THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
(By J. E. Jones'
Enough For Everybody

The reports covering the farms and the industrial situation of the country show very clearly that the country is getting back to normal production, and that we will soon have enough to go around. It is good logic that this condition will make to- ward cheaper prices. There are a great many instances that bear out this theory. While the time has evi- dently arrived when the competition among dealers for goods at any price and among employers for laborers at any wage, has passed, it does not necessarily follow that there have been any revolutionary changes in values. The result is that the prof. teers have less chance to sell their goods at unreasonable prices, while the jack-at- all-trades can no longer buy hammer and saw and demand ten dollars a day as carpenter skilled in his work. Apparently it is d sorry business for merchants in many lines to dispose of goods they have purchased at inflated prices at the new figures that are being found to be reasonable.
 The most graphic instance in this connection surrounds sugar. The To- cal merchants have made an awful fuss about accommodating themselves to the new conditions and the new prices, even if the loss was slight. Poor little Cuba" has grown so rich out of sugar profteering during the war that its sugar growers are in the doldrums because the consumers of sugar in the United States and else where have forced down their prices. One of the largest Cuban banks has suspended operations, and the rich Islanders are just now realizing that their heyday is over. On a less eXag gerated scale these same conditions exist in a great many industries throughout the United States. Never theless. it must not be inferred that the pre-war prices will be restored. Mr. Ford, with his fifty or sixty mil lion dollars profits each year is doubt iess able to sell ''hivers" at the old price while paying the new rates of wages to his employes-and he can still keep out of the poor house. Oth- CT automobile manufacturers may do the same thing, but in most of the lnduStflai IneSy ana III dgf1edttuIe; this policy will be impossible.
 It is obvious that the new readjust- ment is well under way, and the fact is being rapidly accomplished. It is just as clear that it will not be pre- dicated on the plan which is plausible for Mr. Ford and a few manufac- turers like him who made abnormal profits both before and during the war period.

Hydroelectric Possibilities

It has been shown that a great power system drawing it's electrical energy from steam and water gen. eration, would save 30,600.000 tons of coal annually, representing S150,- 000,000, the labor of more than 30,- 900 miners and the release of vast railroad carrying capacity for other freight. Such a project stretching from Washington to Boston and draw ing it's electrical energy from steam and water generation, is the design of the Government, which is develop ing plans to meet the new era in pow CT development which it is thought will result from the water-power legislation passed at the last session of Congress. Scientific men say that it is almost unbelievable that pro- gressive people like those in the Uni ted States should cling to methods that are as antique as the ox-cart, by insisting upon digging and transport ing coal, and robbing Mother Earth of all her natural mineral resources, when all that is needed is the develop ment of water powers on streams which have for centuries awaited de- velopment.

WOMEN DEMAND THE LEAGUE
 OF NATIONS

Women running true to form, are championing the League of Nations because as usual, they are trusting to their instinct, and instinct tells them that this proposal in the only safe guard to peace.
 But by far the most important pro- vision, and of this we hear little, is the proposal to disarm the world. The financial burden which this would lift is enormous. Men fully appreciate that 93 per cent of all Federal appro- priations are made for war, past, present and future. But to women of America, disarmament does not mean

The Great Lake Project

For more than twenty five years people along the Great Lakes have been agitating a waterways through the St Lawrence to the Ocean. Can ada is thoroughly in accord with the project and has made extensive de- velopments of the river to permit it's use by vessels drawing twenty five feet or more of water. The pro- ject has not been very active in late years though it is the subject of pending legislation in Congress. If, opposition is the life of endeavor there may be something doing that will put the waterways project in the foreground. A plan has been worked out for a series of canals to make the lakes-to-ocean route an ex- clusively American project. 1t ap- pears in some quarters that New York State regards the St. Lawrence route as inimical to the Erie Canal. Other broad-minded people say that eventually the St. Lawrence route and the waterway through the Uni ted States territory will both be de- veloped. From an engineering stand point neither scheme is as difficult as was the building of the Panama Canal. From the head of the Great Lakes there are coming stories at this time showing how easy it would be to transport the grain crops of the Northwest by water, if the routes were open to he Atlantic seaboard. Inasmuch as there is an admitted lack of transportation facilities, this argument is doubtless having it's ef- feet, and may influence Congress in bringing the lakes-to-ocean project to the front at the coming session of Congress.

Railway Recuperation

All traffic records were broken the week of September 25 when G94,687 cars were loaded. Shortage of cars meant shortage of goods, particular ly of coal Among the surprising turns in the railroad situation is tie fact that in Chicago it has been dis covered that there are from 10 to 15 per cent more men on the railroad
 payrolls, particularly in the clerical and equipment departments, than are needed. The Pennsylvania railroad is also understood to have found that they had superfluous number of employees in some divisions of the work. Thus, it appears that the rail-

so much saving in money. It means that by every gun, every battlesbip, every piece of fighting machinery we scrap, by just so much have we re- duced the chances of war, and that is what American women, and wom- en all over the world want.
 American women are at this time more concerned with the sufferings and needs of Europe, the undernour- ished women and children, than they are with the cry which Republicans are setting up, namely Americas su- periority in finance, resources and trade, which prestige must be main tained, no matter what the cost in spiritual disintegration.

Watch Is Grow

The population of the United States increased 14.9 during the past ten years. This was considera- bie; nevertheless the ten year period ending in 1910 showed an increase of 2 per cent. The Director of the Census has been explaining the slackening off of our growth, and he attributes 1t to the curtailing of im- migration during the war, the infu- enza epidemic and the casualties of war. His conclusions have been re- sisted by good many writers, all of whom seem to overlook the pet topic of a former President who talked a good deal about race suicide.

BIGELOW BUYS STAMPS
Arkansas Town Buys Over S200 In
 Baby Bonds in Month

Just as an indication of the man. ner in which Government Savings Stamps are still being sold, the work of w. E. Jones, postmaster at Bige- low, Ark, is cited for the month of September.
 Postmaster Jones has written the Savings Division of the Treasury De- partment at St. Louis that his sales for September were 40 Savings Stamps of maturity value of S5 each, or S200 His sales also included "A Thrift Stamps valued at $6.
 Postmaster Jones says this is only an average months sale, and that during the approaching winter his sales will largely exceed this.

The Record Corn Crop

The Agricultural Department counts on a yield of 3,216, ,000 bushels of corn this year, which beats all records by more than 9,000,000 bushels. Kansas, Nebraska and Mis- souri have the bumper crops that swell the big total. And while quan- tity looks fine in print the farmers are disappointed by the fact that the price of corn which in the middle of June was S1.S0 per bushel has fallen for December delivery to less than S1.00 bushel. It is the first time since February, 1917, that corn in Chicago has sold under S1.00 per bushel. The high point was $2.36 in August, 1917.
 Production figures on agricultu- ral crops of the world, assembled by the International Agricultural Insti- ute at Rome, show greatly increased yields in most every country. The nations whose people suffered from lack of food during the war are about to be fed-up and Mother Earth has provided bountifully of food stuff for all her children.

roads during the sixteen months that they were under Government control started to copy the inefficient meth ods found everywhere in Government employment, which results from stuffing the payroll in order to make places for somebody or other. The country has fortunately, perhaps narrowly, escaped from being com mitted to an experiment of running the railways for the benefit of the workers rather than that of the con sumers of goods. This would have been as lamentable as the demon stration that some of the railways had been run in the past for the ben eft of security manipulators. The new pages in the history of the rail- ways promise to be brighter than the earlier ones.
