We have read SO much about the
prices coming down, and have waited
SO patiently for the effect to reach

Men and women are perverse and
inconsistent anyway. A man would
not walk on the street with woman
who had cigar s1uck in her mouth
or who was squirting tobacco juice
into the gutter, and woman would
not walk down the street with a man
whose outside clothing allowed his
underclOthes to show through.-Em.

Next to the duty of the individual
man, woman and child to save and
accumulate is the duty of lawmakers
to stop the ascending scale of public
expenditure, curb the demands of self
expanding officialism, and reduce the
fixed charges Of government which
have become exorbitant and indus
trially paralyzing and prohibitory.-

facing congress. Nevada and other
states have vast domains to be set
tied, but should be open to Americans
first-Virglnia City (Nev.) Chronicle.
Legislation is being blamed nova
lays for almost everything you can
think of. When prices were high we
blamed the government, and now that
they are coming down we are in
clined to blame the government for
that. too. But the government just
can't make the people be good, and TIN
champions of virtue by legislation
ought to realize it.-Kemmerer (WyO.)

What Is more needed in the daily
press Of today is clean, helpful, con-
structive thought, the kind that will
inspire us to better work, instead of
