way we will do it another. Do it we
will"
GOod-Up to Present.
Mr.. Roosevelt used several ways
Examination of these ways in the light
Of history will probably say that some
were wholesome, some less wholesome;
some necessary, and some unneces-
sary. But TO go into all that now
would merely involve us in academic
contention. Nobody today wants, ex-
| cept for academic purposes, a debate
on whether reducing the gold content
of the dollar was wise or unwise,
necessary or unnecessary. About some
others of Mr.. Roosevelts price-raising
methods. there is little argument.
Most authorities concede that some
of the ways were good that the pur-
pose as whole was good, and that
the effect now achieved is good-up
to the present point.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not say definitely
just how high he wanted the rise to be-
1t was generally assumed that the goal
he had in mind was something ap-
fioc h1
The present level Is somewhat less
than that.
The rise so far has been wholesome.
The chief purpose and effect of rails
ing prices has been to make it possible
TO pay debts Farmers who could not
pay interest or principal on their
mortgages with the Accent wheat of
1888, can pay readily with the 1.30
wheat of today. BY making it possible
for interest to be paid on mortgages.
Mr.. Roosevelt saved many insurance
companies, savings banks and other
financial institutions. For these held
most of the mortgages and bonds
which could not be paid with prices
at their 1888 level
This purpose of bringing about high
prices has now been practically ac-
complished. There is no question any
more about the soundness OF financial
institutions. Farmers and others have
been able to pay the interest on their
mortgages, and have been able either
to pay off the mortgages or to renew
them at lower ates of interest. Sub
stantially all this purpose is now taken

still embarrassed by debts Is the excep-
ton.
Probably the bulk Of popular opinion
would be pleased to see prices 70 still
higher. for the average man as q rule
is usually under the illusion that
higher prices are good. An exception
to this broad rule Is that housewives
do not like to see prices Of food rise
higher.
Rise Must Stop.
But the bulk OF expert opinion
knows that from this point on the
true path to real national well-being
lies not in further rise Of prices. but
in preventing too great a rise. To this
class Of opinion 1t Is apparent Mr..
Roosevelt himself belongs. The best
authorities agree that the range Of
prices six months or so from now will
be an index to the near future in
America. They feel that a continu-
ously rising level would point toward
disaster. A restrained level would
point toward wholesome prosperity
dIIu pOliLlIdl dii0 oOCldl SJdDlllIy.
So three years after Mr.. Roosevelt
expressed his determination to make
prices rise, he is faced by the desir-
ability of preventing too great a rise
This was to have been expected; un-
doubtedly Mr.. Roosevelt himself antici-
pated it.
For now preventing an excessive
rise, Mr.. Roosevelt has several instru-
mentalities. They will need to be used
with greater care than he had to
exercise when his purpose was to make
prices rise. At that time he could
throw all his price-rising methods into
the pot at once and make 1t boil. That
condition Of 1888 lent itself to the
technique which Mr.. Roosevelt once
described in a speech: do something:
If It works, do it some more: If it does
not work. do something else" But
today, the methods Of preventing run
away prices must be used with the
delicacy and precision Of fine piece
of machinery.

the time and on another scale for
private orders.
Likewise the Government has let
it be known that 1t will not be averse
to using the provisions Of the Robin
son-Patman law to prosecute any
companies that sell to the Govern
ment with a quantity discount that
they do not give to other customers
for like quality Of materials or prod
ucts.
So the bidder on Government con-
tracts cannot squeeze just to get Gov
ernment business. His price to Uncle
Sam must be just as low to other
bidders.

As yet more Of this is anywhere near
as devastating to the operations Of
business as would be the proposal to
include all orders of $4,000 or less.
Once that change comes, large per-
centage of the businesses of the coun-
try will virtually be under the N. r. A.
once more, notwithstanding the
unanimous decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States, which
said the Federal Government did not
have power to regulate hours Of work
or working conditions in business and
industry.
Questions of constitutionality are
involved, of course, but the theory Of
the Roosevelt administration is that
nobody needs to bid on Government
business unless he wants to do 20.
and that anybody who voluntarily
accepts the conditions offered by the
Government in selling to the Gov
ernment is estopped from questioning
the constitutionality of statute from
which he derives benefits. That was
decided in a Supreme Court opinion
in what is known as the Booth fish
cries case several years before the
New Deal came into power. Some
other angles of the case may arise to
bring about a test Of constitutionality,
but as yet none is on the horizon.

at Toxic, seeking means to prevent
the use of deadly cyanide for murder
or suicide, has succeeded in giving the
poison an unmistaksble odor without
affecting its essential properties. Sc
offensive is the odor that any one
carrying even small quantity of the
poison would be known to persons
nearby. The police will ask manu-

 Two things probably responsible for the Mayors great support from the voters of Juneau First Is the excellent record of himself and his council in office during the last year and, secondly. much of the pro- gram which he mapped out is yet to be finished. As most of the electorate obviously felt it would have been doubtful business to put a man, matter how efficient into the job of handling $100000 year business when the who had been doing the job in good style was available, especially in view of the fact that there is large number of public works projects yet be handled with which he is familiar

few years ago wrote book on the Supreme Court Il it he made this interesting observation:
 Doubtless there is time when judge
 reaches account of age, the limit of effective
 service but it is very difficult to fix that time.
 Some Judges have stayed too long on the bench.
 It is extraordinary how reluctant aged
 judges to retire and to give up their ac-
 customed work. They seem to be tenacious of
 the appearance of adequacy.
 Under present conditions of living, and in
 view of the increased facility of maintaining
 health and vigor the age of TO may well be
 thought too early for compulsory retirement
 Such retirement is often the communitys loss
 A compulsory retirement at 75 could more
 easily be defended.
 Truly it is a fine point to when person reaches that time in life when judgment may be affected by age Where sound health prevails is usually accepted that advancing years mature and ripen Judgment though reactions to changing conditions and en- trenchment in habit may have bearing An outstand- ing example of keen mind long after 70 or even 75 was seen in the case of famous Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes who served the bench with distinction to the ripe old age of 91 and who died but last year in his 95th year Former Chief Justice Fancy served until he was ST and former Chief Justice Marshall to 80 years. While they may be exceptions, there would appear to be more than little good judgment in the words of Chief Justice Hughes that retirement age of 75 could be more easily defended than age prior to that time.

THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1886 Again the stars smile upon the inhabitant of this part of the world, according to astrology. Under this planetary government both the mental and physical energies should be stimulated.
 The morning hours are fortunate for both Atlantic and Pacific voy- agers.
 Those who draw their incomes from lands should profit under this sway. Real estate will become ac- tive in many parts of the country
 There is a good sign for farmers which will be called upon to supply great quantities of food. In certain states crops may be ruined, but prices will be high in the autumn.
 Labor should benefit while this configuration prevails Skilled hands will be in demand through the sum- mer and apprentices in many trades will also be required.
 The seers emphasize the need of rest for both men and women. A kill ling pace will cause many sudden deaths through the summer, it is predicted.
 Leisure will become a national need that must be met and the movement for shorter working hours will gain impetus as life-Saver as well as a wise economic measure. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of steady gain that brings much happiness. Wo- men should be happy in a new sense of security. 4
