 Many who saw it thought the after noon game was better one than the morning tussle. It is true the teams were well matched. Twombly was on the mound for Monson. So much
 had been said of his ability as a pitcher that Stafford's men may have been a little in awe of him at the
 very beginning. He struck out the
 first two men to bat, adding somewhat
 to this feeling. But Madsen hit safe ly in the second inning and much of this awe disappeared Horan pitched
 for Stafford and had the Monson team
 under his thumb at all times, allow
 ing but two hits during the entire

 nan hit a swift liner toward second
 Pallanck stopped it after a short race
 He threw to first while on the run
 and it fell short of reaching there in

 came home on Borgeson's hit. Mon
 son roOters went wild The band
 played and Bedlam reigned for sev-
 eral minutes. But in the very next
 inning Stafford tied the score and in
 the following frame they added two more runs, making the score three to one against MDnsOn. That towns rooters shouted very little during the rest of the afternoon and the band played but twice. The first Stafford run was made by Wise He singled, stole second, then pilfered third and waited there till Mack sent him in with a single. In the sixth inning, with one out and Horan on first, But Ter hit the only two sack clout of the game, sending Horan to third. Both of them came home on hit by Gilman. In the ninth inning Staf- ! ford had three men on and one out | but the next three men to bat were ! put out without reaching first. Many | Stafford people attended the after | noon game.

OVERALL CLUBS,

The overall clubs in different parts
of the country are being warned by
dealers that the fad is very apt to re-
suit in great increases in the price
of o~veralls to the wOrkingmen who
them everyday and who are in
need of them. A large increase in the
demand means II boost in price, as that
is the way business is conducted In
these times. The cost of production
is not the compelling consideration. If
the people want more than the supply,
prices are arbitrarily boosted and
profits increased. If there are 1000
900 overalls in the country, costing to
produce 81 and the selling price is So.
and there is a demand for 100000.
the price is at once doubled and the
pay SG,O00,O0O for them in
stead of only S3,O0O,00O, somebody

demand does not necessarily increase
the cost of production, but the cost OF
production in many instances has moth

THE NEBRASKA s

Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska will
have a hard time explaining the re-
suits of the Nebraska primaries to the
faithful followers of the president at
Washington. Mr.. Hitchcock and his
hand-picked candidates for delegates
to the national convention, together
with their choice for national commit
teeman, were all running upon a plat
form of absolute loyalty to the admin
istratiOn, wen to defending its extra
vagances and it's inability to cope sue
cessfully with domestic problems. 1t
was Il fight, too, among democrats, and
republicans cannot be suspected Of con-
tributing to the defeat Of the admin
istration forces, because they had n
fight of their own at the same primary
w. j. Bryan and men satisfactory to-
Mr.. Bryan were the opponents Of the
Observation-Disclosures aggregation,
and, as everybody knows, Mr.. Bryan
stands for ratification Of the peace
league treaty with the senate reserva-
tiOns and is out of harmony with the
president upon many questions now at
tracing the attention of the country.
Moreover, Mr.. Bryan has been out
spoken in his opposition to Mr.. Will
sons policies and has not tried to
evade full responsibility for his atti-
tude. Well, the result in Nebraska is
the election of ten Bryan delegates and
six Hitchcock administration repre-
sentatives, while the Bryan aggrega-
ton captured the national committee
man. =
This result was not achieved be-
cause of the weakness OF the anti
Bryan leadership, because Senator
Hitchcock is one Of the most popular
democrats in Nebraska. He is a bril-
liant campaigner and surrounded him
self with the best material he could
choose from the ranks of the party In
his state. The contest was long and
strenuous and there was Il good vote
pollcd, yet the Bryan crowd scored Il
remarkable victory and will go to the
national convention with authority to
speak for the majority sentiment OF
their state.

ing to do with the selling price.
If those who are now buying over
alls would wear them until they are
worn out it might result in some per-
manent reduction in the selling price
of other clothing, but the fad will 0 0
die out and in u few weeks the overall
clubs will have their stocks Of over
alls hung away in the closet and the
only effect will be an increased price to
the man who uses them legitimately.
The trade is advising merchants to
save their stocks of Overalls for the
workingmen who are their regular
customers for that class of goods,
which is good advice and ought to be
followed. The supply is limited, same
the supply Of nearly all manufacture
cd articles, and it will entail a real
hardship upon the working classes if
prices are materially advanced because
of the fad Of temporary buying.

