KVK AND BOOZE.
It is disconcerting to have tho predictions of a few years back go glim
mering one after the other. It was predicted that the beautiful aud valu
able vineyards of California, which produced such wondrous grapes, would j
all be plowed up aud made a heap of ruins if booze went out. but the pro
phets of ill have said little along that line since the vineyards have been
making more money for their owners under prohibition than they did un-1
der booze. And now comes rye. Who ever thought of ry» being used for I
anything but good old Rye. spelled with a capital. Surely no one means to
tell us that the cultivation of rye grain in thi3 country is on the increase?
But that is exactly what we are being told. The rye crop this year exceeds
that of last year by one-fifth. And it has increased from thirty-five million
bushels ten years ago to eighty million bushels of threashed rye this year,
^et some will not be satisfied even with this showing because it means good I
wholesome bread for some children who never had it in the old days.
BUSINESS CONDITION'S
Although no definite progress has been made toward the official settle
ment of the railroad strike during the current week, conditions have ma
terially Improved. Railroad operating forces are much nearer a basis of ef
t cieucy than for a good while past both in numbers and ip working capaci
ty. Anthracite coal discussions are still in progress with fair prospects of
settlement of pending issues and the rate of production of Dltumiuous coai
is satisfactory, if the railroads are able to operate steadily from now on
there should be no serious coal shortage during the comiiifc winter. All this
is favorable ^nd lays the foundation for a lielief that the railroad strike it
s'If will soon be disposed of.—Henry Cle
A LABOR TARIFF
The real reason for tte increase of 20 per cent, in the wages paid la
bor in the steel industry 1s that not enough labor at the old wage can be se
cured to do the work. It is merely another illustration of the law of sup
ply and demand. And one of the prime reasons for the shortage is the im
migration la» passed and approved by President Harding soon after he en
tered the White House. The supply of unskilled labor from Europe has heen
greats cut down as a result of that lavr, and the wage earners in this coun
try are benefiting thereby. Protection of American labor from European
competition was one of the chief arguments advanced in favor of the immi
gration law. and now we see how it has worked out. Precisely the same
principle is contained In the protective tariff bill, passed by the Republicans
of the Senate and House and now iu conference. Curtail the influx of for
»<gn workingmeu. and the wages of our own laborers remain high; curtail
the importation of the products of that cheap foreign labor and the prices
if our domestic products maintain their level, to be passed on in good wag
es to the artisaus in our factories.—Selected.
BRITAIN EXCLUDES RADIO
The British postmaster general has recommended that American and
other foreign radio apparatus be excluded from Oreat Britaiu. The radio
industry is iu its infancy in England and officials see the necessity for its
protection from imports of the highly developed product iu the United
States Nobody can find fault with such a policy. It is precisely the sort ot
protection to American industries that the Republicans of Congress have
written Into the tariff bill that will soon become a law. The bill is not an
embargo, but it will sufficiently control foreign importations so that our
own industries will not suffer from cheap foreign competition.—Selected.
WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
The public has been puzzled to know why the apparently unimportant
question of seniority should justify the continued idleness of thousands of
men upon the one side and the very serious public menace of a discontinu
ance of railway transportation upon the other; why it is that trains should
be dynamited In New Jersey and abandoned in Arizona; why workmen
should be assaulted here and murdered there, when only the question o:
precedence in promotion was Involved.
Mi L. E. Sheppard, president of the Order of Railroad Conductors, ful
ly (explains the issue. In reply to an Inquiry as to the attitude of President
warding. Mr. Sheppard says:
"Oh. no! . ue President has been fair and lias been of help in the sit
uation in every way possible. What we now hope for is the getting of help
from some railway executives not so tenacious as others to see that it is the
fundamental right of men to strike that is involved, rather than seniority.
"The Railroad Labor Board says that men on strike no longer are era
plo>'es. We hold, and many good lawyers hold with us that men do not for
feit their rights when they go on a legal strike."
Thus the bluff of the strikers is unmasked. The real issue Is the right
to strike without suffering any of the penalties which naturally follow. Em
ployers may lake their Injury without redress. The public may pay its pen
