HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.

The New York Times usually speaks
with authority when it discusses bust
ness affairs. Now it records the en-
couraging thought that prices seem
20 have reached the apex in their adj
vance and that from now on they must
come down.
There have been reasons for some
price increases. But too generally
the large producing agencies have
been making profits out Of proportion
to capital invested cost of raw ma
terials or demands of labor. Uncle
Sam has met the pinch of the high
prices. And it is because he objects
to paying them that there is hope for
the rest of US.
The War Industries Board is pre-
pairing to make those undue prohts
come down from their naughty heights.
One suggested method of attacking
the problem was that of fixing profits
on raw materials and staple products.
The industries board began with tex
tiles and wool in particular. Wool
has been put on the basis of the market
prices of July 81 last,
Fears of higher prices in the cloth
inx industry are therefore said to be
unjustified. And in regard to various
other commodities the situation is
still more hopeful.

THE BLAME ON CONGRESS-.

THE effective prosecution of the
war involves of necessity certain re-
strictions in our accustomed freedom.
We still have confidence in the ade-
quacy of the courts to punish treason
and sedition Congress has ample au-
thority to provide for the punishment
OF seditious utterances as we'll as Sc
ditious acts"
These words spoken by the eminent
jrrist, Chas e. Hughes, to the Ameri-
can newspaper publishers in New
York City, show the situation in a
nutshell But they are a little easy
on Congress.
Having the authority to provide
legislation which the country impera-
lively needs, Congress has had the
matter before it for many months with
out doing anything. The department
of justice is in despair over situation
in which it's hands are tied The pub
lie is indignant and cannot under
stand the failure of 1.-The government
to suppress sedition and punish flag
rant offenders. And congressman still
bubble about the danger to Ameri-
can freedom and constitutional rights
involved in legislation for the very
lack of which our freedom is threaten
ed and our constitution undermined.
AS long as Congress refuses to pro-
vide the legal means of stamping out
this evil, Congress itself is encourag-
ing sedition

THE COMMENCEMENT SEASON.

In a college that has always prided
itself on its respect for academic at
mosphere, one of the oldest collegiate
traditions has been swept away. For
the first time, the senior class will
not wear the cap and gown on COM
mencement day All the graduates
will be dressed in the uniform of mill
tary cadets
The innovation is typical of the
change that has come about in Ameri-
college. They are on a war basis.
To their everlasting credit, it should
be recognized that they put themselves
on that basis voluntarily the moment
the United States entered the war, and
have ever since maintained spirit
of patriotic helpfulness and prepared
ness.
In the college mentioned the num-
Der of men who will march up in
khaki to receive their diplomas is
small That is because two-thirds If
the class are already wearing Uncle
Sans full uniform. That is the case
in nearly every institution of higher
learning.
Most students old enough or strong
enough enlisted as soon we declared
war. Many of them were in France as
Red Cross assistants before that.
Those who are left are nearly all I'M
dergoing military training. They
have entered zea1ously into every sort
If war activity in their local communi-
ties, such as selling Liberty Bonds,
raising Red Sross funds, stimulating
enlistments, etc And along with this
abnormal activity, they have carried
on their college studies about as usual,
in order to fit themselves for the big
work which they know will be ex-
pected of educated men hereafter.
If any American institution has
justified it's existence in this trying
time, it is the American college. If
any type of American has proved his
worth, it is the college student whom
a cynical public has SO often abused
and ridiculed.

something of the same sort with

Poles are serving under compulsion

A SORRY SPECTACLE.

The Macon Telegraph and the At
ianta Constitution have served an eA-
ceilent rurpe sc in exposing u tie
people ef georgia the duplici.y ana
&C BLEED. arg of one William Schley
Toward. Atlanta's self-infated con
gresham and personally-selected can
didate for the United States 3elh'e.
i mas f;tn demonstrated that this
young man promised the president he
would not run for the Senate, and
that he not only later announced, but
also sought to create the impression
that he had the presidents support
This promptly brought rebuke from
the president who called for correc-
ton of the statement, with the result
that the Atlanta Constitution pub
lished a card from Howard. In this
card, the young Atlanta congressman
tried to make it appear that the Con-
stitution's Washington correspondent
had misunderstood him.
The most significant feature of the
card. however, was the statement that
the president had told him that he pre-
ferred William J. Harris from among
all the candidates for the United
States Senate.
Howard belongs in the ranks of
mediocrity, being just an average con.
gresham and nothing more He is
distinctively a demagogue, always
playing to the labor and farmer vote.
A most notorious and reprehensible
instance of this was his introduction
of bill to relieve the farmers from
military service-meant as a sop to
them, but really an insult to their in
telligence and an attack on their pa
triotism Howard is a minnow, and
is the sorriest candidate Atlanta has
ever offered for any Office.
He is running. apparently, judging
from the tenor of his wild and scat
tering remarks, mostly to oppose W
J Harris, and in the hope of thwart-
ing that able gentleman's candidacy.
This is no doubt part of the Atlanta
scheme of revenge upon Mr.. Harris
for not having solicited it's consent
before announcing-Atl being rep
resented by a coterie of professional
politicians who aspire to dominance
over public affairs.
William Schley Howard has been
shown up as a sorry spectacle.

Free speech is priceless, and criti-

for many years the fate of civilization
trembled in he balance. remained
bravely at home and criticised the ad-
ministration."

THURST0N, PEER OF MAGAC|ANS, BOOKED
 FOR ENTIRE WEEK
Will Give Eight Perform ances at the Jefferson Beginning Monday
 Matinee

The much heralded performance of Thurston. the magician, will material ize at the Jefferson theatre this week, starting tomorrow matinee with ad- ditional matinees Wednesday and Sat- urday A special holiday matinee will be given tomorrow.
 The event is of more than passing interest to theatregoers. There is no form of entertainment which appeals more potently to the public than magic, and to Thurston is due the credit of bringing 1t to its highest expression. During the summer months Mir. Thurs ton maintained his entire staff of ass sistants together with number of ex- pert mechanics at his mammoth work shops and scenic studio at Beech hurst L. l., to build new tracks and illu- sions that are a part of his perform ance this year.
 Hermann, Kellar and then Thurston These represent the really great ma gicians of our country and age. Of these only Thurston remains large in the public eye. Nowadays the pres, tidigitateur must be much more than that term once implied He must do big things and carry an entertainment that has the aroma of stifling mys- tery, the odor of the ancient orders of Hindu and Persian wonder workers. and at the same time enter the field of American modern life and do things that stump scientists, experts, profess sors and the general public.
 He has given new life and added 70 many brilliant sensations to his programme this season that the art of magic has been fairly revolutionized. The charm of newness applies to the entire programme. The scope of the Thurston operations is indicated by the titles of his mysteries, the more nota- ble of them are "The Master Effects of Spirit Mediums Mephisto's Daugh- ter" "Do the Spirits Come Backes Every Woman's Wish," The Artists Dream" and a remarkable scenic sketch presented by a cast of IS peo- rle called Villa Captured" showing realistic race betw cen an automobile and motorcycle.
