Wages and Living Costs.

Most things industrial are measured by the
cost of living. The cost of living and the cost
of production should measure the wage scale
as well as the scale of profit of every selling
organization. The Iaboring man who is asked
to accept a reduction in his daily wage is
ordinarily willing to take it if he sees a
responding and immediate lowering in what it
costs him to support his family. There have
been reductions in many items that enter into
the daily cost of living. Yet the wage Garner
finds, somewhat to his establishment, that it
costs him more to live than it should and finds
in many instances he cannot make both ends
meet by the new wage scales 1t is this feel
ing that impelled the coal miners to strike and
which impels other working organizations to
damentals that enter into the cost of living
that do not come within the ken of the work
ing classes. One of them is freight rates.
Freight rates affect every item of expenditure
Food, clothing, furniture, fuel and every item
that goes to make up the budget of the working
household affected
The majority of working men are usually
willing to move along the lines of least resis-
lance If they can get wage that will permit
them to clothe and feed and house and educate
their families decently they will accept it. But
they, like everyone else, must see a way to
make both ends meet Whenever this is i'm
possible we shall find discomfort and appar-
entity insurmountable differences between la
Dor and capital

Memorial Day Is Sacred.

Today the nation pauses in its race
for dollars and fame to honor the memory of
those who gave their lives to the defense of
their country. The day should not be given
over to boisterous sports and to unseemly fas-
tivities There is nothing about the day to
make it festive Its purpose is to commemor-
ate the heroic dead. Surely for one day it
should be possible to restrain the craving for
frolicsome pastimes. Surely one day in the
year be and should be dedicated exclusive
~, quietly, decorously to the honoring of the
valient men who offered life freely in the serv-
ice of their country. No better compliment
could be paid, no better showing of profound
respect for gallant veterans, living and dead.
than to observe Memorial day with every pos
sible manifestation of grateful appreciation of
the services and sacrifices of the nations
heroes. Join in the memorial services. Go to
the cemeteries and witness the decorating Of
the graves. Be thoughtful Memorial day.
Think of what the gallant men OF the sixties,
of 1898 and of 1917, offered and of what they
suffered. and of the motives of patriotism
which prompted them.

stage and in the studios of the artist and the
sculptor. There are girls today doing work
which Audrey Munson followed that are happy
and able to hold up their heads But they have
not allowed themselves to be carried off their
feet by the adulation that proved the undoing
OF the Munson girl They have fought the
battle with a determination not TO divert from
the straight and narrow and therefore they
are happy. even though they may not be as
materially prosperous some of their sisters
who have elected to take the easiest way. The
easiest way, as Audrey Munson has found to her
sorrow, is. after all, the hardest way.
Beautiful women have always been an at
traction to men. Men have fought for them and
with them, and they will continue doing so as
long as the world endures. But the greatest
attraction woman has for man is her purity
"a virtue that radiates itself in spite OF any
other imperfections that she may have. A girl
fortified with spiritual strength such as she
gains her first lispings before her mothers
knee-if she permits that element to develop

flair to her. man will kill in defending the
good name of his wife, or his mother or his
sister He would do the same thing for any
other good woman, but he must be sure that
she is worthy of the estimate that he places
upon her.
Too many women play with fire under the
guise of good time the grounds that they
have as much right the opposite sex to enjoy
themselves. Did you ever study the face of
girl who after she has followed this course in
life for so long that she can't find her way
back to the point where she left off the life
that she realized she should have led? If you
have you will understand why Audrey Munson
has been trying to die. She has had what is
known aS good time. It's not good time.
It's travelling in hell under false banner

The Bitterness of Fame.

Audrey Munson, not so long ago noted as
the most perfect sculptor's model" for the
third time has tried to take the suicide route.
You may wonder why young woman-she is
only 2S-with such fixed position in life
would want to leave behind world in which
she had found 30 much to be thankful for. Yet
she had her secret sorrow in spite of her ap
parent success Her physical charms had
proved her undoing. notwithstanding that her
ability to earn large retainers in her wcrk
brought her all the material comforts that she
craved-
Thousands of girls of beauty or face and
figure have been inspired by the stories they
have read of Audrey Munson during her career
before the public. She received large sums
for appearances on the stage and before the
camera. Doubtless she could have been happy
today had she profited by the mistakes that
others who had gone before her had made.
But she thought she would prove the exception.
Men paid court to her. They were generous
with their gifts-with every gift but the one
that would have made Audrey Munson a happy
girl. And that was the gift of love. Doubtless
there was some place in the world who
would have made Audrey Munson such hus-
band as she would have wanted, but she didn't
meet him in the zone in which she rotated. The
wen who follow women from the stage door and
into the cabarets seeking excitement. They
are looking for pretty face to gaze upon, for
an attractive form to fondle. They are not
looking for wives. Occasionally one OF them
while drunk, marries woman of the stage,
but the union usually only lasts until both be-
come sober and broke. Then the men returns
10 his home and the girl goes back to the
chorus
There are opportunities for the girl on the

Bureaucracy Condemned.

