BATTLING FOR G. o. P. CONTROL.

Down Indiana-way, political correspondents re- port Republicans battling among themselves for control of the Republican National Committee. Ever cit Saunders, one~tme Congressman later Secretary to President Coolidge and National Chairman by virtue of MT Hoovers recommendation last year wants to continue in that post. Former Senator James Watson, Republican leader in the Senate during the Hoover regime, also seeks the Chair manship.
 Saunders speaks for the Hoover Mills group, and Watson represents the G. O. P element which feels that a Republican new deal' is essential for the party's welfare Saunders. represents those who be- leve in snipng at President Roosevelt. Watson, one of the countrys most adroit politicians regards such policy suicidal at this time.
 The interest in the Hoosier conflict is almost wholly academic at the present Under existing con- ditions, with business recovery advancing daily as workers being added by the thousands to pay rols wages advancing and hours of employment declining, whether Saunders stays in or Watson throws him out is not of much concern to the rank and file of Americans who rejoicing at the improvement in conditions.

BROADENING THE BUSINESS FRONT

The determination of the Administration to speed the lifting of business by more rapid increase oi buying power through voluntary wage scale advances and limitation of hours of labor comes at time when the status of the nations business and industry is more encouraging than at any time Tn more Ihan three years. With more sections of the country falling into line particularly the Pacific Coast the recovery of business in the country has assumed sweeping proportions. The nation has entered the second half of the year with a comfortable lead over last year and with confidence in the future.
 The gains have been supstaniial enough to put an end the inference that the recovery has been due to the depreciation of the dollar on the world markets It is now firmly believed in number of quarters that direct imitation may never be needeo to bolster the prices already rising thanks to the actual improvement in business conditions ana, Ill the important case of grains, to natural causes
 Improvement in the lumber business in the Pacific Northwest following nearly six years of acute depression that industry, and in the coast agrcu- ture is also benetting from improved conditions lhe advance in prices in the wheat belt has ameorated substantially the financial situation in the farming community. In the East and South industrial gains continue
 All the important indces continue to advance and may be expected to reflect further improve ment due to growing gains from the lifts in pur- chasing power resulting from unemployment, wage increases and general activity. Conservative ten dencies in major industries indicate that the ao- vantages are not to be over-pressed during the Summer corresponding determination Of re- taiers to continue prices as low as possible unui higher costs of materials force an advancing gives further indication of the soundness of the influences Naturally With higher commodity prices, there must be a corresponding rise in living costs To meet these, the plan of the Administration, as announced by Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, Director of National Recovery Administration to bring employ CTS into voluntary agreements to advance wages and limit hours is timely and should benefit capital equally as much as it does labor.

Four Decades.
(New York World Telegraph

Chicago opened the Columbian Exposition in the midst of depression second in it's devastation only to that which exists today. The Worlds Far of 1893 faced a situation almost distressing as that of 1883. It was a gesture of sdefiance even more inspiring than this of "A Century of Progress started by a ray of light that left the Arcturus as the Columbian Exposition was opening it's gates.
 America in 1893 dug into its resources and Tn spite of falling markets and financial cataclySms made a success of it's $40,000000 show. In the artistic splendor of the Grand Court and the gay abandon of the Midway Plasance it forgot tis peris and its miseries and laughed away it's fears.
 The parallel is worth recalling for more reasons than that disasters pass that national courage science have gone a long way forward from the splendid elimination of end-o-the century achieve ment That is something for pride. But what of fundamental human progress? Why, in this field, should we appear to move only in circles?
 President Roosevelt in his message to the Ex- position expressed the hope that we might turn more to spiritual and social development. The first third of that twentieth century to which the world came with confident expectations of a era of peace and happiness for mankind has provided mainly colossal strife and suffering
 Yet there is reason to believe that ray from source that has seemed much more remote than Arct,rus already has started the machinery of a far greater progress than any we have yet known.

