LUMBER PRICES.

To The News Sclmitar:
There have appeared in the different
papers OF our country, many articles
from different millmen stating many
things to prove that they are not re-
snonsible for the high price Of lumber.
Now they say lumber is so cheap
less than the price OF production-that
they will have to close down
These statements are positively false,
as investigation WIN prove
The fact Is that there Is not a mill in
this country that can not make a for
tune and sell lumber at half what they
want for II today.
Ever since the government suits
against the combination Of sawmills.
they have done everything to show that
they are responsible for the exorbitant
prices Of lumber refusing TO do much

The lumber manufacturers are trying
to force builders 10 pay from three 20
five times as much for lumber, when
the production should not cost twice as

There are hundreds Of people in this
city ready to build homes, but cant af-

fact is, they are waiting for lumber to

These taxes were imposed to meet a

past. Both Of the major political par
ties Of the nation have declared that
the continuance OF the taxes would
hinder industrial progress in
America and that hence they should
be largely modified. In consideration of
the fact that unless that modification
Is accomplished at the next session Of
Congress the taxes will have to be
continued for another year it cannot
be too strongly urged that there be

the labor vote in Saxony led all other
parties by nearly 100000. the ajority
vote in the recent election cast for
this party was only about 10000. This
is taken as flaming warning signal"
by the vorwaerts, the socialist organ,
which admonishes the German pro-
letariat that the radical tactics have
caused reaction on the part Of the
bourgeoise classes which are in the
ma ajority. 1t does not follow that this
anti-radical development means q re.
action toward. monarchism. Germany
can continue on a republican basis
without yielding to the bolshevik idea
that has been SO widely prevalent
since the end Of the war. It is a good

Haziug Strike Fails.

The strike at st. Johns College has
been called of. The students have
surrendered Internationally. They are
to return at once to their studies. and
when the school has been restored to
normal certain complaints against the
commandant OF cadets and other mat
ters will be taken into consideration.
The hazing trouble, it appears. is not
all. The attempt Of the trustees and
faculty to stamp out this evil merely
brought matters to crisis.
In this instance the students made
the mistake Of putting their right to
haze ahead of their right to ask for
more congenial instructors. They had
no right to haze and when they put
their case on that basis they lost their
ground of protest. A student body has
undoubtedly right to be heard in re-
spect to the faculty. though not. the
right of dictation. Discipline does not
require uncomplaining submission to
all conditions.
In the case al Annapolis the situa
ton has been somewhat complicated
by the fact that the hazing at st.
Johns College was largely inspired
by that practiced at the Naval Acad-
emy. The Secretary of the Navy is
endea voring to eradicate haZing from
the big government training school.
and there was undoubtedly a sympa-
thetic feeling between the students Of
st. Johns and those at the academy.
But the situation in the two places is
vastly different. For the Naval Acad-
emy can and will 60 on even il the
entire student body quits or is dis
missed. as there would be no lack Of
applicants for admission in such
case. Whereas the other institution
must have students and is not assured
of them. On the other hand, a cadet
.'walkout" at the academy is impos-
sible because every student there is
subject to naval discipline and pun.
ishment can be administered to any
lad who attempts to leave the institu.
tion without permission.

Pilgrims and Radicals.

Three hundred years ago a band of
men and women and children landed
at Plymouth on Cape Cod, having left
England in a little vessel called the
Mayfiower sixty-three days before. This
was brave adventure, striking forth
across the uncharted sea for a prac-
tically unknown land. They came
westward seeking freedom of con-
science and belief. They had no po-
liticaI thought, but merely wanted to
establish on these shores a community
in which they could worship as they
chose without the trammels Of an op-
pressipe supervision.
The country is now celebra ting the
landing OF the Pilgrims in a series Of
exercises and pageants,
beginning here tonight with a cere-
monial procession Of suitable charac-
ter. The anniversary so marked IL a
significant item in the calendar of the
new republic Of the west. which since
the Mayhower touched the American
ness into land Of los, ,000 900 people.
Today there are at work in this
country certain elements Of discomfort
inspired by influences from overseas,
many of them direct migrants to this
land for the purpose Of fomenting
trouble. They call themselves pioneers
OF liberty. pilgrims Of the new free
conscience. The country generally
styles them bolsheviks. anarchists. de-
stroyers OF orderly society and good
government.
Three hundred years ago the Pill
grims asked merely the right to make
their homes on the edge Of the wilder
ness and to live in peace with the abort.
gines. and to lead the lives their faith
dictated. without interference. The
pilgrims" Of 1920 are not 50 modest.
They want to transform America into
a soviet, to destroy the rights Of all
others and to reduce this country to
the basis Of common misery like that
prevailing In Russia.
The Pilgrim fathers Of 1920 succeed
ed because they were right. The rad
icals of 1920 viii fail because they are
wrong. The great and prosperous and
populous country that has developed
since the landing of the Maynower is
not to be reduced to anarchy. The
same spirit that was brought to the
new shores 800 years ago will now
make certain the salvation Of Ameri.
can institutions against the boring and
blasting tactics Of the radicals who
are seeking to nap and undermine the
republic.

The New Order in America.

In q press report from Geneva this
appears:
The result of the presidential elec-
tion in the United States has been a
topic Of conversation among delegates
here, but there has been no indication
that any effort has been made to get
in touch with either Washington or
Senator Harding"
Although cables from several Euro.
pean capitals have indicated keen
desire on the subject. it is much too
soon for any nation to get in touch"
with Senator Harding on public af.
fairs. He himself is not yet in touch
with the responsibilities that have
been laid upon him, and will not be
for several months. He has yet to
select his cabinet. He has not yet met
the new men who will sit in the new
Senate
The President.elect has made it suf-
ficiently plain that the new order Of
things will be based upon consulta-
ton. He intends to advise with his
advisers. The members of his cabi-
net will be on hand at all times. The
members Of the Senate, who share the
treaty-making power with him. and
pass upon his appointments to office,
will be at his call whenever he needs
them.
There need not. and probably will
not. be delay about any important
question once the new order begins
to function. Mr.. Harding has had
large experience in Office. and is rea.
sonably certain to call around him ex.
perienced men. He well understand
how very important at this time ex.
perience is to those charged with af-
fairs Of state. The state is a big, and
growing, proposition, and more de-
pends now than ever before on how
Its affairs are conducted.

men should take hold of it as soon as
possible. -:
STILL there is time. The next ma.
tional election is two years away. The
Stxty-eighth Congress will not be
chosen until November, 1922.
There Is revival of criticism OF
Gov. Cox for declining the services Of
Homer Cummings in the campaign.
Mr.. Cummings had built up an excel.
lent organization. and was ready and
willing to direct 1t in the candidate's q
behalf. But the candidate decided
upon, and made. a change. which
brought an untried man into the equa.
ton.
Mr.. Cummings. however, competent
and familiar with the situation as he
was. could not have saved the day.
The voters in their hearts and minds
had decreed q change. and were await.
ing the opportunity to order it. The
democracy would have lost under any
