FEW ARTICLES DROPPING, SAY BUSINESS MEN Declines Apply Chiefly to Exportables Affected by Money Prices. AMERICAN DOLLAR TOP Living costa as applied to certain commodities which enjoy heavy export sale Lave declined somewhat, and, according to the views of local wholesalers and business men expressed today, may drop fractionally lower, according to the Individual distribution and demand for the commodity. Generally, they say there has been no lowering in prices of essentials and no decided drop Is locked for until normal production Is again established. The sudden slump In the value ot foreign exchange was bailed-by many as heralding an era of lower prices. Business men do not agree on this. They say that a drop in exchange will tend to curb speculation and may temporarily throw certain articles sensitive to export demand on the market for domestic consumption, but with an abnormal demand now for nearly every commodity this surplus would be soon absorbed la the ordinary channels of home consumption. The supremacy of the Ameri-Tan dollar Se most clearly shown by a comparison of the present value of the moneys of the principal countries of the world with their pre-par values at par. ATT. FOREIGN EXCHANGE VERY LOW. An Italian lira is worth normally at par 19.3 cents. Today It Is worth 6.7 cents, This is a decline of 13.6 cents or 71 per cent. The French franc Is worth 19.3 cents at par, the same as the lirß of Italy. Now It Is selling at 7.06 cents or a loss of 12.21 cents. This represented a decline of 63 per cent. The German mark was worth 23.8 cents at Its par value. Now marks are quoted at 1.05 cents, a loss of 22.75 cents or a decline of 95 per cent. The English pound has not had such a radical decline, but Its loss has been severely felt in American markets, by reason of the huge volume of trade the United Stales enjoys with the British Isles. The pound at par is worth $1,866. Now it Is worth $3.65. This shows a loss of $1.21 or 25 per cent. With this sensat!#ial drop in the value of European moneys in the United States, business men say It is easy to realize that foreign markets are going to restrict their purchases In this country to bare necessities. Europe Is vitally In need, however, of so many things which only America can furnish that conservative opinion looks for no contraction of American industry and a rational gradual readjustment of the exchange situation on a basis of International profit and good will. SPECULATOR WORST HIT BY EXCHANGE. “The speculator who buys large lots on borrowed capital Is the party to feel worst the sudden drop in exchange, but this will have no effect on the general staples grocers carry,” declared a prominent wholesale grocer who requested that his name be withheld. "In all lines of merchandise," he explained, “there has been some unnatural price levels due to speculation on anticipation of export demands. Those Items will seek a lower level, but only to the extent they will soon disappear In consumption. because the slackness of production of practically all essentials. With the*' resumption of production to a normal level the Irrefutable law of supply and demand will automatically regulate prices.” •'This country is not on a self-sustain-ing basis now," he declared. Talk of lower prices is pure folly. Marufactur-. ers are swamped with orders. Labor is getting the highest wages It ba* ever enjoyed. How can a bear story stand up under these facts?” He concluded by saying that every logical Indication points toward a bigger and better business for everybody and that the sensible thjng for everybody, manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer and customer Is to keep both feet on the ground, stop indulging In day dreams ar.d live a conservative life. Dick Miller, president of the City Trust Company, says that an era of speculation and Inflation has been responsible for much of the high prices and looks for the natural reaction following such a period to gradually get prices back to a normal level. “We' have got to stop this undue and foolish practice of speculation,” Mr. Miller said. "The hostile attitude of the federal reserve board toward speculation* Is primarily taken with the hone of discouraging long lines of speculative credit. To this end It has recently raised its rediscount rate and In Its latest recommendation to congress declared that must be put under effective control and expansion checked.” This Is a wise piece of constructive work, Mr. Miller thinks. “It will do a lot," be declared, toward curbing the activities of speculators who rre in no way producers and are a deed weight to our national economic life. The mr- --< bant who keeps In the middle of the road and sits steady has nothing to fear. The ,fool who loses his head as ever v petty condition arises that sways markets up or down Is the fellow who Is steering himself Into a mess of trouble.” Walter EKtz. member of the firm of George Hltz & Cos., commission merchants. thinks congested traffic conditions and higher labor costs are responsible for a large part of the present coat of things. "I welcome the return of the railroads to their owners,” Mr. Hltz said “The government did all lit could, no doubt, but It takes railroad men to rnn railroads. Everywhere there has been congestion. Congestion In handling perishable foodstuffs means only one thing—that Is loss.

