THE NATION ON
SOUNDER BASIS
Comptroller Of Treasury Pre-
diets Era of Prosperity Based
on Fair Dealing With Work
erS.

The nation is on the eve of {
great business revival, and it vii
be realized without the sacrifice OF
any of the gains won by the work
ers during the past few years, is
the opinion Of John Shelton Will
liams, Comptroller Of the Fedora
Treasury.
Indeed, Mr.. Williams is skeptica
of any progress that is not based
upon the material well-being of the
workers. eve need not" he says
depart from the eight-hour day
nor relinquish any Of the legitimate
benefits which the laboring man has
won and is now enjoying in the
shape of improved environment and
working conditions, in order to keep
this country on the highest plane
of prosperity and on a basis which
will enable us to compete with any
other country. The important thing
is that waste shall be eliminated
as quickly as possible, that all
prices shall be brought down to a
sound and healthy level, that eXces-
sive and eXorbitant profits shall be
dropped and that we shall go ahead
at full speed and produce"
Quite at variance with the atti-
tude of big business interests, which
are seeking prosperity through the
absurd eXpedient Of tieing the hands
Of wealth producers. The tyro in
economics knows that wealth is pro-
duced by labor, and when labor is
unable to function the world is los
ing by just so much from its gen
eral store.
One of the chief blessings Of the
war, Mr.. Williams holds, "has been
the movement towards equalization
and the decided raising of wages
of the working people to a fairer
and more equitable basis. This is
for the permanent betterment of
the country. 1t is to be hoped
that our manufacturers and work
ing people will appreciate the SIM
pie economic realities that are now
developing and that arrangements
will be perfected whereby labor will
be assured the right to participate
with capital in whatever earnings
of industry may be realized over
and above fair return on the cap
ital invested. Only on this princi-
pie can we expect to restore bust
ness, bring about renewed indus
trial activity and establish a per-
manent and countrywide prosperity
and contentment."
Prices are being held up. artifici-
ally, the comptroller charges, and
something must be done to force the
monopolists to respect the legiti-
mate demands of the public

Poisonous MOOnshine

investigations recently made by
prohibition agents revealed the fact
that persons who drink moonshine
take great chances with copper car
Donate poisoning. The poison comes
from verdigris or carbonate of cop
per which forms in copper stills.
None of the copper stills seized by
the prohibition agents in the past
few months were free from verdi
girls"
The fellow who wrote the above
paragraph tells the truth but not
the whole truth. The "moonshine'
which unfortunates guzzle in this
neck O the woods may have verdi
girls in it but there is moonshine
whisky made without a headache in
hogshead of it. We have heard
that the stuff sold by the bootleg
ging industry in this neck O the
woods is "trantula juice" wood al
cohol, Perry Davis Pain Killer, bug
juice, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
sheep dip" Jamaica ginger, hair
oil, red ink or any other old thing
that will make the user kick his
mother-in-lay and pay a fine; but
real moonshine, made by a real
moonshiner from moonshineland, is
a gentleman's beverage.
