It will represent more than the mere cessation of hostilities in the great war. In the ceremonies attending the burial of America’s unknown hero in the sacred soil of Arlington we show the love and honor we accord our defenders. In the gather- ing of delegates of the powers of the world to con- sult and devise ways to blot war from the earth, we show our love for humanity. Surely these are things worthy celebration. , We are trusting that November 11 will mark the passing of the old and the dawning of the new order. An era in the civilization of the world. The estab- lishment of mutual confidence among aations and tryst and brotherly love among peoples. With the hideousness of war abolished, by the lessons and ex- periences in which the nations of the world partici- pated, with the barriers of steel and iron replaced by simple respect and confidence, civilization will em- bark upon a new epoch, more glorious than any ad- vancement made since the world began. The sorrows and sacrifices of the war have brought determination to the peoples. A determination that they will not again be driven to hatred and murder of their fellow men by the rivalries and jealousies of ambitious rulers. The world must change. The peo- ples have changed. There must be better things in the future. aa in oa ea ee THE BUSINESS SITUATION. The progress toward normai business conditions hay been marked by an exasperating deliberateness that has been discouraging; but the last thirty days have been characterized by slowly improving sentiment and by some expression of production. The most marked gains have naturally been in those lines where recov- ery has been the longest delayed. Bituminous coal production is increasing, and while partially seasonal, this to some extent is due to enlarged operations in the iron and steel industry, which is now,running at about 40 per cent of capacity. There has been less change in the rate of production of other leading in- dustries, but gains made since midsummer have so far held. Activity in the building trades is well main- tained. Autumn buying is reflected in an improved retail drygoods trade. It is noteworthy that this betterment is more marked in rural districts than in industrial centers. This is clearly the result of the marketing of-cotton and grain crops at fairly satisfactory prices, and affords grounds for confidence that the extreme depression in the agricultural industry of the United States has definitely passed. Wholesale prices of a number of raw materials have advanced since September 15, while the markets in several lines have been somewhat more active. Cau- tion on the part of the wholesale trade has served to keep the volume of manufacturers’ advance orders small, but frequent repetition of orders for immediate delivery has thus far served to render the present ba- sis of operations fairly stable. There is no doubt that the improvement which has thus far taken place is more or less seasonal in character, but it is neverthe- less true that the progress made toward normal busi- ness is sound. Such temporary setback as may occur after the autumn buying should, therefore, bring no discouragement. Viewing conditions as a whole, the facts justify conservative optimism: as to the future. SIRE CEE THE TEST OF LEADERSHIP. The eristing labor situation presents a test of the quality of labor leadership. Has it the foresight, the wisdom and courage to act for the best interests of the whole body of wage earners and society as a whole? There is no real conflict of interests, for no class is prospering by present conditions. The number of Whge-earners without jobs or on part time shows the futility of attempting to maintain wage-rates above the economic level. The stubborn determination not to yield simply delays the hoped-for revival. They are not engaged in an argument in which the other party may be convinced or coerced; it is an argument with fate; an attempt to coerce economic law. The labor organizations have great power, which they may exercise for good or ill. They are a part of this free social system, which is dependent for pros- perity and progress upon the intelligent co-operation of its members. Nobody can force them to work for wages that they are unwilling to accept, nor on the other hand can they force other people to buy their products or services. There is no power of coercion anywhere, except the general economic law which says that unless a proprietor operates his works he may be forced into bankruptcy and that unless a wage-earner has wages he may be reduced to hunger. All are in- terested in finding a basis of agreement upon which industry can be restored to activity, but nothing can be done except by agreement. Undoubtedly the responsible labor leaders are in a trying position. One of them is quoted as saying that “labor unions are not organized to reduce wages,” they are expected to secure advances rather than re- ductions. Leaders, however, depend for their lasting influence upon their ability to lead wisely and to serve the real interests of their followers, which means that they must serve the best interests of the public as well. There is no achievement worth while for any class unless it promotes the welfare of the entire com- munity. There is a fair adjustment of relations which serves every interest best, because it produces the greatest aggregate results. anything short of that} Fields less to every participant..

