himself in advance with a market to get rid of the
stuff is simply throwing his goods his money away
The factions in the field have been supporting
themselves with loot, "confiscated" metals and
modtie including CATTLE sisa and cotton, which they
have been able to ship to the United States and sell
for gold and silver. One way to put a stop to the
fighting would be for the United States to stop the
importation of stolen goods. Mexico has no
ammunition factories that count for much The Euro
pean market closed to the Mexican factions The
could not go without powder and shells bought in
the United States with the proceeds Of stolen property
Another interesting development in the economic
situation IN Mexico has just come to light with the
publication Of order by Carranza to all textile
facturers arbitrarily raising the wages of wOrlmen
IS and 40 percent This raise IS said be justified by
the "high cost of living" But one way to insure
increase in the cost of living is to raise wages in
dusries upon which the supply Of necessares of life
depends. It is endless chain CarTanza may shoot
the manufacturers who lift prices to compensate them
for the increased payroll but that viii not solve the
economic question.
The next step in the Caranza program to be wholly
consistent, should be order fixing all the costs Of
production, fixing the selling price to consumers, and
limiting the profits. Then if any way could be found
force the manufacturers continue under such
ditions, everything would be lovely. The worst that
could happen would be the abandonment of the plants,
and of Mexico would be much better off with
lot Of rusty and dismantled machinery and few hun
dred thousand idle workmen, than with facores
running and wOrlmen employed.

actual facts in this particular instance
and are nothing more nor less than q
correct sample Of what has always
been the result OF throwing a large
body Of men out of employment By any
cause Whatsoever
in reply to these facts. Mr.. Campbell
produces a table Of figures which
shows that the number OF men en-
ploved, per million OF capital invested,
is larger in the other industries than
il is in the manufacture and sale OF
distilled and fermented liquors. II is
more than 80 years since i 1lrSr read
this sarse table Of figures. and have
never ben able TO find a flaw in It
Therefora I believe il to be correct.
But Mr. Campbell makes the astound-
ing deduction from these figures mat
IL he would suddenly throw the $4,000
men, who are directly employed IN the
liquor business. out Of employment, the
Immediate result would be the en-
plOEmenL OF 100000. IN addition 10 these

Campbell viii show me how to make
this incident Of losing my Job pro-
confer a favor
AIr. Campbell bases this surprising
deduction upon the statement that the
money invested in the liquor business
would be used to build up our other
industries Evidently he is ignorant OF
the tact that there are today many mil
lions of idle capital IN these United
States Of America that are looking for
profitable investment The sudden
dumping Of eleven hundred millions
more idle capital into such a financial
situation would certainly not improve
it
Apparently it is MI CampbelTs idea
that all that is necessary to make
success Of q big business enterprise
is TO get the money TO buid the 1ac-
tory and turn out the goods. In this
he reminds me Of the man who at
tempted TO make million dollars IN

Community Singing Revived

The United States government, through the bureau
of education, is recognizing music vital factor IN
the life and happiness of the nation, and is establish
ing a commission to look into community music plans
of cities and prepare report practical community
music.
Baltimore has gone further than any other city in
experiments with community music which is something
other than choral societies. important these in
upbuilding the music and happiness and civic strength
of g community.
Baltimore has an idea of a whole city singing; at
recent singing congress there the audience took up the
suggestion with enthusiasm and sang the songs By
vote the songs chosen we're Old Kentucky Home, Sweet
and Low, Loves Old Sweet Song, Suwanee River Lovely
Evening "a Tound), How Can Leave Thee, Nancy Lee
Blow Ye Winds Drink To Ne Only With Thine Eyes,
Dixie and America. The audience was very much in
terested in its singing and in the project to estab
lsh city singing societies.
The truth is the world loves to sing, but had almost
forgotten that it did. Singing societies have always
been popular Folk songs the natural expression
of the popular heart and community singing is natural
development of the Old-world folk songs
