and been useless within a few years
anyhow.
Fifth, the far eastern agreements
are not all that might have been
desired, but they represent the
greatest advance yet made in the
betterment of relations between
Japan and China. This means i'm
proved opportunities for economic
growth.
Sixth, the value Of the agree
ments restricting the use of the
submarine or poison gas will al
ways be questionable. Until there
is another war and it is determin-
ed whether international law can
be upheld in the heat of a conflict,
no one will know whether the
agreements on these two points at
Washington are worth the paper
they are written on. Until they are
violated, however, their authors
will insist that they act as a moral
barrier. Their power OF proven
ton will be Of indefinite duration.
French Actions Unhappy.
The immediate effects of the
Washington conference in reduced
taxation will be negligible. The
benefits will be felt far in the flu
ture. How much this factor will
be translated into American politi-
cal campaigning is hard to say.
The truth is, the Harding admins
tration promised a great deal and
hoped for much out of the arma-
ment conference. Land armament
has not been reduced. And the ad-
ministration points to France as
the alibi for that. The attitude of
France has been the single I'M
happy phase of the whole confer
ence
On the other hand, the friends of
international cooperation have de-
rived much comfort out of the
agreements reached at the Wash
ilgton conference They have seen
America mix into the affairs of
China and other nations five thou
sand miles away and come out with
clean hands. They wonder why
America cannot do an equally good
job by participating in European
problems of an economic nature
which are even more directly of
value to the average American pro-
Queer and consumer than the sta
bifizing Of China's finances or the
management OF her RAILWAYS or
kindred rights of a commercial
character to the settlement of
which the conference has been Civ
ing its time for many weeks.
Next Question.
Granting that the Washington
conference was a success-and the
Harding administration admits it
the next question is whether the
government here will venture to
help Europe stabilize itself SO
markets for American goods can
be created and the business stu
alton in this country improved and
export trade that would again re-
quire factories to reopen and labor
TO be employed.

dustry is toward enlarged tonnage,
not only for immediate require
mepts but for a demand foretold by
projects now assured. Railroads
are SPEEDING freely for improve
ments and additions.
Wool growers are in stronger
position than they have been for a
long time. Old stocks have absorbed
readily at increased prices and
buyers now are on the ranges at
tempting to contract for the clip
which will not become available I'M
til next June. A similar condition
prevails in the Pacific northwest
where dealers are already contract
ing for the 1922 salmon pack al
though the fish of the 1922 run still
are thousands or miles from the nets
and the iron chinks," the machines
which cut, cook and can them.
The orient is in the market for
-four and western mills are running
in many cases on a "a hour basis to
fill this demand at increased prices.
On the other side of the country
heavy tonnages of rice have been
bought for Russia and the situation
of the rice growers has been ma
terially relieved.
Good Pottery Business.
Lumber demand is heavy. People
in widely separated sections are
building homes in increasing num-
bers and the lumber mills are in
creasings their output Pottery
plants are feeling the call of in
creased demand and are speeding
up their wheels. Carpet manufac-
turers are fiourishing and furniture
and house furnishings are finding a
ready market
The textile industry in parts of
New England has been thrown into
a state of uncertainty temporarily
by reduction of wage scales in
some sections and this has tended
to halt buying until conditions be-
come stabilized.

three great military powers OF the
world High freight rates, finally.
have been due in large part to the
guaranty provisions of the Esch-
Cum1nins law, enacted by tthe Re-
publican congress in 1920. Thus.
the resolutions adopted by the
.hand-p3cked' conferences recently
held in Washington have merely
served to point out the failures of
the administration"
Only One .Dirt- Farmer.
Rainey raped the recent farm
conference, declaring that the per-
sonnet OF the gathering included
AZ delegates from the District of
Columbia, in which there is not a
single farm, while Of the 80 dele
gates from Illinois, only one was q
real farmer"
Touching upon the soldiers
bonus question, he said that ''the
people generally favor a bonus, but
they are opposed to the proposition.
of Ievying a sales tax to raise the
money"
at is my firm belief" Rainey
concluded his statement, that the
.
and that only the interposition of
Providence can prevent an over
whelming Republican defeat in No.
vember."
A canvass of the Illinois delega-
ton in the house this week showed
that the down-state members are
nra cficaJ1u unanimous in favor IF
congressional action looking to-
ward the development of the it
Lawrence river project.
Senator Mckinley took the floor
in the senate late in the week and
in the first address of any length
he had made since he entered the
body last March, strongly ADVOCATED
the completion of the project.
The Illinois senator predicted
that it would reduce freight rates
for middle western farmers by 10
cents a bushel on grain" and citing
his own experience with electri al
power applied to transportation.
declared that the water power that
could be developed on the st. Law
renee would be sufficient to serve
practically all the manufacturing
industries of the New England
states
A bill to put Panama canal pilots
on the annual payroll was intro
duced here this week by Represen-
tative William A. Rodenberg, East
St. Louis, at the request of the
pilots OF the canal zone.
At present, all vessels passing
through the canal are piloted by a
special corps of men designated
for the purpose by the zone author
tiles. During the dull seasons, the
men are laid off and because OF
their familiarity with only the linn
tied work Of the zone are unable
to obtain employment as general
pilots. The Rodenbefg bill pro-
poses to put the men on an annual
salary basis to insure them a living
wage for definite periods.
Representative Allen F. Moore,
Monticello, gave a dinner at his
home here this week to Dr. Will
Barnes, Decatur, hospital head and
prominent surgeon of down-state
Illinois. Senator Mckinley and
other Illinoisans in Congress at
! tended the dinner.
Louis W. strayer, Was hington
Dispatch, was the only down-state
Illinoisan killed in the Knicker-
booker disaster a week ago in
