One of the keenest inward delights in life is enjoyment of
music. This S because it has an emotional appeal as well as an
intellectual And it is through our emotions that we derive our
most intense pleasures.
Music is a natural resource, one which is shared by every
one, But unless cultivated ones taste for il gradually becomes
dulled until finally it becomes, as the scientists say, atrophied.
Unhappy is the person who has lost his power to enjoy music.

They are looking forward to the

All Germans in Spain are plentifully

WANTED-A POLICY

Congress spends considerable time
debating as TO whether the war is
over, but that Is about as far as the
law-making body appears to get.
The ship of state Is floundering in
choppy seas, and with the pilot in
Europe there appears to be no way
of steadying the wobbly craft.
It is doubtful II there has ever
been u time when there have been
so many Inconsistencies in Govern.
ment as now. The food and fuel
administrations, which were deemed
so essential, are crumbling. The
War Labor Board is practically on
the shelf. notwithstanding the fact
that contracts for war work have
been cancelled, throwing vast armies
of workmen out Of employment and
threatening the credit OF many con.
Germs that have dropped everything
in order TO serve their country.
Government control of prices has al.
most passed. The total cost of the
war for America, up to November,
was 500 1900, 100000, and the capacity
Of Congress seems to be taxed to its
utmost In finding way for the fu-
ture. The steel men and the War
Industries Board have been in con-
ference. and the result is that com.
petitive conditions within this great
industry are to be restored after jan
uary 1.
Summing up the Industrial situa-
ton one finds that the whole indus.
trial machinery Of the country is be.
ing set adrift. The war industries
have accepted this condition, and at
the Atlantic City gathering their
problems were analysed, and rem.
edial methods were provided as far as
possible. The Government which
was so all-wise in going to war offers
no solution about how to get back
to peace. The country is asked to
accept as an excuse for holding the
boys in idleness in the camps tho
explanation that 1t is done to re-.
lieve what Mr.. McAdoo describes in
another Instance as uncertainty and
| ferment"

destruction, and these important
features of civic and industrial life
have turned to the communities that
they serve for relief from enormous
conditions. While the world talks
reconstruction the local applica-
tion of the principle seems difficult
to apply, and the politicians pop up
promiscously in every locality to tell
the utility man that. well. you made
a bargain, now stick to it," Recon.
struction to their minds. is intended
for Europe. Asia and Africa, or any
other old place except home. The
American Electric Railway .Associa.
tion has set on foot n movement to
make an analysis of the reconstruc.
tion problems relating to local fran.
chises, with n view of bringing about
radical revision of the existing ar
rangements. The stern fact that con.
fronts the public with respect to pub
lie utilities calls for q remodeling OF
the existing arrangements between
the operators and the owners of the
properties and the communities they
serve, If destruction of this great
national activity is to be avoided.
