COST oFLTVNG.

Cost Of living has become a phrase used by
everybody these days and people seem 10 as
sumo that it means some definite cost level
Does 1T Does ii mean the same thing that it
would have been accepted to mean few years
agoF Presumably people are talking about the
necessary expenditure In order TO live accord
ing to d standard, and this standard Is gener-
alig accepted as one close to the line Of real de-
IflgatIon But has not the great tide Of money
paid for everything changed the general notion
81 the standard without this being duly recog
nizedg Are We not talking about the cost Of
liking On much more expanded and expensive
lines than we used TO live or talk about?
III it be true that we have raised the living
plane, then in part certainly this accounts for
the risen cost. 1t is not in itself thing TO be
regarded as danger; if We have ability to live
gnore fully as people, it is an achievement. But
il is important in thinking of living costs to
give thought to what sets the standard. What
living costs are we talking about?

The Situation Chances

Cedar Rapids Republican: The
shoe situation is said to be changing
back east--and it suggests return
to sanity. A Boston commercial let.
ter says that t'the shoe manufacturers
have gone into the market lootrin :
for orders, which is the reversal OF
the recent situation in which they
found themselves compelled to refuse
orders" The retail merchants are
waiting for price reductions before
buying. They are only preparing
themselves for conditions which they
believe will obtain next fall and WIN
ter. They are looking ahead and
they want TO buy shoes for future
delivery that viii meet the price ana
buying conditions that may then pre-
vail.

number Of votes. AT the outset
of this. proceeding there was some
evidence of a politicai and party
interest; attempts were made to
head off, the inquiry. But as
the evidence accumulated of over
whelming popular approval OF the
investigation into the fitness of
these socialists TO sit as lawmak-
ers that effort was abandoned
The politicians concerned IN it
were reinforced by considerable
number Of perfectly sincere men
who doubted the constitutionality
and the wisdom OF a move TO deny
what they called the right OF rep
resentation to SO large a body of
voters They overlooked the fun
damental fact that the right Of
representation is not uncondition-
al: that the right TO be represent

exercised under conditions pre-
seribed by the constitution and Ire
laws. The assembly finds and
decides that the socialist organize

A Treatment to

Health authorities now agree that
most colds and influenza begin in
the nose and throat.
There germs multiply in fhous-
snds Of crevices and pockets known
as germ nests"
A single germ may grow 70 mil
lions in a night. Mucous discharges,
stufed-up head, coughs, colds, and
influenza often result
Health authorities have long
advocated antiseptic, preventive
treatment They say colds and in
fuenza rarely occur If these germ
nests" are hygienic and healthfuI.
Yet to and a safe, effective treat
ment seemed hitherto impossible.
Science Finds Remedy
Medical science, after countless
experiments, has found q treatment
to combat germ nests" lis amaz-
ingIy effective. Yet it is safe. Six
years of testing prove that beyond
question
This trea.men.is Men-tho-eze-
a scientific, antiseptic cream.
To relieve colds or stuffed-up
head, use the Men-tho-eze Day"
treatment shown above or the

than in any political contest since the
days of the ,Civil war; the issue is
clearly drawn between reaction and

So it is that on this coming Labor

The masses Of the working people
OF the nation understand the great is
sues that face them. The one SUI
preme issue is whether liberty shall

It is the great hope of the organiz-

that tRe path Of industrial democracy
may bosmarked by none Of the blund-
ers of extremism. Such democracy
az we have yet to attain must: be OBJ
tanned through the institutions of the

BY SAMUEL .GoMPERs.

WASHINGTON. Sept. '2.-The omi-
nant spirit of the age is no longer
religious creeds or forms, but inlus-
trial relations of social life. Where
the former are not in touch with
these, they cease calling out our en-
thusiasm. It is this new spirit which
now controls our thought and action.
Because Of this new spirit Labor day
this year Is unusually significant.
The spirit that made our war a
great crusade, and that made our
wonderful army a host of crusaders
sworn to fidelity and human rights,
lives in everything that is truly
American and demands expression in
the acts of our public representatives
and of our government.
In wanton denial Of this nobility of
thought and concept, the Hessians of
greed and plumber seek to ride down
the rights Of the people and destroy
their liberties. The enemies Of labor
have given to their servants the man
date that labor must be crushed, it's
rights and liberties denied.
