.GLIDDEN LOSES TO AUDUBON

9 GLlDDEN bOSES HI -AODUbON
In one of the best games played
on the home lot for many day, the
Audubon boys took the fast Glidden
team into camp by the score of z to
5. From the start it was plain to
be seen that the many, fans assem-
bled at the park were in line for a
game of real base ball. Glidden took
the lead right off the bat and held it
until the third inning when Audi
bon put three men oyer. Again in
the 9Th the visitors went to the
front with a one run lead but their
JOY was short lived for in the sew
enth inning with the bases full Stat
ford bumped the ball for three bases
and put the game on ice. Glidden
scored one more in the eighth but
failed to gather enough runs to win.

supposed to have and with one ex-
ception was never in a bad hole.
Kelley playing third base for the To-

handling several hard chances with

The visitors put up good game
and the fans hope to see them in &C

matters. While here he informed
us that he and his wife expected to

points of interest. Enroute home
they will go to Sturgeon Bay Wis,
where they will visit at the home ne
John Boiler who is at present mayor
of his home city. Mr.. Boiler made
his home with Mr.. Andersen when
he first came to this country and rer
manned with them until he became
of age. He is doing nicely in his
present location. MT. Andersen
will return home early in the fall
in time to do a little campaigning
before the November election.

RUSSIAN POLICY CONSISTENT

President Wilson's attention was
called to Lucerne report quoting
Premier Lloyd George as saying that
Americas present policy toward
Russia is inconsistent with the presf-
dents declaration regarding the
Prinkipo conference.
Mr.. Wilson was said to be inter-
ested in the reported statement OF
the British premier to such an ex
tent that the state department is en-
deayoring to confirm it. 1t is be-
lieved the president will make it
clear to the world that his policy is
not inconsistent with his previous
views.
State department officials would
not discuss the published interview.
The presidents attention was direct
ed to the report by Secretary Tumul-
| ty, who sent it to the White House
from the executive office. Er. I'd
multy would make no comment.
The state department feels that
the governments attitude toward
Russia has been entirely consistent.
It was pointed out in an official
quarter that the Prinkipo conference
in which the United States agreed TO
participate, was designed to coalesce
the struggling factions in Russia
an effort to settle family quarrel.
| But the recently proposed confer
ence at London, in which the United
| States did not agree to participate,
| was a proposal of an entirely differ
| ent character, designed as a general
peace conference with soviet Russia.
| Administration officials believe
| that developments in the Russo-Pol-
| ish war demonstrate that the Red
menace is not strong enough to
| crush the potential resistance of the
European states.
| This makes clear they contend,
that the American policy OF opposiI
ton to the soviet government and
support of tho integrity of Russia,
\ pending restoration OF national
| government, is correct and wise.
1t is pointed out that the alter
| nate victories and defeats of both
armies show that point has been
reached where the offensive morale
of cohesive military force cannot
be maintained and that the military
strength of the nations at present
becomes manifest only through a de-
fensive morale prompted by popular
consciousness Of national peril.
It is declared that events in the
| war make it undeniably clear that
the chief desire of the peoples of
Europe is to settle down to normal
life and that, despite the presence
of trouble centers and the activities
,of the sponsors and leaders OF var.
ious movements. no aggressive war
fare can be successfully undertaken.
Therefore, it is declared, bolshe-
visit danger to Europe has passed,
since soviet Russia has tried and
failed to lead the Red army into Of
fensive warfare even against ma
tion whose original attack is said
to have brought the bolshevik army
to its maximum strength.

ing, whether wages have risen COM
mensurately with the cost of living;
but to that question no authoritative
answer is given.
That Industrious statistician Mr..
w. Jett Lauck, recently laid before
the United States Railway Labor
Board an elaborate report on in
creases in cost of living and prices,
by classes of commodities; but it con-
tanned nothing about wages. He
also presented a still more elabor-
ate report on "The Relation Between
Wages and the Increased Cost of
Living" which proved to be chiefly
an exposure of profiteering. 1t
showed to what extent the increased
cost of labor entered into the in
creased cost of production and there
fore into the increased prices of COM
modities; the aim being to demon
strate that the rise in wages was not
chiefly responsible for the rise in
prices. Still, there was no COMPARE
son of the increase in wages with
the increase in cost of living.
II we turn to Government publ
cations, we get no more satisfaction.
In the Monthly Review of the De-
partment of Labor we find elaborate
articles and tables showing the in
crease in the cost of living, by years
and by month by places, and by
classes and kinds Of commodities;
but no parallel column showing the
simultaneous movements of wages.
At last, we light upon an obscure
little article in the Monthly Review
with the hopeful title of Index
Numbers of Changes in Wages and
be what we have been seking. Not
at ALL The article proves to be
lchlefly vague statements of what
the Investigating statisticians look
ed into, without tangible results.
However, by collsting the figures OF
several separate tables, we find that
between 1913 and 1919, inclusive,
hourly earnings in the iron and steel
industry increased from SO to 167
per cent, the average in all depart
ments being 121 per cent; that in
ten other important manufacturing
industries the increase of hourly
wages was from 81 to "a per cent;
and that in the same period the
cost of living Increased " per cent.
Now these figures, taken alone,
might be interpreted indicating
that wages had risen more than the
cost of living. We should not be
justified in jumping at that conclu-
sion, however, because the data Civ
en- are not sufficiently comprehen-
sive to form the basis of such judg-
ment. But those figures do strong
ly emphasize the need of having
them extended and amplified, so as
to show us year by year, the increase
of wages not alone in iron and steel
and in ten other industries, but In
all important occupations, including
manufactures, mining, railroads, ag-
riculture, and clerical positions.
Given such figures, properly CLASH
fled and authoritative, and set be-
side comparative tables showing the
advance in living costs, we should
be able to approach much more in
diligently and profitably the eco
nomic problems which now loom so
portentously in the industrial and
commercial world. Is there no one
in the Department of Labor who can
perform this Intensely important
task? It would be public service
of inestimable value and interest.

WAGES AND PRICES

No phase OF current economics is
more frequently referred to than the
relation between wages ana cost Of
living. None is more important, in
deed essential, to right understand

Just judgment upon demands for
higher wages. Yet there is none up
on which there is such an exasper-

EASTER TIDE.

This is Holy Week. Sunday was
Palm Sunday. the last Sunday before
Easter which commentaries Christ's
entry into Jerusalem when the null
titudes spread palm branches in His
path. Today is Good Friday. Special
services and ceremoniaIs are being
held throughout the week in our
churches. Next Sunday will be Fast
er. which is a festival day, comment
Grating the resurrection of Christ.
It seems that in America with our
great freedom we have drfted away
from the general Observance of these
transcendental events and neglected
to inculcate the great lessons which
they teach. This is deplorable. for
The observance of religious forms is
worldwide; religion is UNIVERSAL: the
difference is merely in the form of its
observation; and the Christian reli-
gion has been accepted wherever IN
derstood as the nearest approach to
true religious observance-and we as
a nation should strive to be 100 per
cent church-goers and religious OBJ
servers.

Often goes out with the crowd,
Where grouches are aired and the
