course probably lies between the two

Is the basis of the so-called jan

veral days which has probably been
the commencement of discounting
this movement What the effect Of
these conditions will be upon specu-
lation remains to be seen. Easy mo-
ney usually stimulates speculative
ACTIVITY, but leading bankers are
known to be still IL a very conserva-
tive frame Of mind, and disposed to
restrain undue speculative operations.
The policy of slow and forced liquid
alton. which has been carried out for
the last six months, has been un-
doubtedly beneficial. It has checked
a pace that was altogether too rapid,
and has facilitated the restoration Of
equilibrium which may pave the way
for fresh activity later on.
The feeling is still abroad that va

basis. This may be true Of commo-

in a partially reduced cost of living.
AS yet however, these reductions
have not yet reached the consumer,
largely because middlemen are en-
deavoring to maintain their old scale
of profit as long as possible. The
most serious problem which produ-
GERS have to face is the high cost
elements How this is to be reduced,
is as yet to be solved Some reduc-
ton may be had in raw materials, but
this will not be sufficient, and can
not offset the greatly increased cost
Of wages and the advances i'm rents,
taxes, etc. The best solution would
appear to be in securing more eff
cheney of labor. Wages have risen,
hours have been shortened and out
put restricted until these factors have
been a very serious element in in
creased costs. Under present condi-
tons it is almost impossible to ask
labor to accept lower wages. Labor,
however, can materially relieve the
situation to its own advantage by en-
couraging a policy of great efficiency
and larger production, Labor is af-
ter all the chief consumer, and while
insisting upon advanced wages, has
been unconsciously diminishing the
purchasing power of its wages and
increasing it's own cost of living.

Lawrence Journal.
A big ten cent store at Lawrence
has a rule to the effect that clerks
must not sit down while on duty.
About thirty girls are employed there,
and they have to stand on their feet
ten hours a day. If they made any
protest they were fired. Some of the
parents of the girls concluded that
while such things existed the paIla-
dunn of liberty wasn't having a run
for it's money, and they complained to
the health officer of the town, and he

is hoping that he will bring the en-

same sort is enforced in other towns

A NOTE OF WARNING.

An editorial, under the above caption,
which appears in the Worlds Work for
February, is we'll worthy of reproduce
ton in every newspaper in the coun-
try. 1t would furnish mighty excellent
food for some good, sober thinking on
the part of the people generally and
the politicians in particular. It is as
follows:
I'VE are at full-safl again on sea of
prosperity Building is going on in
every part of the country. Land values
are rising. The railroads have long
trains and no idle cars. Go where you
will, the hotels are full and new ones
are going up. The semiannuaI pay
.ments of dividends are exceedingly
large. Farmers, manufacturers, and
traders all tell the same story.
"A note of warning at such a time
sounds like croaking. Yet men whose
memories go backward any reasonable
distance, and who prefer to look pres
ent conditions squarely in the face.
cannot be wholly content. For the cost
of living goes up and up. The pressure
of prices from below is ever harder. At
the same time we are travelling at a
pace fixed by the expectation of in
definite prosperity ahead of us.
Our mood takes color from our
hopes. Our country is indefinitely rich,
we say; and we shall be indefinitely
prosperous. We must keep going for
ward.
This experience and this mood are
justified. There are good reasons for
| them, if we keep a good sense of pro-
portion. But our thought and our
habits can easily outrun our produc-
! tivity. Take the productive workers

ward by leaps and bounds in the real
work that counts toward making
wealth? We go forward by leaps and
bounds chiefly in those large collective
ways that may deceive us-by the in
crease of land values, by the free use
and extension of credit, by those in
tangible, collective methods of progress
