It is all right to organize labor, and it is all right for organized la bor to lay down a job; but it is never right for organize'd labor to inter fere with others who would take up that job. ? * * * The management of the Waldorf Astoria hotel has entered into a con tract to pay its chef $500,000 $50,000 a year for ten years. That's a "big price but it is at the same time a big advertisement for the hotel. While the courts of the South are --engage d largely in the trial . of murder cases, the courts of the courts of the North are occupied with disgraceful divorce suits. After all, it's only a case of the pot call ing the kettle black. 1 * * * * It is being said that the immor ality of Paris will cause that once fair city to meet the fate of Rome.

We would need public roads five hundred feet wide, and then some more width tacked on be sides. Let the man who has the temerity to raise his voice against prohibition forever hold his peace. Like oil and water, whiskey and gasoline will not mix, so the good Lord wiped out most of the li quor "before He permitted the use of automobiles to become so general.. Better get that Fordson tractor at once to harvest your grain with. YONCJS & MOONEY. Would Fix Rate of Interest. While Senator Smith-"Cotton" Smith, we mean-is not in the lime light as much as some of the more noisy fellows, yet he does not fail to score occasionally in a way that contributes to the welfare of the masses. The interests of the classes generally- take care of themselves, especially is this true in national legislation. Senator Smith, seeing what havoc has been wrought by the steady in crease in the interest rate charged by the regional reserve banks, has introduced a bill fixing the rate by enactment, rather than leave so important a matter to the whims of one man or a few men. If the re gional reserve banks were establish ed to stabilize the finances of the country, or serve as a sort of bal ance wheel to prejerve the financial equilibriumNof the country, we see no reason why the rate of interest should not be fixed, and not be sub ject to as sudden (and unwarrant ed) fluctuation as the cotton mar ket. Senator Smith favors fixing a rate of not exceeding five per cent. While we are not a financier, nor the son of a financier, yet we venture .the assertion that had such a rate been "maintained by Governor Hard ing4 during the past eight months, this country-we mean, the people would be something like a score of billions of dollars better off. Of course, the mere increase in the rate of interest did not alone pre cipitate a greater calamity than the World War, so far as this'country was concerned, but Governor Hard ing rather boasts that this was the first step in his deflation policy.
