No Need of Pessinism

Secretary of Labor Wilson does not take much
stock in the "hysteria" over reconstruction prob
lens as they pertain to unemployed men, which
seemingly has caused considerable alarm all
over the country. He admitted that reports to
the department showed $4,000 unemployed men
at 1913 industrial centers this week, which is a
considerable increase over last week. but believed
that if the industries resume their pre-war act
ivities, the industrial world would easily assimi-
late the demobilized workers.
His views are of considerable Importance in
this connection because he himself has been a
laboring man and is thoroughly conversant with
the hopes and aims of labor. His statement indi-
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-02-01

Gates that he is not blind to labor conditions OF
the present time.
Everyone will admit that it is easier for an
employer to adjust himself to after-the-war con-
ditions than it is for the workers. who usually are
unable to save enough money to tide them over
period Of depression Secretary Wilson is right
in asserting that some form Of Legislation that
will be buffer to tide us through brief period
of unemployment" is necessary.
Most authorities on the question believe that
it will take from twelve to eighteen months to abb
sorb the labor released by the rehabilitation Of
the American army. Judge Gary Of the United
States Steel Corporation believes that if read
justment is wisely conducted, q great demand for
American industrial products, both for domestic
and export use, will follow. On this ground he
predicts that the problem of unemployment will
be solved in short time.
He also calls attention to the fact that the
per capita wealth of the United States is $50 to-
day in comparison with SIG at the close of the
Civil War. He is certain that the country is very
prosperous. Fifteen billions of dollars he as
serts are coming out of the ground annually, our
banks are carrying billions in cash, and finally
instead of being a debtor nation, we are now cred
tors to the world Of not less than fifteen billions.
The Indianapolis Star concludes an editorial
discussion of the problem with these words
There is bound to be a readjustment but that
should not be mistaken for set back to the in
dividual or to industry. We may have to take
less for what we have to sell, whether it is labor
of manufacturers, but what we get will buy more
and prosperity should be relatively the same as
it has been. There will be enough for everyone
to do and ready market for all we produce.
That should mean permanent prosperity but not
necessarily war time prices

Garments Of Brilliant Hues

Hitherto garments Of variegated hues and
brilliant colors have been associated with fash
ions for women, but this year the men intend to
become rivals of the fair sex. The inspiration
all in mems raiment is decreed for 1919 by the
National Association Of Merchant Tailors. To
use their own words: "Styles for the ensuing
twelve months are to be sprightly without. being
conspicuous-dash without verging on ex-
tremes, youthful in temperament and inspira-
tional."
Or in other words. mother may expect father
to come home some evening dressed in a suit of
more colors than the coat which the patriarch
bought for Joseph many centuries ago. And the
cut of the suit may be So "inspirationar' that
mother may wonder if father was in his right
senses when he permitted the tailor to convince
him that he needed sprightly garment in order
to be in fashion.
Furthermore, so the tailors dictate, men who
have worn flannels hitherto, as recreational
clothing will in 1919 deck themselves in garments
fashioned in silk, fine linens and other delicate
fabrics"
It seems therefore, that men will become
rivals in fashion with women this year and the
race, both to colors, fabrics and style of cut,
promises to be an interesting one.

BIRMINGHAM CAN GET
BUFFALO FOR zoo

Washington, August ESPECIAL. docs
Birmingham want a buffalo to vie with
Miss Fancy for the favor of the children
visiting the zoo?
II so, Birmingham should get into COM
munication with the Secretary of Ag-
riculture. 6 The current agricultural ap-
preparation act permits the secretary to
give or lend to cities and public insti-
tutions surplus buffalos.
Surplus buffalos! And everybody
thought the buffalos almost extinct The
following interesting facts are divulged
There are approximately 1000 buffalo in
North America. Canada has $500, and
the total number in the United States
is more than 5000.
This is seven times the number in the
United States in 1889, when the first buff
falo census was taken. So buffalo are
not extinct They increase. And thus 1t
happens that the United States is in po-
sition to stake them out throughout the
country.
OF the 5000 buffalo in the United States,
the government owns 1000 divided among
eight herds. Six of these herds are I'M
der the supervision, of the agricultural
department.
1t is not certainty that Birmingham
could get a buffalo, but Birmingham
might try If it wants one.

CUMMINGS STTRS UP
REPUBLICAN HORNETS

Washington, August 3.-tSpecia1 1.-The
republicans who for political effect are
investigating the activity of the demo-
cratic administration during time of war
not only take themselves seriously, but
are certain that it be possible for individ-
uals to be judged in contempt of court.
The limit in this regard was reached
when Chairman F'rear of the sub-com-
mittee of the general committee, charged
with Investigating aircraft, cited Homer
S. Cummings, chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee, to appear be-
fore it. When Mr.. Cummings had ap-
peared Chairman Frear demanded an
apology for statement which had been
circulated by the democratic publicity
bureau. That statement was to the eff
feet that the smelling committee" was
preparing to go on a junket westward
for the purpose of looking into the spruce
situation.
Mr.. Cummings was taken off his feet
by the au6acity of the rotund repu blican.
But when he recovered his equilibrium
he replied that while he had not author
lied the publication. he would assume re-
sponsibility for it, that his sole objec.
ton was in the fact that it was not
strong enough.
Chairman Frear again demanded an
apology Mr.. Cummings laughed.
You republicans who have said every
thing regarding the President of the
United States" he finally replied, should
be sportsmen enough to accept such mild
criticism. And / tell you now that
that criticism is not a marker to what
is to follow
Chairman Frear, very angry because of
the attack on his dignity, replied that the
committee would, as a result of it's junket
across the continent unearth much dem
ocratic extravaganza.
The spruce ilInlxet is moi tha or,Iv ilInkaf

pense of the government, is now en- route
to Europe. 1t thinks it will find evidence
