WHAT MONEY CANNOT BUY.

In this age of mad passion for
wealth and power one often hears the
remark that money is all powerful.
1t will buy anything" But will it?
A story is told in one of the maya
zines Of two governors who met at
lunch and proceeded to discuss vari-
Gus problems, among them the power
of money. One insisted there was
really nothing of value that money
could not purchase, while the other
held that the most valuable things in
life were the ones that could be had
without price. This assertion was
challenged and the one making it was
asked to name four things in all the
universe that money could not buy.
After some reflection he proceeded
as follows:
81 A baby's smile: A baby's smile
can never be purchased by offering it
money. To the soul that has so late
ly come from the place of the unborn,
the means of exchange of this world
offers no appeal. A mothers kiss, Il
fathers caress, flower, a bright-cOl-
ored toy, may win a baby'S smile, but
you cannot bargain for that smile
with gold.
80 Youth, when it is gone: The mill
will never grind with the water that
has passed" The flush of youth, the
luster of the eyes of boy i'll his
teens, the care-free happiness of the
maiden, when the years have brought
maturity, can never come again.
Ponce de Leon, in his quest for the
spring of eternal youth, realized that
fact. He knew that youth, once gone,
could never be bought again. Money
will not purchase its return, even
If heaped in piles of millions, and the
spring for which the knight so dill
igcntly searched, to insure against the
ravages Of time, was never discovered.
3. The love. of good woman: Love,
like baby's smile, cannot be bought
with gold. Many woman has sim
ulatcd love for dowry, with a hus-
band thrown in, and practiccd the
deception successfully for years, but
true love, of the kind which lasts
eternally, cannot be purchased. The

AFTER THE COAL THIEVES.

The senate committee investigating
the coal conspiracy is getting some sen.
sational facts, or alleged facts, which
seem to prove that the coal combine
pulled off some of the rawest deals
ever pulled off in this country. We
hope conditions have not been as
bad as some of the early witnesses in
dicate. One witness said government
employees had been in deals to fleece
the public and that railroad officials
had shared in the plumber.
Gee. H. Cushing, managing direc
tor Of the American Wholesale Coal as
ISOLATION, who ought to know, is the
authority for the statement. Accord
ing to the Associated Press reports
Senator Calder, chairman of the com
mittee, was furnished by Mr.. Cush
ing with the name Of one man, said
to have been principal in an opera
ton by which a group of men in gov
eminent service obtained 100000 tons
of coal, which they sold later at a pro
| fit of 100000
Railroad officials and one army Of
flcer also participated in the profit
making Mr.. Gushing was said by Chair
man Calder to have charged"
If these statements are true the
guilty ones ought to be presented with
| striped suits, have their hair cut short
and given a number in some of the
lpenitentiaries of the country. Such
damnable practices feed bolshevism
and anarchy and no punishment is toe
severe for officials, either government
al or railroad, who are guilty Of such
reprehensible conduct. Ways and
means must be found to protect the
public against such methods il gov
eminent of, by and for the people is
going to maintain it's standing in the
condolences Of the public.
| Many consumers have been able tt
!, get coal at fair prices, but many Others
have been robbed outright. The big
consumers WHO had power to cOrece de-
lliveries at contract prices escaped the
hold-up, but the average consumer
could not do that and as result paid
all the way form So to $40 per ton
for soft coal.
| 1t is to be hoped that the senate in
Investigating committee will be able tC
get at the bottom of the matter, lay
bare all the facts, and that such leg
islation as may be necessary to protect
the public against repetition of sucll
outrages in the future will be enact
ed and enforced.

w. D. Vanderlip, who has just re-
turned from Russia With a GO year
lease in his pocket for a large slice OF
Siberia, says the Russian government
is functioning well and that conditions
in the empire of the late czar are not
SO bad as have been reported. He also
intimates that the Lenine and TrOtzky
government is on the square. This is
in REPUTATION Of nearly all reports com
ing from Russia and some people have
been unkind enough to insinuate that
the bringing back to the United States
favorable impressions of Russia is a
part of the consideration Of the lease
But we all hope Vanderlip is telling
the truth. Ii he, is, of course Russia
will pay the honest debt she owes the
United States, and the money would
come quite handy any old time Lenint
and Trotzky see fit to remit. unless
they delay the date of payment SO long
that this country shall have recovered
fully from the effects Of the war.

PASS 1T ALONG.

Congressman Fordney of Michigan,
chairman of the house ways and means
committee, doesn't believe that the
public should be further burdened
with taxation to pay off the obligations
Of the government that become due in
the spring of 1923, amounting to some
thing like $7,5OO,OOO,OOO. Mr.. Fordney
| is in favor Of refunding this debt on
long or short time bonds, whichever
plan appears the best when the time
of maturity approaches. 1T Is my
personal conviction" says Mr.. Ford
iney, "that it would be wise for congress
Eto refund those government obligations
falling due, and reduce taxation to a
point where our revenues will meet
government running expenses. do
not believe we can collect from the peO-
pie sufficient money to meet our ordi-
nary running expenses and materially
reduce the government obligations in
that length Of time The Freeman
Journal quite agrees with the Michigan
statesman. The people have been tax
ed to the tune OF about $16,O00,OOO, 900
already to defray war expenses and 1t
is time something were done to reduce
the burden by transferring big part
OF it to future generations who will en-
joy the fruits of the great victory won
without contributing very much to it.
Pass the tax along. 1t may help the
people of tomorrow appreciate the
blnefits Of peace.

