Why It's High

Every and then simple statement
throws light the problem of the high cost
of living than ali the arguments that economists
deluge magazines with These lights, it is true,
only sidelights but they are about all we have
From them we infer that the cost of living is high
because it it is high and because everybody is
trbuting to the height of it.
We have seen a communication from a woman
who says that she is the wife of railroad
whose pay is IS cents hour. That like very
good pay but out of it rent, and rents
high then the other living expenses which
all admit are HIGH so that at the end of the
month the husbands IS cents an hour are all pretty
well consumed.
AS to the of things for which payment must
be made out of the 6S cents an hour, the wife in
PRODUCES a in point: To-day was obliged to
pay $3.50 hour from the time he left the
office down town until he finished the job to
repair a sewing machine. My husband had actually
to work than two hours for that $3.50"
While the sewing machine repairer perhaps did
fix hourly wage he charged $3.50 for the job
and the time it took him to make the trifling re-
pair and the time consumed in going and coming
was hour. Yet we suppose few persons have
ever thought of the activities repairmen, except
plumbers as having a bearing upon the higher cost
of living.
1.-THE fact is, all more or less engaged in
the boosting up the high cost of living. Some of
doing because we are forced to it by the
costs which are piling up against up and we are
only passing them along. Some, more reprehen-
sble, charging for their services their
goods only because they realize that there more
money in circulation than before and they are
out after their share of it,

JAMES OPPENHEIM
Author of "The Solitary"
A SIGH for Nine Dead Ladies

used to tel the world what the greatest
prose masters of English have said about
the worlds greatest architects, painters
and sculptors.
There is nothing in this book that is
apropos of the land question, the wage
minimum or Thorstein Veblen. Just q
lot of writin' about lot Of artists. Il
is true that the writers we're such men
at Plutarch, Thackeray, Ruskin, Pater,
Whistler, Hawthorne, Emerson, Rodin,
Gibbon, Havelock Ellis, John Adding
ton Symons and Henry James, and the
men that they wrote about were Leonardo,
Turner, Hogarth, Rubens, Velasquez,
Holbein, Raphael, Titan and Rem
brandt. But these names sound strange
and out of place to-day. The book is
like directory of cemetery of Titans
who were slain by the vast army of
pygmies Of the Industrial Era-gassed
into their graves by Ricardo, Karl Marx
and the little Pragmatic Petes Of this and
that omniscient little weekly.
Take one heretical paragraph, by John
Card: "The artist paints or sings or
writes simply because the creative i'm
pulse is upon him, and he cannot choose
but give it vent; because a dream of
beauty has taken possession Of his soul
and it is joy or rapture for him to ex-
press it." Nothing here about "social
USE" "ethical values" or common good"
Policel
The book is a fine adventure in beauty.
It is a ramble around the ruins Of the
world and a trip through the great art
galleries Of Europe, personally con-
Quoted by the greatest writers Of the last
century. Here are little editorials which
you will never find in a newspaper.
Their variety and imagery throw magic
screen between the reader and reality
which, to my way of thinking, should be
the end and aim of all activity.

A Modern Alias
of Robin Hoods

BOSTON BLACKIE, by Jack Boyle,
II has been serialized and filmed and
here it is between covers. Who is Blackief
In the first place he is crook in every
sense of the word, and in the second he is
a man with large M. His heart. though
hard at times, is soft at other times. BE Is
married happily. His wife, Mary, shares
with him in his thefts, his sorrows and his
contempt OF society and the harness
bulls. He is q man Of many strange in
consistencies and twisted code of morals,
"a code that he guards from violation as
a zealot guards his religion" And thus
we begin to know Blackie.
"Seated in their cosey apartment in San
Francisco, which for the time was their
home, Blackie suddenly dropped the cur
rent volume on mysticism which he had
been reading and looked across the room
to Mary, busy with an intricate piece Of
embroidery.
awe need bit of excitement, Mary,
he said with the unconcsrned air of hus-
band about to suggest an evening at the
theatre We'll take the Wilmerding
jewel collection tonight"
So that was settled and Blackie went
back to his book and his wife TO her en-
broidery.
That night behind the curtains in the
Wilmerding home Blackie overheard
conversation that made him clench his
fists. Martin Wilmerding was away. His
wife had been building up q friendship
with Don Lavelle, who, in that very room,
was trying to entice her to leave her hus-
band and blue eyed boy of o and run
away with him. After some minutes
parley she consented. Giving the jewels
the same jewels Blackie had come to get
to Lavelle, Mrs. Wilmerding went up
stairs to pack her trunk. Just as Lavelie
was making off in his car Blackie played
the part of Wilmerding, Layelle never
having seen either, and with q gun in
Layelle's face made him hand over the
jewels and promise to take the boat next
morning for Hawaii.
Then Blackie stopped at two hotels and
sent from each telegram one to Will
merding and the other to his wife. The
telegram to Wilmerding directed him to
come home at once; Ills wife and child
needed him. The other read: "The pack
ages you gave me were what really
wanted. Thank you and good-by," and to
this Blackie signed Lavelle's initials So,
q little later on, Blackie and his wife read
the society notes and found that Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilmerding and their boy were
spending the summer at their country
home.
But this is only one story out of many,
In the book you will find many thrills
prison escapes, frameups and tie doings
Of fctional underworld After reading
it you will say the same as the warden did
when he came to arrest Blackie and then
decided not to: "He is a man, even
though he is a convict"
