The progress of today is made
possible by the savings of yester-
day."
The savage. with no more worry
than accumm ula ton Of food for todav
since tomorrow's food is always
hanging on the trees. has made no
progress through centuries of exist
ence
He eats the same food his great
great-grandfather did, fights with
the same crude spears, wears the
same crude ornaments in lieu OF
clothing.
The first slow steps in civilization
introduced men to things which.
could not be had for the taking:
things which required labor to make;
and which therefore had a price.
The more thrifty of our early an
censtors acquired more goods and
valuables than their careless neigh
bors; and in time tribes and peoples
became marked apart from others
less industrious in the gathering Of
wealth.
They built ships. dug mines. hired
the 1ess?-deVeloped people of other
nations to work for them or enslaved
them with the armies which their
wealth enabled them to equip.
The railroads, telephones and
steamships of the present day could
not have been built if in previous
centuries enormous savings had not
been laid up.
The law of civilization is the law OF
saving, and the individuals prosperity
and progress as we'll as that Of a ma
tion is dependent upon his living.
NOT WITHIN HIS INCOME, as docs
the savage, but far enough within so
that he can lay up savings which
work for him.

AMERICANS PAID LESS.

A comparison of pre-war prices
with those now prevailing shows
that the increase in the cost Of liv-
ing in the Unitei States has been
less than il any other country
A comparison between the prices
prevailing in September, 1913, ten
months before the outbreak of the
world war, with those Of September,
1918, two months before the sign
ing Of the armistice, shows that the
increase in the United States level
of commodity prices was 1O7 per
cent. In Canada, the increase was
115 Per cent, anj in the Unitei
Kingdom, 1873. For Frame. the
comparison was with the pc>ces OF
last Ma. to which time they had
risen 235 per cent.
In all the countries, the rise was
accompanied by an increase in the
amount of money in circulation and
in the amount Of bank deposits. In
the United States, the per capita
circulation in 1918 was $34.65. De-
cember /, 1918, this had increased
50 per cent, to $56:23. During the
same time, bank deposits in America
increased almost threefold.

PRESENT HIGH PRICES
NOT CAUSED BY WAGES

Shallow thinkers who blame high"
wages for present living costs get
little consolation from report on
Economics Of the Construction In
dustry," isued by the division Of pub
ment Of the United States department
of labor.
It Is stated that "the rise in prices
during the war was not merely the
result of a great demand for goods
but was largely brought about by
means of initiation Of the currency by
the government at war and by the
neutrals, either by the dirct issue Of
paper money or by the issue Of bonds.
ALTHOUGH war orders are now
largely a thing of the past, the ex-
tension of credit still exists as a con-
tinuing cause of high prices. There is
little to indicate an early contraction
of credits"
The report states that wages are not
likely to be lowered, and that if the
production capacity of industry should
be greatly increased, lower prices
would not necessarily follow.
Attention is called to after
prophecies that the armistice would
release large numbers of men who
would flood the labor market and re-
duce wages and price levels. 1.-THE
expected great fall in prices has not
occurred it is stated. land is not
likely to occur.'
The report includes statement by
Prof. Irving Fisher, of Yale university
who says that there is little likeli
hood of fall in prices in this coun-
try, and that "tt1e present rise in
prices has resulted from the great eX-
tension of credits by the countries at
war;

brokenly from 1896 to 1912.
Mr.. Gillett's party conducted the
war with Spain. As wars 90, it
wasn't much Of a war; about one
per cent as large an undertaking
as our part in the world war, which
was conducted with about one hun
dred times as much efficiency. It
wasn't fought long enough ago for
the kind of food the soldiers ate;
the plaques that swept them away
in the camps until the death rate
appalled, the country, because of
poor sanitation, or no sanitation at
all, and a hopelessly incompetent
medical service. Nor has the coun-
try forgotten that favoritism ruled
over efficiency in the commissioning
Of officers; that the expeditionary
force to Cuba was commanded by a
general too fat to walk and who had
to be carried about on litter, and
who owed his preferment to his per-
sonal friendship for the secretary of
war. Compare the record of Shafer,
in Cuba with handful of men,
with that of Pershing in France with
two million, and then think of the
impudence of Republicans in men
tioning such thing as "indecision, -
'aimlessness, or "blundering."
During successive administrations
from 1895 to 1912, Republicans
talked of banking reform; the DEM
ocrats established the Federal Re-
serve system; Republicans talked
of farm loans; the Democrats estab-
lished the Farm Loan bank system
under which farmers have borrowed
nearly $200,O0O,O00 at a low rate
of interest and on very long terms.
The Democratic administration sub
stituted deeds for words.
Americas achievements in the
past two years astounded her allies
and overwhelmed her enemies; they
are the brightest page in history
and they were accomplished under
the leadership of a man Mr.. Gillett
has the effrontery to call dream
er'' and an "idealist."

ANONYMOUS FIGHT on THE
LEAGUE.

Who is inspiring and financing
the circulation Of anonymous letters
and circulars against the league of
nations? Large quantities Of this
hostile literature are streaming into
homes and shops and offices. 1t takes
the forms Of patriotic appeal to
the recipient; it masquerades as Il
movement Ito preserve American
rights and traditions"; it quotes
Scripture, history and Republican
orations; it proclaims a holy war;
against President Wilson and the
Democratic, party.
Why should persons so full of love
of country be SO mysterious-or
modest? If these patriots are in
curing SO much expense to save
their native land, why shouldn t
they have credit for their noble un-
dertaking? Why remain anonymous
when their fellow citizens would
welcome knowledge of their iden-
tity?
The subtle suggestion in all these
letters and pamphlets is that Presi-
dent wilson is wrong in advocating
and the Republican leaders are right
in opposing the league of nations.
They are clearly designed as propa-
ganda for Republican votes. Their
purpose indicates their authorship.
They are anonymous evidently be-
cause it is regarded as unsafe to i'm
pose on Republican leaders the re-
sponsibility for this manner Of
bushwhacking.
If this method of attack on the
league should succeed-but there is
no likelihood of that-Republicans
would be the gamers. If it fails,
they could escape the odium of hav-
ing resorted to the meanest of all
weapons-an anonymous letter..

Here is a bit of biography that is
of peculiar interest in these days of
the attempted dominancy of Messrs.
Lodge, Knox, ct al:
when the war drew to a close,
1t was he who began alone the task
of making peace. He had nearly
completed the work when his COL
leagues appeared in Paris, and by
incautious words broke the web so
carefully spun. - Finally,
boldly disregarding the instructions
Of congress, he emerged from all
complications with triumphant
peace"
Is this tribute to Woodrow Will
son: Looks like it, dosen't it? Well,
1t isn't! 1t Is portion of a eulogy
delivered by Senator Lodge to the
memory of Benjamin Franklin for
the part that the noble old patriot
played in winding up the Revolu-
tio2ary war. There are those who

"The sooner the nation is put to
