 Firms, Reported Executed

Athens. Jan. 22.-The execution of Thomas Joannides, for 10 years rep resentative in the Near East of large American milling concerns. is report ed in messages from Smyrna.
 Joannides is said to have been hanged by the Turks with seven prominent Greeks after being con- victed of giving money to Greek pa triotic societies in smyrna.
 American official and unofficial agencies had made urgent appeals to the Turks in Joannides behalf.

Pagans.

The bishop of Zanzibar, returning
to London, tells the Anglo-CathOiic
congress that he finds London as pa
gan as Zanzibar. He knows the peo-
pie of the isle he left behind him. He
knows they are greedy, undisciplined
children of impulse, without the back
ground of centuries of progress to-
ward light and the slow processes OF
social evolution. But in some OF the
latter-day manifestations the crowded
capitals of the worlds puissant cOun-
tries are as barbaric as the savages
to whom missionaries and Bibles are
sent.
No wonder many Chinese and In
dams gravely hold that we of the
West are as much in need of con-
version as they. They have seen us
going to war with prayer and psalm,
each side equally confident that it has
a monopoly of the divine blessing.
They have seen the aftermath of war
"a growing laxity of manners and
morals which lays more stress on
esthetics than on ethics and cOnsid-
ers moderation or self-control among
the few objectionable sins. The
bishop of Zanzibar feels that London,
where he ministered thirty years
ago, has forgotten God. No doubt
the heather would sympathize with
him in his dismay.
If we are but minded to listen,
there are, many things the isles Of
the sea and the far parts of Cathay
could teach us as to right living.
We have pagans at our doors worse
than many of those in the woods. Let
us in our zeal to civilize East Africa
and Central Asia look we'll to the
ways of our own households and not
forget the heather round about our
homes. -Philadelphia Public Ledger.

After Failing AutOists.

Names of 1885 automobile owners
who are delinquent in the payment
of their motor vehicle tax have been
certified to the clerks of the various
county courts by Mike Holm, secretary
of state.
The automobile department of the
secretary of states office is through
with these delinquents, Mr.. Holm an
nounced and the matter of collecting
the tax now rests with the county
sheriff.
Two weeks ago, Mr.. Holm addressed
notices to more than $4,000 delinquent
car owners. Almost half these de-
linquents observed this notice by MAX
ing application for their 1923 plates.
OF these Who are still delinquent g.
625 are residents of Hennepin county,
1920 of Ramsey county and 1850
of st. Louis county.
The next procedure, Mr.. Holm said,
will be for the clerks to issue cita-
tions to their respective sheriffs by
July "a. If the tax is paid before
that date it is probable no sheriff
or court fees will be attached to the

These are the main reasons why the
Western roads are not earning as
satisfactory dividends as those of the
East. The great items of freight in
the West are products of the soil
lumber, stock, grain and fruit-anl
all agricultural products have lower
rate than many other commodities.
1t is quite the fashion to blame the
railroads for most of the business de-
preston and low prices coming to
the farmers, but there is another side
to the story-and from the railroad
point of view it is quite as difficult a.

Ralph M. Easley in New York
Times.
In one\ respect the situeaion IN
Minnesota last. Monday was much like
that in Kansas in 1890 when the po-
pulists swamped the state, while In
other respects it was just the reverse.
For instance, Senator John j. ingalls,,
who was so bitterly fought that year
by Mary Ellen Lease and Jerry Simp-
son, stated very happily that if Kan
sas had had two good rains-one IN
April and one in May of that year
he would have been Overwhelmingly
reelected. The farmers had lost
their crops for several seasons. They
had mortgaged everything they had
and were facing foreclosure and ruin.
The panacea of ''free silver, 16 to 1,55
was offered them as way out and
they embraced it.
The upheaval in Minnesota as not
because the crops had burned up but
because they hadn't burned up. In
other words, in Kansas it was under
production and in Minnesota over
production, both leading to the same
unhappy end.

on the trusts, because they had not
developed to any extent at that time;
but "Wall street." the railroads, banks
and monopolists in general got all
that was coming to them, as they did
in the Minnesota election. Of course,
in 1890 they had the characterization
of silver, "the crime of 49," to right,
and that gave them definite pro-
gram to work upon. But in a few
years, with succession of good crops
and the lack of any great achieve
ments in congress by Senator PETER
and Messrs. Simpson and Weaver, the
populist representatives, the farmers
gradually resumed their former re-
publican affiliations.
In the Minnesota situation history
is not likely to repeat itself on the
first count, because the better the
crops the worse conditions will be un-
til the foreign markets are restored,
while on the second count there were
no new and startling legislative pro-
pOsals. They have all been before
congress in some shape or other and
have never secured any following of
moment.

agriculture Then there is the com
petition of the Panama canal. Those
who have not studied the situation
may think that this is more of plea
than fact-but the fact is that
lumber on the Western coast is sent
to the Eastern market by boats down
the Pacific to the canal, and then up
the Atlantic coast to the Eastern citi-
es. This gives low rate to the East
for lumber, and is probably lower than
would be profitable for the roads to
meet. Even if they could meet this
ocean rate by sending train loads
across the country, avoiding transfers
by through shipments in agreements
with the Eastern roads, they are pro-

The Handicaps Of
Western Roads.

The address of President Charles
Donnelly to the Kiwanis club here
adds much to the understanding of
the handicap of Western roads. These
roads have been operating under two
disadvantages as compared with the
roads of the East.
They have not been allowed the
same increase in rates as those Of
the East, and the rates have been
reduced on many freights by the in
terstate commerce commission, to aid

lanai has announced an immediate
reduction in the price of gasoline of
6.6c per gallon applicable throughout the
entire territory in which it does business
1t asserts that the retail prices thus
made are below the cost of production
and distribution.
The Governor of the State of South
Dakota, buying distress gasoline below
cost OF production, and charging against
the State no adequate cost of diStribu-
ton, is selling gasoline to the public in
the State of South Dakota at l6c per
gallon.
The Standard Oil Company (Indiana).
operating on it's established policy that
the customers who purchase it's goods
should never be compelled to pay a
higher price than that fixed and main,
tanned by any competitor, quality and
service being duly. considered. has met
this price.
Other State Executives and Officers of
municipalities, with entire propriety.
have suggested that any prices made in
South Dakota be made applicable in
their States. Competitors in other
states and communities over the terri
tory. also buying distress gasoline below
cost of production, have also cut the
prices hitherto established and main
tanned. in substantial amounts.
In establishing the above price, the
Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is
not endeavOrlng to lnjure any Of its
competitors in any way.
1t deprecates the stand taken by some
OF it's competitors that the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) is endeavoring, by
reason OF meeting these cuts in price and
these demands for lower prices. to put
its competitors out of business.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
does not wish to put any competitor out
of business because it feels that competi-
tors are necessary to the successful con.
duct of it's business. 1t will welcome a
change Of attitude on the part of all
parties concerned resulting in reason
able price for gasoline which will enable
not only it but ali of it's competitors to
enjoy reasonable profit
1t recognizes that the majority of its
competitors are fine business men, en-
titled to the fairest treatment both by
the public and by this Company.
The present situation is an exact parallel
to one where the butcher. the grocer. the
druggist, the dry goods and shoe mer.
chants and every other retailer would be
forced to sell at less than the wares cost.
How long would it last? What would
a condition like this do to all of us-if
it persisted and spread?
We want no monopoly-seek none. We
want your trade-but only on the basis
of quality and service-not as the result
of impossible prices.
We want competition-you want us to
have it. 1t makes the scales of business
balance.
These are not idle words. They mean
just what they say.
