PRICE FIxERs SHOULD BE CARE
ELI

From the Columbus Enquirer-Sun:
"All that the consumer will stand
seems to be the rule in fixing prices
these days First thing the price fix
ers know the consumers will form a
union and strike.-Albany Herald.
"All that the consumers will stand"
is correct, and the sooner the price
fixers understand this and act the
sooner will there be steps taken to re-
lieve the situation which is rapidly
approaching a stage where it is well
nigh intolerable.
First thing the price-fixers know
the consumers will form a union and
strike" says the Herald, in humor-
Gus sort of way, but The Herald may
rot be indisposed to look upon that
very utterance as stating something
like the truth.
The consumers may not form a
union, but they may strike and if
they should do so it would not be
very pleasant for the fixers of prices
who are putting on all that the traffic
will bear.
We are not an alarmist. We have
never tried to alarm the people. On
the contrary, we have endeavored at
all times and every circumstance to
be conservative, and we do not wish
to be regarded as an alarfnist now.
But facts stare us in the fact that
we cannot get around. Conditions
and not theories confront us. The
average consumer is, as they say on
the street and elsewhere, up against
it." They are compelled to have such
commodities as the dealers have for
sale. The dealers know they are in
this sort of a fix, and they fix the
price at such figure as they believe
the buyer will stand.
But how long are the consumers
going to stand for such prices? That
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1919-08-05

is the question. 1t is a question fol
the price-f ers to study and study
we'll The consumer cannot under
stand that now, since the war is over
since hostilities have been stopped
cessities should continue to advance
with the promise or prediction that
ere long there will be still further
sharp advances. And not being able
to understand these things, with the
country on a peace basis and produc,
tive industry again in full swing,
these consumers, sooner or Later, are
going to cease wondering why condi-
lions are as they are. They will take
action.
We trust that the price-fixers will
not be so blind to their own interests
and to the interests of the people gen.
erallc as to cause the consumers to
resort to methods that are not pre-
scribed by law. But this fact should
be rendered: When men get hun
CRY; when their wives get hungry;
when their children and their babies
cry for bread and there is not suf-
ficient money in the house to buy food
to appease this hunger, there will be
such danger threatening this country
as has not, perhaps, threatened it
from the inside within its history.
The price-fixers would do well to
have a care, and they should do so be-
fore it is too late.
We do not wish TO alarm any one,
but we feel it to be our duty to speak
a word of warning in the hope that
greed and selfishness may not plunge
the country into turmoil from which
it. will be most difficult for it to
emerge.

will. 1t was superiority no man will
ever be able to explain away. 1t was
a superiority that excited the greatest
admiration of fighting men in Eng
land and France. DR.. Frank Crane
said the secret of that superiority lay
in the fact that we had pursued peace
for century. Was he right?

KNOCKING THEM LOOSE

A panic would be preferable to the
eVer-increasing costs of food supplies.
That may seem radical statement,
but the country can better adjust itself
to a great drop in food prices than
it can meet revolution which will oc-
cur in all economic and industrial life
ii the cost of living keeps mounting.
Just how vital is this thing of food
cost IS now being manifested in the
agitation from one side of the country
to the other. 1t is the very life of the
nation itself-its food supply is. Let
the profiteers build Il wall around the
food supply and then watch results.
Nothing since this nation became re,
public has ever threatened its peace
and safety SO much as is the cost of
living at this moment. We are not
wrong in that statement.
Millions of them were knocked loose
yesterday.-+the proriteers. We should
never gloat in anything that unset
dies business, but we can but hope
that those who lost were the very food
poker players who deserved il most
More of them are due to so down the
chute today and tomorrow. That was
an army of speculators.-p people who
brought sugar to squeeze with ii, who
bought lard and meat to squeeze with
il. All of that robbery has to be paid
by the man who consumes it in food
supplies.
May the revolt continue to knock
the profiteer crooked and crazy. 1t is
time we stop sacrificing everything
in all other lines of industry to them.

AWAY WITH The BIG ARMY

|
plans otherwise are made with a view
/ of pursuing peace. In those pacific
! plans is wrapped securely the safety
of the nation. The peace loving peo-
| pie we have been for hundred and
forty odd years is the answer to those
who would know where we got our
strength.
We have been through war unlike
any, Of would have believed pos
sible. We are to face other wars I'M
like anything we have ever known, If
men and nations are permitted to pur-
sue their course as in other years, but
we do not need the army which Secre-
tary Baker wants. When wereally
want an army, it will be much larger
than that. | will be mustered and train
ed in widely different manner Com
pulsory military training, compulsory
military service, is no more necessary
in this country than is a pair of but
terfly wings for each working man.
We need not as yet take into occount
the league of nations.
We need not as yet take into account
we made in the war against Germany.
Nobody can say we failed. Nobody can
say we even went slowly to the task
Nobody will dare argue that we fell
short of a glorious victory, considered
from every military angle conceivable,
Some things we might have done bet
ter had we been stdying war for a
century. But we studied peace. We
must study it again. This is too
large a power to go at the business of
war preparation. 1t is national folly
Military prowess is dangerous thing.
Besides being costly beyond all con
ception, it eXcites world jealousies and
expends millions under other flags to
keep pace with it. War is no thing for
this people to seek.
The plans touching national guard
are fine This country will never in
vent better suited military organiza
tion to the nation we are than the
national guard. 1t is a necessary or
ganization and it lives in just the at
mosphere and manner that peace
full nation would require. 1t keeps down
the necessity of large standing army
and it in high degree fits the young
men for military service wherever
they are needed. Why a larger army
than 100000 or 100000 men suppl
mented by the national guard up to as
many men as the nation would need in
an emergency?
The idea of large standing army
is abhorrent. 1t CRATES hard on the
man who knows it is our business to
pursue the ways of peace. The larger
navy is likewise all fighting folly. 1t
is tremendous national expense. We
have a national pride and want to
take care of it, That is very good. but
we may get into many more rows
when we have "shootin iron" of
which we are especially proud and
have a 'hankerin" notion that it is
better than anybody.
While we are planning a great army
and a great navy, let us remember
that our greatness has all come out
of our peaceful pursuits. Lose sight
of that and we may not be so certain
of our future. We look upon the
large standing army as a menace to
our peace. 1t means constant troubles.
In Germany centuries to come the
historian will say that this country
put up a superior fight in the World
War. Germany knew More than that,
Germany was convinced against her
