 Every pair of hands that touch q thing you buy adds to the cost to you
 Every middleman. between pro- ducer and consumer, increases the cost of living.
 It is interesting to note in connec- ton with the arrest of B French profiteers that their price boosting scheme resembles the American model in that toll takers line up between pro- ducer' and consumer
 For instance
 The second hand dealer sold army blankets he had purchased from the U- s. government to a grocer for s francs (These blankets were intended for resale to the poverty stricken Of the devastated regions)
 But the grocer sold them to a tailor for 12 francs each.
 The tailor dyed them. made them into auto coats and sold them to storel<eeper for 70 francs each.
 The storekeeper sold them to ''ulti- stricken districts-for 200 francs each

How Not to Check Immigration,

If the senator's who oppose the
House bill excluding immigrants for
one year could suggest an acceptable
plan OF regulation they would be in a
strong position, but in this they fail.
Every proposition submitted by them
gives new life to long g-standing evils.
! Our present laws forbid immisra-
tion. with certain exceptions, which
IN most cases are easily evaded. Hit
eracy shuts out few criminals and
anarchists. immigration stimulated
by labor contractore, now forbidden.
conos In just the same under the
guidance Of employers who supply
aliens already here with steamship
fares for relatives and friends. The
cash-in- pocket test is met by what
may be called a revolving fund, the
money needed to get by the inspectors
being used over and over again. FL
nally, the door benevolently opened to
sufferers from religious persecution is
wide enough to admit nearly all who
fail through any other avenue.
The House bill stopping immigra-
tion entirely for one year is repre-
sented as designed to check tempo
unlimated and to give Congress time
to perfect a policy that will be lust
to all concerned. To make exceptions

faith to devote itself to a solution of

Mr.. Harding's Methods.

After his conference at Mr.. Hard.
ing's at Marion yesterday Mr.. Bryan
is quoted as saying:
II believe that Senator Harding is
not only an honest and conscientious
man, but a man whose whole purpose
is to do what he believes is best for
the American people. 1t is not to be
expected that everybody will agree
on each proposition as to what is the
best to do. but / believe that when Ia a
man wants to do that, and IL that is
the one thing in his mind and in his
purpose, the American people will
trust him and will be hopeful"
Good intentions alone. would not be
enough. Opinion is general that Mr..
Harding is IAN honest and conscien-
tious man, whose sole purpose is to
do what he believes best for the Amer.
lean people"
The thing that will give the repub.
lican leader widespread support and
confidence when he brings forward his
plan for American participation in
stabilizing the war.racked world is
his method of devising the plan. He
is taking all pains to ascertain Ameri-
can sentiment on the subject. He
realizes that he will be the servant,
not the master OF the people, and he
wants to serve their interests as well
as may be according to their own
ideas Of what the occasion calls for.
Mr.. Wilson went to Paris without
any knowledge whatever of American
sentiment on the subject Of q peace
treaty, or of league Of nations to
preserve peace. He did not take that
into account before starting, and ap-
peared Indifferent during his stay
abroad as to what that sentiment
might be. Upon his return and ind.
ing strong opposition to what he had
done in Paris, he undertook to create
sentiment and conquer that opposi-
ton, and failed signally.
Mr.. Harding's plan may provoke
opposition. There may be warm con-
troversy over it. But it certainly will
not be open to objection Of having been
formed in a corner without. regard to
public opinion. Mr.. Harding's method
