THE VICIOUS CIRCLE
Award of a $600,000,000 raise in wages for railroad em
ployes will require a similar raise in freight rates to meet the
added expense of railroad operation, and this in turn means an
increased price of the merchandise and materials transported to
meet the added cost of transportation and increases the already
exorbitant cost of living, supplying a new cause for still further
increases in wages.
So it goes in a vicious circle. Every increase in wages means
an increase in cost of production and all the increases are eventu
ally placed on the consumer who seeks to lift the burden by
individual increases to benefit himself at the expense of the
community and finds himself the victim of similar action by
others.
The railroad employe pays his own higher wages by paying
the increased freight charges on all he consumes or purchases.
The factory worker pays his own increase in wages when he buys
the Droducts of his factory or those of other factories whose
worknlen have secured a raise that is passed on to the consuming
public. So it goes throughout industry. ,
It is a scheme that works all right as long as there is an under
production and an unlimited market, as long as there is more work
than there are workers, but when stocks depleted by war are
markets become glutted and industry slackens, when closed mills
replenished, when surplus of products replaces shortage,' when
and idle men fill the land, the vicious circle will break and there
will be a violent reaction toward normal.
But the increased cost of labor Is only one of several factors
in the increased cost of living. Almost universal profiteering is
as great or a greater cause. A raise in wages is made the excuse
by the manufacturer for an excess profit on the wages. The
fabulous profits in the steel, oil, coal, fabric and other industries
are not due to increased wage scales so much as to 'prof iteering.
The increased freight rates will not in reality be due so much to
the increased wages as to the payment of interest on watered
stock and inflated valuations guaranteed by the government
regardless of actual invested capital.
There are signs that the era of profiteering, of fabulous
wages, of limitless extravagence is drawing to a close. Pressure
by the federal reserve bank, is curtailing speculation and luxury
investment and forcing a gradual readjustment by deflation.
There will not and cannot be a pania in the old sense, for Wall
Street no longer controls the finances of the nation, but there
will be a slow and steady readjustment towards normal that
cannot be other than beneficial. And it will be a long time before
e world shortage in supplies is replenished.
Living will never decrese to its former cost. Wages will
never be down to the old level, for as a result of the war, the;
world is on a new and higher financial plane. The dollar will
never have its former value, and much of the unrest and con
fusion of today is caused by failure to recognize this fact. We
still insist on using the old dollar as a measure for present value.
The wise man is the one who recognizes this fact and readjusts his
affairs accordingly and who practices thrift and economy as
remedy for high cost of living. '
Rippling Rhymes
OUR LITTLE JOBS
Some jobs are worse than writing verse, and some are more
enchanting; I'd rather play a harp all day than be a statesman
ranting. For office high some men will fry, in beastly summer
weather; and thresh old themes and hopjoint dreams, where
reubens get togetther. I wouldn't speak six times a week to be a
blooming seraph; I'd rather sing than be a king, or coroner, or
sheriff. Let others rise, 'neath burning skies, our sacred bul
warks guarding; I've no desire to soak my lyre, to be a Warren
Harding. The statesmen scrap and fuss and yap, and Gilbert
jumps on Billy, while in the shade I drink limeade, and knock
the timbrel silly. My record sleeps and no one weeps o'er crimes
I have committed ; the country grins when statesmen's sins are
to news columns fitted. Some jobs are slick and span and spick,
compared with writing sonnets, but oh, the woe that statesmen
know when bees are in their bonnets! I do not sigh for office
high, I wish no White House laurel; I'd rather write my rhyme
tonight, and spring an ancient moral.

The Convention of 1802.
Although there was bitter antagon
ism to Cleveland In some Party quar
ters he was once more the dominant
Party favorite when the 1892 Demo
cratic National Convention assembled
at Chicago, on June 2. Cleveland's
old and persistent enemiels in his
home state of New York, were again
the head and front of such opposi
tion to him as existed; and they left
no stone unturned to accomplish their
purposes.
No sooner had the National Com
mittee issued the National Convention
call, than a New York state conven
tion was assembled four months
ahead of the National Convention
and 'a "snap" delegation set up to
support; Governor David B. Hill in
stead of Cleveland. Around this
nucleus, which was bitterly assiled
by those who were called the "anti
snappers," the Cleveland opposition
rallied; but to no avail. Out of
were necessary to a two-thirds choice,
909 14' votes in the Convention, 607
and Cleveland's vote for a third nom
ination was 617 on the first roll
call. Governor Hill polled 114, and
Horace Boles of Idwa was third with
103 in a total field of eleven candidates.

