ment is seasonal, summer doldrums
of the first order are existent. Dis
content along with distress always
has and probably always will breed
radicalism. The initiation agitation
now surely can be said to be fostered
mainly by the left wing and the more
radical politicians. Would it not then
be only natural that, having the po-
wer accorded him under the silver
act. Mr.. Roosevelt should seek to al
leviate this condition by utilizing the
discretionary authority for acquisition
of silver?
Hits Man in Street
Everywhere is the question: what
will be the effect upon the man in the
street? As far as / can learn there is
only one answer and that comes out
of history. Without any official ex-
PLANTATION of the reasons for the cur
rent action, observers generally and
obviously turn to the past. Thus,
they cannot avoid the conclusion that
the man in the street, the individual
on salary or wage basis is going to
suffer unless the Presidents program
involves some hitherto unknown and
undisclosed treatment of this phase
of the problem.
The circumstance is simply this:
Payrol1s and wages almost never rise
as rapidly as commodity prices-the
things you buy in the corner grocery
and the clothes and shoes. Necessarily
then the wage Garner or the white
collar man has less in his number OF
dollars with which to buy the commod-
tiles upon which the inflationary pro-
cess has operated to increase the
prices.

years as writer on BUSINESS and fl

Hope to Boost Prices

Obviously the devaluation of the
dollar taken about this time last year
has proved inadequate to accomplish
price increases to the 1926 lsvcl--a
promise which Mr.. Roosevelt fire.
quently made during his campaign.
His advisors admit with some freedom
that the gold reduction program has
not forced the anticipated price
boost. This being true, it is only ma
tural as many observers hold that the
move regarding silver is intended To
supplement the action which cut the
gold content of the dollar from one
hundred cents to slightly below six
ty cents. Whether this further change
in the monetary structure will accom-
plish the desired price level, of course
remains to be seen. Administration
leaders are hopeful. Old-time sound
money men and the conservative thot
of the country are distressed.
In some quarters l hear discussion
of the silver action which places the
possible Interpretation upon it that IS
nothing more than confiscation of
commercial stocks Of bar silver at a
price arbitrarily fixed by the govern
ment. Among this school of thought
some hold to the opinion in addition
that the step is not particularly sig
nificant.
Fellow observers, / believe, pretty
generally have accepted the silver ma
tionalization as having been partly
due to the serious agitation for infla-
ton about which l reported several
weeks ago. 1t is easy TO understand
how this would come about and why
the date of August 9 was selected for
PRONUNCIATION of the new order. Out

THE IDEAS THE THING

One of the striking aspects of mod
ern scientific investigation is that let
a new law of fundamental principle be
demonstrated, no matter HON imper-
fectly at first, and the world is assur-
ed that the rest will follow. Literally
thousands of laboratory workers and
scientists at once set about curing de-
fects early manifested, and perfection
of method is certain to be secured.
Remember the first transatlantic
crossing of a wireless signal? When it
was definitely known that Marconi's
IS" from ireland was received at
Grace Bay, the future of wireless
transmission was Immediately predict
able. The wonderful subsequent de-
velopment was certain to take place.
Parallel cases were the steamboat,
the railroad locomotive, the automo-
bile, the airplane, the house radio re-
ceiver, the telephone, the electric
lamp, the printing press. There is
hardly one of the great utilities of
mankind that did not come from the
slow perfection of a crude idea.
Perfection is usually the product of
the combined efforts of many, and yet
there is glory and honor only for the
inventor who conceived the funda-
mental idea. Although their contribu-
ton is equally as essential as that of
the inventor, the men and women who
work quietly in laboratories to make
the invention practical die unsung and
usually unrewarded

iHORSESHOES-


Two thousand years ago Roman
slave tossed horse shoe in emulation
of the aristocratic discus thrower,
and thus the ancient honorable game
of horseshoes or quoits was born. Aft
er all, quoits are horseshoes gone ex-
pensive.
Never in the twenty centuries that
have since elapsed has the pastime
been out of favor although it has had
its lapse from universal popularity.
And today it is enjoying revival re-
sembling in proportions the midget
golf craze.
For tbs revival two things are
chiefly responsible: the repression
imposed need for inexpensive amuse-
ment and expanding waistlines. In
fields, backwards, parks, Fairgrounds
and vacant lots summer evenings find
men of all ages tossing horseshoes or
uppish quoits to get out of doing
something that costs money or to
keep the waist line under control.
The health value of this homely
pastime is not generally understood.
In an evening of quoits one will walk
several miles, do bending exercises
equivalent to a weeks morning calls
themes and work most of the muscles
of the arms, shoulders and back. It is
effective but not strenuous exercise.
Strange as it seems, mans gamb-
ling instinct has never shown itself
in this game. Nor has it ever been
commercialized. There facts may help
to explain the long popularity of the

The Colonial Council will meet at l. 80
pm. today.
The widely discussed Moorehead Re-
solution is on the Order of The Day.
This resolution proposes vote OF conf
dence in Pearson's admins ration, ana
the reason for proposing such vote of
confidence is clearly set forth in the
Resolution.
We believe this Bill will go through
the Courcil with flying colors. Members
of Council will admit that the people

make their protests against acts of the
administration or against the admins
tration itself The people are within their
rights to clamor for a change provided
the methods used are legitimate.

was the spontaneous action of the Cru
clan people the Council would De loath to
take any stand except it took the side
of the people.
But it is not fair to our people to ssk

the present Governor, with the object
of making room for another man. and
a man whom the people had never heard
about. The request to start the agta-
ton in ST. Thomas was made by friends
of the man who aspires to the office of
Governor. and some person in ST. Tho

Men who led in the demonstration
here did not know they were tricked
until they had gone far with the agita-
ton. They thought that the Democra-

a man more worthy of the position than
Governor Pearson, and further that
program of economic uplift was to be
carried through by this new man; that
