to meet the just burdens Of foreign governments The
people would not willingly permit cancellation
This survey since it represents the composite opin-
ion Of our ablest business men. is interesting in many
other particulars to which alusion may be briefly
made: The majority opinion is that interest rates will
remain stationary during 1921; that the classes of
corporations finding the readiest market fer securi-
ties arc industrials. public utilities, tax-exempt bonds
Of municipalities. ard railway securities; that the su-
preme court decision holding farm loan bonds legal
will afford little immediate relief to the credit situa-
ton; that the situation with regard to cancellation Of
contracts is very serious; that exports are being cur
tailed by difficulty of arranging credits, and by cx-
isting exchange conditions; that there is n large sur
plus Of manufactured goods in all parts Of the coun-
try; that the refusal of many sellers to take losses,
and of labor to accept wage reductions are prime fac
tors in preventing sterilization of prices; that due to
labor costs, transportation charges, etc, there is n
general reduction Of production and in many instances
complete shutdown, the industries chiefly affected be-
ing copper, textiles. automobiles, farm implements,
~shipyards, rubber. clothing. shoes, lumber, canned
goods, etc.

tons now prevalent and none too good, but with the
silver lining Of promise of better and more prosper

THE YOUNGEST OF THE SCIENCES.

Speaking of young sciences there ~ Or. Einsten's
RELATIVELY which is not only young but all embracing.
Like some of the other ~strugglers for recognition it
may some day come into its own and have lots Of nice
dry books written about il. The Chicago News ia
vorite among the newer sciences is psycho-analysis
and of it the News says:
For u science that is still kicking in the cradle,
psycho-analysis has more than a little assurance. The
latest textbook on the subject, declared by some of
the experts to be the best and clearest, speaks in no
bashful tone. Why, asks the learned author, why
spend so much time on algebra and Latin, which are
of no earthly use to 1921 900 of those who study
them? Men should know more about sleep, in which
they spend one-third of their lives. One is reminded
of the advertisement of a certain brass bed concern
You spend most of your life in bed; why not buy 4
good one?'
spectfully considered. Why do people spend more
time on algebra than on the study of sleep? For one
reason. of course, because algebra cannot be man.
aged without study, while sleeping is one of the cas-
lest things most men do.
But possibly the analyst was a little care
less, and said sleep when he meant dreams. For the
study of dreams, perhaps, there is more excuse. For
instance, the exact relationship between the Welsh
rabbit and the night mare no BIOLOGIST has yet traced
II the psycho-analysts could find and extract the root
of this and kindred problems they might save a good
deal of misery.
"Psycho-analysis has proved its claim to existence
but not to q seat in the front pews of science. Men
who spend one-third of their time in sleep can hardly
be asked to give another third to the study of slumber.
But, as the baby among the sciences, psycho-analysis
is naturally importunate. New sciences always have
to bawl and gouge their way into the curriculum, but
psycho-analysis will settle down by and by and make
itself comfortable in a nice little corner in the psy-
chology department" 81

BOOSTS WYOMING HoRsEMEN.

Down in Washington, the Post has a reporter whose
mission in life is to pick out the prominent citizens
from other sections Of the country who happen to
drift into Washington and extract an interview. This
reporter discovered Senator Patrick Sullivan of Cas-
per in the attitude Of prominence the other day and
induced him to talk OF course the senator selected
the subject and it wasn't politics. That's the most
difficult subject to get him 70 talk about. Here's the
sum total of what the reporter learned:
mo riders in the world can compare with Amer
lean cowboys" said Pat Sullivan, Republican national
committeeman, of Casper, Wye, at the Willard. Fur
thermore, l understand they have some fine riders
over at Fort Myer, as / know they have in other cav
airy posts. But even the American cavalryman can
not ride like the American cowboy. When a cow
boy goes on exhibition that is the last word in horse
manship. The reason is obvious. The boys out west
begin to ride at about the same time they learn to
walk.
"The Rough Riders in the Spanish war were made
up mostly Of American cowboys. Any one who saw
that aggregation knows what good horsemanship
means. The same sight can be seen this year at Chey-
enne when some Of the old Rough Riders will have a
little show of their own and where the frontier show
will be given. We expect to have riders from every
state in the union and some from the Hawaiian islands.
'Bulldogging' and all the tricks of the trade will be
displayed for the 'tenderfeet' and others who want to
see some real wild western stuff. Here in the east
the people think they see some cowboy stunts in the
movies but the movies aren't fast enough to catch
some of the samples shown out there on the range"
Now, if the Wyoming cowpunchers' association
doesn't give Senator Sullivan a life membership with
all dues paid, and the Cheyenne Frontier Show pre-
sent him a box for the 1921 performance neither
will have done its duty.

