High quality greenhouse products

to their side which the wets expected had
been set by Gov. Alfred Smiths action on

Reaction of public sentiment to President
Harding's speeches on his western trip may
be expected to throw a side light on what
are likely to become leading issues in the
presidential campaign of next year But
what is issue in one section may be of
negligible interest to another. The Presi-
dents failure to make an issue of some ques-
tion will furnish opportunity for some party
or element to adopt it as an issue, and his
assertion of an issue furnish the democrats
ground for taking the other end of the ques-
ton.

Whatever differences of opinion may ex-
ist among republican leaders over the various
phases of the Presidents speeches and
recommendations, it is said that they realize
he is doing the best thing that can be done
presenting his views frankly and fearlessy
letting the country form its own judgment
upon them, being himself willing to acquesce
in the majority sentiment of the voters
whether it be favorable or unfavorable to
them.
They point out that there is no side
stepping evasion by the President of the
grave problems which must come up for the
rendition of an opinion upon their solution
by the voters in the elections of 1924
The state superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League of New York, William H. An
uerSOH, mas discovered a mucous plot OF the
wets to bring the democratic national con-
vention to New York. Members of the dem
ocratic national committee have received a
letter from Mr.. Anderson, claiming that
conspiracy is on foot to bring pressure on
the national convention in favor of wet
plank in the democratic national platform
and wet candidate.
The effort to get this convention located
in New York" says his letter to the national
committeeman, "is part of the conspiracy
OF the criminal and outlaw liquor traffic and
its political and journalistic allies to secure
the nomination of wet, or least damp
candidate, and the adoption of wet or
damp platform.
They believe that by locating the con-
vention in the notification center of America
more convincing demonstration can be
made of alleged wet public sentiment"

vention if this objection is to prevail? 1t

J AGES throughout America
Nh are swinging up an in
clined curve, fast bound
for the peak Of 1920. The
nations pay rolls Jumped in a gigantic
total. approach $1,000. 100000 a week.
The army of workers, counting all
heads, Is nearly 42.500,000 strong.
The pay Of the men, women and chill
dren on those rolls, averaged
throughout all states and all indus
tries, is barely a dollar a week less
than it was at the height of our
postwar boom.
Such are the high spots of an un-
official computation based upon off,
cial figures made public during the
week by the Department Of Labor,
covering 2.250,0o0 employees of more
than 5000 establishments in forty
seven lines of endeavor. The conclu-
sions are borne out by private inves-
legations along the same line. A fur
ther disclosure, checked alike by Of
fclal and unofficial observers, Is that
idleness in the United States is a
thing of the past. The labor shortage
feared in the spring Is being felt in
a score or more Of industries.
Shortage In Acute Stage.
In one of these industries, the
building trades, the shortage appar-

and has resulted recently in stimu-
