OUR DANGEROUS GROUND.

As milht have been expected, the
increasing cost Of many articles OF
common use is provoking a desperate
protest from every quarter. We are
free to confess that In n great many

in an era of phenomenal high prices
and the imminouce of war was bound
to make them higher The law of
supply and demand cannot Doe circum-
vented by any device that human in
genuity has yet discovered. when
ever more people want thing than
those producing 1t can satisfy, the
price Of that articles goes up; whom
ever the production gets ahead OF the
consumers wants the price goes
down and all the kings horses and
all the kings men cannot make II do

government decreeing fixed prices for
This and that as tho the men we
elected 90 serve us had power to con-
trovert the laws of nature. We look
upon government as machine to

ever cause they may spring. But
every time the government takes n
hand in such an absurd effort the
result turns out more burdensome for
the people than II 1t had been let
alone.
But there is one thing the govern

time. but more particularly at the
present time, and that is the dispo-

OF the war department and Adjutant

organization. During the past week

the governor from WASHINGTON re-.
questlng that the new regiment be or.

there will be a lively scramble among

cure these organizations. Adjutant
General Tharalson urges that any
town which desires to have a home
