THEY'LL ACT WHEN THEY KNOW 1T PAYS.

1t is a good sign that President Harding seems
to have rejected sentiment as a factor in his dis
armament movement. Sentiment Is good agita-
tor but it seldom gets the signatures the dotted
line. When it to putting over the deal.
sentiment has to step back and make room for
business and politics.
For good many years lot of people wanted
to get rid of the saloon in this country They held
meetings and sang songs and gave pathetic reci-
tatfons and passed resolutions Meanwhile the pol
iticians winked knowingly and the boys in the
back room" fixed up the ticket and the barkeeps
rot a day off to serve on the election boards.
Then day business got the notion that
saloons interfered with the prompt and regular
punching of time clocks and made skilled hands
unsteady. Funds backed sentiment and politicians
saw the light.
There was a vast body Of sentiment in favor
Of disarmament. There must be no more wars
Wholesale international murder is abhorrent to all
human sensibilties But representatives elected by
the people, who are praying and sentmentalizng
and weeping, calmly sit and discuss 'the next
war" and vote huge appropriations for armies and
navies The sentiments of the people lack the
reach They fall just short Of getting results.
The is that business and politics are
not convinced of the evils of war for themselves
There are men in influence who get Jobs and con-
troll Jobs through the military machine. There
are interests that make money by making and SELL
ing war materials and there are men who got
fortunes by war conditions and other men who
hope, through gamblers chance, to make other
fortunes II other occur
Now, of course. the truth is that war out
pages every law Of economics. When few gain,

THE TOO-POWERFUL

Even bankers have their troubles. Sometimes
cratic. Perhaps they do. That may become the
natural tendency of those who hold the purse
strings anywhere However. a rule the thing
the banker insists upon is that which experience
has taught him to be essential to sound banking
Many of us have charged the great city banks
with tendency to get the rest of the country by
the throat Reactionaries and standpatters have
countered that this is the talk of radicals.
Comes now row in the American Bankers
association, meeting at Los Angeles in which state
them out of business through the medium of branch
banks. We assume that the state bankers will be
charged forthwith with having radical tendencies.
The weak naturally adhere to belief that right
makes might. Those powerful enough to overcome
all opposition adopt the policy that might makes
right
The sympathies of the Journal are all with the
former theorem. If might is to prevail let us re-
turn at once to the days of he caveman when the
strongest arm and the biggest stick the badges
of authority.
Democraces can survive only upon the basis of
equality Of opportunity and the throwing Of the
cloak of the protection of the law around the weak
To help instead of to crush, must become our ma
tonal policy.
The strong, who have caught the spirit Of serv-
ice will lend their strength to aid in protecting the
weak from the ruthless too-powerful.

THE MARKETS
Try The Associated Press

New York, Oct. THE cleavage
between artificial and actual con-
ditions In the securities markets
became more clearly defined to-
day. Trading in stocks was rather
perfunctory, while the investment
inquiry assumed more impressive
proportions.
Aside from the extensive trans
actions in Liberty bonds. and Vic
tory notes, with most of the former
at new high prices for the year,
announcement was made of the
successful flotations of two foreign
loans. The Rio de Janeiro and
Queensland (Australia) offerings,
each for $12.000,O00. were quickly
absorbed.
In the stock market dealings
were dominated by speculative
shares, chiefly secondary domestic
oils. These were lifted one to three
points evidently under professional
propulsion, on the further advance
Of prices made by producers Of
crude products.
Mexican and European oils also
were better in the absence of pres
sure although reports dealing un-
favorably with some of the foreign
owned Mexican properties were
once more actively circulated.
Standard rails and industrials
participated only moderately in
the general movement and miscel-
laneous issues, excepting motor
specialties and utilities. were in
clined to strengthen. The list re-
acted before the. close, however,
call moneys rise to 51s per cent

amounted to $4,000 shares.

THE UPWARD TREND.

There is a distinct upward trend Of business
conditions in Albuquerque. There is a house,
building movement on. which is decidedly encour-
aging, although in no wise approaching a boom.
All residences full, with the rent demand rum
ming strong There is every symptom of a good
market for properties this fall.
With large increase in the number OF Santa
Fe employees at the shops and with unemployment
at the mills everyone has a hopeful feeling.
The psychology of the situation is certainly favor
able
Albuquerque has suffered much less than has
the east during the depression. Every symptom
points to the fact that the worst is over with no
one seriously hurt
Now is the time to take heart and to show what
courage, push and reasonable daring can do for a
community.
Albuquerque is due for one Of the best winters
in her history.

millions must lose and bear burdens through lin.
gering years of misfortune and hardship. When
statesmen in cold dispassionate, busness-like
way put the problem upon that basis; when BUSH
ness and politics persuaded that this contest
in ornaments and the whole reckless train of pro-
cedure that lead only to war, are no longer in
the best interests Of the makers Of money and the
holders of public jobs the disarmament conference
would get results with dizzy suddenness
Maybe the calm, judicial. methodical mind of
Secretary Hughes foreshadows something of this
sort. Maybe the presidents recent utterances fore
cast some such program. The United States with
the bulk of the worlds gold and credits in its
vaults and a dominating commercial position,
would be able to give telling emphasis to such
arguments.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago, Oct. urgent SELL
ing based largely on reports of ele-
vator congestion here and in the
south and southwest had depress-
ing effect on the wheat market to-
day. Closing quotations were heavy
34c to 4Ac net lower. with De-
cember $1.09A to $1.09% and
May $1.13% to $1.14. Corn lost
&c to &c to 1c and oats NC to
&c. In provisions the outcome
varied from unchanged figures to
35c decline.
1t was during the last half of the
session that the setback In the
value Of wheat took place. Earlier
the tendency was chiefly in favor
of higher prices, scattered specu-
lative buying having developed on
account of halt in liquidation
and short selling. Later. however,
support was lacking. and with per-
sistent offerings. especially from
houses with northwestern connec-
tons the market rapidly gave way.
The bearish gossip current at this
juncture included assertions that
unless clearances from New Or
leans soon increased 1t would be
necessary to put railroad en-
barge against that port because of
probable exhaustion of available
storage room there. Elevators here
and In the southwest were also re-
ported as about filled. Under such
circumstances the finish was at the
lowest prices yet this season.
Corn and oats declined with
wheat. Wet weather was some
what of a check on the downward
slide of corn, but oats followed
wheat to a new low price record
