 Referring to your letter of the 21st inst, it is true that we shipped about $30,000.OO furs through the bank to Well Bros. this season.
 The principal reason we shipped this amount to them was because they handled our business satisfactorily and paid a fair price for the goods. We did receive a Well cir cular ard you deserve credit for this. However, we shipped to several houses which cid not mail us any advertising mat ter. The reason Well got the big end of our business was be- cause he treated us right.

THE NEED FOR PEACE.

A number of very prominent Amer
leans petitioned the President the other
day TO resubmit the Peace Treaty to the
Senate and advise il that inasmuch as
ratification can be obtained in no other
way he win accept the reservations
adopted by the Senate majority. 1t is
hardly likely that the President will do
this, nor would the prospects of peace be
very much advanced if the President
should decide TO accept the Senate reser-
vations in their entirety. One of those
reservations was the unwarranted one
about Ireland. Great Britain would
surely not consent to that. Another
had to do with the voting power of
Great Britain's dominions. Canada and
Australia have practically given notice
that if America comes in the League of
Nations on those conditions they will
20 out. A third is the much-disputed
Article X reservation.
If the President were to resubmit the
Treaty to the Senate with an accompany
ing message telling just which of the
Senate reservations he could not accept,
and why; if he should say, for instance,
definitely, that he would accept the Taft
reservation on Article X, and thus put
upon his opponents the responsibility
for rejecting that sensible solution of
the controversy, there is yet hope that
a way might be found out. of the dead
lock: faint hope, perhaps, and yet
hope. The need for peace is as great
today as it was in those days when the
President himself was pointing it out
SO strongly.-Baltimore Sun.

"All Right, Mr.. Hoover. We Don't
Want You"

When Mr.. Hoover was first proposed
for nomination for President. 1t was from
that spontaneous, thoughtloss express
sion of public sentiment which so fire.
quently prevails in this country, when men
do things that make them widely con-
spicuous. Mr.. Hoover gained this dis
tinction by reason of his splendid services
as food distributor for large portion of
the world during the great war. He proved
so effective that a lot Of people in this
country immediately jumped to the con-
clusion that he was just the man for
President of the United States.
At that time, it was not known how
MIR Hoover stood politically, but this
made no difference to his sponsors. Dem
ocrat or Republican, he was the man
they wanted for President. Finally. he
declared that he is a Republican and said
he would accept nomination from the
Republican party. But even after this
declaration q majority of the Michigan
Democrats voted for him as their choice
jpI St iilG
in that State At the Republican pri-
maries he made good run but was de-
feated bv Senator johnson Of California.
Saturday last, Mr. Hoover made an
other public declaration, in answer to a
direct question whether he would accept
the Democratic nomination. And his
answer was a plain and emnhafic s.No -
So now we know where Mr.. Hoover
stands. He is willing to accept the Re-
publican nomination, which IN all proba-
bility he will not secure. He does not
desire the Democratic nomination, which
IN all probability he would not have
secured had he wanted it. Mr.. Hoover
evidently is satisfied with this situation,
and certainly all Democrats should be.

PRESS COMMENTS.
THE NAVY WAS READY.

From Admiral Sims charges that at
the beginning of the war the United
States Navy was in state Of inefficiency
and unpreparedness. Admiral Mayo and
Admiral Rodman wholly dissent. Both
are exceptionally qualified to give expert
testimony. Both were on sea service
during the war, while Admiral Sims was
stationed at London in charge Of opera
tions abroad. Admiral Mayo was in
command of the Atlantic Fleet and Rod
man commanded the squadron Of battle
ships attached to the British North Sea
feet.
Equally to point is the answer OF Ad-
miral II. B. Wilson, communicating chief
of the Atlantic feet, TO Admiral Sims
criticisms of the Navy Departments
conduct of the war. He declares that the
active fleet never was better prepared for
war than in April, 1917, and that the
Navy Department energetieally cooper
ated with the Allies from the moment
war was declared. The navy's accom-
plishments in the war, he says, deserve
the commentator of the nation, for they
were so stupcndous as to make relatively
unlmportant any mistakes.
Disagreement among experts Is always
10 be expected. In the navy IL is newt
able that they should divide into opposing
camps, whether on the subject of guns,
armament, plans for new construction or
general policy. IL is unfortunate for
Admiral Sims that in the controversy
he has carried on so agpressively he should
have found so little support among officers
of high rank.
But after all navy officers testifying
before the Senate investigating committee
have given their personal opinion. The
main issue remains unchanged. As a
proof of its efficiency, the United States
Navy conveyed nearly 100000 troops
to Europe without losing q man. In
that fact the American people have reason
to remember ifs service with pride, what
ever mistakes of detail may have been
made. New York World.

