The transition from tho activities of war to the activities of peace in the United States cannot be too rapid, . for the" thing to be avoided in this, as in all the allied countries, Ib industrial depression as a result of sluggish re- adjustment. Every public and private undertaking abandoned on the out break of the war, or deferred by rea son of the conflict, should be revived and rcsumnd. without delay, remarks . 1 ii .iti.-.1 ofT. 1lI uiu wuii euiiu iviirjSLiiui oujvucu juihi itor. Whatover may be thought or said to the contrary, war work, properly so culled, must soon bo reduced to the minimum; the manufacture of muni tions, except to meet the normal army nnd navy demand, must soon cease al together.. There is no reason why any contracts for war vessels or merchant men Bhjuld befcajicelledi there IjeV' cry reason why they should be carried out, and there are many reasons like' wise why the government should pro ceed with all contracts, even though incidental to war, looking to perma nent improvements in the interior as well as along the coasts; but when all said, the great impetus to industry occasioned by the splendid lnternation ill enterprise in ; which the United States engaged in April, 1917, and which has now been brought, with its assistance, to a successful and glorious close, will speedily subside. The trend of American thought and energy will now be turned immediate ly toward peaceful occupation and this tendency should be given the freest possible flow. There should be no wholesale discharges from public oi privuto plant. Jt should be regarded us a legitimate part of the cost of war to make the way toward peace as smooth as possible.' Labor has proved its loyalty during the last nineteen months; it has made it possible for the government to piny a creditable part in the greatest struggle.of all times for human liberty, nnd the rights of labor, among which the first and fore most is the right to work, should not be lost sight of. .What is needi'd is the acceptance by the nation of the practical view that there should lie no peace slump, that the people Rbould be able to turn from war work to peaceful industry with out delay and without friction. Economists huvo laid down the law that there will bo a period of indus trial depression alter a great war. With the knowledge and tremendous rcservo resources ut command, this so-called luw should bo disregarded, or, at all events, overcome, in the United States. There will, of necessi ty, have to be readjustments, some of thorn of a trying character; but they can be met, as the war requirements were met, in a spirit of unselfish pa triotism. If wages drop from tho war scale, it must be remembered that that 3,000,000 men, more or less, have for love of country and for love of right abandoned all other opportunity in the United States during the con test in order to meet, in full measure, the most exacting duty of citiienship nt a wage that they would spurn in civil life. An era of great prosperity awaits the United States. Its coming, in full tide, can be delayed only by the failure of thoso who have undertakings on hand to press them without delay. The labor that will lie thrown upon the country ly Jhe suspension of ,war work and the reduction of the arm? and (Hiwii)iiHtJMM(iiinriiiitHrfiii':iif'(!Hi'j'i::i!iit)''?'.:iifmitiHW..'n.ii''.sJj.i IF.

'' President Wjlson Should At tend Peace Parley, The Observor docs not share tho be lief of some of the press that the President should not leave tho North American contiiierit while he Is in of fice. We believe President Wilson should by all means attend the peace conference nnd we are glad that he has made, up i hisjpinij to be present. America's part in; the war, while not extensive, turned tho tide nnd made a victory for the allies certain. This country has every right to be heard at the peace table, and no man cap imprpss upon Europe the rights of America and the justice tijat snouiu be given to ail countries embroiled in the Into war so well as can our presi dent. He is entitled to the trip, for he has carried a load that has surely been n heavy ono.

His reception in every foreign land will be wonderful, just nB It should be wonderful, for he not only goes ns President Wilson, but in fact he rep resents all of the United States. Tho citv budget kocps within the six per cent increase over last year, which is according to the state mw, oui u docs not provide for the Increase of salaries. It would seem that city of ficials must absorb the high cost of living nnd be happy. Wheat prices will romain high for another year at least, and the Ornnde Hondo valley will not be asleep when it comes to producing wheat while the market is good.
