THE AUTOMOBILE MURDERER.

Too many instances are recorded OF auUomo-
bilists running away after having been involved
in accidents. The courts should take cogn1z-
anee of the running away in eases In which the
fugitive is afterwards apprehended and convict
ed of having caused death, injury or property
damage through carelessness
The automobiEist that runs away after ca7s-
ing an accident is a criminal by nature. In the
first place, he is breaking the law by speeding,
or being on the wrong side of the road or by
cutting a corner or in some other way. Inc
laws against these practices are intended for
the safeguarding of motorists and pedestrians:
The motorist that dsregards the law assumes
the moral blame for whatever accidents his dis
regard cause He is next to the one who de-
liberately plans the death of another, for he de
liberately does something that he knows may
cause anOther's death.
The courts have the remedy for this practice
in their own hands. 4 little stronger leglsla-
ton on the subject would not be amiss. Law
abiding aut0moblists will be strongly IN favor
Of ANYTHING that will lessen the number OF these
cowardly persons, who disgrace the race OF
motor drivers.

DOWNWARD REVISION CONTINUES.

The downward revision OF prices continues
to be the factor dominating the general business
outlook. The movement is a natural and IN
evitable corrective of the unstable condition
created in the previous period of rising prices,
reckless public buying and widespread specu-
lation Falling prices are not a recent develop
ment. Before the close of 1919 the prices OF a
number Of important commodities had begun
to decline. By spring of 1920 definite down
ward trend had been established. Since then
the movement has been accelerated, until with
in recent weeks it has forced general recognition
that the period of excessive buying at rising
prices has definitely ended. Business must now
go forward On lower price level. This read
iustment cannot be effected without embarrass-
ment in individual cases. It will be effected,
however, without serious general results by
reason Of the inherent strength of the credit
situation and the assured cooperation OF the
banks with business.
The improvement effected in our credit and
banking machinery now enables given gold
reserve to finance a greater volume OF business
than was practicable in the prewar days. The
actual level at which prices will be stabilized
can only be worked out gradually on the basis
of actual transactions over an extended period.

BRYAN rs DREAMING AGAIN.

William Jennings Bryan shows by bis adj
dress before the World Brotherhood Federation
in Washington that age has not brought him
wisdom or common sense He is dreaming
dreams again this man who could raise an army
Of million men over night. Mr.. Bryan's IA
cility in ignoring the practical seems to grow
with age.
The Nebraskan told the brotherhood that the
United States should cancel the war debts OF the
European nations to her. She afford to do
it, he says The only condition that Mr.. Bryan
would impose would be that the terms of the
Versailles peace treaty be so modified as to bring
the nations Of Europe together in friendship
and cooperation. Of course, we afford to
cancel these debts. They amount to only about
ten billions of dollars and the money that was
loaned on them was raised by the sale of bonds
to our citizens We can pay the bonds through
taxes. Or we can sell the bonds and use the
money to live on during the periods of high
prices and depression that must at times come
upon the world and still pay the bonds by taxes.
Perhaps European financiers Will buy the bonds
at reduced prices and then collect on them when
they mature. That would aid Europe nightly,
for it would not only give her the loan but a
profit on it. And it would be 50 easy to impose
a revision of the treaty on Europe The lack
of envy, jealousy, trickery, ambition for terri
tory and power over there would make such =
revision a mere nothing. And universal dis
armament would then, as Mr.. Bryan says, be
possible. 1t would, no doubt
Another happy effect of this giving up of ou1

A. E. rs NOT FOR LEAGUE.

Captain Eddie Rickenbacker: feel
it is my duty to speak for the boys
who gave their all for their country
and who unfortunately are not in po-
siticn to tell their friends and com
rades at home that they were willing
to. fight and die for America as they
know America and not for countries
! which were not theirs and OF which
they know nothing. " Al

