" If the new in this country, by giving full coopera- tiom to the government wages at the present of the cost of living. is applied ev- erywhere in the country it is main- faimed that it will mark a new era. There can be no question but what it is time for such an era. We have been fraveling in the other direction o0 long. It is time that we should ‘get down to a sound and sensible basis and realize that the.piling up of demands for higher wages, one on top eof another, the difficulties of bringing about a re- adjustment without affording the de- sired relief, while the stagnation _caused by strikes is simply curtailing “production at the very time when there is great need that it should be inereased. Not only in connection with the statement to the shopmen, whereby understand that the value of the dollar by lowering costs is tried omt. but in relation to the advice given to the railroad men in the west to abandon their unau- thorized strike, must the stand taken by the labor leaders be regarded as significant. It is a move to replace radicalism by common sense which ought to succeed. Intoxicated with power or special advantages there has been a tendency by a certain element _~~o abandon good judgment and give oo fres rein to wild and unjustified un- dertakings. From all indications the labor leaders have been brought to the realization of the necessity of over- ~epming this and for the good of all concerned it is it be hoped that they will be able to do their part in ac- complishing what they are undertak- ing. ANDREW CARNEGIE'S WILL. Of course the one point that gets first consideration in connection with the will of Andrew Carnegie is that which shows that he did not dis a poor man, or a poor man at least in the sense that most people had inter- | L.preted such a statement, for it is im- | possible to consider that the possessor of $25,000,000 or better is entitled to ‘such a rating, and vet in comparison with what he had and what he had. ay, it is quite evi- he possessed in his last days part of that which he And with the same rara judgment that hé used in cemmectloR with the disposal of the $350,000,000 that he had. _previously given away or that he placed in a foundation for the . bene- fit of the public, he distributed what remained of his vast fortune, and thongh he did not actually give away this Jast $25,000,000 or $30,000,000 seven years ago it is quite evident from the date of the will that he had made provision for its disposition at that time. By this document (he great Carme- gle fortune is at last broken up and the outstanding Al 2R distri- bution is that the bulk of it goes for to the top of the ladder was complete and in spite of his commanding po. Sition he @idw't fail to realize the fm- tanities which Mr. Carnegie had for piling up his wealth but under con- ditions of today it is doubtful whether any of the present period will be able to duplicate his accomplishment, but economic and industrial policy launched by the labor leaders in holding level while bending every effort to the reduction is simply increasing’ plicit faith,” whicl facé could have Been no better “demonstrated than it was following the British suceess in the Boer war, when, realizing it was case of sink or swim for sm Af- .,dmm-y and deveted His to its growth and deva'lo.mnt undar the new conditions with such care and- ability thas - he was trusted at home and by the and his. leadership has resultéd not only in the building.up of the tonome 9n the bringing together of the d ferent elements thérein for the bet- terment of “Thiks.could :not have been better dis played than during the late war when had there béen the” disposition South frica could gquickly. have gone over the German side. It stood stead- fast, however, under Botha’s guidance and his solid qualities with the result that it quickly overcame the German efforts and greatly in its ter- ritory. His influence has been felt there on all occasions in thé past two decades - and none better than the Boers know what the passing of this atate’mln ‘means té them. PROHIBITION VIOLATORS. - Quite plainly does it seem to be indicatéd, by theé course that is being pursued in New York city and ether Jarge centers, what the poliey of the federal authorities is gaing to be in reition to the upholding of the war time prohibition act. -What is being | i! done there can be expected to be car- ried out eisewhere for it is to be rec- ‘ognized If the law is going to amount o anvthing it must be upheld. But in addition to that it can be readily understood that the efforts that will be required to enforce. the | war time prohibition law will to a large extent have Its effect in sway- ing the lawmakers when it comes to determining the provisions for the ‘uphloding of the constitutional amendment later on. There are those who have been advocating the strict est kind of requirements, even to the extent that some are so radical as to make it realzed that they will be enough to arouse resentment even among a certain number of support- ers of prohibition, and there are those ‘who have been ur'lht rel.onable en- fercement provision: Inasmuch as the lflll‘ud\\ of tha - quor dealers under the prevailing ‘measure is ‘lkely to be taken #wde: in determining what sho: udore when the amondment belames it must be re: R the law now . is simply go- ing to establish the fact that unless the strictast kind of provisions are es- tablished relative to the enforcement of constitutional prohibition those who are disrespecting ..the war-time law will be doing the. same oy worse la- ter on..-In other words it cannet fail to be seen that what is baimg Jene now Is_simply supporting the advo- cates uf the bene dry. coméltions that have been arousing so much- criticism. " EDITORIAL NOT! 'The ‘mian ‘on the cormer says: Some men hold to the view that duty is only skini deep. There have been indications that there are those who prefer going on @ strike to working. The country may have lost all rev- erence for the pennmy, but it is still evident that the revenue department hasn't.

If these moves fail in securing falr prices, then the com- mission urges legislation that will ce it possible for the state or mu- nicipality to regulate the distribution of milk by the creation of a commis- sion that shail license distributors, regulate prices and limit profits, and aid municipalities desiring to establish municipally owned distribution of milk.
