attacked the profiteer and hoardcr in
an address delivered here today at a

of living.
The people he said have the remedy
In their own hands. If they determine
that prices shall come down and stick
to their resolve. the result will be de-

the trouble. he said. is idleness on the
part of both brain workers and manual
laborers. Next to this. he classed The
perfec: saturnalia of extravaganza and
orgy of spending-of spending like a
drunken sailor--which encourages the
gousers and hampers those who are
laborng for better conditions.
1T is as much the duty of the
patriotic American to economize now
as it was when our boys were over
there" he declared. "All public men
should awake and guide public opinion
and press and pulpit should preach
saving. You should plead with your
people to do these two things-pro-
