Those familiar with the industrial
situation in the east. or al least some
of them, are of the opinion that there
will soon be considerable enforced idle
ness among all classes of industrial
workers. due to the read justmcnt that
is now taking place. The drop i'll the
price of farm products is big factor
and affects industrial workers more
than some may think. When the
farmer stops buying because his prod
ucts are selling chcaply it means that
the wage worker will have less TO do.
the salesman will not sell as many
goods and the factories must curtail
expenses. This rule works both ways.
When the farmer stops buying. that
is when lie gets along with as few
things as possible. the industrial work
er feels the Stringcncy and he III turn
cconOmiscs. thus reducing the demand
for farm products and sending prices
downward Eventually commodities
will get back to Il stable basis, as Il
rule. fictitious values will be eliminated
for tie most part and business will be
able to figure on the future Men who
have good jobs at this time ought TO
stick TO them. 1t will not be strange
if there will soon be many job hunters
throughout the country.

The heavy swell Of opposition that
has arisen against Wilson and. incl
lcntally the Democratic adlninlStra-
ton. is but the high tide of German
hatred expressing itself through what
ever channel it can tind.-Castina
Times.
Stuff and nonsense! The revolution
against Wilson is simply due TO the
fact that the people now known him.
No man was ever elected president who
made so many ;ntcclcction promises
and who failed so completely 10 redeem
them. Read his campaign speeches Of
1912. They nearly all TEEN with
caStigations of predatory wealth and
explanations of how he would. if
elected see that the people got Il square
deal. No sooner was he warm III his
seat than he forgot what he promised
and never in the history of the nation
proiitccrS exploited the public aS they
have during the reign of this great
preacher. Just now the coal manipu-
latorS are throwing the harpoon deep
into the vitals of the people and the
administration at Washington is i'm
potent TO protect the public. Such a
man as Theodore Roosevelt would
bring the outlaw coal haronS to their
senses in n hours. if they had the
foolhardinesS to try such Il game while
ne was in the white house. The de
parincnt of justice told US a short
time ago what it would do if coal went
above 81 to Sc per ton AT the mines.
Well. Illinois coal is now selling al
from IS to so at the mines and the
consumers must pay. 1t is because of
such conditions that the righteous in
dignation of the people is aroused
against Wilson.

Senator Harding. in admitting that
he is going to recognize the rights and
prerOgatives of congress is getting in
position to have much influence with
that body after he becomes president.
Congress certainly has reason to feel
insulted at the treatment it has re-
ceiyed at the hands of President Will
son and will no doubt appreciate the
changed atmosphere about the white
house when Mr.. Harding takes his seat
in the executive chair.