WHY CONGRESS MARKS TIME.

The delay of final peace with Germany is not O
matter of disagreement between the executive and
legislative branches of the government. Upon the
ultimate declaration it may be assumed as settled, be
cause it is the will Of the people that peace shall be
established in that manner rather than by the Yer
sailles treaty and by participation in the League of
Nations. Official peace with the United States and
the confidence it will inspire and the advantages it
will confer, makes it altogether a thing to be coveted
upon Germanys part. Her almost unforgivable Of
fenses against the world at the outbreak and during
the continuance Of the war, her attitude toward our
late associates since the armistice, her unrepentant
spirit and want of good faith, all these things have
inspired caution on our part. We are more than will
ing to establish peace, but we want evidence stronger
than words for the future. We want assurance of
good behavior and guarantee that Germany will take
in restoring order in the world. Then will peace be
declared. Then will be give the aid we are so am
ply albeit give and of which Germany stands in such
sore need.
Brief time will prove all we desire to know. We
will not disturb any portion of the program of our
late allies by hasty action on our part. Germany is
at the end of her tether and has some realization of
her situation. She also has some vague notion that
the worlds. patience has been strained to the limit
and she cannot hope to longer evade her duty. When
the slow moving German mind finally grasps the exact
predicament in which her folly has placed her and
that it is not without hope, she will abandon her sui
ner to extricate herself. This is what the American
congress will await and this is why it is now mark
ing time.
The president has given notice of our good inten-
lions toward Germany, the senate has shown its COM
plete sympthy and approval, the house stands ready
to give the final and necessary confirmation. Ger
many must show her worthiness.

OPINION OF BANKERs AND BUSINESS MEN.

The composite opinion of the leading financiers of
the United States as gathered through the American
Bankers association shows a unanimous sentiment in
favor of the repeal of the excess profits tax; a con-
siderable majority in favor of a sales tax; a great
majority opposed to the cancellation of the debts owed
the United States by foreign countries. These opin-
ions hold good also with the business men of the ma
ton as well as the bankers, both having been included
in the referendum by the association.
The argument presented in the form of a resume
of the majority opinion expressed is worthy careful
attention.
With respect to the excess profits tax it is argued
that 1t is inequitable and unjust, intricate and diff
cult of administration, no longer productive of suffi-
cient revenue to Justify its continuance, and hamper
ing to business. Substitutes suggested are govern.
ment economy, ~refunding of the short term govern
ment bond issue and funding of floating indebtedness,
substituted taxes, sales tax, extension of income tax,
flat profits tax, and the tariff.
1t is urged on behalf of the sales tax that IL Is
equitable and universal in application and productive
OF large revenues; a number favor it because thew
believe no other better tax will produce the revenues
required. They believe the tax should be small. Its
chief opponents are the retailers.
On the subject of cancellations it is agreed mani
mously that such a course would greatly increase
taxation In the United States; that it would greatly
oepreelate government securities; and that it would
make future foreign loans almost impossible to float
IN the United States. 1t is also believed that it would
encourage reputation of private debts and contracts.
And 1t is not believed that foreign governments de-
sire this cancellation because they feel it would veal
en- efforts of European countries to restore sound II.
nancial practices. This may be a reflex of Pres;da1.
