The Price Of Luxurles.

Denver Times: Daily our ears are
assailed by the mournful chant on the
high cost of living and on the soaring
prices for anything and everything,
No one can seriously dispute the sta
tistics which reveal the glazing fact
that the general level of prices on
foodstuffs and wearing apparel is from
so to 200 per cent higher now than
ten years ago. And during this steady
procession in the past decade, this
country has witnessed the introduction
of a greater and a costlier list of lux
uries than in any previous period.
1t is the American habit, it seems,
to acquire everything within ones
reach that will conduce to a larger de-
gree Of personal comfort. The Ameri-
can wants the best and the latest in
articles which enlarge his field of hap
piness: and it is this habit which has
made the nation among the richest In
the world.
Coney islands, moving picture shows,
automobiles, steam yachts and motor
cycles may be classed as Injuries else
where: but here they are necessities
Fully s4oO, 100000 go into articles and
entertainment in this country each
year that another people would save.
But this spending habit keeps business
alive. The anomaly of the situation
is that, while the American will howl
down the price of sirloin, he barely
debates the price of his luxuries.

Hitchcock Makes Good.

Washington Post: For the first
time in thirty years, according to post
office department figures. the post
office department is self sustaining,
and Postmaster General Hitchcock
has returned to the treasury s3,00o,00o
that had been set aside from the pub
lie funds to defray the expenses OF
the department for the current year.
The department has surplus of ST.
100000 gained from its own earnings,
and a handsome surplus is looked for
at the end of the fiscal year. The
postal deficit at the end of the last
fiscal year was $17,5o0,00o. To change
this into surplus is a remarkable
piece of executive and administrative
work, of which President Taft and
Postmaster General Hitchcock have
reason to be proud. 1t is not prom

A false prophet is the worst of all
counterfeits.
Nothing will grow like trouble
that is nursed.
Fear never made an honest man out

If every man were a Moses every
bush would flame
The devil is proud of the man who
is mean to his wife.
Thoughts are things that men with

Nothing can be right to the man
whose heart Is wrong.
Love is the only thing that more
than pays for all it gets.
The more respectable sinner is the
