The American people are' alowly learning; that their government se curities are really secure and stable, notwithstanding- the manipulation of speculators. This has been a new experience for the citizens of this country, who, before the great war. put their money in everything except government bonds. While the terrible conflict was upon us, many bought bonds merely" as a patriotic duty, and not a few failed to realize that they were doing anything other than making a con tribution to help the Washington authorities win the war. Because of this misconception, based on ignor ance, thousands of holders dumped their securities on the market when the conflict closed, taking whatever was offered them. The Journal has from time to time strongly advised the holding of all war bonds unless it were absolutely necessary to sell them, and this ad- h vice Is rtill good. Government bonds ' . j are the safest form, of Investment I tor the small money man or woman. it the government falls they may be come worthless but not otherwise.

The opposition of the up state newspapers Is a more definite reflection of the sentiment of the various communities. And it is a far more difficult opposition for the backers of the exposition to counter act. These things should be considered by the committee that is at work on the problem of financing the exposi tion.

It is public recognition by rail road officials that reduced rates produce heavier earnings than rates that serve to drive traffic from the roads. It is admission that the rail roads will do better with decreased rates. It is testimony that a greater volume of business even at reduced cnarges is more aesiraDie from a railroad standpoint than les3 busi ness at higher rates. That is the basis on which the late F. W. Woolworth proceeded. He depended on a tremendous volume of business even at reduced margin' of profit to bring him earnings. He That practice "has always been fraught with potential dangers of great magni tude," the Hartford Courant continues. and political fortune now "changes the potential to the certain," for, the New Haven Journal Courier (Ind.) contends. Mr. McCumber possesses no such knowl edge of the revenue needs of the country St large, and of its separated revenue producing powers, not of the national field of human activity and investment as to warrant his selection If the contest was an open one between men of known fitness," and with the New York Herald (Ind.) and i others, the Journal Courier maintains that the mantle should have fallen upon Senator Smoot as the better' -qualified.

M. upholds dancing in the public schools, and while I war. he denies a defense of the modern dance. yet it is plain the object is to make the public schools sponsor the dance and help to make it respectable. The same threadbare argument was worn to shreds In trying the "uplift" movement in the attempt to save the saloons. How often we heard it said that the way to handle the liquor traffic was to put good men behind the bar and make the saloon respectable, and surround the trafCo with strict regulations In the In terest of decency.

To the Editor of The Journal The conference called by Secre tary of Agriculture Wallace to meet In Washington January 23 will be watched with interest From time Immemorial the farmer has simply been used as bait. Will an attempt be made at this con ference to continue to so use him? Of all the agencies of production the farmer 1-3 the most helpless. He Is made the prey of price gamblers at Chicago, fmoney gamblers in Wall street and of politicians. It has been, and is now, a part of the program of big business, controlling all three of the above com binations, o line up the farmers on the question of labor "deflation." Big business, with the aid of governmental agencies, has "deflated" the farmer fill I of the Perkins. pit the farmer against labor and bring labor to its knees it will have won an other big point in its "deflation" schema It would seem that the farmer has yet to learn that the steady employment of labor at good wages is ne of the main things upon- which his Industry depends. The laborers of the country are the most l'beral buyers of farm products when employed at good wages. The two things most needed by the farmer today are a stabilized price for his product at a figure at which he can be assured of a profit and labor em ployment at good wages. The interests of the farmer and laborer run together instead of apart If the farmers' confer ence at Washington would put the mat ter up to congress of guaranteeing the farmer a price for his wheat meats, cot ton, etc., at such figures that profits would be assured for the next two years, Insist upon the destruction of the gam bling wheat and cotton exchanges at Chi cago and New York, and put a limita tion on the money gamblers of Wall street something might result to the interest of the farmer.
