BETTER THAN CALOmEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
Are a Harmless Subtitute.

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablcts--the
substitute for celomel--are = mild but

little olive-colored tablets are the re-

to treat liver and bowel complaints

The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold OF the trouble and

dicate that we are not entering a
prolonged period Of over-expansion
and any stimulation in consumption
will prove gradual and of a limited
character. Producing costs, par
ticularly fuel, transportation and
labor, are high enough and the next
major move, in conjunction with
the law of action and reaction
should be downward. Certainly this
is not the time to be bullish on
steel. Protection over the winter
months is the prime buying in
centive.
at is questionable whether the
steel industry is fully readjusted.

contraction of the economic cycle in
1920 and 1921 and this is one of
the reasons why l am not partial to

struck deeply and drew vital blood
was the senator's vote to seat
Newberry. The republican party
has always been strong with that
intangible element in the body
politically known as the silent vote.
The vote of organized labor is
anything but silent. The silent
vote is largely the vote of the UNI
organized wage or salary Garner
and the farmer-a class neither
active nor conspicuous in political
affairs, but potent on election day.
The Newberry vote was the en-
tering wedge which started the
process of prying this element
away from Poindexter and opened
the way to defeat.
In attempting to segregate and
fix the causes Of Poindexter defeat
this paper would put Newberryism
and the senator's changed front on
progressivism at the top of the
list.

THE STEEL STOCKS
Rabson Explains Recent Softness
In Steel


Wellesley Hills, November 18th.
1922. Since the recent excitement
of the steel mergers this class Of
stock has disappointed most people,
in fact those who consider the steel
industry as barometer of Ameri-
can business are decidedly upset.
Roger Babson who forecasts the
failure of the recent merger sche-
mes in these columns explains the
action of these stocks rather salts
factorily.
"Steel prices" he says, shave re-
Gently shown signs of weakening,
a generally expected tendency. "A
survey shows that surface condi-
tions indicate strength, but the un-
derlaying situation which is the
most important. tells a totally
different story. You will remember
that six months ago the trend of
production of steel as well as other
commodities, was distinctly upward.
Steel output has recovered from
the domestic 1921 slump when only
100000 tons of steel were pro-
duced, which was so per cent under
the previous years output. With
the increasing supply, there was
no scarcity. Untitled tonnage was
increasing only moderately and
transportation conditions were not
considered critical. Prices of steel
billets at that time were ruling 20
percent over the pre-war average.
Suddenly the picture changed.
The pinch of the diminishing coal
supply became more effective and
the advent of the. rail strike
brought additional apprehension.
The buyers began purchasing ahead
to protect deliveries. Orders were
pyramided-a fact that is reflect
ed by untitled tonnage which Jump
ed from 5,776, 900 tons in July to 81
$50, 900 tons in August but in Sept
ember jumped to 6,691 900 tons.
The wave of heavy buying, due to
artificial elements is now passing.
The outlook is again changing. The
coal and railroad strikes are events
of the past and as artificial tenden-
cies are ironed out and eliminated,
there is strong possibility of q
weakening in the price structure.
This does not mean Immediately for
the question Of delivery over the
winter months is very important.
Steel billets today rule SO percent
over the low point of this year and
65 percent over the pre-war aver
age. This level is high enough for
we are not on the eve of boom
in the steel or commodity prices in
general.
eve should not forget that there
are several important phases to
consider on the bear side. The
steel producing capacity of this
country as it stands today is much
greater than our ability to consume
and export. In 1913, the actual
output of steel aggregated 81, 0OO,-
900 tons while producing capacity
was estimated at 100000 tons.
In 1920 we produced 10000, 900
tons, last year 100000 tons and
this year probably 10000, 900 tons,
but the main point is, if called upon
we could produce at the rate of
55,O00,OO0 tons annually. 1923 is
bound to be year of keen compe-
tition. Fundamental conditions in

HOW IT HAPPENED

IN SEEKING TO explain why
i why Senator Miles Poindexter
was defeated for reelection by C.
G. Dill, the Seattle Times says the
.enator,s defeat was due to a lot
Of things but the two principal
causes were the peoples dissatis-
faction with the record of the
nressent congress and Senator's
poindexter's unwise and untimely
candidacy for the presidential.
nomination two years ago.
The Courier-Reporter agrees that
there were number of contribu-
tory causes but it does not believe
the Times has named the principal
ones.
+ is true there is general
feeling that the present congress
has been dilatory and has not done
many of those things which it
might have done. Washington is
normally republican state by a
safe majority and the defeat was
due to a very marked detection
somewhere. That there was, little
or no detection generally in the
republican ranks is evidenced by
the fact that all five of the repub-
lican congressman were returned
and four of the five were winners
by decisive majorities, whereas
the republican senator was turned
down for an admittedly weak
democrat.
Had the do-nothingness of con-
gress and the psychological revolt
against the party in power been
outstanding factors the members
of the lower house would have felt
the same force Of the blow as did
the senator. The revolt was not
partisan but personal. It was not
an overthrow of the republican
party but of Poindexter.
While Poindexter's presidential
bee may have Slapped the enthusi-
asm of certain republican leaders
it was not taken to heart by the
rank and file only insofar as it
gave weight to that greater cause
the conviction that Poindexter
had about-faced and turned his
back upon the progressive ele-
ment of the party which elected
him representative, and elected
and reelected him senator. This
lost him far more votes within
the party than did the mere fact
that he bound to forlorn hope
the Washington delegation to the
national republican convention.
Labor voted solidly against the
senator, but the loss of the labor
vote can hardly be considered a
detection from the republican
ranks. 1t has been outside the
fold as often as it has been in.
Labor voted as solidly against
Congressman Webster as it did
against Poindexter and the former
carried his district by as large a
majority as the latter lost it..
While the labor vote was con-
tributory cause it cannot be con-
sidered the controlling factor in
the election. The thing which