States of Consciousness.
Boston News Rureau.l

Woodrow Wilson was derided twenty years ago for the emphasis he put upon psychology in cata- loguing and condemning certain things. His success much more successful by history the same score
 That is at least far the first third of his first year has been concerned, and perhaps most because he practced rather than preached psychology as such, in a bewdering series of deeds rather than any flow of words.
 Long ago psychology defined the "de- scription and explanation of states of conscious ness such" Accepting that definition, there is present need only to contrast the state of the general popular consciousness in early July with what it was a few months before The evidences are numerous and palpable beyond dispute.
 One need contrast only former discontent and defeatism of spirit with later almost com- plete acceptance and serenity. Time had of course been working for the dspenSation There was also the age-od concept of the new broom, here called with psychological aptness .he new deal"
 Then the flood of promised action,-messages measures, enactments all constituting radical changes where change had rightly wrongly be- come a great psychological temptation Beer was one good bit of psychology Likewise the promise of repeal Imitation" certainly another in its
 intriguing possibilities. The disarming frankness and cheerful audacity of manner enhanced it all.
 One need also only to note and measure the mood of almost utterly compliant even fatalistic acceptance of the climax of the industrial recovery act recognize the great psychological shift. The wave has high and far

GAINS IN WEALTH.

For those who measure the scope of the nations progress the road to recovery by the appreciaoh quoted values, the market records at the outset of the second half of the year lend themselves to fascinating calculations. Taking only the stocks and bonds listed in the New York Stock Exchange ana the three major agricultural commodities, some stag gering figures can be shown. From March l. shortly before the broad upward movement got under way, up to June 30, the aggregate increase in open market values was roughly $17,500 10000. The gain would be much impressive if all unlisted stocks and bonds and those traded elsewhere than on the New York Stock Exchange and large number of minor commodities to enter into the calcula- tions But the figures sufficiently Illuminating without these They show for instance, that in the three and one-half months since the bank holiday ended and the signal was given on the ex- changes for the upsurge, the 1200 issues on the Stock Exchange rose from less than s2O000 00O0 900 to about $33 900 100000 of June 30, gain of S13 OOO 100000 The 800 issues of bonds on that Exchange rose from $30800 100000 to $3440o OO00o0 an increase of $3,600,000,000.
 In the case of wheat taking into account all visible domestic supplies and using the Governments latest crop estimates of the Winter and Spring crops the total valuation has gone up about $45000O,00O For corn, figured the same basis, the increase in market values was something like 325,0O0,OOO The advance of cotton from six cents a pound, or
  a gain of $2370OO,O00 not taking into consideration anything except the cotton on hand.
 Rising prices are of course, good news for everyone. Countless persons profit at once from a boom in price levels, and even those who hold no equity in goods stocks and bonds have prospect of job better job, raise in pay rising market is one that pleases everyone and offends no one.
 It is certain that the rises in commodities have
 tl.o xf,ra population Advances in prices of manufactured Ooods and in securities have been made the basis for wage scale advances, and have had a curative effect upon injustices in industry
 Whether prices have risen out of proportion to the recovery and ahead of wage scale advances IS a matter of debate The Administration has warned that 1t will tolerate price-hking at this stage If it can prevent this, then one of the biggest and hardest tasks it has to perform in restoring

Construction.
Daily Journal of Commerce, seattle)

Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle)
 Pertinent to the claim of the construction fra ternty that construction is of basic importance to the employment sitution, there has been compiled by the Construction League of the United States information which shows that every tenth person gainfully employed in 1929 depended for his live lihood construction. Further more employment was furnished indirectly in dependent industries as was created by actual construction work
 That the railroads, mines, and other contribut- ing industries lean heavily construction is clear from the facts that out of every five carloads of freight moved in 1929 carried construction mater als in raw finished form,' states Architect Robert D. Kohn, General Chairman of the league. Five per cent of all coal mined was burned to make these materials and per cent of the whole salers of the country busy with their dstribu- tion This multiple division of the construction dollar proves it to be tremendous factor in the complicated and interlockng economic life Of today"
 More than ever does this statement indicate the urgent necessity of public works program. More than ever is it important that the Government authorities recognize the claim and act accordingly in affording work, with the least possible delay, to millions of our long idle workers.

