~ BSERVERS of business are
almost unanimous in their as
surances that there is better
feeling" about business.
Just exactly what this recurring
phrase means is difficult to state.
= 1t might be descriptive of any of a
dozen psychological changes that
could enter into the situation. If
it means that people generally have
begun to realize the causes that
have thrown industry out of bal
ance, and to appreciate the things
that must be corrected before con-
ditions come into equilibrium again,
then we should say that the re-
ported better feeling" constituted
an important advance toward nor
malcy. If, however, the better
feeling" means simply that people
are merely smiling and waiting
more patiently, rather than setting
themselves seriously to the task of
wage and price reductions and other
readjustments that are necessary,
then we fear that it signifies but
little.
There is fresh evidence constantly
that the readjustments are taking
place. They are slow, but it takes
time for knowledge of conditions
to reach all classes and divisions of
the population, and for them to
make up their minds to give the
cooperation that is necessary to
bring industry back into balance.
Meanwhile, it will aid in the cultiva-
ton of patience to realize that con-
ditions are by no means so bad as
they might be, and that considering
all the circumstances the volume of
business is really surprisingly large.
The fundamental difficulty upon
which revival of business waits is
still the inequality of values as be-
tween the various classes of goods
and services. The normal basis OF
trade between people in different
it is only by the pressure of painful
experience that the old relations are
restored.
The producers of cotton, corn and
oats, wool, hides, sugar and food
stuffs generally are getting no more
for their labor than before the war.
Among the principal items of ex-
pense TO them is clothing. They
produce the raw material for it, but
under the modern system of indus
try sell it and buy it back in the
form of garments, paying the trans
portation charges, mill-workers,
garment-workers and all middle
men by supplying food and raw
materials to everybody.
All of the people who have part :
in the conversion of wool, cotton
and hides for the farmers use are :
still getting 100 per cent or better |
above pre-war wages, but naturally
they are not all at work. for the /

KILLS HIS FAMILY
AND THEN SUICIDES
Kentucky Man Burned House in At
tempt to Destroy Evidence
of the Crime.
fey The AssonIatad nre..,

CORBIN, KY, Aug. 6--A triple muir
der suicide and an attempt to DESTROY
all evidence of the crime by burning
the house was revealed in the dis
covery early today of the bodies of
Richard McHargue, Ms wife and her
step daughter and Mrs Polly .McHar-
que, mother OF Richard McHargue, at
her home. Conclusions drawn by To-
cal officials were that McHargue had
killed the women members of the fam
lily and after starting a fire in one of
the rooms in an effort to destroy evil
dence of his action, took his own life.
The crime occurred within three
blocks of the Corbin postoffice. AL
though the McHargue home is In a
thinly populated section of the town
and separated from it by a small
stream. neighbors today said they
heard the sound of pistol shots at about
o'clock Friday night and We're in
clined to the belief that the tragedy
was enacted at that time. The mother
of McHargue and his wife were found
in one room of the dwelling while that
of the man and his step daughter We're
in another. The girl had been stabbed
to death and badly burned.
No motive for the crime had been
developed today, although residents
remarked that McHargue had not been
on friendly terms with his mother and
it was said that he had been heard
to utter threats against her.

industries and in transportation be-
fore this situation is reached. 1t
has been contended, and with much
force, that living costs should lead
rather than follow, wage reductions,
and they have led at the expense of
the earnings of farmers and at the
expense of profits and dividends,
brt they have reached a point where
further price reductions are depend
ent upon wage reductions. These
reductions, however, will not mean
loss of purchasing power to wage
earners, for the very reason that
wages are now the principle factor
in prices, and the cost of living,
generally speaking, will decline
accordingly.
On the other hand if further re.
auctions are not made in the in.
dustries indicated, living costs are
likely to rise. Already the farmers
are organizing for the purpose OF
curtailing the production of agri.
cultural products. The cotton crop
this year will be 25 per cent below
the average amount required under
normal conditions to meet the de-
mand. Plans are being developed
to curtail the production of food
stuffs. These policies are justified
by the combinations of wage-earners
and others to maintain wages and
the prices of town-made products at
an unfair level above farm products.
The whole system of restriction is
wrong and in the end defeats the
purpose in view of lettering living
conditions for those who PRACTICE it.
When everybody practices il the
result is poorer living conditions for
all. The best results will be OBJ
tanned for every group of workers

evident reason that the farmer cam
not buy as many clothes at the
present prices as when his own
compensation was on par with
the compensation of these people
with whom he is trading services.
A similar problem faces the wage
earners in all the industries. The
wage-workers in agriculture have
the situation before their eyes, and
have yielded to it promptly. The
wages of farm hands have dropped
approximately one-half. Farm hands
were close enough to the situation
to see that it was that or nothing.
The factory workers, railroad em-
ployes and town workers generally
are many of them working for the
farmers and will have TO face the
same situation. Unemployment ex-
lists on a large scale because goods
cannot be sold, and they cannot be
sold because the industrial situation
is out OF balance. Recovery will
come as the balance is restored and
cannot come otherwise.
1t is greatly to the credit of the
wage-earners as class that the
process of readjustrnent has pro-
ceeded with as little friction as has
been the case thus far. Generally
there has been willingness to make
