MONDAY,
The Price
"NTO Jiowspauer or otlicr
plain to its own satisfaction or that of anybody,
just what caused the January rise in the price of wheat
to above $2 a bushel, or its sensational drop ot uu cents a
bushel last mouth. Everybody discusses the question,
but the discussion is all either interrogative or specu
lative. Out of the efforts at fact-finding in the matter,
these points have been adduced with apparent sound
foundations:
The world stock of last year's w.hcat was greater
last winter, when the sensational rise in the price be
gan, than prevyjus estimates had indicated.
This 'stock will, nevertheless, have been reduced to
50,000,000 bushels, or about half of the normal carry
over, by the timo harvesting of this year's wheat starts.
United States wheat acreage will bo larger this
year than ever before.
The second in this set-out of facts is regarded as an
indication favorable to a good price for wheat this year,
at the opening of the market following harvest. With
only half the normal carry-over, the law of supply and
demand undoubtedly will work for a higher than usual
opening price, unless other factors interveno to offset
this circumstance. The fact of a larger acreago than
ever before may prove to be such a factor.
Some eastern newspapers call attention to the fact
that when wheat was making its spectacular climb to
more than $2 a bushel last winter, there was no call in
any quarter for an investigation, but that now there is
strident demand for an investigation of the heavy fall
in the price. "Wheat occupies a directly opposite position
in this regard from that of other commodities.' "When
coal or petroleum or gasoline or sugar is advancing
heavily in price there is always clamor for a government
inquiry into the apparent manipulations, "yiien these
commodities are on tho down grado in prico thero is
never such demand.' In this tho eastern writers think
they seo plain evidonco of public sentiment in sym
pathy with the fanner and which wants him to have
good or even high prices.
Tho federal department of agriculturo says it lias
found no cvidenco of manipulation to account for the
recent gyrations of tho price of wheat. So with all the
speculation regarding it, there seems littlo prospect
that wo shall learn just what has mado wheat's price
soar and fall this past season. ,
The Employment Bureau.
THE reasons givon in support of a roqucst that city
support of tho local labor employment bureau be
. continued, as sot out in a statement signed by a num
ber of prominent business men and published in The
Gunrd last Saturday, aro potent ones. From tho state
ment it appears that tho employment office is fulfilling
a real dcnyind to employers and workmen alike. With
drawal of city support is likely to lead to the closing
of tho bureau, according to thoso who have informed
themselves on tho matter.
Tho employment bureau, it appears, is more to the
city than a public convenienco for employers and work
men. It is, on tho showing' made, a business asset. No
; other one class of wageworkors spend so much hero
as tho lumber and logging workers, " They gather here
becnv.so this is tho clearing house, for their employment.
If the employment bureau bo closed they will gather
. ! elsewhere.
On tho showing mado in tho statement of these
liusiness men it, would seen; worth whilo for tho city
1o try to find a way to continuo the small appropriation
for tho employment bureau that it has been making,
. and doubtless tho effort will bo made.
Tho Salem Capital Journal comments on the fact
that of 17 measures passed by tho recent legislature
under emergency clause, tho very great majority were
in no sense emergency measures. Abuso of tho emer
gency clause by law-making bodies of all classes and
overywhero has been general for years past, but seems
1o ' i increasing. State legislatures and city councils
llikewiso are guilty. "For tho immediate preservation
of the publio peace, health or safety" has been mado to
tako.in a very great lot of territory.

ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE GETS BUSY
Effort In Maklnn to Brlnq Prohibition Enforcement to Front In
Next Campaign as Issue
. By HARRY B. HUNT
(NEA Service Writer)
WASHINGTON, April C-
-The
Anli-Sslonn League of America,
having written the eighteenth amend
ment into the constitution, but finding
its enforcement to date to have been
both half-hearted and Inefficient, is
reputed "to bo getting "all set" to
make prohibition enforcement the de
ciding factor in the nomination, and
election of the next president.
Leading the list of presidential eli-
glbles, uuder the league specifica
tions, is said to be Senator Frank 13.
Willis of Ohio.
Willis has been suspoctcd, for the
past eight years of harboring a presi
dential bee. A regular among regulars
on all republican economic issues,
Willis steps out of the ranks when it
comes to the matter of prohibition
and displays n dry insurgency that not
even Morris Sbeppard, who Introduc
ed the amendment, can surpass.
Willis and the Anti-Saloon League
sort of grew up together. His old
home at Ada, O., is not far from
Wcsterville, the birthplace and still
the headquarters ot the league. Willis
fought the league's fight in his early
political battles in Ohio, and it was in
no small part league support that sent
him to congress, made him governor
of his state, and finally a senator.
Willis will put in the next several
months, while congress Is adjourned,
lecturing and speech making through
out the country, lie is a speaker who
fills both eye and car. Dig, handsome,
forceful and with a voice that needs
no mlcrophono to relay it to the far
thest corner of a Chautauqua grove.
Willis is expected by his league ad
herents to scatter war and wide tho
seeds of a pcrsonnl popularity that
will produce a crop of hardy pro

