F HIGH PRICES AND BOND ERAS. A correspondent wants to know when the hip h prices of everything are going to come down. They will not take a tumble until the nation stops borrowing. However, there is a rift within the clouds. It J9 fortunate that money is so abundant when prices are so high. Maybe that abundance is what makes prices so high. In bond eras, there is always inCation, which means a plethora of funds, and maybe the abundance will keep up as lone as the government is rorrow!ng. This logic is as direct as a two-pound weight tipping the scales with a one-pound weight. 'When the borrowing cease?, prices will go down -ail price -from eggs to wages. There Is an economic philosophv for all this. It is going to make a great difference in ur daily experience when the nation stops borrow nr'. But It is safe 10 say that the prices will sustain hirm levels for several months to come and some will nevci go dowa. It Is quite out of the range of possibility that !lrprices of some things trreatly used will ecr return to the pre-war era.
housest. The Muniie Press, speaking of the official proclamation of the city's mayor, says: "Mayor Bunch, who has issued an order against the showing in Muncie of pictures featuring 'Jack' Pickford, the movie actor who was recently shown to be involved in a Kraft' scheme to sell commissions in the navy, seem a to have a better appreciation of what constitutes an undesirable citizen than Joseph Tumulty, secretary to the President, who saved Pickford from dishonorable discharge from the navy by interfering in his behalf. "Investigation 'of the scandal in the First Navy Pi--triet snowed that Pickford as the go-between in the transactions mid he escaped a ja:l sentence only by turn in.; state's evidence on others involved. The navy recommended 'he discharge of Pickford as kit 'undesirable.' Thereupon Secretary Tumulty wrote a letter to the nny department asking that Pickford be honorably discharged, on the ground that his services were desired in some government propaganda film. "The theater going public ought to turn a cold
shoulder to such men as Pickford. who by his conduc discrared his . profession and his uniform. Therefore Major ll-im-h is right in this matter, and it appears that S.-t re t try Tumulty, no mailer what the pressure in Pickiord's hi half may hao been, was seriously wrong."

KAISER CROSSES $2 PER. That Germany is as forehanded in preparing for pace as she was in preparing for war is very cleat 'v shown by dispatches from German cities printed recentlv in British papers, -ccordinc to a d'spatch from Co'o'.en7.. factories in Khineland cities began working on pe.iccbusiness at 1 o'clock p. ra. of the day on which firing ceased at 11 o'clock a. m. And the cold-blooded commercialism of 'he German effort to get trade is indica'ej by other dispatches stating that one of the big now in dustries is the making if iron crosses which are sold to Allied soldiers in immense numbers at about $2 pr o-ftfi. As each soltfier likes to remember each of his friends with a souvenir, it is probable that in the al'i' d nations there will be in existence fen times as manv German iron crosses as there ever were men in the German army. If these crosses are not testimonials to the valor of German soldiers, they are at least convincing evidence of the unfailing commercial aggressiveness of the German people. Germany began her commercial war before the echoes of the last firing had died away Four months after the armistice became effective, the administration at Washington had not yet completely released the brakes from American industry.

suspend the rules and put a biil on its passage that would have ended disgraceful practices in the Indiana Gretna Greens, some one .; f .';! and the measure had to go over. It is hard to understand why any one would object to legislation intended to correct such evils. It is a state scandal that people can go to ileffers onville and sue.' place? and be married, regardless cf where they live or what their condition may be. The so-CdHcd marrying "s-Tiires arc after the money and they marry all comers. Divorce in Indiana has been increasing a nr. alarming rate. In some counties the divorce ra'c is half the niarriaee rare and in perhaps one or two counties of the state the percentage is even greater. Something is wrone with th attitude of people toward matrimony or the divorc e ov.l would not be on the increase. One trouble is the ease with which people can get married in Indiana. Perfunctory examination is made of the applicants. Many questions are an-o.vt-red untruthfully. Then the license is issued. In Jeffersonv ;l'e there has been built up a business of this character. People go there from ail parts of Indiana and t!;oy come from other states. Thinners meet them and take them to the "marriare parlors." The justices of the peace who perform these ceremonies are not interested in the sanctity of the home and they are not concerned about the divorce evil. They pre out to get the money and they get it. There is hut small need for justices of the peace, e-peeial'y in towns ;ini cities. The movement to abolish them is gaining strene'b. It would ho an excellent tlcrg to d'-nv them tb. rich' to perform niarriaee ceremonies. Indianapolis News.

BAR THE AGITATORS. PASSAIC, N. J., March 29. All labor agitators ot resident of Patsaic are barred from the city, it was announced here today by City Commissioner John H. Kehoe, who stated he believed radical members of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers in New York are trying to gain control of the striking woolen workers. Passajo is taking the bull by the horns in the ritrbt way. One-half of the labor troubles in the country are caused by labor agitators foreicn 10 the community. Kvery city in the country should take the same steps, habor unions are pretty well qualified to take care of their own business without outside interference. Each of them have organizers and accredited delegates who ro amply ablo to take enre of the labor situation in hie particular community. The professional labor agitator is a pest and a ruis ance. The man who eoep from plant to plant without anv knowledge -of the economic conditions there is generaly a radical who breeds unrest and riot. The professional abritrator is of course person rrata. He comes in the interest of peace and harmor." Such a one this week was John .1. Walsh, who came tc Hammond to adjudicate friction and who got results Tiie outside agitator would have endeavored to foment trouble instead of heaiinc the dissension as Mr. Walsh very splendidly did.

MAY TRY GREENLAND. If ti.e liquor laws shali be cariied out in the Vnited .states and Canada, and the authorities wji! find it difficult to avo 1 enforcing them, there will be no wet spot between the Rio Grand and the North Pole, after June :p next, according to the Christian Science- Monitor. Thlast of the Canadian provinces to fall in. Quebec, will become dry on May 1. The manufacture and sale of inoxicants are already forbidden in Prince Fdward Island, Xovia Scotia. New Ilrunswick. Ontario. Saskatchewan. Manitoba. Alberta and Pritish Columbia. No doubt, the liquor interests will try to make a stand in Greenland. b;i tho Danish government, with regard for the amenities, is not likely to afford them any encouragement.
A WHEAT THRIFT STORY. The- Chris'ian Science Monitor has a new kind of i thrift f.trry from Canada. telline,of the harvesting -heat by machinery, an economy on a large scale, de"larlne thst it leave? something for the old-fashioned -leaner to gather afterward. The rale of two girls in Saskatchewan who asked permission of a farmer to go over his stubble field with rakes. Prom sunrise to sun-
. set the girls raked the stubble, an dat the end of the I day the farmer was surprised to see that they had ' gathered a size?bo stack of wheat; in four days they ; gathered gleanings which, when thrashed, yielded them J:;i." worth of wheat. In another county two girls who I heard of this successful experiment got similar permisj sion from a neighbor, and went over some Itio acres of i stubble. The res-ilt th about 15f bushels of w heat.
