Protecting Meat Packers | —| We've been hearing a lot about the natural law of} ly and demand” as an excuse for the extortion and/ in prices that have prevailed during the war. We! told by glib artists that because there was such a} demand for everything, and the supply being short, | naturally jumped skyward. And now comes the an- sement that millions of pounds of canned meat and! ¥ t but not needed by the war department any) will NOT be ;laced on the United States market. | The meat packers have seen to that, and the army) fs yielded to the meat packers. | "If it were not for that, the supply might have exceeded) demand, and so the prices would have had to fall. _ The packers, you see, do not permit the natural law} and demand to take place unless it is for the! rpose of boosting costs. Heads, the public loses; tails,) meat packers win. Seattle woman, arrested with 44 quarts of booze in her possession, says she is an artist. No doubt, no opel Anyone who could gather such a horde must one.

The only way to stop eggs is to kill the hen that lays them. Bolshevism is rampant in Russia, is mur- dering, destroying and shrieking there, be- cause the people are Hungry and Ignorant. Their Ignorance may not be book Ignor- ance; it is worse; it is Ignorance of the Art of Self-Government. | The only way people learn to govern them- | is the egg of Hunger | | selves is by governing themselves. Centuries of Autocracy never taught Russia that. It left her in pitiable ignor- ance of this great art. | Now she is learning. And in the only way she can learn—by doing it. The doing of | it may be bad, horrible, and destructive, but | better this chaos than the deceptive orderli- | ness of Czarism and Kaiserism. The French Revolution at its worst was _ better for France than the splendor of the | reign of Louis XIV. at its best; for it con- tained the seed of self-government. Those are right who insist that, bad as the plight of Russia may be, her people should be left to work out their own sal- | | vation. If we want to avoid Bolshevism in the United States we must stick to the principle that the only cure for the ills of Democracy is more Democracy. We must trust the people. We cannot them into order. To attempt to do so is to invite revolution. All talk of harsh measures, imprisonment, executions and the like, betray an ignorance of history. Such plans have never succeeded. We must strike at the root, at the causes that make Bolshevism. We must obviate Hunger by encouraging business, by giving capital security, by keeping up the wages of labor, by restrict- ing immigration intelligently. Prosperous workers, getting good wages and saving money, will never become Bolshevists. We must obviate Ignorance by an imme- diate and enormous increase of efficiency in our public schools. It very life of a Democracy that every child receive training. Thousands of children in this country are not in school; they are idle, or working for a living. iN say we cannot afford more schools is a lie. j along with antique | tho | the native Australians | of is essential to the | Are the schools we now have drooling book-learning and giv- ing no thought to training children in the principles of Self-Government? Bolshevism, which is but another name for mob madness induced by Hunger an Ignorance, is truly combated only by spreading Intelligence, by Educating the | children, by establishing justice, by remov~- jing unearned Privilege, and by promoting sound Business which brings prosperity. ~ Alopecia Seborrhoica ..