JAPAN is SERIOUS.

The Des Moines Register, possibly
though force of habit, ridiculed the
PROPOSAL Of Senator Borah for an
agreement between the United States,
Great Britain and Japan to limit
ornaments, but Japan seems to take
the matter seriously and the press OF
that country is inclined to favor the
suggestion. A Toxic dispatch to the
Register says:
1.-THE japanese press is manifesting
great interest in the proposal Of SEN
ator Borah Of Idaho for a triparite
naval agreement under which the
United States, Great Britain and Japan
would pledge themselves to limitation
Of naval ornaments.
"In general the newspapers favor
the idea but regard Japan's present
program as legitimate one.
"In expressing strong approval OF
the Borah proposal the Mainichi Shin
bun of Osaka compares Japan's yearly
expenditure of 1O,O0O,OO0 yen fol
teachers salaries with the 5OO,O00,-
600 yen naval expenditure.
ut declares the present rate of eX,
penditure for the navy is suicidal and
that it is the duty Of statesmen to re-
move the causes which necessitate such
large ornaments
''Of the Toxic papers, the Jill Shin.
20 expresses the hope that the senate
will pass the Borah resolution as a
means Of relieving the world from a
fresh outbreak Of rivalry in ornaments
This newspaper thinks Americas in
fention to have the first navy in the
world will cause England to expand
her building and lead to new race
in naval enlargement.
"The Nichi Nichi Shimbun holds that
Japan's, geographical and international
position does not permit her to indulge
in disarmament"
II Great Britain, Japan and the
United States, the three leading naval
powers of the world, would agree to
limit ornaments and honor the agree.
ments, as they undoubtedly would, a
big load would be taken from the
backs of the taxpayers of the three
countries. Moreover, it is likely that
other countries would follow che
same proceeding and the end of the
race in naval construction would be
in sight. Great Britain now has the
strongest navy in the world, the United
States is second and Japan third.
Before the war Germany was contest
ing with Japan for third place.

Lars Bladine as successor to LOUIS
Murphy. revenue collector, looks good
to the Freeman Journal. Mr.. Bladine
resided for a year or two in Webster
CITY before removing to Cedar Falls
aud made many warm friends mere
who would be glad to see him get the
appointment. He is capable man OF
affairs and has won place i'll the
business, commercial and political life
of the state because of his own merit.
He began life as printers devil and
worked his way to the ownership and
editorship Of one of the best newspa-
pxrs in the state. There is no better
Republican anywhere and as man and
citizen he has no superiors. Inc
Freeman-J ournal understands that
while he is. not an active candidate for
the position of collector he would ac-
oept the position and devote his time
to its duties. Here's hoping he will
get it.

FUTURE OF GRAIN PRICES.

With occasional eXceptions-when
crops are unusually large, as this year
the outlook for good prices of grain
produced in the United States is GER
taiply reassuring, because production
here at home cannot long exceed con-
sumption, as the percentage of farm
ers to the whole number Of population
is gradually decreasing. In 1910, 81
per cent of all the people lived upon
farms and in unincOrpOrated villages.
In 1920 the percentage OF farmers and
village dwellers had fallen. to 3S per
cent of the total. This means an in
creased demand. for farm products at
reasonably good prices except in years
when production is abnormal.
We will have to depend less and less
upon foreign markets. During the
four year period preceding the great
war the expectation of all grains from
the United States amounted to only
3S of the total crop. The entire pro-
ductiOn of grain in the United States
in 1901, 1911-12, 1928 and 1914
was as follows: 4,916, AL 900, AGO.
4s3. 900, 5,523,34O,OOO, 4,351, 7O7, 600,
while the average number of bushels
exported each of those years amounted
To 175.3330,OO0. The expectation Of
corn is very small percentage OF
tie total grains exported and Of the
corn produced. The corn crop for the
four years preceding the war was as
follows: 2,SS6, 100000, 1928, S99, 600,
s, 124, 100000, 2,446,96SOOO. Exporta-
lions of corn: 65,72O,OOO, 42,O17 600,
80, 1914, 600, 1O,S93,00O. The percentage
OF corn exports going down from less
than 2h per cent in 1901 to less
than one half of one per cent in 1913
IA.
When the great war broke Of course
the demand for our cereals greatly in
creased. Still expectations of corn
were very small percentage Of the
total crop, amounting approximately
from 2T to per cent, while exports
Of all grains during the years of the
war period averaged 50 per cent.
Now then, when the home demand
takes all these expectations, which are
comparatively small, how can grain
prices rule other than at least fair?
II the increase in population means
anything il means that in the neay
future the United States will not pro-
dure more grain than is necessary -

panics;; and unless society shall find
some means of overcoming. these glar-
ing and needless faults of the existing
order, the wiser heads may Soon find
it impossible to keep the hotter heads
from a forcible attempt to try some
OF the panaceas that the agitators have
painted in glowing colors.

