That he will receive just reward

not want the textile manufacturer 10

want the textile manufacturer TO
work without a fair profit, and Yet
again the public does not want the
wool dealer or the textile maruFae-
turer to be unjust with the flock

buying the present clip of wool al

shoulders Of the manufacturer.

clear, nevertheless few weeks
spent riding the ocean waves
with a few pleasant evenings on
the monlit beaches Of Hawaii
and the Orient will be far more
pleasant than if they were spent
in Washington wrestling with the
vexing problems of reconstruc-

problems are like the two-edgcd

WHERE THE BLAME LIES.

Just where the blame for the
high prices of clothes would rest
is outlined very clearly for those
who, would read in a statement
issued by Senator Owen i'll which
he critieizes severely the manu-
featuring interests of the coun-
try, says the McAlestcr News
Capital.
A report by the secretary OF
the treasury to the senate reveals
the profits Of some $4,000 Ameri-
can corporations in all lines or
business. Here are some OF the
figures which give eloquent cX-
planation Of the reason why a
pre-war $25 suit of clothes now
sells at $75; six wool and worst
ed manufacturing corporations,
with a total capital stock Of SOD
100000 made net profit OF
$20.000,000 after all federal taxes
had been paid. One made lO1
per cent and the average profit
was so per cent One cotton
manufacturer made 131 per cent
and five made more than 80 per
cent. "
OF course the question arises in
the minds of all of us-what is
going to be done about it?
Senator Gore is wormly wei
comed; 1000 Tulsans hear his
opening speech, " says the Law
ton News, Republican, in a glal'-
ing headline. We don't dispute
the fact or figures About the
same number of Tulsans turned
out to hear James Armore Reed
last October. Reed and Gore are
both welcome in the same camp
