HIGH PRICES AND PROSPERITY It looks very much as if there is to be a new era of high prices that will exceed the record made before the financial panic of a year ago. Already publishers are facing a rapid ad vance in the price of print paper, due no doubt to the fact that the re-election of Speaker Cannon and other high tariff cham pions preclude any possibility of a reduction in duties on wood pulp. The publishers of the country, led by Herman Ridder, have made a hard fight for the right to do business on a profitable basis, but have lost out to the powerful paper mill trust. They will in all probability be severely punished for the course they took and paper prices will no doubt make a new record within the next few months. - . Merchants also are daily receiving notice of advances in almost every line of woolen and cotton goods, and those who failed to stock up heavily this fall because jf the-vXinancipjunr certainty will be forced to fill depleted stocks at greatly en hanced prices and be placed at a disadvantage compared to their bolder competitors who risked heavy buying during the period of depression. It is probable that wages will respond in a measure to the .rapid advance in prices, but it is doubtful if they keep pace with the increasing cost of living. During the period of prosperity which ended with the flurry of last fall work was plentiful and wages high, but the workingman saved little because every thing he bought was dearer. The regular salaried man in a clerkship position was even worse off because his salary advance was not so marked. . . .. , There is on every hand evidence of a return to the conditions that existed prior to the panic, and it would not be surprising if the volume of business and advance in prices exceeded all former records, booauso, since the election, the manufacturing trusts, who formerly pretended to favor a general reduction of the tar iff, have thrown off the mask and are asking boldly for higher 'duties, which congress is only too likely to grant. ' The question that time and experience alone can answer is whether the coun try can permanently sustain a prosperity pitched on so high a plane, and accompanied by unlimited speculation and combina tion of big interests, which is likely to be inaugurated as soon as financial matters in the East can be again adapted to the new orderof things. While vast fortunes will be made by a comparative few, it is a question as to whether the people gen erally will be benefitted, and they may even find it difficult to "make both ends meet" if prices soar to the dizzy heights the great manufacturing combines seem determined they shall. This Kentuckian who wants President Roosevelt impeached evidently does not believe those who say the country wants a rest..-. However, he might communicate with Senator Tillman, even it that gentleman did dodge the campaign excitement. Many .a man has wondered why the public is so gullible at to expect something for nothing, says the Oregon Tradesman. It is not strange when we stop to consider that the public has been educated to believe that it can get something for nothintj. Stories are told of great winnings at gambling. Tales are recited of a few dollars placed in certain securities or investment bringing in a harvest of wealth. Thia effort to excite a desirff to get something that has not been earned has entered practi cally every field of endeavor. It is not at all strange or surpris ing then, when we consider has assiduously the lure has been held out. "Columbia is going to add an airship course to its curricu lum, Our universities are becoming more and more practical. At one time their chief function was to teach young men the use of hot air. They are doing better now." This is making light of a question on a high plane and of rising nature, even if it is the expression o fas high a journal as the San Francisco Chronicle. Rev. Walter Holcombe, son-in-law of the late Sam Jones, has been fined $500 and costs by a Georgia court for using ob scene and vulgar language in the pulpit when there were women in the audience. 'Rah for the "cracker" judge. May his tribe increase. And now comes the supreme court of Massachusetts with ft permanent injunction, backed by an opinion, that a labor union has no right to fine its members for not joining a strike it orders. No wonder this injunction business has got a lot of 'em guessing. A California widow wants to be appointed deputy sheriff, she says to protect her life and property, but if she gtes the job eligible unmarried men in her neighborhood would better walk mighty straight, if they do not wish to wake up married. . Revolutionizing isn't the picnic in Mexico it is in some coun tries. Two of the leaders of a gang that pillaged a town last June have been sentenced to death and twelve of their men all that were caught to fifteen years' imprisonment. Well, welll "The world do move." Yale is to teach spell- fag. Row maybe some of the minor educational; institutions may be induced to do likewise, and not leave this important branch of education entirely to the newspapers. ' "You will know love when he comes," says- a lady writer. Perhaps, but the divorce court records prove that a fraudulent masquerader is frequently mistaken for him. This California doctor who says "we should move in curves" is doubtless figuring on becoming the presidential candidate of the boozers in 1912. ' - Careful observation will prove to the most skeptical that the man who uses the most good judgment will have the most good luck. WHAT AMERICA NEEDS. (Editorial from the Wall Strret Journal.) ROOT FOR THE FOOTBALL TEAM State pride, and local pride combined should insure a large Attendance at the football game tomorrow. A big crowd of lusty-lunged rooters can do wonders for the home team in the way -of inspiring confidence and enthusiasm, and a victory to morrow will be a big step toward winning the big game of the year with O. A. C at Portland. Let evorybody turn out and cheer the boys at the rally tonight and then go to the game to morrow with minds made up to down the husky lads from Seat tie. Football and othor athletic sports in the colleges are neces sary because they tend to physical perfection, and the healthy body generally insures a healthy mind and right thinking. When the physical strength of a people declines there is too apt to be a deficiency of courage and corresponding lack of patriotism. We have as a nation few wars to bring out these qualities and the dagei ous tendencies of prolonged peace must bo combatted by physical training which is even more important than mental training. Most persons who condemu football and athletic sports gonorally in the oollegos and schools take a most super, ficial view of the question, and yot most of them would prefer to raise strong, healthy boys .full' of life and vigor, to p,jle sickly students, with bodies too weak to sustain abnormally de veloped mental faculties. What the colleges need is the proper proportion of athletics and higher education and if they some times incline too much to the former well, the healthy Amer ican boy will be perfectly able to take care dt himself if he has neglocted somewhat his opportunities for classical education. The trained athlete can never be a victim of dissipation or a moral degenerate. Bryan, Roosevelt Omd Taft are the great leaders of the American people, and they owe their success to a great degree to physical strength that enables them to do an What America needs more than railroad extension and Western Irri gation, and a low tariff, and a bigger wheat crop, and a merchant marine, and a new navy, Is a revival of piety, the kind father and mother used to have ploty that counted It good business to Btop for daily family prayers before breakfast, right In the middle of the harvest; that quit field work a half hour earlier Thursday night, so as to get the chores done and go to prayer . meeting. That's what we need now to clean this coun try of filth, of graft and greed, petty and big, of worship of fine houses and big lands, and high office and grand social functions..
