Presidents Tour.
(San Francisco Rulletin l,

lSan Francisco Bulletn)
 So great is the popular of the Presidents speaking tour that the yellow press is greatly alarmed. Already 1t has special correspondent on the Job trying to distinguish between the applause given imperfonally to the President of the United States and that marking appreciation of the personal opinions of Warren c. Harding. Naturally there is a great deal or both but it suits the court antleverything constructive yellow press to make if appear that while there is ovation at every stop- ping place for the office of President there is A bored indifference to the individual occupying that office.

THE DIFFERENCE IN CONSERVATION BY STATES AND THE FEDERAL
 GOVERNMENT.

In his signed editorial in the Philadelphia Public Ledger Gov Scott C. Bone said that conservation applied a highly developed State like Pennsylvania is unsuited to primitive and pioneer land like Alaska. Conservation of undeyelpoed resources is such only in name" added the Governor.
 That Is true, but the greater difference is that conservation in Pennsylvania is applied by Penn sylyania and Pennsyyanans. In Alaska the people most concerned have control the conserved In the the sovereignty of the State is not involved there is local sefgovernment. conservation BY the people who concerned. In the other there is government within a govern ment-a nonresident government within govern ment State Territory has Jurisdiction or control lands and resources owned by the Fed eral Government. They have power to levy taxes upon them to expend the contributions the Federal Government voluntarily makes in connection with them. except under the restrictions imposed by the Federal Government. They add not a cent to our financial standing basis for credit.
 The question of solfeoyornment is involved in the ownership of the soil When the title of the Federal Government is appropriated, when ownership of lands and resources comes into private hands. then the people have control them. They may levy taxes upon them and make regulations for their If is said that 9S cent of the of Alaska held by the Federal Government. As long that condition remains there will be but per cent. of self-governmont in Alaska.
 ! What is true in Alaska is elsewhere. There is a large percentage of the lands in many of the public land States held in reservations by the Fed government ana self-goVernment in those States is limited to that extent This condition is not so noticeable there as in Alaska simply because much Of the lands and natural there passed into private State ownership that they have large mcasure of self-govenment.
 It has been about three decades since the late 6hator John T. Morgan of Alabama urged in a very able argument in the United States Senate that the United States Government should present to each State all the lands and natural possessed to the separate States in which they were r4fas ofoAo L<odnr pufpcses He contendeG that such action would mean the administration and disposal of those lands by tbocc who knew about the practical to which they could be put and that it necessary lu order to carry out in full measure the American nfinciple of seIf-government Senator Morgan was

GRAIN DECLINES ON CORN SELLING

CHICAGO, Dec. 1A-Ldvely selling in the corn market led to price set backs today both for corn and wheat. Predictions were current that re- larger. Wheat closed heavy at 's4 to B @ic net decline, May, $1.08A @ 1.0Sas and July, $1.06M @1.o6A. Corn finished % to 1Ac down; oats, f to ss O 1sc off, and provisions vary ing from unchanged figures to 10@ 12c loss.
 It was we'll along toward tho days end before wheat displayed any pro- nounced weakness Until then. the market had pointed upward most of the time influenced somewhat by re- ports of heavy rains embarrassing the Argentine harvest. More or less buying, too, was based on hopes of : Washington developments favorable to plans for advancing relief sup plies of food grains to Germany. Be- sides, world supplies of wheat were showing a smaller rate of increase than was the case a year ago, ana there was gossip that the United sued next week would show 10 per cent reduction in domestic winter wheat acreage.
 On the other hand, reports that 100 carloads of Canadian wheat were arriving daily at Minneapolis tend ed to weaken confidence on the part of holders here and to make the wheat market responsive to other pearish factors. Broadening out or selling in the corn pit came at this juncture. and sent wheat as well as corn downwArd in price tho remain der of the day, wheat finishing at the bottom figures reached.
 with weather conditions such as bears have been counting on for an increase of the crop movement. sell ing in the corn market was much more energetic than for some time past, and aggressive support was lacking. Oats, like wheat, declined with corn.
 Grain weakness depressed provi- sions at the last despite strength of hog values.

 S00,000 bales smaller than year ago spinners takings were large and the big gest interior markets sent in reports of a veritable scramble for spots. International political news was also encouraging and the stock market good. The south was a good buyer all day, but scalpers, strad diers and some big operators here and in New York sold extensively so the market turned soft in the late trading and closed practically at tl1e bottom. There was little or nothing to account for the selling ex- cept the theory that the>recent advance was not warranted by the government crop estimate and that reaction was due Forecast of ginnings of g. .46o,00o to De- cember 13 from of the bureaus vs s,4sssooo year ago. however, was gener- ally accepted indicating the bureau is too high, as it points to 216,000 ginned during the period vs. 169.Q00 last year and S7000 last half of November. Persistent selling may carry the reaction further but it will take constant pressure to do so. In our opinion declines are likely to prove short lived, because there are too many people waiting for such opportuni- ties to get cheap cotton.
