people of the Springs to a higher
vision.
Among other things he told of
his dream of a big consolidated

have a great dream if they ac-
complish any thing.
We feel sure these remarks
will bear fruit. At no distant

been advanced in price in order to
meet higher rental made necessary
by the increased interest which the
larger investment must earn; and the
tenth, quite as wise as all the rest,
says that prices are going higher be-
cause the increased prosperity has
made people so reckless with their
money that everybody is willing to
pay all that anybody will charge for
anything.
And they are all seeing the elephant.
The high cost of living is due to all
these conditions, and forty seven other
varieties.
The world went crazy during the
war. The general insanity was not
relieved when peace came because
then everybody went little crazier
than he had been before from sheer
happiness that the war was over And
now competition or emulation prompts
each to become little more reckless
than the other.
We have started on a dance which
apparently will not end until our social
and industrial community. already
dizzy beyond control, breaks under its
fatigue. Legislation may alleviate;
organizations of labor, capital and
consumers, may check here and there
the tendency skyward; but if history
REPEATS itself, there will be no relief
until the financial and industrial struc-
ture, top-heavy with profits speculation
and imitation, topples over in panic, UNI
employment, financial stagnation and

Hard times are the only cure-all for
too good times.
There are those who have assumed
that the Federal Reserve system has
banished financial panics for all time.
There is no wisdom or virtue in q
stupid optimism. The Federal Re-

all wer right, for an elephant is like
