TALKATIVE STATESMEN.

A United States senator who signs his name to
message pledging support to a rebellious portion
of the territory of foreign power is not attending
to his duty. Two United States senator's, Norris and
Welsh, are said to have signed message addressed
to macontents in India pledging american sup
port to a campaign for independence. What would
these same senators say If members Of the British
parliament sent similar message to the Filipinos
II the latter were in revolt?
The trouble with Americans Is that they
are to be perfectly frank and collbquial, too
"nosey." They take themselves so very seriously,
and they pry into the business of foreign peoples
as II everything in the world could be straightened
out to suit these Americans by the mere expression
of their opinions. 1t makes Americans little
bit ashamed when any of statesmen exhibiting
freshness unparalleled. interfere in matters that
are not their concern, seeming to speak with the
voice Of authority because they hold public office.

CFrom the Minneapolis Tribune }

(FrOm the minneapolis IrlDune)
! Forty-seven American life insurance companies
held in trust at the end of the year 1920 for policy
holders volume of combined assets aggregatinS
$6,S32,724560 o. The figures submitted BY
Asa s. Wing, president of n philadelphia company
in brochure entitled. "A Decade of Life Insurance
Investments"
One understands still more clearly what tre-
mendous business is done by the life insurance
panies and how widely the business is distributed
when he is told that these assets belong to 10000
600 men and women, most of whom have the right
TO vote The potential voting strength of the United
States, reported by the bureau Is approx
mately $4,000, 900.
AS Mr.. Wing puts IT, the custody Of this enorm-
Gus wealth is a sacred trust. It places enormous
and solemn responsibility upon the companies to
administer to the best possible advantage the vast
treasure in their keeping. The life insurance busi-
is not the selfish, graspng thing it 20 or
more years Exploitation of it for undue profit
is in the large way, thing Of the past This is due
partly to stricter government regulations, but also
in very generous measure to the fact that men who
follow the business today have real heart interest
in it. Serious failures and public scandals have
come to be almost unknown in connection with the
life insurance business. This Is az 1t should be- and
particularly so in view of the almost perfect trust
the average person has come to repose in the COM
panes
The war and the government financing necessar-
lily incident thereto have given to the companies
opportunity broader than they had before to
Invest their funds in government bonds under at
tractive terms. In 1911 the AZ companies referred
to held s552,Ooo in government bonds, At the end
OF 1920 they held S172 900 900 in these securities
or something more than II per cent Of the total
assets In 1911 investments in stat county and
municipal bonds amounted to S155 100000 COM
pared with 900 in 1920, Mortgage loans in
1920 aggregated in round numbers 50 200, 900 000
rather evenly divided between farm lands and other
kinds Of property. Due to real estate demands in
the period referred to the companies have Jared
notably well in where circumstances obliged
them to foreclose mortgages.
The enormous life insurance business in this
country Is one Of the best possible evidences of gem
eral American thrift and of the provident habit
For that reason the intelligent citizen may properly
have share in the pride with which the companies
point to the $6,S32,72456006 in trust assets.

"MADE IN g. S. A."

The Canadian customs ruling that all merchan-
disc shipped to the dominion by American manu-
facturers shall be marked Made in U. S. A." went
into effect December 81. The regulations permit
a rubber stamp to be used in marking certain kinds
of goods. but require permanent imprint for the
more durable merchandise. Shipments not bearing
the marking will be held up at points OF entry until
the deficiency has been remedied, and q penalty
added to the duty on goods thus delayed
The ruling will complaint Some OF the
American manufacturers doing business with Cam
ada are pretty to forget the regulation
during the early days of its enforcement and to be-
come indignant when penalized. But there is no
for resentng it, Canada is perfectly within
her rights. and it probably will be good thing for
her people that American made goods shall be so
marked. If they find that they are buying from
us and paying duty goods that they could just
Is well produce themselves they will be stimulated
into undertaking the production. OF course that
will not be pleasant for the American manufactur-
ers; but being reminded frequently by the label on
goods how close TIL trade relations between the
United States and Canada the people of the latter
country will appreciate the more how much the two
countries have in common.
The label 'Made in U. s. A." be made an
effective advertisement for industries Good
arguments be advanced in favor of putting Z
not only on merchandise shipped to Canada but on
merchandise shipped anywhere.

