Another Land Mark Removed.

Henry Mathews, well known through.
out this section for over half a century,
is now of memory only, He died at
the new General Hospital. Dodgeville,
last Saturday afternoon. Feb 2Sth, of
old age and complications. having lived
50 years, 6 months and 26 days.
Deceased was born in Lebanon, Ohio,
August 2, 1887, and came to this section
of Wisconsin sixty-six years ago. Dnr-
ing the major part of his prime life
period his home was in the vicinity Of
Fayette, southeast of this city. Being
robust and possessing nature to miss
nothing of any Importance that took
place in any town or city hereabouts;
he in that way became as well known
in these parts in all probability as any
person.
Henry was strong, willing farm
worker, and in fact any other labor he
could perform he entered into with zeal
We feel safe in expressing the belief
that no citizen of southwestern Wis
consin enjoyed in giving freely of his
time and labor, night or day, TO those
in distress more than Hen" Mathews.
With it all he was genial. likable.
For the last dozen or more years he
was of this city and ever industrious and
buoyant up to within short while be-
fore entering the hospital, which was
few days before last Christmas.
The body was brought to this city for
burial, which took place from the home
of his niece, Mrs. w. j. Jeuck. Rev.
A. II. Schoenfeld officiating. Members
of the M. W. of A. pronounced com

1.-THE NEED OF THE HOUR"

In his publication, "Babson's Baron
eter " issued at Boston, Roger w. Bah
son, the editor. wrote personally
signed letter editorial to Merchants,
Bankers and Investors entitled The
Need of the Hour" This was last
September The Tribune endorses Mr..
Babson's views. The reader who can
not may well keep mum, as he most
likely will The meat of the letter is
as follows:
The need of the hour is not more
legislation The need of the hour is
more religion. More religion is needed
everywhere from the halls of Congress
to the factories, mines, and forests.
II is one thing to talk about plans and
policies, but a plan and policy without
religious motive is like watch with
out spring or body without the breath
of life. The trouble to-day is that we
are trying to hatch chickens from sterile
eggs. We may have the finest incuba-
tor in the world, but unless the eggs
have the germ of life in them, all our
efforts are of no avail
1.-The solving of the labor problem is
wholly a question of religion. The
ge-worker will never be satisfied
with higher wages and shorter hours
any more than you and | are satisfied
with more profits and bigger house.
Things never did satisfy any one and
never will Satisfaction and content
ment are matters of religion. Com
munities and industries where right mo-
tives are paramount have no serious
labor troubles.
when both employer and wage
worker honestly believe we are in this
world to serve others, the labor problem
will be Golved; but not until then. We en-
ployers should learn to give up and
labor should wake up. However, Meth
er of US will do it except as we are act
uated by religious motives. We all
llttu a new OuhiOOh VII Hlts iltW POliAi-
cal policy, new industrial policy, a
new social policy. The old politics
founded on fear and striving only for
protection has fulfilled its usefulness.
We need new politics based on faith
and striving for production.
Meanwhile what is happening in our
churches? They are going to seed.
The ministfs are paid starvation wages
and the whole Church industry lacks
pep and imagination. And yet the
Church is the only organization in exist
ence for generating right motives in
man. Schools develop intellect, thea
ters and novels foster passion, but the
Church is the sole organization which
develops those good motives of love,
sympathy. hope and inspiration on which
the industrial salvation of the world
depends But that organization is
asleep. and other agencies which de-
velop hate, jealousy, and fear are run
ming rampant.

Wheat Again Weak

Offers From Farm
Selling Pressure OH British
Labor Situation Factor in
Decline; Large Purchases
Cash Supplies Reported

