I'd always like to have a pack Of young

I'D like to take them roaming thru the
woods and by the streams,
And spend my life in painting peoples

For a man is never selfish, never tempted

No matter where he travels when he's got
a child along.
dread the time that's coming when our
babes will be all grown,
And the boyhood and the gfrlhood from
beneath our roof has flown.
What will take the place of laughter that

Who with come to this old codger with the
glad request to playT
When there are no glad surprises for the
eyes Of youth to view
And no children needing counsel what,

I like TO be with youngsters, like 20 have

And explain in language simple things
that they don't understand.
There's more joy in childish laughter and

Members of the senate agriculture
committee, not content with charging
the newspapers with having been de-
bauched by the packers, now have in
cluded the stockmen in their charge.
1t seems pertinent to inquire how the
wholesale grocers obtained their
backing in their war en- the packers.
1t is being pointed out that during
the four years in which she was en-
gagged in the Great War. England in
creased her taxes 1000 per cent. while
in the eighteen months We were in
the war we increased our taxes 1900
per cent. Those who mention these
circumstances probably do so with the
intention OF proving that we have
borne an unfair share of the burden.
But this is not necessarily true. Our
enormous expense was largely due to
two principal causes-one the distance
from the scene of action and another
the wasteful. extravagant American
way OF doing things.

AS a further means OF reducing the
cost of living the government should
relax its control of wheat as soon as
possible. The present food admins
traitor may know more about grain
supply and demand conditions than
any other one man. but it is doubtful
that he knows more than all the rest
put together. A free market would
result in a just price. and over-specu-
lation would provide its own penalty.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS.

change firm of New York and Chi
cago. have just issued a report upon
business conditions in the United
States. 1t is compiled from the replies
received to a QUESTIONABLE sent out by
the banking firm, which contained
thirty queries relating to the facts of
the business situation, the feeling of
business men and the public general
ly toward the many important eco
nomlc questions by which the people
OF the United States are confronted
and the policy that should be followed
by the government in the matter of
taxation.
In the domain of facts the inquiries
made related to the supply of money,
the growth OF savings, bank deposits,
the abundance or insufficiency of la
Dor. the tenacity with which liberty
bonds are being help, the crop outlook
and the prevalence of social and in
dustriaI unrest.
In their effort to sense and report
the feeling OF business men upon the
many proposals and problems that
press upon their attention, the firm
asked searching questions in regard to
the effect of initiation, the probable
duration OF our present prosperity,
operation Of the railroads by the gov
eminent. reconstruction loans to Eu-
rope. and the alleged existence there
Of some organized and sinister oppo-
sition to the extension of our foreign
trade.
In a letter which accompanies their
tabular summary of the replies re-
ceived they say that: Generally
speaking and in a peculiarly literal
sense the report may be regarded as a
counsel of optimism"
1t is made evident that credit, the
life-blood OF business. is in abundant
supply turnout the country. that saw
ings bank deposits are increasing de-
spite the high cost of living and the
alleged insufficiency of wages, that
business is prosperous almost every
whore. that merchants stocks of goods
are not abnormally large. that crops
are. upon the whole. above the aver
age, that they will be readily sold at
present prices. that the liberty bonds
bOub Oy NhS pcOple are DelnB gem
orally held except where the smaller
investors have found it necessary to
sell them, and that in at least two
cases out of three the returning SOL
diers are going cheerfully to work as
employment is offered them.
This is a remarkable report, coming
as it does only eight months after the
end of a war that has diverted the
entire nation from the paths of peace,
disorganized our economic machinery
and profoundly affected and changed
our habits of thought. AS against the
cheerfulness that it inspires there is to
be noted. says the letter, only a gen.
eral deficiency OF labor, an unwilling
ness to accept the further advance in
freight rates that seems to be newt
able and the general prevalence of
speculation that is always incident to
prosperity. with the higher prices that
are its concomitant and consequence.
