The Future Will Be Met 1 .. With Steady Hands. With the glorious ending 'of the world calamity, we must all turn oui faces to the immediate futuro.and do what we can to assist President Wilson and the congress to' solve some of .the problems which are alroady showing on the horizon. . The national, army will' be cured for. Demobilization will take place slowly and the few men who are returned each week or each month will find places In the general industrial bus! ness of the country. ,.' . But what of the labor now employ ed? War industry has ceaeed, leav ing a multitude of men out of employ ment; industries, other than war in dustries,- must absorb this Burplus. , " Take the lumber business on the . Pacific coast. Suppose it was to shut down, what a fearful condition would ; prevail.:,, r- , rrr- i . Removal of the embargo on coast, lumber should be forthcoming, so that . the industry may expand and omploy : more labor, rather than contract. .The wage scale should remain in control of the government for munj months to come. Lower wages now, with high cost of living not changed, will causa hardship, and hardship lie gets trouble. Laboring people woulii ; be free to accuse capital of tuking ad vantage of conditions if wages begin . to sag. -. ,. . . Then, it would seem, there are two vcrv Important things for our govern ment to do to protect the Pacific t coast. First, remove all embargoes and restrictions on building, and the other, is to keep the wugo scale when it is until next spring. . ' 1 . Will It Ever Make Good, Is the Question, . Apparently the federal Food Ad ministration is about to close up Its desk and quit business. It is a vol untary organization and should not be . expected to continue after the war it over. Hut there must be some food super vision. There is enough Soiulism in all of us to refuse in the future to bow to the profiteer in foodstuffs. And besides, tho need for feed regu liition will continue until Kuropo gets a crop and becomes organized. Wc must furnish food to Gcrmnny and Austria, as well as other European countries. ' Then the question urises, with Mr. Hoover's department dissolved, who will attend to the work? A report from Washington says the Dtpnrtmcnt of Agriculture will Uike over the food administration, which causes us to wonder if it will ever gi t j any place. , One of the slow-moving, do-litt!i' departments of our government is the; Department of Agriculture. Like eur educational institutions, it has been given free access to the Treasury, but requested to report to no one and iic count for nothing. ' ' Wo fear very mu':h if tho food regu-! lation goes into the Department of Agriculture that some one will go hungry, Power of Suggestion Bad ly Needed at Times. . How natural it is for everyone to take orders from some person in uni form. A policeman's efficiency is cahanccd one-half if ho wears a uni form. -lrhe evs ?1rBtcher'f oll. a train i iThe other day a dear- old lady was forced, in making a trip, to wait sev eral hours at a railroad depot She was very frustrated about health or ders, germs in the air, and cloths over the mouth; ao much so in fact that she became a bore to every other pasoen ger by telling of horrible things she had knuwji and asking where was the best place to sit to avoid the germs. " When all had become tired of the dear old lady's fears, a Bed Cross can teen, lady approached her. by saying, "My, good woman, thut bench in the corner is.tne safest place, it is In the open air and you may get chilly but you should be safe there." . The old lady looked at the canteen uniform, yielded, to the suggestion as though it were an order, and settled down on the bench. She was at a point where she positively needed the power of suggestion to quiet her and when it came from a woman in Red Cross uniform it proved doubly effec- tlVOr ' '.-X''-"- :,. What Shall We Do With William, the Murderer? What are we to do with the kaiser? What is civilization going to do with the insane bully who ran amuck in his madness and killed seven million pco pie before he was cowed and brought down7 ! ' , There will be many programs out lined, the one probably receiving the most praise will no doubt be execu tion following his trial. Such a step does not suffice. The kaiser should be forced to live and work at hard, manual labor to restore at least one little mite of the country he has devastated. Ho should be humiliated with bail and chain, along with other leaders of the German militarists and under French and Belgian guards, made to carry up the brick and mortar to re build some of the 'cathedrals he has ruined. - '. Humiliation duup humiliation, not death should be dealt out to this creaturo who he drenched the world in blood, and slain the flower of man hood in several nations.

JUST ACROSS THETRACK Getting Down to Facts There are some men in this town who used to pay tailors a ' lot of extra money to make their clothes; they thought they were hard to fit. Along came the war, and a good many of these men looked around for a way to 'save; they wanted to have more money to invest in Liberty Bonds. They turn ed to fine xeady-made clothes like we're offering ; , , HartSci$er& Marx clothes Well, here's what has happened; they have found that they can bo fitted per fectly in ready-made clothes;, that they .. get. the finest all wool fabrics' that are i woven; and the best tailoring and style. - And they save some money for them- i selves, too. . ' i-O v ., There's a lesson in this experience for others who want to save; and we'll be glad to do our part any day; we'll show any man that he can be fitted in ready-made clothes and we'll show him a saving in the bargain.
