BOND Market 4. auiet.r.

Compared with some of its sessions
of last week the bond market yesterday
was quiet. Trading was smaller and
hardly enough buying orders were in
the market TO steady prices In the face
of profit taking sales. At the close re-
actions from the days best prices were
noted In all groups. That reactionary
tendency was most pronounced In the
foreign government group. Swiss IS
sold down to ~. off I u from Satur-
days closing price; Belgian TVS de-
clined 20 100% contrasted with 102 at
the close OF last week. and Belgian IS
dropped from 1o1 to esA. against their
last previous closing price OF 101 u.
Norway SIS opened nearly a point higher
at 107N, but quickly lost that gain.
French bonds were heavily traded In.
but held up remarkably we'll considering
the discussion going on regarding the
German reparations question. Mexican
bonds were active at slightly better
prices. Sales of Liberty and Victory
issues were fairly large and the former
showed improvement In price, while the
latter were a shade lower. Copper bonds
were again about the most active In the

We spent one full day at Kayenta get
ting horses, selecting our mounts and ar
ranging our packs. On the following day
we made our start for the real objective
of our trip. Twelve miles back on our
route to Sagi Canyon we stopped for
awhile watching Mrs. Wetherill acting as
a Probate Court in the settlement of the
estate of an Indian of some wealth who
had recently died.
The negotiations or as l might say, the
proceedings of the Probate Court were in
teresting indeed. The gist of the contro-
versy was the intent of the relatives of
the squaw to take all of the property
ignoring the children. One human side
light appearing during the negotiations
was the action of a young buck, son OF
the deceased and on whom the response
bility for the care and preservation of
the estate had rested. Without any loud
words or threatening gestures he told how
he had worked day and night watching
the hocks and herds and changed them to
new pastures for better feed and water,
and that his father had told him he would
be well taken care Of and now the rela-
tives of his mother were trying to take
everything away and leave him poor. His
eyes were blinded with tears and his voice
quavered.
Mrs. Wetherill patiently and sympa-
thetically heard all sides of the controversy
and then in fair and impartial manner
told each side exactly what they were en-
titled to, which was accepted by all with
evident satisfaction. Apeculiarity of the
Navajo life is the custom that when
man dies his squaw must return to her
family, therefore, it is quite human that
her relatives try their best to get as much
of the estate as they can irrespective of
the needs of the children.
All is we'll that ends well, everybody is
happy and we are ready to enter the Sagi,
the gateway to the beauties and wonders
in the Navajo Mountain and beyond.

SHOOTING STARS.

Reflection.

Reflection.
When you think that life Is mournful
and the world is going wrong,
And everybody's off the key who tries
to sing a song;
When the Sorrow seems to Hnger as
the Happiness takes flight,
It's unpleasant to admit it, but the
chances are. you're right.
When you think the skies are gleam-
ing as they never did before,
And the hours are golden treasures
that the future holds in store;
When the object Of existence is the
joy it can bestow,
You may go your way serenely, for
the chances are, it's SO.
Through the changing circumstances
the impressions that we find
Are largely in the nature Of a per-
sonal state Of mind.
This world is like a mirror, where
reflected moods We see.
The way you think about it is the
way it's going to be.

The House Minority.

In the tariff debate the minority Of
the House will miss its leader. Mr..
Kitchin's health is not yet restored.
The member from the second North
Carolina district has specialized on
the tariff and stands for the tradi-
tional democratic sentiment on the
subject. He is opposed to protection
and all its works. The fact that his
own state has in the past thirty years
become something of manufacturing
stronghold under the stimulating in
fiuences of protection has not affected
his tariff views. He still contends for
low rates.
Another man the minority will miss
is Champ Clark. The debate on the
card would have been much to his
liking and developed him in his best
form. He, too. was a low tariff man.
Indeed, no tariff at all would have
suited him better than the lowest
tariff law ever enacted. He was one
Of the frankest of the American advo-
Gates of free trade. Customshouses
were an economic abomination in his
eyes.
This is not to say that the House
minority will lack for forcible pre-.
sentation Of its case. On the contrary,
there are men in Its ranks who know
the subject we'll and will be on their
mettle in the opportunity thus pre-
sented. They will want to give a
particularly good account Of them
selves in the circumstances that exist.
The debate will possess an interest
all its own. The public will be at
pains to note how, and to what extent.
if at all, the results of the war have
affected the old contentious between
the two old tariff schools in this coun-
try.

The West Virginia coal fields are
large and enter into the national coal
equation. Peace should reign there,
and production be kept at the maxi

quantity and the price-that both the
mine owners and the miners there

Secretary Mellon and the Bonus.

9 Secretary Mellon, asked for. his
opinion as to the soldier bonus bill,
speaks hluntly and to the point. lie
concerns himself no whit with the
4 moral aspects Of the proposal to pay
the veterans Of the world war between
, one and half and four billion dollars.
The Secretary of the Treasury is es-
sentally a business man; it Is with the
financial and economic phases of the
proposition with which he is logically
concerned. Charged with the admin
istrat1on of our national bank ac-
) count, his duty-irrespective Of what
his individual and sentimental incli-
nation in the matter may be-demand-
ed an uncompromising statement as
to wha. direct and immediate effects
the payment Of the soldier bonus
would have upon the financial condi-
don of the naticn. He has discharged
{. that duty.
g The Secretary declares to all con-
csrned-and there is no man, woman
or child In the nation who Is not con-
1 cerned-tnat the enactment Of the bill
would greatly swell the cost OF gov
srnment and virtually defeat the ad-
ministration's program of economy
ana retrenchment" that mo such sum
couio be taken out Of the Treasury
without throwing corresponding
load upon the whole people in the
Sorm OF Increased interest charges. in
cod rnSf of
lHtng." That the plan, If enacted
would hamper refunding operations on
tae national debt and depress the
rr1ces Of liberty bonds; that renewed
imitation, increased commodity prices
and unsettled business conditions
would probably result. and that in the
long run the veterans themselves
would lose far more than they would
gain, These were additional opinions
Of the Secretary Of the Treasury. 1t
Is interesting TO note that a similar
warning was issued to the nation by
Secretary Houston shortly before the
close Of his service in the Treasury
Department.
That pressure for the passage Of the
bill in question should continue, in the
light Of the sober warnings issued by
those best qualified to judge of the
consequences of such legislation,
would seem to be unthinkable. That
the veterans themselves. apprised Of
the cost at which the nation would
give what they ask. should continue
tc ask that that gift be made, would
seem to be manifestly unreasonable.
Viewed from its financial and eco
nomic aspects alone, the proposal to
reimburse the defenders Of America
for the financial losses incurred as
result of their gallant services In
time Of national peril is shown to be
dangerous and unsound. The fairest
possible demonstration Of that patri-
otism which they have already so
splendidly established would be the
insistence by the veterans concerned
that, in view of existing economic
conditions, they will accept no bonus
