WILL PRICES FALL?

People who expected prices to fall
the day after the war ended are in the
process of being bitterly disappointed.
Many of the factors that have con-
tributed to high prices will still be
active for some time to come. The
food demand probably will not be les
sened for two years, since it seems
that this country will have to feed
the most of Europe for a year at
least.
The scarcity of labor will still be an
important factor, until a great num-
Der of the men abroad are sent home.
That will be a slow process, and even
the rehabilitation in this country is
still matter of hazy conjecture. So
it looks like high prices will have an
indefinite run. We can keep right on
doing what we have been doing-prac-
tiee careful buying and substitution
Of less expensive articles for "luxu-
ries."

THE FUTURE

The waste of war has been enor-
nous, but this country, in spite of this
has created vast assets during the
war, both tangible and intangible.
America has become a creditor nation.
The world will need our products and
the genius for organization and the
energy with which we have amazed
other nations.
Naturally during the period of read
justment there is bound to be an in
terval of confusion, during which
some industries will prosper and 9th
ers will not, just as they did during
the war, but after this short period
which will be very much shortened by
patience, common sense and unselfish-
ness on the part of us all-there ought
to be period of wonderful opportu-
nifty and progress for every industry
and individual

THERE Is MUCH TO BE THANK
FTL FOR

Not since Washington appointed a
day Of Thanksgiving in 1889 or since
1863, when Thanksgiving day was
given official recognition by Presi-
dent Lincoln, have the people of the
United States had occasion to observe
the day in a higher and holier spirit.
Never was there more to be truly
thankful for. There may have been
years, doubtless were, when we OBJ
served the day in perfunctory way,
merely because it was the custom.
Not SO in this good year of 1918. If
every man, woman and child in the
United States can not find something
to be especially thankful for there
still remains the general cause; our
country is once more at peace with
the world We have also the proud
consciousness to be thankful for that
our country played no inglorious part
in bringing about and Fastening the
peace. We may also be thankful that
the sacrifice we made TO bring about
peace was not greater and was not
made in vain. Many things have oc-
Cured since we last observed Thanks
giving day that We may truly and rev.
erently be thankful for but the fact
that the year brought peace to our ma
tiion, and to all the world, outweighs
them all And finally we can find
cause for thankful spirit next Thurs
day because the hope is held out to a
war torn world that strife between the
peoples of the world may in the future
De settled without resort to war.

ing with this un-American method of
high international conference. We
are drifting to the identical principle
which lies overthrow in Germany
after 81 months of unprecedented
warfare and suffering. Until the
kaiser abdicated and fled into Hol-
land, the German chancellor, and I'M
der him the ministers who directed
the German government, were per-
sonal representatives of the monarch,
By him appointed without consultation
with the German parliament, answer
able directly and only to him.
a. Conceive the temper Of the British
people-it is not a matter of conjec-
ture or imagination-if King George
should attempt to annul the British
constitution and defy national prece-
dent by sending to the Paris confer
ence instead of the British premier
and the British foreign minister, re-
sponsible and answerable directly to
parliament, his personal representa-
tive" answerable and responsible
only to the king of England.

THE RECONSTRUCTION PERIOD

The war is over and policies of in
dustrial and economic construction
will be the order of the day.
In nearly all the western states the
election showed a strong disposition
of the voter to stand for sound pol
icies.
Candidates and organizations too
strongly loaded up with socialistic
inclinations or revolutionary propo-
sitions were showed under.
Initiatives and referendums, amend
ments to constitutions and-proposed
constitutional amendments generally
went by the board.
While radical labor politicians were
everywhere defeated the determine
ton of the western states is not
against labor as such.
Fair wage and living conditions are
regarded as essential to permanent
and peaceful relations between indus
try and capital.
Now comes the long strong pull to-
gether for upholding the payrolls and
productive resources of the western
states.
The undeveloped and unoccupied
lands, the millions of acres of logged
off, brush, swamp and timber lands
are the problem.
How to get labor to bring them
under cultivation and make them pro-
duce the necessities of life for the
world is the problem.
The canning and preserving of veg
etables and fruits and the increase of
dairy products make cheap farm labor
indispensable.
How to get this labor for the period
of reconstruction and necessary extern
sion of production is up to our gov
eminent.
There must be patriotic cooperation
of all classes, with broad national
views to make our country productive.

DO YOU WANT POETRY?

Where in thunder did all the poetry
come from that this paper has been
bombafded with the past two weeks.
We have received it from every quar-
ter of the globe. Looks as if all our
readers had turned to poetry to ex-
press their thoughts Can it be due
to the fact that they are under the
belief that the editor himself is spe-
cially fond of it and is hungry for it
because he has printed so little? Or
is it because they think our readers
are suffering from the dearth of
poetry in the Echo? &
From hints that have been dropped
We suspect that about ninety-nine in
one hundred of our readers take the
Echo for the purely local news they
find in the paper each week. Per-
haps the other one per cent take it to
read the personal opinion of the ed
itor, and few of these because they
agree with him, but rather that they
may have good cause to "cuss" him.
As for himself, he here and now says
he abhors poetry, and can count on
the fingers of his hand every poem
that ever was written that is worth
printing. He would rather hear some
one file a saw in his hearing than
read what is considered the best poem
written in the last hundred years.
We say this in perfect candor and to
disabuse the mind of those who may
live under the apprehension that we
dote on poetry.
Lest we should be the innocent cause
of discouraging some budding Burns
we here suggest that all poets send
their verse to the poetry magazine as
this is a proper vent for budding
genius, and it is the one publication to
which all lovers of poetry look for
good" poetry, which distinction we
grant for all that has been sent US.
Unfortunately we are gifted with a
lack of appreciation.
Now, if the modest number of
twelve of our readers will write US
that they would like to have some
poetry dished up every week we will
accommodate them by starting a
"Potry Koiner."

