Living Closer Together

Any man with his eyes open for
the signs of the times must feel
that the existing social chasms are
very dangerous. They are like the
deep crevasses in the Alpine SHOWS,
which widening under the ascend
ing sun, let loose the avalanche
No longer can people of large
wealth shut themselves up in their
palaces, and ignore those who live
in novels. People have got to learn
to live more on level, closer to-
eether, and with more intimate re-.
latioD with each other.
A great deal Of social unrest is Of
course due to pure envy. The poor
man sees the rich man 10 his ele.
CANT Limousine. If he be of a bit.
ter and resentful temperament, he
swears that he is going pull the
rich man down. He does not stop
to ask whether the rich man may
not have earned the Limousine by
his superior efficiency in service.
But careless, lavish, and selfish
spending of money tends terribly
to widen the social chasms The
people who have great incomes
ought to consider that these excep.
tional blessings are given them in
trust by the community. After
providing for themselves comfort.
able and abundant life, they ought
to be willing either to render their
service at a lower price or to give
large sums to public philanthroples
The money that a rich man
wastes in luxurious extravganc
would not be sufficient, if divided
among the public, to reduce the
average cost of living by more thar
a trifie. But the selfish spirit dis
played creates. bad feeling. There
won't be a good spirit of communi
ty cooperation, until people of large
wealth cut out all unfair grabbing
for money, and make a generous re
turn for the opportunities that soci
ETY. permits them.

the coming campaign.

the coming campaign.
Reports reaching the Division office
in st. Louis tell also of the cooperation
being extended by hundreds of SOL
diers, sailors and marines, who are
able, many of them, to tell first per
son" stories Of what the Red Cross
did for them while the fighting was
going on. These chaps are being en-
rolled as speakers, writer's and active
workers. In addition, "four-minute"
men, lawyers, newspaper men and
others qualified are scheduled to
address audiences during the campaign
on the subject of the Red Cross appeal.
Advertising Campaign.
Enthusiasm in the campaign is be-
ing stimulated by the appearance of
thousands Of posters, window displays,
Red Cross flags and other adjuncts of
the countrywide advertising campaign
now being carried on. Newspapers
are carrying page, half-page and
smaller advertisements bearing the
Red Cross message, while periodicals,
magazines and billboards, as we'll as
street cars, trains, mercantile estab-
lishments and department store win
dows, all carry their quota of Red Cross
advertising. Moving picture shows are
exhibiting Red Cross films in gigan-
tic motion picture campaign that has
for it's object the education Of the
American people to the present-day
needs Of the American Red Cross.
Red Cross campaign officials have
announced that the present drive is
one for membership, net funds. In
view of the large amount of work still
to be completed abroad and the re-
newed activity incident to the incep-
ton in America of the Red Cross
peace program along the lines of First
Aid, Junior Membership, Nursing and
Home Service, those in touch with the
drive situation say the prospects are
favorable for increasing Ped Cross
membership to figure well over that
obtained last year.

Get the Facts

The most astonishing difference
of opinion is manifested in regard
to the essential and principal
causes of high prices. 1t seems
strange that the American people
can 60 along suffering from these
conditions. without locating the
cause with a greater degree of
scientific accuracy.
The labor leaders say the cause
of high prices is profiteering. Other
people, while admitting that profit
eering helped. believe that the high
cost of labor and falling off of pro-
duction are the principal causes.
The workers have been trying to
lift themselves by their own boot
straps. and in getting their wages
advanced. have lifted prices by an
equal or greater amount.
Such differences of opinion as to
actual facts make it almost impos.
sible for the different elements 10
get together in such gathering as
the Labor Conference at Washing
ton.
The government should have
taken steps to locate more exactly,
by figures of scientific accuracy
how far these various causes are
responsible. Take the price Of
shoes, in which as a general thing
a shoe that used to cost SIS 90 is
now costing about $1,000 or S12 90
1t should be possible by studying
costs in a dozen representative fac
tories to determine with scientific
accuracy. how much of that ad
vance is due to profiteerine. how
much TO advanced wages. and how
much to lowered production.
Manufacturers. mildlemen and
retailers should be willing to show
up their books with utmost frank,
ness to get these facts determined
1t will never be possible for the
different elements to get together
until they can reach an agreement
on the exact facts of the facts oil
the case. Those facts must be de
termiUed through statistical inves

everyone shall have confidence.
