AUGUST 25, 1920.

OUR INDUSTRIAL FUTURE. Expert figure that the advance In freight rate will add 36o a year or $1 a day to the average coat of living for every family of five in the United States. Witnesses before the Interstate commerce commission have testified that so preat an increase vrlll be prohibitive; thar is. that tho rates will be more than the traffic can bar. One resalt, in that vent. would be that the revenues of the railroads will not be- increased, but decreased. Why? Because Ions hauls, wlüch add enormously to rail revenues, rill have to be abandoned. Fhort haul zones will be rjibüshed. and consumption areas established for them. Then, the "Federal Trade Information Service ays: "Grand Rapid will be nnftble to ship furniture into the south. The south will have to make her own furnitur California will be unable to hlp oranges into New England. New England will have to eat her own apples and be content." And so on. The hauling of cotton 1.000 or 2.000 miles to be made into muslin and other fabrics, and the shipment back of the Roods for rale and consumption miffht cease should the cost of the lonfr hauls make the price of the goods prohibitive. That is to say. raw materials and the factories would have to be brought closer together. What changes tht would raako in industrial conditions is interesting to contemplate. Ulerh frelqht rates alone are not a true solution of the transportation problem. Labor and efficiency ere vital point. Hence the country is about to enter on a test period In which the ability of American families to add a dollar a day to their expenses will be tried out, along with the ability of the railroad system to maintain themselves under private control if forced to operate in short haul zone;. Evidently we are beginning experiments likely to result in fundamental economic changes all over the country, which may or may not work out atisfac-torily.

THAT G. O. P. CAMPAIGN FUND. The attempts of Sen. Warren Gamellal Harding and G. O. P. National Chairman Hays, to answer Gov. Cox, without answering him, in the matter of the latter's charge that "the republicans are to l.ave a campaign fund of $16, 000, 000." merge into just another effort to m'jddy tno water, fool the public and get by under false pretenses. When Fen. Hardin says thet "is" n" fund cf $15.000,000. he answers nothi'.i? elnce it has .evtr boon asserted tha there "is." What Gov. Cox Faid was that "118,OCtt,000 is the minimum of their ambitious plans;" not that it has already been raised. When Chairman Hays eeks to do der tho issue with the assertion that only IS.OC0.000 has been subscribed, he may be telling the truth, but it does not r.nswer the question as to whether $12,000,000 is yet to be subscribed. The republican leaders will not be able to Newberryire the nation, behind a "smoke screen" of that nature, well aa they may think they have the process down fine. Gov. Cox, in his answer to the Harding -Hays evasion, apparently has not forgotten how MaJ. Ger.. Wood, whllo bent on buying the nomination, had the collection and expenditure of his hufre fund so distributed that it was difficult to get together. Newberry's "friends' had their "own funds" too all over the state of Michigan, out th federal court seen-.s to have been able to the satisfaction of 12 men. "to prove a conspiracy; a centralized understandlne:." Indeed, we doubt very much whether they will be able to "cut it," with nil their camoutlace explanations and freaked denials. This is not 1S95. nor even the later campaign days rf 191 during the l?.st two weeks of which it was planned to swamp the country with lips and r-Jvarlcatlcns so plentiful, tha: it would be impossible to ?r..wer them. Str.h r.erd had a :ate of that effert of 1?16. within pre memories; a newspaper half-pape to n ji.ic d.tily. ars.l only that the emergency was met locally, and evt-.v false assertion exposed, saved this cour.;y to democracy -white the re?t cf the state, in the nii'.i. was humbugged ever to ic publica tir.i. No one is poi ;: to be fooled by what the republican r.ar:cr.al c r r.r.ittee says : is ? pending this year ar.y mort than the Michigan prand and petit juries were fooled by what Truman H. Nowberry says he pnt. As (Joy. 'o points cat Chairman Hays has frco.ue:;t!y referred to the manner after which the ration has bee-, dj'ttricted. Well, what are the quotas belonging to ach d.triet. We, in Indiana, know Will Hays. We knew how he spent money in Indiana u.s fctate chairman In by indirection, that was r.ewr arcvjut.l fer. Ar.d he s just "wizardy" er.oush to tr- it nationally. Hov: about this club, and that dub. ar.d the Gcrman - A r..- r ic.i n '.::zrr,s aso;.tl'.-n. for in.-tanee. that urr to ha v.- th'ir nwr. eamp.t;gt; funds U work for the rejiuMiean rational ticket. These are only a

