FOOD PRICE BOOSTERS.

What seems to be a general decline in food
stuff prices has begun, and certain commodities,
vegetables and fruits, as wholesaled in Chicago
and st. Louis, have already come down within
the people, reach. Cabbage, for example, fell
from six dollars to two dollars crate. 4 pow
erful contributing of this reduction is the
policy of the banks to restrict loans used to hold
foods off the market. It is said that some OPP
orators have renewed their loans four or five
times in their effort to carry food products in
storage for the still higher prices they hoped to
force.
No fair minded citizen would deny a fair and
adequate profit to the farmer. And it would be
folly to do so; for he would not raise food at a
loss but content himself with supplying his own
needs But extortionate middemen, the horse
leeches of traffic, who levy outrageous toll on
everything that passes through their hands,
might well be driven into some productive busl-
ness. A crate Of poultry shipped to Chicago
from Nebraska found it's way back to Omaha
consumers having passed through eleven hand
lers each of whom added to the price. This
was somewhat exceptional, but no system under
which such things were possible should exist
No such chains Of legalized bandits should be
allowed to waylay the necessities Of life.

CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURES.

There is very general condeHllalOn ol lhe
lavish expenditure of candidates on preslden-
tial primaries Public sentiment is critical OF
{ it 2zad sees in it menace to our institutions. III
a million o1n be spsn.s the argument is, why not
a hundred millions and plutocratic control OF
our government?
The fact of the matter is, OF course, that our
ridiculous system of direct primaries is TO
blame Candidates who have no popular sup
port are out of the race before it begins. Natur-
ally therefore the ambitious and resourceful
among them endeavor to put their literature as
far as possible in the peoples hands This
lcosts money; it takes huge sum OF money TO
effectively circularize state and a greater sum
to circularize all the states. Theorists have
forced system on the country under which a
Ipoor man is at fatal disadvantage; system
which impels aspirants to spend all the money
they can raise; and in fact compels them to or
Iretire from the contest. It would seem to be up
tic the reforners who forced the fantastic sys-
tenn on the country to reform it again.
1t is not charged that any candidate has used
money corruptly. Probably it has all been ex-
pended as permitted by law. But manufac-
tured publicity and manufactured sentiment
and the employment of professional workers
and boomers are all to be condemned. There is a
feeling that it is somehow against public policy
to permit a candidate to spend too much in pro-
claiming his merits; but what too much or just
enough would be no one arises to say. 1t is
the absurd double election method of choosing
public officials that is at fault. The old caucus
and convention system, safeguarded by statute,
as it easily might be, is the best, simplest and
most satisfactory that has ever been devised.
It gave us all our great presidents, governors,
senator's, and most of them were poor men or
men Of very moderate means. The present sys-
tenn puts premium upon the longest purse;
and how this can be renedied without return
ting to the former system is far from clear.

A TEST FOR ARTICLE TEN.

Persia has asked the league of nations for
aid in repelling the advance into her territory
by the bOlshevist troops. Now comes a test for
article ten. It would seem that Persia's case
clear y comes under this article. IF it be so in
terpreted then the league by its provisions
makes it necessary that armed force be used to
maintain the Persian power over its territory.
But who will do the fighting and how extensive
a campaign must be planned and executed? 1t
was worth noting that in the speech from the
throne King George warned Great Britain Of
the need Of larger army than had been pro-
vided; and yet the army already provided was
two hundred thousand in excess Of it's pre-war
size. Foch is calling for more troops. It seems
apparent that Great Britain and France are
looking forward to need Of using armies to sup
port the claims advanced and allowed to them
in the league plan. Great Britain has a special
treaty with Persia and it may be that she ex-
poets to protect Persia in the name Of the
league. But what about the condition in Ar
menia, in Anatola in the Asatic Balkans if
war begins on the Persian frontier? 1t was in

As to a Vacation.

Omaha World Herald: The test
of a vacation is whether it is needed
or not. Many there are, unfortu-
nately. whose work is close, confning,
tedious, monotonous, who need a va
cation every year, They should have
their vacation. They should get
away to a change. They need not
only rest and recreation, they need
variety, fresh interests, a glimpse of
a different aspect of life If their
work is in city then Gods great
outdoors. with its meadows and fields
and woods and rivers and lakes and
seashores should be theirs. 1t will
help get the kinks out of their nerves
and out of their heads, They will
draw new life and inspiration from
the soil. To deny them their vaca-
tion would be bad business on the en-
ployer's part and refusal to accept
the opportunity would be very poor
judgment on their own part. Others
there are who find charm and variety
and unceasing interest in their work
and in their daily lives; who are able
to take bit of vacation every day,
or every week end; who are not ex-
hausting their energy faster than they
can replenish it. Some are so for
tunate as to have avocations as we'll
as vocations-and they don't need va
cations.

