DIR. BABSON, whose predictions some
time ago of slump in the stock mar
ket were fulfilled so precisely, is again
lifting his voice in prophecy. This time
he predicts that as the bottom fell out
of the stock market in November, the
bottom is due to fall out of business in
general in the spring, about the month
of March. Is somebody who is inter-
ested in bringing such conditions upon
the rest of US practicing psychic sug
gestions, bringing about calamity by
our very dread of it? IL the crash
comes at the time predicted, then some
BODY is ''monkeying with the band
wagon" to get the loot.

The spirit of lawlessness which has
brought disgrace upon some of the
youths of our city. and grief and hard
ships to their parents and friends was
checked up in justice court last week.
The court should be heartily supported
in it's effort to punish the guilty, and
save others who walk in the way of
temptation. To prevent the evil, par
ents and teachers should join hands,
not only in instilling. the proper prin-
ciples into the minds Of the young, but
also in keeping the children and young
persons away from the street in the
evenings, and from places of loafing at
all times. To see. the news of any dis
grace published in the papers and sent
broadcast over the country is not a
pleasant experience to one who loves
our town and it's folks. The recent oc-
currence should emphasize the duty we
owe our homes and our community.
We should, as far as it is within our
power, remedy the conditions which
foster the spirit of lawlessness and the
loss of parental control.

AFTER one wear of profound deliber

AFTER one year of profound deliber-
atiOns, first by the august assembly of
diplomats of the great nations, includ-
ing the president of the United States,
then, at the American end of it, by the
u. S. senate, by President Wilson in
his unfortunate swing around the cir
cle-meanwhile needless debate for and
against the adoption of the instrument
of Versailles by statesmen, scholars,
divipes, politicians and nondescripts, in
the press, through books and period
icals, on the lecture platform and in
the sewing circles have gone n,-Sen-
ator Lodge suggests that the whole
big, intricate, unsOlveable Gordian knot
be cut by one simple, direct blow of
the cutlass of congress when it met
on last Monday through the
following joint resolution: Resolved,
by the senate, the house of representa-
tives concurring, That the said state
of war between Germany and the
United States is hereby declared to be
at an end. /" The suggestion is delight
fully informal, almost plebeian. Some
school boy might have thought of that
a year ago. Suppose congress. passes
such resolution and President Wilson
signs it-he could hardly do anything
else would that end the League of
Nations proposition? Not necessarily;
but it would make it possible for the
political parties to place that before
the country as an issue at the next
election. The u. S. senate talked it to
death in one year. Will the American
people talk it to life again before next

THE information furnished the public
last week by ex-Secretary of the Treas
ury VIM. McAdoo, as to the profits
cashed in by the bituminous mine own
ers during the war, came as distinct
shock to the public Mr.. McAdoo
terms the profits 'indefensible, " avow-
ing they reached 1000 per cent. Most
people will agree that the ex-secretary
is right, and that the operators well
can afford to meet the demand of the
miners for better pay, without increas-
ing the cost of fuel to the public. The
publication of the income and sur-tax
lists called for by Mr.. McAdoo would
materially help to make it clear if his
charges are based on facts. Let us
have the truth!

Many men are very busy hating

personified enemy of our liberties.
What is Capital?
Largely, the hate of it which agents
of dissension and disruption have been
spreading in this country is based on
an absurdly mistaken picture of Cap
ital. Capital is pictured as a fat fcl-

sumed. That's capital THAT work

an enormous proportion of the capital
American business and industry by the
use Of is of just that kind.
This same workman wisely insures
his life for the protection of his fam
ily, and engages to pay annually fix
ed sum to the insurance company or
society. The insurance company or
society, after paying its expenses, puts
the surplus into high-grade bonds for
safekeeping and to earn interest.
That's capital, too.
If the workman, having saved his
hundred dollars, bought a. gilt-edged
bond or shore of stock in the corpor-
alton for which he works, he would
be making his contribution directly to
the country's capital fund. He would
be capitalist himself, and the only
difference between him and other cap
italists would be a matter of size. That
excepted, ne is as much a capitalist as
q man rolling in millions.
Abuse of the control of capital there
have been, of course There were gross
abuses of the control of the capital re
presented in insurance cmpany funds
until an investigation disclosed them
and forced the enactment of laws pre-
venting such abuses. There are still
abuses of the control of capital, but
they can be corrected.
But fighting capital is fighting the
very lifeblood that keeps industry alive
and makes possible the employment of
the workman who has saved up his
little contribution to the common store
of copital, thus doing his bit to in
sure life to industry and permanence|
to conditions that give employment to
labor.
The fight should be against the
abuses of control of capital, not
against capital itself: for capital is

Tyranny of Minority
Stephen Leacock, IN The National
ReVieaO

Stephen Leacock, IN The National
RevieW
The whole of North America, or all
of 1t that lies between the Mexicans
and the Esquimaus, is passing under a
new tyranny. 1t is new, at least, in the
sense that the particular form of it,
under the name of Prohibition. is
thing hitherto unknown in the world
1t is old in the sense that the evil that
inspires it is that against which for
ages the spirit of liberty has been in
conflict.
1t is time that people in England
should have proper warning of the So
cial catastrophe which has overwhelmed
America. While there is yet time the
danger should be averted For the
United States and Canada regret is too
late. 1t is only too evident now that
the proper time for protest and oppo-
sition was at the beginning Of the in
sidious movement. But few people
realized the power of fanaticism or the
peculiar weaknesses Of democratic rule
upon which it fed. From the crusade
Of despised minority, a mark for
good natured ridicule rather than fear,
the prohibition movement became a
vast continental propaganda, backed by
unlimited money, engineered by or
gained hypocrisy. Under the stress
of war it masqueraded as the browning
effort of patriotism. The war over, it
sits enthroned as social tyranny,
backed by the full force of the law
the like of which has not been seen in
English-speaking countries since the
fires died out in Smthtield.
A candid outsider might well stand
perplexed as to how and why commu-
mites apparently free can vote them
selves into such an appalling bondage.
The reason for it can only be under
stood by an appreciation Of certain Of
the peculiar features, certain charac-
teristic weaknesses, CT democracy in
North America. Both in the United
States and in Canada we have long
