Sunday, Oct. IL, was a trying
one to every country publisher
who sa wa copy of a certain
great Chicago paper of that
date.
The edition of the paper in
question on that day consisted
of one hundred and thirty-eight
pages, and the circulation for
that edition is presumed to be
on a par with that of other Sun
days-about four hundred thou
sand copies; perhaps more.
Fifty-fve million two hun
dred thousand pages of paper
used up in one day.
And this is but one Sunday
edition Of one daily paper out
Of ali Of the United States!
No wonder the small city
daily and the country weekly is
paying five times the price he
paid for print paper before the
war, and experiences great diff
ficulty in securing it even at that
prohibitiye price!
The LoEn made these publish
ers for some purpose, no doubt,
even though they be noting
more than Lords Day hogs.

THE republicans have carried
the Nation, and, will now not
only have the7 Presidency, but
both branche; Of Congress as
well.
A poor organization, a lack Of
funds, the loss o; the huge Ger
man-American vote and the mi,
grafton of more than a million
southernl negroes to RInorthern
states wheresthey voted, weie
some of the reasons for the de.
feat of the Democrats.
Discomfort with the Democrat
ic administration of affairs assid-
uously cultivated by he]:Repub-
lican leaders with endless money
at their disposal to control news
papers and periodicals has taken
form in a vote adverse to the
Democratic candidates.
The nations great record in
war has been maligned beyond
measure; nothing that the Demo
cratic administration has done
has escaped the walls of their
calumny. The public mind has
been poisoned with Ianti- Wilson
propaganda. But the American
people mot the ,German-Ameri-

fact that they..saw fit to throw

expenses will be reduced in pro-
portion to the reduction in his
wages.
Two material facts stand out
above everything else.
First, the public will not long
continue to buy at present prices
except actual necessities.
Second, prices can not be re-
duced to any great extent until
the cost of labor comes down.
We may never return to a pre-
war basis, but the above will be
the method adopted to return
production to something like
normal conditions.
We may be wrong in our pre-
diction, but this is as we see it
based upon existing conditions.

through life and into the grave
instead of leaving it at the
threshold. of manhood, as most
of us do.
Some people never really \en-
joy their money because they
never stop accommodating it long
enough to take a rest. They
forget the days when they were
whistling kids, and joy was
their portion in life.
Finally they die and leave
their money for their relatives
to scrap over and squander.
Perhaps they find in the here.
after the happiness they denied
themselves in this life. But we
doubt it. Even if they squeeze
into heaven they won't remem-
Der how to whistle.
Whistling kids who discard
their happiness in their prime
will become morose in old age.
You can change a leopard's
spots by daubing on a little
paint. But in time the paint
will wear off and the spots will
still be there.
So it is with man. He can
money-grub through the years
OF his prime and in the winter
VI NE ne can Iool the people by
assuming a happiness he does
not feel. But under the surface
the canker still works. It will
never heal.
Encourage your boy to whis-
tie. Induce him to whistle a
stirring tune every day of his
life.
Then he will carry his whist
ling to the>grave, and the harps
of the angels will be in harmony
with his soul.

Now that the people have spo-
ken their minds politically, let's
hope they get down to work
commercially. We need action
not oratory.
If people who never take the
trouble to vote were suddenly
disfranchised they would emit a
mighty roar of protest against
being deprived of their inalien-
able rights as a citizen of this
great and glorious land of the
free. 1t might be good way
to root 'em out Of their holes.

LOOKING AHEAD.

The Post-Dispatch does not
believe we are going to have a
\ panic in this country. We be-
lieve that all danger of such has
passed.
But we are having a period of
business depression. This is to
be expected.
Producers cannot afford to
continue paying the high wages
they are now paying without
keeping prices up - and that
they cannot afford to do, because
the public fs refusing to buy.
Now, the result:
The employing class are cur
failing production and are lay
ing off men in large numbers.
They will continue to do so until
production is at a minimum. In
some cases mills may close down
entirely. This action will grad
ually extend to all parts Of the
country and into all lines of in
sdustry. ~-~s~a
The millions of employees
who are thus thrown out of
work can not afford to remain
idle for any great length of time.
They and their families must
eat.
In time necessity will force
them back into the shops at re-
sduced wages, and production
will start up again, with a rea-
sonable profit for the producer
and a considerable reduction in
price to the consumer. The la
boring man will be no worse off
III the end, because his living
