PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFIT-TAKING
Speaking of the high prices pre
vailing in tlu shoo Industry, Ike
New York World says:
"There has never been a monopoly
In this Industry. It has been among
the most compotltlvo of the country's
great manufactures. That Is appar
ently true today, though symptoms
of concerted action may bo detected
among the suppliers of shoo materlul.
"What we seem to have Instead of
a psychological condition, created by
the war, which soino manufacturers
and Jobbers are tailing the fullest ad
vantage of.'whllo with the multitude
of retail dealers a rich Held is opened
for charging all the trallic will bear."
There is little question of the ac
curacy of this anulyHls. And the
same explanation would hold true of
many Industries today. In the case
of shoes, thero Is no longer the ex
cuse of costly raw material. Hides
are plentiful und havo dropped In
price, and are expected' to go much
lowor. leather-proiliicllon Is thcre
foro cheaper. Shoe-production is
therefore cheaper. Shoes thorefore
ought to be chenpor. Hut shoes still
are sold at prices based on the high
est prico of hides, und the public lias
been encouraged to go up rather than
down. Profits all along tho lino wore
liberal enough when hidos were Bell
ing ut 50 cents a pound. Tiioy are
said, by frank loaders of tho leather
industry, to bo fnr more liberal now.
Tho shoe dealers, however, aro
proba'bly no more to blame than the
dealers In many other Important
coinomdltles. Tho World Is right
It's ".psychological." Tho old prin
ciple of competition Is no longer de
pendable as a price-regulator, not be
cause wo are trust-ridden, but be
cause nearly ovorybody, In nearly
ovory branch of business, has been
Imbued with tho notion that It's lime
to mako big prollls, and that ho's
Justified In making thein,
"Everybody's doing It." Therefor1
everybody does it.
IN.irSTICU TO "IHtl'l
VICTIMS.
New York is having a serious time
with its "dope" victims. Tho fed
eral authorities have been gettng aft
er tho Illegitimate trallic in llahlt
formfng drugs. As a result of their
raids large numbers of dispensers of
morphine, heroin and cocaine have
heon taken Into custody, and many
shady doctors and druggists have
been scared out of the business. Tho
effectiveness of the crusade has been
Increased by tho efforts of tho local
authorities to enforce the state drug
regulation law.
All this Is very good. Hut tho re
form has hail some startling results.
With the curtailment or the Unfile
great numbers of drug addicts, un
able to obtain their accustomed
"dopo," havo swarmed Into the ol
lices or the revenue collector, mar
shal and prosecutor, pleading for re
lief. The officials face a perplexing ill
lemma. The victims nnisl cither have
their drug, or they must have the
craving for It removed. The drug
cannot legally he n-ovidoil. and
there Is no provision in tho federal
nntl-narcollc law for taking care of
the addicts.'
The state law, too. falls lo pro
vide remedial treatment. Tho locul
health department Is doing what It
cnn. supplying treatment lo many pa
tients lr. the city hospitals and other
inunlcipal institutions. Hut It Is un
able to cope with the situation. Ex

perts say that there are 200,000 drug
addicts in the metropolis.
The evil is not confined to New
York, nor to the large cities in gen
eral. It exists to some extent in near
ly every community. The number of
men and women enslaved by bablt
formlng drugs often through no
fault of their own is appallingly
large. The moment any honest effort
Is made lo restrict the trafllc that
Is responsible for their predicament,
the victims are left in a precarious
and pitiable plight.
It should bo universally recogniz
ed that no antl-narcotlc legislation Is
either effective or Just unluss It adds
to drug regulation some provision
for taking care of the drug habitues.
Thero are well known treatments of
proved efficacy to removo the abnor
mal craving and give the victims a
fresh start In life. It should be
mado possible for every sufferer to
obtain such treatment in public in
stitutions. SINKING 1 HE M I I I I.E I- KLIJWS.
Blnce Juno tho U-boat bltuatlon has
shown almost continuous improve
ment. Tho laat two weekly reports
are especially encouraging. They
show tho smallest losses aince Ger
many bean her campaign of intensi
fied ruthlessness. Only 12 ships of
more than l.ltOO tons were sunk dur
ing the week ending September 12,
and only 8 during the week ending
September 19.
This substantial decrease was ac
companied; last week, by a notable
Increase in the destruction ot small
shipping. Twenty vessels under l.iiOO
tons were sunk, as against an average
of about three In recent weeks. Hut
that fact gives no cause for alarm.
Taken along with the conspicuous
drop in big ship fatalities, it is really
reassuring. The small ships are, in
general, unarmed craft, sailing .with
out escorts. It is natural, then, to
conr-ludo that Germany in finding It
harder and harder to deal effective
blows against the bulk of allied ship
ping, which consists of large ves
sels, armed and traveling in fleets
convoyed by destroyers. It Is only
the little, helpless folk of the sea
that the U-boats can overcome.
The German public Is now repre
sented ns having lost its taste for
scrapping to a degree that enables It
to Join the rest of tho world In a do
Biro for peace.
If food should becomo as scarce as
