Party Responsibility.

The gravest obligation confronting
the Republican party today is the OBJ
legation which rests on its shoulders as
a result of the overwhelming victory
at the polls. The poorest kind of a
citizen is the one who shouts loudest
during the campaign and then goes to
sleep for four years, forgetting that
his party has not as yet fulfilled the
confidence reposed in it by the Amer
lean people. A real citizen and real
American is one who is sufficiently in
terested in government and govern
ment's offspring, politics, that he is
on the job every day of every year.
Certainly the Republican party has
a great responsibility and golden op-
portunity ahead. Big problems must
be squarely met. Probably only wise
est craftsmanship can avert a serious

the tons loaded per car during the

For some time the public has been
pelted with Advertisements quoting
clothing at materially reduced prices
Clothing has been cropping for its old
place. While this class of merchan-
disc has not yet old prices and prob
ably never will. the purchasing pub
lie has had its confidence resorted in
this class of goods. Advertising
meant movement because no one an
ticipates that the price level will for
some years, if ever, the prewar basis.
But on the sidelines watching this
activity have been business houses
engaged in handling hardware, steel
and iron goods, farm machinery, gaso-
line engines and what not. And they
couldn't reduce prices. Probably they
can't yet But that stuff isn't moving
the way it should be. Long ago the
public decided against continuing to
pay high prices. And here in the
west the financial condition has
reached such a place that the public
can't buy. even if they want to. That
is. the purchasing power is not here
in the way that it was during the
war.
Certain goods have been coming
down and the public generally has ex-
pected everything to fall. No one as
. consequence has felt the Tightening

implements and dealers in staple hard
wares. And they have been victims

beyond their power to meet. Like
everyone else who is loaded up with
high priced stuff, they probably will
be called upon in the near future to
take heavy losses. But they will
nevertheless welcome the price de-
cline when it comes. 1t will be some
time, however. before reductions in
steel reach the average consumer. Steel
and steel products are not plastic
and given to quick turnovers as are
groceries and clothing. In the mean
while, there is no reason why any
person, as an individual should not
do his bit to restore confidence and
better business. If you need hard
ware, buy it now.

LABOR SHOWS RECORD FOR
EFFICIENCY.

The fact that the railroads under
private management have beaten all
records under federal control, when
considering the volume of business
turned over, is a victory that appears
to belong largely to the employees of
the roads.
1t seems only a few weeks ago,
when the newspapers were filled with
accounts of decreased production"
and the accounts told how. in case
after case, an equal number of en-
ployes on a certain piece of work,
fell far short in the accomplishment
of results after the war from what
had been established as an average
record before the war. We remem-
Der an instance where an exact cal
culation showed that under identical
conditions in certain shop, the de-
crease in production was 40 per cent
less in 1919 than in 1915. Even so
recently as last spring the switch
mems strikes on the railroads were
featured as evidence of the disinter-
estedness of railroad employees in their
jobs.
But getting back to results, it is
shown that the railroads have beaten
all records for handling freight and
passenger business during the present
year, and the accomplishments during
the past three months, since all labor
disturbances have subsidized. show
conclusively that the wage-workers
on the railroads, are delivering hun
dred cents on the dollar in service.
And since there are considerably over
100000 railroad men in the country,
it seems reasonable to suppose that
laborers in other industries where the
disputes between employers and en-
ployes have been smoothed out, are
performing their part in returning the
full volume of production to their
employers.
In short, railroad employees have
disproved the charge that they are
not rendering full service-for the
proof that has been submitted to show
that the railroads have beaten all rec
ords, carries with it the further ad-
mission and proof that the thing
would not have been possible at all,
except for a degree of efficiency
among the workmen equal, if not
greater than was obtained in the pre-
war days.
1t is also equally clear that the ship
pers have given their full co-opera-
ton in carrying out the railroad pro-
gram to speed up production. The
result of it all is the clearing up OF
practically all freight congestion, and
the rendering of an added ability to
the railroads to care for all demands
upon them, including the handling Of
coal, grain, and the products of in
dustries.

PERIOD OF WATCHFUL
WAITING AT HAND.

When one speaks Of "watchful watt
ing" it usually suggests our relations
with Mexico. 1t is correct that this
policy is now in full effect, and Wash
ington expects that the new turn of
events to the southwest will continue
to show improvement
But "watchful waiting" is given a
new significance by the fact that the
Wilson administration will have much
to propose during the coming three
months, while congress will pursue
the policy of "watchful waiting" or
nothing doing" until the Harding ad-
ministration goes into effect.

Students pay 800 for a years

of the high cost of food, board has
risen from SIS to s34 a month.
The institute has grown rapidly
from a modest start In 1868. Negro
and Indian students attend. 1t Is
without endowment, although large
gifts have been made by philan-
thropic men of wealth. Gifts ex-
ceeding $4,000 each year are re-
au:red for its maintenance. which
the directors never have failed to
secure.
Its aim is to fit students to be
teachers and leaders. Among its
graduates are Booker T. Washing
ton and Robert r. Morton. both
presidents of Tuskegee Institute.
More than 500 students, teachers
and alumni served in the world

was killed.
Men are given a thorough mill

The institution Is co-educational
but the men and women students
meet only at meals, when they sit
on opposite sides of the table.
Hymns are sung before every meal.
No language other than English
is taught. The students study sci
ences having practical application
