 We must face the fact that unless we help Europe to get back to her normal life and production a chaos will ensue there which will inevitably be communicated to this country. For the present, it is manifest, we must quicken, not slacken, our own production. We, and we almost alone, now hold the world steady. Upon our steadfastness and self-pos- session depend the affairs of nations everywhere.
 It is in this supreme crisis-this crisis for all nankind-that America must prove her mettle. In the pres ence of a world confused. distracted. she must show herself self-possessed, self-contained, capable of sober and effective action She saved Europe by her action in arms; she must now save it by her action in peace. In saving Europe she will save herself, she did upon the battlehelds of the war. The calmness ar1 capacity with which she deals with and mast CTS the problems of peace will be the final test and proof of her sIacs among the peoples of the world.

We confess that we do not look with favor on the PROPOSE
ton to loan more money to the recently warning governments
of Europe. Money has but little purchasing power here now
and we think this country had best rest on it's laurels won in for
eign fields awhile and look after the folks at home. The argu-
ment by many of the large capitalists that 1--WE must loan them
in order to make sure of getting back what has already been
loaned" is fallacious, and is quite like sending out sure enough
dollars in the hope of getting back what may be a bad one.
Prices are too high at home now to send more money away.
Ex-Ambassador Gerard says we must let Germany have money
ito assist in rehabilitating her" So far as we are concerned,
we don't give a tinker's damn right now about "rehabllltatng
Germany. The more we contemplate postwar conditions In
the United States and think over how long our people are to
be burdened with taxes because of the hellishness of Germany,
the less we think the Germans are entitled to the consideration
of civilization. We have too many Overzealous people IN our
country who are installing a false philanthropy and mission
airy zeal for patriotism. The Scriptures tell us that he that
provided not for those of his own household is worse than an
infdel." We are straining at doing things for Europe. We
could not honorably keep out of the war. We had to fight or
forfeit our self-respect, but that job has been well done and
now let's not mess up that greatest of all jobs by giving Ger
any and those associated with us in whipping her, a blank check
on our surplus resources.
There is a great deal in knowing where to stop as well as
where to begin. So far as we are concerned, we are getting
devilish tired of high prices and we think We voice the sentl-
ment Of 80 per cent of the American people.

HIGH PRICES THE CAUSE.

The Bolsheviki in our Country are no doubt doing all they
can to initiate his Satanic majesty. They deserve either eXecu-
ton or deportation or both. But We fear there is motive be-
hind the voices of some who seek to lay the unrest all over the
United States to the |. w. WIS and the BOlsheviki-these are
scabs and sores on the body polite but all the ailments of the
body do not come from them. 1t is high prices and the piling
up of thousands and thousands of dollars by 25 per cent of the
population while the other IS are straining every nerve to make
both ends meet which is causing the unrest of the world. The
situation cannot remain as it is without a break somewhere
along the line that will greatly mar the National life. Prices
are too high on too many things.
And as a part Of the aggrevation Of the land, We have peo-
pie running everywhere seeking to enlist the public in mis-
guided efforts q philanthTophy and trying TO substitute out
ward religious forms for inward religious service. We are ov-
er-organized, over-priced and inflated with too many get rich

THE MISTAKE AND OMISSION HUNTER.

Of course a newspaper man, just like the doctor or any
body else, enjoys being reminded of his mistakes and omissions
because he knows full well that the wise guy who so readily
notes these things never makes a mistake or is guilty of an Omis-
sion CD It is indeed a pity that the only mistakes in a COM
munity are those of the editor CD Were it not for the fear Of
approaching what some might regard as the sacreligious, we
would apply for a search warrant to look into the archives of
recorded deeds to really see if there was ever anybody who
made a mistake beside the editor. However, the one cOnsoling
thing to the editor in having his mistakes or omissions pointed
out, is, that what he says is regarded as serious and important.
That cannot always be said of others. May the Lord have
mercy on the soul of the mistake hunter.
