Readers of WallaCe's Farmer who
have financial obligations Coming
during the current year, and who are
spread out rather thin financially
would do well TO make arrangements
at the earliest possible date for seeins

TO be on the high tide OF prosperity.
Business conditions are good, and
there are plenty Of people who are
predicting that they will be still, bet
ter. Notwithstanding this. our adj
vice is to play safe.
The Indications are that interest
rates will be increasing and that
money may perhaps become tighter.
We are spread out rather thin. Credit

WILSON IHl cnlv sAaa,ua 70 aAv,r,sA,lon

Europe has finally discovered that
Woodrow Wilson is not the United
States and expresses it's new knowi-
edge by admitting its mistaken i'm
preston received when Mr., Wilson
and his court came to Europe with
such pomp and circumstance with
George Creel heralding the advent In
the tabard OF official informationist,
Most of the British press speak with
caution but tho disappointment and
the feeling that they wsre deceived or
had deceived themselves II evident
enough from the more outspolscr.
Lord Grey's return empty handed
dropped the Humpty Dumpty Of high
pretension and autooratlc assumption
off the wall. II is busted beyond re-
pair. Nor do the king5s horses or the
kings men seem to have any thought
OF attempting a new set up. Some OK

upon Europe. The London Times IS
anxious for the treaty with or with
out reservations. the Pail Mali Gazette
looks upon the situation in America
as needless and the British Saturday
Review, most plain spoken says:
The deadlock at Washington is an
instructive lesson in democracy. The
British ambassador after waiting
for three months, to present his ere
dentials to the American sovereign.
is obliged To come home without
having done so. President Wilson is
invisible and continues to defy his
enemies in the senate from his led

why doesn't he allow the vice presi-
dent to take his, place? The vice.

able state business to be conducted in

The Garment Industry.

Here the employees have demanded
a 80 per cent increase. The retail deal
ers claim that they are facing a
crisis: that the consumer has already
stopped buying on account of ~the
fabulous prices asked. In the hear
ings before the special committee APP
pointed by Governor Smith, to bring
about a settlement on the wage de-
mand. one dealer said that before the
arnstlce he made custom made suit
for 49,, Today the cheapest suit he
can make with the same materials
costs $195. OF this, 800 had to be
paid for labor. Customers who used
to buy three or four suits at time
hesitate on one now, on account of
the higher price.
The consumer refuses to be made
the goat any longer, and has stopped
buying. Since November, 1919, the
yoIumne of business in the trade 1t is
claimed, has fallen off SO per cent,
and the retailer has been forced to
cut off his profits to get rid Of his
goods.
One dealer asserts that there is
very little buying going on, because of
the forbidding prices asked by the
wholesaler even for the cheaper
grades, and predicts failures all over

MOI rHhT peYAM yNnWs nE.

Referring TO MI Foover's selection
by the New York World Mr.. Bryan
admits that 50 far as he knows the
New York World has not been en-
powered TO select a candidate for the
democrat party"
Evidently Mr.. Bryan Is not inclined
toward the Hoover candidacy and
thus evidences his unwillingness to
accept hand picked candidates. In
this Mr.. B. seems 10, be en- rapport with
the American voter generally. The
voters, It may be recalled refused to
elect q hand picked congress.
Mr.. Bryan realizes that the use of
Mr.. Hoover (who has no party so far
as Mr.. b. and the rest Of us know.)
as a political fall guy for the admin
istration would be the most complete
confession OF failure and inadequacy
that tn party could possibly make.
And while Mr.. Bryan is prone to
confess failure on the part of the ad-
fR!GlStratlon he IS not ready to admit
the inadequacy of the party to bring
forward a party candidate for the
presidency from its own starf and
rankers. Indeed it may be that Mr.
Bryan would again go snlilingly to
sacrifice if worst came TO worst. Ions
suffering has made Mr. Bryan immune
to pain.
But retirement and even contumely
have not crushed him to earth without
the power to rise again and bring up
standing with him an army Of Bryan
democrats. He and his will be promi-
nent in convention and necessary,
very, very necessary in November.

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.

The Sioux City Journal has finally
been aroused 10 eXprss it's annoyance
at the bundles OF pleas for publicity
from political bureaus, candidates and
disguised commercial advertisers which
flow into newspaper offices in a steady
stream and thence in to the waste
baskets-if the editors have the in
stinct Of self preservation and refuse to
be fish" for the pleader and the press
agent. So the Journal comes TO this
conclusion:
Any publicity you may give me will
be Appreciated Thus writes a politi-
cal aspirant, in forwarding to The
Journal an announcement Of his pur-
pose to seek the nomination for
certain state office. The capital let
ters are The Journals.
The editor cannot afford to admit
any Of this material to his newspaper
for two reasons, namely; % It is
prOpa ganda, and as such the editor is
justified in suspectng that if it is not
untrue. it is not the whole truth or
that such truth as appears IS eXagge-
rated: CD newspaper space has be-
come so valuable by reason Of the
greatly enhanced cost Of producing
| the newspaper that to give it away is
sheer lack of business common sense.
The mass Of press stuff which comes
begging to the editorial desks Is an
annoyance. Self respecting newspapers
prefer to seek knowledge first hand of
the fitness of candidates and express
their opinions and comment upon their
prospects and availability and COM
parative usefulness; but the political
prospector for publicity is not the
worst of 1t. We rather expect his re-
quest as a. hangover from the time
when a candidate expected to blow his
! own horn with the breath OF the news

eaus Of commercial enterprises. They

ing been warned of the hand sleds on
the highway. The judge SAID, In
handing down his decision:
IF, for example, boys are playing
fox and geese on the road, they are
no less entitled to their rights than II
they were soberly making their way
TO school or to a funeral: IT can not
be conceded that coasting upon a pub
lie highway is an illegal act or a null
sance. Public highways are as much
for pleasure as for business
This would seem to mean that any
person, child or adult, is entitled TO
play in the street at any time, and II
a driver of an automobile or other
wheeled vehicle runs into and dam
ages them he will be held legally
responsible. If this decision should
be upheld by the United States SUI

A supreme court opinion handed

right there as vehicles. In the case
