Little Rockville rapidly widening
lake in southeastern Arkansas, form
ed by the flood waters of the Arkan-
sa river pouring through breaks in
the levees, had engulfed score of
towns, leaving several thousand per-
sons homeless. Sixteen lives have
been lost in the last few days, and
damage that probably will run into
hundreds of thousands of dollars has
resulted in the rich farming territory.
Still greater damage is feared If the
Mississippi continues to rise as in the
last few days. Predicated stages at
Arkansas City would endanger the le-

ious situation in the river valley.
All day the 700 men who remained
in Arkansas City toiled in an effort
to strengthen the levees against the
fast rising waters and they were
hopeful that the levees would hold and
the town be saved. The narrow strip

been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to

WHY SUGAR IS HIGH.

Last week The Labor World printed a story about
the high price of sugar. We also printed a state
ment issued by the sugar trust showing that the
production cost of this commodity had been lowered
to minimum. Yet Duluthians are paying ten cents
d pound for sugar.
{ When your grocer asks you ten cents a pound
for sugar that half that sum- he will prob
ably tell you that it the '*war'' that raised
candy for the kids anything else with sugar in it
you will be informed that the reason the price has
doubled is because sugar has gone up.
The sugar trust of the first of the great
combinations to be formed. When it was organized
number of refneries closed because economies
could be sold at few of the refneries Then stock
issued to several times the value of all the prop

STRAY THOUGHTS.

The United States just now is full of politics,
European war talk the latest books and plays labor
troubles and what-not But now and then the aver
age mans thoughts will dwell on other things, some
beautiful scenery, picture, or work of art And
this leads back to politics.
And we wonder if the other fellow is as bad as
we paint him. We have come to the conclusion that
he is not 1t takes all kinds Of people to make the
world and each of has his or her allotted place
to fiji.
We are not all narrow minded. We can annre.
ciate the fact that the average standpa person real
~ and sincerely believes he is in the right And it is
a good thing: 1t this government of ours, which is
called the Great Experiment, went along the lines
that radicals suggest we woul dbe annihilated
And II our government went along the lines the
That radicals suggest soon would be annihilated
Our public positions should be filled by real pro-
gresslye but well-balanced men. Men who are will
ing to 60 just foot in advance of the conservatives
and foot in the of the radicals The world
was not made in day and neither is government
OF the people, by the people, and for the people.
We arc gradually laundering forward.
The time will come when people will obev laws
lnstlnctvey not because they are on the law books
And when that time comes the laws will be abol-
lshed. The millennium will be here.
But that time is long way off and it is up to
everyone of to do his or her little share toward
Fastening that end.
AND IN justice to the conservatives they are doing
their share. They are the balancing power for the
radicals. Without them the government would, no
doubt, go too far. And without the radicals. the
conservatives would 60 back to the good old days.
80, as we said before, we come to the conclusion
that it takes all kinds Of people to make the world
and each has his or her allotted place.
After we are gone the big questions will be: "Did
ne make the world little better place for the rest
OF us land did he fill the place allotted to him. to
the best of his ability?''
And the final conclusion Of this editorial is that
the other fellow isn't half as bad as we think he is,
because he has his work to do
