The problem of the high cost of
living is serious. 1t is not easy of
solution. What the final answer will
be is in doubt; but this much is cer-
tain-that lower cost Of living will
not come through adoption of the
socialistic, communistic, bolshevist:c,
bureaucratic. paternalistic. and auto
cratic policies. American business
has been a growth-a development
a survival of the fittest. 1t is part of
the best social organization On the
face of the globe. No doubt it can
be improved, but it will not be i'm
proved il we get the notion that gov
eminent can supersede private initia-
tive and enterprise.

A WORD TO THE
AMERICAN LEGION

In a recent issue of the American
Legion Weekly the following editorial
appeared under the caption Policies
Not Politics." The editorial reads:
Mingling in local politics is a temp
tation and pitfall which posts through
out the country must avoid. Every
thing bearing on partisan politics was
put aside at the Paris caucus and
again at the st. Louis caucus when
the American Legion was founded.
Partisan politics has been barred
successfully from every considera-
ton and step in the development of
the legion thus far. This must con
tinue to be.
No doubt, willy politicians of every
denomination will be counting the
local posts. There will be crafty
campaigns to procure Endorsement of
this or that candidate for public Office.
1t would be more than a blunder for
a local post to engage in any such
activity. 1t would be an act of bad
faith. Policies-not politics-is the
watchword; and the policies are con-
fined to the pronouncements of the
st. Louis caucus and the temporary
constitution, pending the great No
vember caucus, where all men who
were in the service are to express
themselves.

REGARDING SALES
OF ARMY F~OODSTUFFS


Harm, rather than good, will come
from low-priced sales of army food
stores if wrong impressions are thus
given concerning advantages Of gov
eminent handling of merchandise.
Harm will come to American govern
ment, American industry, and the
American people, if a few sales Of
army supplies at less than the mar
ket price should lead to the convic-
ton that the government a supply
food at prices lower than charged by
private concerns.
The food sold recently to the pub
lie was bought in immense quantities
at relatively low prices, to which
prices there was not added the over
head cost of asking for, receiving,
considering and deciding upon bids,
receipt and storage of goods, trans
portation in army trucks, with all the
overhead expenses incident thereto,
wages of soldiers, wear and tear on
army equipment, etc.
1t will necessarily take time to COM
pute costs to the government and the
people in connection with sales OF
army foods. Local government Off
Gals have contributed their services:
local committees have contributed
their time, community buildings, such
as school houses, public markets, etc.,
have been used without allowance for
rent; citizens have bought in larger
quantities than they usually do;
newspapers have freely advertised the
sales; buyers have transported most
of their purchases instead of having
them delivered by the seller. Few, if
any, of these facts are taken into
consideration when people compare
prices they have been paying for
army food with prices charged by
local dealers.
The American people will gain
nothing by fooling themselves. I'm
doubtedly there has been. and still is,
much unconscionable ~profteering.
Undoubtedly the cost of living is ex-
cessively high because of the prof
teering. Undoubtedly that cost can
be reduced by a proper and wise pol
icy Of regulation, prosecution, and
punishment. But neither now nor at
any time in the future will it be pos
sible for any government agency to
engage in retailing merchandise and
do it cheaper than 1t is done by the
average retail merchant.
The average retail merchant is hon
est. Moreover, the average retail
merchant is efficient. The average
government official is no more honest
than the average retail merchant, and
he Is not nearly so efficient. If there
has been an unusual amount of prof.
teering among merchants during the
war, some measure of extenuation
may very well be pleaded because of
examples set in high places in gov
eminent service. When private citi-
zens-taxpayers-see government Of
ficials spend money like water; when
they see nepotism carried even into
the peace delegation; when they see
favoritism practised for the benefit CT
a limited class of w~age-earners: when
they see wanton waste displayed
without shame; when they see mex
perience and incompetency kept in

The Latest on Influenza

One of the main features Of the
annual meeting of the American Pub
lie Health Association held in Chi
cago, December 9-12, 1918, was the
appointment of a committee to draw
up and submit working program
for influenza. The results of the de-
alterations were prepared in bulletin
form. The following is brief re-
view Of some Of the points accepted
by the committee and the association
as whole and published in the Gin
fiuenza Bulletin" Dec. 10, 1913.
Influenza is limited to human be-
ings, and is caused by ali organism
which has not yet been identified.
The spread of the disease (and it
is extremely communicable is occa-
stoned by the exchange Of discharges
from the nose and throat IF those in
fected to the nose and throat Of per-
sons susceptible to the disease.
In checking the progress Of the
disease the danger Of possible carriers
among both sick and we'll and the
resultant necessity for the exercise of
unusual care on the part of every
body with respect to danger Of mouth
and nose discharges must be strongly
emphasized to the public.
Though youth and bodily vigor do
not guarantee immunity 70 the dis
ease physical and mental exhaustion
should be avoided and the best habits
of good health rigidly followed.
The use of sprays and gargles as
preventives was condemned, for it
has been found that, in influenza,
their use does not protect the mouth
and nose from infection but actually
increases the liability of entrance Of
the infective organisms.
The proper wearing of masks
should be compulsory in all hospitals
and is recommended for the general
practice.
The closing of schools and prohibI-
ton of gatherings are still matters OF
dispute Public Health