The wheat market was weak under
heavy general selling and prices closed
with net losses of SIC. At the low
point of the day the market was down
26 to 2S cents from the high point Of
last Saturday, and witlrin u to 91ac
of the low point of the season made on
October 5.
The industrial situation in Great
Britain. including the reports that rail
road workers would go out in sympa
thy with the coal men, was one Of the
seemed to be a general absence of con-
fidcnce.
The main pressure in the market,
however, seemed TO come from the
FARMS both in Canada and in the West.
Cash premiums were to 8 cents lower
and there was strong disposition to
sell, which seemed to indicate that
farmers have abandoned their hold
ing policy. 1t was also said that the
Canadian government would not inter
ferc with the natural course of the
market and would not again assume
control OF the wheat situation.
Export demand appeared to be lack
ing, although on the break here in
cash premiums, which indicated more
or less Generalization on tho part of
some of the holders, better cash de-
nand developed and it was believed
that soma Of the strongest interests
in the trade had absorbed a large
amount Of cash wheat against future
reeds. The flour market was also weak
and it was said that Canada was offer
ing -four freely at prices much below
q parity with the domestic product and
also below a basis with the present
price Of wheat in Canada.

Break i'm COttonOn
Export Outlook;
Rallies at Close

The cotton market appeared TO be
dominated by increasing nervousness
over the British labor situation yester-
cay. IT anything, buyers found rather
more encouragement in the news from
the local goods market and reports of
tirmer spot basis in the Southwest.
Moderate rallies from an carly de-
cline met increased offerings, however,
and prices broke nearly cent a pound
from Wednesdays closing figures, fol-
loving reports that British railway
men had decided to strike on Sunday
should the government meanwhile fail
TO settle the dispute with coal miners.
december contracts, which had ral-
he'd from 1885 to 1922, broke to 18.40,
or 30 points net lower, but later ad-
wees from London were considered
somewhat reassuring and the prices
rallied, closing at 1895. The general
list closed steady at net decline of
35 to SO points.
Southern spot markets, as officially
reported, were unchanged to SO points
lower, except for Galveston. which has
been relatively high and which marked
the price of middling down to 21.OO
or 100 points from Wednesdays quota
ton. Middling prices in the south now
range from 1850 to 21.OO, compared
with 1915, the closing price for Octo-
Der contracts in the local market.
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and unchanged, at 2O.50, for mid
ding; no sales were reported.

A Railroad Optimist Speaks

Qucstion~-Why should not Eric sell at
"a read in n Boston newspaper that
ern and Missouri Pacific. is not too much
stress made Of the debt of Erie? It's earn
ings VIII pay interest and dividends on
preferred stock. also help the common
ern preferred and st. Louis e San Fran
cisco preferred selling much too low?
should they not be at so? Looks II
somc stocks don't keep UP with the 9TH
ers IN the market-W. IL. c.
Answcr-No doubt the patient Erie
stockholders would be pleased beyond
measure to see the statements Of the
boston newspaper regarding the roads
earnings. But we fear they would en-
JOY short-lived pleasure, for, as a mat
ter of fact, Erie's earnings are far
from good. For instance, from January
to July 81 OF this year the road
showed q loss of S6,119,929. against II
loss of but S2,065,505 for the CORE
spending period of 1919. This, too, is
before any interest on the debt. To
be sure, the increase in rates will cause
change for the better, but we make
no predictions as to what these earn
lngs will be. The government oper-
atcd the roads in its own way. There
was diversion of traffic, for one thing,
whlch may nave caused q decided
change in the net result of certain
roads. DO not place too much stress
upon the so-called government guaran-
tee There is no such thing in reality
Rates are to be so regulated that roads
in certain group Will, in the opinion
OF the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, be able to earn 5la per cent on
the property valuation, not the cap
ltalization. 1t will be quite possible
for one road in a group to earn 10 per
cent, while another may earn but 3
per cent. The stocks you mention are
all speculative, because the situation
is decidedly uncertain even now. Do
not anticipate the declaration of divi-
dends on such stocks at this stage. 1t
remains to be seen how the plan will
work out.

Corn Touches Ne,c Lo,o
Prices: ReceiDts Liberal

New low records were again estab-
lished in the corn market, although net
price changes for the day were rather
narrow, the close being 81 to 1Mc
lower. The supply and demand situa-
ton was considered decidedly bearsh,
owing to the large stocks and the slow
buying power, and values felt the in
fluence of the break in wheat.
Exporters were said to have taken
about 100000 bushels Of white and

Receipts were again quite liberal.
