KIDNAPPING AND BLACKMAIL.

The country is always startled and excited when
word is received that someone has been abducted
with top boots red bandannas, SLOUGH hats, turned
and held for ransom. Pictures of armed brigands
up in front, long moustaches and hidden canes
float before our visions. We picture the victim as
kicked and cuffed and cursed in gutterals.
When sympathies thus appealed to and
the whole thing then turns out be hoax and
effort at extortion from sympathetic, relatives
by the abductee himself, sensibilities out
ragged. We feel that the perpetrator should be
sent to Jail for imposing upon our emtions If for
other
The latest is at Sharon, Pa. A fast SON.
in-law tried to impose upon tight" father-n-
law and thus get his hands on $4,000 of the
cestral fortune 1t didn't work and the son-in-aw
is back home eating the paternal bread. Papa
in-law will sign his bond If he is arrested charged
with attempting blackman and extortion. The
-legalized daddy evidently regards the episode
family affair and not the business of the public
He would close the closet door the family skel-
etan and shut 1t from public view.
1t is to be hoped that the officials will insist
that this matter is the public business and will
proceed to make such escapades unpopular by
prompt conviction of the criminal
What business has anyone to make us feel
"creepy' UP and down our spines, anyhow?

THE CROP PROSPECTS.

The forecast of the United States department of
agriculture, based the condition of the crops
July l, and indicating yields, with the possible ex-
ception of corn, considerably lower than those Of
last year, does not necessarily that the year
is to be a poorer for the farmers than 1920
From the standpoint of the farmer there was
over production of number of crops last year
and the prices they received fell to points which
returned little or profit With Europe increas-
ing its output of agricultural products and I'M
willing to buy extensively Of crops except on
terms of credit which unable to give, it
may be just well for us to cut down production
1t was the sharp slump in prices of farm prod
ucts that started the depression In commerce and
industry. The farmers constitute an important
section Of the buying public, and when their pur-
chasing power seriously curtalled 1t was in
evtable that demand in all lines of business should
sacken. With a return of prosperity to the farm
the whole country will benefit.
If the drop in the prices received by the grower
for his crops were passed to the ultimate con-
sumner 1t would not be regrettabla as 1t is; but
no such reductions have occurred in the prices of
bread, cotton and wooden goods, shoes and cigars
were noted last year in wheat, cotton, WOOL
hides and tobacco.

ILLINOIS SETS AN EXAMPLE.

OF course Governor Len Small of Illinois has
not been convicted of embezzing state funds while
he was state treasurer. He has been indicted
which is merely the legal way of charging him
with that crime. The public cannot fairly jump
to the conclusion that he is guilty. the Verdlct
of Jury must be awaited.
His indictment, however, is very hopeful sign
He is the chief public cog in the machine which
William Hale Thompson Chicago mayor and cor
ruptest of politicians has built up in Illinois. He
was nominated for governor by the Thompson
gang and elected because perfectly honorable re-
publicans insisted upon voting for candidate with
the brand of Cain upon his forehead, merely be-
cause he was the ticket.
Doubtless this indictment would not have teen
returned but for the singing defeat of the Thomp-
son gang in the judicial elections a few weeks ago.
Voters took advantage of the by-election, when no
national issue involved, to "clean up" on the
pirates This lent courage to the county officials
of Saganmon county and the grand jury and they
proceeded to ndict
The Journal predicts that this is the beginning
of the end of the Thompson regime Now every
will take jump" on them. They are no
longer impregnable. The glamour Of success and
power will fade and they will again become sub
ject to the law.
Two observations occur to u.s. One is to won
der why the public insists upon falling for the
GREATNESS" of corrupt men. They have only such
power as the rank and file of the people concede
to them. Fear of that conceded power keeps men
silent Thus the graft and pillage of the public
goes on until something happens to break the hyp
motto spell. Then they fall with dull thuo.
The other observation is that vice, in the end,
brings its undoing. The vicious gradually take
greater and greater chances. Finally the whole
structure they have buded falls of its weight.
The long -sufferance of the public is astonishing.
Not only do good people ignore bad government
they actually support it.
New Mexico has had VIGOROUSLY bad govern
ment. 1t seems to be mending in many respects
Some recent appointments throw grave doubt up
on that seeming improvement
We would like to see an honest and fearless
grand jury make complete investigation of how
public funds have been handled in the last
ten years. We opne that some fairly good repu-
tations would be furnished and considerably bat
tered.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
A BILLION MARKS FROM GERMANY.
(From the Boston Transcript