The More Potent Reason.

Partisan opponents OF the Peace
Treaty and the League of Nations point
to the victory of Senator johnson of Cali
fornia in the Michigan Republican prl-
maries, and the hearty Endorsement OF
Senator La Toilette bv Wisconsin Re
publcans as reputation of both Treaty
and League in battle before the people.
So il was to certain extent, but there
were more elements in the verdicts than
personal favor of these two antl-peace
Senators.
In both Michigan and Wisconsin there
is large body of voters of foreign ex-
traction, mainly German. They sympa-
thized with Germany throughout the
war and svmpathize with her today.
Senator johnson and Senator La Toilette,
bv their strong sympathy with Ger
many, as displayed by their actions in the
Senate, naturally attracted the good
feeling Of these friends of Germany and
enemies of our own country, who voted
for them solidly and enthusiastically
Hence their victor es.
The Republican party, through the
Reputation of the Peace Treaty and the
League of Nations by the Republican
Senate, and the bitter hostility it has dis
PLAYED to the Democratic national adj
ministration, which is the object of the
special hatred of all German sympathizers.
has attracted this alien. unpatriotic sup
port to its ranks, to the last man. Every
sympathizer with Germany, every man
of foreign extraction who feels hatred
of the Allies for defeating Germany, is
to be found under the banner of the Re-
publican party.
A formidable array this is and will be
in national voting contest. But there Is
a still greater array OF patriotic citizens
and thorough Americans. and the latter
will not permit themselves to be beaten
down by the countrv's bitter alien enc

Menace Of the Latest Strike.

There was some expression Of hope.
this morning, that the surprising and
very disturbing strike by the railroad
switchmep and trainmen, which has
brought confusion and havoc to general
railroad service over large section Of the
country, would be settled soon. But the
outlook was far from encouraging.
This strike is about the most serious
that ever afflicted the country, and the
most alarming in its probable results. II
was entered upon without reason and
without official authority. All the strikers
were members of the various unions OF
railroad employees, yet they went out of
their own volition and in contravention OF
specific orders from their union officials.
In this respect it Was a revolution against
the authority of organized labor. which
heretofore has been held as not only potent
in such matters. but the sole arbiter OF
the causes that lead to the final resort of q
summary cessation of labor. That the
men realize the result of their rebellion,
and seek to throw the pretense of labor
organization around them is shown bv
their somewhat frantic efforts to organize
union of their own and to conduct future
operations under its authority.
The situation, therefore, is alarming
by reason of its flouting of the authority
of organized labor, as well as its serious
and destructive interruption of general
railroad traffic. Organized labor had
spread so largely in recent years. and its
officiarv had been SO generally recognized
as the medium of negotiation between
employers and employees in all matters OF
wages and general conditions, that it had
come to be accepted by most large en-
ployers of labor as an assuring agency tor
the settlement Of labor controversies.
But now, at single blow. II S authority rs
set at defiance and its influence for the time
being destroyed. And without the as
surance of stability and securing OF con-
tract, the foundation upon which the
of organized labor rests IS
reduced TO crumbling sand
Leaders oil organized iaDofi rs wen aS
EMPLOYERS. recognize this grave peril and
are working desperately TO minimize its
serious effects and DESTROY the influences
that brought il about. Unless they can
do this, the cause of organized labor viii
go to pieces. because organized labor
without authority will be but as rope of
sand, and will have TO give way to in
dividual contract, supported only by the
whim or will of individuals on either side.
Then the only salvation might be some
plan of mutual agreement or cooperation
directly between employers and em-
ployes in great centres of industry.
