OLD SOLDIERS

Another instance When Senate,
Cummins Saw That Veteran
Was Not Fired From
His Office.
LEY Smith D. Fry-1

WASHINGTON, May Is. - Only
those who have resided long in the
capital city Of this nation can under
stand what immense volumes OF un.
written history appear before our
eyes concerning which the people
know nothing whatever.
You read Of bills introduced in the
senate or in the house of represen.
taives, and sometimes you are in
terested in brief reports or debates.
But, in addition to those great things
of national interest, our statesmen
do many grand and noble things
which are so small alongside OF con-
gressional legislation that nothing is
ever seen in print concerning those
deeds of worth and goodness.
For example, soon after Senator
Cummins prevented the needless dis
charge Of Captain CASTOR, OF the old
First Iowa cavalry, the senator was
informed by Colonel Hepburn that
Captain Pete Riley, of the old Second
Iowa cavalry, was about to be dis.
to make room for another
ex-confederate soldier.
Now, to understand this story you
must realize that Colonel Hepburn
had been an aggressive opponent Of
the senatorial efforts OF Governor
Cummins. and that Captain Riley had
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1920-05-15

also been political opponent OF Gov
ernor Cummins. Nevertheless, as
soon as Senator Cummins learned
that another Iowa soldier OF the civil
war was in danger Of losing his posi-
ton. Senator Cummins went right to
the front In his behalf. just as posi-
lively and aggressively as Senator
Allison or Senator Gear would have
done Senator Cummins went SO far
as to make the threat that he would
discuss the case on the floor of the
senate. And thus. because Iowa had
a senator bigger than to cherish en-
mites and strong enough to fight for
the union veterans, Captain Riley,
the hero OF the battle of Bonneville,
retained his place until the close of
mis- earthly career. Senator Cum
minis. in all things. has made good.

lof the world which he found in an old geogra-
h ply To travel on the seas was almost second
mature to the men of the early colonial period.
This condition continued until just before the
civil war, when some of the helpful legislation
was repealed. During the war our merchant
marine was destroyed by privateers, and our
former position in world commerce was lost.
With the invention of the steel ship, Great
Britain forged rapidly ahead and the United
States fell behind, with the result that in both
the Spanish war and the recent European war,
the United States was dependent upon foreign
vessels for the transportation of troops and the
carrying of supplies
Inventive genius in America has suffered no
decline. In other lines of enterprise it has sue
ceeded as well as ever. We have recently been
impressed with a fact which we had overlooked,
that necessity requires the construction OF ships
in American yards and the sailing of those ships
under the American flag. With our genius and
resources of materials still intact necessity will
once more restore American ships to the seven
seas.

for goods have been cancelled
recently. They observe the ac-
ton as Indicative of a feeling on
the part of the retailer and the
jobber that the public has re-
solved upon a restricted buying
program.
1t was certain that reduced
trade would shortly register the
public's disapproval Of present
prices. The overall crusade was
expressive of the widespread re-
sentiment against high prices. In
the last several months the pub
lie has awakened to its respon-
sibility for existing market con-
ditions and is today observing
its opportunity to force a lower
ing of living costs
On every hand is to be heard
declarations of individuals to the
effect that they have taken re-
solve to buy only that which they
actually need. Only recently sew
eral local men were discussing
prices. and although they rank
perhaps as the highest salaried
men in this city. they have been
practicing as strict economy as
others earning perhaps third
Of their monthly salaries.
Business generally has sensed
this decision of the public to EN-
ploy the only weapon at its COM
mand which Is its buying power
and the boycott This is the
reason for the cancellation of or,

the spectators, for when the
market is limited the incentive
and the opportunities in specula-

There can be no effective cor
ners when a surplus is created.
Those who have sought to make
money by Withholding commodi-
ties from the market will be
forced to take loss. This is the
one way for the poor consumer
to get back at those who would
bleed him. He holds the power
to punish those who would VIC
timke him for their individual
profit. A falling market will
force those who have attempted
to force up prices by withholding
goods from the market to dump
or take a greater loss. This is a
good time to smoke the prof

duced buying.

THE PEAK HAS BEEN REACHED

Des Moines Capital: Statisti-
clan Babson, whose word goes a
long way in the economic world.
does not believe that financial
and commercial conditions in the
United States can be brought to
a sane basis without q crash He
notes with a good deal of inter
est that the banks are making
everybody come TO showdown
and that they are lending less
money; that in no case are they
lending for speculative purposes,
and he realizes that the banks
are hopeful
He discovers that John Wanna
maker has cut prices on vast
volumes of merchandise 20 per
cent and he regards this as a
good sign. But he says one thing
must happen in order to prevent
smash--production must in
crease. He says nothing is gained
by any man through securing a
niger wage for doing less than he
did before. Such a circumstance
doesn't even help the man who
gets Inc wage.
He does not mention the fact
that speculative buying has abb
sorbed so many million dollars.
Possibly speculative buying has
all been in the west The unpaid
notes for speculative stocks are
in the banks and must be paid.
The banks will require it The
men who pay the notes and get
practically nothing in return are
not going to be able to help eco
nomic conditions.
Babson thinks that the end has
arrived SO far as initiation is con-
cerned. He does not think any
one would have nerve enough to
continue TO put the screws to the
public.
Wage workers and farmers will
have much to do with restoring
peace in the commercial world.
The farmers declare they are GO
ing to plant as much as ever they
did and they are going to prepare
for hog crops to satisfy the users
of pork. But some sanity must
come from labor leadership and
labor and capital must cooperate
or there will be no prosperity for
anybody.
The Capitals avice to all wage
workers who are getting top
notch wages is to put some of
the money into the savings
banks, for within six months the
man may be hunting the job,
while the job is now hunting the
man
