AFTER. THE WAR, WHAT?

When the war Is over will we 20
back to the old way OF doing bust
ness? VIII we go back to the food
pirates. and the stock -gambling, and
the general robbery Of the public, or
will we insist on government regula.
ton Of business? OF one thing we
may. however, rest assured-what-
ever bears the stamp of class legisla-
ton. whatever smacks Of favoritism
must go. and this applies to all lines
of industry. The farmer cannot ex-
pect to go on enjoying special priv
ileges, for the consumer will not be
held up for his bread, his meat and
his other food supplies The people
do want the producer, however, to
get the full benefits Of his labor, and
the millions taken from the consum-
er that has been going to a pbarasit-
ic middle class that neither plants,
sows nor reaps, but wakes fat at the
expense Of both the producer and the
consumer. ought to find its way into
the producers pocket. That far we
must go by law, II need be. And It
ought not add. but rather should de-
crease the cost Of living for the con-
sumer. We ought to eliminate much
of the present economic waste, and
the lessons learned in this war ought
to point the way for fair. equitable

AS you ate your Thanksgiving din
| ner, In this land Of peace and plenty,
did you have a thot of others less
fortunate? Did you say in your
heart that whatever blessings you
and yours have enjoyed are all the
result of your own efforts, and that
no unseen power, or God, had any
thing to do with 1t? Were you fair?
You may have titled the soil and
planted the seed, and cultivated the
crop. but what power fashioned the
earth and created? What power put
the germ of life into the seed. and
made it reproduce itself according to
law that man did not make? For in
spite of his puny efforts man has no
hand in the making of crops, except
In small way Nature supplies the
rain and the sunshine and the soil
while man can only use what God
has created for man, and man has
to work with God. And then man
swells up In his own pride and says:
Il raised this crop; did 1t!
But what If God had gone on a
strike? What if the sun had with
held its warmth and light. and the
law of vegetable growth. Gods part
in the growing of crop. had been
suspended. just for a little while,
what kind of crop would you, Mr..
Man. have had worth Dragging
about?
