GO TO THIS PROBLEM

1t will be infinitely better for con
gress and the people to take up the
matter of wages and the cost of living
right now. The man who is getting
three times the wage he got prior to
the war cannot buy as much food as
he was accustomed to get before the
war. All his living expenses have gone
so high that it is now much harder to
exist. The rail employees say that
condition has forced them to call for
more wages.
The management of the rail lines
find themselves in a most awkward
position with regard to keeping them
in self sustaining condition. They
are far on the debit side and still the
wages must go higher ii food stufls
keep on rising.
1t is highly proper to deal with this
vital situation now and with vigor
Many thing worse than this have been
settled Of the late and it is foolish to
fret about this.

tions, but they get what their desire
happens 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 rainy days are ahead,
be sure of that; they always are,
whether in the form of personal mis-
fortune or country wide panic, and
the man who has lived up to his means
is the first to suffer when the clouds
begin to gather. He has provided for
himself neither roof for his head nor
the wherewith to supply himself dur
ing the season of adversely.
1t is one thing to go about clad in
fine raiment and eating costly foods
and another thing to have no clothing
or food Whatso ever, and the man who
is extravagent in his day of plenty is
apt to be in sorest straits when the
harvest time is over. The business
house that has to carry such Gus
toner over the rainy day does not
prosper half so well as where the thrift
ty customer is prepared for all acca-
sions.

ExTRAvAeANcE PLAYS PORT

Reflecting the view of the present
day on the folly of extravaganza in
dress, the KANSAS City Times goes
farther and blames much of the pro
fiteering on the tendency of the pub
lis to buy, not only food and clothing
but anything else it may want ut any
price asked. The Times observes:
perhaps the feeling that money
counts for SO little and that it
might as well go anyway, and for
one thing as we'll as another eX-
plains in part this peculiar situa-
ton. Certainly the buying power
of the American dollar has been
decreased about forty per cent.
and some estimates make it de
cline in value still more. What
ever its exact value relative to the
pre-war period, money talks
more quietly today than for many
year"
Yet the enormouse amount of money
in circulation means that more PEG
pie are in possession of fairly large
Sums than in normal times. This, o
course, is readily explained by higl

sent time. and by the economy, large

THE SALVATION ARMY

THE SALVATION ARMY
There has been a big change in the
public attitude toward the Salvation
Army since the first decade or two of
its activities in America In the be-
ginning it suffered little short of per-
secuton. 1t was the butt of hooigane
in the cities 1t was considered the
height of Stun and small-town humor
to heave rotten vegetable at the
basis rdummer. Merchants protested
times obtained prohibition by ordin-
ance. Even some Of the churches deem
ed the work of the army as a species
OF emotional and questionable evange
ism. Others looked upon it with
amused tolerance
But the practical character Of the
christianity Of the Salvation Army
slowly dawned upon the public Where
ever vice flourished and misfortune
prevailed there it set up its banners
and waged its war The doWn-and- out
man or woman learned that there was
help and comfort to be had from the
Salvation Army and no question asked
1t established workingmen's hotels,
children's home, rescue and maternity
homes, nursery shelters, slum posts,
work and offered not only prayers but
advice assistance in discharge and
situations after discharge 1t establish
ed an annual Christmas celebration
for the poor and provided dinners,
clothing and toys.
The early estimation that the Sal
walton Army was a joke or fanati-
cism had passed away ere the world
war began, but probably until it en-
tered upon its war service the best
understanding of it's ideals and I'M
sefshness existed among the folk to
whom it administered But in France
more than 100000 young Americans
were made acquainted with the same
type of fearlessness that had stood
Salvation Army lassies in stead when
their tambourines. 1t was different
peril in France, but it was faced as
unflinchingly, as uncomplainingly and
with the same lack of thought of mat
erial rewad. Two million young men
of all classes now acclaim the organi-
cation.
So the Salvation Army has proceed
ed on its way cultivating material
soil for implanting the seeds Of its
doctrine. Thus it has won its places
against great odds. Thus it has gained
the esteem and confidence of the peo-
pie. There are countless persons whose
charity or benevolence is restrained
by lack of knowledge as to how to go
about dispensing it. The Salvation
Army knows. Money placed in its
hands lifts the fallen, makes the
world better for the unfortunate,
brightens life for the physical or NOR
ally exhausted. 1t is the great medium
for reaching and alternating the low
est depths of misery
