TOWNSEND SCARED
AS ELECTION NEARS

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. Char
Acterizing as untrue a special dispatch
to the Detroit Evening News Journal
of August 20, in which Jay G. Hay
den, Washington correspondent of that
newspaper, declared that the Dyer
Anti-Lynching Bill was not constitu-
tional and that it was being used solely
as political means OF holding the Ne
gro vote in line until after the Noyem-
Der elections, Senator Charles E.
Townsend of Michigan has wired the
National Association for the Advance
ment of the Colored People to deny
the implications made in the story. The
dispatch, which is quite lengthy, de
clares that it is the opinion of the writ
er that delay by the Senate in acting
on this measure is predicted on the be-
lief that the office of the Attorney
General OF the United States does not
believe the bill to be constitutional,
although the writer of the dispatch
must or should have known that d large
part of the favorable report of the
Senate Judiciary Committee vas given
over to a lengthy opinion OF the At
tornev-G General that the DYER Bill is
constitutional. The dispatch further
states that a number OF Republican
Senators who are candidates for re-
election are badly scared. Many OF
them. as in the case of Senator Charles
Z. Townsend in Michigan, pledged
themselves to vote for the Anti-Lynch-
ing Bill many months ago, bat they
have not lifted their voice in the Sen
ate in favor of it, nor otherwise have

Borrowing Money for an Automobile.

For many people an automobile is
a necessity. They need it in their
business. or they are located in isolat-
ed places, and must either live solitary
lives or provide this form of tran
sportation. There Is - extravaganza
where such people own ears.
Others living on small incomes and
who have 40 ready money, yet feel
the automobile a necessity for other
reasons. Many yoLng people living
in towns and cities, within easy walk
ing distance of everything, feel it
socially necessary to own car
whether they can afford it or not.
Their friends have one and they feel
lef, out without one. Or they can't
deny themselves any pleasures that
others are enjoying.
The fact that they have no spare
cash does not seem TO bother them
much Even if the cautious banker
won't lend money on car, they may
be able to mortgage their furniture
There are a great many people who
hate to start in life in any small way.
They have cheerful confidence that
their income will soon expand, 50
why not get the enjoyment while
they are young? As result they
are constantly spending more than
they intend, and they fail to acquire
an independent position.
The possession of an automobile
/ before the owner can afford it, is
keeping many young people from
getting a start in life An expenditure
for pleasure is not wise one unless
there is still left afterwards margin
for saving Tue people who have to
borrow money to buy an automobile

Good Crop Low Prices.

Wisconsin growers Of potatoes are
again confronted with hinge crop
and prices as low as - cents bus
hel, and even less in some eases.
While most of the things the farmer
buys are still high priced, he is forced
TO sell his product for price which
is doubtless way below the cost OF
production.
Potatoes are too bulky TO export At
any rate they have never been export
ed to any material extent. The crop
has to be consumed at home. When
the harvest is large, the price is sure
TO be- low, in fact the farmers usually
fare better when the yields are not
excessive, because prices are higher.
What Ia the remedy for all this?
Every family has to have potatoes.
They are staple product which will
always be in demand. Often, there
viii be good profits in potatoes Only
IN certain seasons is there an unwieldy
surplus. If the farmers could refrain
from selling the bulk of their crop in
the fall, probably the price returns
would be considerably better.
But to hold potatoes, warehouses
are required and financing is needed
This Is problem for bankers aud for
organization. In some cases the in
diyiduai grower could meet the pro-
blem by himself, but warehouses are
expensive and the problem can best
be met Ia an organized way.
Here again IL the fundamental pro
blem Of marketing which has not beer
solved The keen study which is now
being made of the marketing question,
however, angurs we'll for the future.
The problem of selling will be solved
when II Is attacked in earnest Flood
ing the potato market In early fal
with millions OF bushels will always
mean losses If the crop is large
This Is the thing to be prevented.
