A boyle government operative and
Dame Rumor were the two principal
offensive characters in an unfounded
report that has gained considerable
circulation, to the effect that an East
Jordan merchant had been fined for
profiteering. The entire affair appears
to be an unwarranted reflection on this
merchant, and brings no credit to the
person or persons who concocted the
fabrication. The same untrue state.

wouidst Have a Friend7

Troy Times: There is an art n
making friends, and it is one that is
well worth while cultivating. Frien'i-
ships are the dearest and most
precious things in life and no one
can have too many.
But if you would have friends you
must be friend If you would be a
friend you must not leave all the
initiative to the other person, but be
willing to assume share of the bur
den yourself Remember that what
passes for haughtiness or disinteres.-
.edness in most people is ofttimes
only shyness and fear of being
snubbed If they should make any
friendly advances.
Watch for the little approaches to
friendship. When people give you an
opening and You do not take it they
very naturally suppose that you do
not want to take it.
Be interested in what the other
person is doing and ready with your

RESTRAINED BY LAW.

IT is well for peaple to bear in mind that pro-
vision in the United States statutes which
roads as follows: 1.-THE executive shall not ex-
tend to or accept any invitation to participate
In anv international congress- conference, or
ike event without first having specific author
itv of law to do so.' The president has the
right under the constitution to negotiate treatles
and. although the trainers Of that instrument
MAYER sunr,osed that he would leave his own
country and travel overseas for that purpose,
IF NAV h. that he had technical authority to at
tend the peace conference IN person. But the
treaty conference and the various lnternatlon-
Al meetings arranged for under its terms are
quite different affairs. The United States has
not ratified the treaty and it is not the law Of
the land. hence the president has no right to
participate either personally or by agent In the
conferences on various phases Of the peace set
Elements now being held in Europe.
It may be that Mr.. Wilson had the statute in
mind when he directed his ambassador to Rome
10 attend the San Reno meeting merely as an
observer In the financial conferences soon to
be held in Brussels it is the earnest desire OF
the allies that the { nitcd States should be rep
resented and it is probable that the president
would welcome an opportunity to have a spOkes-
man at the meetings through whom he could
Mace his personal views before the cOnfereeS.
Mr. Wilson's views the contribution this
country should make toward the rehabilitation
of Furono are we'll known and it has even been
intimated that he has favored the pooling Of
the war debts of the allied nations. which would
mean that the United States would pay a large
portion Of the war cost from August 1914 to
April, 1917, before we became active par
ticipant.
At the Paris peace conference Mr.. Wilson
was able to make promises, which he assured the
representatives Of other countries placed obi
cations upon the American nation itself, and
which have seriously embarrassed our foreign
relations since and ieopardized the friendly feel
which has existed between this country and its
allies. If the president had the authority SINH

To the Editor OF The Gate City:
4 am reader Of your paper and
read the recent letter of w. B. Col.
Inns and l would like to say the fol
lowing:
IL it were not so serious 1t would
be humorous to hear people talk
about strikes causing the high prices.
What strike caused the price OF
oysters to go from forty cents 10
eighty cents a quartz What strike
caused lumber to advance from forty
dollars to one hundred and fifty dol
lars thousand feet? What strike
caused bread to go from FIVE to ten
and fifteen cents a loaf? What strike
Icaused gingham to go from ten cents
TO forty cents yard? What strike
caused house rents to go up one hun
!dred per cent?
The strange part OF 1t all is that
the public, and the farmers, have
been induced, to some extent at
least. to believe that strikes and
labor troubles did cause these high
prices. and there is a disposition on
the part Of many people 10 lay the
blame on labor OF course this is all
due to lack of information on the sub.
ject. Profiteers have made and still
are making so much money that they
can well afford to spend lot of il
to fool the public.

WE HAVE NOT THE MONEY.

Europe does not openly propose but dellcateiy
hints that the United States shall absorb the
German bond issues to meet the PREPARATIONS de-
rnanded. The plan appears to be that Germany
shall make her notes for thirty billions, the al
lies endorse them the United States cash them,
the allies use the proceeds and this country hold
the bonds till their are paid. This amounts to
further loans to Europe of about three times
the sum-ten billons--we have already advanc-
ed; and the question arises if our allies would
be any better off, any more solvent, with that
much added to their present debts' But aside
from this and the question whether the bonds
would ever be paid, we have no such amount OF
capital for investment, no such sum, or any
large fraction of it, to lend. We spent twenty
four bilIions-all we could spare-in Liberty
bonds and have so many and urgent uses for
some of that money that we no longer keep
our own securities, admittedly the best ON earth,
at par.

