we must enter some
European alliance, the number of our
allies becomes by comparison mat
ter of detail.
We might as we'll recognize that as
the price of our participation in the
league we will be involved in some
very Sdisagreeable obligations. While
no power can be compelled by the
league to become a mandatory, the
moral obligation can not as practl-
cal matter be avoided. This means in
all probability that it will be up to the
United States at least to take care of
Armenia, involving the maintenance
of large army in Asia for many
years to come
We may then console ourselves with
the reflection that we took our COM
fort in 1914, 1915, and 1916, when
France and England were making
their fearful sacrifice in our common
cause, while "he kept us out Of war"
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1919-03-27

or to enter into league dominated
and controlled by European and Ash
attic nations and under me constitu'
ton of which we would surrender oul
right TO determine questions upor
which our happiness and prosperit,
depend. Republican senators have
voiced their determined opposition t.
this international conspiracy and they
must have the support Of the republi'
can party in order to make their pro
test effective. Further discussing thi!
question, the Sun says:
Organization must be met with
organization. There Is no other
way. There Is no other force save
the republican party capable OF
meeting the democratic hordes on
the fields Of combat and scattering
them to the four winds. Disor
ganized opposition to the Wilson
league will count for nothing
against the highly organized DEM
ocratic party, answering to the
party whip welded by the strong
right hand of'the president.
"ro say at this stage Of the pro-
ceedings that the Wilson league
scheme should not become party
issue when it is already a NAM
moth party issue with the demo-
cratic party is to say in effect that
the league should have no oppo-
sition at all.
such a conclusion may be good
enough for some of us, but thank
God it is not good enough for all
of us. There are some Americans
still among us, the men and wo-
men of the great republican party
as a whole, who ring true to the
ideals of the fathers who founded
this free and independent nation
with the republican party the
die Is cast 1t must go on and sus-
tain its great party leaders OF the
United States senate, men OF cour-
age and patriotism who have
pledged themselves to overthrow
this Wilson scheme. 1t is do this
or through inaction and indecision
commit political suicide. The
League of Nations is a gripping
phrase, meaning the elimination OF
war; but the republican men and
women of America are now awak-
ening to the full meaning of this
denationalizing covenant that Mr..
Wilson with his democratic party
at his back is determined to force
through"

STARTLING FIGURES ON Gov
EMINENT RAlLRoADlNG.

Without taking into account the
wage advances for railroad employees,
which are computed at $SO0,00O,00O a
year, the Railway Age is authority for
the statement that the operating ex-
penses of railroads increased $685., 00O,-
900 from 1917 to 1918. We were told
by Mr.. McAdoo and other spokesman
for, the administration, following the
executive order by the president which
transferred the transportation lines
from private to government control,
that unified operation would effect
large economies, the implication being
that when the people found from prac-
teal experience the advantages Of the
change, the long mooted question of
would be finally settled and the rail-
reads would never return to private
ownership, How well this prediction
has been borne out as indicated by the
enormous increase in operating ex-
penses is shown by the figures above
Unffcation was accomplished. Ter
minals We're consolidated, many off
cial positions were abolished, freight
was dispatched by the most direct
routes and train service was discon-
tinued. These so-called economies
however, were offset by large increases
in wages paid to railroad employees,
and it has been shown that on many
lines the number Of employees actually
increased in spite Of the fact that less
business was being handled. To meet
the emergency freight rates through
out the country were advanced rs per
cent and passenger rates on eastern
lines were increased SO per cent. But
even this did not stem the tide of the
higher operating expenses, and con-
fronted with the great shortage, it has
now been officially announced that the
plans for railroad extension and bet
terments have been abandoned for this
year. Mr.. McAdoo found it easy to
unity and raise wages while the war
was on; and he evidently knew when
t. turn the job over to a successor. In
adequate and inefficient service and
enormous increase in operating ex-
penses is the net result of government
control.

How about this? Discharged SOL
diers receive a bonus of $50 and girls
retained in government service receive
a bonus of $24O with big increase in
salaries. Does the government owe
these girls more than it does the men
who faced death in France? AS one
soldier says: Washington keeps it's
girls and the soldier keeps his uniform
because he can not buy suit" Such
condition should be remedied at the
next session of congress, Bills have
already been prepared to give the men
years pay, and other advantages. IL
the government can afford $240 bon
us for it's girl war workers. 1t can at
ford a substantial bonus for the men
who won the war. Think 1t over!

homie laws lead only to suffering for

in the ultimate analysis, barring ille-
gal acts, this relation maintains. The
leader who continually advocates less
labor with higher pay-and, alas!
there are many such leaders-may be
taking the course of least resistance,
but, though perhaps retaining the es-
TEEN of his fellow members, he is
surely leading them into serious trou-
bile, for he is advocating and promot-
ing an economic fallacy.
The leader who threatens to tie up
the industries of a community like
New York, and attempts to gain his
point through the suffering and incon-
venience of the people because he be-
lieves he has the physical strength,
rather than through an appeal to the
intelligence of those served, knows in
his own mind that he is not advocat-
ing just cause, and that he has no
argument with which to convince the
public. Such leader has not the
welfare of his union or that of the
public at heart
Never was there such an opportun-
ity for union labor to make good as
today; never such an opportunity for
leaders to guide their members along
the path that would tend to hold their
