a in charge of American citizen. These sound like common-sense proposals for the creation and maintenance of a merchant marine worthy of the United States. We have as yet little more than the material basis of sea power. We have the ships; it remains to make the fullest use of them, and that is a matter of careful, constructive effort and friendly co-operation between the government and the shipping interests.

Most of ns have been waiting, since the news came, Nov. ll, of the cessation of the world madness, for prices to drop; and they haven't dropped. We have been prying around a bit for our own satisfaction, and we have discovered that there Is every likelihood that prices will be higher before they are lower. We doubt, indeed, if prices generally will be lower in this generationAnd we don't care whether you mean the price of x house, of a watch, or of a pork chop, or of a spring suit. We have about concluded that what we need, and have the money to pay" for, we will buy; just as we did before the war.

If you are going to build a house, or a chicken j coop, you will not save any money by waiting; not if! you wait for five years. Labor, transportation and cost of raw materials establish prices. Labor is not going to tolerate any cut in wages, of consequence. And labor, the world over, is in a position today to get justice. The cost of raw materials, of foodstuffs, of fuel and minerals will not be materially lessened. Tha cost of transportation is more likely to increase than to be diminishedWhere is your scale of lower prices coming from? From nowhere, unless every trade indication is false. The wise men are going ahead on the new basis, and doing business. The sooner we all quit hajiging back, waiting for the impossible, the sooner will the trade volume increase to the point where some slight decrease in business costs may be achieved; the steady flow of business is the only possible chance for even slightly lessened prices. We must be clothed and fed and housed and amused; to the extent of our needs and ability let us proceed as we did in the peaceful years. Hanging back on the halter and waiting for the green pastures t inarch to our nosebags will never feed us. Laporte Herald.

HOW TO ERADICATE BOLSHEVISM. Bolshevism in the last analysis is the protest of the lower classes of society against what they conceive to be the oppression of those occupying a higher plane. It is the attempt of the peasantry to cast off the yoke of hunger, discouraging taxation and enforced military service, under which they have been struggling in Europe for years, and to give themselves the privileges they have seen enjoyed by the various strata of society above them. The French revolution was but an cutbreaTiTif Bolshevism, brought about by the excesses of the French court of the times. The French commune of a later date was another popular protest against the conditions under which the common people were forced to live in the ond empire. The ground has been prepared for years for the outbreak of Bolshevism in Rus.-ia. Autocratic rulers, crushing taxation, no attempt to alleviate the condition of the working class all contributed to a state of social unrest wrych needed but a spark to start a Keenral uprising among the masses. The war furnished the pretext. Conscription of the men to fight for a cause they knew nothing of; horrible slaughter of soldiers, undertrained, frequently unarmed, and utterly incapable of competing with the German war machine; and taxation, increased even further by the war's demands, furnished a fertile field for the insidious German propaganda cunningly designed to encourage the plain peple of Russia to revolt against existing conditions. Once they had tasted powder and realized that no government could exist without their support the people were quick to take control, turn out their former rulers and set up a system of their own Progress from that state of affairs to the present chaos in Russia has been but a natural evolution. But what of our own country? We hear of headquarters of the Bolsheviki in the United States, of hundreds of axencies they have established among our people, and that our mails are keing flooded with their propaganda. Largely in the proportion that our institutions oppress the American people, as the governmental systems of the Old World bear upon its peoples, will the dangerous seed take root among us and flourish. It cannot succeed among a conented. well-fed. busy population. It will become implanted and grow where discontent is the nil, where decent food is beyond the reach of the poor, and where unemployment exists to any extent. To prevent Bolshevism in America we must resort to introspection. If any of those conditions are present at any point than danger threatens at that place. The causes for discontent, whether from governmental autocracy or otherwise, must be ascertained and eradicated; it is imperative that the price of food be brought down

to the lowest possible level; and employment found for every able-bodied man. When that is done (and a speedy consummation of th world peace, with a resumption of normal international commerce, will contribute more to those ends than anything else) then we can rest serene in the confidence that we are safe from the destructive influences of Bolshevism.

When yon see a man in uniform peddling souvenirs, do not jump to the conrlusion that he is a poor soldier in peed. In all probability he is an importer, using the American uniform as a a stock in trade for making a living. It is jour duty to notify the nearest policeman and have his case investigated. Colonel Arthur Woods. Assistant to the Secretary of 'War. has written to the Chief of Police in every city in the United States asking or the co-operation of the police in dealing with tho peddler, panhandler, and street fakir in the uniform of the Army and .Navy.

BUILDING UP SEA POWER. The great merchant fleet built up and still in progress of building under the direction of the United States government was meant primarily as a war weapon. It did help powerfully to win the war, even in its Infancy. Its usefulness does not end with the emergency that inspired it. With the war over, the opportunity of the fleet as it cornea to full growth may be saij to be only just beginning. As the vessels are transferred to private ownership and operation, it i3 expected that they will reach an efficiency and vitality that American shipping has not experienced since the old "clipper" days; and they will carry "a volume of passengers and freight hitherto undreamed of. Looking ahead to the full effectiveness of this great Bwarm of ocean carriers. Chairman Hurley suggests three big constructive measures: First, he would encourage the development of fast steamers into an American mail service covering the world, permitting the compensation of ocean carriers "on a business basis." Second, he would establish a centrally controlled

wireless telegraph service under control of the navy,

to promote the safety of the ships and their trews and passengers, and to give American shipping interests "ti benefit of prompt, comprehensive commercial information. Third, he would make adequate provision for training officers so that American ships would always go to

AND THE POT IS BOILING OVER. Five months have now passed since the armistice was signed with Germany. Yet the delegates to the peace conference are still wrangling. It is disappointing that the allied powers, who fought during the war with such noble harmony, seem now unable to make the compromises necessary. Very momentous problems of reconstruction are waiting in all the allied countries. And day by day anarchy and chaos grow in Europe and threaten to unsettle the whole world. In this country great problems are unstetled. The future of the railroads of thousands of me nin the railroad supply industry must be kept employed. But how

can they be kept at work, if neither the government officials nor the officers of the railroads know whether the .'roads are to be handed back to their former owners?

This is only one of many problems. Some will say the delay is due to the attempt m in

ciuae the league of nations in the settlement, and some

will say the hitch is elsewhere. Some will believe that

the French or other delegations are disposed to insist on

impossible terms, while others will say the American

aeiegauon is disposed to let the Germans off with too

easy a punishment.

But there will be general agreement among all these

shades of opinion, that the peace settlement has taken

too long. President Wilson may very well suggest that he will soon have to come home unless European interests show more disposition to get together. Lafayette Journal.

WHY THEY ARE RE-ENLISTIN G. As veterans of the war offer themselves for reenlistment at New York recruiting stations, they are being asked why they wish to rejoin the army, says the Christian Science Monitor. Many veterans are beins recruited and In few cases, apparently, because there is no other employment in prospect; in fact, only two men in a hundred enlist because they find it difficult to get civilian work. Forty per cent, want to return to France and the German zone of occupation under conditions less exciting than than those of the war. They feel, one may Judge, that the next few years there will be interating and th life not so strenuous. Thirty-two per cent, desire to take advantage of the opportunity that the army affords its soldiers for learning civilian trades. Sixteen per cent, return to the, army in gratitude for the fact that it "made men of them;" an deight per cent, because they have acquired a liking for army life. One point which the answers have in common is that they show

respect for the United States army by those who have

served in it.
