The patent Office clerk was Alfred

The result was q discovery over which
the whole scientific world is breathless

The theory Is exceedingly complex
for the laymen Fortunately. the chief
point in the discovery is clear as well

WORLD WAITS ON AMERICA.

AS has been sharply called to
the attention of the Senate by
Bernard NJ. Baruch, former chair
man of the War Industries Board,
there can be no normality in
production and no substantial reduc-
tion in living cost until peace is
restored to the world, and peace
awaits the action of the United
States Senate. Hundreds of thou
sands of Europeans are still under
arms, each country fearful and
watchful of it's neighbor; so long as
they, are under arms they may
not be employed in productive pur-
suit, and they will continue under
arms until the United States ratifies
the peace treaty and. lends its
guarantee to a. status of peace.
America will be at peace when a
ercalcitrant and politics-playing
Senate forgets. craftsmanship long
enough to ratify constitutional
peace, and the passage of no make
shift resolution like the Knox
Porter resolution will suffice.

WITH A CANDIDATE IN JAIL.

! BY nominating a candidate fol
president who is serving term O1
| Imprisonment in the Federal peni-
Tertiary at Atlanta the Socialists will
| have established a political prece-
dent that is not to be held in low es-
TEEN. &
There are grea> and obvious adj
vantages in having a presidential
candidate in jail until after election
at least. For one thing, the party
will always know where to find him.
1t will know who goes to see him
and can be sure that no campaign
pledges will be made except in the
presence of the warden. There can
be no secret promises and arrange
ments under such a system.
Moreover, the candidate himself
is removed from much mischieyous
temptation. He cannot make rear
platform harangues that have to be
explained away the next day. by the
party managers. He cannot be drag
ged inc such muddle as Mr.. Hugh
es fell into in California in 1916
when his visit cost him the state.
Nor is he subject to any of the vi
cissitudes of a Rum omanism-and-
Rebellion speech such as defeated
Mr.. Blaine in 1884 because he forgot
to repudiate it at the psychological
moment.
A candidate in jail IS bound to
stay put. He cannot get out and the
| office-seekers cannot get to him. No
body can heckle him, and if the cam
paign goes wrong he has a complete
alibi which would be accepted in
amy court of record.

THE CAUSE OF BREAKING
PRICES.

u OF course you have noticed the
newspaper accounts OF the break in
}prices in many places, and you no
1 doubt have been at sea in regard to
the reason-for there is one-and a
good one. You probably have also
! noticed from the same sources that
a federal court in New York has
found a clothing concern guilty of
profiteering because it added So per
cent to the purchase, price, OF mater
ials in making up the selling price.
But that fact in itself is not supreme
| ly important. AS method Of bring
| ing prices within reasonable limits
| it can promise only scattered and un-
| impressive results. This is COM
petitive industry and still subject to
! the old law of supply and demand
under essentially peace conditions.
And that law is at work. The indi-
cations of this are becoming more
more plentiful every day, as may be
clothing and other prices. People
have become tired of and disabled
from following the inflated prices
They have been suffering quite. as
much from their own oyer-consump-
I,tion as from an underproduction
which is the certain result Of over
consumption. Let overconsumption
cease. and overproduction with
sacrifice sales all along the line will
change in the situation which is now
observably going on 1t is the con-
sequence not of arbitrary power emf
ployed by public agencies, but OF
natural laws which work slowly and
tryingly to the popular patience but
which work with force that is ir-
lesistible.

Plan to Reorganize Government.

The entire federal government will
be surveyed with a view to complete
reorganization in every department
and bureau, under the terms OF the
Smoot resolution, which provides Tor
joint congressional investigation OF
the entire Washington administra--
ton. The resolution was adopted
without a dissenting vote by the
senate. The JOINT congressional in
vestigating committee will work on
the huge problem until December,
1922. BY that, time it is hoped that
enough will be found out about the
operation OF the federal government
to enable congress to make COM
plete readjustment in every depart
ment and all bureaus.
Sen. Smoot declared that the con-
dition of many government depart
ments is almost disgrace. and
there has been no change IN the
WAYS of conducting government bus
mess since the days OF Alexander
Hamilton. No other government and
no other people in the world would
stand such state OF atfalrs, Smoot
declared.
1t is a fact we'll known to most
people in Washington that the
methods of conducting business in
many government bureaus is eX-
tremely wasteful Duplication of
work and overlapping OF business IS
common in all bureaus. Something
mus. be done to put the whole, gov
eminent service on business basis.
Three senators land three house
members will constitute the reorgani-
cation committee and it goes without
saying that the probe into every gov
eminent department. will be exact
ing and will get at the bottom OF the
poor methods Of conducting govern
ment business.
Congressman hope that the re-
organization committee will be able
to so reorganize the government that
vast sum will be saved in admins
nothing 81 the increased efficiency
that will be obtained by injecting
modern business methods into the
departments. The late Senator Aid,
rich, of Rhode Island, once declared
that he could cut in hall, the govern
ment's expenses by the installation
Of modern business methods.