It was a long while after I reached
my room before I was able to think
coherently. K very thing, had been so
wonderful since the coining of John
until now, and now my world had
been broken into pieces again.
I had only one comforting thought
about it all, and that was that I was
glad to have John read Karl Shep
herd's letters. I had always felt a
little sting of conscience 1 n regard to
liiem, I wanted him to know all
Karl Shepherd's position and mine
and, more than all the rest, I wanted
him to know about that queen chord
of intimacy which stretched between

each other's side at will.
An I'licnnny Situation
It was an uncanny situation, and I
knew that John would noot acknowl
edge an understanding of anything
of the kind. He would say that Karl
Shepherd, knowing my Interest In
the occult, was playing upon my
romnntlcism. However I wantedt
him to know all that had passed be.
sleep, and it was some time afterward
that I awakened . to find my arms
empty.
For a moment I thought I had
awakened naturally, and then it
came to me that my sleep had been
broken Info by the "honk, honk" of a
motor horn.
Miss Parker evidently was listening
for any sound that I should make,
for as I awakened with a sigh she
tiptoed In.
There was curiosity In her eyes as
well as in the tones of her voice as
she made the announcement. "Mr.
Gordon has just left to make the
noon train. He told me to tell you
that he had had a telegram which
called him immediately, and he knew
that you would not be able to go so
soon. He said that he would meet
you whenever you wired him that
you were coming."
"We shall try and go tomorrow,
Miss Parker," I said, "just as we had
decided to do. You may wire him to
that effect. Wait, I will send a night
message as he would not get it until
tomorrow, anyway."
Miss- Parker brought me the tele-

I thought very long and carefully
before I wrote the message, which I
decided should be perfectly common-!

duce some of that hypocrisy he had:

with him, to good effect. )
I knew perfectly well that he had'
received no. telegram, and he knew
that I knew it, but" for once I pre
tended, as he had. and said: "Sorry!
your business called you away. Baby
and I leave tomorrow afternoon.
Meet us if possible. Katherine."
I knew that It was very likely that
John would not meet us, and so the
eery height of my hypocrisy were the
words "if possible."
Then I went about calmly making
arrangements for closing the house:
with the exceptions of a few rooms;
on the lower floor, in which Hannah;
could make herself comfortable. , j

he left early, savin that he had'
promised to take little Bobby to the,

I wondered If I could make him
realise that while I loved those let
tors, yet, because Karl Shepherd had
written them, I never wanted to see
his face again. Because he had writ'
ten them I tould never feel imper
sonal In his presence, and I did not
want to feel anything else.
I waited a long time. Miss Parker
came to me again and again, asking
about the packing of this or that artl

more or less sanely. But at last I

The temporary chairman of the
Convention was William C. Owens of
Kentucky; the permanent chairman
was William L. Wilson of West Vir
ginia. The adoption of the Party
platform was preceded by a bitter
contest precipitated by a proposal
that the tariff plank should carry
in implied promise to "protected in
dustries" that there would be no
sweeping tariff reductions. The Con
vention refused any such expedient
however, and by a vote 564 to 342
adopted a substitute plank denounc
lag "protection" as a "fraud" and
declaring that the Government has
iiu jjuwer to levy taxes except xor
revenue only.
The resul of this campaign was the
second election of President Cleve

of tobacco, The chief habit forming
principle of- tobacco Is nicotine, a
deadly poison which, when absorbed
by the system slowly affects the
nerves, membranes, tissues and vital
organs of the body. The harmful ef

on circumstances. One will be afflict
ed with general debility, others with
catarrh of the throat, indigestion,
constipation, extreme nervousness,
sleeplessness, loss of memory, lack
of will power, mental confusion, etc.
Others may suffer from heart dis
