Thata what the people thought we would get away from, the useless expenditures of ; millions to build battleships and the ronverting of this energy and expense into other lines, such as road building and permanent improvements. Once more it la reported that President Harding is about to pardon Deb*. Well, of course, there* no telling what a man may do. but if President Harding is really wise he will do nothing of the sort. From his cell in prison. Debs makes it perfectly plain that he ia unrepentant, and likewise unswerving in his hatred of our government. He will do all within his power to destroy it and at best his release would but be to encourage disloyalty sad treason. Grant even that the fellow believes all he says, the fact remains that ho ia a maniacal and dangerous troublemaker.

ASK FOR RETURN TO CONFIDENCE By DANIEL W. MARTIN

"Let us return to confidence in one! another and in the business of this country,” was the keynote of a speech delivered before the Rotarians and members of the Decatur Industrial dasociation. Thursday evening by D W. Martin of Swift X Company. ‘ Periods of inflation are always fol ! lowed in economic history by periods of deflation. YVe have passed the period of inflation and are new in the midst of the swing back to normal Where one of these abnormal periods I come there is always a lack of con fidence. The public is suspicious of business and business men One business does not have confidence in another Somehow or other extreme conditions make us all lose our men tai balance. Just now that is <ute of ( the things that is tae matter with us When such periods come, we search for a can** and we are altogether too apt to think that the cause lie* in some abuse or in some wrong bnsinee* methods One group will maintain that the railroad* are responsible for our bad economic ccnditicas. Aneth-1 •r maintains that the Federal Reserve ' Bark is responsible and still another hold* labor accountable "In all cf this there is a great <fo*l| of error.

I have the credit*. The period of pros- ' perlty was therefore of short duration. When it became evident that Europe j could not pqy and that her credit was not strong, the peak of prices had been reached. Reaction set in; dej tlatlon began. I "Y’ou are interested, of course, in when we are going to get back to a period of economic stabilixatkm. To put it in the language of the man on the street, the question is when are we going to get back to normal. "An attempt to answer such a questions a* that, one of the very first considerations that must be borne in mind te this: "You must have economic equilibrium between the dis ferent business groups in the country. Today we do not have it. • Let me illustrate that the prices of hide* on the Chicago market is back to a pre-war basis. The same thing can be said or No. 2 corn of No. 2 cuts, of bogs and of cattle. I am speaking now of Chicago prices, but what I say about Chicago prices is spproumstely true of prices every- « tore. Now when this farmer, having j<i4 his raw material, goes to buy tixautactured goods, shoes, clothing, torrcw*. plcw*. etc., does he find the red action ? You know, of course. , -.Am he does not This is not said in a sprou of criticism of anybody. It s simply stating the facts of the r_s.*e» siu.iturn as it exists. ~U is important then, in thinking iXwit our economic situation, to reaesber that it is very easy to say toa: something is wrong, and very easy to blame somebody. It is. on the other hand, a very difficult thing to say. just what U wrong, and it is much more difficult to place one s finger upon the responsible party. The agitator very glibly states h» conclusions, and very positively fixes his responsible party. Are business men going to listen to him. or are they going to apply the same attitude toward all business men in reaching conclusions that they could like to have all business men apply to them in reaching their conclusions?" > MONROE BEATS PORTLAND 1 The Monroe high school basketball • team defeated the Portland high school team at Monroe Friday evening. the score being 56 to 11- The Monroe second team also came out victorious with the Portland second - team, the score being 25 to 3. Both games were played on the Monroe t floor. A large crowd witnessed the game, and the Mon-cites handled the ball at will. Portland not having a - look-iu.

S i M SI I The Lost Needle | r SB .r 6 There s an old English play known as “Gamrner Garton s Needle. Its plot is woven around the loss of the I family needle—no trifling misfortune in the days of old. *• g Today, in this era of ours, life is so rich in comforts | that we seldom wonder how folks got along in the || ancient world. And we sometimes forget what an imgg portant role advertising has played in making life g pleasant and altogether livable.
