FRIDAY JANUARY 16 1919
ALL MOUTH AND JAWBONE
“Stroller” White, editor of the
Douglas News and Chief of the Alas
ka Publicity Bureau, does not think
much of the candidacy of the Nebras
ka commoner, judging from the fol
lowing open letter published in the
last issue of his paper:
To William Jennings Bryan:
Did you ever stand on the brink of
a high precipice and look down? Do
you remember when you took your
first ride in an elevator—going down
—and felt that your interior works
were about to desert you by moving
out? Well, that is how the Stroller
felt one day recently when he saw in;
the paper that you, William J., were!
feeing once more groomed for the
presidency of the United States when
archives of the past contain records'
showing three horses on you in that[
same game.
i
There was a time—a period last
ing something like twelve years—
when it was considered the proper
thing for you to be a candidate for
the presidency, but history does not
record that you ever knocked any
persimmons or carried home any
bacon. Belva Lockwood’s was the
only record you ever beat in a pres
idential race, and Belva was past
sixty when she shied her Easter bon
wet into the ring.
As an institution, the Stroller was
always an ardent admirer of Demo
cratic national conventions, but some
how he always sort of lost interest
in them when your candidacy was
being considered. And at that you
always were a good fellow" but, as
the pioneer drummer said to the Ikey
boy who was on the road with sample
trunks for the first time, “You make
too much noise with your mouth al
retty”. Besides, if you are the Dem
ocrat you have ever claimed to be,
why did you always take lemonade
©r grape juice?
However, if you are determined to
run for the presidency, the Stroller
is willing to help you out to this ex
tent: He will give you letters of in
troduction to old-time friends in'
Florida who can guide you to spots
in the Everglades where are to be!
found alligators with jaws four feet
long. Go there and select at least
half a dozen of the big saurians, line
them up in a rov and set their
mouths for game—young razor back
hogs and nigger children. Then pho
tograph them writh their four-foot
jaws wide enon, transfer the picture
to postal cards labeled “My Cam
paign” and scatter the cards broad
cast throughout the country. It will
sawe you lots of travel and the voter
will readily understand when he
s©es that vast array of mouth and j
jawbone.

MARKET CONDITIONS
I
*
Not until Americans as individuals
cut down the present extravagant rate
of consumption and unite to increase
pi'oduction will the existing unstable
market conditions be remedied, the'
National Bank of Commerce in New
"York declares in its Market Letter
in the January issue of its magazine,
Commerce Monthly. It adds that al
though the reaction after the tension
ef war was much less violent in the
United States than in any other com
batant country, after the recovery of
the first few months all that can be
said is that industry has held its own.
“Only by decreased consumption can
a balance be reached at reasonable
prices between supply and demand,”
the bank says. “Thus far there has
Veen very little application of this
principle to individual conduct. Until
such application is made, commercial
activity will inevitably proceed at a
ratio out of proportion to the physical
volume of production, and the pre
sent unstable situation will continue.
"The volume of wholesale and re
•
tail trade, measured in terms of price,
continues at a remarkable level, and
is plainly outstripping production.
Dealers all bear witness to the steady
depletion of stocks, which manufac
turers assert they cannot replace be
cause of shortage of raw materials,
and scarcity and restlessnes of labor.
There is no evidence of genuine econ
omy of consumption or of expansion
of production of manufactured goods
for the retail trade.
“Cotton and wool manufacturers as
measured by consumption of raw ma
terials, have not kept pace with dom
estic and foreign demand. This is as
cribed to the shortening of working
hours, an inadequate’ supply of mach
inery, labor shortage and inclination
on the part of such labor as has been
available to work only part time be
cause of the high wages paid.
"A considerable period will inevi
tably elapse before coal production
approximates the pre-strike level, and
although a fuel famine is no longer
to be feared, careful distribution and
use of available supplies will be neces
esary for some time. The crude pe
troleum output for October was 33,
319,000 barrels, a decrease of 348,000
barrels as compared with September.
Wool consumption for October was
69,000,000 pounds over September.
More wool machinery was reported
active on November 1 than for any
other month since the armistice. Cot
ton consumption for November, ex
clusive of linters, was 490698 running
bales, a decline of 64.646 bales.
“Pig iron production made a re
markable recovery during November
being reported as 2,392,350 gross tons,
a gain of 530,000 tons over October.
The character of the gain is also
significant. 463000 tons representing
increased output from steelmakers’
stacks. Demand for iron and steel
■’•oducts is strong for most classes
with a tendency toward rising pricef.
The chief limit on orders is the un
willingness of producers to accept
them.”
