I “‘ASHINGTON. July 26.—-—Rising
prices of wheat. corn. hogs and oth-
er farm products to levels which
. they have not reached for many
months are distinctly discouraging
to the followers here of the La Fol-
lette-VViieeler Presidential ticket and
have led to veiled charges. which
may be made more definite soon.
that the big business interests of the
country are manipulating prices in
the interest of the Republican par-
1y.
Coincidentally prices of wheat.
corn and hogs made further gains to
day in the markets. Wheat. was sell-
ing at the highest levels of the year.
31.31 7-8 a bushel or more. “1110311
represented advances over the cor-
«
responding date last year of between
28 and 33 per cent. Corn. which is
'up 30 to 4U per cent. abm'e last
year, took on strength based on. a
report by Government authorities
that a. large proportion of the crop
may be lost if frosts do not hold off
until unusually late. In the live-
stock market hogs brought 39.50. a
hunderiveight. the highest price
since September, 1923.
The La. Follctte leaders frankly
admit their chances in the argicul-
turar States are being greatly di-
minished by rising farm prices. for
their chief argument has been that
while the farmer has been ground
down into poverty the industrial
( magnate: of the East have been rcal‘
ing a. rich harvest. of profits. Inas-
much as the Bethlehem Steel Com-
pany. which has hitherto been a
target for radical attack. pamed its
quarterly dividend yesterday simul-
\taneously with lhe setting of a new
high for Wheat. the La i-‘ollette lead
on now confess it will be hard to
maintain their argument during the
l-.x:ampatgn if prices keep to their lev-
.. ls.
"“3 Those who are vaguely charging
that the higher prices result from
intentional manipulation of the
markets in the interests of the Re-
publicans do not have the facts and
:igures now on which to base their
charges, but hope to have them
soon. For instance. they declare
that recently published reports on
visible wheat and cotton supplies
are misleading and in some cases
put out for the purpose of increas-
ing prices temporarily. with lower
prices to come when the market be-
comes stabilized to actual condi-
tions. But when facts and figures
on the alleged manipulation are ask-
ed the La. Folletto leaders-say they
may have something to say later.
The fact remains that the great
supplies of wheat and corn have not
yet been sold by the farmers and

“Coolidge luck" is the way in
' which most observers here view the
situation. for they point out that

:been; "Keep cool with Coolidge."
The eflicacy of this advice they be-
‘tzlieVs is being well demonstrated
‘ to the farmers by present prices and
they will be encouraged to believe
"that a. policy of conservation and
‘ "avoidance of hysteria will soon bring
"affairs to the state which the farm-
:..‘ers have been seeking.

of Reading who has written “Other
People's.Lives" in which he has
done for small town life much that
Sinclair Lewis has done in "Main
Street."
Mr. Phillips believes that too
much inflated credit. trying to keep
up with some other person‘s game.
too much drinking. too much neigh~
borllnces. and too little individual
life seeking its respective express-
ion. are faults which cramp the
lives of people living cheek by Jowl
in every city community scattered
from one end of the country to the
other. >
But he is not cynical in his out-
look.
“In my book I pictured life as I
found it and lived it in Larchmont.
I could find the same life in Bridge-
port or F‘airflezd or Stratford." he
declared. "And in addition to find-
ing things artificial and sympto—
matic of wasted. misdirected effort.
I should find elements be-speaking
l development and progress."
Another book is to be brought
out by Mr. Phillips before many
months. He is calling it “The Man
Who Never “ls—And Five \‘Vo-
men."

England homestead dating back to
pro-Revolutionary days situated on

Mr. Phillips is preparing the final
chapters of his latest novel—"The
Untcnantcd Heart" which is to be
published before he sails for Eu-
rope in the late Autumn.
The author of- “Other People's

five years found on a Connecticut
hilltop the quiet solitude. he needs,
to go on with his task of interpret-
ing to the American people their
communal life as he has observed it.
In the calm of his little study
with its walls deepest in books Mr.
Philips confided that his recent

from the ecclesiastical atmosphere

being able to balance a. column of

At this point Mr. Phillipa finally
admitted that already be has written
more than so short stories and has
prepared 60 motion picture scena-
rios. At 21 he went through Europe
as a hobo. and when on the verge
of starvation there. he turned from
tramplng to the teaching of Eng-
lish in a. school of languages in
Brusseils. In e words of Mr.
Phillips again:
"Upon my return to the United

Following his experience in the

ipapers and some motion picture‘
' magazines. '
"I even wrote some Jokes for
some of the humorous magazines."
Mr. Phillips confided. "but they sad- ;

out that Ohio has a. debt of about
3700.000.0'\0 and California is in-
deted to the amount of 3600.000.000.
There is a debt. but there is also a
sinking fund. which. if left as in-

the. debt at maturity. he added.
"We are in as od shape as
others insofar as highways are con-7
corned. and along other lines it ap-
pears the State is pretty nicely set
and on In. very sound financial basis."
If appropriations can be kept
down it will be possible by means
of other receipts above disburse-
ments. to finance the Mansfield and
Norwich projects without increasing
taxes or isuiiig bonds. in his opinion. .
"If we can keep up a sound policy
we can make Connecticut the best

gathering of the organisation in
Copenhagen.
The'Presldent bade the scouts
farewell in his capacity as honorary
president of the American boy
scouts. and enjoined the departing
boys to show their foreign associates
in the scout movement that they
desired to protect and cherish their
own country and "contribute to the
well being. right thinking. and true
living of the whole world.“
'There was no, boy scout organ-
ization in my boyhood. but every
boy who has privilege of growing
up on a farm learns instinctively the
three fundamentals of acouthood."
the President said.
"The first is a reverence for he»
ture. Boys should never lose their
love of the fields and the streams.
the mountains and the plains. the
open places and the forest. That
love will be a priceless possession as
your years lengthen out.
“The second is a reverence for
law. I remember the town meet-
ings of myvboyhood. when the citi-
zens of our little town met to levy
taxes on themselves and to choose
from their own number those who
should be their officers. There is
something in every such meeting.
in every election. that approaches
very near to the sublime. I am
thrilled at the thought of my
audiences tonight. for. I never ad—

are boys who will be presidents of
our railroads. presidents of colleges.
of banks. owners of splendid farms.
and useful industries. members of
Congress. representatives of our
people in foreign lands. That. is the
heritage of the American boy.
"The third is a. reverence f .
It is hard to see how a. grea- goo:

thia with a basis of facts—could be
so eugrossingly vital to a stirring
romantic novel.
But as the scholar and hi‘orien
is well aware. feudalism was found-
ed upon the inherited ownership of
the land. and the Renaissance drew
and patronage of the traders and
manufacturers. Their increasing
wealth gained them the title of
"merchant princes." at first by
courtesy. and later. in such free
cities as Venice and Genoa. by pat-
em.
The menml and financial courage
of the merchants of the Middle Ages
was ultimately responsible for the
discovery of America. Columbus
had innumerable forerunners. un-
known to fame: men who believed
in the conquests of peace rather
than of war. and spent all their en—
ergies in weaving a net of trade
about the world. .A magnificent
type of these is Sigismund. one of
the dominant personalities of "The
Singing Season." Describing himself
half humorously as a simple mer-
chant. he was known to others, as
the richest man in Spain. an un-
crowned king. and constantly ex-
posed to the dangers of such an an—
omalous position. He was being
fought for then by two kings. Pedro
the Cruel and his half~brother Hem
ry the Bastard. Entirely against
his will Sigismund was naturally in-
volved in the strife between Church
and State. which culminated in the
murder of King Pedro by King
Henry. his brother.
