 The citizen of Phoenix who an nounced last week he was maintaining i a family on S44 or s45 a month, and the other citizen who thought the figure too low because il cost him $101 a month to keep a family of six, includ- ing all necessities, have created rather more excitement than they expected to, judging from expressions on the street
 The other day a group of three men was standing on downtown street corner talking over the cost of living stories that had appeared in print They agreed on one thing at once: none of them could live on s44 q month without family, much less supporting a family of even two, instead of six on S101.
 How do they do it?" said the first man. T have hard time making my $50 month keep me and the wife going
 Wish I knew" said the second man My rent amounts to $50 month. Of course, that's high, but it's the cheap est decent place I can find. and l cant make my wife live in a pig pen. Food costs about the same for the two of us. but we're light eaters Gas and lights are sS. phone $2.25 There's q s110 a month for the two of us, not counting clothes, incidentaIs and amusement I think I'm doing well to live cheap"
 We'll said the third man ..if one of these citizens will teach me how to keep the wife and kid on less than $50 I'll give him fifty outright, and it'll be cheap teaching at that. Just show him to me-
 At this point fourth man. a strane- CT who looked anything but prosper ous took occasion to interrupt. ..yyiu you give me ten if I tell you how to Keep yourself alone on nothing2" he demanded craftily.
 It depends" said the third man Ieli me your proposition and I'll see.
 Get in jail,' said the man. ~Tt oidh cost me cent to live all last lrron.h- llh was in jail all the time.

 A friend back from France brings this l true story about Charles M Schwab
 While Schwab was motoring over Euro- pean battlefields in company with, among others, high French and high British l offfcer, a discussion arose as to how lSchwab had been able to infuse such en- l thusiasm into riveters and other shipyard
 workers during the war. One officer | claimed that it was chiefly the magic of
 the Schwab name and reputation which did the trick At this point of the talk the party reached river which had to i pe crossed orr. q temporary bridge com posed of boats and they were held up until blanks capable of carrying automo- i bhes inY safety could be laid down.

New Orleans, March 1.--The contrast of influences in the market was any thing but lessened by developments over Sunday. Technical conditions in March. high goods prices ana the cold spell of weather were the principal sustaining factors while general news supplied an effective counterpart with the announcement from the federal re serve system being of greatest prom thence.
 Market expressed the contract by ir- regularity. It opened unchanged on March with liberal offerings at 39e. while first trades on May were un- changed to 10 down and the late posi- tlons opened about 4 up.

WILSoNIAN WORLD SOCIALISM

Because Europe is hungry, cold,
INT IN desperate financial straits,
Mr.. Wilson would commune to ca
tend her credus from our treasury
and send her food from our haryests,
all tending to BRING Europe up and
American down to a common econo-
mic level. World socialism is his
doctrine. The United States, accord
ing to him, is entitled to no special
advantage because of her vast natur-
al resources, the resourcefulness and
energy of her people, and the fact
that almost $50 years g they had
the courage to throw off the yoke
OF monarchy and assume the reins
of government themselves. But the
people OF this Country differ from
that view. They see no reason why
they should be taxed TO support ma
tons whose destinies are guided by
hereditary rulers, and in the affairs
OF which the people have little voice,
and who now permit the influences
of Boishevism to wreck their indus
trial structures, making little effort
Themselves to repair the wreck of
war.

AMERICAN INDUSTRY THREAT.

Our foreign commerce can be re-
tanned only by extension OF long
term credits to customers in Europe
and in South America, says Edwin
r. Sweet, acting secretary OF COM
merce. With the pound sterling at
$685., the French franc at 10 cents
and the German mark at about )
cents, il is impossible for these peo-
pie to pay cash for their gods
/ hey would have to pay on an aver
age about two prices for anything
they bought from us, and our cost OF
production is sufficiently high al
ready. Thus our manufacturers viii
have to wait for their money until
the rate of exchange improves, which
may take a year or two. South
American buyers have always de-
manded long credits, and they have
always been able to get them from
British and German manufacturers.
The result has been the almost total
extinction of American trade south
al Il boundary line.
American industry has been keyed
up to the highest pitch of produc-
ton by the war. Enormous plants
surrounding the manufacturing en-
ters for about a hundred miles has
have been installed and the country
been almost denuded of men by the
superior attractions OF the city. In
less we can find purchasers for our
goods our production will have to
be slowed down materially, much of
the machinery scrapped and the em-
ployes turned out to find work where
they can, with the farm the only
bidder for their labor,
Another difficulty threatens. Il
the European nations do not buy our
goods we will not be in a position
to buy theirs, and they will have no
money to pay the interest on their
enormous debts to us, for the most
of them are practically bankrupt. L
is only by the restoration of normal
trade that they can cover
The remedy is TO establish long
credits, says Mr.. Sweet, but he does
not explain how it is to be done. A
manufacturer canno pay his work
men with European promises TO pay.
and he cannot long continue TO pay
his bills in cash if there is nothing
coming in. The situation car be met
only bv pooling our financial re
in some wav ~ furn'"h back
ing for II manufacturers. otherw'e
we will lose the industrial predomin-
we have enjoyed for years

IDLENESs BREEDS BoLSHEvISM

The statement that "idleness is the
father of Boshevism" is very large
ly true. Idleness means under-pro-
duction, with consequent scarcity and
high prices and low income means,
want, and discomfort. The solution
Of the problem is, go to work. The
ablebodied man who is idle these
days cannot make that an excuse for
being a bolshevist. There are many
farmers who have not yet husked
last years corn because they couldn't
get help. There are many farmers
with wood-lots on their property and
with less than a weeks fuel in the
shed because they can't get men to
cut wood. Construction of all kinds
is delayed and postponed for want
Of labor. To paraphrase an EXPIRES
sion of President Wilson's. used in
another connection. idleness is not
only unjustifiable. ii is a crime.
