The New York World seems to SIT
up o nights to plan traps for the Re
publican party. OF course, the coun-
try nowadays pays little attention to
the New York World. The nation
some time ago realized that the
World had abandoned every senti-
ment for America.
The World in its issue of yesterday
again dragged from its political Pan.
dora's box a group of questions,
which the Harding administration is
urged to answer Among these silly
queries are the following;
"When are the services of the ne
gro voter to be recognized in the mat.
ter Of patronage?
Are we going into the League of
Nations or are we going to stay out
of ito"
AS to the patronage of the negro
voter it may be answered that the Re-
publican party will award patronage
to the colored voter of the South
just as soon as the Democrats OF the
South will allow a colored man to
hold Office. To name a colored man
to a place of honor in the South at
the present time would be equivalent
to signing his death warrant. The
matter of negro patronage in the
South is wholly one for the Democrats
to solve.
AS to question number two anent

the world about that 100000 Hard

CAN'T SEE IT.

Money ought to ease up now pretty
soon. The bankers cannot apply the
screws to legitimate business enter
prise any longer with safety 10
themselves, The banks last re-
naming excuse has been discounted
by the action of the Federal Reserve
Banks in reducing the discount rate
to " per cent.
In other words, the reserve ratio
for the country now actually tops
80 per cent, after adding the 35 per
cent required against deposits, writes
the editor of Sugarman's Indicator.
Here is good news for the country
at large. The extraordinary facili-
ties extended to the bankers by the
Federal Reserve Board cannot fail in
making their accumulated reserves,
already skyhigh, available to the av-
erage business man.
In turn this will mean that mill
lions of unemployed workers will
soon be returning to their jobs. as
business picks up and the whole
country gets into business once more.
There is every indication that the
period of general stagnation has
touched bottom never to scrape 1t
again in many moons.

BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT SHOWN
BY RAILWAYS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Indica-
tions of business improvement are
seen in the net railway operating
income in June of the railroads of
the United States, which amounted
to 1000, which was $14,697,-
346 more than in May, according to
reports just filed by the carriers
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
Earnings for June, on the basis of
the tentative valuation fixed by the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
rate-making purposes under the
Transportation Act, would be at the
annual rate of return of L per cent.
compared with "a per cent the pre-
vious month. Tabulations show,
however, that the railroads fell
short S47,295,000, or Az per cent
of earning per cent contemplated
by the act.
This was, however, the largest
amount earned during any one
month by the railroads since last
November.
Shifting of railroad securities now
held by the Government to the in
vesting public will be made possible
under the Administration Railroad
Bill, James G. Davis, Director Gen
eral of Railroads, told the State
Committee on Interstate Commerce.
Mr. Davis said he believed failure
of the Transportation Act to give
authority to the Railroad Admins
tration to sell the securities must
have been an oversight.