They Won't Bolt.

New York World: Both Mr. Bryan
and Senator johnson are emphatic in
their potestations that they will not
bolt. They do not have to bolt They
know better ways of accomplishing the
same result. Mr. Bryan did not bolt
in 1904. He supported Judge Parker
and made speeches. These speeches
were the most adroit republican argu-
ments that the campaign produced,
and at least 100000 democrats re
mained away from the polls Senator
Johnson, much as he opposed the nom
ination of Judge Hughes in 1916, did
not bolt, He too remained regular,
and as result of his kind of regu-
larity he carried the state of Califor-
MIA by plurality of 2Sb,Sl5, while
Judge Hughes lost the state by plur
ality of 3,773. Bolting is a crude and

WHAT is LIFE7
Is it dream that fits across the droWsy braln
That fills us with a transient Joy or fear,
And then departing, leaves no issue in its train,
But thoughts charm, and cheat, and disappear!
a snare, that lures to earnest deeds,
That holds tn immortal prize before our eyes,
Then springs the death clasp our cares and creeos
And wrecks highest hopes in sad surprise?
Is it a playground, where spend our little day,
With bubble fances, pleased with fight and fun,
Till cruel evening shadows chase from our play,
With nothing worthful ventured, nothing won?
Is it game, where mind and will, in fierce embroll
Attempt another's loss, and seek his fall;
Where man makes the victim of his iEwon spoil,
And souls are blasted in the ruthless braWl?
An no! This life of is surely than these!

Works out tasks, with hands and suppiant

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Glidden Graphic: If for no other
reason, the candidacy of Smith
Brokhart for United States senator
ought not to succeed because it is
based so largely on prejudice and
deception. False insinuation, ap-
peals to class hatred and downright
lies, form large part of the cam
paign material that is now being
used in any effort to defeat Senator
Cummins.
Manson Democrat: God pity the
republican party of Iowa if it bitches
its wagon to the Brookhart star.
RoIfe Arrow: One thing is GER
tain, and that is that A. B. Cum
Minis will poll more real republican
votes this year than he has ever
polled before, nominated or de-
feated.
Algona Upper Des Moines Repub
lican: Labor federations are oppos
ing Cummins. That's evidence that
he is the man Iowa should return to
the senate.
cIIy SulCl. 1Hc SoiALIltCO oA
forty-eight has furnished forty-eight
reasons why Senator Cummins
should be returned to congress.
Humboldt Republican: The best
shot is always the best candidate in
Mexico.
Rolfe Arrow: What's the use quar-
reling over the efficiency of the dry
law? If it's working, the drys ought
to be satisfied, and if it isn't, the
vets ought to keep still about it. The
most effective weapon right now in
favor of dryness is the price of
booze. No one but slave would
pay the price, and slavery also is
unconstitutional A thing that is un-
constitutional in two places certain
ly cannot continue.
Davenport Times: IF there was
a time when what is needed in Wash
ington is craftsmanship, instead of
demagogism, now is the time. The
Iowa senator's record is the best
answer to all the attacks that have
been made on him. And it is a
record that therefore, has been ap-
proved by labor, by the nation as a
whole and particularly by the peo-
pie of Iowa The Iowa senator be-
lieves in progress and always has
been leader in forward movements

UNIONS CAMPAIGN FUND.

Manufacturers Record: In view OF
the fact that the American Fedora
ition of Labor has announced pro-
gram whereby it seeks In the com
ing campaign to secure control not
only OF the congress of the United
States, but of the presidency as well,
la great many people have been won
dering what the financial resources
iof the federation and of union LABOR
are, and what volume Of money would
be poured into the campaign to secure
a victory for the class interests
which have so coyertly announced IN
advance their purpose.
The ascertainment OF definite
figures is difficult, but in the arg'l-
ment made by w. Jett Lauck "on be
half of 100000 railroad employees
before the railroad labor board there
is Incorporated, with approval 'The
Washington ID. C.) Budget of the
United States bureau of labor statis-
tics" and in that budget appears the
following:
Membership in labor organi-
zation always involves contribu-
tions to its support in the form
of dues. The amount or these
dues varies according to the or
ganization. The craft unions to
which many employees in the
navy-yard and other mechanical
divisions belong have, as a rule,
considerably higher dues than
the clerical workers organiza-
tions. In the absence of other
data it would seem that the most
reasonable method of arriving at
a minimum allowance for this
purpose would be to use as
guide the average amount actu-
ally paid for labor organization
dues by government employees.
An investigation on this point
showed the average expenditure
on labor organizations by sixty
four families of government en-
ployes in Washington during the
past year to have been S10.08.
1t is moderate, a very moderate,
estimate, and 1t admits that the dues
paid by clerical members of unions,
such as government employees, are
considerably lower than those paid
by 81. He'd workers.
But if the average dues paid to
railroad labor organizations alone
averaged s10.OS for each of the q
50O,0O0 employees in whose behalf