WHITTIER ARE WE DRIFTING?

One may readily admit that Mr..
House, of Texas, is a most worthy
man in every respect and yet to an
unofficial person representing the
United States at the council Of ma
tions where the most momentous
events in this world will be deter
mined. events which viii go far to
determine the welfare of the people
of this world for a thousand years,
Mr.. House is not the proper person.
MIR. House is answerable for what he
does and says at the conference to no
one but the president. The people of
this country know less about Mr..
House than any man in public life.
About the only thing they know about
him that is sure is that he is dem
ocrat, and that he amassed fortune
in the banking business in Texas. His
outstanding personal characteristic is
his grave like silence on everything
connected with the war. Not only
the war, but all public questions.
There is a cessation of fighting but
the war is not at an. end, and will not
be at an end until the council of ma
tions meets and finally determines on
just exactly what terms it may come
to an end The constitution says in
words too plain to be misunderstood
that the president shall make peace
by and with the consent of the senate.
We might here admit that Mr. House
will prove to be in every way salts
factory representative of this govern
ment, as much so as if he had been
nominated by the president and con-
firmed by the senate, and yet make
sound objection to his unofficial ca
pacity. The right to appoint such
representative without consulting
the senate may even be admitted
to be safe in the hands of President
Wilson and yet the wisdom of the
founders Of this government appears
in the fact that they provided check
upon a president who might act with
less judgment than President Wilson.
The president is setting up prece-
dent that other presidents will follow
unless those Of u.s. who believe the
safest course is following the consti-
tuition, object. The following temper
ate criticism from the Spokesman Re-
view is in point:
Premier Lord George and Foreign
Minister Balfour of Great Britain,
Premier Orlando and Foreign Minis
ter Sonnino, of Italy, Premier Venize-
los of Greece and Foreign Minister
Patchitch of Serbia, are gathering at
Paris for grave conference with Pre-
mier Clemenceau of France-and the
unofficial personal representative"
of the president of the United States.
All these high ambassadors are di-
rectly responsible to the parliaments
of their respective countries-save
only the personal representative of
the President of the United States.
A tyro can see where we are drift

TURN THE AMERICANS LOOSE

When as a whole the American ma
ton prospered more in fifty years be
fore the war without socialism than
any of the socialistic or paternalistic
nations of the rest of the world, it is
worth remarking that the sooner the
American people are left to resume
normal conditions of attending to their
own business the better All the
boards, commissions, functionaries
and army of experts and specialists
that have been created by the war are
saying that their services are indis-
pensable for at least two years to
keep the country from going to the
bow-wows.
This is not the case. Americans do
not need to be coddled. War meas
ures are one thing, peace measures
another.
All citizens should be free to re-
sumo normal activities and private in
itiative should be free to reach out for
starting everything from the smallest
to the greatest enterprises. The
sooner the entanglements of red tape
can be taken off the better for our
country. The military establishment
will take several years to adjust itself
to peace conditions but the civil army,
directing officialism in food, farm
ing, building, manufacturing and
transportation must also be disbanded
and Americans must resume the

GOOD ROADS A GOOD INVEST
MENT

A news story in this weeks Echo
directs attention to what we conceive
to be one of the most important ques
tions now before the people of the
state of Washington, and certain to be
one of the big practical questions to
come before the state legislature at
the coming of the new year. The
great benefit of good roads to this
state is of such unquestioned benefit
that no argument can be made against
it. The one and only question is how
can good roads be had without putting
Too great burden on the taxpayers. 1t
has been proposed that the automo-
bile license be bonded for thirty or
forty million dollars and the money
used to build roads. Whatever scheme
is adopted should contemplate put
ting part of the burden of the cost on
the next generation. 1t seems but
reasonable and just that, since ben
eft will accru to the next generation,
that it should share in the cost.
This is an Opportune time to start
a project that will give employment to
labor the coming two years and help
get over the reconstruction period af-
ter the war. Chelan county will
doubtless be represented at the Pasco
conference next moth. We shall
watch the proceedings with more than
passing interest.

AUTocRAcY VS.. DEMOCRACY

Can a democracy get the same unity
and efficiency from its people as
autocracy in times of war; can 1t
demand the same obedience and sac
rifice? The answer is in a decided
affirmative. We have proved 1t.
Germany the most autocratic of all
has fallen. and is in the throes of rev
olution. America is still fit, and
ready to fight and sacrifice more if
necessary. So goes by the board an
other moss grown belief.
