UNIVERSITY ENDOWMENT FUNDS.

General Leonard Wood has written a letter
to President John Grier Hibben, OF Princeton
university, which is made public. Although
the letter concerns itself primarily with Prince
tons drive for a -million-dollar en-
dowment, General Wood says much that is ap-
plcable to the general campaign of our higher
schools for money to insure an adequate teach
ing force. Not only will higher school men be
interested in General Woods expression, but
also the intelligent public since it puts well the
opinion of thinking people the land over. The
letter in full follows:

The federal department of justice suggests
to public notice that it cannot itself deport I'M
desirables; it can only bring them before the
proper court with such evidence as 1T has
gathered. This is by way of reminder that this
department does not wish to be held account
able for the many technical delays consequent
to our court procedure. 1t is right that all
means to Justice be secured to those who are
brought to trial. but the general public is often
irked by the circumstances incident to our legal
procedure, knowledge that this procedure is
victimized by red tape and employed to delay
and sometimes to defeat what apparently is the
laws intent

RIDING TO A FALL.

People are beginning to wonder where this
apparently endless chain of high prices high
wages, higher prices, higher wages, and repeat
ad infinitum, will end Which will break first
Who will suffer most when the break does
comet
There are economists who assert that we are
at the beginning of an era of high prices. 1t
may be as well to point out that break is IN
evitable and that it cannot be very much longer
delayed 1t will come from a combination OF
two causes and both will hit the whole COM
nunity hard. In the meantime, those who can
not obtain higher wages will have to endure the
higher prices as best they can. When the break
and the subsequent REIMBURSEMENT are here, then
these may be the lucky ones; for not having had
an advance in wages they will not have the cor
responding drop that must come.
We never were saving nation, and IN the
face of the large number of workers that are
receiving higher wages the increase IN savings
bank depositors is small. The higher wages
are going mostly for Injuries. Every merchant
will testify that the more expensive goods are
moving faster than the moderate priced or
cheap goods (if there are any that can be piac-
ed in this class) This means lessened pro-
duction of cheaper and moderate-priced goods,
the manufacture of which employs the greater
number of workers
There must come a return to sanity Work
ers will have to accept wages that are in pro-
portion to the condition Of the labor market
Buying will be done in accordance with COM
mon sense and prices of Injuries will come down
first, to be followed by lower prices for necessi-
ties The demand for moderate-pr goods
will be larger and the workers in that line will
go back to work. The orgy of spending will be
over and things viii return to more nearly
normal condition.
How long this will take it were presumptious
to predict That it must come, common sense
tells us. That it come soon, so that 1T may be
over the sooner, lovers of their country will
wish And when it shall have come, we shall
all of us breathe easier; for while the transition
may contain elements of danger, it will not be
nearly so dangerous to the peace and prosper
lily of our country as the present abnormal state
Of affairs.

Earnest desire for better relations between
capital and labor is expressed by thoughtful
men on both sides, but the desire will be I'M
fulfilled so long as men listen to the teachings
Of socialism and its kindred, bolshevism and
anarchy. The class consciousness of socialism
is 'misnomer. What is taught is class selfish
ness And as this begets distrust, capital is
less inclined to be friendly toward labor, so
long as great proportion of the workers give
ear to the teachings of this hostile force. 1t
would not be so difficult to bring about the de-
sired cooperation of capital and labor if this
class hatred were confined to the ranks of the
socialists alone But too many workers that
are not at all inclined toward socialism are in
fluenced by its teachings.
