BELGIUM SETS EXAMPLE. Does Belgian efficiency and rec-xpe-rative power t-o 'xi' esc! that of Prance and other nations That one is comparatively reconstructed while the others still flounder, or i the explanation in a leaser concern over politics and militaristic pride in Belgium? Whatever the reason the difference between Belgium's rehabilitatoa and in most other Kuropean countries continued industrial prostration U too striking to be ignored. Not even France can claira to have suffered more from German occupation, since Belgium was invaded first and destruction (by the enemy maintained to the last day. Frenc'i industrial equipment was destroyed and carried away, but so was tha of Belgium, which was literally stripped of even ordinary domestic fixtures. Vet Belgium is producing SO per cent of prewar coal ionnage, of which much goes to FraDee, has restored the glass industry and is able to supply structural steel for French coal mines and rails for French railroads. Almost all the industries have been revived, some to greater extent than others, while in some the, restoration is almost to the normal point. In Northern France, on the contrary- there is little improvement over the conditions at the ending ol hostilities. Textile plants, which suffered most, are barely operating, some not at all while industrial work? in other lines a.re doing little or nothing. Perhaps the real explanation is that little Belgium, with her densely crowded population, had no time to waste on politics once fighting ended. Belgium had no advantage over the other countries except, perhaps, serious inclination to get. back to work.

APPROPRIATION NOT USED. Announcement by Julius II. Barnes, United States wheat director, that no part or the $t.OOO.i0V.OO appro priated by congress to maintain the guaranteed price of wheat has been u.-ed and moreover, that the corporation has been able to make a proS' from selling wheat at prices higher than that paid for it, may be taken as an indication that there is no immediate prospect of wheat declining materially. Wb.en the appropriation whs made it was thought possible that this large sum might be paid out to farmers to balance the difference between the market price and the guarantee.

With the diminished acreage ami lea promising I prospect in the home seeding it la not reasonable to 'ex

pert wheat to command a much less price next year, -unless the world crop should operate to lower the market. The high price of bread seems likely to continue for an indefinite period, or until there is a turn in price direction, not only in wheat but in all other commodities that enter directly into the life of the people.

SUBSTITUTE FOR SALOONS. 1 Dr. Frank Crane, whose always bright and imerestitig writings are appearing in many American periodicals, writes along most original lines for "The American City" magazine on that popular topic. "A Substitute for the Saloon." Dr. Crane says "the only war to get anywhere is to start -where you are now," ana the credent day saloon would be his starting point. Xoth-

KNOW WHAT THEY DESERVE. A New Yorker who has confessed to complicity in the wood alcohol whiskey traffic that has caused death to scores and blindness to others is quoted a3 pleading to the authorities: "For God's sake, don't send too to Connecticut. I don't want to be lynched." This shows that there is no question in his mind as to the penalty he and those associated with him in the diabolical business deserve. The deadly effect of the concoction made it clear that there was cold'blooded disregard of human life on the part of some person or persons and the impression is growing that most of those connected with the sale of the stuff had guilty knowledge that it was not as represented, even though all may not have known of its true nature. It is one of the worst cases on record of seeking money regardless of the eff.n of the method on human life. If such wanton disregard of life does not. constitute murderr, what, does? The public will surely have no patience with abuse of technicalities to enable such fiends to escape justice and they will have escaped it if they get any sentence less than the scpteme penalty.

System

The equipment of all public service enterprises in Europe, whether publicly or privately operated, disintegrated terribly during the Great War. There were not funds sufficient to keep them up to standard. As a result the service of public utilities was greatly impaired and much time and money will be required for their restoration. In the meantime the public is inconvenienced. America has been more fortunate. Her wire using companies have been excellently well maintained. This has been due to untiring effort and vigilance upon the part of operating officials and the public's willingness to pay liberal rates. The Telephone Company must continue to charge rates sufficient to maintain good service, since every element entering into that service costs more than it did six months ago, and costs are still advancing. The successful telephone company must have the cordial co-operation of its patrons, particularly with respect to the payment of fair rates.

rF,IIE successful fanner raises bigger crops and cuts down costs by investment in labor-saving machinery. Good prices for the farmers crops encourage new investment, more production and greater prosperity. Bui. the success of agriculture depends on the crowth of railroads the modern beasts ofburden that haul the crops to the world's markets. The railroads like the farms increase their output and cut down unit costs by the constant investment of new capital. With fair prices for the work they do, the railroads are able to attract new capital for expanding: their facilities. Rates high enough to yield a fair return will insure railroad growth, and prevent costly traffic congestion which invariably results in poorer service at higher cost. National wealth can increase only as our railroads grow. Poor railroad service is dear at any price. o growing country can long pay the price of inadequate transportation facilities.