Herbert Hoover has taken stand against
too much centralized government during times
of peace. He holds that the less governmental
supervision we have the better for the govern
ment and the better for the people. He told
the National Timber Manufacturers associa-
ton to oppose government supervision of the
lumber industry. DR.. Hubert Work postmaster
general, in his address as retiring president of
the American Medical association emphatically
opposed state medicine. He is not opposed to
quarantine state hospitals, but he is IN
qualified in his denunciation of state control
of the medical profession, public health centers
diagnostic centers, any medical schemes
promoted by the federal, state county or city
governments. This will please the advocates
OF non-medical treatment of disease, but DR..
Work admits that he can't help that. He wants
to save the freedom of his profession from any
political or bureaucratic control.
The Illinois Medical association arrived at
similar conclusions, except that it condemned
the Shepherd-Towner bill. 1t resolved that the
legitimate medical functions of organized So
ciety are sanitation and public hygiene, the
teaching of personal hygiene, training of med
ical students, medical research, rendering medi-
cal service to the army and navy, inmates of
charitable and penal institutions and to indi-
gent persons
The president of the Illinois Medical So
ciety was applauded when he said that bureau
cracy would, if not checked sap the very
life blood of the nation. He held government
control of the medical profession but one of
its manifestations Abraham Lincoln also was
opposed to bureaucracy. He declared that
commissions were contrivances TO cheat the
government. Alexander Hamilton expressed
the opinion that it was bad plan for congress
to get into the habit of appointing boards.
Henry P. Atwood in Back to the Republic"
tells of at least state that has 12S official
boards connected with the state government.
Mr.. Atwood divides the history of this repub-
lie into three eras The period of experiment
tai failures, the era of progress and the period
OF retrogressive tendencies dating from 1900
of special commissions, boards bureaus and
the Capitalization of authority; in short the era
of bureaucry. This is without doubt a growing
critical attitude toward and proposal to sub
stitute paternalistc bureaucracy for the ideal
OF republic that was written into the con-
stitution of this country. Mr.. Hoover and Dr.
Work may be in mood of reaction The Illi-
nois medical men may be self-conscious about
their profession and its freedom but thou
sands OF Memorial day orators probably will
express similar opposition to the marked ten
dency OF bureaucracy and methods of central
tzation that are not in agreement with the his
torical idea Of republic

gazed thoughtfully at the burning

Dick Brandt's dark eyes flashed
a half-questicning, halfadmiring
glance at the siiver-haired speaker
Why, Dad he said, simply, any

pulled his chair nearer to the fire
and waited expectantly.
My boy, I've been thinking of
getting married." exploded Peter
Brandt in one breath, watching his
son for a second and then gazing
around the coy library, as if afraid
of evesdroppers..
Married." repeated Dick, incred-
ulously. why, Dad, you're not"
he suddenly checked himself, hest
tated a moment and went on in a
quiet tone: I've often wondered
why you never thought of getting
married again, Dad. Who is the
LADY,"
This is where a surprise comes
in" answered his father, nervously.
This is where 1 need your help,
my SON."
If there's anything l can do for
your happiness, I'm willing and
glad to do it," said Dick very quick
ly, but, somehow, l can't quite get
the thought
"Of course. you can't" inter-
rupted his father, as if eager for a
chance to bristle up. You've been
too swallowed up in business to
think of anything" Dick Brandt
pulled his cigar with unperturbed
calmness. His fathers outbursts
on this topic of business were very
frequent.
You can help" repeated his
father, because you know the lady.
You understand her so well that l
thought you could, well, hang it
all; 1 wondered if you couldn't let
her know that /"
This isn't like you, Dad" broke
in Dick, a puzzled expression on his
face.

can ever quite take your dear moth
er's place" he fastened to add, but
this old house is pretty lonely; it
needs a mistres, Dick. I've been
thinking about this thing ever since
you returned from France"
Dick made no comment for sew
eral moments Then he finally
asked again, who is the lady,
Dad?"
Elizabeth Gordon!" answered his
father, again watching his son
If he expected to see astonishment
on Dicks face, he was rewarded.
Dick stared at him as if he thought
his father had suddenly lost his
senses.
why, Dad" he finally calculated.
Betty is only a girl,
Betty was girl when we first
knew her, 10 years ago." corrected
his father airily. Now, she's beau