DONE WITH RRooKHART TYPE

Des Moines Capital: II there is
anything this much-abused, much.
maligned country OF ours needs dur
ing the next six years 1t is good
hard Observation-Disclosures working in con-
gress 1t needs men in that body
who will bend their backs to the
hard work OF getting the country
slowly but surely out OF the mess it
has been getting itself into through
the verbosity Of congress during the
past six years.
If there is anything this country
does not need it is q band OF hell
raisers in congress, men who will
proceed to tear everything to pieces
with their adjectives, but who con-
struct nothing. There has been too
much tumult and shouting and reach
ing into the money-bag for the bene-
fit of the voter in the gallery, and
too little gratitude for the blessings
the government has to offer.
While Senator Cummins has been
hard at work in the United States
senate unraveling the intricate prob
lens he has set himself to solve;
while he has been unselfishly direct
ing his energies toward the best IN
terests Of his country, Colonel Brook
hart has been shouting about tearing
things up without rhyme or reason
merely for the purpose OF keeping the
animals stirred up.
The grave danger that constantly
confronts a republic is the danger OF
anarchy. People are SO free that II
goes to their heads and they think
"If this is liberty, let US have more
of it, And abuse OF liberty is Dol
shevism.
Above everything else in this ma
ton we need calm. There is nc
shortcut to the solution OF our prop
| lens. We must go sanely to WORK.
We must avoid the high spots and
seek a sane level. We must arrive
at a realization that this country IL
| the purest example Of representative
i.goyernment on the face OF the eartn
and that If this government does no'
succeed, no government Of the people
can succeed. We must avoid the
| loud mouthed agitator who sends MS
| phrases dancing down the WIND &c
! nIay havoc with our emotions. we
are fed up ON blatant oratory from
men of the Brookhart type VINO tain
| as though they held the millennium
| in either hand and might hand 1t ou'

paid too dear price for our repuohs

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
ALL Is WELL

When round me sounds the battles Gin,
And tar1Illt seems without, within,
To rule supreme; when fear assails,
And errors voice almost prevails,
Lies lessons seem too hard 10 learn
To God omufpotent Turn
And hear Loves gentle accents tell:
All good is with you All is well
StiIied are the tuInuIt and the fear.
No longer errors voice l hear
But rest in confidence and peace,
Knowing Gods law brings man release
From all that would his progress stay
Along the upward, narrow way.
This truth will doubt and fear dispeI:
All good is with you All Is well
With freer courage for the fight,
With eyes upifted to the light,
I onward press, with JOY untold
Doth not Gods arm His child enfoid?
And when at last the day is done,
The battle fought, the victory won.
Truths ringing notes in triumph swell:
All good is with you All LIS well.

COSTLY AND INCoNcLUsIvE PRIMARIES.

The presidential preference primaries nave
been wholly inutie, Intellectual to the end for
which they were designed. In no state is the
popular sentiment or the party sentiment known
to any more certainty now than 1t was before
In Ohio the four leading republican candidates
polled altogether less than half the votes the
state gave in 1916 to Justice Hughes. In other
states the result was hardly more decisive than
a straw vote take at a carcus, on the streets OF
in Jail. Yet it cost millions of dollars to hold
these primaries in the twenty-five or thirty
states which have them, to say nothing OF the
money the various aspirants spent. The htera-
ture sent out by candidates may have some edu-
cational value; but for any discoverable prac,
teal purpose, except to bar out of the race good
men who are too poor or too high-1ninded to
take part in such scrambles, these inconcluslve
primaries are money, time and effort wasted,
and cheaper our political system In the eyes OF
the world.

our more progressive farmers have
gone into other lines OF work which
has again caused decrease in the
production of food stats.
As view the matter at the present
time it seems TO me something like
this: Prices were set on hogs, which
were below the cost of production:
the result was that this years pig
crop has been decreased. Our porn
production has therefore been greatly
reduced Our wheat acreage was re-
duced because of the restricted mar
ket. The corn through the entire
corn belt is this year not being
planted as early as necessary for US
to normally expect bumper crop,
so chances are that there will not be
surplus of the two important grains.
corn and wheat. / hope you will
continue TO place before your readers
the Importance of their knowing more
of the crop conditions. This country
is a very fertile country and we
never have been called upon to really

people realize the true conditions and
adapt themselves to those conditions.
