The PRICE OF ExTRAYAcANcE.

II there is way out of the present abnormal
economic conditions it certanly does not lie along
the road Of e1travagance and idencss. Extrava-
gance, rampant throughout the country, has
greatly increased consumption, and with its twin
evil, ideness, is responsible for the decreased pro-
duction. which in turn is the basis Of the present
high cost of living.
These are the conclusions Of the experts OF the
National Bank Of Commerce after careful sur
vey of the situation In the United States. and
they sound very distinct warning that until
Americans as individuals return to sanity and
spend at least as much time producing as they do
in consuming there will be no relief
These banking experts have not discovered any
thing new. They are simply quoting natural laws.
But in widely circulating these truths through the
Commerce Monthly they are rendering public ser.
vice. Labors demands for high wages and short
hours not entirely responsible for the country
Ills though they have good deal to do with them.
Undue extravaganza among people of means has
played its part
This is good time for Joint resolution by
capital and labor to end situation which has
brought the United States to a point where the
best that can be said after the first few months
OF reaction from is that industry has held its
own.

Mr.. George w. Hills Says Business
Man and Not Politician Is
Needed for President.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
The next President OF the United
States should be a business man first and
Republican or Democrat next. The
reconstruction and development of busi-
ness is the first vital necessity of this
country, as we'll as of war-worn Europe
But to Americans the reconstruction of
europe is secondary proposition, Ameri-
ca comes first of all. Therefore, the next
President whether Republican or Demo-
crat, should be primarily a broad gauge
business man. and not a politician. No
more academic idealists. dreamers hori-
1on visionaries or hearers of voices in
the air are desired. The country has been
ied beyond repletion on such diet for seven
long and weary years.
The next President should appoint to
the head of the War Department a man
OF military experience and tried capabil-
ity, one who knows his business. and
not politician appointed for political
purposes or from personal motives. Simi-
iariy. he should appoint to the head OF
the Navy Department man of thorough
naval experience, and neither a civilian
nor personal friend.
These positions Of high honor and trust
should no longer be used as political re-
wards FOR. prediction services or filled
by pes'ons unversed In the duties and re-
quirements of such technical and respon-
sible work. We have had enough and
more than enough Of nefficiency, autoc-
racy and favoritism. The country has
been nauseated to the limit and prompt
reform is universally demanded.
Exactly the same reasoning and public
demand applies to all other high posts
of responsibility in government executive
work. The national demand is for busi-
ness men. not for dummies or rubber
stamps. They should typify the qualities
that distinguish men in every walk Of
business life-honesty, backbone and ef
ficiency. "s*
Politicians of both parties are already
lining up for the convention battle, with
politics as the base of action and profess
sional politicians in the van as possible
nominees. The party that nominates
one hundred per cent business man who
will place this government on solid
business basis and forever uproot the
autocracy, inefficiency and favoritsm
that have disgraced the United States for
seven years past will win out overwhelnl-
ingly next November. . -

CIVIL WAR IN MEXICO.

II Is not easy to visualize Francisco villa an
ally OF General Alvaro Obregon. the man who
smashed the villa armies at Ceaya five years
ago. yet stranger things have happened In Mexico.
Just now Carranza seems determined to put down
all of his political opponents and the tactics he is
employing might easily bring about such a coali-
tion Us that hinted in dispatches from Washing.
ton yesterday. Here indeed would be formid-
able situation for Carranza to face. The northern
and central states of Mexico are always ripe for
revolution. and Obregon. like villa. is northern
man. villa does what he likes in chihuahua, and
there is little doubt that If Obregon raised his
standard in Sonora almost every fighting man in
the state would flock TO II.
Long ago villa put the city Of Torreon as the
dead line on any revolutionary activities under
his leadership. Two revolutions have triumpbed
up 10 that point only TO meet disaster beyond.
orozco didn't quite reach Torreon In 1912. but he
swept everything before him up to the outskirts
Of the city. villa captured Torreon in 1914 after

