She cannot, with- lunless she exports finished products with which To a geeater or less degree this is true of! all other nations with the exception of the Un- ited States. All that we need to export is our t ‘surplus and it has not yet been proved that our home market cannot be devtloped to absorb even what now appears to be surplus. It was only back in 1896 when there were only four gasoline automobiles in the country. In 1918 there were only about four million. Today ™ there is about one automobile in use for every ten people including men, women and children. Any one who in 1916 had made the prophesy that in the year 1923 there would be more than ten million automobiles in use would not have heen taken seriously. It could have been proved by statistics, beyond a question of a doubt, that it would be impossible to sell that} many automobiles in the United States. It could reasonably be assumed that no person with | an income less than $2,000 a year could afford to own and operate an automobile. | The est incomes © 000 or over a year, was 2,748,000, | 366,000. is easy to see that the automobile industry had reached the saturation point by 1918 and could not expect to do more than replace cars already sold. Yet the number of automobiles has more than doubled since that time. No set of figures seem to indicate just how much our people can buy and pay for. Regard- Looking at it from this point of view, it| would certainly seem a great deal better to do| less worrying about what they are doing in Eu- rope, keep our tariff as high as we can and) devote our attention to making the people at home want more goods. The protective tariff alone cannot keep out all foreign goods. It is necessary for our own manufacturers to make our people want the goods to sell. ay back in 1812 it was found that the people ‘ountry could not be prevented from buy- ign goods by the tariff alone. au mi foreign goods were offered for sale here. fore, in order to give the people a real pride in hi ient to support two adults. aes Aner anata the government should} > on public improvement work of sufficient Samiti to provide at Sd the unemployed, above wage standard. 4 | wt eUatil thenall voters unable to find steadg | work should vote for the Republican candidates | for all offices being held by Democrats, and for the Democratic candidates for all offices | being held by Republicans. _There should be} no reelection in any voting district where idle voters are numerous enough to be a_balance/ of power. Work for the unemployed is the; ount issue. PeveAtter a few “clean sweep” elections the un- ‘employed will get work instead of investiga- tions and reports.” The above is printed on an ordinary post card bearing the Chicago post mark. These cards have ‘been received by a miscellaneous lot of | people here. They have doubtless been received elsewhere in the west. These sentiments are not fathered or moth-| ered apparently by any organization or associa-| tion, are sent out unsponsored even by any in- dividual. And we wonder what is hoped to be accomplished by such propaganda. It does Hot come from any branch of organized labor, for organized labor is no coward. It does not seek to do business with the public anonymously It presents its case squarely and fights for its rights boldly and openly. If the person or the people behind any such movement. if it be a movement, are at all in- formed with reference to the labor situation | «in this country, they will know that there is | no such thing as unemployment in this broad! Jand. Everybody who will work can have work | at adequate wages. We have not heard that) ployments are overcrowded. Sell | The idea of placing one political party in| ‘office and kicking it out at the following elec tion, is a most brilliant way of obtaining re- sults, and any party that will pledge to carry out any such program as is suggested, ought to be kicked out before they are kicked in, for they would be unworthy of trust or confidence. This is bloc stuff in its worst form. Its backers must know it, for they are unwilling to lend the authority of themselves or their or- ganization to it. We have had about enough of this line of Propagands sent broadcast over the country. t is high time some effort were made to put an end to it. It is false and deceptive and contributes to confusion. Honest men and ‘women engaged in making a living and recover- ing from the distress and disturbance of war times should not be afflicted by any such scur- ‘rilous and hypocritical drivel as is contained in fuch communications. «= . The post office department should at once Select a group of “rot” censors for the large mail enters, armed with authority to dump tons of this stuff, and thus relieve the mails and the general public at the same time. Conserving Prosperity The United States, we are told, cannot pros- sper unless the European countries prosper. Then in the same breath we are told that as =soon as the European countries begin to pros- «per they are going to send a lot of goods to this “country and that is going to hurt our mannfac- jturers. According to these. people we can’t prosper if the countries in Europe are not ‘prospering and if they do prosper they are going to hurt our prosperity. Yet we go on enjoying a goodly amount of prosperity-and why? = We enjoy it because our markets are not ‘flooded: with foreign products to any great de- gree. If we could keep out the cheap foreign oods there is reason to believe we would pros- aper to an even greater extent. ‘n other words. at is quite evident that onr prosperity really floes depend more upon preventing other naticns drom dumping goods in this country than it sdoes on the prosperity of any other nation. = Those who would cast gloom, have not the Maith in the United States they should have. @Whey overlook the fact that our prosperity does ‘not depend so much upon imports and exports es it does upon how much we produce here and ae much we consume. There is not another rountry ip the world so well equipped to pro- ince ull if consumes and to consume all it pro- uces as is the United States. Such a condi- jon requires an entirely different application of home made goods, the custom of holding cou state and city fairs was adopted.

The very fact that savings bank : ccounts are inere: ing indicates that our people can buy more thau | they are buying. The fact that imports of for- eign goods appear to be on othe increase, that when speakers from foreign countries tour the 5 United States they talk to crowded houses of people who have paid to hear them speak and many other facts point to the ability of our people to buy more than they are buying of things that are produced right here in this country. Far better than talking abont what the tar- iff can’t do, is to make our own people realize that their prosperity depends in no small meas- ure upon how many American goods they buy. One thing that the tariff alone cannot counter- i hi act is the desire on the part of many of our peo- jever had to leave their home to djs- pose of all the market stuff the: may run all the way from husbands to hosiery. had to sell. ‘4 ple for things that are foreign, a desire that If less talking was done about foreign countries | and foreign goods and more about our own coun- this ranchman instead of his hav- Mi AEC try and our own goods, there is reason to be- 1s to go to it, enabled him to spend anybody's job is in danger that specific em-|Jjeve that our prosperity would be greater and !s time raising more vegtables and continue to become increasingly greater than it is. suits brought into the courts of the land by These suits are not only brought against pro- fessional men, such as doctors, dentists and | ¢ others, but against railroad corporations and other public service institutions where accidents and damage, often death, has. ensued, the neg- igence of duty. These things .have gone on for years and individuals and their families haye yet to learn wisdom in such cases, Wisdom enongh, at least, to know, that the professional man or the employing corporation does not become an enemy to be haled into court and sued for some ex- trayagant sum of money, because an accident has occurred resulting in a permanent injury or the death of an individual. | In the’ first place professional men take every precaution to avoid untoward occurrences. Failroad and other public utility concerns as well as others, not public utilities, but whose employes engage in hazardous occupations, em- ploy every precaution against accident and every safety device known. Yet accidents do occur.

They do not seek to injure any individual, are skilled in their pro- fession or business, are careful and houorable in their dealings to a very high degree. They are less liable-to error than the individual, and surely less liable to error than the individuals’ relatives. The damage suit: has become a menace to the conduct of many professions and services, where employes are involved.
