GOING THE LIMIT
By SCOTT NEARING.

The business world is using the
war demand to go the limit. In every
direction profits are soaring as prices
rise. Patriotism is no bar. The
wealth owners of the country display
the most sordid Indifference to any
thing that interferes with a good re-
turn on the investment.
So critical is the situation that one
Wall Street paper protests in recent
issue, that the business men are going
too far.
"The price of steel products con-
tinues to advance. Billets rose an
other S5 a ton last week. The aver
age price of eight steel products now
stands at s99.29 as compared with
SO the same time last year and
s32.S3 the corresponding week in 1915.
Pig iron at last has gone beyond the
$50 level. This, too, in spite of a
production of SAT- $40 tons in May,
with one exception the largest month
ly production on recordi The fur
naces have had difficulty in obtaining
coke or the production of pig undoubt-
edly would have broken all records.
"Still it is difficult to justify the
increase in price. The cost of pro-
duction surely does not warrant it.
"The prediction is made now that
prices may soar to almost any limits.
They have been rising in the last
month with a rapidity that is simply
frightening. There is no reason when
the country is at war and the demand
for steel greater than ever before,
why the government and private con-
sumers should pay prices 100 or 200
per cent in excess of the cost of pro-
ducing iron and steel Charging what
the traffic will bear might have had
some justification before we were at
war. Now it is utterly indefensible.
If steel prices are going higher simply
because the mills are able to put
them higher it is time the govern
ment set a maximum price for steel.
After all the country at large is the
sufferer from this sort of extortion,
be it directed at the government or
private consumer. And both are the
victims"
The protest is not very vigorous
not nearly as vigorous as it might be
made, but it shows that even the
wiser heads among the business men
are beginning to cry stop thief"
lest they kill the goose that is laying
the golden eggs.
The soldiers at the front hear the
command from their country -
Eight" The people who stay at
home and the government that is di-
recting the war, hear from the vested
interests of the United States, the
command, "Pay!"-and thev both pay.

IN MEMORY.


Dedicated to Sept. s, 1910
Beneath the waving sod there lies
In his last resting place,
John Barleycorn. In peace he rests
In grim deaths cold embrace.
Beneath the weeping willow tree,
Beside the babbling brook,
He lies in peace fore'er-
John Barleycorn, the crook.
No gentle hands were there to soothe
His fever-heated brow;
No loving hearts in anguish torn
Watch DER his cold grave now.
From mem'ry gone. not missed by one,
He's slipped fore'er away.
The spring winds gently kiss the flow
ers
That Ger his grave have grown,
But who is there that cares or minds
Where his black soul has flown?
Who cares to meet him face to face?
Who mourns because he's dead?
Who is there that would have him
live?
Who curses him with dread?
Who bends his head in sorrows grief
Who sheds the anguish'd tear?
We1l rather celebrate his death
With hearts o'erfull with thanks,
And better still We'll mark the day
With well-filled savings banks.
