Georges Clemenceau, in commenting
upon the economic disequilibrium that
exists in the European nations and the
United States, points out that there
is a decisive cause for this trouble.
Such an upheaval as the world war
was certain to be followed by economic
chaos. When 100000 men were
killed and 100000 wounded, the
countries involved in the conflict could
not expect the wheels of industry to
spin smoothly the minute peace was
declared. While our losses were not
as staggering as were those of France,
England, Austria and Germany, we
also paid heavy toll. Then adjust
ments that had to be made in the
management of our purely commercial
matters have necessitated certain
hardships. It is not so simple to
change from the war basis to the
peace basis in our industries. Finally
one factor which has been most influ-
entail in creating the situation which
exists here today is the condition of
the European countries. The United
States is a producer; her prosperity
depends upon having markets in
which to sell.

BabcOck's Fair Appeal.

There are two things to be said in
favor Of the proposal of State High
way Commissioner Babcock to the
legislature to authorize an issue of
highway bonds to speed up the con-
struction program. The labor market
is at it's most favorable point, and it
is important that every section of the
state be given good roads as soon as
possible. It must also be said that
Commissioner Babcock has put forth
his suggestions to the legislature ear
ly enough to have them thoroughly
digested before action is taken and
to give the people Of the entire state
an opportunity to make known their
sentiments and create an intelligent
understanding Of the popular needs
and desires.
The commissioner has invited COM
ments and suggestions from the peo-
pie Of the state on the present law and
on his proposals as WE'LL Buffalo

The Presidents Plea.

President Harding, in his address to
the special session of congress makes
a strong and practical appeal for the
passage of the merchant marine act,
to which the term "subsidy bill'' is I'M
fortunately attached. It is unfortu-
nate because the word "subsidy" has
become, through many political bat
ties of the past, public irritant, the
word itself arousing opposition re-
CARELESS of the merits of the measure
to which it is attached, and this is
prejudice that must be overcome if the
bill now before congress is to become
law. But the situation now is differ
ent from that Of any time in the past
when the question of ship subsidies
was raised. Always before the prob
lem was to create what we did not
have. Now the problem is to maintain
what we possess. Heretofore theory
has been presented; now condition
confronts us.
The war compelled US to build a
great merchant fleet, to transport food
and supplies to our armies and to car
ry on the trade for which the destruc-
ton Of the ships of other nations hal
deprived us of adequate transporter
ton facilities. For this fleet we ex-
pended the vast sum of $4,000, 100000.
How much Of that cost was excessive
no one can say. Ships had to be built,
they had to be built hurriedly and re-
gardless of cost. We paid no doubt
far more than they were worth, far
more than they would have cost under
normal conditions of construction, but
! that could not be helped. A great fleet
was created by force Of necessity.
And the question now is, are we TO
utilize what war thus gave us, or are
we to permit this great investment to
become total loss? It is plain
matter of busincss.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

CAUSE FOR GIVING THANKS.

AS we look back through the pages
of history and read of the hardships
of the Pilgrims in the early colonial
days of 1921, we may marvel at the
fact that even those heroic souls
thought that they had been blessed
sufficiently to set aside certain day
for public thanksgiving.
But we need not go as far back as
the days of 1921 to find shining exam
pies of fine courage. Let the younger
people of today look back just one or
two generations, to our own parents
or grandparents. Many is the family
living in this very community who
came into this country under most
primitive conditions. These men and
women will relate how all they pos
sessed in this world was placed in
one wagon drawn by team of oxen.
If the family was in fairly comforta-
BILE circumstances, possible there was
one rocking chair for the mother. At
night the mother and girls slept in
the wagon while father and the boys
lay on the ground nearby. And here
is the point to be remembered, those
sturdy, intelligent people were happy.
AS some Of these earlier settlers will
relate, it never occurred to them to
be unhappy because Of lack Of this
worlds goods. They came into this
country, built their log houses and
reared large families. Their sons and
daughters have gone forth to occupy
some Of the most prominent positions
in this state. The conditions under
which they lived developed a happy,
reliant people.
The healthy, able-bodied men and
women Of today who feel that their
lot is particularly hard and that they
are having burdens too heavy to bear
should just look back a little, reflect,
and take heart. After all are some of
us not demanding too much? Is not
the trouble within as much as with
out. We are placing too much value
on material objects that are not of
paramount Importance.
The majority of the citizens Of this
country and a large army Of aliens
within our borders have prospered
greatly, prospered more than the citi-
zens of any other nation in the world.
The people of the villages and the
surrounding farming territory have
particular cause for thanksgiving.
We have the privilege of earning a
wholesome living under the best pos
sible conditions for the development
Of real happiness, where we can be
in close touch with the woods, fields
and all of nature. Those of US who
have resided for a short space Of
time in the crowded cities know how
to appreciate this blessing.
We would indeed be an ungrateful
people, if we could not today bow our
heads and devoutly breathe prayer
of thanksgiving for the many bless
ings that have been showered on US.

The Real Key of Success.

The Minnesota boy who does not
think he has fair chance to win sue
cess should look up the history of the
men who have succeeded. He can
start in with the leaders of his own
town and city. We believe every bust
ness and professional man in ST..
Cloud, for illustration, as boy had
his own way to make-and arrived by
hard work and good sense. Of all the
governors Of Minnesota only one was
the son of a rich father. Senator
Knute Nelson sold papers on the
streets Of Chicago as a boy to help
support his mother. Frank B. Kel-
logg was as poor as any boy in the
state today, and these two senators
are among the top notchers in the
United States senate. Henrik Ship
stead, the newly elected senator, was
a farmers boy, and despite his good
fortune in arriving at high official
station as a result Of peculiar political
conditions, he has been real worker,
and will continue to be. Pierce But
Ter, selected by the president as judge
of the supreme court of the United
States, had just as hard a struggle to
get an aducation and to establish him.
self in a successful practice, as an at
torney in the state. His intimate
friends say he won by the hardest
kind Of work. That is the real key
to success. Hard work, guided by a
sane and definite aim. The boys can
not all be judges, senator's, or COVER
nors but there is not normal boy in
Minnesota who cannot be honored and
successful citlZen-and as matter Of
fact many Of the men who have
achieved the most satisfactory success,
are those whom you hear but little
about in the big newspapers-men Of
affairs, who have acquired reasona-
bic amount of property, who are
blessed with good wives and happy
homes, and who have given their chill
dren a good education, to fit them for
useful citizenship. There never was
more hopeful outlook for the boys and
girls who are not afraid to work, and
who know what they want, than the
present time. America is the land Of
opportunity success is waiting
just around the corner for the earnest
seeking youth Of the land. The fail
ures in life are not the sons of poor
men-but those of the rich-St Cloud

Jackson, CAL, Sept, g. (By AS
sociated Press) A most thorough
investigation indicates that no
signals ever have been heard from
the AZ entombed miners in the Ar
gonaut mine who were trapped
there by fire August 27, mine
officials announced today. Sounds
believed to have been signals must
have been either imagination OF
the rescue crews or else noises in
the Kennedy mine, from which
the rescue work is being attempt
ed.
Hope for the ehtombed Argo-
naut miners seems to have died
completely. The people Of jack
son, with calm resignation now
await the removal of bodies.
Very discouraging progress has
been made during the past "a
hours in the attempts to reopen
old drifts leading to the lower
levels of the Argonaut from the
5000 foot and 1900 foot levels OF
the Kennedy. Instead of opening
up as the crews slowly dug their
way forward, the drifts have been
found worse clogged than ever.
