a kind OF pride in the fact
except at the first of the month when
the bills come in-and look with some
thing akin to pity on people who are
able to exist without spending so much
money. But New York must take
a back seat in the matter of expense
with BuenOS Ayres.
No doubt there are costlier places | n
the world-mining camps, boom towns
and b like. But for settled regions
and established conditions, Buenos
AyreS prices seem to those elsewhere
like the Metropolitan tower to a. bird
cage. If anybody knows of a more
expensive place he IS advised to keep
the knowledge to himself lest some
foolish New Yorker undertake a visit
n never be able to count out his
money fast enough to buy a ticket
back.
When you arrive in the capital of
the Argentine you are told that you
must regard the paper peso Just as
you would a quarter at home. This Ia
all very we'll until you go to the bank
Tor a supply of pesos, when you find
that they cost you almost fifty cents
apiece. After that you begin to study
the situation, and come to the reluc-
tant but inevitable conclusion that you
must adapt your finances to a scale
of living from half as much again to
twice as much as that in New York.
Not everything, of course, is higher
or even so high, as at home. Food
averages about the same, clothing is
not a great deal dearer, carriage hire
Is less, and jewelry. which comes in
from France under an insignificant
customs duty, seems like finding
money. But n cannot spend all his
time riding in carriages or buying
,ewelry because they are relatively in
expensive. Rents are staggering
laundry is exorbitant, service of most
Sorts is high and fuel is beyond the
dreams of avarice.
Rents are probably at the bottom of
most of the other high prices. They
Are more than double what they are
On the island Of Manhattan. This.
foo, without apparent reason. Buenos
Ayres Is located on the edge of an end
less plain, with ample room to spread
out In three directions, and land does
not nearly approach in cost that of
New York. For property on the Aven-
ida de Mayo, the principal street, 1900
pesos a square meter would be regard
ed as a high price. This works out
at about $50 a square foot. A plot at
Broadway and Wall street was sold a
few years ago at twelve times that
figure.
The only tenable excuse advanced
for high rents in Buenos Ayres is
cost of building. Cement has to be
imported from Europe, and pine for
interior woodwork from the United
States. Undoubtedly construction ia
expensive, but not enough SO to ac-
count for rents. The deeper reason
seems, to be that for several years
Argentina has been going through a
period of rapid commercial expansion,
with enormous advances In the value
of agriculture and-to a lesser degree
of city lands. Property owners have
therefore come to expect and demand
unusual profits. If landlords told the
truth about high rents. it could be put
In a nutshell. 1--WE need the money"
would be the answer.
A~rgentina's business is raising food
for Europe, but in Buenos Ayres the
prices even Of the country's own prod
ucts are kept up to a standard sub
stantially equivalent to that In New

II OBJECT. !"
BY the Rev. Charles Stelzle..

Whenever resolution Is intro
duced, he is sure to offer an objection.
Sometimes he kicks on the subject
matter itself. Then he protests
against the form in which the resolu-
ton has been presented. Frequently
he finds fault with word in the
construction of q sentence, and often
he will offer an amendment which
puts the original resolution out of
business. He is primed for every
parliamentary dispute. He seems to
be familiar with every communica-
ton that is read at the meeting of the
local. He knows the leaders and their
foibles. He is on the lob all the time,
with both feet, both fists, and with q
tongue that is sharper than a two
edged sword. He takes himself seri-
ously. Never does he crack smile.
He has mission, and everybody soon
comes to know it. Often have we
wished him in Timbuctoo, where he
could spout to his hearts content on
al the "isms' that so glibly glide off
the end of his tongue.
But honestly, we'd miss him if he
should go. Miss him not because we
love him, perhaps, but because he is
one of the necessary factors in our
development. AS a matter of fact,
without him, we'd soon drift into "a
rut, because most of us are too lazy
to think of an objection, to say moth
ing of an original propositions, There's
at least one thing that we must say
to his credit-he always attends the
meetings. Furthermore, he must
spend considera BILE time in reading
and in study to know as much as he
does about current events and the
theories which men are discussing. He
actually thinks. He may. not always
he right, but he certainly is awake
and that isn't bad. But he is more
often right than not. We object to
him because he is like a bee buzzing
about our heads, but even the bee is
useful creation. =
Sometimes it's hard to be patient
with the kicker. But there are others
VINO are worse than he is-for in
stance, the fellow who never shows
up at the meeting and then does his
kicking outside where it does a whole
lot more of harm. He's the chap that
should be jumped on, and not the
man who is sincerely, usually intelli-
gently, though not always wisely, reg
istering an objection in the open
meeting to proposed actions which
would often spell disaster.

(SdangerOussl it is to spill blood.
Il would be very dangerous TO our
cause. It would turn millions Of peo-
pie against us who are now favorab bly,

Education is positive. It is headed

Violence is negative. It is headed
backwards.
Another measure that was advo-
Gated during the heat of the McNa-
mara trouble was the general strike.
All talk on that subject reminds
me OF cartoon which appeared dur
ing one of our great strikes. The idea
CT calling all the workers out on
general sympathetic strike was being
advocated. -
The cartoon represented two labor
leaders, in knightly attire, standing
on the seashOre. The words put into
their mouths were from Shakespeare.
one of them, in heroic attitude,
with arm outstretched toward the
sea, proclaimed: 81 can call spirits
from the vastly deep!''
And the other replied, AYE, and 50
can any man; but will they come
When you do call them?"
Except in a case of overwhelming
crisis, general strike is an 1mpos-
sibility.
