SENATOR KENYON NOT A CANDI-
DATE FOR JUDGESHIP,

Last Thursday Senator Kenyon is
sued the following statement:
II shall not be a candidate for
appointment to the position made
vacant by Judge Reeds resigna-
ton"
All the newspaper articles about the
probability or possibility of Senator
Kenyon accepting an appointment as
a district Judge were most uncommon
nonsense.
Why should one of the most intlu-
entail members of the United States
senate resign from that powerful and
useful legislative body to accept a
federal judgeship Of the lowest rank
with a yearly salary of only $4,000?
There never was more than very
remote possibility of Senator Kenyon
doing any such thing. But that re-
mote possibility was considered worth
striving for by few men here in
Iowa and large number of men in
different parts of the country. The
few Iowa men wanted chance to
draw senatorial seat, and they and
their friends were quite certain
that Mr.. Kenyon would make a great
judge. The large number of men in
different parts of the country, who
helped spread the propaganda of
Kenyon for judge, are men who have
no use for an honest and independent
man in the United States Senate.
Senator Kenyon is chairman of the
agricultural "bloc,' which at the
present time is battling for the rights
of the masses over the provisions of
the revenue bill that will soon be
enacted by congress.

THE MAKERS OF GOOD AND BAD
TIMES.

The men who control the moneys
and credits of the country have alb
s0lute control of the country's bust
ness. They can by reducing the mon
ey in circulation reduce the price Of
all products and make times
bad, or by restoring the money vol
ume make times good just as they
wish and will.
The scarce money men brought about
business stagnation and ruin and
bankruptcy in 1896. Then they con-
tended that lack Of confidence in the
Cleveland administration, and not
scarcity of money was responsible for
the horrible business conditions OF
that period. They can not hide be-
hind any such false contention as that
at the present time. They are shrinking
the currency at the present time, and
its effects upon business and prices
are beyond controversy. And the in
justice of such a policy exceeds all
the robberies of century
Probably 80 per cent of the pres
ent Indebtedness of the country both
public and private, was contracted at
a time when the money of the country
amounted to between $50 and $50 per
capita. Measured by that volume OF
money corn was worth $1.50 per BUSH
ell and hogs SIS per hundred, and 9TH
er property sold at corresponding pric-
es. Debts were contracted on that
basis, on the basis of the volume OF
money then in circulation. If that
money volume had not been changed
the debts could now be paid with the
same amount of labor or property
as when they were contracted, and
that would be just and fair as be-
tween debtor and creditor. But is
it not UNANIMOUSLY unjust to change
the conditions so that the farmer has
to sell three times as much corn and
hogs at the present time to pay his
debts as he otherwise would have had
to sell? E<E~En ..et@'
The Russian Bolsheviki 60 out. and
with strong-ar methods take what
hey want from the Russian Peasants.
Our big financial interests, that nest
and center in New York City. when
they want to bring about similar re-
suits ON a colossal scale they shrink
the country's money supply. In that
way they can easily double the pur-
chasing power of their money
I The farmers who have to sell corn
to pay their debts contracted eighteen
months ago would be no worse
off if two-thirds of their corn
was stolen from them, and
the price of what was left remained
unchanged. It's debt paying power
would be just as much. o.

Moses so felicitiously describes it, is
now made up of fifty nations, all de-
funct, Of course, like the League. The
four great live nations now left are
Russia, Turkey, Germany and the
United States. Germany is hardly en-
titled to place in the list of the

own death warrant by seeking mem
bership in the League and will joir

Disarmament Conference, soon to as
semble at Washington, will pay little
attention to armament until the Pacif-

Japan is today the greatest menace
to the peace of the world. That coun-
try arrogantly assumes that this
country has no rights in the Pacific
based on the changes brought about
By the world war, because this coun-
try has refused to become a party to
the peace treaty. Technically that may
be correct, but it is not neighborly,
and Japan will have to come down
from that high horse or there will
be no agreement on the part of this
country to stop building a navy that
come what may will be amply suffi-
cient to protect this country.
President Wilson had trouble with
Japan over immigration, and sought
to interpose the League of Nations
between us and the yellow races of
Asia, but partisan politics willed 9TH
erwise.
Secretary of State Hughes is wise
man. He is trying to repair the DAM
age wrought by Senator Lodge and his
partisan crew. He will try and Sc
cure an agreement that will be a
guarantee of peace, and a recogni-
tion of Americas rights in the great
ocean that forms our western boun-
dairy. Let us all indulge in the hope
that he may succeed and then a dis
armament agreement will be in order.

A general letter sent out from the
office Of the Chickasla Chamber OF

appeal to the public for cooperation,
pointing out that without 1t, there

mice is necessary to attain lasting
results. The letter follows:
"Unless it is possible to secure the

terminating the rats on his place,

that no dangerous poisons are put
