TINE leading topics Of interest
IL in the past month have been
the crops and the strikes.
Tie crops have come along finely.
Ths wheat crop 10 fully as large ss

oHncerned promises TO be on about
the same basis for the coming year
~ for the past. The cotton crop,
however, is disappointing and
nkeiy to be short of the worlds
needs. The tendency Of clothing
materials 10 now upwsrd, but man
ufacturing costs are slightly lower
aAan last year.
The improvement in industry
has proceeded so far that the
amount of enforced, unemployment
i scarcely more than in any time
Of moderate prosperity. but the
pending strikes have mot only
stopped the earnings of the strikers

pi6yment and iiosses In other QUAR-
Ssrs- President Harding has been

yelopment of a permanent policy
for the preservation of peace; and
wfoiesome working y Conditions.
The miners rejected ythe proposed.
The President has also made "A
proposal for the settlement of the
railroad strike, but at this writing
the outcome is undetermined.
With these strikes In industries
that are vital to the public welfare
oat of the way, the outlook is
good for IA Il BUSINESS, although it
cannot be said that a con1plete and
equitable readjustment of wages
and prices has taken place. In
dustrisl costs, in which fuel and
transportation are leading factors
are too high for the prices of'fsrm
products and raw materials gen
orally, and full measure cs pros
perity cannot be realized while this
remains the case. - ~
It goes without saying that the
two strikes are 4 very grave
menace to the public welfare. The
Industries cannot run withost coal
and transportation service. Unless
. settlement is reached, ia<sAtraes

will close down, wages will stop
for millions of people, food cannot
be supplied to the cities, public
utilities such as waterworks will
be unable to function and society
will be faced with calamity even
greater than war, because women
and children will suffer as much
a. men.
II cannot be supposed that the
strikers are indifferent to the suf-
fering thus threatened, and which
affects the. families Of all classes
alike. They must assume that their
opponents will give way in order
to prevent il, but there is az much
Obligation to protect the conn
munity on one side as on the other.
Every Individual and group has =
responsibility to society but So
ciety ought not to be dependent
upon the grace Of any min ority.
It must have the power to protect
itself. 49,
The Common InterestN in Order
One of the FIRST conditions of
civilization IS that there shall be
orderly methods of settling differ
ences IS they arise between mem
bers of the community, according
to principles based upon equity
and the common interests, instead
of allowing such issues to be
fought out with fists or clubs OF
otherwise. The appeal 10 force

cept as society itself may discipline
its unruly members. TIN = Y1t9of
II is a condition of every game
Ia which rivals contend that there
shall be rules and authority to en-
force them and decide every ques-
ton that arises Abolish the UNI
pire and the rules, and the game
disappears. If you care for the
game, support the authority that
maintains il. r'@r
The trouble with lhe strikers in
these cases is not that they con
tend for what they believe to be
their rights, but that they refuse
to recognize that other rights are
involved, and that all rights are
entitledrto hearing together and
to adjudication in an orderly man
ner. Moreover, the matter of frst
importance 10 that there shall be 4
method Of settlement that does not
interfere with the common ser
vices necessary to society.
When il is affirmed that the pub
lie interest must be paramount, ii
does not follow that individual in
terests are sacrificed. On the con-
trary individual interests are pro-
tected by the maintenance of pub
lie authority. That is illustrated
by the regulation of traffic in the
streets of a crowded city. The
regulations are 4 restraint upon IN
dividual freedom In the streets, bat

is believed that Minnesota and near

hospitals in Minnesota caused the
American Legion to collect a fund Of
its own and start building a hospital
at Rochester. This hospital will take
care Of between $50 and $50 mental
cases among service men. The le-
gion's hospital, which will be oper-
ated in connection with the Mayo
clinic, will look after surgical and
general cases. Director Forbes also
announced that he has decided
against the Great Lakes naval train

hospital will be OF 500 beds capacity.
