BUYING.

Rejecting the views of this newspaper on the folly
of extravaganza in dress. the Kansas City Times goes
farther and blames much Of the prohteering on the tend
ency of the public to buy, not only clothing. but anything
else il may want at any price asked. The Times OBJ
serves:
Perhaps the feeling that money counts for 50 little
and that il might as we'll so anyway. and for one thing
as well as another, explains in part this peculiar situation.
Certainly the buying power OF the American dollar has
make it decline in value still more. Whatever its exact
value relative to the pre-war period, money talks more
quietly today than for many a year.
Yet the enormous amount Of money in circulation
means that more people are in possession of fairy large
sums than in normal times. This. OF course. is readily
explained by high wages during the war and 10 the pres
ent time. and by the economy. largely forced, wh:e nos
tfIities we're in progress. While the big fortunes of the
war have gone into the hands OF the few. wage increases
and enforced economy for a yeaI Snd a naf effected
large portions OF the people. many of whom had not been
accustomed to the possession of more than actual expense
money before.
These people take high prices as a matter of course.
They ask few questions, but they get what their desire
'appens to be. That is not good either for them or for
the country. The skies are bright overhead, they say, so
why worry about the possibility of a rainy day? But
rain DAYS are ahead. be sure of that; they always are.
whether n the form of personal misfortune or country,
wide panic. and the man who has lived up TO his means
is the first the first to suffer when the clouds begin to
gather. He has provided for himself neltner a roof for
his head nor the wherewith 20 supply himself during the
season of adversely.
It is one thing 10 go about clad in fine raiment and
eating costly foods and another thing to have no clothing
or food whatsoever. and the man who is extravagant in
his day of plenty is apt to be in sorest straits when the
harvest time is over.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1919-08-08
HIS EYES ARE OPENING.

In our Washington dispatches it was stated that
administration officials were responsible for the state
ment that THE PRESIDENT WAS A~STOUNDED" at
the figures already presented to him showing how the
public is being gouged in the prices Of food and clothing
He has directed that every agency of the government
devote all of its efforts to restoring sane prices and the
criminal prosecutions already forecast are to be carried
into every locality where profteering is taking place.
according to Atty. Gen. Palmer.
Why should he be astounded? Doesn't his house
hold buy food and clothing? Doesn't he eat or has the
mistress of the White House no knowledge of the cost
of the table?
II may be stated again, perhaps boring our readers
TO the point of extreme ennui, that if Mr.. Wilson had
given more attention TO HIS " COUNTRY AND