As the People View It


Editor Morning Journal,
Sir: May l have a little space to
bestoW a bit of praise on Senator
Bursum for the most satisfactory
results of his recent efforts in my
behalf in getting an award on my
claim for compensation. / was
gassed in action while serving with
the A. r. F., came to New Mexico
in search Of health found it, but
was not so fortunate in securing
government compensation.
In all fairness to the Veterans
bureau it should be stated, thai
my claim was complicated by the
lack of certain records, and sew
eral months passed without sat
isfaction when q friend suggested
| tell my story to Senator Bursum.
| must admit l was Ioath to do
this, having in mind several state
ments that had been made during
the recent senatorial campaign to
the effect that the senator was not
mindful Of the needs of our ex-
service men.
However I wrote the senator,
and to my complete surprise and
qualification, received a prompt re-
ply from him promising early as
siStance.
He did more than write and
promise, he worked on my claim
as several letters will prove, and
in the course of few weeks time
I obtained an award Of my COM
pensatiOn, in full.
In my case he has proven and I
know he is willing and able to
prove in other cases that he is the
friend of ex-service men.

1t being a cold day the tears froze
on the face of the Wolf.
Around his nose and mouth the
tears froze into q solid cake of ice,
and then the Wolf couldn't smell
anythins-not even the onions, and
he couldn't open his mouth to bite
because it was frozen shut.
Il guess this is the time for me
to leave" thought Uncle Wiggily.
II bid you good day, Mr.. Wolf"
Then, picking up the bag Of un-
peeled onions, no tears having
come in the bunny's eyes because
he kept them closed while the
Wolf was peeling the onions, away
hoped Mr.. Longears, safe and
sound.
"Oh, dearl oh, dear!" thought
the Wolf. There goes my din
ner"
And 1t was a week before the
tears thawed from his face. Nurse
Jane liked her onion soup very
much, and If the rag doll doesn't

Oh, why drn | crying!'

Of sudden. Let's see what you
have in that bag!" And, most
rudely, he snatched It from the
bunnys paws.
There's only some strong onions
in there for Nurse James soup
said Mr.. Longears.
ooh, no! Onions, are they >"
snickered the Wolf. "Ill have a
look!"
With that he opened the bag,
and when he saw the red onions
for they were that kind--he laugh
ed and said: Trying to fool me,
that's what you were, Uncle Wig
gily!"
Fool your Now declared the
bunny.
Eyes you were. These are little
red apples, not onions. and I shall
peel one and eat 1t before nibble
your ears"
"Oh, don't!" begged the bunny.
Eyes I SHALL" howled the Wolf.
With that he took his knife out of
his pocket and began to peel one
of the strong onions. And you
know what happened without me
telling you. But I will, just the
same.
No sooner did he begin to peel
the onion than tears came into
the eyes of the Wolf. Big, salty
tears came into his eyes and ran
down his nose.
ooh, why am I crying, when
ought to be joyful because I have
Uncle Wiggily's ears to nibble and
nice little red apples to eat!'
shouted the Wolf. "Why should
I cry?" But he could not answer
and the more onions he peeled
thinking they we're apples, the
more tears came into his eyes And

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago. Jan. 1O.--Assertions
that the drought in the southwest
had been effectively broken did
much today to give n downward
swing to wheat. Prices closed
heavy, 25sc to &c net lower, with
May $1.0S% to $1.09 and July
9S1Bc to 9SAc. Corn lost &c to
&c and oats q to &c. In pro
visions there were gains of 2 iac tc
15c.
Rains which fell where most
needed in the winter wheat belt
and which many traders said might
prove to be the salvation Of the
Kansas crop gave bears a big ad-
vantage. witn longs unloading
and with the market nearly devoid
of support, sentiment against the
bulls received additional impetus
from reports that Argentine wheat
was selling in Europe at to 10
cents under United States hard
winter wheat shipped by way of
the Gulf Of Mexico. Cancellation
of some export sales at the gulf
counted late in the day as a fur
ther depressing influence, and so
did gossip current about bank
troubles in France. On the decline
July wheat was forced sharply be-
low 81. Contrary to expectation in
some quarters the amount of buy
ing after the market went into the
nineties was but little enlarged, and
the finish was at almost the bot
tom figures.
Corn and oats showed consider
able resistance to selling pressure,
excellent demand for corn being in
evidence from the seaboard. Be-
sides, there was fair southern call
for oats.

Mrs. Milford Riggs of Ironton, Mo.
Mrs. Riggs, who Is a Gold Star Mother,
wrote as follows:
"My ~19-year-old boy gave his life in
France in battle. Reed did every
thing in his power to keep draft men
from going there to help the young
volunteer. While my boy was sutfer-
ing hardships gladly with the Second
Division all summer and fall and while
we at home we're rejoicing that we
could do without luxuries that we
might send food to the boys, Reed
was opposing US in this effort. ] ex-
pect to make speeches for Mr.. Long
before the campaign closes and / shall
do everything in my power to make
the women see that we must be rid Of
Reed. If we have a canoe we cannot
get well until the cancer is removed
Surely the good women OF Missouri
will mobilize and help US get rid oil
this moral leper whose fair phrases
sound good to many of the men vot'
ers, and, l am sorry to say, to some
few of the women voters. I indorst
every word in your platform.
(Signed) MRS. MILFORD RIGGS,
Ironton, Mo-"
