For Good of the
 Community

THE small boy whose toe has come into A collision with a stout pebble and suffers thereby, nurses for the time being pain of which he does not believe there is anywhere an equivalent.
 If, while he whimpers and laments the tragic occurrence, his eyes happen to be- hold another small boy strike another pebble and indulge in similar self-com- miseration, he automatically dries his eyes, says "shucks, that ain't nothin'' and proceeds to demonstrate his philos- ophy by whistling.
 Theodore H. Price, one of the nations leading financial and economic experts, gives the following table of comparative prices for commodities at the end of last week and year ago, as follows:
 Beef, 23 and 29 cents.
 Pork, 30 and 48.
 Coffee, ' and 15.
 Print cloths, and 115.
 Silk, $6.70 and S10.10.
 Rubber, 22a and 49.
 Hides, 30 and 43.
 Wool, 27 and 5O
 Cotton, middling, 2525 and 3315.
 No boy really enjoys having his toe in- jured. Cattle raisers have not enjoyed seeing the price of beeves follow the trend of the price of the marketed carcass. The raiser of hogs has not been tickled to death because hog flesh became measur- able in less of gold.
 The rubber man does not relish the price being cut in two. Silk jobbers were made really uncomfortable when that commodity took sudden and uncomfort- able toboggan ride and declined to re- mount the hill.
 The coffee bean has been rudely han dled, it's drop being one calculated to pro- duce severity of impact resulting, in turn, in pain to the man who raised it and the man who marketed the crop
 Hides and wool appear to be in the more or less invalidated colony.
 Cotton is not alone.
 If one of these commodities was raised at high cost, the others also were. If any one of these articles must take it's lit tie dose of readjustment and manfully SIIlllC lC away, CllcIC IS IlO 0Sp0Cldlly SOuu0 reason to ask an exception to the rule Real boys do not like the whimperer and cast him forth.
 It is just the easiest thing in the world to so enwrap ones self about ones own troubles as to fail to observe those of others. The cat that curls up in circle with her nose and eyes buried in her own fur is no more oblivious to the veal and woe of those about her than human beings who perform the same feat.
 It would have been perfectly awful if, when others were getting the high prices and waxing fat and strong off the diet of prosperity, we had been left out But none were. Some got little more than others, but all shared. Those did best who were keenest to the job. Apples at the top of the tree do not come to those who sleep at the roots, but to those who climb.
 There is no more cause to be anxious about this coming election than about any other Business is h1 waiting mood, but Eek, I,,~ Txo

more to ship freight down hill from
Denver to Galveston than it does to
haul it up hill from Galveston to

1t is indeed strange that members
of congress will continually ignore
these outrages and allow the west to
be treated like a stepchild of Uncle
Sam. The resolution providing for an
end to this outrage was voted down
in the senate and the surprising fact
stands out that even some Of the
western senator's voted to continue
this unfair practice. Western news
papers, commercial clubs and business
men should let out howl that will be

enemy or traitor to the west.

NATIONAL THRIFT WEEK.

Poor Richard" contended that "a
penny saved is penny earned" and
this principle is to be emphasized In
connection with the anniversary Of
Benjamin Franklin's birth Of January
II, by the observance Of national thrift
week. Plans for this national move
ment which were developed and are
being promoted by the Y. M. c. A..
have been endorsed by the rotary
clubs, commercial organizations and
other civic bodies all over the United
States. In every city and hamlet peo-
pie who by that date may begin to
feel their new years resolutions slip
ping will be urged to get fresh grip
on their pocketbooks.
Nor is ii simply proposed to give
three cheers for thrift as an abstract
matter. A definite economic problem
will be considered each day of the
week and the cumulative result Of
the entire weeks program will be a
liberal education on frugality and Its

HOLIDAY TRADE PLEASEs.

The Christmas trade this year was
hummer everywhere Nothing like it
was ever witnessed before in the way
of holiday trading in this country. The
power of so many millions of people to
crafty their desire to spend literally
at this particular time may have
good effect. 1t may mellow the edge Of
the temper of those who have much
fault to find, and who have developed
radical ideas. Plenty of money to
spend, and radical policies in effect
can not he maintained at the same
time in the same country. 1t is quite
possible that this holiday spending
orgy at the end of 1919 may have a
wholesome effect, and the people will
settle down to recoup their expendi-
lures, and production move upward.
Prices are at new high levels for
both necessities and Injuries and
while there may be slight reaction
after the holidays, there are no indi-
cations that they will recede appreci-
ably for some time to come. The
contention that high prices are due to
increased demand in the face of a
world shortage of goods rather than
to initiation of the currency seems well
founded. The position is held that
currency is issued only in response to
demand therefor as circulating med
ium and that currency expansion is
an effect and not cause Of advancing
prices. The only remedy suggested is
greater production. and the saving of
unnecessary expenses.
Locally the merchants were well
pleased with the holiday trade. Heavy
buying marked the last week Of the
Christmas rush and holiday stocks
were practically all cleaned out. On
Tuesday and wednesday, both night
and day. the streets were crowded
with merry shoppers, bringing to
mind a vision of other days, now fast
returning. when wallace streets and
wallace stores were taxed to their
limit by shoppers from far and near.
And the shoppers were sensible

AIMS OF THE RE-

Referring to the action of the re-
publican national committee in Wash
ington last week in the creation of
council Of twenty-four members,
twelve members of the national COM
mittee and twelve not Of the commit
tee, of whom four are women, and

is THE WEST THE STEPcHILD?

