HIGH COST OF LIVING.

The one ghost that will not down before republican and democratic politicians is this wrath of the High Costs of living. It stands like a ,specter before the republican who wants 8 higher tariff, and it 1ostles the arm of the democratic orator who boosts the prosperity ana peace of the Wilson period and who brags about the enormous exports that have graced or disgraced 1t.
 It is deadly thing that unwraps the mummified ideals of capitalism and exposes the utter futility or such a system. It shows the work CTS, or it ought to show them, that they are up against a game they cannot beat try they ever so hard. Today they get shorter hours and higher wages, tomorrow the em-

It is an industrial revolt against industrial conditions that has taken place in Bayonne.
 Yet no politician has taken the opportunity to discuss industrial conditions these reports from Bavonne very well afforded
 Well may the people ask what are tbey going to do about it.
 In the Mesabi range the iron ore workers struck against another steel trust hell, and in New York trac- tion workers struck against enforced peonage.
 In the anthracite fields thirty thousand men are also on strike be- cause of damnable conditions under which they work.
 It is only a matter of time and social evolution, inevitable, certa1r and resistless, when these conditions of revolt will not be sporadic bu' organized and general

STRONG ARGtM MENI.

The Hearst papers are stoutIy de- mauding intervention in Mexico. A number of arguments are advanced to uphold this step.
 Hearst interests acquired some thing over one million acres Of land in Mexico for consideration from Pordrio Diaz.
 This land. it is estimated, would be wcrth roughly one hundred dol lars an acre if the United States took charge of Mexico.

HARMLESS.

About the most pleasing feature of this Great War is the complete harmlessness of the air raids. AS everyone knows the Zepp raids Ill Great Britain never hurt anyone but few old women and 1ew young children, probably that were better off dead than alive any way. And now it is blessing to Know that Berlin states the much Vaunteo Allied raid upon the Essen worKs did no damage at all and merely in- terfered with few children at play.
 Why do the both sides persist i'll denouncing the inhumanity of ar raids when they are so utterly and completely harmless?

ployer gets it back by the higher costs of living.
 The greater the grip which the monopolists gain upon the necessi' ties of life, the more perfect can be their price manipulations. And for the higher costs of living reducing the workers to lower standards with unfailing certainty not single politician in any party has a reme- dy to offer. None dare molest the ownership which accounts for these things. There's a reason.
