Americans Mt those ports and in the

Hoover for Trade Board
Check to End Speculation
Deals in Foodstuffs Must Be
Stopped to Curb Prices,
He Tells kansans

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 14-Control of
boards of trade to prevent price specu-
lation in farm products was advocated
by Herbert Hoover, former Food Ad-
ninlstrator, in talk to-day at con-
ference in this city with heads OF
Kansas farm organizations, bankers,
grain men and business men.
Mr.. Hoover maintained that boards
of trade have as important a part to
maintain in the economic life of the
nation as have banks.
The board performs q great public
service in that it reflects demands and
supplies for persons dealing on the
markets." said Mr.. Hoover. I'VE must
find some method Of regulating this
great institution. Probably the best
remedy would be to limit the size of
transactions SO that no one person or
group could corner the market and
manipulate prices"
American standards of living are now
on the decline, the food authority said
With lower prices for food commodi-
ties there must be decline in wages
he said. at is all question of rela-
tivity. The farmer would be satisfied
with 75-cent wheat if wages and other
elements which enter into his cost of
production were on the same scale. On
the other hand labor can afford to
work for less if the cost of living is
reduced"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-The resig-

in instructions from the department
which Mr.. Palmer described as merely

Il am certain that Mr.. Simms and
Judge Anderson must recall my state
ment," Mr.. Palmer's statement said.
that the facts which were the basis
for the contempt proceedings should
rot again be used against these de
PENDANTS. l am, therefore, much sur
prised at Mr.. Simms's resignation. J
am sorry to have him leave the case
ar this juncture, but his resignation
has no effect upon my determination
not to allow, so far as the government
can control, prosecution OF men for an
offense which became a closed incident

would be not only unjust, but dishon-

Between Hope and Regret
Hedges Attacks Administration
at Wadsworth Meetings in
the Mohawk Valley
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

LITTLE FALLS, N. Y, Oct. a.
Declaring that the American nation
would inaugurate and not appoint a

the Mohawk Valley laughing to-day in
his talks at the various Wadsworth
meetings. The first of these was a
big affair at Ilion at noon, attended by
hundreds Of men employed in the shops
there. and the last was in this city to-
night
President Wilson was characterized
by Mr.. Hedges as a cross between a
hope and regret. AS for Wilson's
new freedom, the words, according to
Mr.. Hedges's viewpoint, meant freedom
from anything in the Constitution,
freedom to substitute noise for brains,
and freedom to go abroad when no <ne
wanted him to.
Senator Wadsworth, speaking at
Herkimer, devoted the major part Of
his efforts to explaining in detail the
orgy of spending that has characterized
the Dem ocratic national Administra-
ton. "The Democrats are spending
sl5,000,0O0 a day." said the Senator
and running behind at that. And
what is more, we are paying, always
paying, the bills, with the Admins
tration at Washington having not the
slightest concern"
