Banking conditions show q marked Improvement
Money is tight, but not nearly so much 50 as a few
mouths ago. The rate Of interest is again slowly re-
ceding. That, in itself. is one Of the most hopeful
signs.
1t is announced that the government IS finding a
market for it's certificates of Indebtedness at a lower
rate than a few weeks back, and there is nothing on
the horizon to indicate a reversal of present tendencies.
That we have been able TO weather so easily the
strain that began to make itself felt early last spring
Is a good sign. There were those then who talked Of a
financial panic. There is little likelihood now of such
a contingency.
There has been much heathful dehation and some
suffering. but witlal the readjustment period through
which we are passing, and which promises a return to
something more nearly like normal, with the business
of the country sound and money in sudtciencv to meet
actual needs, has been highly beneficial regardless of
the anxiety II has caused thousands of business m-n.
There was no doubt in the mind of anyone al along
that war prices would have te come down, sooner or
later. There was a wide difference. of opinion as to
how the descent would be made. If it can be brought
about without more serious results to business and
industry than have followed price reductions so far
made, the country should consider itself fortunate.

Housewives in Elyria are still following the good
old custom Of doing the family washing on Monday
and putting the long lines Of cleaning white articles
ont in the back yard to dry. There they carefully place
the immaculate white spread. the embroidered pillow
cases, the many other articles that go to make up the
iamily wash. No one in all Elyria dare invade anoth-
er's premises TO modest the weekly wash hung out in
the open to sun and dry. But the airplane is no res
pecter of persons. nor even does it respect the family
wash ia the big back ward In EIyria- IT takes much
iu5rieating oil 10 keep these fast mail planes in good
condition and at times the oil is wasted and drops
from the machinery. 1t is released at a high altitude
and falls with much splash and force. 1t has even hit
the family wash and right there is where the trouble
started in EIyria. as in other places not visited by mail
planes the housewife objects most strenuously to anv
beavier-than-air machine dripping heavy black oil on
her wash.
ln some way it appears the drip from the planes
IS heaviest in and near Elyria. beause all complaints
come from that city. The complaints are so numerous.
SO spirited ana so insistent that the government may
be asked to cause the planes to run around Elyria and
save the family wash.
Meantime the family wash is boldly hung in the
back Yards as Of yore. because Elyria insists on its
established rights.

THE THIRD PARTY FIAsco

The Farmer-Labor party organized at Chicago a
few nights ago by the Inflated third party conven-
ton Of the "Forty-eighters gives voters with grouches
an opportunity TO relieve their minds by throwing
away their ballots.
Sane analysis Of the entire pickering. muckwack-
ing proceeding reveals nc other result of the efforts
Of the naleontents who composed the gathering, many
of whom were OF doubtful loyalty and all of whom
were OF doubtful mental clarity. It was, perhaps just
q well that the convention ended as it did, with one
faction dominating the farce and welding it to its
purposes SO thoroughly that more than onehaIf of the
delegates quit the party" before it was born and
christened.
So this latest thirdparty movement fails again,
and it is well There is no room in American politics
for three national parties. This has been proved so
often that to reiterate It is to make d trite statement
The 'Forty-eighters' made the mistake that has doom
81 most similar political movements to failure in their
i~ncipiency. They tried to weld tosethey disccntents
of various and varying shades Of opinion. all of whom
ride some fanatical hobby. but none OF whom is will
ing to ride any but his own.
From the first il was proposed to launch the poll
fical abortion on . platform Of negation. and a plat
form of negation does not appeal 10 a people whose
interest and hope lie in progress and ia the future.
