Valley "Het Up"
Over Candidates
For Postoffice
Aspirations of Editor Incite
Wrath of C. 0. P. Old
Guard, Which Favors
Henry Harrier.
Washington, D. C. Feb. 27.
(Special TeloRini.) The patron?
of the postoft'ico at Valley are all
"het up" as lkc Mill, a former demo
cratic politician ot an older time was
wont to remark, over the candidates'
for the Valley postoffice, and judg
ing from the letters that Congress
man Jefferis is getting there are not
lurid words enough on the type
writer to express the feelings of the
patrons over the candidacy of C. E.
ryars, who is the publisher of the
Enterprise at that place.
The old guard of the republican
party in that section of Douglas
couty is in favor of Henry Harrier,
who has a petition signed by up
wards of 200 patrons asking that he
be selected for the job. Mr. Har
rier was connected with the Omaha
postofice for 12 years under Post
masters B. F. Thomas. John C.
Wharton and C E. Fanning. !
He resigned in 1918 to manage his
father's farm near Valley. 'It is
rumored that National Committee
man R. B, Howell has endorsed
Byars, which has excited the old
guard as nothing in the political his
tory of Douglas county has in a
quarter of a century. '
Congressman Jefferis, of course,
will not move in the matter until
President-elect Harding decides
what he will do with the executive
order of the president putting all
postmasters above the fourth class
under civil service. An intimation
came out of St. Augustine recently,
however, that Senator Harding be
lieves the president's order went en
tirely too far and that there were too
many partisan democrats selected by
a democratic postmaster general to
suit his republican ideas. Hence,
it may be expected a modification of
the order will be made shortly after
the postofice machinery under the
new postmaster general gets to run
ning smoothly. '
International Paper
Company Earnings Are
Placed at $17,000,000
s
Chicago Tribune-Omaha lire Leaned M ire.
New York. Feb. 27. While the
annual report of the International
Paper company is not expected to
be published until the latter part
of March, unofficial estimates ,of
1920 figures place , net earnings after
allowance of taxes, at approximately
817,000,000. It is claimed that or
dinary depreciation will be carried
at $2,000,000 and charge off for de
preciation of inventory will amount
to $5,000,000, making a total deduc
tion of $7,000,000 from net. On the
basis of estimated earnings, deduct
ing approximately $500,000 for bond
interest and $1,500,00(1 for dividends
on the preferred stock would leave
in the neighborhood of $8,000,000
available for the common stock.
"7-This would be' rqirivalent to $40
a share on the 19K.039 shares of
common stocks outstanding. This
compares with net. after taxes and
interest, available for the common
stock of $2,621,494, equai to $13,a
share for the 1919 fiscal ear.

Daylight Ahead
(From The Boston Globe.)
The clock has struck 3 or 4, and the watchmen
assure us that all is well. The business of this coun
try has come safely through the night and is be
ginning to see daylight ahead of it.
Confidence is returning. Men of affairs, who a"
few weeks ago were startled every time they heard
a newsboy shouting "extra," are making plans for
the future.
The nameless fear which oppressed them two
and three months ago, and cast its shadow over the
rest of the population was that the country might
be headed for an old-fashioned panic, in which
strong and well-laid, foundations would crumble to
dust over night. Veterans of business could not help
recalling such horrors in the past, following other
periods of intense activity. They remembered, too,
the partial paralysis resulting, which was overcome
onty by a long, painful struggle to restore the nor
mal commercial processes. ,
That great fear has faded. The faith is growing
strong that the crisis ha&been passed.
History witnesses that the panics of other days
have come at the beginning, rather than at the end
of a period of falling prices. The Federal Reserve
system, constructed for the express purpose of pre
venting panics has proved its soundness day after
day and month after month. From time to time its
governor, Mr. W. D. P. Harding, whose petition
enables him to keep one finger perpetually on the
pulse of the whole business world, has spoken
frankly. And he has been right each time. The gov
ernor now announces that the turn has come. His
precise words are worth pasting on the wall above
every office desk, and here they are.
"Not only has all danger of a great (financial
crisis or money panic passed, but business is safely
over the most critical and trying stage of the re
adjustment period."
Many known facts fit with Gov. Harding's
declaration. Of course there has been a tightening
of blts all along the line. Somebody and a good
many people had to lose. But we are on a sounder
basis. And the country is still in business.
There are no loud prophecies that we are on
the verge of another tremendous boom, such as was
experienced during the war. But the present finan
cial and psychological relief means much.
Just as soon as the Hindenburg line wa bro
ken it was taken for granted that war conditions
must be replaced by peace conditions, and the in
evitable transition was dreaded as painful. Ameri
can business was in the position of a party engaged
in a balloon ascension, who had been very com
fortable on the way up, but knew that they must
get back to earth, and dreaded the bumps. Thanks
to our financial machinery, the party has reached
solid ground, after. a reasonably slow descent and
without going to smash.
There is no immediate prospect of soaring into
the clouds again. Nor is that particularly desirable.
But America has enormous requirements which
must be filled, for there is, a large business to be
done at home.
Of course abounding frosperity is impossible for
the United States while so large a part of the world is
still struggling to find its feet after the destruction of
the most awful war in history. But there are authori
ties wiio believe that we can get along comfortably
without selling to Europe at the swollen rate maintained
during the years from 1915 to 1920.
A "sellers' market," in which the purchasers were
lined up three deep before the counter, bidding against
one another for a stock too small to give each customer
all he wanted, has changed to a "buyers' market," to
which those who have articles for sale go with their
samples in their grips. It is a different kind of busi
ness, and requires different methods. But it is the sort
most people are used to. And it is a tolerable sort.
, An old man, who has been in commercial life ever
since the civil war, declared the other-day that he had
only known two years in all that time when a fair exer
cise of brain power was not essential to success. Those
two years, he said, were 1919 and 1920. They have
passed, and business is returning to its old-fashioned
charades. ,
' Manufacturers are getting ready for orders for
, many weeks.and now the orders have begun to come in.
The salesmen have left their swivel chairs and
donned their traveling clothes. They are out on the
road which leads, to business as usual.
