THE COST or LIVING.


i Persons looking confidently forward
to reduction Of the cost of living
Through legislative enactment have q
llong period Of pleasurabIe anticipa-
ton ahead Of them land little else.
The cost of living can be reached by
Legislation only to the extent that it
IS affected By boarding and profiteer-
ing, and our present laws are ample
/ to deal with such situations if the
government is inclined to act.
Aside from the fact that past ex-
periences with Investigations show a
deplorable lack of beneficial results,
| it must be readily apparent that the
work of obtaining conclusive evidence
of boarding and prOfiteering is not
easy. The fact that certain amount
of food is held IN storage is not proof
of boarding, for the storage Of food
is essential to an adequate supply. To
make charge of boarding stand it
must be proven that the food in stor-
age is being held for the purpose of
controlling the supply and boosting
prices. Getting at profteers is even
| more difficult, not only because the
basic value must first be established,
but also because profiteering is much
more general and widely scattered
than boarding.
Nothing is more common In this
country than Investigations to correct
evils and fix blame. There is no closed
season for Investigators. And next in
commonness is the failure of investi-
cations to bring relief. Months Of
time are consumed in investigating
and after the public has forgotten
Iall about the affair the Investigators
make a report and the matter is
dropped.
This, of course, should not oper-
ate to stay the government from at
tempting to secure whatever relief is
possible from the evils of boarding
and profteering. But the public will
be less disappointed if too much is
not expected from the great activi-.
ties now being displayed in govern
ment circles.
When all is said, the real and only
law that deeply affects the cost of
living is that old and inexorable law
of supply and demand. We know that
by reason of the more than four years
of war the reserves of the world have
been exhausted and that enough time
has not elapsed since the war ended
for surplus of food to be accumu-
lated. Until the granaries Of the
world are again filled the cost of food
is bound to be high, and the only re-
lief that can be hoped for will be in
the measure that boarding and profit
eering are found to be responsible for
prevailing high prices. We are all
inclined to believe that this measure
is very large, but the facts in the case
will have to be substantiated by some
thing stronger than mere belief be-
fore any relief can be expected, and
then only to the extent that the gov
ernment makes earnest and energetic
erort to produce the relief Rock

When we separate farmer and mer-

WHAT THE NEGRO WANTS.

/ have read in your issue of August
20 r. FL. Leayell's article, "What Does
the Negro Want ?" and your editor
ial note thereon. | venture to think
that Mr.. Leavell is mistakena in say
ing that the Negro wants only equal
opportunity. What the. Negro really
wants is identical opportunity, a full
and free social and political inter
course with the white. He accepts
segregation only as the second-best
thing and because it is the best he
can do. It is because the Negro child
is made to feel uncomfortable in the
general public school of Ohio that ne
is sent to school for his own race.
say this because I have seen some
of the methods used to make the Ne
gro know that he is not welcome
mate in the Northern school. I ap-
prove the opinion of the editor that
segregation will bring the best results
for the Negro, but no one North or
South should be blind to the fact that
what the Negro really wants is free
and unhampered social intercourse.

MINISTER EXPLAINS
HOW GOD FINDS SOULS
DR.. Palmer in Sermon at Bap-
fist Church Gives Expert
ences of Prominent Men Who
Heard Call From God.

DR.. Ray Palmer preached Monday
evening at the First Baptist church on
Gods Clarion Call TO Confession"
Matt. 10:31-32. whatsoever therefore,
shall confess me before men him will
confess also before my Father who
is in heaven, but whosoever shall deny
me before men, him will l also deny
before my Father who is in heaven"
The speaker said in part: Jesus
Christ lays down the one condition of
salvation, we are to confess Jesus
Christ with the whole heart and with
the entire life. Every man should con-
fess Christ because God commands it;
because it Is test of loyalty and be-
cause every man owes it to himself
Shakespeare is right when he says, to
thine own self be true and it must
follow as the night the day thou canst-
not then be false to any man. We
should also confess Christ for the sake
of others. No man liveth unto him
self, and no man dieth unto himself.
Some years ago Or. Charles ID. Finney
was conducting special meetings in
Buffalo, N. Y. One night the judge
| of the appellate court sat in the gall
| lery. God said to him, you must go
down and confess Christ tonight. The
! Judge answered, You would not eX-
pect me, the prominent Judge to go
down there like common sinner to
confess Christi God said to him, L
am the judge of the universe, you are
| a common sinner like all sinners, you
must confess Christ, or be lost. The
| judge arose, walked to the platform
where DR.. Finney was preaching and
said, DIR. Finney, l desire to puulcts
confess Christ. The minister permit
| ted him to do So The judge then
made the statement before that great
congregation that l have just made to
you. He confessed Christ and became
a Christian. The influence of that
mans conversion was powerful. Nearly
every lawyer of Buffalo, through this
mans example became a Christian"
