What excitable beings our English eous- ins really are. They have positively no control over jtheir emotions. Their liability to fly off at a tangent fwill never be understood by their American relatives tregardless of the propaganda peddled on this side of ithe pond respecting their lymphatic temperament and thopelessly stolid nature. ; ! What would scarcely gain passing notice in Amer- fica would cause a riot in Englraid. }. To better illustrate the point. In London, the other’ iday, an Oxford street hosiery shop hired a beautiful tyoung woman to sit in the show window, masked, and itry on silk stockings. It was a simple little bit of ‘business enterprise on the part of the shopkeeper, the lobject being to display the styles, kinds, colors and {fit of so necessary an article ax hosiery. | Excitable Englishmen could scarcely contat« or con-| itrol themselyes. They assembled in great numbers to view the proceedings, broke the plate glass, and all tbut wrecked the shop. The poor young lady was ifrightened almost out of her wits. She had never had tsuch an enthusiastic reception in all her life, and to ‘save herself from being trampled under foot retreat- ed to the rear of the store and hid behind the coun- ‘ter. She could not understand why gentlemen should jshow such unusual anxiety to purchase the goods the merchant kept for sale, as to come in such numbers. As an outcome to the affair, the shopkeeper was ar- rested and fined for creating a riot. Merely to show the difference between the English and the Americans, an American gentleman loitering back to his office from lunch, would not waste a glance upon a show window where similar exercises were be- ing held. but wonld coutinue on to business seeing no attraction in such displays, And if the merchant could count even a half dozen newsboys who would, out of pure curiosity, give the show the once dver, he could consider himself lucky. When silk stockings und neatly turned ankles be- come as common on the other side as they are in America our English friends will cease to tear the house down at the sight. -_ OO PLEASE SIGN YOUR NAME. How often, oh, how often, must the writer for the press be reminded that he must sign his name to his communications? It is a matter of importance to the editor, even if it is a matter of no consequence to the ‘writer. It is impossible to get by with an unsigned article, yet it is tried every day of the week. If writers will only understand that an editor is a friend and not an enemy, is to be trusted, and is al- ways ready to help in any worthy object, willing to give space to your views on public matters, but he must positivlye know who you are. It is the good faith of the matter that concerns the editor and he does not insist that your name be used with your com- munication. When we tell our friends that more matter is de- posited in the waste basket than is published in the newspaper because writers do not sign their names we are simply repeating what we have said on numerous occasions before. Please sign your letters. _——_—__ OO BONUS HYPOCRISY. “Great is the sojicitude at Washington for the vet- erans,” says the New York Tribune. “Hearts bleed with sympathy—are so filled with noble pity that they ate ready to disregard the temperate advice of the president and to jam through a bonus bill over his veto. “Bosh! No wonder en increasing number of service men turn away from the spectacle with disgust. The safe and sane young men who went across the seas are not green enough to be fooled by such buncombe. ‘They don’t like being presented to the country, as mendicants. Their sense of self-respect is affronted. ‘They don’t believe in the sincerity of their self-ap- pointed champions. : “The professed friendship for the soldiers in the main is hypocritical. How can this be known? How gan‘so heavy a charge be, justified? The evidence is not doubtful. In the debate it is easy to see one out-' Standing faci. This is that the bonus shouters, when their constituents are asked to pay a part of the bill, invariably shout loudly that they wiil not. “What is to be thought of groups whose members bn one side of their faces are tearfully concerned over’ the plight of the soldiers and on the other are angrily indignant over giving a penny? No one who would pot contribute is a friend of the soldiers. “He mere-! ly masquerades as one. ‘His acts do not square. with | his words. “The American public is responsive to the claims of rentiment and justité. “It recognizes that when ‘the! hoys went away others took their jobs at high wages.