Top-Heavy "lnterchurch'

Cedar Rapids Republican: Tho
interchurch world movement seems 10
be under severe criticism. The pres.
byterians seem to have cut loose from
ut. In the great general assembly of
the church now in session in Philadel.
'phia, the movement has hardly found
a friend to defend it. The new or.
movement, which was confined to the
Presbyterians, seems also to be under
fire. Both movements are condemned
as making more of money than Of
men. They are the inventions Of
promoters who boast of their wis.
ions" but who are thinking more OF
provisions. They boast that they are
going to apply modern business meth
DDS to church affairs. But those who
have reacted call attention to the fact
that the apostles never thought of such
things and the apostles also were
wise men.
The history of the interchurch
movement, it must be confessed, reads
like modern stock salesman's cam.
paign. They capitalized their con.
Germ for three or. four hundred millions
of dollars They rented headquarters
in New York at the rate OF $500, 900
modern appliances and force of
thousand or SO clerks. Then they
bombarded the country through the
mails and sent out thousands of so
licitors to sell the stock, that is to
raise the stipulated amounts. The
money was to be used for all manner
of uplift work and for the regeneration
of the world in general But what
is called the overhead seems to be too
large and the application of the funds
seems to be indefinite. The fear is
that effective use will be made of only
small portions of the money
1t is to be feared that the reac
tionary Presbyterians in Philadelphia
are right in the matter The idea
that salvation can be made something
akin to collective bargaining may be
all modern error. 1t looks very much
like that The progress of the
church must still be made along other
lines. Millions of dollars are not
going to make millions of men over
into Christians.

TRUTH, AND FALLACY.


strikes of public utility employees which bring
distress and loss all the people, a representa-
tive of the American Federation of Labor de-
clares that ''the idea that anyone anywhere can
tell free born American to go to work or go
to jail is contrary to all our concept of liberty
There is truth in this, and fallacy as well.
Beyond all question the American people can
properly protect themselves against inconven-
ience or economic disaster by attaching certain
conditions to certain occupations which their
welfare depends. They decree that any
person who takes on himself the duties of po-
iceman, fireman, railroad worker, waterworks
emplove or soldier shall renounce, while thus
engaged, his inherent II ght as an individual to
abandon before his contract ends the task he has
agreed to do. Men who would retain the right
to quit work at will may do SO by engaging in
other vocatons and pursuits.
Heretofore the facilities of banks and their
favors have been largely at the command of
business which had security to offer, with little
regard to the ethics of the uses it was put to,
so long as they were not illegal Now, how
ever, operators are told that they cannot expect
bank aid in keeping commodities locked up for
speculative prices. The banks will discrimi-
nate against borrowers who use loans to exact
parture that the financial institutions Of the
country are now concerned TO protect the people
rather than to convenience customers and pro-
mote their business deals.
Stage beauties without makeup, without
paint or powder, artifce or establishment, un-
rouged, unkalsomined and just as nature made
them-is it possible, is it thinkable? Yet a
stage manager Of renown in New York City has
resolved to try it and see how it works. This

Carranza ran headlong to his fate. He had

FLYING MAN IS
READY TO FL|T
Marion County Board of Trade Has
Arranged for Landing Field
Near Fair Grounds

Pilot George NJ. Keightley plans to
legin his stunt flying" and passenger
carTyin ghere tomorrow If nothing
prevents he will move his plane this
afternoon TO a new landing field,
which has been arranged for. near the
feir grounds, by the Marion County
Board of Trade. Mr. Keightley, who
was major in the United States
army during the war and an instruc-
tor in the aviation school at San
Diego, Calf, expects to be in Ocala
at least a week and possibly longer.
He may open a flying school, in which
case he will be here for six weeks or
more. in his flying stunts over the
city Pilot Keightley will be assisted
by his mechanician, Paul Keen, who
will walk about on the wings of the
plane and do other stunts during the
fights.
The landing field beyond the fair
grounds which has been arranged for
by the Board of Trade, has been Sc
cured by the generosity of the estate
of Mrs. Mary Rou, of Reddick. Fla,
and Mr.. Frank Ditto of Ocala, the
owners of the property, who have
given permission for its use. The
Board of Trade has put workmen to
cleaning up the field and leveling off
some of the rough spots. This work
is being done under the direction of
Mr.. K. j. Lutes, business agent for
Pilot Keightley. The street and sani-
tury departments of the city have CO.
operated with the Board of Trade in
preparing the field.
The new landing field is convenient
ly located and the aviators who from
time to time are making cross country
place to land at Ocala.
