IN WASHINGTON
AFTER MARCH 4

Washington, Nov. 29.-Although
it has been understood that Pres
ident Wilson intends to devote
himself to writing after he leaves
the White House on March 4, this
became known today with a de-
gree of finality.
Mr.. Wilson will make his home
in Washington but he has not OBJ
tained a residence.
Joseph P. TuWulty, the presi-
dents secretary, plans to remain
in Washington after March 4, and
he intends to write some books
about the President with whom
he has been associated for ten
years. Mr.. Tumulty has been
offered a place on the customs
court of appeals but he has not
decided whether he will accept it.

One More Closed

Several banks in North Dakota
which have closed in the last ten
days are on the verge of reopening,
according to O. E. Lofthus, state
examiner.
The examination Of these banks
has revealed no dishonesty, as far as
the examination has gone, and the
banks can be reopened as soon as
the directors and stockholders of the
banks obtain some cash and build up
the depleted reserve.
At the SAM time, however, the
examiner made public the receipts Of
information of the closing of the To-
kio State bank in Benson county,
near the Devils Lake region.
Few Drafts Sent
The Bank of North Dakota, it is
understood, has sent out a few drafts
on bankers calling in money to meet
expected Withdrawals permitted un-
der the initiated law.
Although Mr.. Cathro had said that
the bank would have to withdraw
'pected Withdrawals, and it was un-
derstood the drafts were prepared the
first Of last week but were not sent
out as soon as expected.
The fact that the bank has sent out
but few drafts is taken as an indi-
cation that it will not, as some bank
ers expected, withdraw hundreds Of
thousands. or perhaps more than a
million dollars from banks in which
the public funds are redeposited, in
Of immediate withdraw
ais.
Unless precipitate action is taken on
the part Of the Bank Of North Da-
kota many banks feel that the situa-
tion will be disposed Of nicely. They
believe that enough county treasurers
nave stated that they wifk make any
Withdrawals of funds gradually
enough to prevent preciptate action by
the necessitating similar action on
the part of the Bank of North Da-
kOta.

Something Wrong Here.

George E. Morse, after more than 40 years
Of feeding experience on his 5oo-acre Iowa
farm. has decided TO quit the meat-producing
business.
For long Morse has been fattening 1000
steers yearly. That means quite few beef
steaks and roast ribs for many city meat eaters.
And Morse admits that he made fair profit
out OF the fattening.' But that was in former
years. Now, he insists he can't remain in the
business because there isn't q large enough
margin of profit He says he has to pay too
much for feed and doesn't get enough for the
fattened product he drives into the livestock
yard.
This in face Of the fact that city consumers
are paying the highest-ever prices for beef!
What's the matter? Here's an experienced
beef producer unable to stay on the job Of
producing beef because prices he gets are too
low. Here are millions Of meat eaters paying
more for beef than they paid before; than they
paid in the years Morse admits were profits
able to him

What's wrong?

Automobile owners OF the United States are
demanding more drastic laws for the punish
ment OF thieves who purloin cars. Ten years
imprisonment and fine Of 5000 is recon-
mended as the maximum penalty. The situa-
ton Is much like that in the days of our grand
fathers when associations were formed to dis
courage horse stealing and the penalty in some
states was death. An automobile thief has
about the same chance now as the horse thief
had then to get far enough away between two
days to elude pursuit and the new form of
banditry is as common as the old ever was in
this country.

Q. man who has worked his way to leadership
through the use Of printers ink. either In the

Formerly it was thought necessary for a
public man to have oratorical ability. Political
ambition didn't carry very far unless the indi-
vidual actuated by 1t had resounding voice
and a commanding presence and was able to

Then came the era OF the boss who hand-picked
the candidates. usually lawyers, corporation

The orator long ago wilted under the spot

wrought at night was dispelled next day when
his fluent phrases were calmly and coldly an
