HOPE OF VETS BLASTED

The late decision of the Supreme
Court, affirming the validity of the
wartime prohibition act, is a severe
setback to the hopes Of the "wets."
They were preparing for at least a
month Of drunken carousals before
constitutional prohibition becomes ef-
fective on January 18th. Most people
will be thankful for the decision. for
the reason that the country has ad-
justed itself to present conditions and
will approach and comply with the
new order without o hitch.
There are many questions to be set
tied about percentages and the man
ner of carrying out the provisions of
the prob bition amendment, but unless
the president proclaims peace within
a month. ws shall be spared the spec.
tacle of few weeks Of unseemly
revelry and debauchery. To open up
short period for drunken excesses
would not DO the best thing for any
body or for the country.

What one sees when he goes away

people engaged in farming had re-

but in the first decade of this century
it had fallen to 346 per cent
1t is reasonably sure that the aver
age farm acre in 1910 was not as fer
tile as that Of 1850, because in more
recent years a large acreage OF semi
arid land has been taken into cultiva-
ton. But thanks to better methods
of cultivation, the average acre in 1910
was producing little more than that
of 1850
During these sixty years, wealth per
capita had risen from about three hun
dred dollars to about thirteen hun
dred dollars. Since 1910 we know il
has increased yet more rapidly. But
a large part of this increase has been
due to the increase in the market
value of land, which is but measure
of the desire for land and not the
power Of land to produce.

The increase in wealth per capita Is
not a safe measure of the power OF
a people to support itself. The farmer

ing about ten times weather. than
the farmer OF 1880 with his S1.7 acres; !;
but he is getting not more than one
tenth more food from his land.
The real source of increase in agr!'
cultural wealth is the increase in the
power of an acre OF land to produce
units of food. 1t is this measure that

PARALYzED INDUSTRY

The late coal strike. following inn

came as near paralyzing the indus
tries Of the nation as anything that
has ever happened In this country.
The closing down of many factories
and the curtailing of train service,
on account of the scarcity of coal,
has been somewhat calamitious in its
ultimate effects. At q season when
the mercantile industries ought to
have been the most active, restrictions
had to be placed on the use OF fuel
