 ''The industries which had a sur plus and which depend upon foreign markets for the distribution of this surplus are going to suffer through some dfslocation in their bustness,' said MT. Hull, land there may de- veIop some little stringency as a re- suit of the conditions, but I do not see any cause for a1arm. The remedy is going to come through jerks and jumps, and because of this there is certain to be some disturbance in some industries, but others are likely to be unaffected by conditions" !,
 MT. Hull pointed out that the do-
 mestic demand for iron and steel building material is expected to ab-
 sorb the entire American output, to
 say nothing of the requirements of
 the railroads for steel in the neces-
 sary continued rehabilitation. He sees
 nothing to be alarmed about in the
 cotton decline and is confident the
 shr1nkage in food prices to come
 with the 1essening demand from over
 seas will in the end be helpful to
 the economic situation.

 Der of a Wall Street brokerage
 house, on the eve of his departure
 for Europe, that history would be
 made in Wall Street during his ab-
 senceScaused only amusement in the informed quarters here. As one of fciaI put it, Wall Street operators have not yet realized what is ap- parent to every one else, and that ts that the country no longer tremble: when the Wall Street speculators ge panicky because of conditions purely !; local to the stock market.
 'The fact is,' said this official there was panic in Wall Stree some eight weeks or so ago. It didn' cause a furry outside of the street however. Why, because the Fedora Reserve System is too strong to bt hurt by anything the stock manipu lators may do. Had that Wall Stree disturbance occurred prior to tht creation of the Federal Reserve sys tenn disaster would have resulted just as it did in the so-cal1ed Roose welt panic-a Wall Street made panit in 1907.
 ''The best answer that can be mad' to the calamity howlers today is tc refer them to the absence of nationa bank failures since the Federal Re serve system was established. Prio ! to 1914 there was a national banl 1 failure on an average of every twen l ty-one days. There has only been on 1 national bank failure in the last tw years. This gratifying record will b | maintained if the people keep thei 1 heads, keep at work and practic l thrift"

Favors Agriculture

A department Of agriculture, Tor
the management of farm interests
in Iowa, the key state of the entire
agricultural section of the United
States, is advocated by Clyde Her.
ring, candidate for governor.
'S.A definite branch OF state
government, devoted to the develop
ment of agriculture, would certain
ly be of immense value in Iowa, the
very heart o: the richest agriculture
section in the world" declares MIR,
Herring.
agriculture is Iowa's biggest
business. | do not see how it can
be properly administered without an
entire department. given over to its
problems.
We could we'll afford to do away
with half a dozen other minor
bureaus and commissions, devoted
to matters of much less Importance
than the Iowa farm, if it were
necessary in order to have this very
essential department.

out of the last thirteen, this office
has been held by Guthrie county

out Of the last thirteen, this office
has been held by Guthrie county
man. During four terms out of
the remaining five, the office has
been held by Dallas county; and
Audubon county has held it but
ONCE. Mr.. Land is from Guth-
RE county. 1t follows that in case
he should be elected, the office
would fall to Guthrie for the ninth
term; and this at the close of a
period, in which it has been held by
another Guthrie County man, Mr..
j. w. Foster, for three successive
terms.
This, Of course, does not appeal
to people generally as fair play. 1t
is hard to see why Audubon coun-
ty should not have the office as Of
ten as do the other two counties;
and it is equally hard to see why
Guthrie should hold it for eight
rms out Of thirteen and then
make bid for the ninth.
1t may be admitted, to be sure,
that if the candidates from Guth-
RE County were better than those
from onr county, we might be JUS
tilted in giving the office into their
keeping; but this is not true
this year,snor has it been true III
other years. Much as the Journal
respects Mr.. Land, it still holds
that MIR. Mantz is man of whom
we need not be ashamed, and who
will compare favorably with any
other candidate whatever for any
office, either in our own or any
other part of the state.

Wonan''s New Role
Who for Senator?

The laws of Iowa are made by
the General Assembly, which con-
sists Of two houses, the Senate and
the House Of Representatives. The
Senate, or upper house, consists of
fifty members; and the state is di-
vided into districts Of various sizes
IN such manner that the number
OF people in each is nearly the
same. We live in the seventeenth
senatorial district, which consists
OF the counties of Audubon, Guth-
RE and Dallas, the latter adjoining
Guthrie on the East. 1t is for the
senatorship from this large district
that Mr.. Mantz and Mr.. Land.
whose records and views are dis
cussed on the front page this week
are candidates.
There is one phase of this con-
test which the people Of Audubon
county should understand clearly.
1t is that for more than quarter
OF a century Audubon county has
been practically deprived of the
privilege Of naming the senator
from our district, whereas the other
two counties, and especially Guth-
RE, have monopolized the honor
out of turn as well as in. To be
more definite, during eight terms

II Her Problems

Reflection did not give Zoe peace
Of mind concerning her duty. In
her present mood she could not feel
that she had been doing God service.
The bitter feelings of the weary
workers toward those who should
have assisted did not seem to her
consistent with her religion which
Christ taught.
If each of the members had given
in money the amount she had do
mated toward the dinner they would
have relied nearly or quite as much
as they had Melted when expenses
were paid, and they would have had
day of recreation with the rest.
1t seemed to Zoe all wrong.
Mother" she said one day later,
ri can't think the Lord requires
us to perform such strenuous work.
Someway it seems to me lack Of
Judgment rather than duty. We
could have raised as much money
as we realized with very little more
cost to US.

do you think it pays to make such