By negotiating a credit transaction for 150,-
100000 gold marks in Holland, the Reichsbank be-
lieves that it will be able with other credits now
being negotiated through the same channels to
pay the balance of the first 1000, 900 gold
marks in reparations which Germany the
allies payment of which must be completed during
the month of August OF this billion marks Ger
many has delivered into Golfers of the Repara-
ton Commission 247.000.000 gold marks. The Ber-
lin government for many weeks has been at a
loss to find way to raise this money The tap
ping of Hollands reservoir of credit. however. has
opened " of escape from the recent embar-
rassment, the establishment Of such a credit
should play no small part in putting Germany's
finances again on a sound basis
The knowledge that they have turned over to
ths Preparations Commission a billion marks should
have in turn beneficial effect the psychology
Of the German people. 1t should beget in them
new confidence and new hope: 1t should confirm
and strengthen them in their determina ton to do
full days work; and 1t should dispel, once and
for all, the illusion that the fulfment of the
reparations program will spell the economic ruin
of Germany Chancellor Wirth, upon whom has
fallen the difficult task of trying to rally the va
rious political factions to his support has good
cause for satisfaction in the credit negotiations put
through by the Reichsbank For the establish
ment OF these credits is feather in the govern
ment's cap achievement. which should help It
to overcome any attacks that may be made upon
1t in the near future
And France and Belgium stand corrcspondngly
to benefit. and steady flow of German
gold means speedier return of both to prosperity
and contentment.

of gasoline from a barrel of Oklahoma crude. 1t
performs that operation at expense Of fraction
of a cent a gallon. If the gasoline paid the whole
cost of the barrel of oil and the refining the gas
oline would carry a cost Of five cents a gallon.
The tariff would make the cost seven cents q
gallon.
In Albuquerque gasoline costs twenty-six and
one-half cents at retail The independent retailer
is not allowed to make two cents a gallon
The cost of transportation from Oklahoma is about
six cents gallon, which is too high But, at that
five and two and six make thirteen. Who makes
the difference?
The present price Of the retailed product IS
due to distributive manipulation and not to the
original cost of the crude OIL All talk to the
trary is buncombe.
The Standard Oil crowd are not big producers
in the United States, They specialize dstribu-
ton. But they large producers in Mexico and
want to import crude, without tariff in order to
depress independent production in this country.
The Standard crowd belongs to the National
Association for the Protection of American Rights
in Mexico, with whom Secretary Fall has intimate
relations as a friendly correspondent. He frankly
plays the game of this association Only those who
will not see, cannot see the lay of the land.
Our critic, which chides for favoring tariff
on oil, has heretofore been frantic supporter of
Senator Bursum. 1t has regarded him as infalli-
Bile. The Journal has in Its possession message
from the senator saying he favors a reasonable
tariff on crude oil How about 1t?
Why be so inconsistent as to favor tariff on
hides and dressed meats, to aid cattlemen and
then oppose a tariff to help an equally Frustrated
industry?
Let's play the game fairly.

made a $15,000,000 loan to Ger

I held the dress up for him to

watch II have ten minutes, and
you don't get a new dress every

the garment.

almost as if the words were drag

when / referred to that day, he
said he hadn t dared to let go-he
was so hurt and angry at me.

"No-not then! Not for years!

NAN CONFESSES ABOUT THE
DRESS.
CHAPTER 40

CHAPTER 40.
Dick had told me that his father
once had been quite a wealthy
man, but his long invalidism and
the shrinkage in value of his prop
erty, had left him only just enough
to live on. But his sister was
wealthy-that is, her husband was,
and l thought it quixotic in Dick
to be so afraid to ask favor.
For few days he was quiet and
rather moody. Several times
thought of showing him the dress,
telling him that Felice had said l
might have all the time l wanted
in which to pay for it. But his at
titude deferred me.
knew he was thinking Of what
l had urged him to do; that he
was constantly dwelling on the pos
sibility of loss if he should consent.
But l pretended not to notice. His
foolish pride, where his rich broth
er-in-law was concerned, his fear
of putting himself under obligation
to Mr.. Stowell, made me angry.
The ease with which / carried my
debt to Mrs. Stowell, and now to
the dressmaker, made his hesita-
ton seem all the more foolish.
l was becoming nervous and ir-
ritable. l wanted to wear my new
dress, but couldn't for fear Dick
might see 1t. Several times tears
came to my eyes because of 1t.
Clara gave a bridge. There were
some awfully nice people there and
my dress would have been just the
thing to wear. But because l had
not told Dick, I didn't dare spring
it on him for fear he would be
angry and refuse to go.
Finally I decided to take the
bull by the horns, as father used
to say, and get the agony over. |
intended to have pretty clothes!
Dick might as well understand it.
So before he left in the morning
1 said:
I'VE must go to the theater soon,
Dick. l have a pretty dress now to
wear"
"A new dress? When did you
get it,"
1.-THE other dayl If you have
time l will show it to you" / spoke
