A SERMONETTE. It is about time that wé ceased to excuse tha satumalia of crime that is sweeping the country upon the ground’ and as results of the war. The war is long. over and the lessons of brutality and’ license, inculeated by it, recognized to be morally and legally wrong and opposed to the security of the social organization, should be forgotten as lapses from and stains upon Civilization. The unrest among the people so frequently re- ferred to, exists, and has existed for some time. Its growth is occasioned from the lack ‘of effort to divert the publi¢ mind to channels of enterprise and ysefulness. i daily The unprecedented existence of crime is before your eyes and its boldness is constantly flaunted in your face. It is not that the human race is any wickeder than it ever was, it is simply because moral de- | pravity has been allowed to temporarily gain the mastery through general laxness' and break down in government affecting public control frdm federal down to municipal. The great moral majority still exists. If it did _not civilization were hopeless and the social fabric vanished. ; There are hopeful signs of awakening on the- part of some state ana municipal governmients., With the establishment of a clean, competent and vigorous federal government next March, hope will | increase and new encouragement will be Tent to the struggle for decency. In the ever present contest ef good and evi the, militant moralist, even the fanatic, has his place. y ave most useful now with their de- mands for blue laws enactment and extreme Sab- bath observance. Their beneficial service is in pushing the moral pendulum from its present ex- treme of recklessness in the direction of the ut- most limit of ethical intolerance. Somewhere be- tween’ the farthermost points a perfect vibration may be attained. This is the desideratum. It is the best that can reasonably be expected from the raw material whigh constitutes the human family. Tt might have been different. It might have ‘been better, had we not developed an overweening desire for apples, in an idle moment when the high cost of clothing and the housing problem were not disturbing the contentment and perfect enjoy- ment of the sojourn in Eden. That, however, comes within the realm of kpeculation and has no concern in a consideration of facts and conditions with which: we are con- fronted today. Among the more notable changes occasioned by the recent election will be to make a lot of ob- serving Democrats out of a lot of heretofore de= serving Democrats. It is strange that even governments will at times embracé and attempt to’ put into ‘operation some disproved and discredited fallacy that even trial and experience would warn them to avoid. Take the matter of price fixing. The result has always been a cessation of production and a consequent Apcarcity of commodity and higher prices than be- “lore. / It was again illustrated in sugar in this country in recent months, now happily passed. Price fix- ing is no new scheme, it goes back to the days of ancient Rome. If men were possessed of omni- potent wisdom a practical system of prite fixing might be possible, but so long as individuals are limited in both wisdom and. goodness, failure will attend the attempt to set aside the equalizing effect of the law of supply and demand, Simply take the predicament of stigat dealers, who, under the price control system, were limitec to an advance of | cent a pound on sugar sold at wholesale. That was apparently a sufficient ad- vance to enable the wholesaler to cover expéhses and make a reasonable profit. It is reported and is possibly true that some dealers made an unlawful | profit by putting the sugar through one or more | fictitious transfers, adding a cent a pound eaclr} time. But it appears that there were large numbers | of wholesalers who tried to comply with the law care p. customers found themselves -with-sugar which “would not selléven at the, original purchase price. On the contrary the sugar fobnd no: bayérs' at a decline of many cents*per pound. ‘Fhe wholesalers turned to govermmiéit regulation int vain! In éon- | junction with the provisions which prevented’ them from making unreasonable profits, they could find ho provision to guard*them' against unréasonable losses.. To apply a common expression, they were t caught between the devil of a. declining market and the deep sea of government control. The situation that the sugar wholesalers found themsélves in, will probably not occasion worry to many minds, yet it is entitled to more than pass- ing notice for it emphasizes economical. truths ibs | which the American people must not ignore if they hope for perpetuation of a government in which equality of opportunity is a fundamental. There are some who condemn the recently en- acted railroad bill which attempts to allow the failroals to éarn’ a larger, but very restricted and guarded income. Ancient prejudices cause them fo look with disfavor upon anything: that helps the railroads. The fact is that for many years the gov- ernment has been limiting railroad: earnings and profits, and, if it is to deal fairly and to the best interests of the nation.and its industries, must as- sumé the responsibility of affording the roads an opportunity to make a reasonable profit above actual expenses. The fact is unless this can be done the old ex- périencé of price fixing all the way down fromm the Roman empie—whielr is: failure-—will be the sum total. Econoinic law must be respected and éx- perimental fads disregarded. The simple fact al- ways remains, a railroad can no’ more be operated without profits that one of its locomotives can be Yur Without fuel. Not the biggest navy in the world, but a navy | “equah to the importance of the nation.”’ Since we all have pretty much the same idea of the nation’s importance we can readily agree to Senator Hard- ing’s future naval’ program. NOT AN UNREASONABLE DEMAND. The National Sheep and Wool Bureau is in en- tire accord with Senator Reed Smoot’s proposal of a year’s embargo on the importation of wool. Senator Smoot’s idea dovetails in with the French-Capper truth in fabric bill and a protective tariff measure, all of which. will get the wool pro- ducers of the Wnited States back on their financiat President Walke: of the subject: ; d “Te must be cléarly understood that neither an ‘embargo: no¥ ai’ high protective tariff would! of it- | self be ably to protect the sheep grower from his | greatest foe—the junkman. Even with the em- bargo*and the’ tariff in effect, the wool grower would still need! the protection of the French-Cap- | per truth in fabric bill to shield him from! the un- fai competition of the rag-picker, because shoddy the product of reworked woolen” rags—would still be sold as virgiti Wool under cover of the mis- ‘understood po} term, ‘all wool.” The wool grower will be at the mércy of ‘the shoddy inter- ests until there is passed a law making it compul- sory for the textile manufacturers to. label their cloth with its content of vitgin wool and of shoddy. “With the farmers still burdened with their wool clip of last spring, with the storehouses of the bureaw says on! this virgin ‘wool, with the popular demand for virgin wool cloth artificially diverted by certain’ textile manufacturers from the wool grower to the rag- picker, it is absolutely essential for the protection of the wool growers that the French-Capper truth in fabric bill be ena¢ted as soon as congress re- convenes.” : The truth in fabric measure has been widely approved by the wool growers of the country, in- cluding the local county association. The wool producers are not seeking to put the | makers of adulterated cloth out of business, they aré willing that the shoddy people should live, but they are misisting that the truth be told about what materials are put into cloth that is sold for “all wool.” Now we have the Lord’s Day Alliance to bring back the blue laws and a completely sterilized Sab- bath. SERVES NO GOOD PURPOSE. | The Oklahoma shooting affair, deplorable in the first instance, is’ developing a line of scandal the public should be spared in detail.. Human frailty, resulfing in tragedy, may teach a moral lessom; but the parading of the particulars, when the situation is past all human help, contributes neither to the moral welfare nor the happiness. of society. : $ Now that Mr. Baker has demobilized the last of the slackers the war may be considered at an end. j WORD FASHION.
