PUTTING ON THE BRAKES.

In these days of unusual demand
and dislocation of normal conditions
in many lines of industry, the nat
a line of progressive price advances,
says the Iron Trade Review. These
advances usually far exceed those war
ranted by higher costs of production.
Human nature dictates that when a
market is completely in the hands of
the seller, as it is in many raw or
manufactured materials at the present
time, the obvious course is the most
advantageous one, namely, that the
price should be all that the traffic can
bear. Sound business policy frequent
ly runs counter to natural impulses.
Unrestrained price advances, no mat
ter if the continuing demand appear
to be so strong as to justify them,
eventually reach the point where they
shut off buying for the reason that the
ultimate consumer cannot stand the
cost. There is a maximum point be-
yond which to advance prices is to i'm
pose an undue burden upon one party
and to threaten the good of the whole
trade, since, after all, the best inter
ests of buyers and sellers are inter
dependent. Large steelmakers are
giving due recognition to this truth by
| throwing their influence against any
further general advances in their lines
of manufacture. The wisdom of hold
ing prices in check when radical ad-
vances are possible admits of ready
recognition. To reduce them under
present conditions. however, repre-
sents a much more striking example

LIVING CHEAPLY AND WE'LL.

Most Americans wonder now on
earth people can live on the wages
paid in some foreign countries; and
when we see people coming over here
in the steerage and raising large,
healthy families on small wages, we
wonder also how that can be done
If the truth were known, it is largely
a matter of soup and porridge- What
is more, the American pioneer had
few tricks of the same kind, now
almost forgotten. In every country
there is some national dish which is
cheap, nourishing and savory, and it
is usually a soup or stew. The 1tal-
ian has his mineStrone, and his maca-
roni cooked with meat or vegetables
or both The French housewife has a
hundred or so good soups, notably
petite marmite, soup a la bonnie femme,
and pot-au-feu. The Scotch have
their cockaleekie and barley broo. The
Hungarian has his goulash. And so it
goes Old fashioned New England
farmers cherished their boiled dish
and hash, and let no scrap of pork or
veal or beef to waste. On the South
ern plantation, where food was per-
haps more abundant than anywhere
else in the early days of America,
soups were made of a variety of ma
soup-kettle is the good fairy of any
well managed household brown
and squat fairy, but that is no matter.

lot of good women in the world in

THE LOGICAL CANDIDArE.

In it's Comment on Politics depart
ment in a recent issue, and under the
caption Roosevelt Golfers present.
ed the following analysis of the situa-
ton surrounding the forthcoming Re-
publican presidential nomination:
IF ever the phrase logical candi-
date were justified it is applicable to
Roosevelt. The issues in the coming
campaign are going to be our into ma
tional relations. including Mexico;
preparedness; the economic questions
arising out of the conclusion of the
war. On these issues the one leader
who has been outspoken is Roosevelt
He expressed disappointment with
President Wilson's Mexican policy
from the beginning. Since the first
week of the European war Roosevelt
has been whole-hearted and contin-
uous in opposition to the policy of the
Democratic administration. In the
beginning this opposition of Roose
velts was unpopular and the presi-
dents course was popular. Such a
sentiment for preparedness as we now
have and such dissent from our for
eign policy as we now have has been
created almost wholly through Roose-
velt's leadership. The country has
measurably come around to his point
of view. For whatever portion of the
electorate dislikes President Wilson's
administration and wants TO vote for
it. Roosevelt is the logical candidate
Whether Roosevelt will be nomi-
mated by the Republicans or not de-
ponds upon whether the same leaders
who defeated him in 1912 are willing
to accept him now. The present feel
ing of these leaders can probably be
expressed with fair accuracy in the
following sentences: They would like
to nominate an old-fashioned stand
patter, preferably Root, and they
would nominate Root if they thought
he could be elected. But they realize
that no man can be elected unless he
can carry, in addition to the regular
Republican vote, the bulk of the Pro-
gressive party vote; and they know
Root cannot do this. These national
leaders know, of course, that Roose-
welt would surely carry the great bulk
of the Progressive vote. Since they
cannot have the man they would like,
they will probably look upon the
question quite cold-bloodedly and
name, as between Roosevelt and
Hughes, the man more likely to carry
the masses

ual crime, endemic in the whole vast
area of the south. Not mere surren-
der of the southern armies, but recon-
ciliation, was what had to be achieved
If Carranza had attained a similar
height of understanding, at the time
when President Wilson strove to bring
about conference of all factions. a
real peace might have been establish
ed. But Carranza thought he had the
situation we'll in hand. Submission,
not compromise, was his demand. In
legalistic theory what room is there
for compromise with the sovereign
will? In real life there is no abso-
Lutte sovereign will and all stable gov
eminent rests on compromise. This
Carranza did not see, and probably
never will see.

Everybody's Troubles
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Il suppose everybody has their trou-
bles," neighbor of mine said to me
the other day, with a sigh of pious
self-pity.
Her trouble is that her son is going
to marry and go away to live in city
a few hundred miles away. He is go
ing to have a fine position in that
city and he is marrying a splendid
girl and the mother has two other
children and means enough to visit
him occasionally, but she is one of
those women who do not like to see
their children marry. and she regards
it as an added injury that he should
be going so far away.
She is right. Everybody has their
troubles.
On the seat behind me in the trolley
the other day two girls were talking
about a third. Yes, isn't she the
cheerfullest thing?" one of them said.
'I never saw her down in the mouth.
Even when that little sister that she
was so crazy about died, she kept on
smiling. And what do you know p

All Her Savings Are Gone
Again, a friend of mine who, with
her husband, had worked hard all her
| life to accumulate a few savings has
| just passed through this experience:
Her husband was brought into court
on a charge made by a neighbor's
child. When the case came before
| the Grand Jury it was thrown out, be-
cause the evidence showed so plain
ly that the charge was entirely I'M
founded.
| But to hire lawyers and collect the
evidence took away all Mrs. HIS
savings. Moreover, everyone who
heard about the accusation did not
hear about his exoneration by the
Grand Jury
When 1 called one woman's atten-
| ton to the fact, she said, II suppose
his wife told you that. You must re-
member that's only one side of the
case" In other words, with the de-
sire to believe evil. which is one of
humanity's ugliest traits, this woman
still suspects him. And she, I sup
pose, is typical of many.
The wife was almost broken down
with worry and heartache over the
whole affair. In fact, she would have
entirely broken down if she had had
time. But she didn't. She had to go
on working and. to make relaxing

Willy Wood-rat is the most beauti-

good and kind Finery does not i1rn

the kindest and gentlest of all the
rat family, and that's more important
than being well dressed, isn't it? They
say that kindness makes one better

right For Willy Wood-rat has none
of that sly, mean look in his face
that makes us SO afraid of most MEM

But what has this nice Willy

He lives in ii.
But he wouldn't call it rubbish

Mrs. Wood-rat work very hard to
make it just as fine as ever nest

hard work to make that pile. Do
you wonder they are proud of it when
it is finished?
