WHERE ARE WE DRIFTING?

In his effort to solve the high cost of
 living the average man. for some inex- plicable reason. overlooks the growing evil of substitution, which is steadily
 undermining the value of the dollar
 and adding to the financial burden of all classes.
 This evil is prevalent everywhere,
 and We seem to be drifting helplessly
 along in it's strong. rising tide. In
 some respects it is like cancerous
 growth gnawing at the vitals, sucking and laying waste capital set in circula- tion to exploit the combined effort of
 the brightest intellects and the most adroit hands. It respects neither the rich nor the poor
 Manufacturers who after years of toll and expenditure of time and money succeed in arriving at some tangible article of special merit, seek protection for their thought and industry by sett- ling upon a trade mark. They com ply with all the requirements of law in
 obtaining this trademark, which is to shield them from imitators. and pro- ceed to launch their wares with com mendable elation and assurance. Being progressive, they call to their aid the advertising columns of the newspapers. for which they pay liber- ally and get equitable value The best ! writers are employed and in a litle while the whole world is made ac quainted with the excellence of the article advertised Cities and towns respond. and business moves satisfac- torily to an exalted place.
 Factories hum with new life and ac- tivity. until the noise of their industry ! beats on the ears of men who spend their lives in following and initiating others.
 At this juncture the imitators arouse themselves to action. By contact with their particular trade they find the suc- cessful manufacturer has succeeded in creating national demand for his products. and that this demand is in the ascendency.
 They are in a position to know to a
 nicety. for they sell his goods and make | a legitimate profit. A new trade has been made for them by the wideawake i manufacturer and advertiser. but they bear him no good will, nor do they en- deavOr to assist him in his effort.

USES OF WEALTH

The constitution of and of society alike evinces the design of God Both made to be happier by the possession of riches; their full de- velopment, to large extent upon wealth. Without it there be neither books nor implements neither commerce nor arts, neither towns cities It is folly to denounce that, love which God has placed in man by constitutional faculty; that with which he has associated high grades of happiness; that which has motives touching every faculty of the mnd.-Henry Ward Beecher

EURoPE's WAR FILLS PooRHoUsEs

Reports received in Washington indi-
cate that relief will soon be required
among the wives and children whose
breadwinners have enlisted in European
armies 1t is claimed that hundreds of
New York families are already destitute
and are being cared for in poorhouses
and other charitable institutions. In the
coal region of Pennsylvania. where
thousands of alien miners quit work
and hurried to their regiments. the poor
houses are said to be filled beyond THEN
capacities. In other centers where aliens
have established homes the situation ia
the same.
None of the dependents of the aliens
who went back TO Europe to fight can
be deported under the law defined pub
lie charges becauses their plight results
from causes that occurred after they
landed in the United States. In no
event can alien public charges who have
been here three years be expelled.

A few newspapers which never see
ANYTHING good in a plan for industrial
peace which does not contain kick for
the labor unions and n positive and per-
emptory demand for the same to get
back in a corner and be good, do not
like the Investigations now being con-
Quoted by the federal relations commits
sion. The hearings are foolish waste
of time and money, according to them
The men who own the industries are the
only people who have anything to say
about how the industries should be run,
so what is the use of hearing testimony
even from the owners, to say nothing OF
testimony from such disinterested part
les as employees.
Thanks to the Wilson administration,
that is not the view now current in re-
lation to such problems. There is not
only one interested party but there are
three parties interested in industry. The
employer. the employe and the great
American people are all interested part
les who have something to- say about
how the industries shall be run. All of
these parties are entitled to protection
and the grievances of any one of them
are entitled to consideration by the
other interested parties.
The plans of the federal industrial
relations commission contemplate volun-
tary arbitration as the logical method
OF settling differences under the present
industrial arrangement. As a matter of
fact that is the only way which is now
apparent. Unless the government wants
to assume the responsibility of control
and operation of the industries volun-
tary arbitration is the one thing which
can be employed.
The unions are always willing to ar
bitratc. They are never willing TO have
their grievances met with the answer
that there is nothing to arbitrate. When
the employers assume that they are the
whole show and crisply announce that
the employees can accept the terms of
fercd or get off the earth-well, that is
where the trouble starts.
II has taken quite little time for
some papers to come to an understand
ing of the fact that the worlds work is
conducted for some other purpose than
supplying an easy living to the owners
of the jobs, but that understanding has
commenced to percolate into the mech
anism of the profit-computing machines
of lot of bosses. The man who works
for wages cumbers the earth for lot
of reasons other than being the handy
trcadmill horse for the man who owns
the job.
When the worker gets sufficiently
wide awake he will quit trcading the
mill. He will then not be content that
his wife and babies live in sun-baked
shack with unexpected floors and un-
curtained windows. He will come to be-
licve that the prcttiest and softest cloth
ing is none too good for his own family
and that the blessings of education and
the joys Of an enlightened understand.

OUROWN WAR
By w. E. GORDON

Terrible, appalling, horrible" can be
heard every day, anywhere as voicing
the speakers idea OF this great war
yet We are in the throes of an indus
trial conflict equally as barbaric, where
greater numbers perish and many more
are wounded every year.
But Europe's war is spectacular and
sudden, and destruction is swift; ours
is a slow grinding process that knows no
day of rest; it never stops; lives in
Vulnerable are blasted slowly by days
and years, then snuffed out.
Blasting lives is our business, but be-
ing blind egotists we do not see.
We produce all the staple foods and
fibers, and in such prodigal quantity
that tits said We feed the world
Nature has blessed us with mineral
deposits in keeping with our food sup
ply until by her gifts We are the United
States of abundance.
In the face of these gifts and the
presence OF the Giver we employ nearly
two million children in the factories of
our "big interests" at the same time
that hosts of ablebodied men are idle
and in want.
Glutted with abundance, we destroy
this multitude of little children-for of
such is the profit of mammon; indeed,
We have closed our eyes and stopped our
ears, and have not seen their distress
nor heard their cry.
Poverty We have everywhere in the
midst OF this plenty. Why?
OF property we make a fetish, every
mothers son of US from the garbage
man to the kaiser wants property; We
talk, think and have our being in prop
erty; merchandise is our God, to sell
it is mans noblest work; this may not
be our ideal, but it is our practical,
everyday life.
Property is necessary; proprietorship
in the earth is vital to our existence,
but if we admit the principle of private
ownership in land and its monopoly,
then indeed do we become slaves to the
cunning few, who, while We work, plan
and scheme and pass laws for our de-
spoilation.
Monopoly is the mother of all wars;
even religious wars are the fruit OF that
desire. the religious eombatants desiring
q monopoly of adherents to their creed.
Let US pray TO our Creator that war
in Europe may cease, but let US also
work with our Creator that industrial
war in these United States may be
ended.
