HIDE AND WOOL
MARKET is PUNK
From Last Weeks City Edition

From Last Weeks City Edition
a Ladysmith hide and wool buyer
bought COW hides Wednesday at 8
cents per pound, and he is afraid that
he will not get his full investment back
on account of the present condition of
the market. About year ago buyers
were anxious to get COW hides at 36c.
The buyer referred to has orders
from one house to buy no wool at all,
for the present. A year ago he had
instructions to buy wool up to SO cents
Il pound.
1t seems that the market is all "shOt

Leadership In the senate.

Just what is able leadership in the
United States Senate depends upon the
point of view. Surely nobody can justly
find fault with a leadership which recog-
nizes the rights Of the majority and the
opinions Of that majority. Because a
leader refuses to yield to the minority II
does not follow that he is a bad leader
or an arbitrary leader:
1t has never been successfully denied by
the critics of the majority leadership in
the Senate that majority of the members
of that body are against ratification OF
the treaty of peace unchanged or unre-
served. What these changes or reserva-
tons should be is for the majority Of the
Senators to determine. They did deter.
mine.
1t was the duty of recognized leader
ship to adhere to the decision of the ma
jority. 1t would have been political
heresy for the majority leader to depart
from that decision. no matter how fast
and furious the assaults or how bitter the
attacks. Every attack on Senator Lodge
is denial of the right of the majority to
rule. What right has tho minority ia
question the leadership of any man in any
party who adheres faithfully to this fun
damental tenet of Americas political
faith:

Frank a. Munsey. owner OF the Sun
and Baltimore News, who recently pur-
chased the NEW YORK HERALD, form
ally announced yesterday that. begin
ming Sunday next, the Herald and Sun
will pass out Of existence. and there
will be published in their stead, the
result of amalgamation and partaking
in some degree the character OF both OF
its predecessors. the Sun and NEW YORK

We believe Mr.. Munsey has the right
idea in making such a consolidation
and IL is good to think that tho name
of the HEgALp will be preserved.
The Sun was founded in 1885, The
HERALD was founded in 1885. In con-
two such pioneer newspap-
ers, combining the name and prestige of
the HERALD, as made famous by the
Bennetts, with the great plant and
equipment. the journalistic energy and
of the Sun. Mr.. Mum
sey. himself a publishing genius, has a
wonderful opportunity to write a new
and unique pter In American jour
nalistic achievements.
Mr.. Munsey's splendid talents. his
keen vision and his long and varied ex-
perience, touching every point OF the
periodical business. are in themselves
sufficient argument that the sun and
NEW YoRK HERALD will be all that Mr..
Munsey's praiseworthy ambition cher
ishes and deserves. That the Sun and
New York HERALD may live long and
prosper and go from victory TO victory
is our sincere greeting to Mr.. Munsey.

arranged its income tax this year. The

compensation (Which includes tho SO

deduct whatever amount you receive

AIDING MARRIAGES.
u Ep,ror or TIE HERALD

To Tur EDITOR OF THE HERALD
! have been much interested in your let
ters from the people column, especially
that correspondence pertaining TO the
home. love, the ladies and marriage.
Surely there are souls that are created
for one another. and when these men and
women meet face to face these hearts
throb and are one, and real true happi-
ness is not single. but mated. and single
ness is against the law of nature. Yet
how very difficult it is to meet the one.
no matter how certain we may feel that
he or she is here somewhere.
Surely love is one of the most ennoblns
of human emotions. and true love trusts
the object of its alteration and jealousy
has no place there-no room for anything
but happiness.
IL seems to me that We should set our
minds on devising ways and means OF
bringing the unmarried ''marriageables"
OF both sexes together: for instance. the
fine bachelors in the West and the splen-
did and charming women OF the East.
Many of them are destined to wander
along the lonely path to old age for want
of their soul companions to help strew
the way with flowers.

would be necessary to cope with the sit-

deemed advisable to do nothing definite at

PROHIBITION TERROR"

To THE EDITOR OF THE EERAID:-
In a recent issue of the HERALD Edgar
A. Petit, of Brooklyn. falls into the usual
error Of the proliibitionists, that because
the maps of this country. as published in
the HERALD. showed an extensive dry,
area. therefore this was proof the people
wished this impractical. grave menace and
utter failure.
The truth of the matter is the majority
never wanted prohibition. The HERALD was
perfectly right in contending that it was
foisted or put over" on the people.
II it had not been for an arrogant and
well paid body. working upon subservient
legislators. prohibition would not have
been passed. 1t was the legislature, not
the people. who put'this vile thing over.
Even the federal commissioner, Mr.. Kra-
mer. now sees what an impracticabe thing
prohibition is. and is reported to suggest
that il the people do not wish it the law
should be wiped off the statute books.
And let us all hope it will be very soon. ~

This excess Of exports over imports has
caused some trepidation. and has been

Slowly Europe is recovering industrially

Governor Coolidge. Unique Position.

Governor Calvin Coolidge, of Massa-

l have never accepted, unless by silence,
efforts made by statesmen of more than
national reputation to present my name
TO the convention. have made it plain ]
could not seek this office The
question is whether I ought to permit
contest in my name for delegates in m:
own State"
This is high and dignificd platform
on which to stand. 1t is independent and
self-effacing. 1t appeals to the spirit OF
stern and sturdy worshippcrs at the
shrine of real craftsmanship. 1t stamps
Governor Coolidge as rare specimen in
the political orchard.
Nevertheless. will this attitude get
Governor Coolidge within speaking dis
tance of the nomination? Unfortunately
perhaps fortunately--the game of poll
ties is horribly practical. The astute
Massachusetts hacker of Governor Cool
idge knows this too well. He knows
that the plums belong to the one who
reaches the longest and the highest-not
necessarily with hand Of music, but
with a sort of Maxim silencer-deadiy
vet not self-revealing. The generally ac-
cepted name is 'gumshoe.'
1t is not conceivable that Governor
Coolidge's hackers will openly indorse
the Executives campaign OF indifference.
1t may be good in the abstract, but mol
worth much in the concrete. All good
citizens sincerely admire the Massa-
chusetts Governor for his patriotic and
American stand However, his position
is not only unique-it is impossible. If he
or his friends want him to get the nomi-

CLOSING OFFICES.

To THE EDITOR or THE HERAID:-
Just one word of criticism of the orders
which have been issued by DR.. Copeland
for closing offices and stores. Through
this order the offices close earlier than
the stores by an hour or more. and the
people from the said offices pile by hun
dreds into the stores. as they are given
SO much more time for shopping.
The congestion in stores Is extremely
bad. the congestion on the trains is not
relieved. In fact, have noticed that the
later hour traffic is greater than before,
as employees from both offices and stores,
for this reason, leave around the same
time.
Ii seems 10 me that enough thought has
not been given to the subject / have
heard that one of the large stores wanted
to close Mt half-past four o'clock to en-
able their people to reach their homes
early enough 20 escape congcsted tr,lins,
but We're not permitted to do so. II the
stores had been allowed to close at their
usual hour or little earlier as most OF
them desired to do. tho above condition
