Cedar Rapids uazette: Regardless
of the fact that seven states haze
joined the prohibition column since
June /, 1915, the production OF whis-
kew in the United States has increas-
ed 10000 gallons the year, while
the production of beer has fallen off

1t would appear that the amount OK
alcohol being consumed is as large
or larger than formerly. To the whis-
key production should be added the
homemade alcoholic beverages, much
affected in the south, on which no
revenue is paid and OF which the gov
eminent takes no account.

Birds and Men.

Hartford Courant: None OF the
wild birds in New England is as near
ly domestic as the robin and no
other bird fits into the scenery bet
ter or is more welcome in spring. It
is a bird of uncomfortable courage or
it would not arrive here before the
snow leaves. and it develops a fine
sense of ownership. No millionaire
surveying his private park can look
the part of the proprietor better than
can the robin when it revisits d lawn
with which it was familiar the sum-
mer before. 1t expects to find worm
exactly where it found one last year,
and as rule, it is not disappointed
1t looks at the human who may own
the lawn and, possibly, remarks:
There's the man who was here last
year" just as the man who tries to
think that the robin is the one he
saw in 1915.
After all, the bird and the man are
much alike: the bird has 4 brief
period of love making and nest build
ing, and then it works from sunrise
till sunset to care for the family So
does the man, If he is the right sort.
Fall comes and the bird faces the
possibilities of starvation or Of sud
den death from some OF its enemies,
and the man faces the increasing pos
sibilities of pneum onia or apoplexy.

PRICES, WAGES; WAGES, PRICES.

According to the latest reports from the an
thracite district of Pennsylvania, the ten-mli-
! lion dollar wage increase and the elght-mll-
Ion-dolar additional cost reproduction caused
in part by the workmen s compensation law, Is
likely to bring the price Of coal IN the domestlc
markets to the highest figures since the coal
famine of fourteen years ago. Inc wage III
crease alone, the mine operators estimate, VIII
increase the mining cost seventeen cents ton.
The consumer without much searching OF mem
ory can recall instances where the increased
price at the mines grew at astonishing speed on
the journey to his bins.
This prospect of a rise in the price OF coal
has been commented upon with some alarm
throughout the country, and there IS the ola,
sneering reference to 'slaying the burden on
the consumer But where else can the bur
den be laid? As a matter of plain arithmetic
and plain business, can the consumer expect
the producer and the dealer to strip their nor
NAL profits every time wages the cost OF ma
terial 90 up? OF course the burden will be on
the consumer And if railroad operating goes
up. there, too the consumer will pay. Every
dollar in wage increase must find It's way to the
consumers BILL Indirectly if not directly. In
the last ten wears of price increases 1T is strange
indeed that the consumer has not come to I'M
derstand that
But wages must go up; it is part OF the pro-
cess-the process Of increasing capital and IN
creasing production and elevating the stand
ards Of living. The consumer must understand
that, too Higher wages, higher prices; higher
prices, higher wages. The process has been in
operation for some hundreds of years. The
great problem is to get wages up to the level OF
costs and remove the wage earner's cause OF
complaint This has seldom been accomplished.
1t is not being accomplished in the mining
regions today.

A Nawsnaper Crisis.

Iowa City Citizen: Publishers OF
daily newspapers are finding the ques-
ton on the price OF paper growing
no better, with the latest prophecies
for still further advance. The heavy
demand for all kinds of material that
enter into paper making, caused by
the European war, already has
brought an advance of about 5000 per
carload in the kind of paper used in
printing the Citizen, with the posi-
bility that the advance movement
may continue long enough to make an
additional cost of $1,000 carload.
The head of the paper company with
which The Citizen had its last con-
tract recently visited the mills to
study the situation, and reports that
the manufacturers will not guarantee
delivery OF print paper at any price
and are talking of five cent price
before any relief comes, which would
be slightly more than $1,000 per car.
The Citizen has been using between
four and five carloads per year of
print, and it is easy to figure the pos
sihle loss in the future and the GER
tain loss now. The publisher of The
Press, OF this city tells US that he
lost $50 last week by waiting four
days after receiving quotation on
a car lot before sending in the sorder.
which gives an indication Of the ra-
pidity Of the advance.
1t is evident the dailies In the small
cities are confronted with crisis in
the news print situation. Their adj
vertising rates are too low to afford
such margin between the cost OF
setting and handling advertisements
and the price they charge for the
space. to absorb any such an Increase
in the cost Of material. If they are to
continue in business and serve their
communities as in the past they must
increase their advertising rates. the
principal source of revenue, sufficient
ly to take up at least part OF the ad-
vance

An Incident,

Greater Iowa: Character is shown
in the little things Of life. the natural.
unstudied impulses that spring from
the heart on the spur OF the moment.
II is easy to do brave deeds when the
band is filling the air with inspiring
melody and the rainbow t1nts OF the
spotlight glorify the actor; but quite
another matter to strive when there
is none to applaud or appreciate. fe
editor witnessed an incident recent
lly that went far to strengthen MS
faith in human nature, faith some
times sadly disturbed, but chung TO
nevertheless.
It was during the noon hour upon
one of the busiest streets OF Des
Moines. Everybody was in hurry
Street cars were changing and grind
ing. Traffic of all kinds. autos, trucks,
moving vans and vehicles OF every de.
scription incident to pleasure and
business. crowded the street from
curb to curb. 1t was an endless pro-
cession. A big, six-passenger auto
rolled swiftly up cross street. a
slender, sunny-faced woman scarcely
out of her teens sat at the steering
wheel and chatted over her shoulder
with two companions in a rear seat.
A blind man hesitated at the curb,
tapping the pavement with his cane
! while listening to the roar OF passing
traffic. A coarse, half-filled sack over
one shoulder indicated his occupation,
that Of rag picker. His clothes were
Shabby and soiled. He was old and
i shut out forever from the beauties OF
the earth and faces Of friends. The
woman at the wheel saw him and
stopDed the machine Hopping MINI
bly to the pavement, she ran swiftly
across the street, lodging the cars
and vehicles like free-striding boy.
A question or two. an assuring WORD
of explanation and she led the OLD
man to the big machine and slowed
him comfortably in the seat at ner
side.
It was little thing, over in min.
ute. and the machine whirling swiftly
away in the direction the rag picker
had been plodding. 1t was so beau
tiful, so spontaneous and, we regret
to say, SO unusual! 1t told the few
who noted it all they needed to
know of the sunny-faced woman. A
big. bluff individual who had been an
interested observer Of the scene blew
his nose with unnecessary vigor,
swore and remarked, while hts eyes
were suspiciously moist: Thank
God FIR a girl likt that She's got a
heart in 'er big as church" That
picture, the beautifully dressed wom-
an and the soiled rag picker, will
linger long in the memory OF the
few who saw it. Let us hold fast to
faith in human nature and Thank
God f'r girls like that"
