Whether or not we like Presi
dent Roosevelt, all will have to
actmi,t that when he is around
there is something going on. Hav
ing returned to his Washington
desk, he puts a quietus on the
statement that the United States
and England are in cahoots about
what should be done in the Far
East. He has given assurance that
the American delegate to the con
ference in which the matter will
be discussed, will attend the meet
ing bound by promises to nobody.
Viewed from either the Republi
can or the Democratic standpoint,
there is satisfaction in the assur
ance that the American tub will
stand on its own bottom.
Former Governor Landon, tem
porarily forgotten amid , all the
things that have happened since
he made a bid for the White
House chair but still capable of
vigorous utterane, thinks that
too muh power is being vested
in one man and would know de
finitely how far the President
intends to go in that diretion, es
peially as to international policy.
To Mr. Landon the statement
that America cannot escape peace
fully when the rest of the world
is at war, sounds like the talk of
1917, which resulted in long lin
es of American soldier’s graves,
coupled with all that goes with
them.
So it appears on the one hand
that we are just going to talk
things over regarding the Chinese
-Japanese trouble, and upon the
other that we are drifting to
ward another world war. Recall
your politics, pick your man and
select his w'ords at the starting
point of a red hot discussion at
the store or on the street corner;
and in the meantime events will
move along, governed by some
thing not clearly understood but
apparently beyond the reach of
debaters and those who set them
busy.
These are the days that re
mind one that trouble lurks ar
ound every corner. Perhaps all

days are of that sort. Someone

ship into New Yok harbor, con
trary Jo the statute in such case
made and provided and the offi
cials loft five good hundred dol

ton was hit twice by autos at
the same street intersection and
made thence two ambulance trips
to the hospital within the space
of one hour. In eastern Pennsyl
vania, Mr. Dill and Mr. Pickle
got into difficult because they
tried to make two autos occupy
the same space at the same time,
which cannot be done, even in
Pennsylvania. All in all it might
have been worse, but it is to be
observed that in instances of the
I kind, under discussion, it is the
'reader and not the participant
who has the laugh. The officers of
the Queen Mary saw nothing fun
ny about the floating trash, Mr.
Scott ached quite as much as
though he had been knocked
down at places mlies apart and
Dill and Pickle found nothing but
work, worry and expense in their

The average man may be regard
ed as keeping his surplus in the
old time sock, or in the savings
bank, yet the fact that the pap
ers devote two or three pages
daily to the stock market, leads
to the conclusion that there are
many who do not operate within
the area that is assigned to the
average. During the past few days
the stock market has taken a
tumble that reminds one of the
old depression days. The causes
of a stock slump cannot be ex
plained with any degree of cer
tainty. Primarily they arise be
cause of too much selling, and
people sell either because they
need the money or are afraid
that something is going to happen,
most frequently from fear. The
fear may be underground, but
the fact remains that it exists. If
there is no ground for fear, it
can be allayed with reasonable
promptness. Hard times in Wall
Street by no means are coupled
absolutely with hard times ev
erywhere else, but there is a j
connection between the two, real
or believed to exist, cannot bei
denied. Even those whose capi
tal is in their trousers pocket
will be inclined to kepe it there
while Wall Street is on the ram
page. The effect of a stock drop
is far reaching. Persons who
know little or nothing about the
stock market will be freer spend
ers when stock conditions get
back to normal. More is involv
ed than quieting the tumult and
making easy going for the specu
lator.
