MESSAGE THAT ANGELS SANG
Nv the Raw Charms Stelzle

The cloud on the industrial horizon has its sill
yer lining For labor troubles came the result OF
advancing civilization.
Social unrest is sometimes an indication of So
cia progress
There are no labor troubles in Darkest Africa"
Curiously enough, Christianity will have good
TO do with introducing them.
The ancient philosophers declared that a 'pur-
chased aborer is better than hired one "a work
shop is incompatible with nobility" And in accord
ance with those principles they erected great prison
like structures in which they hid away the aborer,
compelling half the world to live in slavery
1t would make interesting reading to know how
that other half lived.
Then Jesus Christ. Standards changed
Jesus discovered the individual. He showed the word
how highly God values human soul.
Men caught His spirit, with the result that in
Christian land the standing OF the laborer has
been elevated.
1t was in Christianity that the labor movement
had its rise. Its success is due to the fact that
Christianity blazed the way.
1t needed the missionary of the cross it needed
Christian civilization to before and prepare the
foundation.
Then came the labor agitator and built upon the
foundation laid by Christ and His church. many
years before
1t has taken long time, and conditions are not
yet ideal; but the principles of Jesus applied to So
ciety are responsible for the advance made by
the workingman since the day that he was a miser-
able slave.
There has been steady progress like the ire
sistble sweep of mighty river Eddies have been
the stream. The pessimist has the eddy, ana
points to it indication that there has been
only a backward movement, Indifferent TO the fact
that the flood just beyond reveals true progress
He is unmindful of the day when workingmen
lived in small, dingy, foul-smelng rooms: when
they slept in cellars and open drains when mel.
worked sixteen hours every day without being paid
for the overtime"
He has fogotten the time when manufacturers
actually paid to rid parish of pauper child
rem, who then became white slaves; when conditions
degrading that in many cases fun grown
remained at home caring for the babies or
mendng stockings while the women were engaged
at the wearing work of the mill; when it was a
certain amount; when workingmen could be put in
Jail for owing a storekeeper ten cents; when the
mechanic received fifty cents for days work at a
time when fifty cents would purchase no more than
it will today.
The increase in wages the shortening of his
hours Of work the multiplication of his comforts
his educational advantages, his superior posi-
ton as citizen and man-all these have made the
average workingman progressive. right thinking
individual.
Viewed in the light of history all this must ap-
pear revolutionary
Out of Christ's teaching have sprung the great
world movements which have ushered in the larger
liberty and the fuller life which He came TO pro-
claim.
The message which the angels sang on the first
Christmas morning is being taught more widely than
ever before.

George creers Accounts

The auditors OF the accounts of the United
states Bureau of Public Information find them
selves up against it in trying arrive the head
tail Of the business of that institution All that
they have been able to discover is that the bureau
spent the money Of the United States with a reck-
lessness and abandon almost unprecedented except
in Russia where every man prints money as he
needs it and where no burden is laid upon the tax
payers
But it is stated that Of the money spent by
the bureau Of public information was spent dis
honestly. No appears to have been made of the
funds for the personal benefit Of AR CreeI or his
numerous associates They seem only to have been
trying to get rid OF it in some way without any
more thought Of personal gain than if they had de-
stroyed it in bonfire emptied into the Potomac
And Mr.. Creel wholly blame. 1t was
discovered that he might have spent a great deal
more II he had had little more Imagination lie
profligate to his capacity but that he lacked
capacity is evidenced by the fact that there was
len in The fund with which he was supplied more
than million and half of dollars for the ex-
penditure Of which he could devise no way. And
there were found littering the pigeon holes of the
desk Of the disbursing officer checks and drafts
amounting TO more than 100000.
The president is little more of a business man
than Mr.. Creel He only knew that he wanted an
Information bureau, though he perhaps did not in
tend it to be such administration propaganda
bureau as Mr.. Cree afterward made it. The presi-
dent had no idea how much money would be needed
but he asked for enough and congress under the
oxidation Of inclined to give the president
every thing he asked.
Perhaps. II much money had not been piled
upon Mr.. Creel he might have done better with his
bureau His mind was diverted by the necessity Of
getting rid Of this money from the great aims of the
bureau that of supplying the nation and the world
with information about the achievements of the
United States from day to day in getting ready to
30 war.
That Mr. Creel was proflgate not his fault
Proflgacy not only encouraged but was forced
upon him. To spend all this money seemed to Mr.
Creel to be his part in winning the war and it must
have been with chagrin that he discovered at the
signing Of the armistice that had fallen far short
OF his stint, with a million and half left in his fund
But probably Mr. Creel did not know that there
was such balance any balance. It is not likely
that he knew at any time how his accounts stood
Anyhow the auditor who is much more expert than
Mr.. Creel in such matters has been unable to find
how they stood

Sugar Control

The regulation of food is like what General
Hancock once said the tariff local issue.
Every section Of the country is willing to have the
products Of other section regulated and their
prices stabilized but any interference with the law
Of supply and demand to local products is de-
nounced unwarranted SO Senator Ransdell OPP
poses the continuation of federal control do
nestle sugars for his own state of Louisiana is Il
producer of domestic sugar
The sugar situation is really now, and in
greater need Of federal attention than it during
tho war as we learn from Facts About Sugar" a
trade journal of the industry which offers the
following facts in explanation of the condition OF
the sugar market. The sugar shortage it says is
world wide amounting in round figures TO 100000
long tons-there being deficiency of that amount
for 1919 below the crop Of 1914 This means world
shortage OF 5000 100000 pounds, allowing nothing for
the natural increase in the demand which is esti-
mated at 100000 tons.
More sugar has been marketed in the United
states in the last months than during the whole
period OF 1918 That there is scarcity in spite Of
this increased supply in this country is due to the
fact that consumption has greatly increased. The
amount OF sugar distributed through domestic trade
ebannels TO the end Of September of the current
wear was 600 900 tons than for the correspond
ing period in 1918. But we have been consuming 90
hounds per annum per capita-a greater eonsump-
ton than ever before in the history of the country
The consumption last year rs pounds per capita.
1o nine months Of the current year we consumed
nearly as much sugar as during the whole of 1918.
Among the reasons assigned is the comparatively
low price Of until within the last three or four
weeks measured by the prices of other commodities.
Tho advent of prohibition is also credited with having
greatly increased the consumption of candy. ice
cream and soft drinks in which sugar is used An
other cause Of increase is omitted by Facts About
sugar" and It has also to do with prohibition. the
extensive use OF sugar in the home manufacture of
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1919-11-05

beer. wine and other alcoholic drinks, sugar being
the of the alcohol. There are many persons
consuming much more sugar in this way than they
would ordinarily require for household uses
Sugar prices of regulated by the
economic laws which regulate the prices of
other commodities when permitted to operate with
artificial restrictions The price of sugar being
higher in the orient and in Europe, the probability
that if control measures should be removed in this
country prices will greatly advance unless produe
ton should be sufficiently increased.
