NO LACK OF EMPLOYMENT
~ HE following editorial on
VI "The Empty Dinner Pail''
=; fuo,,o +oo Noyu Work

NJ HE following editorial on
VI "The Empty Dinner Pail'
is from the New York
Commercial" a conservative
financial journal:
No better proof of the pros
perity of the whole country can
be given than the absence OF
talk about the empty dinner
pail. The only workpeople
out of employment are those on
strike, and even the garment
workers Of New York could
find plenty to do if they would
turn to something else or go
elsewhere. There is no lack OF
work, and lack of employment
is due to labor troubles. Those
who have left the ammunition
factories and powder mills find
/ it easy to get other work.
In the midst Of this election
campaign the unemployed
would be exploited as they
were in previous presidential
years if there were any. All
/ the terrors Of coming ruin are
blazoned on the pages of par
tizan newspapers but no photo
/ graphs of women and children
starving and homeless because
the factories are closed are on
exhibition. Never before in llv-
ing memory has the full dinner
pail failed to materialize as a
campaign cry. The pail is full
to overflowing this year and is
| likely to remain so.
1t is probable that prices OF
merchandise will decline when
peace is restored in Europe, but
lower prices will stimulate con-
sumption and lower the cost OF
living. Labor costs will have
to come down with manufac.
tured goods but labor will be
iust as well off if the same

in his native land while men
who live beyond the borders OF
Mexico are his masters.
Is it any wonder there has
been revolution in Mexico and
that the land question is at the
bottom of the struggle? Are
men to be blamed when they
fight for their existence?
Is President Wilson to be
blamed because he has refused
to join hands with these great
landholders and help them per-
petuate an injustice upon a
nation?
Is he open to censure because
he has thrown the weight of
his office on the side of those
who fight to free the Mexican
people from slavery?
Even if the president has
erred at times with reference
to Mexico is it not better that
he has erred on the side of hui
manity rather than on the side
Of oppression?
But what of the political
party that is striving to make
the Mexican question an issue
against the president; is it not
monstrous that a presidential
campaign in the United States
should be waged on the issue
that the people of a neighbor
| ing country should be kept pau
perized and densely ignorant
for the benefit of any handful
of men, Americans or other
wise?

CAN THEY AFFORD SUCH

n OUR seventh Of the wealth
of Mexico is owned in the
~ United States. For the
most part this great prosperity
was not secured by moral or
legitimate means. 1t was OBJ
tanned under the Diaz regime
by corruption. William R.
Hearst has an estate that is
equal to one-fourth the area Of
the state of Oregon. Harrison
Gray Otis, owner of the Los
Angeles Times, has an estate
that is even larger. Charles 2.
Taft. brother of our eX-presi-
dent. has $4,000 square miles

These vast estates, obtained
in such manner. constitute a

mon steel products now worth
SAT to $50 a ton can be pro-
duced at a profit of $40 a ton
less and a lower price would
certainly help the building
trades and manufacturers OIL
agricultural implements, ma
chinery, automobiles, locomo-
tives, steel railroad cars and
tools of all descriptions, pro
vided the country remained
prosperous. Inflated prices do
not help domestic business any
more than do Improbable
prices. Fair prices are best for
all though business men natu-
rally and properly sell in the
best market. The point to be
kept in sight is that declines
from the high levels now pre-
vailing should not disturb con-
fidence, but should lead to eX-
pansion.
Every workman, every man.
ufacturer, farmer, every busl-
ness man should accumulate a
i
cash surplus while wages and
profits are phenominally high.
When business is readjusted to
changed conditions those who
have ready cash and good
credit will find as rich oppor-
| tunities as have been offered
to them in the past eighteen
months if they are ready to
seize them. The future will
look brighter the day after the
November elections no matter
which side wins. After the
war is over we will have two or
three years of good trade IN
peace products including live
stocks, cotton and other agrl-
cultural products while the re-
storation of Europe is in pro-
gress.. If labor co-operateS
with capital the dinner pail
will be we'll filled during that

that will depend on the enter
prise and foresight of American
business men and the use we
make of the vast wealth we are
now accumulating.

CHAPTER III.

~ 1ltI TTSTT t1VQNSHs
81 The first OF April in the Mount
Mark parsonage was a time OF trial
and tribulation, frequently to the ex-
tent OF weeping and gnashing OF teeth.
The twins were no respecters of per-
( sons, and feeling that the first of
April rendered all things justif1able
sto all men, they made life as burden
some to their father as to Connie, and
Fairy and Prudence lived in state
of perpetual anguish until the twins
fell asleep at night well satisfied but
worn out with the days activities. The
twins were bordering closely to the
n first stage Of grown up womanhood,
\ but on the first of April they swore
they would always be young! The
tricks were more dignifled more care
fully planned and scientifically exc
cuted than in the days of their rollick-
ing girlhood-but they were all the
more heart breaking on that account
The week before the first was spent
BY Connie in a vain effort to ferret
out their plans in order that fore
knowledge might suggest sufficient
safeguard. The twins, however, were
too clever to permit this, and their
/ bloody schemes were wrapped in Inys-
terry and buried in secrecy. On the
thirty-frst Of Mardh, Connie babored
