Desert o' Dreams, I pass you by,
Safe in a Pullman o'er shining rails,
Maybe where bones deep-buried lie
In the wake of by-gone trails;
Desert o' Dreams, the purple mists
Shroud you in curtains of shimmering haze
Where caravans struggled and oxen died
In the dusts of other days;
Desert o Dreams, the western star
Still burns over you, warm and bright,
The moon still swings in the dreamy sky,
The coyote sings through the desert night,
And still there broods o'er your shifting sands
A dream's delight.
Desert o Dreams, all birth and life,
Death and the future mystery,
Mortal existence and mortal strife,
Mean nothing to you and me;
Older than these our spirits are,
At one with Eternity,
Mine from the birth of the primal star,
Yours from the death of the inland sea,
Desert o' Dreams, I pass you by,
Safe in a Pullman, but sad at heart ;
One moment's communion, you and I,
Before we part!

Secretary of the Treasury Iellon's troubles with the senate
finance committee over the refunding of the Allied debts to the Unit
ed States, says the World, are becoming cumulative.
These debts are demand obligations in the sum of $10,000,000,-
000, with no interest ever paid on them and none now being paid. lie
asked congress nearly a month ago for plenary power to fund them
and the unpaid interest into obligations with a fixed date of maturity
and a settled plan for payments on account of current interest and
sinking-fund charges as they would become due. He has said that
without such power his hands would be tied.
The hate-Wilson members of the senate committee had long sus
pected the late president of having intrigued with the British gov
ernment particularly to cancel these debts, and here was their opor
tunity to disclose the damning truth. Their joy knew no bounds
when they Miaeeeded in fishing up a private letter from Premier
Lloyd George to President Wilson urging cancellation of the debts
as the best way out and most helpful to international relations. They
wrere almost ready to tell Mr. Mellon to go ahead and do his worst
against the bankrupt debtors. Yet where was President Wilson's
favorable reply to Lloyd George? The treasury department did not
have it and doubted its existence. But it leaked out later that Mr.
Lodge's committeeon foreign relations had a Wilson letter in reply,
and this, perforce of circumstances, has now been made public by Mr.
Lodge himself. It is not a favorable reply, but the contrary. It took
the position exactly which is now held by Mr. Mellon. The debts
should be funded and ultimately paid. Such a policy, Mr. Wilson
urged, would better help international relations rather than cancella
tion. What is to be done now? As long as Mr. Wilson was suspected of
favoring cancellation the obvious policy for the hate-Wilson senate
was to instruct Secretary Mellon to proceed to collect. But since Mr.
Wilson is now proved to have been in favor of funding and collecting,
may we not count upon instructions from congress to the treasury
department to give up its funding plans and proceed unconditionally
to wipe out all evidences of these obligations?

SECRECY IN TRADING
The action of the coffee and sugar exchanges in forbidding the
publication of the figures representing the transactions in futures in
Ihose commodities has a strange look. These are articles of every
day use in the homes of almost every American. Practically the en
tire supply, especially coffee, is imported, and it has been more than
hinted that the quotation is manipulated on these exchanges so that
ihe consumer pays more than a fair price.
About one year ago occurred the market which has become
known as the "sugar squeeze, when the price of sugar went to un
heard of heights and without real reason for the rise. It has been
shown to the satisfaction of the public, at least, that sugar was held
in storage to keep the price up, and it was predicted that it would go
to 50 cents per pound. When the public balked, the conspirators got
cold feet and the market broke. Now with the introduction of secre
cy into their operations, what is the intention? Trading in futures,
where the actual commodity is not involved causes a fictitious market
where supply and demand does not operate, which obviously places
the consumer at the mercy of the speculator and manipulator. This
pernicious practice where the necessities of life are concerened should
be stopped, and the sooner the better. Ely Times.

Lord Northcliffe issues a timely warning in respect to the disarm
ament conference when he says that the one thing to be avoided is
nusptcion, and that ' there must be straight, honest dealing, free from
any kind of manoeuvenng.
Here's an opportunity to put Mr. Wilson's dictum into effect,
"open covenants openly arrived at."
JUST ASSESSMENT
If the tax man comes around and hoists your valuation, that is
assessment, and you kick.
If the mine directors send you a notice that you must pay an ad
ditional few cents per share in order to hold your stock that is as
essment. You pay, or let go.
If the Republican congress raises the rate of your living expenses
by making you pay for it, that is protective tariff. If you are a Re
publican you smile and say it is splendid. If you are a Democrat
you promptly denounce it as robbery and an additional assessment
on the privilege of being alive. It's all assessment from any angle
jthat you look it over.
Eastern press dispatches state that people can expect no slump
in the price of coal. No one is disappointed. They never expected it.
It is stated that the live stock industry has a very bright outlook.
This was the conclusion after a recent visit to a butcher shop.