Prices of a number of important commodities have shown an upward tendency during the last thirty days. Of the 26 commodities regularly quoted in Commerce Monthly, 10 were higher on February 15 than on Jan- uary 15, nine were lower, and seven had not changed. While this upward tendency has been the occasion for many optimistic expressions of opinion, fit is an open question as to whether the effect is good or bad if the result is the encouragement of an expectation of & general rise in prices. One of the - principal ob- stacles to the orderly resumption of business in recent months has been the persistent belief that business prosperity and rising prices are synonymous. This be. lief arises in part trom the fact that the present gen- eration of Americen business men has Practic- ally all of its experience in a period of rising prices. In part, however, it has a much more dangerous origin in the experience of the war years, when in too many cases speculation became a substitute for legitimate Profits. The essential at all times is a proper relationship between the different groups of cummodity prices, wages, transportation rates and other. for goods and services. Such an adjustment, following the violent price decline of the last two years, is ex- tremely difficult to make, and as it proceeds prices of those commodities which have fallen too low in rela- individual commodity at all times responds more or less independently to conditions affecting supply and demand for it alone. It is the judgment of some of the most distinguished price theorists that the history in process of repetition, and that a long period of de-_ tory of prices from 1900 to 1913, a typical modern period, offers no basis for belief that iacreases iti the meneral price level will be rapid enough to offer hope of speculative gains. a: they have heretofore under normal conditions, on hard work, efficiency and economy. a ACTING WITH WISDOM. There is talk in New York state of running Gover-| nor Miller for the United States senate as the succes-! sor of William M. Calder, who is regarded as lacking sufficient ctrength to defeat former Governor Al Smith, touted)as the most popular Democrat in that party. Governor Miller went in onthe Republican, landslide in 1920 and has made an excellent executive and added much to the party prestige. He is thought sble to defeat the opposition party’s candidate. If Calder is eliminatc] and Miller drafted in the running New York Republicans will have an interesting guber- nitoria] situation to handle. t The sentiment throuchout the state is undoubtedly for Colonel Tixeodore Roosevelt, and the elevation of Governur Miiler to the United States senate affords the Republicans the opportunity to advance the young colonel another step along the ‘trail’traveled by the illustrious father. A most cherished ambition on the part of all New York Republicans. Colonel Roosevelt had announced” his support of Governor Miller provided the governor sought another term. . From this distance outside New York Republicans seem. to be treading the pathway of political wisdom, in the arrangement they are endeavoring to bring about, ——— 9 WATCH YOUR HEALTH. Dr. Victor C. Vaughan, the noted toxicologist, talks With some sense when he says this is the season. when persons in ordinarily robust health suddenly “blow up” and become susceptible to pneumonia and kindred Iments. He accqunts for it on the ground of fatigue. In the summer months people are out of doors a great deal and take physical exercise which they do not get in winter. As the weather grows colder and more disagreeable outdoor activities are abandoned fcr the warm, comfortable home and the steam heated office. All forms of exercise are laid aside until the sun shines regularly and the spring breezes blow. Ordinary resistence and reserve energy are good for | several months but as February drags along to the end the physical overdraft is suddenly presented and there is nothing with which to pay except the unacept- table coin of fatigue, It is at such a time that colds run rapidly inte pneu- monia and with the fortifications leveled disaster is the usual result. Late February is the best time to slow up and ‘at the same time take more exercise. i THE BASIS FOR CONFIDENCE. The outstanding fact in the world today is the eco- nomic strength and soundness of the United States. This is strikingly evidenced by the character of the statements for 1921 made by many firms and corpora- tions. While the results for the year reflect losses:so large that even those most intimately in touch with both the broad and the'detailed aspects of these busi- nesses were hardly prepared for them, reductions in working capital and in surplus accounts have para- doxically left most firms and corporations in a sound- er financial situation than for many years! The sharp reduction in liabilities against even reduced assets has left room for healthy growth and development, where in the past in many cases this was not possible. The results of business depressions are by no means wholly evil. Easy profits result in inefficient and care- less business habits and in individual and corporate extravagance. Hard times compel “efficiency and thrift. E asi aay cece The Atlanta Constitution says the Lincoln Journal) has discovered the happiest man in the world. He lieves in. North. Georgia and he has six. fiddies, ten children, thirteen hounds, a deaf and dumb wife and voted for the principle of adjusting compensation. “That nothing has been done is largely. because the command of movements to this end has been grabbed by those who. world.pay, nothing themselves. - An in- tegral part of the problem is that a claim against all @f.us shall be met by all of us.
