HOW TO E.VSK THK HllilrEX
What President Wilson has said
.to the railroad men and the public in
his statement regarding the demands!
ot the railroad shop workers applies
to every Industry and to every form
of economic activity in lAmerica:
"Any substantial increase of wages
in leading lines of industry at this
time would utterly crush the general
t campaign which the government is
waging with energy, vigor and sub
' stantial hopet success to reduce the
high cost ot living.
X)nly by keeping the cost of pro
duction on its present level, by In
creasing production and by rigid
economy and saving on the part of
the people can we hope for large de
creases in the burdensome cost or
living which now weighs us down."
Such a view is naturally disap
pointing to the men immediately con
cerned, and to every group of em
ployes which has been hoping for a
raise In pay. But there can be no
question in the minds ot men and
women who take a broad view of
the situation that this is the way to
go about it.
General wage raised do not solve
the problem; they only complicate
it, because prices rise in their turn,
and there is an ascending spiral of
pay and prices, prices and pay, in
stead of a! satisfactory adjustment.
There are undoubtedly injustices
here and there In the industrial
world that need straightening out
immedeiately. But speaking in gen
eral, the way out of present hard
ships lies along the line indicated
and suggested over and over again
in recent months by public men and
newspapers giving the question ser
ious and dispassionate thought.
It is time that the facts were faced
frankly. There must be greater
economy, and producers, distributers
and consumers must work together.
Then, with profiteers curbed, normal
times will come and price of com
modities find their real level.

One rainy day the hoy of five was
sent for a loaf of bread. As he
crossed the street a skidding auto
struck ankd killed him.
Bystanders who saw the accident
exonerated the driver of the machine
sayins he was driving carefully and
that tlfo accident was unavoidable.
But that machine had no chains
on it.
It may be that even if there had
be'n chains upon the wheels still the
driver could not have controlled it.
It is too late now to prove that, one
way or the other.
But it is not too late to say that
any person who has not taken every
precaution he can take to insure
safe driving of his automobile has
not taken pains enough. Though he
drive ever so carefully In nlnty-nlne
regards If he neglects the hundredth
chance he is not careful enough.

The comity commissioners are In
regular session today. Aside from
the regular routine of business, they
have nothing of great iiiijiurtaiu t be

They say you can get a pretty fair

for at the county fair.

"Pickings on the town dump are
not what they used to be." says one
scrap collector. "People are much
more careful about what they throw
away than they were In the days
when things were cheaper."
The particular junk man who
thus complaining of his hard lot pays
a city $81 a month for the jirlvllee
of salvaging what he can from one
of the city dumping places in the
hen it is considered that after
he has paid nearly one hundred dol
lars a month to the city he still
makes a good living from his sales,
it is evident how much salable ma
terial finds its way to the city rub
bish wagons.
Soaring prices a,re a hardship, but
the testimony of the salvage man
shows that they are teaching a les
son in thrift which is of no little
value itself.
