It was our extravagance, our incf ficiency, our wastefuluess in times ot great prosperity which brought about the fall aud we felt it greatly because we had to do away with extravagance, inefficiency and wasteiulue» iu order to bring about normalcy. During the time of our unpreceuted war and prosperity we thought there was no need to save the penuies be cause the dollar was worth uothiug We set up a new staudard of bign living. Money was good for nothing except to speud an 1 we were getting so much of it that it was a uuisu'icc to have around in such bulk. Now we have come to treat the dollar with some respect and a job is something of value instead of an ex cuse for passing away the time that would be burdensome if we had nothing to do. To get a dollar now we have got to do something for it. We never will be a tightwad nation but when we spend a dollar now we insist on getting our money's worth. Th at’s about all there is to norm alcy; earning the dollar we get aud getting ’em aud getting full value for them when w*e spend them for whet we ean afford to have. By that we do not mean that we are getting back to prewar wages and pre-war prices. We do not knovv that either one would be what we want, but whether they would or not, we are not going to have them. Wages when ouee advanced, as history shows, do nett return to formal levels, and when wages are up other prices are up. What we waut is a stable market, both for wages aud merchandise. The seale is not so material, so long as it remains steady. That is normalcy aud we are pleased to see Hoover announcing the early arrival o f the stranger. descend to flippant references to the salacious, the national maid will be directed along that hue.

It believes that it there is any doubt as to the ione of au item, it should be so remodeled lhai the doubt is xakeu away. There fore we were greatly struck by the declaration of principles to which every delegate to the recent conven tiou ot high school editors subscribed, aud which read us follows: “ 1 believe iu clean journalism. “ I will put nothing into pnut us a writer or editor that 1 would uot suv as a gen(Umau.

' ’ We mav well believe that from the high school editors of today will come the newspaper editors of the morrow aud while they keen themselves cir cumseribed within the precepts o f a declaration of principles such as this, vve uoed not fear for the uewspuper inflneuee o f the future.
