FOR SPEEDING

And now what do you know about
This; Governor Cox, regular Demo
cratic candidate for the highest Office
in the American nation, has been ar
rested for speeding.
OF course we are not surprised that
the Republican cohorts have become
alarmed at the name in which he
is speeding UP his race toward the
White House. Already he has scared
Senator Warren Gamahel off his front
porch. while Mr.. Roosevelt has SO
worked up the party out here in Ok
lahoma, that Governor Lowden in
tends to come all the way from Hi
nois, just to make a speech In this
state. d how any of the campaign
funds sent ~ the Sooner state were
spent.
But for a measly cop, in an Ohio
the champion runner Of the Demo
cratic party that he is exceeding the
speed limit is, to say the least, going
IL a trifle strong.
Now, Of course this action upon the
part Of the misguided minion Of the
law, will in no way affect the ulti.
mate outcome Of the race between
Jimmie and Gamaliel, for Jimmie al
ready has such a start that Gameliel
will never catch him. even though
ne has deserted the front porch and
prepared to go out into the short
grass country, drumming up votes.
Nevertheless We are still Of the
opinion that the cop who made the
pinch must have been some mis-
guided son Of the q. Q. p, who
labored under the mistaken idea that
he could put a damper upon Governor
Cox's political s~peedometer when he
halted him for exceeding the speed
limit.
In the meanwhile Frank frank
Roosevelt, to be more expllcit) is car
rying the gospel out into the land
Of the non-partisan leaguers and con
verting them, w verify believe, into
believers in the league Of nations.

PRICES AND VALUES
New York Globe


Since the var the peoples Of the
earth have begun awakening grad
ually to the fac that they have
changed. Much greater than any
physical alteration is the change that
has taken place in mems minds, in
their habits and attitudes, in their
instructive responses. We go on
stoiiuly pretending nothing has hap
pened to US, but the fact Of a psy-
Geological revolution as extensive as
western civilization is apparent from
the most casual reading OF the news.
Summed up, the difference between
pre-wa and postwar humanity is
all a matter of standards. We have
lost our sense Of values, lost it so
completely that We are not quite
sure We ever mad it.
A laborer was in 1913 worth his
hire, and he knew and We knew
about what his hire should be. Now
neither he nor we know any other
guage Of what a man should get
except what he is able to get. In
1913 a pair Of shoes had a fairly
definite place in commerce. We look.

four dollars" or mo. that's too
much" Today the laborer and the
shoe retailer fix on a price that Is an
approximation between their dreams
Of wealth and their judgment Of what
they can get u of US. The sky is
the limit above and the depths Of
human depravity the limit below.
When the new freight rate Increase
becomes effective We shall stand help.
less before the salesman and pay
is asked Of US. There is
nothing else for us to do.
But the disappearance of the sense
Of value is nor noticeable in our
or disregard, for human life
than in any other direction. Death
by accident on the streets Of New
York, death in industry, death as the
result of attempted robbery, death as
accepted by-product Of our civil.
moves US hardly at all. 1t
is casual, negligible, except to those
personally concerned. 1t was the
that taught US this callousness,
and, ever SO, our own lack Of sensi-
bility is as nothing to the European
fatalism. War and death have be-
customary and matter Of fact
all the way from Ireland to Vladi.
And lives, We have discov.
cred, are like matches. If n Is
blown out we can use another. There
are always more.
1t will take some decades Of cen.
turtles to re-establish the dignity Of

are concerned, only transportation

mission.
There can be no question but that
the railways are entitled TO more pay
for the transportation of both freight
and passengers. Operating expenses
have increased most materially. The
price Of all kinds Of material used
in the operation and maintenance Of
railways has increased many fold
while the raise in wages paid TO rail-
road employees. by order Of the COM
mission which recently acted in the
premises, also adds to this cost.
We do not believe that anyone
doubts n the general public, the

upon whose shoulders will eventually
fall the payment OF the advanced
freight charges, Just as the traveller

senger will have the burden OF extra

ors should have, and are entitled TO

and the advanced rates in order that
they may meet the advanced wage

items of operating expenses.
But. while the advance IN rates is
Just and while the ultimate consumer
will have the burden to bear, the
wholesalers, the jobbers. the retailers

which they mark an advanced cost

come easily observable.
The 40 per cent advance in freight
rates applies to the one hundred
pounds. and this cost, reduced 70
and made TO apply to the
first cost on a pound Of sugar, q
pound Of coffee, a gallon Of molasses,
a silk dress or q pocket handkerchief
becomes SO infinitisimal as to become
negligible.
Therefore, we believe that 1t may
be i wise thing for the dealers,
wholesale and retail, TO watch their
when they mark the cost Of
goods, plus the additional freight
charges.

Under the above caption, the Ok

writer Of a pamphlet which posing as
q bit of upl1ft propaganda, attacks
the ~'indecency' Of modern dances.
In scathing terms the editorial
shows that the writer Of the pamphlet
seems imbued, himself. with the most
indecent ideas so that, in place Of
publishing a real uplift article he is
the author Of a booklet which is
