There are signs of a fundamental
change in the business outlook today"
F. II. Sisson of the Guaranty Trust
company said to the convention OF
manufacturers this week. "Mer-
chants are more hesitant, in response
to a marked reduction in the intensity
OF the demand for various classes of
goods. There is a noticeable slack
ening of the current requirements in
various lines. This influence IL being
felt in the tendency to reduce the
prices OF goods already produced and
awaiting consumption. How far this
will go in reducing the physical vol
ume OF goods to be produced depends
upon the degree to which the curtail-
ment OF demand is merely reaction
against high prices"

CAUTION IN CONGRESS.

The proposed bonus legislation is
| regarded by the New York Sun as an
attempt to buy the votes of the SOL
diers. Possibly the beneficiarfes may
feel the same way about It and while
taking the money they may vote for
the other man.
Indications point to postponement
of congressional action until after the
recess in June; and there are prophets
who claim that If SO long delayed it
will not reappear until after the No
clans of both parties find it quite i'm
possible to decide on policy that will
surely prove helpful in vote getting.
Certain facts now obtrude, says the
washington Herald, that did not lie
so near the surface a fortnight ago.
The legion or soldier vote" is by no
means so united in demand for aid as
it was thought was the case. Pro-
tests against "bonus" legislation on the
scale planned, and at this crisis in the

disregarded.
II informal action by Democrat and
'insurgent', Republican members of
the house be conclusive. such legisla-
ton when passed must appear to put
the incident of taxation on the few,
not the many. The cost of living for
the consumer must not be further in
creased. If the bills are to be paid
they must be settled mainly by war
profits.
In whatever form the legislation
comes from the house it must expect
attack in the senate of the sort indi-
Gated by Senator Themass speech.
Senators, because of their long tenure
of office, have less to fear frem any
temporary criticism by disappointed
claimants for aid.
Whatever the outcome of this con-
troversy may be, continues the Herald,
the fact that it RACES Indicates anew

repeatedly had said he didn't want the
nomination and weuldn't take It.
What will Henry do?" somebody
asked Mort. Well said Mort.
Henry is perfectly sincere. He doesn't
want the nomination. He thinks he
isn't going to take it. He wants to-
get back under the old rooftree- But
they'll hold a pewwow over him in the
convention. Somebody will make
rousing speech and in the end Henry
say, 'I'll take it, 1t was even SO.
They held the pewwow. Raymond
Robins made the speech. And Henry

; ..i'll take it." They beat him at the
November election, and that was the

but Henry was the first member of
the organization in Kansas openly TO
break for him. Early in 1871 he gave
out an interview to the Kansas
Star tearing the president to shreds.
The interview amazed Kansas. 1t was
a long time before anybody knew the
story. Finally it leaked out. The
PRESIDENT had gone tie sleep on Henry.
Henry had been a reception commits
tee to receive the president. The re-
ception involved a railway journey to-
gether of some fifty or sixty miles.
The president was tired and worn
from campaigning. He needed rest
and sleep. Henry was fresh and talk
alive As ffenry's mellifluous voice
fell upon his ear the president dropped
/ into needed slumber. and he slept
thru the greater portion of Henry's
discourse. That, at least, is the story.

THE SLUMP IN PRICES.

Evidences indicate a serious effort
on the part of the commercial inter
ests to reduce price levels systemati-
cally in hopes of avoiding a disastrous
break in markets. Several great retail
concerns in New York, Philadelphia
and Boston have announced reductions
of prices running without reservation
thru their entire stocks and amount
ing to from 20 to rs per cent. The
sincerity of purpose of these CONNER
cial leaders las passed unchallenged
and the event has been hailed in many
quarters as a sane precaution.
Particularly has the effect been felt
in the textile industries The report is
current in the east that lessened de-
mand for fabrics of wooden and cotton
are regarded as forecasting a general
slump. Manufacturers of cloth are
puzzled over an unprecedented NUM-
Der of cancellations of orders, tho there
is an attempt to attribute this to STRIFE
culties with transportation.
There is one factor, however, says
the Detroit News, which seems to be
overlooked-the power of suggestion
upon the public mind. What every
body is saying, everybody will event
ually do. A few months ago it was
the common talk that because of pros
perity and the abundance of money,
people would pay any price. 1t be-
came popular to say even that the peo-
pie preferred to pay the higher prices,
and doubtless under the influence OF
this suggestion the public generally
paid the price ana asked ne aues-
tions." Such a frame of mind encour-
aged Rrofiteering. II the people ex-
pected to be relieved of their super
fluous money, there were dealers will
ing to accommodate.
But within recent days the pendu-
lum has swung toward sanity. The
overall movement, while in its direct
application probably insignificant, in
troduced into public thought the sug-
gestion OF economy. The consumer,
long on the defensive, suddenly real
lied he had the moral support of his
fellows IL he followed his inclination
to resist imposition. Wear old
clothes" Boycott the profiteer," and
\ like, slogans changed the frame OF
mind of many people and the reflex
of this sentiment was felt in CONNER
cial circles. The people who foot the
bills can always control the situation
IL they care to DO So

A spokesman for the railway broth
erhoods and unions recently declared
that probably the most aggravated
factor in the situation from the labor
standpoint is that the same powerful
interests which are so manifestly ex-
plotting the needs of the public and
the toll of the workers have embarked
upon a deliberate campaign of propa-
ganda and Misrepresentation to fasten
Upon labor the responsibility for high
prices; in other words, to play off the
two sets of victims. the public and the
workers against each other" Admit
ting that the speaker was right still
labor can't escape it's share of respon-
sibility for high prices to the extent
that they have proceeded from strikes.
