Not only is this country convinced that untold riches are coming, but it begins to clamor for a dirvy be- fore they arrive. “Pass prosperity around,” is the current cry. From @ dozen directions already labor demands its portion. Bewildered! employers are called upon to share extra profits before they have} made any. Special industries stimulated by war demands are held up 4s signs of what al] industries must be enjoying. The country wants | to eat its cake before it gets it. Unless this excited appetite is curbed until honest work has ac- cumulated something substantial wherewith to satisfy it there will be grim starvation later. War profits are good to look upon. But suppose we let them! set new and artificial wage scales, enppose we make them an excuse for costlier standards of living and unwonted extravagance all up and down the line: When they stop, as stop they must, who is to keep up the high wages? Who is to take care of the thousands who will have no jobs? For the country at large prosperity is still but a promise. too soon to begin to feast on it.

Whon they cheer, they cheer from their hearts. We can imagine no greater gratification to the Chief Executive on his westward trip than this proof that his appeals to citgens of alien birth and sympathy have not gone unheeded and that Germais in this country are to have the example of a loyal Milwaukee.
