CAMPAIGN .BoNEHEADs.n

1t is believed by many political OBJ

Hughes in 1916 was due largely to the
"bonehead" moves made by his cam
paign managers. If the history of
that campaign shall be repeated this
year, the Republican system of raising

remembered as "bonehead" number

John Singer Sargent and Seymore
Thomas are the only painters besides
Miss Smith to whom President Wilson
has sat. The president is said to have
remarked that he liked her portrait
best Of the three, but Miss Smith says
modestly that Sargent's portrait of the
president is not mis- best work.
She is proudest of having painted
the president. and the coming presi-
dent-whichever he is-and after that
she likes to remember that she Won
the gold medal of the National Acad-
envy of Design in 1915, before she had
graduated.
As for the future, she finds Wash
lington so much more homelike than
New York and so full of fascinating
types that she expects to live here. In
the fall she is to paint six members
of the diplomatic corps households.
She is not at liberty to give the names
OF the sitters at present. One of them,
an ambassadors wife, is to be painted
in her national costume. which will be
novelty for the artist, after a long
siege of frock coats and uniforms.

no doubt follow the crowd to be done

BUsINEss Grows WARY.

The American Wooden company has
announced that it is about to resume
operations after a shutdown lasting
several weeks. But at the same time
there appear reports of partial shut
downs or short time in other indus
tries.
One big motor car company has an
nounced the abandonment OF a six-day
week production program and has
gone on a four day basis. Some mo-
tor car companies have virtually
stopped production. This must have
an effect upon labor. since it is being
done, # is said, because industries.
such as the automobile industry. can
not take chance of reducing the cost
OF their commodities by production
beyond a saturation point, while Ia
Dor costs and material costs remain
high and give evidences OF going
higher.
But the results are almost the same
as II wages were lower, inasmuch as
the laborer-skilled or unskilled-
who worked for those plants. is not
getting six days pay between Monday
and Monday. Where a month ago a
skilled worker went home with sixty
or seventy-five dollars in his pocket
each week. today he is going home
with ten or fifteen dollars less. It is
all declared to be part of the scheme
of credit deflation. which is bound to
be unpleasant, even IL it remain grad
ual in its operation. as it is today.
that business has entered a period of
price readjustment. Retail sales re-
main fair and commodities seem to be
moving freely, according to CONNER
cial reports. But there is an undoubt-
ed indication that the purchasers are
discriminating more and more against
abnormal prices. They are shopping
around; they are getting away from
unwarranted purchases of luxuries
and extravagances.
AS sales of extravaganees decrease,
by just so much will capital be re-
leased for use in the production of es-
sentials, and as that production in
creases. the price of them should de-
crease.
Extreme caution is appearing in
many industries Dealers appear to
be uneasy lest they may find them
selves stocked with goods and supplies
for which they paid more money than
they will be able to obtain from their
customers. Producers and manufac-
turers, sensing the hesitancy on the
part Of the general public to spend its
money with its previous abandon. and
alive to the increasing costs of labor
and transportation. refuse to produce
in quantities which marked their eff
forts six months ago.

note telling what not to do, if ex-
pressed in the language of this copn-

this: IF you want to play in this game

actually said was: Notwithstanding
the sympathetic attitude of our allies.
the Polish nation had to face the dan
ger alone and political events proved
that it must in the first place rely
upon its own military strength. If
military operations necessitated the
measures to prevent a renewed fnya-
sion of Poland it could hardly be con-
sidcrcd fair that artificial boundaries
that do not bind one opponent should
interfere with the military operations
of the other" This of course is more
polite but hardly less pointed than
the other.
