HIGH COST OF LIVING

One reaso why prices of all products in this country, agricultural
and manufactured, are so high is because we have such an abundance of
money.
When money is scarcep products of the field and factory offered in X
change for it must take what they ca get, especially if such products be
plentiful
to create some scarcity at home and has Sc increased IL store OF gold
that money has become a drug on the market. Our stock of gold now
amounts to than W and half billion dollars, which is vastly more
than yer before, and more than II other country ever had. When the
stock of gold increased, its relative value decreased. and consequently the
price of everything W e al and everything we wear is increased. But we
ought not to complain of the plethora Of money and the high grade Of
prosperity which our farmers and manufacturers are enjoying. except in
so far as imposition is practcod upon consumers by spectators and
monopoists who advance prices unduly through combinations in RESTRAINT
Of trade and by storing food stufs in order to create ar artificial scarcity
and thus keep up the high prices.
The government is investigating conditions and may be able to afford
som relief through enforcement of the antitrust laws, but it is probable
that Sc long as W e continue to feed the world and to supply the worlds
wants as W have been doing since the beginning OF the world war, and
so long a. We continue the high living which always results from too
much money. the high prices will remain with us and with a tendency to
further advance-San Antonio Express.

NOT ALL REPUBLICANS BAD

Every policy of the Wilson administration thus far enacted into law
has had Republican support in congress.
Nine Republicans in the house voted for the Underwood tariff; As
Republicans voted for the Banking and Currency act; Sc Republicans vt-
ed for the Clayton Antitrust act; "a Republicans voted for the Panama
Ship Subsidy Tolls Repeal: los Republicans voted for the Rural Credits
act; 7 Republicans voted for the Ship Purchase act; 1870 Republicans vt-
ed for the Workmens Compensation act, and l03 Republicans voted for
the War Revenue act. The Philippine bill, like the Army and Navy APP
preparation bills, providing hundreds of millions for national defense, was
passed practically by reclamation. In the senate there a similar Re-
publican approval of every me of these measures.
Strangely enough, the three policies of the Democratic administra-
ton which have been most savagely criticised by Republicans in this am
pagn are those involved in the experimental settlement of the eight-hour
controversy, the attitude of the state department on the subject of Ger
man submarine warfare and hostility to Huerta's assassinaions and
usurpaton in Mexico.

~CARLSTROM'S FEAT

While Vcaor Carlsrom, the aviator, "a disappointed in his attempt
to fly from Chicago to New York without stopping, states the New York
World, the feat he performed a so remarkable as to assure him the
honor of establishing a ley American record. But for a leak in his gaso-
line tank, due t O a missing tap, which forced him TO land at Erie, Pa. it
is altogether probable that he would have succeeded. As it was, for owe
four and a quarter hours he maintained an average speed of 116 miles N
hour before he W a. compelled to descend. and then after a brief stop he
continued 80 miles further his eastward flight.
The long-dIstance test by Carlirom, under the auspices of the Times
is a very practical demonstration of the progress of aviation. SO much
attention has been given to the circus stunts Of aerial performers that It is
er speed, stability and duration OF recent flights. 1t is practicable today
for the trained aviator in comparative safety to OUTRAGE the fastest express
train without taxing his engine and to cover distances few hgh-powered
automobiles reach on the best track.
1t will not be ieag before Canstrom Or some other aviator will make
the nonstop fight from Chicago to New York.

BOYS AGRICULTURAL CLUBS

Interest in boys agricultural clubs is increasing throughout the coun-
try What began modesty IS a local movement designed to stimulate the
interest of a few boys in farming has become national in its scope. Amaz-
ing results have been secured and row a boys club may be found in near
y every progressive community.
Marius Malgren, a Virginia boy who grew the record corn yield last
Year, has inspired juvenile farmers throughout the length and breadth Of
this big country. Marius got 200 bushels and forty pounds of corr from
one acre, which is five times the average of the, middle west.
He won the state championship of Virginia, half a dozen prizes and
two suits OF clothes. Also he sold some of his corn at So a bushel for
seed. Encouraged by his achievement, Marius has put in most of his
spare time this year studying the scientific phases of agriculture with a
view Of producing $50 bushels OF corn from his acres. Adult farmers
could advanageously emulate thit l4-year-o1d youngser.

president Wilson's Views on the Rail-

WASHINGTON. Aug. 19.-PresIdent
Wilson's views regarding the contro-
Versy between the railroad employees
and companies were set forth today I'm
the following statement issued from
the White House:
Il have recommended the conces-
sion OF the eight-hour day that is, the
substitution OF an eight-hour day for
the present ten-hour day I'm all the
existing practices and agreements.
made this recommendation because |
believe the concession right The
cight-hour day now undoubtedly has
the sanction OF the judgment OF So
| ciety In It's favor and should be adopt-
cd as basis for wages even where
the actual work TO be done cannot be
completed within eight hours.
Concerning the adjustments which
should be made, in Justice to the rail-
roads and their stockholders, I'm the
payments and privileges to which
their men are now entitled 0f such
wide divergence OF opinion
THE railroads which have already
adopted the eight-hour day do not
seem to be at any serious dlsadvan-
tage in respect of their cost OF opera
ton as compared with the railroads
that have retained the ten-hour day.
and calculations as TO the cost OF the
/ change must, II made now. be made
without regard to any possible admin

tain what rcarrangements would be

OF the men or on behalf of the rail
roads. That experience would be g

morce Commission, for example, I'm
determining whether. as a consequence
OF the change. 1t would be necessary
and right TO authorize an increase OF
rates for the handling and carrying OF
freight Cfor passenger service Is not
affeCtcd).
Il therefore proposed that the de-
mand for extra pay for overtime
made by the men and the contingent
proposals OF the railroad authorities
be postponed until facts shall have
taken the place Of calculations and
forecast with regard TO the effects of
change 20 the eight-hour day. that in

Congress at the earliest possible
