CRISIS HAS BEEN REACHED

In past centuries, famine came after war as regularly as
night follows day. No profound study is required to see what
havoc war brings to the economic system, with producers be-
coming detroyers; with present resources drained and the fu-
ture mortgaged.
In the present situation, the crisis has been reached.
If the people of the United States behave wisely, the worst
Is past.
The bureau of statistics, department of labor, in its
monthly review has issued a table showing the rate of in
crease in the cost of necessities from December, 1914, to June,
1919.
Food prices, from December, 1914, to December, 1913,
increased rs. 72 per cent.
But in the period from December, 1914, to June, 1919,
the increase was 1929 per cent.
1t fell off 3.43 per cent.
Over the same periods, clothing prices (for men( declined
at precisely the same rate and there was a slight decline in
the cost of fuel and light.
On other items, such as housing, there has been an in
crease, but when all items of necessity are considered this
highly significant truth is apparent:
Washington reports a cut in vegetable prices from all big
market centers. In comparisons of 172 meat prices between
July 20 and August A, 407 cuts were found.
Profteers, like buzzards, follow the course of armies.
After a conlagration or an earthquake, hooters prowl.
1t is the duty of government to check and to punish the
profteer, and it is the duty of government to lend all possible
aid to oppressed consumers.
1t is the consumers duty to keep cool!
Meanwhile, natural laws are bringing abeyt reform.

Rlbbling Rhimes

BY WALT MASON

When Autumn comes, with Sooth-
ing signs, l grow so tired of swatting
flies, which light upon my roof!
Through all the weary months since
spring I've swatted flies, all fresh and
young, and first the call to arms Is
sprung, l swat the flies with glee; l
think it goodly exercise to chase and
execute the flies, but now 1t wearIes
me. Throughout the balmy days of
May 1 take my swatting stick ana
Stay, with fierce and ardent hand;
and when the roses bloom In June
my Berserk ong I weirdly Groom. and
swat to beat the band. And in the
neat of mid-July, I'm on the spoor
of every fly that still remains un-
slain land August finds me, stern and
grim, still rending buzzers limb from
limb, though bent beneath the strain.
But when the mild September comes,
the pesky fly n all his chums may
roost on wall and floor; though I have
slain ten billion flies, the CHASTITY
truth l recognize-there are ten bill
lions more. You've heard about that
tabled gun who rolled a stone thar
weighed a ton up hill forevermore;
no useful purpose he achieved, and
that's why he was panied and peeved,
and why his head was sore. No mar
enjoys his work on earth unless he
gets his labor's worth in n or other
guise; to roll a boulder up a hill un-
til ones feet get tired and chill, Is
much like Swatting flies.

"Give me neither poverty nor rich
es."
At one time everybody was asking
the rich man-officially and officially
How much money have you got?"
And If he made a false answer he
was counted a Mar.
But now, everybody is asking the
rich man:
What are you doing with your
money!"
And here is the real test of a man
whether he has a lot of money or
just a little bit. It's important to
know how much money q man has,
and how he made it, but society Is
far more concerned about what he's
doing with the money he's got.
And it's going to be very uncom-
Portable for a man If he isn't able to
give a satisfactory answer to this
question.
But we have as much right to ask
the poor man how he spends his
money as we have to ask the rich
man the same question.
The rich man may 10 a great deal
of harm If he misuses his financial
power, but the poor man may become
a charge upon society or the state II
he squanders what little money he
may have.
And it is probably true that the
larger number of shiftless poor in
the country are as great a menace
as the comparatively few unscrlpu-
lous rich.
Perhaps it is true thai no man has
a right to die rich, but it is equally
true tha no mar has a right to die
a pauper.

On Swearing

1t does seem as if we are getting
to be unnecessarily profane. One can
hardly pick up a paper with war
story OF our boys in France that is not
considerably embellished with for
hidden language. The circumstances
under which we fought the Hun JUST
fly almost any lurid language, if it
were not for the danger that our SEN
Sibilities will become accustomed to
shocks OF numberless dashes and
blanks. Most of our boys undoubtedly
have felt the Christening rod in child
hood for this very sin, shocked moth
ers undoubtedly have washed the
mouths of their small sons in an eff
fort to remove the faint of the first
naughty words; likewise prayers be-
deWed with tears are sacred memories
of childhood.
Allowing that the unspeakable Ger
man deserves the most unspeakable
language and the dictionary hasn't ad-
jectives strong enough to express our
feelings, where are we going to stop?
Can we assume it is only an epidem-
ic like measles, and swearing a sort OF
rash, a breaking out all over that will
disappear and leave no trace; or, is it
going to strike in and hurt forever?
We hope so, because we must never
lack in loyalty to them; or apprecia-
ton. We must never forget where
they have been and what they have
endured hut gather them home with
full and thankfn! hearts, and give
them full credit for the great work
they ha. q uUne.

Freedom of the Seas

One of the biggest problems to be
discussed at the peace table will be
the defining of the term, Freedom of
the Seas" All should be enlightened
on the subject Superintendent A. c..
kingsford submits the following from
recent issue of the Scientific Ameri-
can:
At about the time when Germany first
realized that the Allied blockade must
sooner or later beset such q shortage
OF raw materials &s TO make it in1possi-
BILE for her to continue the war, she dug
up from the ancient records of mari
time history the phrase freedom Of the
; seas and included it among the many
IS eecious catchwords and formulas which
sshe was accustomed To sprinkle through
cut her written and spoken propa sanda.
The freedom of the seas is the most
fair and seen1ly child in litter which
includes many another offspring Of Ger
man cunning; and she brought it forth,
or rather gave it re-birth. in the very
hour when she Was planning to establish
upon the seas with her U-boats a reign
of tyranny and murder which should
