The Keller Eagle says that as
might have been expected the high
cost of living is charged to the extrav-
agance of the poor" In this instance
it strikes us that the Eagle is distort-
ing the comments that are appearing
| in the press regarding the tendency,
of extravaganza among the people, in
which such extravaganza is said to
contribute to the high cost of living, or
at least putting wrong interpreta-
ton upon those comments. This paper
has commented upon the reckless ex-
penditure of people for luxuries. The
fact is patent to any one who has visit
ed any of the large cities in recent
years. 1t is conspicuous even in the
smaller towns. Take for instance the
craze for automobiles. We find no
fault with people buying automobiles.
They are a most delightful luxury. II
we had our wish every family in the
land would possess a car. But the
original cost is high and there is al
ways a constant drain for the up
keep. The editor of the Eagle is get
ting along in years. He can well re-
member the time when a man who
owned a team of horses and a buggy
that cost 1000 was looked upon as
bloated bond holder, a despised capital
list, and yet today $1,000 cars are as
common as flies and as many men
working for wages own cars as men
who are engaged in business repre-
scented by large investment. We have
never yet read comment on extrava-
gance wherein extravaganza is charg-
ed to the poor. Those who are criti-
cized for extravagant buying are those
whom the Bolsheviki would class as
the bourgeois And for that matter, all
of us are extravagant. We buy things
we could readily do without, and we
are going to continue doing So Why,
even our friend of the Eagle can be
classed in the same category, for he
confesses that he paid seven dollars
fer a pair OF shoes. Seven iron dollars
for foot covering! We have done the
same, even going a little sitter. II we
had had the nerve to swat old II. G. L.,
in the eye, we would have refused to |
buy shoes and returned to the prim1- |
tive bare pedals or invested in moe
casins. 1t is not the poor that is prod |
igal, it is the whole mass of the popu-
lation. 1t is habit that is growing on |
us, and there is no end to it in sight.

n ais speech making swing around

In Ills speech making swing around
the circle President Wilson is rather
playing the part of the Artful Dodger.
His tour is for the purpose of educat-
ing the public on the subject of the
league of nations 1t is noticeable that
he makes no effort to explain that por-
ton of the document of which there
is so much criticism, and dwels es-
pecially upon that part of the docu
ment that even the most radical op-
ponent of the league finds no fault. He
plays up the good points strong, and
slurs over or is silent upon those
features to which exceptions have
been taken by so many constitutional
lawyers. He charges that his critics
cannot understand the English Ian
guage, which is one way of saying that
he alone is capable of interpreting the
language in which the league is couch
ed, and that is not to be wondered at
considering that the president has
never shown any signs that he hated
himself. 1t must be admitted that his
speeches are almost classics, for few
men have the command of language
that has given the president reputa-
| ton of being one of the most flowery
takers of the age but large portion
of his addresses are confined to gilt
tering generalities," full of pleasing
sound and rather empty in convincing
logic and reasoning that carries con-
viction to the reader. Great crowds
turn out to hear him, he is given re-
spectful audience and his elegant ora
tory is winning followers. The strong
est point he makes is that the oppon-
ents of the league are offering moth
ing better as a substitute, although
he may have lost sight of the fact that
the opponents in the senate, really the
people he refers to as not understand.

Questions of large local import
have drawn attention from the league
of nations recently, but that Gordian
knot is yet to be cut. Whenever there
is Stacking of interest in other sub
jects before congress some oritorical
member of that august body cuts loose
telling the public in impassioned
words how the country is going
straight to the devil if the league is
adopted or how it is on the same road
to perdition if it is not adopted. What
congress should do is to settle the
league, one way or the other. Knock
it out entirely, accept it with certain
reservations or pass it as it came from
the Paris conference. So long as the
league remains a bone of contention
before congress that governing body is
going to pay little attention to domes-
tic affairs that need adjusting.

For once the administration exhib-
tied some backbone in handling the
railroad strike situation in California
Without just cause for their action the
shop and train men of California went
on a strike tying up transportation
for several days not even mail trains
moving. The government authorities
served notice that all men who did not
show up for duty last Saturday morn
ing would be considered discharged
and their places filled And Saturday
every striking trainman was promptly
on hand to take over his job. There
are cases where strikes are justifiable
but this strike was not one of that
kind Having browbeaten the present
administration once or twice before
the trainmen thought they could re-
peat the process whenever they felt
like it, but the worm at last turned.
Had the administration stood firm the
first time 1t was approached with
bludgeon these repeated strikes would
