The settlement of the trouble between the New
York Central Railroad Company and its men is
another feather in the cap of sensible arbitration
of differences. The compromise is satisfactory
TO both sides and other disputes are to be adj
iusted on the basis of the New York Central
compromise. These are but signs showing the
permanent way of adjusting such conflicts, way
that is pleasing to the general public, the suffer

COST OF LIVING.

maddC ONE time ago the Massachusetts general
- assembly appointed a commission TO invesu
Se reasons for the increased cost of living The
noueNpenscs of the commission were to be within
lnssS ZOO. The commission has made elaborate
a clreport which will do no more to solve the veNed
the problem than the investigation at Washington
riaghas done. The commission thinks that the in
crease in the supply of gold is one cause of
sunfhe prevailing high prices 1t thus susains the
TO puantitative theory of money. But some
ovstconomists, such as Professor Laughln say the
+n'increase in gold has no connection with higher
bedprices. Most writers on the subject, however,
Bucwould sustain the Massachusetts view, although
gusnot likely to lay so much stress on it. The tar
~ariffs, trusts and labor unions acquitted OF
blame, and the farmer does not seem to be in
0cluded with gold responsible. The commits
(=sion also believes that the enormous waste OF
II income in the United States through uneco-
II nomic expenditures for war and national
III ment is contributory cause of high prices
II Some of the Massachusetts newspapers are
ii poking fun at the commission for dragging the
III battlesp phase into IT, but there is sound basis
III for the commissions view Considered econom-
ically, money expended for purposes of war and
for batteships is waste in that thev arc not pro-
| ductve Such expenditures withdraw money
II from the pockets -of the people indirectly, but
| III nevertheless certainly.
iii The Massachusetts commission looked deeper

lis suggested, and do not fancy that the trust
lImanpulators are needing the observations of the

Correct Is the idea OF father who
reared his daughters that they might
live independently in case OF misfor-
tune, which is threatening the Ameri-
can family. II gives the woman a
feeling of independence that smooths
the matrimonial way.
Intellectual women are prone 10
think of the old-fashioned sort of mar
rage with the husband as the Garner
and the wife as the housekeeper and
baby-tender. To them and to some
business women marriage seems the
alternative OF independent failure.
The money question never should
be a disagreeable one TO husband and
wife. There should be a division as
between business partners. Woman
need nor compete with men in down
town commercial circles. There is
enough that she can do in the home
In an income-earning way. Women
should be taught to be as independent
as the men of her social class--this
would wipe out many divorce cases
Besides giving the girl some ambition
other than acquiring a husband, II
