Club Intended for Sen Harding Flies
Back On Attackers Own Head.

Harding" say in its leading editorial.
issue of June 18th. under the caption
'ilarding's Banking Theories:
"As governor of the federal reserve
board, Senator Harding has already
given the people an opportunity To
measure his ability as a student of ma
tiona economies.
'rhe problem OF reducing the high
cost OF living is traced directly to our
inflated credits and it is a matter of
common opi,:ion that one of the most
emphatic ways to bring down the high
prices is TO tighten the credit strings
of our federal reserve banks. As gov
crnc- OF the board, the Republican
presidential ncn.i--ec cxper'me-tet
with tue plan. But instead Of tighten
ing all of the fadel al reserve banks,
he frightened only one, the tenth dis
trict federal reserve bank at Kansas
City.
"Tlse reserve bank at New York,
where approximately nine-tenths OF the
speculation of The country is carried
on, was virturlly Jeff free while the
Kansas City bank, in The hea t of the
great food producing middlewest, was
frightened so decisively that farmers
and cattlenen were in many cases un-
able to borrow money to tide them
over the coming season
'In other words, through Senator
Harding's action, wild speculation was
permitted to continue while sound pro-
ductioa was ret1rded. The youngest
follower of economies will see that this
acton merely aggravates the situation.
The Republican nominee for president
will find it difficult to win the con
f.oenee of thousands of voters through
out The middlewest because Sf his
blu.dering with the federal reserve
banks to deflate the natioI's credits.
The criticism is Legitimate one. but
it applies not to Senator Harding. who
is not governor of the federal reserv"
boar, but to WIZ. p. C. Harding,
Wilson appointee, who is. Secretary
of the Treasury Carter Glass is Ch'ir-
man Of the beard. 1t is. interesting
to know wha. this Wilson organ would
really think of the operations OF the
federal reserve .ystem under Wilsonian
il it were ne an admin
istraticn affair. Uaintentionally the
Lincoln Star has called attention to
one Of the numerous methods by which
the present national administration has
restricted legitimate credit and foster
ed speculative crncit. and has given II
very good reason why the administra-
tion which has So manipulated the
banking system ought to be retired
from power.-National Republican.

Kansas City, June 22.-Harvest of
the wheat crop in Kansas. the largest
bread-grain producing state in the
country, was begun last week. Cat
ting thus far has been confined to
southern portions Of the state, but
rapid progress is being made and
cutting In more northern sections will
probably become general before the
close Of the month.
The crop Is making excellent pro-
gress. Some concern has recently
been evident as to possible damage
from hot winds in parts Of Kansas
and Nebraska, similar to that wit
messed year ago. However the pro-
longed winter and cool spring pro-
duced a very healthy stem, which is
not brittle, and the root growth is
heavy. Heads are filling we'll.
Cutting the crop in Oklahoma and
Texas already is general, and within
another week Missouri will begin her
harvest. Wheat will not reach ma
turity in Nebraska before the close Of
June Of early in July.

turn for the better today. Luigi

land workers association, the body
Npf unskilled workers of the brass fac
tories who have been on strike for
ten weeks, issued notice to strikers

the number of unemployed by many
hundreds. It may have no immediate
effect, however, on the, strike of the

chases or leaseholds would be ac-
cepted by the electorate by an over

While California harbors no ami

negotiations be entered into with
Japan to make impossible any
further "evasions' OF existing immi-
grafton agreements and to make
such agreements as rigorous as pos
sible
Governor Stephens said he feared
that the measure IL passed. might
fall short of its purpose thru the
Japanese retaining possession of

population has been more than
doubled--amounting now to s7,27s."
Altho respecting Japanese culture
and advancement and the right of
Japan to true development, Governor
Stephens held that "the people of
