BELIEVES DAYS OF
 WAR PRICES OVER

The peak of high prices for practi- cally all commodities, espec ally those regarded as the necessities of life. has passed and the present downward tendency of prices will continue grad ually until conditions aga,n reach normal, in the opinion of J. Frank Jones, head of the Jones Milling Com pany of this city.
 Very marked reductions have oc- cured recently in the products han dled by MT. Jones' company. Corn, which sold at $250 and upward per bushel here, is now selling for S1.70 at retail. Corn chops have dropped from $4.15 per 100-pound sack to $3.25. Flour is wholesaling at 75 cents to sl per barrel lower than 30 days ago.
 You will find the same tendencies in the prices of shoes, clothing and other goods,' MT. Jones said. The cost of living is rapidly decreasing just now, and l believe it will continue to fall until more reasonable levels are reach ed. While l do not look for any im- mediate reduction in the wages of labor, I believe there is a very mo- ticeable sposition upon the part of the workingman to steady down and remain longer on the same job, and to give more efficient and energetic services for his pay, all of which will be in effect more product on for the same pay and equivalent to a de- crease in the cost of labor"
 With reference to the situation in the grain markets, MT. Jones believes it is accurately summarized in trade letter he received today from a prom inent Nebraska house, which is in part as follows:
 "Thrcughout the entire corn grow ing territory, most seasonable wealth CT conditions have prevailed. It is too early to make an estimate on this crop yet, but with few weeks more of good weather, it is reasonable to expect crop of upwards of three billion bushels, ranking with the big gest ever grown. Favorable weather has helped oats materially and this crop, too, promises much better than was anticipated 60 days ago.
 With such brilliant crop prospects prevailing, there is little wonder that prices have stead ly worked towards lower levels this week, notwithstand- ing light receipts from the farms. There is not much chance for heavy run of corn during the threshing sea- son and the oat harvest which is just ahead of us. But even so, we can see little prospect of higher corn prices so long as crop conditions continue un- impaired. In fact the inevitable re- adjustment of prices is now under way. War time prices are past. This applies not only to corn, oats and wheat, but also to automobiles, shoe pegs and silk shirts.
 With corn, wheat and oats work ing down to lower levels, with beef and pork already down 50 per cent from war time prices, the start will have been made in earnest for re- duction of living costs, and food prices must lead the way. Labor prices can only be expected to follow this lead Already higher efficiency in labor is noticeable which is a wholesome ten dency towards the reduction of manu- featuring costs of all commodities. ''The transportation situation shows improvement and is noticeably better now than for many weeks"

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The Democratic platform
adopted at the San Francisco
Convention is so plain and dis
tiDct in all of it's announcements
that it is susceptible of but one
construction. There is no ambig-
uity or straddling anywhere in it.
In contradiction with the Re-
publican platform it stands for
something. Every section in it
rings clear and emphatic.
On the League Of Nations it
declares for the rattle alton of
the Versailles treaty and League
without reservations which would
impair its essential integrity.
This is not quite as strong as
the Administration wanted it, but
when it is coupled with the de-
nouncement of the Republican
Senate for defeating the treaty it
it satisfies all those who stands
for the treaty.
This section is in strong con.
trast with the Republican plank
which was "straddly" and was so
smothered with words so as to be
almost incomprehensiDle.
The platform on labor is much
more conservative than was ex.
pected and is both fair and equit-
able. While not denying the right
to strike it puts above the right
to strike, the rights of the public.
The principle fight over the
platform was on the question of
Prohibition and the Irish ques-
ton. A big effort was made to in
sert moist plank and an equally
determined effort to indorse Pro-
hibition. Both failed by an over
whelming majority on the floor
of the Convention and the plat
form is left without any plank on
the subject. This is exactly right

There is one thing certain that
a newspaper man and a practical
printer will be elected President
of the United States. Both Gov
ernor Cox and Senator Harding
are publishers of newspapers
and both of them were taught
the art of printing when they.
were quite young. TO this day
they often visit their composing
rooms and spend a little time in
social converse with their COM
positors.

as the question has been settled
and it should not be dragged into
this campaign by either the
"wets" or the "drys." An at
tempt to endorse the Irish Repub-
lie was overwhelmingly voted
down, and the platform merely
declares sympathy for Ireland.
Taken in all, it is platform
which will satisfy all reasonable
Democrats and will make votes
for the party. -ElizabethtowI

PRESIDENTIAL TICKET.

Gov. James M. Cox, of Ohio,
and Assistant Secretary of the
Navy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, of
New York, were nominated by
the Democratic National Con-
Vention at San Francisco, for
President and Vice President of
the United States. 1t was a
hard fight for first place, and at
one time it looked like Governor
Cox would go down and that
McAdoo would receive the prize.
Cox's leaders, however, would
not surrender, and after votes
had been switched from candi-
date to candidate for a week, the
Ohio Governor was finally nom-
mated amid the cheers of his
valiant supporters. He received
Kentucky's twenty-six votes on
the last ballot, and throughout the
balloting twenty of Kentucky's
vote answered for him on every
call. .-

THE mighty have fallen and,
they have fallen hard. In Austria
and Hungary the nobility are in
desperate financial straits-literally
pauperized, many Of them-not
knowing one day from whence the
meals for the next one will come.
1t is even said that hundreds of
duchcsses, princesses and baron
esses are seeking employment as
governesses, only to be rebuffed.
Parents fear that they will implant
eXtravagant ideas into the minds
of the little children. Many of
these women are even waiting on
table in reStaurantS--abou the
only thing left which they are
capable of doing. America, rich in
everything, can not help feeling
of sympathy for these unfortunate
women who have had everything,
and now have nothing, just as we
sympathize with all who are strug-
CLING with in the depths of pow
erty, whether high born or of
plebian birth. But will the lesson
it teaches be taken home? Will
women learn that from infancy
every person should be taught to
be selfsupporting in one way or
another-that the day Of drones is
rapidly drawing to a close?