The Des Moines Register copies from
the Los Angeles Times a scurrilOus
tack upon Senator Johnson to prove
that the senator is weak in California.
But the Register doesn't state that the
Times has always been against the
senator and that it is not a reliably re-
publican paper anyhow. 1t is classed
as an independent republican by the
Lord & Thomas newspaper directory,
which is the kind of a republican news
paper that the Register is. Outsiders
might quote the Register to prove that
Senator Cummins is not being support
ed by the republican newspapers Of
this state, but it would prove nothing
of the kind. At least nine-tenths of the
all-the-year-rouiid republican papers Of
Iowa are enthusiastically backing the
senator for. denomination and re-elec-
ton. The Los Angeles Times is no more
representative of republican sentiment
of California than the Register is Of
republican sentiment of Iowa.

1t must be perfectly plain that every
days labor expended in the produc-
ton of a luxury means II day less
available for the production of Il neces-
sity. The purchaser of luXuries is also
a consumer Of necessities: therefore.
the expenditure of labor in the prOduc-
ton of Injuries where there is an eX-
cessive cost of necessities, gives new
impetus to the movement of the higher
prices. Every dollar expended for a
luxury is an encouragement of the
employment of labor in the production
Of Injuries, diverting labor from the
production OF necessities. BY pur-
chasing Injuries, therefore, the con-
sumer not only deprives himself OF
some of the money with which to buy
necessities but he helps to increase the
price of the necessity he ultimately
must buy.

is A NEW THING
County Chairman Asks to
be Relieved of the Re-
.spOnsibility.

The Republican national committee
has asked Hamilton county Republi-
cans to raise a fund of $500 toward
financing the national campaign this
fall. Just what plan of action will be
decided upon to raise this money is not
vet known. J. NJ. Blake, county chair
man, has asked to be relieved of the
responsibility for raising the money and
someone else will be asked to take
charge of the "drive."
The Republican national committee
has estimated the cost of the campaign
this summer and fall and has appOr-
toned this expense to the various
states. These, in turn, have %appOrtion-
ed it to congressional districts and the
latter have made the appOrtiOnment to
the various counties.
1t is more than likely that the county
organization will appOrtiOn the $1,000
asked Of this county to the various
townships. 1t is going to be quite a
task to raise this money and it is like
ly that it can be done only through the
naming of committees in each town and
township which will be obliged to make
personal solicitation among the voters.
This kind of a campaign is a new thing
for political parties.

II STEEL TRUST.

A few days ago the Freeman-JOufna1
contained an editorial, based upon the
statement Of Judge Gary, chairman Of
the United States Steel corporation, to
the effect that that institution deserved
commentator if it had maiptained
prices at the level established by the
agreement between the corporation and
the industrial board on March q, 1919.
Judge Gary said prices of steel had not
been advanced by his industry and
would not be, in his judgment, unless
unforeseen emergencies arose
A Webster City man, an officer in one
of our manufacturing plants that CON
sOmes much steel, informs the Freeman
Journal that Judge Gary told the facts;
that the United States Steel corpora
ton, in face of rising prices in almost
everything offered for sale, had main
tanned prices as indicated.
The people have been prone to crit
icise the steel trust and it has been
rOundly condemned in years past, be-
ing charged with making unfair and
unreasonable profits. But whatever the
shortcomings of the United States Steel
corporation in years agone it is now
setting an example that should be fol-
lowed by big business SO far as it is
possible for big business to do it. If
such corporations as the Standard Oil
Company, the sugar trust, the big man
u%facturers of clothing, shoes, building
materials, etc, ETC., would sell On close
margins and protect the consumer
against u~nreasonably high prices there
would be less unrest in the country and
stable conditions would be insured in
the near future. But if things keep on
going as they have during the past
year there will be such a crash n Of
these days that big business will require
years to recover from the blow. 1t
would be wise to heed the handwriting
upon the wall. 1t is as plain as day.

The democratic primaries in Georgia,

stone of the democratic arch, went
against the administration, as they did
in Nebraska. But it is still believed
that the administration could carry

does not mean that Georgia will not
support the democratic nominee for
president, even if Mr.. Wilson should be
