Clothing will remain higher in price’ than it! was before the war, for the cotton in the south) the labor cost, is much greater. ~ Richard Spillane, noted American economist, and special writer on business subjects for this; A. Wood Harvesting works in St. Paul, and the newspaper, believes that steel, barometer of trade, will be higher in price a year from now than it is today. “Builders remain hesitant,” he declares, “but each day makes their ideas of lower’ com- modity and labor costs less pronounced.” “With the prevailing high cost of production (meaning high wages), no cheaper lumber is in sight,” says John H. Kirby, president of the Na- tional Lumber Manufacturers’ association. -Charles S. Keith of Kansas City, a prominent lumber man, anda member of the association, pre- dicts that: lumber. will sell for $40.‘a thousand board feet by’fall: “This,” he explains, “will be an increase of one-quarter to one-third over pres- om Prices.” : And he tells why the increase. “The cost of production has mounted 217 per We face ‘a loss of 105,000,000,000 feet accu- mulated in Europe during the last five years. Rus- sia used to furnish over 40 per cent of the world’s “supply; and Russia ‘willbe out of the market for at-least four years.” - Cement prices Will advance 10 or 15 per cent this year, according to Albert "YY, Gowen, vice presi- dent of the Lehigh Portland Cement Co. In 1918, Gowen said, the average cost of mak- ing cement v 62 cents a barrel. The average net selling price was 82 cents. In 1918 the cost was $1.44 a barrel and the net price received was $1.62. ‘ Labor insists that wages be not reduced. fact, there is a demand for still higher pay. What shall we do about it? Some have advised waiting until prices do tumble. That would bring down wages, too. It would recruit great armies of unemployed. » It might spell panic. This waiting is nothing more than not buying something you need because you hope by not buying you may bring down the price, the matter of purchasing building materials, steel, and if many others join you in waiting (either in In | ' ' stone, clothing, shoes, food) you will bring down! prices. There’s no doubt about that. The law of| supply .and demand will do it. But,”remember. this: NEVER IN ALL HISTORY HAS MAN HAD HIGH WAGES AND LOW PRICES. Have you ever seen a team pulling a wagon over a muddy road? The driver who slowed up, allowed his team to stand still as the wagon wheels halted in the deepest mire, never pulled out un- aided. His wheels kept sinking deeper and deeper and deeper into the mud. But the driver who kept going, who allowed no waiting moment to sink his wheels still farther into the mire, pulled through, unaided and ahead of the game. American prosperity today is much in the position of the wagon drivers. There’s the mire of new business conditions, changing conditions, through which the wagon wheels must pass. If business (and that means every person who lives) permits the wheels to go farther down into the mire, while waiting for the summer sun to come out and dry up the mud, then business will have a devil of a time getting out. _ But if American business keeps agoing, push- ing, pulling, it will get through, and get through in bang-up shape. We believe American business will adopt this method. In the long run, this is the quickest, most satisfactory, and easiest way. Waiting merely ii the difficulties. Giddap!

Prices are still rising. ' “The leper asylum has had a hard time owing to high prices and shortness of funds. For the first time in 12 years lepers have left the asylum and gone into the cities begging because they said they were hun- gry in the asylum. “We are having one of the most wide- spread famines of modern times.” Think of that! Large supplies of food hoarded by India’s food profiteers! Lepers starving in Thousands dying of hunger within We hope the boys will bring back enough of that liberty they fought for to start a new crop; in America.

LIGNITE TESTED; NO SMOKE The first. practical test af lignitc!¢oal Taade in the twin ciites was held Thursday at the Walter future of the North Dakota fuel seemed almost assured. The test, was at the request of the Job- bers’ union and the Commercial club at St. Paul. The lignite burned freely and a feature of the test was the fact that the combustion caused practic- ally no smoke. This in itself would cause a great demand for the stuff, as it solves the smoke prob- lem. Another good ponit was that the lignite left only about 34 per cent of ash.—Minneapolis Journal. CLEAN UP AND. PAINT. UP NEW YORK A movement to’give the city an extra thorough spring cleaning: should: have ‘the co-operation and support of al] New Yorkers. i We want no epidemics this summer—either of infantile paralysis, typhoid, diphtheria or any other dread scourge. Cleanliness may not be an absolute preventive of disease. But we know with certainty that dirt linvites digease The Anti-Litter League, the Charity Organiza- tion Society and the Associating for Improving the Condition of the Poor are all ready to join with the health department and the street cleaning de- partment in declaring the biggest war ever against | dirt. Every citizen who does not enlist for this war should be drafted. Now is the time to clean out that cellar, cart that dirty wall. Soap and water, paint and whitewash are pow- erful allies.

THE RIBA-WEBER CASE Attorney General Langer has been if Forman investigating the Riba-Weber ‘case, which was the subject of much comment during the session of the legislature. The facts may be summarized briefly. Weber and Riba were ‘rival’ candidates \for the house from the Sargent county district. - WEDNESDAY, APRIL‘23, 1919 NO MEAL COMPLETE WITH ‘THE THOROUGHBRED” | Bu Henry Kitchell Webster Author of “The Real Adventure,” “The Painted Scene,” Etc.

The election board of the city of Forman, in compliance with the instructions of the health authorities to prevent the assembling of crowds, excluded the general public from the elec- tion room during the counting of the ballots. If the majority received by Weber in Forman were eliminated Riba would be elected. Riba was the Nonpartisan league candidate, and it was deter- mined to seat him. The charge was made that the closing of the doors of the polling place during the count was contrary to law, and that therefore the Forman vote should be cast out. The house is the sole judge of the qualifications of its mem- bers, and, by a strict league vote, Weber was un- seated and Riba seated. It was not alleged by anyone that any fraud had been committed or attempted in connection with the counting of the Forman vote. No sugges- tion was made that the vote was not honestly and accurately counted. On the contrary, it was dis- tinctly stated, even by league men who urged the throwing out of the vote on technical grounds that there was not even the suspicion of fraud, and no accusation of fraud has ever been made by any- one. The report of Mr. Langer that he finds no evidence of fraud is merely in line with what has been known of the case all along.
