" "B i' shameless' profiteering, why, those
profiteers who did business Immediately
after? the GHvllifcar could give our prof
iteer, i pointers a-plenty by Increased
juvetjlle delinquency, by financial dls-Integi-atlon
; and. general thrlftlessness.
,Th only' difference, today Is that none
of t'bese things have rone to the ex
tremis that tlley did at that time. .
-"mis unrest Isn't alt-created by the

order; they are hjrth pains, for this Is
the httrth hour .vi a new and better day.
' TheTvar was not all grief. It did some
aplenslld things for us besides whipping
, the ljluh;'lt 'did away with commercial
ised vice ; It put the saloon out of busi

, "Tkie answer .to the problems is an

' the only way Is the slow, laborious pro
cess of education and In this work the
chnrehes' of . todayi Catholic and Prot

- great work, but their work should be
enlarged and It should have the active
nnnart of all real Americans."