a humanitarian task, but a task whose
solution will benefit all with whom
Jim's wages would normally be spent,
and provide an antidote against the
spread of revolutionary propaganda.
And what is the answer? 1t is part
ly, of course, in further refinements of
our systems of banking, credits, trans
portation, merchandising, industrial re-
lations, taxation, and other factors af-
fecting business stability. Jim Smith
may hope that these refinements will
insure steady job for his young son
some decades hence; but Jim wants a
job now, and the public welfare de-
mands that he have job now. 1t de-
mands also that our governments
municipal, county, state and national
shall speedily catch up with the con-
struction of public improvements which
ought to be built ere this but for the
setback Of the war. The public well
fare is in need, too, of millions OF new
homes to provide decent housing for
Americas wage-earners. Industrial
housing corporations must supplement
the work of the speculative builders.
Here, then, is the opportunity for the
clear heads to stimulate business by
utilizing as many of the unemployed as
may be possible in building houses and
constructing public works. Maybe
part of the cost of the houses will have
to be written off some day by the in
dustrial housing corporations that
build them; and maybe the roads,
bridges, water works and sewerage sys-
TENS and other public improvements
could be built cheaper a year or two
hence; but if meanwhile society is los
ing the productive abilities of Jim and
John and Jacob, and if they have join
ed the groups who are talking red as
well as seeing red the net loss to
society will be vastly greater than any
possible shrinkage in values in houses
or public improvements constructed at
1921 prices.

That German spy certainly had the

Rintelin been unable to secure counsel

WHEN is AN AUTO A LUXURY?

Manchester Press: When is the
automobile II luxury? Take a fam
lily of five people, who want to make
a trip from Manchester to Dubuque
and return. Railroad fare for the five
will cost them $3.50. BY automobile
the expense (averaging II miles to the
gallon of gasoline), would be $50.
OF course, there would be some wear
and tear on tires and motor, but the
average ear is driven about so many
miles during the year. anyway, anu
might as well he used for such Il trip
az I'M any other manner. This brings
up again the desirability of improved
roads-roads that can be used during
all the year. 1t would be wonderful
thing for the people of this section If
we had hard surfaced roads leading to
Dubuque, Waterloo and Cedar Rapids
trunk lines that would enable people
to reach interior trading points. They
will come i'm time, and when they do,
everybody will wonder how in the
world we got along without them all
these years.

The Democrats of this state have no
license to whine at whatever changes
the Republican legislature and Cover
nor make in the primary law, so far
as nominations for state officers are
concerned. because they (the Demo
orats) do not use the primary to nomi-
nate candidates for such officers. A
few of the self-appointed bosses meet
in Des Moines, usually at the Slavery
as they did this year, and nominate a
ticket to suit themselves. Then the
rank and file of the party submit as
meekly as lambs and ratify the selec'
tions made by the bosses. Yet some
Of the prominent Democrats" who
took part this year in the meeting at
the Slavery have the nerve to say that
the next legislature is going to change
the primary law so the people will
have less to say about who shall be
nominated. Their course in this mat
ter reminds us of some of Lenines
distortions in behalf of the dear peo-
pie.

CANCELLING ORDERS.

Oelwein 1Owan: a leading business
house recently issued this opinion in
regard to the habit of cancelling goods
il process of being made in factories:
',Ihere is seeming lack of honorable
business principles involved in the
wholesale cancellation of orders given
in good faith, with Il result that our
manufacturing enterprises have been
greatly unsettled and thrown, into con-
ditiop Of almost business chaos.'
Bitter complaint comes from manu-
featuring centers Of cancellation of or
dcrs. Many factories have their ware
houses loaded to the doors with re-
turned goods and orders cancelled
while in process of manufacture. All
these goods will have to be sold at
sacrifice prices. Special cuts will have
to be made on account of style changes
that will take place before they can
be marketed. This will hold up bust
ness, throw labor out Of employment
and aggravate industrial depression.
However, retail merchants have been
pressed very hard by manufacturers,
and have often had to buy a long way
ahead in order to get goods needed for
their trade. 1t is Il great hardship,
when the trade situation changes radi-
cally between time Of giving an order
and time when it can be delivered, to
have to accept orders bought Mt prices
far above the present market. They
naturally argue that manufacturers
who were making handsome profit on
the original order can best afford to
take a loss.
When manufacturers are slow in de-
liyering orders, they ought to expect
10 make some adjustment if trade con-
ditions change radically. Manufac.
t,irers that have kept prices down and
considered carefully the interests OF
their customers. have Jared much bet
ter than others. Merchants are slow
to make demands on concerns who
show that spirit toward their custO-
