is the sincerest form of flattery, that is why it pleases us to hear that other laundries claim to do work just like ours. It is a tribute to the excellence of our laudering which we fully ap- preciate. But why not have the origi- nal? Send us your washables and you won't have to say they are as perfect as ours. The work will be ours and the real thing.

WAGES AND PRICES.

In speaking of high prices for the necessaries of life
especially of food fuel and clothing, many persons are
likely to forget that before the there was steady
and at times alarming increase The caught prices
going up and they went higher Federal investigation
has shown that in many the not reason
or even the excuse except by inference Some dealers
merely saw in the abnormal conditions under which
they might ugge prices without being subjected to I'M
comfortable scrutiny by the public In some lines the
war created foreign demand and the increase in Amer-
can prices natural and with unrestricted trade in
evitable.
Another school of economists see in the abrupt adj
vance which cannot be explained the grounds of
conditions effort the part of the directors of
featuring enterprises to up the with organized
labor They maintain that about three years ago the
country ripe for shift of the burden of wage in.
crease Under industrial system free competition is
supposed to keep profits within reasonable limits hence
the theory is that wage increase will be passed on to
The consumer, and this is natural But it is argued that
wage increases are not always the determining factor
and that while wage increase may drive one producer to
increase the price of his product his competitor may hold
out, hoping to get larger share of the business.
The question Of whether high wages have caused high
prices whether high prices have led to the successful
demand for high wages is thus shown to depend upon
many factors that the economists who make sweeping
declarations to the effect that the workingman is only
paying the fiddler find themselves badly involved Wages
have undoubtedly cNerted great influence upon prices
Is not improbable that certain classes of producers have
systematically eXorod to unreasonable profit from the
public Yet these only two Of many factors and only
the economist Of the future can sec them all in their pro-
per light and pass judgment with anything like authority

LABOR DAY DISCREPANCIES.

When Labor day started it was established as an
occasion for consideration of the of labor Though
here and there orator holds forth this subject
for most people the for Labor day that 1t is
long time between holidays and they want one day Off
for fun.
Still in the cities where unions strong, the holiday
keeps something of its distinctive character with the
Labor day professions commonly held 1t is matter of
some pride when bunch of men toll all the year, with
clothes and skin sOed by the Crime of work. to enjoy
getting out occasionally dress parade There is
satisfaction in demonstrating to the home folks that they
have some style after ALL they march along wearing
some special insignia. Probably that is the motive
than a desire to OveraWa the capitalstic element.
It is surprising how it strengthens up to get out
in line and march behind band. He may SLOUGH he
goes home tired at night in his old Clothes but not
when the crowd looking at him. On exhibition in this way
the American mechanic is to be very substantial
type capable Of sustained physical effort and of ntel
gen. thought.
Demonstrations and parades Of artisans are common
the world In Europe they apt to end in riots
In this country riot is likely unless the umpire decides
against the home team in the ball game after the parade
The best wishes Of the country go out to its workers
for whom this holiday supposed to be established
Under fair minded and common sense leadership union
great power for good, and under nwise guidance it
has equal power for harm 1t is matter for congratula
ton Labor day that in spite Of all unrest have been
spared the harsher forms of labor disturbances and that
the great majority Of the artisan people get along pretty
comfortably with their employers.
