STRENUOUS BUSINESS TIMES

In 1910, which was one of the years of the Napoleonic adventure. the prices of commodities touched a point similar to the summit of prices in 1920. Then they began to fall and continued until 1S43 when they went up again. until checked by the paric of 1S47 Then real squirt came with the outbreak O fthe Civil War. fourteen years later. After the Civil War prices again de clined, until they hit bedrock in the hard times known as the panic of 93. That was season when farmers burned their corn for fuel, and a ten hour workday paid the laborer one dollar wage From 1896 the raise of prices continued until, between war and imitation, they hit new level, the gradual decline from which we are all familiar with.
 II k upon these ups and downs that the theory of cycles in prices is found ed If there is anything in that theory, then the present downward trend will continue over a period of years, busi- ness must make adjustments that call for the strictest economies and in dustry must count upon having com petition with the element of daily fight ing in it,

WELL, WHAT CAN WE EXPECT:

The American flag still flies over booze. thanks to A. D. Lasker. MT. Lasker is an advertising agent who took the solemn oath to support the Constitution and laws of the United States and administer the of fee of Chairman of the Shipping Board
 Now he is engaged in the business of advertising in every port to which he can send an American passenger ship, that the United States permits its officials openly to Haunt its laws.
 Liquor, all kinds of liquor. has been sold for months on the Shipping Board liners. MT. Lasker by devious methods sought to prevent the subject from being discussed publicly. He failed. His defense when the charge of i'm peachable viola ton of his oath of office was made, was the weakest imaginable He fell back on the plea that the liners could not sustain for eign competition unless liquor was sold, and in addition the Supreme Court had not finally ruled that the Eighteenth Amendment to the Consti- tuition was applicable to ships on the high seas.
 Few minds would have dared to formulate such excuses The com mercial side of prohi ibition with the question of it's financial necessity to government and private individual was argued for long years while this country was considering prohibition as a policy. The overwhelming sentiment which compelled the enactment of the prohibition amendment to the Consti- tuition and the laws for its enforce ment have settled that arguemnt. and made it the fundamental law of this land that neither government nor indi- vidual shall profit from an outlaw industry.
 As for the lack of a high court de cision. that excuse is nonsense, and de serves a worse name United States district courts have ruled the law ap- plies to United States ships. The De partment of Justice under a former chief ruled likewise. and MT. Lasker has sought no opinion from the present Attorney General to the contrary. He doubtless fears that MT. Daugherty could only repeat the former opinion. It has been the acknowledged law of the nations since earliest times that ship on the high seas is territory of the nation in which it Is owned
 The United States has held itself out as a nation intent on abolishing the evils which flow with liquor. There are few. very few, public officials who still express openly their opinion that the enactment of prohibition was ] mistake and that the country should return to license. These few have the right to their opinion and the right to express 1t
 But Mir. Lasker's Offense is differ ent: He is the only official high in public life who has dared openly 10 announce that he will not enforce the the Constitution and the law of the land nd-Dearborn Independent
