The Voice of the Statesman

Florida TimeS-Union.
Our wisest economists are puzzled
by some of the phenomena confront
ing us in the home market, and
many of us are looking for light.
President Wilson is a scholar as we'll
as statesman, and we know he is
honest and without prejudice-it is
from these that enlightenment must
come unless we are to see again the
miracle of old when "out of the
mouth of babes" came wisdom to
confront learning and experience.
Hear President Wilson, therefore.
and be ready to applaud when he
speaks:
High prices did not spring di-
rectly out of the tariff. The sprang
out of the suppression of domestic,
no less than of foreign, competition
by means OF combinations and trade
agreements which could be much
more easily contrived and maintain
ed under the protection OF a high
tariff than without it,"
Nothing new or surprising in
that-it is the old doctrine generally
received. But a satisfying solution
must solve all the difficulties and
give complete answcr-pardon us
If we ask for more. High prices
come from the suppression Of com
petition? For we have mass of
legislation prepared on the supposi-
ton that competition will save u
and another mass, if not equal to
size yet portentous, which denies us
the right to compete. How's that?

Life goes on for us at home about
the same; we have our personal sor-
rows, of course, but in general
things are very much the same.
The skies are just as blue, the sun
as golden, and children's laughter
just as merry in our own happy
land, but over there-where heavy
smoke clouds hang low over city
and country, where crumbling walls
and piles of wood and stone tell
their hideous story, where the dead
fathers of the children we would
help keep their last Iong vigil, and
where terror and devastation and
awful solitude reign supreme-over
there little children will cry in vain
for their Christmas toys and their
Christmas sweets unless we who are
so far away from them forestall
their needs, and oh, the joy, and the
gladress, and the blessedness of
ministering to their Christmas
wants,

bine, because that would suppress
competition and arbitrary demands
would infiict higher rates, but labor
unions must be protected to suppress
competition on the theory that high
wages will profit all of us. Now If
the railway manager must not raise
the cost of transportation and must
pay higher wages, who is to pay div
idends on the investment? And
when no dividends or profits are
permitted who is to maintain the
efficiency of the road?
If the employer is to pay higher
wages and reduce the cost of his
product to the consumer at the same
time, my what power can he accom-
plish the miracle except by better
management? But when the man
agement is taken out of his hands
and all the details of his business
subjected to the regulation of a
board composed of politicians with
out experience or expert knowledge,
where is he to turn for relief?
That is one puzzle, and the presi-
dents prescription does not reach
the seat of the pain, but there are
others. What constitutes the wealth
of a people but the ability to pro-
duce? But what of the cry that we
can grow rich only by restricting

tor who made two blades OF grass

hurt to his stsate? How can ii be
possible that bumper crop means

small crop of cotton than big one?
That war in Europe deprives us OF
good customers, and we can under
stand how the loss of a customer en-
tails disaster on the merchant, but
we were not entirely happy last yeal
when markets were glutted because
we produced too much and prices
fell below the cost of production. We
can't blame the war for the injuries
we received before the war was de

4 STUDENT JOKE.
Gsenspiraey Of Silence That Put the
Professor In a Panic.

Professor Elias Loonlis for many
years occupied the chair of astrono-
my at Yale and was the author of
the well known series of mathemat-
ical text books.
Professor Loomis repeated each
year to the junior class'a course of
lectures on physics. The lectures
were illustrated by experiments,
and in one on compressed air he
explained the principle of the well
known air gun.
The students of each succeeding
class as they entered the room for
this particular lecture found on the
side of the room remote from the
platform a small target. After ex-
planning the operation of the gun
Professor Loomis was in the habit
of landing three of its projectiles
with mathematical accuracy in the
center of the bullseye.
The professor was always ap-
plauded for this feat, but his grim
face, covered by a tightly drawn
skin of parchment hue, never show
ed the slightest sign of qualification
or recognition Of any kind. To him
it was apparently only a scientific
experiment to be exactly demon
strated.
One class of Juniors, however,
who had learned of the immemorial
incident from the then seniors, at
tempted a little experiment OF
their own, the subject being mathe-
matical and scientific human ma.
ture.s
Three puffs from the air gun, and,
although the students saw that the
bullseye was perforated as usual,
there was not a sound OF applause,
Professor Loomis looked Q moment
at the class in & startled way, then
ct the target, and then, with a de-
gree Of emotion he had never be-
fore shown, exclaimed:
Didn't it hitf Didn't it hfts
Didn't it hit p
A roar of laughter, followed by
even more than the usual applause,
showed the professor that he had
not lost his mather ltical accuracy.