Irrespective of his politics, our hats
are off to United States Senator
Charles S. Thomas of Colorado, who
arose from his seat in the upper house
at Washington few days ago and
told his fellow senator's how the rail-
roads have continually Disseminated
against the west, Senator Henderson
of Nevada and Senator Poindexter of
Washington are also to be congratu-
lated upon their firm stand in behalf
of the intermountain country. The
Cummins railroad bill was under con-
sideration and these senators made a
strong fight to compel the insertion
OF resolution IN the bill which
would make the railroad companies
give the west fair rates in the event
that the control of the roads passed
from the government to the owners.
For some unexplainable reason, the
senate would not see justice done.
says the Daily Mining Record
Senator Thomas showed that on the
shipment of mining machinery into
Nevada, the rate from New York to
Goldfield was greater than charged
from New York by way of San Fran
cisco to South Africa. The discrep-
ancy, according to Senator Thomas,
consisted very largely in the addition
to the shipment of the freight rate
from San Francisco back to Goldfield,
when, as matter of fact, the freight
cid not go to San Francisco at all,
but went direct from New York to
Goldfield, but the charge to the ship
per was the rate from New York to
San Francisco plus the rate back
from San Francisco to Goldfield. Sem
ator Thomas also pointed out the fact
that because Of railroad discrimina

producing states in the country, can
buy Colorado sugar at Omaha and

FREE TRADE ENDS IN CHAOS.


doubt the most progressive nation in
the world. There will be from this
time on more earnest desire on the
part of the nations of the world, for
closer relations. There will he more
careful study of the underlying -prin-
clples of it's government.
Government Is the anatomy, capital
is the nerves and labor the muscle OF
the great American giant. The one
American principle that has given him
character and personality is the pro-
tective system. The protective prin-
ciple is opposed, both at home and
abroad, by the theory Of free trade
This theory has been set forth as a
principle and advocated as a policy Of
government under varied conditions.
In every instance it has shared the
fate Of all theories, when an attempt
to put them into practice has been
made. 1t has failed to bring the
beneficial results claimed for it by its
advocates.
The commercial world left to itself,
becomes pandemonium and ends In
chaos. The free trade theory contains
all the elements of confusion and full
~ demonstrates the fact whenever
tried. Free trade has never been full
ly demonstrated. Countries like the
inland states of Europe, can not have
absolute free trade. The seaport
countries have been incapable Of free
trade through the commercial domin-
alton Of the seas by a single nation.
Free trade Is put in contrast with
protection is a governmental princi.
pie. The two are Incompatible. Free
trade has no governing principle. 1t
lacks the law Of coordination which is
fundamental law of civilization. 1t
is conflict Of natural resources, a
contest Of brute force, a commsScial
anarchy.
On the other hand. commercial pro-
lection contains fundamental law of
civilization. 1t saves the waste of
natural resources, and promotes civil
iaation by the introduction of scien-
tfc principles in commerce Protec
ton stimulates production. II elevates
the producer and intensifies the activ-
tty of the consumer.
Protection Is an American policy
and Is so regarded throughout the
world. The nations abroad regard the
United States with wonder but do no,
understand this great element Of its
strength. In this time Of commercial
and political reconstruction every
principle of Americanism should be
clearly defined and made prominent
in government. The energy expended
on the problem of protection will yield
the largest returns In civilization, not
only to the United States. but to the
entire world.

Ea"G will T1usta Guy
"a. C. Amy

Mid the troublous times now pending
'Twixt the men of brain and Drawn;
Each striving for an ending,
Each looking for the dawn,
When assembling at your meetings.
Did you ever think to try,
when through with formal greetings,
That Guy must trust Guy?
Where confidence is shaken
Twixt two factions in dispute,
Each saving: You're mistaken,
Your statements we refute,"
Something radical is wanting.
Right then, why don't you try
To stop your useless ranting,
Own Guy must trust Guy?
Yes. Guy must trust Guy.
vTis a very homely phrase,
But it's surely worth a try
In these dark and troublous days.
Your meetings have been fruitless,
That you've held in days gone by.
Perhaps they'd not been bootless
If Guy will trust Guy.
All the people now are fretful
Brain and Drawn are losing friends,
And the folks are not forgetful
That you've reached no peaceful
ends
IF you've used all your resources
In the times Of BY and BY,
Meet again, adopt new courses,
Swear each Guy will trust Guy.
Thoughts of hatred try and Danish
Meet as father meets a son.
The clouds will surely vanish
And a vict'ry will be won
If you'll only trust each other
Put your trust in Him on high,
Peaceful ends you will discover