ECONOMICS AND LONG SKIRTS. “We have paid little or no attention to the decrees of the Paris dressmakers;’ observes the New Haven Journal, “that longer skirts must take the place of the short skirts this winter and spring. We have la- bored under the man’s notion that these were things beyond the ken and business of the sterner sex, and were strictly matters to be determined in the sewing reom and at the tea table. “It appears that we are wrong and that as a mat- ter of fact it is of economic importance whether at this time the skirts are to’be short or long. The gov- ernment experts have been studying the problem and haye concluded that if the Paris decree is obeyed— from which we had supposed there was no escape— | water supply for the Greybull valley at « cost of $800,000, that section should become one of the greatest from an agricultural standpoint in the state. The plans are based upon the running of a branch line of the Burlington up this valley and it is understood that men connected with the Lincoin Land company a subsidiary of the Burling- duets. His return is contingent only upon the sale of his property inter- ts elsewhere, the deal for which is Measure the cost by the cup--not by the size of the can = A ru twenty-five million yards of cloth will be manufac- tured and sold over and above the demand of last season, Twenty thousand additional employes in tex- tile mills and stores will be required to handle this business. In addition to this economic stimulus, there will be an increased demand for low shoes for wom- en together with a big turnover in trimmings, braid and other decorations needed in the manufacture of suits and gowns under the new styles. Expressed in terms of dollars and cents this runs up into multi- millions in trade, ahd starts things all along, the line, down to the farmer, until the picture conjured up is one of joyous contentment and happiness all over the American lot. ; “Thus mere rean finds his fallacious notions of life corrected at the spigot and bung, and, more than that, he finds that the short skirt is not after all evidence of the emancipation of women and the manifestation of their new found independence. While men have been wondering where the rising skirt and the lower- ing bodice were to stop, conjuring pictures of an earlier and simpler Japan, as a sort of study in fem- inine eccentricity, economic law has been at work upon fashion and subjecting it to cold philosophy. As the years roll by, it will be comforting to know that high or low skirts will reveal the law of supply and demand at work as it operates upon the habits of the sweeter sex,” Fg ee Benin Be PROPAGANDA VERSUS EDUCATION. “President Harding in his excellent message to the press congress of the world in. Hawa’ notes the New York Times, “turns lexicographer, for a para- graph or two to our general edification. Dictionaries are vary slow in noting chang words in their popular usage or in admitting new- comers. Immigrant words or meanings have to un- dergo a period of naturalization and minor words to grow up before they come into full verbal citizenship. ‘minor words and foreign words and phrases.’ . But a president: may confer such citizenship by the decree of his cwn definition, and a president who has been an editor is more likely to recognize merit in words and meanings which have come into daily use. , in- his, definitions of ‘propaganda’ and ‘educa- tion,’ the president no longer finds them synonymous, as Crabb might have done a hundred years ago, in connoting merely the ‘spread’ of information or knowledge; for, as the president insists, “propagan- da,’ with all its patriotic devoutness during the war, and its well-intentioned aspiration for the salvation of tne best in human society, has now a diametrically opposite purpose from that which ‘education’ has. While the latter’s aim is to open the mind, to make it receptive and to urge it to form its own conclusions, ‘propaganda’ aims primarily ‘at shutting up the mind against other conclusions than those which the propa- gandists aim to implant.’ As defined in their effects upon human minds, education (it being assumed that it is properly employed) shows itself in intellectual stimulus, while ‘propaganda’ results, at last, in ‘in- tellectual paralysis.’ “It is a discerning sense of these definitions which have not yet come into the dictonaries that the press of a democracy must have, and perpetually hold against all temptation, if it is to deserve the presi- dent’s conclusion that, in the work of education, in which common men give serious, continuous, effective consideration to the problems of common men, ‘no. single force or influence of which we now know can be expected to exert so. great a potency as the press.’” ster, a ‘minor,’ being placed in the space set apart | 0 LIQUID DEATH. “A Chicago bond broker drank moonshine and in the crazed mental condition which the poison pro- duced, cut his wife’s throat,” reports the Chicago Tribune. “He said that she was quarreling with him, abusing him, and was trying to take a check away that come over old/& ‘Normalcy,’ for example, is still, in the view of Web-| Z= ORIGINATED BY MR.