TRANSPORTATION PROVES • - FORMPBABEE ITEM. “When you stop to consider that California and southern shipments are the bulk of the commission man's stock this matter of efficient transportation resolves Itself Into a big Item,” Mr. Hitz explained. Higher labor costs all along the line foir everybody that touches a crate of produce or fruilt is another item that must be eventually tacked on to the consumer's bill, according to Mr. Hit*. He thinks that this matter will eventuHy be settled and that radical demands of labor will be stopped In the ranks of labor Itself before It has gotten headway. “There Is another item,’* Mr. Hltz added, “shat we must take Into consideration and that Is the people themselves. They have been willing to buy anything tliHr fancy dictated at any price. In fact price has been no consideration This creates a demand for the luxuries while the staples are neglected. It isn’t right and it isn't a hftilthy condition for a commission man or store keeper to face. I think the worst is over, though, and that this year will see a calmer sentiment prevailing In all markets, with a lot of speculation eliminated and prices, I hope, slightly lower, although to predict a drop ip the face of the present disturbed conditions Is pure folly.” Lallan—Murine for Re<> ness, Soreness, Grant*

Pope Wards Off Flu by Brisk Daily Walk in Vatican Gardens

ROME, March 6.—Brisk daily walks In the sunshine in the beautiful Vatican gardens proved a successful Influenza preventive for Pope Benedict XV, although the papal physician has advised medicinal measures instead. During the Influenza epidemic, which la now virtually at an end, the disease spread to the Vatican and several prelates of the papal court had to take to their beds. Members of the famous Swiss guards and the gendarmerie were also stricken. After

Love, Then Grief, of Marshalls For Adopted Son Grips Hearts Morrison Marshall Is laid to rest, but the story of Morrison Marshall and of thft Vice President and Mrs. Marshall lives on in Washington and grows more beautiful as it lives. Child —not of his blood, but of his heart —child in whom was Bpelled much of that which remained in life for Thomas Riley Marshall, Morrison Marshall is mourned still by official Washington.

Other children have gone, cbildreu with a higher station in this life and children with Just as beautiful a story to be told, but from the messages which have poured Into Washington from every state In the country and almost from every people In the civilized world, It has become evident that It was the story of the love for a child which has brought grief to the world when its death came. And as the story Is being retold, the admiration for the Tice president and Mrs. Marshall grows also. Days are being recalled when the vice president abandoned even what might be said a pretense at official dignity and romped to his heart’s content on the capltol lawns. Days are being recalled when the stately lobbies and halls of the national capltol resounded with the laughter of the vice president. Days are being recalled when official and unofficial Washington hesitated in Its busy career to watch and be witness and love also, because the love of a man for a child and a child for a man generated through all hearts that spirit of which the world Is *o much In need. Born of poor parents, his father a Janitor and his mother a former chambermaid, with nine other children demanding assistance from the sorely pressed father and mother, but born with every claim to the finest kind of blood. Morrison Marshall was a sickly child from birth. Forced to work to support her brood, the mother of the then Clarence Ignatius Morrison took him to a public liet kitchen In Washington and asked that he'be assisted to live. BECOMES pride OF WASHINGTON. It was there that Mrs. Marshall found him. She was doing war work and her attention was attracted by this 10 months old child who showed by his anaemic condition that he had little hope for life. He won her aud he grasped her heartstrings so tightly she deter mined he would have life if she could assist him to It. -• The story has been told of how she took him to her hotel, how she nursed Jiim and petted him. how she engaged the best physicians and the best nurses and bow to attention.she or others could give was denied him. On this affection he gradually gained strength until, at 3 years, he was the pride of the Marshalls and the pride of official Wash ington. n cutly-hnired boy of strong anti straight limbs. BEST OF CARE PROVES FI TILE. There he remained until two days before his deafh when his nurse discovered symptoms of the dangerous acidosis. Mrs. Marshall was in New York and the rice president on a speaking tour. Both returned home immediately nnd both re mained night aid day and hoped and prayed beside-the bed of the child who laughed with them and called for them and called also for his real father aid mother. The best physicians were there, the best nurses were there, the best of attention was there, but it was futile. But this Is not the story that has won the world. It is rather the story told in the prayer offered in the senate —that the vice president and Mrs. Marshall had been giving a living example of a man and woman who accepted and heeded the advice of the Savior and That they hud “taken a child and had endeavored to become as a child."

the death of Cardinal Rinaldlnl, the papal physician strongly advised Pope Benedict XV to take a complete rest and suspend all audiences as the pontiff began to suffer from slight chills aud it was feared the chills wmuld lead to iufluenza. But the pontiff refused, saying that he was too busy to change his program. He consented, however, to lengthen his dally sunshine walks in the Vatican gardens, which he considers the best means of warding off sickness.

