SOME UNWELCOME SIGNS :! 9

The serious notice of business obervers is being attracted by
the report of a wide falling off in building and postponement of
heavy construction projects. Data covering last month indicates
an abatement of construction activity at some points, permits
issued and applications filed showing a considerable decrease under
the total of the previous month. While this reduction is partially
accounted for by a sharp falling off at New York City, there has
been plain evidence of charged conditions in industry. Strikes at
some centers and threatened trouble at other places have been
precipitated by demands of further wage increases, and not a
little work has been suspended of late because it is said that costs
of labor and materials are too high.
The construction boom throughout the country was one of
the most important factors in the general business recovery, and
the effects of recent developments in the building field will be
watched closely.
I'm commercial channels, as in speculative markets, an under
current of uncertainty is now manifest. There seems to be more
doubt about the probable course of prices of commodities, and
there is also more questioning as to the future of business gener-
ally. The developments of recent weeks have shown plainly
enough that activities in different quarters are abating, and Dun's
list Of wholesale quotations has reflected the reversal of the price
movement.
The diminutiOn of demand, however, has only come after a
period of notably heavy purchasing, with new records attained in
various instances, and there is g divided opinion as to the real
significance of the change. Close observers of conditions do not
overlook the fact that many requirements already have been
covered for some time ahead, thus leaving less incentive for buyers
to make additional commitments, and the rise of Is per cent in
commodity prices in the past year likewise is being considered.
The slackening of industrial expansion, with some yielding
of prices, is not surprising, and it does not necessarily mean that
progress is definitely checked. Yet the suspension of important
construction work, the labor troubles at some points, the curta1
ment of production at certain textile mills, the augmented sup
plies of goods, and the increased efforts of some sellers to obtail
new orders do not pass unnoticed.
The existing situation is rather complex, and the uncertainty
about the future makes for caution in many quarters. The pace
during the first quarter of this year was so rapid, however. tina
some slowing down now is a wholesome condition.

STILL TEASING r

News from Washington is to the effect that the occasion
of the Shrine gathering at Washington is being used in an appeal
to the president to pardon fifty-one federal convicts who are in
used is that with the spirit of gladness abroad" as it is during
the shriners' gathering the president should let the disloyaists
out to share in it. No predictions are made that the president
is likely to make the wholesale jail deliveries requested.
Repentance us usually conceded as preliminary to forgiveness.
The presidential pardons of prominent bushwhackers and franc
tireurs have not been satisfactory in bringing forth proof of any
real repentance. Wilson pardoned OHare and she began about
where she left off. Harding let Debs loose and Debs repaid his
clemency by mouthy defiance and personal ingrattude. The
country at large would have approved and would still approve
sending both back to serve out their sentences if there were any
way to do it. So naturally the president might ask for evidence
of that repentance which should be precedent to pardon. And
he might as naturally be suspicious of deathbed repentances and
the resurrection of disloyalty. OHare and Debs, not Harding,
have kept the fifty-one behind the bars. They would have been
pardoned long ago except for the advantage such leadership made
of a pardon.
The country is not vengeful. 1t would approve of provisional
pardon, a parole of those who signify their willingness to go out
and behave themselves. But with the examples of Debs and
O'Hare and the like before it the average American wants a
string tied to them. If they were convicted justly-and they were
convicted under the law-there is little sense in letting them out
before their term expires if punishment has not brought reform
or at least the conclusion that a closed disloyal mouth catches no
penitentiary flies.
The spirit of gladness" was rife when the armistice was
signed and the men who served their country while bushwackers
fired at their backs came home. 1t is hard to forgive. 1t would
be plain idiocy to forget.

An account Of the recent double
murder discovery in Gallatin county
makes the statement that thousands
of people visited the spot where the
murder was committed, last Sunday.
We did not think there were so many
morbidly curious people in the entire
Gallatin valley. Why anyone should
go out of their way to view a spot
where two people were killed some
80 months ago is beyond u ken.

Not so long ago the international
Woman's Suffrage Alliance held a
meeting. There was the usual
amount of news matter came from
the gathering, some good suggestions,
some mediocre, and one that is ex-
tremely ludicrous. One suggestion
was that wives should be paid wages!
Viewed from the women's standpoint,
this suggestion is really ridiculous.
From the mans, there is a form of
hope contained in it; most husbands
would far rather pay their wives
wages than give them most of their
earnings as they do now. The time
has gone by when husbands stinted
their wives. To put it plainly, more
husbands are stinting themselves
than there are husbands who are mig
gardly with their helpmeets. You
cannot go down Main street without
seeing men whose apparent shabbi-
ness is such, the evidences of whose
toll is so patent, that n wonders
what they are getting for their
wages. The answer is for most of
them that they are maintaining
homes And it is not always the mer

But there is such a thing as going
too far. According to the arguments
Of those who favor charging the tour

Years ago pretty nearly Everything that happened to a person
was "a judgment on him. to some people, indeed a great many
people. We are losing much of our superstitious notions. Break
ing a mirror brought seven years of bad luck; when a rooster
crowed across the threshold Of the front door it was a warning
of a visitor, and so on almost infinitum.
1t was and is all in the line of the Pennsylvania Dutch custom
of greasing the ak and lying it carefully away when a chopper
had cut his foot with it; of passing backward babies through a
horse collar and the smoked string method of curing erysipelas
with the specific for tuberculosis which consisted of boring a hole
to the heart of a living tree and placing the hair of the patient
in the hole thus made. 1t killed the tree as the patient recovered.
1t is better to Know a few things well than to know so much

1t is all right for young married
women to have all the fun they can,
goodness knows they get little enough
pleasure from life at the best; but
there is such a thing as playing the
game. If a man is working, doing
his best to provide money to run the
establishment, perhaps saving for a
business or a home of his own, it is
the women's part of the bargain TO
look after that mar as well as she
can. If she forces him to get his
W breakfast or eat at the cafe
come home to cold dinners half the
nights of the week and otherwise
make up for her pleasures in sacri-
flee, she is not playing her part of
the game. A man who provides a
home for a girl, clothes her as well
as may be, and gives up the freedom
from responsibilities that goes with
single blessedness for her sake, has g
right to some things. If he keeps
the home running by providing the
money, it is up to the women to de-
her part and keep things within the
home working smoothly. And there
are a lot of them who don't do it
