No doubt il is true that the task

He Will have it when I get my

and she took a firm hold on the ear Of

Farmer Strongarm.

saucily. For twenty years ! have

to have Belinda let go his ear.
Figure that up, please" said Be-

Farmer Strongarm hadn't figured
long before he jumped to his feet and
held out his arms to Crooked Nose and
Judith, the fair damsel.
1T will take me half a day to figure
all this up at compound interest" he
cried, but 1 can see now that you IL
have more than enough in your purse
to buy a dozen farms. You have met
every test, my boy. Take her, and
may you be happy!"
Then there was rejoicing and merry
making. and in the midst of 1t Peggy
found herself going back home as fast
as she had come to Movieland. But
before she went out of sight she caught
one last glimpse of Crooked Nose and
Judith. They were holding tightly to
each other, while Red Beard, the mo-

cranking away at his camera.

From Other Viewpoints
Horns Sawed or In the Senate,
by ALFRED II. WILLIAMS.

Political results In Georgia have no national
meaning or purpose. The people vote the
Democratic ticket and follow the flag and up
hold tho cause OF the Union from habit and
as matters of course In the primaries, which
really are the elections, they vote persons
and not ut all policies. except in n very
vague and general way and according to their
attachments in IL feud extending hack at least
!orty-!ive years to the days of Governor Col
quit and Senator Gordon.
Nobody has defined clearly the exact
issues or causes OF quarrel. The old fact OF
human nature that the more trivial and cloudy
the provocation the more ferocious the COM
hnt is illustrated there precisely. The typical
Georgia campaign Is an appeal to animosit les
rather than presentation of argument 1t Is a
rnking over of personal records and exciting
exchange Of cpthet and insult, not invo-
cation to the reasoning capacities OF the con-
sti;ucucy.
Nevertheless. about the fourth day after tho
election common sense resumes business. The
people forget inherited, instructive and tradi-
t:onai hos,ilities and work together peacefully
and efficiently They are tanned to good order
and cooperation by association and by reali-
7ation OF their dc /. ,ndence on each other. Tho
same causes tame tho widest and frrcest men
who go To tho United States Senate. That bod y
!. the iaost potent scdative, soothing. calming
creator OF conservatism on earth 1t could give
valuable points to those citizens whose trade
Is to train to obedience and jumping through
the flaming hoops lions tigers and xebras. In
that respect II Is worth to the American
people far moro than II costs.

Easier Credits Probable

Z NCOURAGING news comes from Wash
IL ington. 1t is reported that the Federal
Reserve Board will relax It's iron grasp on
the country's credits 10 an extent that will
permit something approaching the normal
in business and industrial activity If this
be true. the next few weeks should witness
n refrigeration of all essential lines and n
gratifying heartcning OF the whole business
world. II is neither expected nor desirable
that the credit bars be let down to n point
where the SPECTATOR and the profiteers can
resume their perncious raids on the public
nor VIII the entirely proper deflation be in
teriercd with, but it is expected that the
planter, the manufacturer, the contractor
and the business man will no longer he de-
MED the right OF credit for the funds alb
sointely necessary TO the conservative con-
duct OF their operations.
IL the Reserve Board really has come to
n realization Of the error and Injustice OF
its contraction Of credits so rigid that II
failed to discriminate between essentials and
nonessontials, and has determined to vest
the banks with a little more discretionary
authority, II is hopeful step in tho right
direction. 1t is fact that cannot be dis
guiscd that In the last few months the coun-
try has been in n near-pnnic, there has boon
an alarming increase in the number of bust
ness failures, and industry has como virtu-
ally to standstill. Richmond has felt its
baneful effects in tho stoppage of its build
ing industry and the general slowing up in
every line of manufacturing and trade
TO the South generally relaxation OF
the tense credit situation resulting from a
saner application of the denation rulings
would come as n boon. 1t should have an
Immediate effect in clearing the cotton situa-
ton and in casing off those really alarming
conditions that surround the tobacco mar
kets, threatening the loss Of millions OF
dollars to Virginia and other tobacco grow
ing States. Such step will 20 far to-
"ard removing the causes OF much OF tho
present restlessness and discomfort and in
restoring tho country to its normal indus

workers themselves. But the victory over
radicalism was not complete, rs 1t appears
TO have been compromised by tho fedora
tons sanctioning tho retention of control
OF the mills. plants and factories seized by
the metal workers as an experiment, all
other factories than those In the metal
trades to be turned back to their owners.
However. tho significance of the victory
in preventing n political revolution cannot
be accomplished. 1t means that radical
ism has been checked under conditions most
favorable to its growth, and that henceforth
the working classes Of Italy will listen to
the saner counsels of conservatism. thereby
making it possible for fuller cooperation be-
tween labor and capital and the govern
ment in their rightful functioning. Under
such policy, the languishing industries OF
the country will gradually recover from the
depression and confusion into which they
havo lapsed, and increasing prosperity will
infuse new hope and larger contentment
among the population.
