that the fight was one of the most
realistic ever seen on the screen.

the action, Barthampton, renegade
Englishman, plans to abduct the girl
and is prevented by Lane from exc
cutting his design after terrible bat
tie in which Northampton is killed.

these earnings will buy than at any
time since the war, not excepting the
peak of 1920. Cost of living in July
of this year, which is the latest time
when comprehensive figures are avail
able, was $3.50 above the 1914 level.
This was decline of 20.8fc from the
peak of high prices in July 1920.
Most noteworthy were the increases
in rents throughout the country,
averaging 1870 in spring of 1921.
Since March, 1922, up to July, 1923,
there has been a gradual rise in the
cost of living aggregating 4.7fs.
Of this increase LIZ occurred since
March of this year.
Average cost of clothing increased
less than III since March of this year.
In March, 1920, the clothing peak
was 1879 above the pre-war aver
age. Since then they have declined
1870. There has, however, been a
slight increase since March of this
year, averaging 8 Of Ia for the aver
age families clothes. The net in
crease in the family clothing bill is
now 70lt more than in 1914.
Comparing living costs with wages
and hours of employment, the board
finds that wages now have a higher
purchasing power than in 1920, when
they were supposed to be highest.
During first half of 1923 increased
pay and higher level of hours worked
resulted in substantially increased
earnings.

FARMERS AND POLITICIANS

Farmers must feel resentment over
the palaver of professional politicians
who try to make agricultural con-
ditions seem worse than the facts will
warrant in order to curry favor, but
who can offer no logical solution for
farm problems. If we were farming
we would welcome sincere co-opera-
ton, but we wo1ld shun condescension
from people who amount to less,
who accomplish less, whose reward
is less and whose hope is less. The
farmer has big business. He has a
large sphere of varied possibilities.
Sometimes he wins; sometimes he
loses, but in the long run his confor-
table gain would make his anxious
political adviser turn green with envy.
AS he looks down from his estate. he
must regard with amusement the
small potatoes.-Wayne (Nebr.)

the balance of power. The govern

parties, with nothing of consequence
promised by conditions amounting 20
legislative paralysis. The country
must await another presidential
election for release from This ~

MANIA FOR LAW-MAkING

Speaking in Boston on June 10
Bunker Hill Day-former United
States Senator Albert j. Beveridge
characterized in the following I'M
equivocal languages the American
mania for law making:
Government supervision of and in
reference with human life and ac-
tivities in the United States bid fair
to break down our entire experiment
in popular self-rule.
Consider the appalling fact: One
adult person out of every twenty

mean, of course, all government,
county, city and national. Today all
the gold known to exist in the world
would barely pay the total cost of
Government in America for one single
year.
"Another astounding fact is tina.
Americans are forbid by law to &c
more things, and by law forced to do
more things than were the Russian
people under the Gar or the German
people under the Kaiser. Moreover
nearly all of these rer"ossive OPP
pressive and autocratic laws and
regulations have been forced OH the
statute books by selfish miror;+ies