few samples of the "ni.i societies, that the republican organization expects to raise funds througn. and th.n let them s. end it outside the direct activities of the national committee. This process cf expenditure, saturated in crooke-dness, works after the same mar.tur as the limitation of fcubscriptior.s to $1.000. Then some "hi buiresv" man calls in his 13 clerks, and they uddr-nly become rich, and are so enthusiastic for the uci'tss of the republican party, that they Kay; "ro old man, you can't outdo us in liberality." and the 20 put In $1,000 apiece, all his IitOney. Gov. Cox isn't poir.R to wait until the campaign is over and then kick against what he has known to be going on all the while. He is of the cchool that believes an "ounce of prevention Is worth a pound of cure." Sens. Horah and Hi Johnson in their determination to expose and defeat Messrs. Wood fnd Lowden for the nomination, started something that 1? going to haunt them throughout the camraign in their support of Candidate Harding. Oh, but you can bet they are beloved by the "old guard;" the Hayscs, the Fonroses, the Smoots, tin Lodges. Watsons and dupes in their efforts to "restore party government to its proper constitutional functions and re-establish coordination between the executive offices and the senate." eo the senate "oligarchy" can run thlng3 and the country be without any president at all! o BENEFICENT RADIUM. When radium was new, everything; was expected of it. Base metals were to be transmuted by this wonder-metal. It was to be the panacea for malignant disease. Most of these dreams have not been realized, but after a period of disillusionment, radium i really coming into its own. A report of a clinic in a New York hospital shows como (f the things that can be done with It. Most commonly it is used for cancer, of the aecsible sort. There was a farmer from Texas, his fa- swathed in bandages. He had an evil growth that marred his featut es. Within the bandages was a brass tube, enclosing a tiny tub of ,'jlasv filled with radium. $12.000 worth. He was always under guard. The rays from the radium, little by little, were reducing the abnormal tissue. There wan a 10-ycar-old boy of the blunii. with a cancerous growth in his throat. A gold needle, filled with radium and fixed In the throat, was doing its beneficent work. There was a woman of 60 years old, with a lump on her shoulder, much improved from rer.Vated applications. A girl of 18 years old had her throat badly burned in a fire. The skin had tightened so that the could not lift her head. Radium, applied lo that tightened skin, had miraculously softened it. loosened the muscles underneath and stimulated a healthy growth of new tissue, so that she could tilt up her chin. A sturdy'young man back from the war had the whole bide of his face ripped by shrapnel. The doctors had made a new face for him, with grafted skin, but he could not open his mouth. liy direct application of radium the surgeons were able to "weave the skin together and rejoin the face." enabling him to open his mouth naturally. These are typical instances of what is being done in many hospitals of many lands, where a sufrlcient supply of radium can be obtained. The city or Buffalo has Just bought an unusually large quantity, for use in a free clinic, so that no ratient who could be benefited need go without treatment for lack of funds. This is one of the finest philanthropies in which any city or my individual can engage. o Sunday is not a day of rest for undertakers and coror.'-rs. Harvest i. indeed n failure tf it does not yield a crop of hay fever. o Harding "apparently believes the republican platform was made to crawl under instead of to stand on.

D'Annunzio is threatening: to leavf Frame, but there eems to be the same old doubt as to whom he will leave it to. o The .rouble with the boundary lines of Europe 1 that they will not stay put. o

