THE GRENADA SENTINEL
THE WAR BETWEEN BUYER AND SELLER.

These are times that make one think long thoughts. The
world is beset by the greatest war in all its history and even
in this country of peace and plenty. prices for the necessities OF
life are out of all reason. Somebody is being caught between
the upper and the neither milestone while others regale in the
profits they are realizing on commodities they did not make.

read of commissions for this and of commissions for that and Of
turists' output. Naturally every one desires the highest prices
for what he has for sale and equally natural does the purchaser

near future that the national, government must enlarge the

rights into the scrap heap. We shall not be surprised to see
in a few years the government hXin gthe price of all food stuff,
varying these prices. of course, to suit changed economic and
crop conditions. The consumer must be protected while at the
same time the producer. the maker. is entitled to a legitimate
profit. The vital question will be then what is a Legitimate
by saying what is a legitimate charge for the use of money.

JUST A tt TOO FAR.

We are Of the opinion that the real friends of prohibition.
those who have fought its battles for these months and years
past. are allowing its enemies to step in and place a clause in
The bill now before Congress that is too drastic. The enemies
Of prohibition. now that they see that they are whipped and
driven to the last ditch. are trying to make prohibitionists out
prohibit themselves. We have long been a consistent advocate
of prohibition. We have been against the saloon interests be-
cause it has been against everything that pertains to the peace
of the home and to the good order and prosperity of the COM
munity. But we have never been a fanatic on the subject.
Some way should be provided to get whiskey for medical pur-
poses. Uncle Sam can provide a way and hedge it about with
restrictions enough to keep the privilege from being abused.
We repeat that the proposition before Congress goes too
lar and we fear in the end will cause a backward step in the
cause of prohibition. The "bone dry clause was offered by
those who have antagoniZed the movement at every step and
the real friends OF prohibition in Congress should have seen the
rap and have been brave enough to oppose it.

that President Wilson does not want war with any power.
We also feel sure that he shudders at even the possibility of
war. Equally sure are we that a vast majority of the American
people are willing to trust the President and believe that he
will not suffer this country drawn into the bloody European
strife If it can be avoided.
The vast majority of the citizenship of this country are
indifferent about the destruction of life on the high seas because
they never even see the Oceans themselves and because they
think that our people should stay at home and keep off Of
vessels that traverse the danger zone. Even a greater number
are indifferent as to the destruction of property on the high
seas Tor the reason that they believe the vessels and the prop
erty destroyed are owned by big commission houses and big
corporations and that the greatest beneiciaries, commercially,
