THE TRANSITION PERIOD.

Under the caption: mo Resting on
the Oars" the Christian Science Mont
tor prints an able and timely editorial
which confront the country. In part
it follows:
The transition from the activities of
war to the activities of peace in the
United States cannot be too rapid, for
the thing to be avoided in this, as in all
the allied countries, is industrial de-
preston as a result of sluggish read
justment. Every public and private
undertaking abandoned on the out
break of the war, or deferred by rea-
son of the conflict, should be revived
and resumed without delay.
Whatever may be thought or said
to the contrary. war work, properly
so called, must soon be reduced to the
minimum; the manufacture OF NUM-
tions, except to meet the normal army
and navy demand, must soon cease al
together. There is no reason why any
contracts for war vessels or merchant
men should be Cancelled; there Is every
reason why they should be carried
out, and there are many reasons like
wise why the government should pro-
coed with all contracts. even tho in

Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
Sensitive Plants.-2.

And so it goes. Men and women
call their laziness and their lack of
ability, and their disagreeable traits of
character sensitiveness, and they per-
suade themselves that the reason that
they have never gotten on in the world,
and the reason they are not beloved is
because of their sensitiveness. They
say that they are too fine and deli
cately attuned for this coarse and
cruel world, whereas the truth of the
matter is they are merely cutters and
Slackers who were not willing to pay
the price of the thing they wanted,
but expected it to be given them free,
gratis, for nothing.
You never hear of successful people
doing things to be ON the lookout for
Sights. They are too much absorbed
in getting results to notice whether
the world Is standing around admir-
ing them or not They are perfectly
aware that they are not the only peb-
more lese majesty for other people to
criticise them than it is for them to
knock other people, and so they do not
worry about what others may be say
ing of them.
'Over-sensitiveness is one of the most
despicable faults that anyone can
have. 1t is also a handicap that eff
race of life, because it makes its un-
happy possessor persona non grata to

REIMBURSEMENT OF INDUSTRY.

In the readjustment of the industry
of the Countrywide taking up again
of the old occupations of peace times
there will soon be plenty of aabor.
The other requisites are enterprise
and capital. Both should be encour-
aged.
1t is the hesitation to re-engage, in
manufacture. with price of material
threatening decline. says the Bache
Review, that may possibly bring on a
period of depression; that is, enter
prise may hold back awaiting better
opportunities. Enterprise and capital
working together produce prosperity.
How shall enterprise, which is the
first to step off-the head of the new
army-be encouraged? The most po-
tent agency at the moment is the gov
eminent. Our industrial world is
practically controlled at Washington.
The wisdom with which that control
ton to support the great structure of
business as it is being. lifted off the
war tracks onto the peace tracks. will
provide the great encouragement
which enterprise needs at this time.
There Is no question of capital work
ing. in harmony with enterprise, and
labor, which is the essential third fac
tor. will thus be taken care of.
Labor is the most difficult of the
problems to be dealt with. If employ
ment continues at full head there will
be for the time very little chance for
| reduction of wages. The cost of living
should decline. This may not apply to
food for while, but fuel and clothing
should be cheaper. If wages continue
and have more funds TO spend or save

But even so. there will be a vast
| amount of spending il labor continue
prosperous. and this. by increasing de-
mand for goods, will help to keep pro-
| duction active.
But the readjustment of wages is
bound to present itself as a problem
and some employers are already be-
ginning to agitate the question. Wher
the government ceases to be the great
and common employer, they say, and
government money no longer pays the
present extravagant wages. can pri.
