 Good news may be expected re- earding trade and commerce, but It is well to be most conservative i'll all financial transactions.
 This is read as a favorable time for paying bills, but all borrowing should be avoided wherever possi- b,e. Tremendous world events are to affect financial conditions every where.
 While this configuration prevails a spirit of optimism should be help full to those who undertake public enterprises.
 Misunderstanding between capital and labor may be more and more serious as the year draws to an end. Workers apparently are under a direction of the stars that bodes i'll for many industries.
 There is good sign for all con- structive plans and for those who build either mentally or physically. Architects, builders and contractors TO well directed todav.
 In the aspects that seem to pre- sage sudden action the seers fore cast assassinations of men high in government affairs in foreign coun- tries.

CORRECTIVE MEASURES.

In his speeches in the West, Col. Frank Knox, the Chicago publisher who aspres to the Old Guard nomination for the Presidency next year, asserts that President Roosevelt by his plotings endangers the Constitution and the country" He asks his aud- fences at Republican county committee rallies-one was described tri-county affair-"Upon what food does this our feed? What madness has seized upon him?"
 Then apparently without awaiting al response from his audience the Chicago colonel recommends the diet upon which another Roosevelt fed in these words
 It seems clear to me that if to pre-
 serve competitive philosophy; if we to preserve individual liberty; if are
 to live under the kind of institutions that have given world leadership-then must
 go back to those corrective remedies for the ills of a competitive system which were s.= dramatized by Theodore Roosevelt
 Now Col. Knox has been at great pains-n the West-to proclaim his undying allegiance to the prn cples enunciated in the platform the Progressive Party in 1912 So is fitting refer that declara ion of principles because they written by the nominee for the Presidency himself and strongly defended and as vigorously expounded as any con- vention platform in our political history Here is it's definition of the ills of the competitive system" Behind the ostensble government sits
 throned invisible government, having al-
 legance and acknowledging no responsibilities
 to the people. To destroy this invisible gov-
 ernment, to dissolve the unholy alliance be-
 tween corrupt business and corrupt politics is
 the first task of the statesman of the day
 On the subject of the corrective measures so highly recommended by Col Knox, the Progressive platform of 1912 declared:
 Up to the limit of the Constitution and
 later by amendment to the Constitution if
 found necessary, advocate bringing under
 effective national jurisdiction those problems
 which have expanded beyond reach of the
 individual States
 It is grotesque, as it is intolerable that
 the States should by unequal laws in matters
 of common concern become competing com- mercial agencies, barter the lives of their
 children, the health of their women and
 the safety and well-being of their working
 people for the profit of their financial interests Has not this fortnight demand of B years ago for corrective measures been answered during the past thirty months with such enactments the National Labor Relations Act, the Agricultural Adjustment Act the Social Security Act the Securities and Ex- change Act the Banking Act the Utilities Holding Company Act the Home Owners Loan, Farm Credit Housing. IVA, and other recovery and reform meas ures of the Roosevelt Administration?

New York Times make this interesting point:

New York Times make this interesting point:
 Sergeant Stanley Morgan of the Army Signal Corps is back from his station at Point Barrow Alaska for a years furlough and service in the United States. It is his first visit in seven years. It fell to him to give the world such pieces of news as the arrival of the Lindberghs and the death of Will Rogers and Wiley Post, but he is described an un- assuming young rather bewidered by the attentions showered on him.
 What will happen to this quiet young man in the next few days? The ground in every direction is strewn with the corpses of would be prophets in every field yet one may pre- dict with a fair amount of confidence the immediate future of Master Sergeant Stanley Morgan from lonely Point Barrow on the shores of the Arctic.
 Sergeant Morgan will soon be heard on the radio He will be taken on a tour of the night clubs He will be entertained in a big suite at leading hotel. He will get view of New York from the top of Empire State Building with Alfred E. Smith to point out the sights to him,
 This happened to Dr. Dafoe of Ontario, to the little grandmother from Arkansas who won a prize as the best rural newspaper cor respondent to the lad who tracked thousands of miles across the Arctic wastes recently. The lonelier the spot they come from, the more unsophsticated their work the more night clubs they are compelled to visit in their tour of civilization.
 It is our theory that after Sergeant Morgan h done the various things an adulatory public insis on him doing as result of the hero-worshippi psychology on which feast, he will return to Poi Barrow when his years furlough is up and contin to carry on the work and traditions of the U Signal Corps, convinced no doubt of the height Al Smiths Empire State Building but surfeited wi the mob applause heaped every man who sees duty and does it well.

 With no clues yet uncovered which would lead to the Identification of the kidnaper of William Christie, and with no indication as yet whether Christie is dead or alive, search par ties of Douglas Island and vicinity, who have been searching diligently since his disappearance last Satur- day, relinquished hope that any clues will lie in that locality. Although search will be continued until def mite traces are found, police are becoming more and more certain that the case will be solved by apprekan- sion of the kidnaper and his victim in some coast town between here and Vancouver, B. c. Likelihood that Christie was taken away on a gasboat caused search to be made for all gasboats which had been reported in the Douglas Island vicinity in the last week. Police today said they are inclined to link the disappearance of Christie with other unexplained disappear ances of the past three months.
 Fear that Christie had been mur- dered was mitigated somewhat by failure of searchers to find any corpse or any traces of violence. It is also pointed out that the note found by Christie's wife, which said They are forcing me to go to Se- attle," would indicate that his pres ence was desired more urgently than his immediate demise.
 Telegrams from Petersburg and I Wrangell indicated local police were on the lookout for any strangers who might arrive.

STAY RELEASE
OF STEPHENSON
Attorney Generals Office
Gathers Evidence for
Hearing Friday.

Investigators from the Office Of
Atty. Gen. Philip Lutz Jr. are gath
ering evidence with which the At
torney General expects to block the
release Of D. c. Stephenson from
prison on a writ of habeaS corpus.
Stephenson. former Ku-Klux
Klan leader. won the first court
victory in his long fight for freedom
last week in La Porte Circuit Court
when the court refused to sustain
state motion to quaSh Stephenson's
writ petition
The former Klan chief is serving
life sentence for the murder of
Miss Madge Oberholtzer. Indian
apolis. Hearing on the writ Friday
Will amount almost to a retrial of
the case. 1t is said
Consequently, Mr. Lutz' deputies
and Investigators have found it nee
essary to interview members of the
jury and most of the persons con-
nected with the original trial to tes-
tify either personally or by af1-
davit
Stephenson'S petition for a habeas
corpus writ is based on failure of
the clerk of the Marion Criminal
Court to sign the transcript of evi-
dence on a change of venue from
Marion to Hamilton County where

LABOR COUNCIL
DISPUTE ENDED
Two Delegates of Brewery
Workers. Union Are
Seated by Body.

A jurisdiotional dispute involving
400 Indianapolis brewery employees
was ended today so far as the Cen
trail Labor Union is concerned.
Meeting last night, the Central
council voted to seat two teamster5
as delegates of the Brewery Work
erG Union, reserving a stand taken
some weeks ago Action was at the
suggestion of William Green, Ameri-
can Federation of Labor president,
who threatened action against the
council unless the delegates were
seated
The dispute began with dissension
among engineers, mechanics and
teamsters employed by breweries
who favor craft organization as op-
posed to industrial organization. AS
now constituted the union represents
all employees.
