Conservative Policies Best

It is the general view Of economists that with
the recovery of industry to normal conditions
over the world and the sterilization of the ex.
changes, the trend of prices will be downward,
but this does not signify a fall comparable to
what is experienced in n business crisis. It
signifies rather the steady pressure of effective
competition, with improving methods every,
where.
There is a general belief that %ownward read
justments involve business stagnation and I'M
employment, and this is true where the changes
are precipitate, as in 1920-21 and 1873. In those
years, however, the fall was aggravated by the
denominations of goods, excessive expansion of
credit and the losses resulting therefrom.
We may expect the business men of this coun.
try TO be on their guard against those conditions
for some time TO come.
While boom conditions are inconsistent with
a DOWNWARD movement of prices, tho daily wants
of growing population makes it necessary that
a great volume of business shall 90 on. and I'M
less there arc surplus stocks to draw on indus
try must be fairly well employed in supplying
curreat demands.

Waning of Faith in Ballot

Nothing is more striking than the decay of
belief in many countries in the ballot box or in
the legislative assemblies through that medium.
The whole world seems to be in the throes of
revolution-a class dictator in Italy, a military
dictator in Spain, class war in Bulge ria, the
threat of civil war in Germany and likewise
Cuba. All are current illustrations of the world
wide revolt against the political state and of the
disposition of classes to take matters into their
own hands, not through the ballot box, but
through violence.
How can we affirm with confidence that the
waves of revolution may not reach our coun-
try? VIII our snug prosperity always prove a
sufficient bulwark against Bolshevism? Is it
safe to ignore the moral poison that is being
slowly injected into the veins of America by the
worldwide movement of communism which has
its source in Moscow and Petrograd?
1t may yet appear that the turning point in
modern history was when Britain and America
refused to join with France, shortly after the
armistice, in redeeming Russia from the cold
blooded tyranny of Lenine and Trotsky. AS long
as these two bloody d%ictators, in comparison
with whom Marat and Robespierre were com
partively respectable, govern the destines of that
hapless people and with their stolen booty at
tempt to poison the people of other countries, a
dark shadow rests upon the whole world.

Give the Home Boys a Chance

Foy Barnette was born in the
Miami-Globe district during the
early life of that camp when GOV.
Hunt was a moving spirit in that
locality. The governor knew Foy
as a child and later as a school
boy, as we'll as the whole Bar
nette family. Foy recently re-
turned from California to his
home here and, like many other
home boys, is looking about for
something steady to keep him
here. His recent visit to Phoe-
nix. where he renewed the ac-
quaintance of the governor, may
result in his being permanently
placed on the maintenance corps
of the new highway just being
completed between Wickenburg
and Hot Springs Junction. Such
things are good news to the
Miner, who sees therein a possi-
bility for holding the families of
the old home town together; and
it wishes that all the residents of
Wickenburg were as deeply con-
cerned about employment for the
many young men that are raised
and schooled here, but have to
60 away to make a living just as
soon as they graduate from
school. Wickenburg wants fac
tories; and a woolen mill, brick
yard, tufa building-stone factory,
lime and cement industry, or a
sanitarium on a large scale are
what the town needs to hold the
young men here after they are
grown up.

SUDDEN DEATH.
P. A. Eyerts Dies of Heart
Failure.

Last Saturday, shortly after
the Miner went to press, Al
Everts, as he was popularity
known here for many years, was
suddenly stricken with heart
failure and in a short time passed
to the unknown. The remains
were taken to Prescott forinterr-
ment where he was a member of
several lodges who jointly held
funeral obsequies on Tuesday,
the oath. The pool hall which
he operated for years with his
wife is again open, doing busi-
ness as usual with the bereaved
wife in charge. Many knew Al
as good fellow who was hale
fellow we'll met on all occasions
and would put himself out any
old time to do a friend good
turn. He was apparently pros
porous and last year built up the
old pool hall he was running into
the largest and most spacious
pool hall in Western Arizona.
Deceased was Al years of age,
sprightly and vigorous, and no
one would suspicion that he had
any physical defect. He was
head of the local fire department
and took a lively interest in mum
icipaI affairs, being a moving
spirit in all amusements. Many
will miss Al, for his congeniality
was proverbial.

OPENING OPPORTUNITY DOORS

The United States is now spend
ing over billion Of dollars annually
ON public school education, and
many people feel it is an awful sum

there are great masses OF people
whose education is Of Il fragmenlary
character. They are now fitted tor

ness
If this country is To gel the full
benefits that would flow from a
we'll trained and intelligent popnla-
ton, much must he done for var
;ous classes Of people who have had
limited or no schooling. Mi lions
of aliens need instruction in Eng
hsh speech and other common
studies. Many young people who
quit school at an early age ought
to have a chance to make up the
educational defects that they are
beginning to realize.
This great need is being met
quite generally through evening
schools and classes conducted by
social agencies, factories, etc. a
great army Of learners are gathering
in such groups, aud the spirit OF
persistence and ambition that they
manifest is remarkable.
While many pupils in our finest
schools and colleges are indifferent
about their work, and spend their
chief energy ON outside interests,
these learners who are making up
educational defects are doing so at
the the cost of toisome effort.
Most of them have regular. work
through the day, and when evening
comes they sit down to their books
instead of playing with the crowd,
The young people who are climbing
over obstacles in this way are bound
to make something of themselves.
The city that does the most to
help aliens learn English and assist

mental and technical equipment
for life, will be one that will have
the most intelligent working popu-
lation, and will likely to take a
prominent place in the competitions

automobile accidents will be more
frequent than ever before
And yet there is plenty of room
in the millions of miles of roads

biles. The trouble comes almost
entirely because Of the speed with
which cars are operated sand the