Tin: kcrotk.w rizzu:. (Michigan Kifletor.) The Combatants would exhaust their resources in a. few months und that would end the conflict. That was the general belief when the world war opened. It was an oft-exprrssed opinion that the war would not only speedily bankrupt the nations engaged, but that the armies would be decimated so rapidly that en end would be brought to hostilities because few fighter? would ho left. The error of such forecast jvas Jong since shown. However, it was thought when hostilities in the sriat theaters of war ended that surviving peoples would of necessity turn to reace industries in order to avoid starvation, that there had been to much life and property less that the war-weary nations would revolt at the thought of further martial strife. It was averred that Europe In large part was "bled white." Eong before the war was brought to a close by the armistice we had heard of the destitution that prevailed over a large part of Europe. Russia, both because of her original part in the war and the ravages of the bolsheviks, was supposed to be in an alarming tatc and it certainly has grown worse with tho passing years. Poland suffered repeatedly from the ravapes of conflicting arm'es. Both mipht rave been considered long past the point of rutting effective military forces m the field. The result shows that the basis of reasoning oa which men relied on order to reach a conclusion that i: requires large treasure and abundant stocks of food as well as vast numbers of men In order to carry on Vvar did not take stock of some reserve that apparently has been called to the aid of Russia, roland and others who still persist in seeking to settie deputes by force of arms. Ry some means the Russians are equipped and fd. mysterious ihoc.gh the source Is. Poland may have had help from entente sources, though such .".id has been carefully covered, if given. And these jro not the only "utterly exhausted" nations, though the most notable, that are able to carry on wir ion nfter such a condition seemed impossible. It would seem that it la ncc.sary to revise pre-war conceptions of what is necessary to prosecute military operation?. U would seem that it is possible to carry ;n war after the resources necessary to supi ort a nation in peace are entirely exhausted. How it is accomplished is a puzzle, but we are faced with the fact.

The Tower of Babel

By BILL ARMSTRONG

TTt A X SPLVXTAT I O V. Old James McCall McCann McCue Was faltering of step. His face was sad. his color bad; In short, he'd lost his pep. It looked as if we'd have to buy A wreath for Old Jim's bier; 1 lv neighbors all said James MoCall Was not long for this sphere. But suddenly there came a change: Old Jim regained his holt And blossomed out and stepped about Just like a frisky celt. He bought a lot of college clothes And even learned to shimmy. And where he had been known as "James." He now was known as "Jimmy," The town at up and rubbed its eyea And marvelled at the change; The mystery wa3 certainly Moat won'drous and moat strange. But our wonder soon subsided When Tommy Atkins wrote A story for the paper Sayln? Jim had robbed a goAt. G. M.

ANDY WILSBERG- OWNS THE COPYRIGHT PRIVILEGES ON TICS STORY. A bride and groom had been much troubled by the stares cf people at hotels at which they had stopped. So on arrival at the next hotel the groom called the colored head-waiter. "Now, Georg?," he said, "we have been bothered to death by people staring at us. We want to be free from that sort of thing here. Now, here's two dollars, and remember I trust you not to tell people that we are just married. Understand?" All went well that day. But the following morning when the couple came down to breakfast the staring was worse than ever. Chambermaids In the halls snickered; the clerks behind the desk nude-eri a. h

other; everybody in the dining room !

stared. When tho coupU returned to their room it was only to see a head fticking out of nearly every room down the long hall. This was too much. Angered beyond control, the groom went to the desk and called for the head waiter: "Look here, you old fool." ;-aid the groom, "didn't I givo you two dollars to protect us from this staring business?" "Yas. sah. you did." said George. "Ton ma soul. I didn't tell, sah." "Then how about this staring?" asked the irate groom. "It's worse here than anywhere. Did anybody ask you if wo were married?" "Yes. sah, several folks did," re.

THE rmST PRINTING PRESS. "May I print a kiss on jour lips?" I said. And she nodded her permission: ! So we went to press, and I rather guess. We printed a full edition. J "But one edition is harf.ly enough." fc- said with a charming pout; j o again in the press tho form was placed, j And we got several "extras" out. LOCAL BRIEFS. Mort Reod sent Ye Editor a very ! Inrjlting postal card from Brook- j vale. Col., on which he. writes that i he is about as successful as a fish- (

erman as tne uouax Avenue 'Jito club is in its chosen prcfesslon. Bill Bender is an optimist And strange as it may seem His optimism takes a twist That makes men's face9 beam. The simple faith of Brother Bill. Is that he's always going to fill A middle-open straight. We were riding to work, the guebt of Frank Shumaker of the Bend Electric Company. Frank sez he was going to go fishing lar: night but the wind changed from north to south and he gave up tho idea. We wanted to know which way the wind

should blow to fish and Frank sez

it was either north or south he didn't exactly know which. This information we feel is of extreme importance and we communicate to the traae without extra charge.