NEW YORK, July 25.- After concluding that gold at a fixed price was the long-sought stable money base, is the world now to change tune and decide, paradoxi- cally, that gold on a fluctuating price is actually more stable?
 One of the major proposals Of the advocates of manager mon ey system is that unless gold's price is made to change in rela- tion to other prices, the inequalities consequent to violent price changes will continue, even grow worse.
 Gold, A Commodity
 The first fact required for un- derstanding this argument is that gold is a commodity. Watches and rings are made from it, just as knives and forks are made from silver, or bread from wheat. But gold almost alone has a fixed price
 The legal definition of gold dollar is 1922 grains of gold, which is at the rate of $2067 an ounce. The price of wheat, for example, varies with supply and demand so that the price" comes to repre- sent wheats 'value."
 Supply and demand, however, have no effect on the price of gold, but they do affect it's val ue"-what it is worth in terms of wheat and other commodities.
 Would Stabilize Gold Value
 The purchasing power of gold and that of currency, when n, of course, the money is on the gold standard, are the same. Advocates of a managed currency argue that gold causes all money to fluctu- ate too violently in ''value"-pur- chasing power-because of any one commodity tends to be unstable. This means that $1 might purchase bushel of wheat in one year and two bushels in another.
 The idea of managed money is to make that dollar purchase ap- proximately the same amount of a group of commodities all the time. The price of gold, therefore, would be made to fluctuate with the prices of such group-an average of prices of several hundred com modities, in effect, a sort of com posite commodity"
 Suppose an ounce of gold was worth $l0 one week when 10 units of the composite commodity" were also worth $10; suppose in the next week the 10 units moved to $11; then the price of an ounce of gold automatically would become $11. The price" of gold would fluctuate with it's purchasing power-its val ue" in buying the composite. If the price of gold were not so changed the 10 units of commodity would buy an ounce and one-tenth of gold or a $1.10 in money. The original dollar would have lost pur- chasing power, while the com posite commodity" would be more valuable. The person who received the commodity would find the value of his money reduced.
 If the price of gold is changed and thus the price of the dollar, the person with the dollars will find that by law they have been changed in purchasing power to S1.10 to keep up with the com posite commodity"
 The theory is that, on the aver age, neither the commodity holder or the money holder would lose or gain by such price changes. TomOrrOw-Mixing Silver with

Mr.. Barwick peacefully passed away
on November Bird, after only few days
illness. He was one of the best known
and highly respected citizens of the
community. 1t had been the writer's
good fortune and pleasure to know him
for almost fifty years, thirty OF which
however, had been from a distance. He
was in his late seventies and had re-
sided in the home locality his entire
life.
He had an outstanding reputation for
fair dealing. that was exemplary and
while he was successful in his chosen
vocation, the lumber business, his sole
ambition in life, it would seem, was
his family and friends and his interest
in the Methodist Protestant Church.
1t is known that he many times sac
rificed his personal rights rather than
engage i'm contention or litigation. APP
parently. he never had an enemy. He
delighted in following the teaching of
the great Nazarene Whom he loved
and Whose life he so closely typified
by precept and example.
Naturally, he will be sadly missed
and while he has passed on, his MEM
ory, his life and his works will he
cherished and live on indefinitely
among those with whom he came in
In looking back over his career, one
is instantly reminded of the beautiful
words of DR.. Norwood of the City
Temple of London, who said:
He who meets sorrow without bit
terness, and is not coursened by
prosperity, who is defeated but
fights on or is triumphant and re-
mains humble, who carries the
hopefulness of youth into the deep
ening shadows of old age and when
the sun is setting is confident of
the morn. this is the man who has
lived we'll"
