members, relying upon the fact that

vile, the boilers returned and put
through the motion to reconsider and
reversed the action of the house.
Technically the action taken yes
terday is perhaps valid. The rules OF
the house have. been strictly followed.
The motion to reconsider was alive
because of the lack OF IL quorum on
previous days. ..
Morally the action taken yesterday
was a shameful trick, and from the
point Of view of the public welfare and
in the light of legislative righteous
ness an outrage upon the country.
There can be no defense for such sharp
practice, undertaken in a spirit of pet
tifoggery unbefitting a great state and
a subject of vital Importance to the
people.
Whether the courts will go behind
the certificate of the governor and the
proclamation of the federal Secretary
of State is to be seen. This action
adds Enthusiastically to the complica-
ton, already difficult, affecting the
validity of the amendment. There is
now more urgent reason than ever
for the courts to expedite the process
of appeal and decision.
Meanwhile there is a splendid chance
for another state to vote in ratifica-
ton. putting the acknowledgements of
the women this year beyond all posi-
bility Of doubt.

in whether one side or the other is the
more affluent in this campaign. but
whether either side is deluded by the
idea that the election can be bought.
They know that there is no corner on
virtue on either side Of the political
fence, and they also know that there
is no monopoly of political financial
finesse in either camp.
And so the fuss about which side has
the more money. and whether that
side has been perfectly frank about
its riches, is wearisome in its present
stage, which promises to remain the
permanent stage throughout the dis
cussion. Meanwhile what the folks
around the country are really con-
cerned about is the cost Of living, not
the cost Of campaigning.

American Industry Has Ignored
Imminent Price Drop.
Big Crops VIII Force Decline,
Declare Grain Dealers.

Minneapolis. Oct. 1.-THE hand
writing on the wall-the omen of tum-
bling war prices-was too long ignored
by American industry, F. r. Warrick,
Kansas City. told leading grain men of
the United States and Canada at their
national convention here today.
Price initiation is over" he said.
Short sighted men insisted high
prices would continue five years as
was the case after the Civil war. They
ignored the fact that after the world
war Europe, our greatest customer,
was bankrupt. Yet production con-
tinued heavily with the purchasers in
a bankrupt condition.
o., THE big grain crops of America
and Canada, and the big carry-ov
from last year, znaturalIE caused a sur
plus. Inflated prices could not con-
tinue. The world open grain market,
where supply and demand dominate,
reflected the conditions and grain
prices went thru a perfectly natural
readjustment.
This readjustment of vast economic
values has been seized upon by poll
ticians bidding for the farmer vote.
They tell the farmer he is being I'M
justly treated, that he should still re-
ceive war prices. These politicians
refuse to recognize fundamental
factsn
