Purchasing Power

n FTER all else has been said; after the labor
"A leader has pronounced his ulnatum and the
capitalist has exploited his sacrihces after econo-
nsts have expounded and theorists have theorized,
the one thing>on which prosperity here anywhere
depends is a high comparative average of purchas-
{ ing power. This may sound wise as the dictum
of the who said that all American politics
needed was a higher standard of wisdom and in
tegrity
Yet it is true that purchasing power,S the pur-
chasing power Of the many is the foundation stone.
This is not really news It, indeed, has absence
Of news value Mr.. Mckinley used to say some
\ thing about cheap goods making cheap men; tariffs
all use high wages as their chief bait and though
now, with the farmers the tempting morsel is high
prices yet with others those high prices mean the
buying power of the farmers 'a.>.
II Is this same purchasing power that is the
support on which rests the argument that cost of
living must be considered in fixing wage scales, As
an Offset, but to keep this high buying power.
ployers also insist and labor has agreed that guam
tity production shall be considered that they too,
may have the buying power to expand industry and
employment over merely paying a high wage scale.
Sss So it is that through and under every theory.
every pronouncement and every law. lies this fact
as to purchasing power. The problem is to keep it,
expand it. increase il without starting the endless
circic which takes Il from to give it to another,
in way that win spill all the beans" II in this
country. we had to consider only the United States
the solution would not be hard; until pow, has
been quite successfully accomplished because 1t was
in the main but a national problem go
What is new in ii, is that it has become inter-

maintain the American standard of purchasing
power up against world conditions. 1t is
realized that the purchasing power of the people of
other countries enters the equation quite
controlling factor. We have found that the buying
ability Of people depends quite vitality upon
that Of foreign nationals.
From raw materials to finished products from
the farmer to the wage Garner; from the tranman
to the seaman; from the exporter to the retailer,
from the banker to the borrower, we cannot get
awag from this new condition Economically we
are nexticably entangled with all the world. 1t is

low that the week dedicated to kindness to
animals is past. it will be well to recall there
was such week and that because it is gone
is no excuse for kicking the cat beating the dog
overlooking the wagon or robbing the birds nest
1t was not just week of new attitude to dumb
animals to be put oft<with the weeks end. 1t was
hoped to have lasting effect and in fact sgnalized
. remarkable accomplishment. If anyone doubts
that this movement as whole has been effective it
is but necessary for the adults Of think back
to their childhood To have collection of birds
eggs was laudablc a generation ago. Frequently
they were an ornament of the "what-not occupying
place of honor along with a variety Of nests The
boy who had the largest collection was an embryo
naturalist. 1t not that he knew birds, their
habits, their, characteristics; he only knew where
they nested and the color of their eggs.
1t was not that he loved birds and studied them
as friends, SO that they came to him, unafraid but
that the sight Of him brought terror. This is not
SO Children in Washingtons parks can be
seen any day feeding the birds. They play
mates, and this is true all over country. The
many game preserves consequence, and the
hunter who would shoot the mother deer elk
moose is not hero, but bad citizen with stigma.
Neither is there any longer envy of the man
who brings in the fawn trophy of the chase.
Rather there is wonder that he had little heart
TO kill it. There is no longer the lust for killing,
and the hunter who goes out just to kill, is dis
credited by his own fellows, if he is not also law
breaker. Today are coming to indeed realize
that
He prayeth best who loveth best
Both man, and bird, and beast.
He prayeth best who loveth best,
All things both great and small.
For the Good God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.
II is this spirit which is being made part
Of child life. II is this spirit which is being incul
Gated into child life II reaches out from love and
and comradeship with domestic animals, from

FIRE AT CAMBRIA.

Last M Monday night, at about mid
night, fire, caused by an overheated
furnace, completely destroyed the
general store of William J.. Evans &
Son at Cambria, together with the
records Of the postofice and the entire
stock Of general merchandise. The
latter was valued at. $50, 600. The
brick structure was completely Quilted
by the flames, and the loss to the build
ing salone is placed at over $4,000.
William Evans, Jr., and wife and two
small children, who occupied the upper
floor Of the building, were awakened
from. their sleep by the smell of smoke,
and barely escaped from the building
with their lives. All of their household
goods and clothing was complete
loss. The general store of Max Thomas
close by, in which the Cambria ex-
change of the New Ulm Rural Tele-
phone Co. is located, wasf fthreat tened
for a time. just across the street is
the residence Of Daniel Harris, and a
lumber yard to the rear. Had the wind
been in the opposite direction, the
lumber yard would undoubtedly have
been destroyed. Another thing in
favor Of the village was the fact that it
was raining, and roofs were damp.

for congratulation for an artist to

severe demands on the artistic

applauded Spalding, not only as q
native artist, but as a well poised
and finished musician. When
Spalding later appeared with the
National Symphony and The
Beethoven Association, he con-
firmed the opinion that this best
Of American violinists may be
very favorably compared with the
best Of any nation. His technique
is finished and easy, and his tone
is one of singular purity and

1914. ana I have e. word of praise
md bit of criticism for the director
&C athletics
First let me- say that the enlarge
ment Of the stands on the football
field last year was one Of the most
progressive steps ever taken by
Notre Dame authorities and due
credit must be given the athletic di-
rector. This year, when they were
enlarged a gain and a first class team
brought here, South Bend showed
her appreciation of the coach's ef-
forts by some 90. goo testimonials in
the form of admission tickets.
How many South Bend folks have
YOU heard say, THAT is the first time
J have attended a game at Notre
Dance" The town is really sup
porting the team now and in return
me athletic director should support
South Bend.
The criticism I have 10 offer is
