good citizens according to their

reformed and that he'd go straight IL
he were pardoned. The postofflce
folk did not think so, neither did the
department Of justice. They insisted
the man must not be pardoned. But
Tim was so sure, so positive. how
ever, that his friend had changed
that I decided to favor him.
"T'1l give, you this pardon, Tim

"Tim agreed to this. He would
have agreed to anything and kept his
agreement, too. He got the pardon
and went his way. I forgot all about
the thing until just one year after. I

period prices reached their peak not during the
war, but one year later At basis OF loO IN
1860, they rose to 1902 in 1864 and to 2loHs IN

A PANIC IS UNTHINKABLE.

The New York Sun considers any panic OF the
old-fashioned kind we'll nigh unthinkable
These dreadful periodical visitations were due
to large SURPRISES of commodities which could
not be disposed of at cost pices, to overloaded
shelves and bursting warehouses; to carry which
kept bank loans tied up. No such condition
now exists or is in sight. Misrepresentation,
shortage of raw materials and industries behind
in their orders are the rule; and only some
calamity improbable and unforeseen could bring
on panic. Our troubles, as the Sun sees 1t,
are largely attributable TO "hysterical price
commissions, outrageous criminal profiteering
and fraudulent wage demands for work, lazily,
partly and shabbily performed"

HOW FAR WILL PRICES FALL?

The decline in prices seems at last to have
made if appearance in almost every quarter,
and the main question now in the mind OF the
public and the businessman Is ''How far Will
prices fall?'
There are numerous forces pulling both ways
al prices Tending to pull them down are the
shortage OF credit which may continue TO force
some goods on the market; the economy move
rment; the protest against high prices; the tall
ing off in purchasing power OF people who mad
sold their Liberty bonds and consumed accumu-
lated savings; and finally, the very belief that
prices are due for decline. In addition, IN
Icreased production is Indicated IN some lines
ITending to keep prices up are the continued
shortages,o of many commodities, with little pros
pect for relief; the deficiency Of railroad equip
Iment, which helps to create shortage OF all
kinds of goods at the points at which they are
wanted and the disappointing outlook for lead
ing crops, such as wheat and cotton, with
the prospect of poor crops IN general because
of the farm labor shortage Also tending to
hold prices up are the high costs of production,
high wages, and the labor shortage which
works at the same time to MAINTAIN nigh wages
and to limit production
A highly important factor, though of uncer
tain influence, is our foreign trade. Though
substantially below the March figures our April
exports were the fifth largest of any month in
our history 1t is altogether likely, however,
that this trade must soon or late begin to show
q Decline unless credit is literally forthcoming.
The proper way TO finance this export trade is
bv long-te1m investment loans For the past
year OF. more the burden of financing this export
trade has been th1own upon the banks. The
present alternative is either that these extern
sions Of credit will suddenly come to a stop, be-
cause Of the present scarcity Of credit, or that

second course would mean not only that COM

tinued sales to Europe, but that continued

commodities still more

A VIRGINIA LAW.

1t would appear that Virginia mas an ancient
law spasmodically enforced under which cltl-
zens must either go to church on Sundays or re-
main indoors The sight of inhabitants to
whom Incidence or decorous frst-day activities
appeal more strongly than divine worship, IN
flames the faithful beyond endurance, and the
sheriff of Accomoc county, man with deep
convictions in the matter of church-golng, set
out to enforce the law. Finding boy OF some
teen years sitting on the porch OF his home VINO
contumaciously refused to go indoors this zeal
GUS official had high words with him and I'm
ally shot him in the stomach. Why the sheriff
was not in church at the time is not entirely
clear in accounts of the incident at hand. Per-
haps he was on the way there; perhaps the duty
laid on him of seeing that others worsh1pped
kept him away; or he may be antlnomlnal IN his
leanings and feel that his faith frees him from
the obligations of the law. In any event he
was where he was and upheld In his own Ell
Elective way the dignity Of the law
1t is possible that sticklers for personal llb-
erty may question the propriety Of such en-
actments and they do seem inconsistent with
certain long accepted principles But theory
of individual rights and obliations new to the
founders of our republic prevails today. Gti-
zens have been shot for having fluids in their
possession of which people Of different tastes
do not approve, and may be manhandled on
suspicion Of having them in their pockets, and
there seems to be no limit to which enactments
regulative of personal conduct cannot be car
Iried.

''What is now most needed is business con-
fdence," says a proponent of the building
tr AIDES in current pamphlet. Very true. And
prosperity generally is the result of confidence.
But confidence itself comes from belief that
business and financial conditions are sound and
rooted in economic law. There is wide doubt
of this as to our present business condition.
Confidence has been shaken during the past six
months, not strengthened. Liquidation of
stocks and deflation of prices and credits are
desirable, but if they run to point where con-
fdence is absolutely destroyed, then there will
be real danger.

HARDING is n 0 7
AGAINST FARMERS
Admits Farm'r Program
May Work Out
Right

Just recently in the New Repub-
lic," Walter W. Liggett, published the
result of an interview he had with
Senator Harding, Republican candi-
date for President. Mr.. Eggett, not
being a Republican, could hardly be
expected. to favor Mr.. Harding or to
give him any advangtage. On the
other hand, Mr.. Liggett is a good
newspaper man and would not know
ingly misquote or put Mr.. Harding
in a false light.
The portion Of the interview that
interests US is that where Mr.. Liggett
asks the Senator what he thinks of
the North Dakota industrial program
the state owned flour mills and ele-
v~ators, The Bank Of North Dakota,
state hail insurance and the home
building law.
Instead of the usual denunication
of the program as being socialistic
and red radical, Senator Harding
showed a wide and generous compre-
hension of our problems and of ou1
efforts to solve them in our own way
He did not know how our plans have
worked-but he did know that the
farmers had SERIOUS and legitimate
grievances" We ourselves are only
on the first year Of our new program
We do not know that it will be sue.
cessful-we do, however, believe tina
it will be and we will do all possible
to make it SO. This plan was tn,
ONLY ONE OFFERED and the fam
ers said: LETS TRY IT."
Then the Senator said: 81 don't lik
the policy Of state ownership-BU.
I MAY BE WRONG! If the farmer
of North Dakota have settled taci
wrongs and hardships in a way Tia
satisfies them-well, then, buIIy IL
them! I may be wrong and I a,
not too old to learn"
That does not sound a bit lik
the talk Of the old party Republican
in North Dakota. 1t is nothing at a
similar to the editorials we read
the Grand Forks Herald and tt
Fargo Forum. It does not sound
bit like the speeches and talks of R.
publican orators who are trying
elect a Democratic governor and SCI
ator in the state.
