At the base of high prices is the law of supply and demand.

Of course the situation is aggravated by speculators and profiteers, who take advantage of the shortage to exploit prices, but they are only incidental and not fundamental causes of the high cost of living. Inflation of currency adds its share to the complication as does artificial control by monopoly, and excess profits taxes passed on to the people. ......... . ... Similar conditions follow every great war. It is part of the penalty of war. We are paying for the crime of war. That which is destroyed must be replaced.' The world is suffering from under production. Only increased production can remedy the situation. Work is not only the salvation of the individual, but the salvation of the nation and the world. We never see the present clearly and only in the perspective of the past do conditions appear in their proper relation and true light.

And picking Major Monkey up In his arms, jug and all, he patted him fondly, say ing, "Ah a! Bad-a boy! He run-a da way from da ol' man, no?" Then for a soldier Major Monkey did a strange thing.

He ev en tried to break the pitcher by knock ing it against the floor. It might as well have been made o iron, it was so strong. And the Major only succeded In hurting his own hanu. Of course he made a great racket. And the hens, who had become used to his mere stealthy visits, began to flutter and squawk. They made such an uproar at last the Major Monkey wantedto hurl the pitcher at them. But he couldn't do that, with his hand stuck inside it. And besides, the pitch er was chained fast to the wall of the hen house. And right there lay the Major's greatest trouble. If the pitcher hadn't been fastened he would have run off tugged, he couldn't pull his hand ouk of the pitcher. To be sure, if he had let go of the,0 three legs, to the woods, where he , . j mght have tried in peace and quiet to I . v.0 rtlleiuun. t am, get at the sugar inside it.

He knew, suddenly, that he had missed the little man sadly while he roamed about Pleasant Valley. Though Johnnie Green was staring straight at him, Major Monkey clung to his captor and held his wrinkled face close to the little man's cheek. "He sorra now!" the little man said to Johnnie Green. "What's his name?" Johnnie In-' quired. jTwS . "Jocko!" said Major Monkey's mas ter. "Datnice-a name, eh?" Johnnie Gren thought it was. And Major Monkey himself appeared to like the sound of it. It was a long time since he had heard It. No one had called him "Jocko" since that day ' weeks beforejwhen he had run away from his master, the organ-grinder, in the village.

There are no armies of the unem ployed, few bankruptcies, no free soup kitchens, no starving fam ilies. Labor enjoys better conditions and the producer better markets. you There is a better distribution of wealth, a more universal en joyment of comforts, a greater utilization of luxuries. Moral con ditions are also improved, the saloon and its attendant evils ban- iished, organized vice dispersed and in many other ways, we of the united states are better oil than ever before. The present and the future are filled with difficult problems upon the solution of which the future welfare of humanity de pends, but there is no cause for pessimism.

The man of brains is placed in the same category as the man without, and the man of brawn as the physical weakling. It is the old communist theory in a new form. All men are equal in a political sense in America and equal ity of opportunity is an ideal of the republic but no two men are on the same plane mentally or physically and the one big union is an effort to force the competent to divide with the in competent, the toilers with the slackers and the producers with the drones.
