control of as many newspapers and
publications as possible and in this
way obtain the proper representation
before the public"
/ In this expression the radical mine
leader voiced the opinion of many
thousands of people whose own selfish
interests are considered paramount to
the statutes of good citizenship. When
ever the crook or the evil-doer is ex-
posed thru the medium of newspaper
publications, he Immediately raises
the cry that he has been misrepresent-
ed by the press. He dreams futile
dreams of starting newspaper" in
order to "place his case before the
people," That is common situation
and one with which the people them
selves are fairly familiar.
In denouncing the newspaper this
radical mine official unconsciously and
of course unintentionally, paid high
compliment to the country's journal
ism. Only those who are wrong and
who realize that they are wrong, have
any legitimate complaint about the
press. Every radical socialist, every
hair-brained fred" and every law
breaker whines about the publicity"
that fails to boost his own particular
game. He is ready and eager to see
some sort of newspaper printed
that will be biased and prejudiced;
that will contain transformation ac-
cording to his own warped intellect
and that will stimulate and minister
to the various minority class spirit.
Fortunately for the United States
it has an exceedingly clean and honest
system of newspapers. More FORUM
ately still these newspapers, for the
most part are all Independent, one
from another, and these Independent
journals are fearlessly battling for
the right-for pure Americanism. It
is an easy thing to attack newspap-
er on the score of prejudice Those

this community upon the claim
that it is something of good for
the community. We are inter-

the nonpartisan league. At the

of the league. We believe our
opinions of it are based on hon

Valuation methods will, of course, have much to do in determining the ability of the various roads to earn and pay dividends; and while there can be no doubt that, based on pres ent replacement costs, a great ma jority of the companies will show up well, more or less doubt on this point must remain until the Commerce Commission makes known its rulings. These are likely to favor the roads, despite the attitude of the Railroad Commissions from the various States, who at this weeks hearings strongly opposed the method of using prop erty investment valuations in fixing rates
 In consequence there is a chance that the shares of the common car riers will shortly come more into the speculative hmelight- The ad- vance in copper metal quotations is an encouraging sign, as it denotes that consumption is once more over taking production.
 There is no reason to change the opinion that the 1920 spring rise'' has by no means run it's course. Oc- casiona1 reactions now and then will occur, but these are to be expected in any general forward movement.

CLEWS'
 WEEKLY LETTER

There has been little new develop ment in the foreign situation during the past week. Conditions in Ger many have evidently improved but slightly, if at all, and advices con corning the conditions in that coun- try indicate clearly that little is to be expected there until such time as ex- change is restored to a more normal basis and raw materials are supplied for the purpose of enabling the Ger man population to resume work. The definite defeat of the treaty of peace by the Senate of the United States has apparently had the effect not of destroying hope that the United States would eventually become a party to it and a. member of the League of Nations, but merely that the whole situation would have to be thrashed d over in the autumn campaign with the result possibly of deferring action until a year from the present time or perhaps longer. Meantime the League of Nations itself is evidently beginning to function, although on a limited scale and with the evident probability that the more reactionary or less liberal elements will be in control of the situation. Altogether, 1t would seem that comparatively lit tie improvement in our foreign af- fairs is to be looked for in the i'm mediate future.
 Domestic Outlook Improving.
 In the financial and industrial field at home the outlook is unmistakabty improving. Reports from all over the country show full employment for labor and a fairly good condition of industrial harmony. Relatively few labor controversies are in pro-
 gTess at the present moment and
 those which now exist do not portend anything of a threatening nature Manufacturing is continuing in full volume. Wholesalers report a larg.
 CT volume of business than perhaps ever before.

Money and Banking.

The banking situation has appar- entity taken a turn for the better, the report of the reserve ratio of the Fed eral Reserve system, made public at the beginning of this week, indicating a full point of improvement, the first really definite upward movement noted for some weeks past Analysis of conditions at various Federal Re
 serve banks likewise furnishes some cause for encouragement. There has been g. certain amount of progress in the reduction of commitments on Government loan account and in the volume of commercial paper dis counted. So active has been the demand for call funds on the Stock Exchange that the supply has not been adequate to the needs of the situation, although it has been re- spectable fin volume. This shortage accounts for the advance in the rate to IA per cent. during the latter part of the week. Time funds are still very scarce. There has been some belief on the part of the fnancial community that with the apparent = provement in banking conditf .-s in different parts of the county the supply of call funds would tend grad
 uaIly to increase, the banking au- thorities possibly being willing to per- init a certain additional quantity of
 funds to be ennloyed in that way and