alty of suffering and loss, but he who causes the loss of alj parties insist!1
that he alone shall escape the penalty of his own act. The doctrine of the
right to strike has been urged so long and so vociferously and by those who
have confused the issue with the right to quit work that it is but natural
that escape from all penalties should now be urged. The fact is that the
right of a number of workmen to quit by mutual agreement for the pur
■<
pose of coercion 1b a conspiracy and not a right and the issue of priority Is
being mudo to further entrench those who claim as a right what is in fact a
:ouspiracy.—From the Mining Congress Journal.
Hl'GHKS' MISSION IX) SOUTH AMERICA
It will be South America's own fault if that continent does not profit
hugely by the visit of Secretary of State Hughes and his fellow com
missioners to the Brazilian Ceutennial Exposition.
The mission which President Harding will send to Rio Janeiro is the
most outstanding formal official party which has ever represented our gov
ernment in any undertaking to strengthen the bonds between the United
States and the South American republics. Mr. Hughes, who set the world
tinging with his praises because of achievements at the greitt arms confer
ence in Washington last winter, and the succeeding statesmanlike work di
rected by him in international affairs, will meet Brazilians and their neigh
bors with earnest desire to advance the welfare of all the Western world. It
will be an exceptional opportunity for South American statesmanship to rise
to its highest peak of effort and accomplishment in making the most of the
Hughes' party's presence there.
News from that region indicates that the republics of South America
are conscious of the good fortune In Btore for tnem. Already one enthusi
astic I'ruguay political leader has suggested an association of all republics
of tiiis hemisphere, with the United States heading it. What is really need
ed. however, is understanding and unity of purpose by all. Everything else
that can aid these nations will then be readily obtained. A formal, binding
association would be a source of more harm than good. The United States
can never limit its right to follow its own judgment and conscience in deal
ing with affairs on this hemisphere.—St. Louis Times.
WHY THE ri'IJLIC KEEPS CALM
A foreigner not familiar with the United States and sent here to report
on the effect of the strikes would find one thing highly puzzling to him. He
would discover In official circles at Washington a great deal of anxiety. The
administration and Congress are naturally much concerned. Yet in general
the people, he would note with surprise, display very little excitement and
almost no apprehension. In a few of the Northwestern States, It is true, the
public is clamoring that something be done to insure an early supply of coal
i-ut the rest of the country seems to be Indifferent, or at least sublimely
confident that everything will be settled In due time.
There may be in this an element of unreasoning optimism—the kind
which John Morlev described as insisting that it was fine weather, although
it was raining cats and dogs. The hopefulness of the people may also be a
reflex of the old American belief in our lucky star. We feel that we have
always managed to get through our labor crisis in the past, and that, some
how, we shall be able to emerge happily from this one. It is the complacent
theory, so comfortable but which may not always be Justified, that Provi
dence especially looks after idiots, drunken men and the United States. But
the present calm and confidence of the public are not merely instinctive and
traditional. If our foreign inquirer were to search for the true explanation
of the seeming conflict between the official view and private opinion in Am
erica, he would learn that the mass of the people can give reasons for the
faith that Is in them.
They believe, first of all. In their government. With all Its defects and
weaknesses, it can be counted upon to rise to the needs of a national emer
gency.—New York Times.

Paris, Sept. 2.—France nan taken

?ames. Now that she has them, wba
Is she going to do with them?

A member of the Fronch Olympic
Games Committee was interviewed
on these subjects by the morning
newspaper Excelsior the very day
that the law grunting the credits for
tite games was promulgated.
"How is France going to put it
over?' was the substance of the ques

was loss than $800,000. with an ad
ditional $400,000, guarteed If the
gate receipts failed to reimburse the
Racing Club for that sum advanced.
"We are going to work/' was the
reply of the committee member.
"First we must find offices of our
own which will not be too costly
Then we must choose our adminis

it will not have to be too large.
"The Racing Club has granted the
use of its stadium. We have no fear
that entrance receipts will not cover

after the war the receipts equalled
a million and a half franca, and
there were only seventeen nations
in the games. In Paris, with forty