would be to see that tbe liquor lid

One of the chief handicaps to en
forcement from the league's view
point it that it is handled by a subor
dinate buresu of ft department that
nuiRt ook after a lot of other things
besidea prohibition.
The grooming of Willis for pos
siblo entry in the 1928 contest is of
particular Interest because it brings
a second Ohioan into the field of like-'
ly contenders for the O. O. P. nomi
nation that year. And oddly enough
Willis' Buckeye rival for U. O. P. fa
vor is expected to be none other than
the debonalre, bald-headed, genial
Nicholas Long-worth, political protege
of wet Cincinnati, recently chosen ns
speaker-to-be of the next congress.
Promotion to the speakership is
understood to have inocculated Long
worth with an active case of presi
dential Itch, which equals in virulence,
if not in vocal volume, that of his fel
low statesman. So for Longworth Is
soft-pedaling mention of 1028. Willis,
too, for that matter, will disclaim any
open activity to Inflence the result of
that (till distant day.
But j a unmistakable light gleams
In the eyes of each of them when
1028 is mentioned. Real Buck-eyes!
Plans for 1028, however, whether
by individuals or organizations, sec,m
premature.
It President Coolldge makes good
and desires a second term in his own
name, his party probably will hand
him the nomination. That's a party
tradition that would be hard to vio
late without repudiating his admin
istration. And the next three years may so
solve the prohibition enforcement
problem lhat.4 presidential campaign
on a straight wet-and-dry issue may
not seem necessary even to the most
ardent enforcement advocate.

Col. Harbaugh Moved
Too Much, He Says
Interesting Sketch of Eugene
Juvenile Officer Given ,
(C, M. Hyskell in Portland Telegram)
KUGENK, Ore., April 2.-In every
western community that has grown
into a city there have been impa
tient, forward looking men who mov
ed too soon, seeking greener pastures
over beyond the hill. They were the
rolling atones that gathered no moss.
"I was a rolling stone," said Colonel
J. J. Harbaugh, who for 14 years
has been juvenile officer aud con
stable in this town. "I had ninny big
opportunities but I always moved
too soon.'
lie was horn in Washington coun
ty, Iowa, 78 years ago. Hisj father
settled there in an early day, the
fall of Buchanan's election to the
presidency. lie was route agent of
the Itock Island railroad when it was
built across tbe Mississippi river and
out to Sigourney. Many times ho hns
defeated the plans of fortune to make
him a miluonarre.
When ho was a lad he had a pair
of bronchos and his father traded
them to one Horton for 100 acres of
laud embracing the present city of
Lincoln. Nebraska. The land fell to
young Harbaugh and he sold it to An
derson Miller for $200 and invested
the money in four acres of land back
in Washington county, Iowa. 'Hnd I
kept the ltX) acres I might have own
ed IJucoln. Neb.," said the colonel
plaintively. i
He went to the Black Hill with j
the gold rush. I'p in the northwest !
corner of Nebraska he was in the ;
cattle business when old Chief Sitting
Bull and the Sioux were rampant. The j
land was worth little then but was a ;
great stock couutry. South Dakota ;
was opened to settlers at a time ;
when corn would not bring tbe freight )
to tbe Omaha market. They burned it ,
n prairie homes instead of coal. One '
could lease a quarter section by pay
ing the annual tax of about $-. or
buy the choice qunrtpr sections with
a box house for $100. But the colonel ;
didn't buy.
lie went next to Knid. Okla.. with
the land rii'h to that country. 40
years ago, bought a quarter section .
for $."0O. farmed it three years and
mid it for $.000. "That w.is one
time T made a few dollars." he says,
"but if I had stayed awhile I could
have got three times that aim-nut."
Thon he went to Old Mxirn. but

early day. and came to tho North Pa

He was married 52 years ago to
a daughter of the pioneer family of

they hsve reared a daughter and two

somewhat unusual way two years ago
on the occasion of the golden wedding

closed in observance of the day.
The colonel had baked a cake and

MEDITATION While it is trui
that wo enn each one decide for hiffl.
self the way he will go in life, it j,
just ns true that having decided on
a course of action we must accept
the results which mark the end of
that course. There is moral authorii.
in the world nnd the end of tbe jour
ney is marked from the begiuniot
Jesus did not make the punishment ol
evil, he simply stated what that pun
ishment if. His Father's house km
a house of prayer and men had mad,
it an evil place. He did not temporii,
or seek to persuade but drove the evil
doers frpm the temple that good mm'
might come and worship. Thus
must cleanse our lives. We cannot
keep evil thoughts and holy ambition,
in the same heart. Let us cleanse thi
temple of the Holy Spirit!
I'HAYKU Almighty Uod our F.

panions of thy spirit. Let us feel de
pendence upon thy word. May thy au