not for Mr.. Wilson's league of ma.
lions or for Mr. Cox's, either.
know this because / have talked with
hundreds of them. They do not make
fine argument on the subject, but
they feel deeply.
The way they look at It is this:
They went over to Europe and fought
for their country-that is, thu United
States. I do not believe that any one
of them ever thought once that he
was fighting to set up league of
States of the world / know that Mr..
Wilson and Mr. Cox say they did,
but l do not think these gentlemen
realize what the fighting men fought
for or the spirit in which they fought.
l1ney DOIu are lullSdhSu, tucSI ID Oil.
/ do not know a single man in the
A. E. F. who thinks we ought to take
on the Cox-Wilson league, especially
the obligations in article ten. Every
one Of them would be willing to fight
for the United States again, but none
of them would care to fight for the
purpose Of fixing the boundaries of
some country in the Balkans or Asia
or Africa. They really don't care
how England and France and Spain
divide up the land around the Med
iterranean or who gets what part of.
If you ask them they will tell you
that is European business and not
American.
They learned enough in Europe to
know that the European countries
are looking out for themselves and
not for US and that all of them think
Of their own interests first. So they
feel it is best for America to look out
for Americans and not sign any CON
tract, like the league of nations, to
settle other peoples quarrels before
we look after troubles of our own.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

! Des Moines Capital: The man in
the white house does not run this
country; the people run 1t through
their representatives In congress. 1t
viii be up to the senate to decide
this league Of nations business. There
is absolutely no chance for Cox or
any other man to summon enough
votes in the senate, after next
March, to pass the Wilson league OF
nations covenant. Hence the cleo
ton of Cox would result in another
stalemate SO far as the passage OF
the Wilson league of nations is con-
cerned, and that is the sort Of q
league Cox stands for.
Webster City Freeman-Journal: OF
course the democratic party might
have done worse than nominate Cox.
1t might have nominated Wilson.
Cedar Rapids Republican: Mr.. Cox
is always thinking of being bought"
The other day when some boys yelled
for Harding in his presence he got
mad and asked who paid you for
doing that? ?" Who paid you? 1t is
always that to him. He is. too
familiar with such phrases and prac-
tees. A man who thinks that even
the boys have been bought up" is
too suspicious to be ranked among
the men who have honest mentali-
ties.
Des Moines Register: There is now
in Iowa one automobile for every five
persons, and still the automobile
stealing goes right on.

Cummins is the man who tried to
provide a method of adjusting rail

railroads with strike and throwing

is the reason the democrats have

constructive effort.
Webster City Freeman-Journal: If
the people OF the corn producing
states would eat more corn it might
help equalize the price between corn
and wheat There is nothing better
for the stomach than corn bread,
corn cakes and mush. More corn
products would be consumed if the
womenfolks could be persuaded Ito
prepare them. Corn is just as good
for man as it is for hogs and cattle.
Cedar Rapids Republican: We are
told that Mr. Wilson is going to split
the republican party before the cleo
tion-if he can. The II is very well
placed in that proposition. What Mr.
Wilson has been doing so far has been
uniting republicans, and a great
many democrats also have united
with them.

demands upon Europe, according to Mr.. Bryan,
would be that it would be possible to lift the
burdens from the backs of the toilers of the
world How lovely! He does not say who
would then bear the said burdens. But it would
have to be the idlers, for they are the only ones
that are not bearing their share of the burdens.
1t would be some satisfaction, at least, to see
the idlers at work
Perhaps Mr.. Bryan could have crowded more
chineras into one address but he would have TO
break the world S record in order to do so.

Governor Cox seems to grow more reckless
each day in his campaign OF making charges
against his opponent. In fact, he IS becoming
SILLY and is beginning to make sensible voters
wonder if he is not temperamentally unfit for
the office of president His suspicious mind
isees DOGGY behind every tree, and all OF them
turn out to be mere fctions Of the candidate s
brain.
The other night Governor Cox attacked Sen
jator Harding for the forces behind him. lie
named various forces, elements or groups some
Iof them good. some of them bad and some in
different, that are supporting the republican
candidate. He even had to invent names for
some of the forces His grouping together
of bad, fanciful and good elements shows the
reckless nature of the charges he is making.
At another meeting Governor Cox charged
the opposition with paying persons to, create
disturbances at his meetings. He asked little
boy that appeared before the platform with a
Harding picture who had paid him to show It.
The boy denied that anybody had paid him.
Whereupon the candidate told the boy he had
told an untruth, and the audience that it was
witness of a political trick on the part of the
opposition. Truly, fine, dignifed and just
statement by a candidate for the presidency!
To most of us it will seem that the only ex-
cuse for these actions, bordering SO closely up
on boorishness as hardly to be distinguished
from that trait, is frayed nerves and ragged
temper, due to a realization on the part OF Gov
ernor Cox that the people do not want him for
president.