thirteen days of fighting. but beyond it was able
to do little. If villa and Obregon combined their
efforts there is little doubt that they could control
the northern states, and possession of these states
is possession Of very large slice of the wealth Of
Mexico.
Such combinations are not unusual in Mexico.
Without exception fighting leaders who have op-
posed each other have at some time or another
Fought together. Villa and Orozco fought side by
SIDE under Madero in 1910 and 1911. only to bit
teriy oppose each other year later. and there
many similar cases in the turbulent history of
the last nine years.
All reports agree that Caranza IS using the
army to oppress and persecute those friendly to
opregon's aspirations for the Presidency and that
IN many cities this has resulted in defiance Of the
government and in some instances actual armed
resistance. well informed border newspaper
reports that there is every indication that villa
IS recruiting heavily in Southern chihuahua and
ID Durango. 1t is long time since villa has
encumbered himself with large force, and his
activities at this time may have great significance
Civil war in Mexico might straighten out situa-
tion that has become sore problem for the United
States 1t is a much more desirable solution than
intervention. OF course. this country could never
recognize villa, but there is no bar to recognition
OF Obregon If he conducted successful insurrec-
ton, and the United States cannot afford to be
overcaptious about his associates

FIRST STEEL STEAMSHIPS.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD -
In a recent issue Of the Glasgow Citizen
was an article on Pioneer Feats," quoted
from your paper. in which a statement is
made that the S. s. Servia. built on the
Clyde in 1881 for the Cunard line, was the
first steel steamship.
In the interest Of historical accuracy
beg to point out that this statement us not
correct. the first oceangoing steel steam-
ship being the Buenos Ayrean. of the Allan
line. built in the yard of Messrs. Denny.
Dumbarton. In 1879: the second being the
Partisan. Of the same line. built In the yard
of Messrs. Napier Glasgow fnow Messrs.
Beardmore, Dalmuir). In 1880. The Paris-
an was launched in November. 1880; the
Servia in March, 1881.
II may be OF interest to add that, a my
instigat ton, the Partisan was the first
oceangoing vessel fitted with bilge keels,
the success of which was so great that
ultimately every vessel of the Allan line
was so fitted. i. SMITH PARh,

A THEATRE TICKET AS MERCHANDISE.

BY decision Of Judge Otto A. Rosasky of the
Court Of General Sessions yesterday in q case ap-
pealed from Magistrates Court. the city ordi-
nance for the regulation Of ticket speculation and
SPECTATORS was declared unconstitutional.
The appellants had been convicted OF refusing
to take out licenses their defence being that the
local regulation interfered with their right to
carry on lawful business. 1t was contended fur
tier by their counsel that the ordinance un-
institutional in that it involved the liking Of the
p1ic, Of merchandise, which cannot be done by
law.
Up to yesterday It was not uncommon to find
the following legend printed on the pieces of
cardboard which at the present time are asso-
cated so closely by their price with the high cost
OF living:-"If sold or resold in violation Of the
Theatre Ticket Ordinance, approved December 20,
1918, this ticket will be refused at the door,"
In this age, just as 1t is expensive to be born to
be educated to exist and to die so it costs lot to
be amused, while none but the rich have any right
to thirst seeing that only such can hope to have
the means whereby it may be assuaged. Alas and
aack!
So it seems, in view Of Judge Rosalsky's judg-
ment. which is now the law-and will remain such
II not upset by still higher court-that ticket
titling person to seat at the opera the theatre
motion picture performance or a concert is as
much piece Of property. subject to barter and
sale as pair Of shoes. an overcoat or pound Of
sugar.
And so a special significance Is given to such
common expressions as 1.-THE theatrical business" ;"
''the opera business" "the movie business" and
the musical business"
On the one side is the box office the producer
Then comes the middeman with the goods to sell,
at the price and ends by paying, because there is
no way out OF II.
Managers may object to the middleman, and the
public may. too, but it is hard to get away from
the fact that If there are ten persons with the
money In their pockets who want to go to theatri-
cal and other performances for every one who
can be accommodated competition Is bound to
produce a rise in price. Besides. while the num-
ber Of theatres increases ike the hotels il the de-
mand continues to keep ahead of the supply prices
will not come down and certainly will go up.
It is very much to be feared that the good peo-
pie Of this city who long for the return Of the
fine old days when they could go to the opera for
five dollars and to a play for dollar and a half
will be disappointed. Perhaps there are too many
inhabitants in this part Of the world, and then
again, perhaps the town is too attractive to Wis
itors At any rate It is difficult epoch in which
to i've. Demand and supply as principle will
have its way.