EDWARDS’ NAME ON; ‘FRAME-UP’ (Continued From Page One.) ehall s desire to have the Indiana delegates pledged to him. and that In event such a condition should arise as a result of a primary contest. Mr. Marshall could, and doubtless would, release the delegates. With this understanding, the supporters of Mr. McAdoo agreed not to file the McAdoo petition and urged the Marshall supporters to file the Marshall petition, thereby insuring that Edwards would have a contest In event the petition to place his name on the ballot was not withdrawn. Assurances were given at the secretary of state's office that the petitions could be withdrawn any time prior to twenty-five days before the primary. Immediately after tho close of the office a telegram was dispatched to Gov. Edwards advising him of the petition filed In bis behalf aud asking him to make a statement as to whether or not It was authorized by him and as to whether he would withdraw it and permit the Indiana delegation to go to the San Francisco convention unpledged. Three methods of avoiding a pledged delegation from Indiana In spite of what democrats generally regard as the unwarranted interference of the Edwards petitioners have been suggested. They are: 1. Legal procedure to test the validity of a petition which Is not authorized by the person In whose behalf. it is drawn or filed by an authorized representative of the principal. t. A request on Gov. Edwards that he withdraw Ills name throngh agreement with the Marshall supporters that the name of Mr. Marshall will likewise be withdrawn. 3. Support at the primaries of Mr. Marshall with the understanding that Mr. Marshall will release the delegates after they are pledged to him as a result of the primary vote. There seems to be no question w-hat-ever but what Edwards wTI: suffer a stinging rebuke at the hands of Indiana voters If he permits an unauthorized movement of this kind to carry his name before the voters, and It has been suggested that an alliance between the McAdoo supporters and the Marshall supporters for the purpose of defeating what is generally regarded o 'Tepub liean Interference” may resulr in unanl toons support of Marshall In tho primary, always with the understanding that Mr. Marshall will release the delegates who might be so pledged to him.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, MARCH 6, ‘1920,

RISK PRESENTS HIS PLATFORM FOR CAMPAIGN Suggests Amendment of State Tax Law Budget System and National Road Building. James K. Risk, democratic candidate for the nomination for governor, has announced the platform on which he expects to make his race for the nomination. Mr. Risk is the first of the candidates for the nomination in either party to publicly declare the basis on which he is seeking the His statement is as follows: “To the voters of the state of Indiana, and in this I include the women of Indiana, as I am sure they will soon be voters: “A few days ago I announced my candidacy for the democratic nomination for governor of Indiana, and suggested that I would, in a few days, present to the voters of the state my position on some of the Important questions that I think should be considered and which I think the voters of the state are interested In. “There has been much said In recent months on the question of free speech and free press and, as the primary campaign progresses, I purpose to discuss methods affecting the management of the democratic party in the state of Indiana and will try to point out to the democratic voters what I believe to be the cause of paffty indifference and I hope to be able to offer a remedy. “Therefore, I believe tho following statement, taken from a speech delivered by W. J. Bryan, before the constitutional convention of Nebraska, Jan. 12, 1920, entitled, 'Free Speech and Free Press.” fully expresses the views of every red-blooded American and. in offering same I desire to say that 1 approve the statement and believe that it. constitutes clearly the correct Idea of American liberty. “ ‘The times require that we make a discrimination regarding freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Wa should protect every individual In the exercise of freedom of speech and freedom of the press In the discussion of the acts of any official, In the criticism of any public servant, and In the advocacy of any change he may desire made In form or methods or details of government, so long as this Is to be secured by constitutional moans. There the line should be drawn. Any man who attempts to use freedom of speech or freedom of the press to advocate the overthrow of this government by force or violence should be sent to the penitentiary or out of the country. Those who advise force should be put in the same- class with those who employ force. The man who advises another to use the torch or bomb Is no better than the man who uses them. This distinction should he very clearly drawn so that we may sacredly protect the rights that are necessary to popular government, as free speech and a free press are. and exclude the abuses that have no place In a government like our*. MAKE ENGLISH LANGI AGE OF THE EXITED STATES. “‘ln this connection I may add that I think the time has come to make the English language the language of the United States, These who come to this country to live here and share Us blessings should understand our language, not only for their good, but for our safety. If we are to submit great causes tt> the conscience of our people we must have a language in which lo submit them. The man who does not understand the language of the people among whom he live;, the language that our government use* in Its documents, and the language of the press. It not In a position to understand as he should the questions upon wttleh be is called to act.’ "1 think It will be neeessarv for ti to try tp reach an understanding, very early in the primary campaign, a* to who and what constitutes the democratic party In the state of Indiana. I do not lodleve a small group of men or a demo- 1 cratlc state committee constitutes the democratic party. •‘I do not believe that the democratic slate and county organization have any light to attempt 1a any way to select the candidates. I believe It Is the duty of the state chairman, district committeemen. county chairman and precinct committeemen to not only pledge a square deal for every candidate, but to Insist that every candidate shall have ,i square deal, and that every vote cast shall bo counted as It Is cast. “I will discuss this question more fully as the primary campaign proceeds. “I desire to suggest, at least, two new questions that 1 believe should go Into the democratic national platform. In addition to the whole hearted Indorsement of the Wilson administration. “I believe that the United States army should be placed In direct charge and (Continued on Page Four.)

PORTUGAL TORN BY WIDE STRIFE Street Fights Rage in Capital —Troop Train Bombed.
