NOT AN ASSKT.
A precise knowledge of tht? Pla
tonic or Aristotlean plilosophy would
not seem to he of any very great
use to the modern Greeks. But they
are learning that the key to living
these days is embodied in the anti
(|iie formula that “might makes
right”.
\l.l, CHIKI S.
G. orge Bond must feel much like
the aide bodied seaman on the Nova
Scotia barque where all the rest on
hoard were officers. In the Nome
fire department we have a chief of
police, a chief of the Fire depart
ment and a chief engineer. The
Council in order to lie consistent
might change Baud's tittle to Chief
of the Chemical.
,.\Cli HOI.I*..
The council is apparently stuck
on the idea of immuring the at
rested ones within their basement
of the Fire Department building.
What with an official certificate ot
it's being sanitary and the general
imprimatur of the commitee, one
would believe that they had certain
ly discovered some elixir vitae down
in that cellar.
HOW ABOIT IT?
( oni'-s now Professor W. Frank
1' -arson professor of economics who
after making elaborate investiga
tions anti comparing relative statis
tics of prices says that the wages
paid today have sustained so big a
loss in purchasing power that *22.7 5
is required to buy " !’ ■■ ' T ' ould
buy live years ago. But little at
tention is being paid to this fact in
wage payments, and in consequence
l’earson says that the workers are
adapting themselves to a lower
standard of living It is surely a
tvoiidt rful Wilson prosperity.
\ may n»r\.
i.iv: r ii fir an Britain the war is
V.,thing them careful of the babies.
They have been killing off so many
ad ; 1 • that they fear there may he a
sic rtar.'i of labor to do the work
in another generation. So the gov
-• no ut lias appointed a eornmis
,-i u o investigate whe lher or not
tin work women are now doing im
pair.- their ability to he mothers.
What an absurd idea surely!
Imagine such a preposterous action
being followed in this country and
a t ommission investigating whether
the labor of women prevents them
from bearng healthy children. As
if there can be any other concern
the world hut profits. This war
•certainly is giving rise to all sorts
of crazy conditions and peace can
■come none too soon.
BEGINS EAR AWAY.
At the Euclid Avenue Baptist
Church, which John D. usually at
tends. they took up a collection
from the congregation for Foregn
Missions. The way the munitionist
contractors came through was wond
erful to see, and a newspaper re
porter says that they collected about
a hundred dollars a minute for
twenty minutes. One can readily
understand how keenly appreciated
this “charity” is bv the Lord, when
Tic considers the source whence it
comes.
SOM!-; CONCEKV.
The hiti i rate Commerce Commis
sion admits some concern at the
continued increase in earnings ol‘tlie
railroad;-. Those earnings are now
higher than they have ever been
and are still growing higher. In
one month recently the earnings
were an average of $545 a mile, an
increase of $4:i over the same month
in a preceding year when a similar
increase was also noted over the
former year. There seems to be no
body of men so far have had occa
sion to feel concern that the earn
ings at' the laboring classes have
been exceeding the speed limit dur
ing this unparalleled prosperity.
THE EAltl.Y ( I.OSINt; MOVEMENT
The earnest efforts being made by
some to work shorter hours and
close their stores earlier than usual
is without doubt a move in the right
direction. Attention may be direct
ed to the fact however that the early
closing movement would receive
more sympathy from organized
labor if the employees were also or
ganized in those stores.
SOME MONEY.
The will of Joint Dustin Arclibold
! tiled tor probate exceeds one hund
red million dollars personal property
alone. Teachers in the rural distrcts
of the state of Wisconsin average
forty dollars a month salary. How
I long would they have to live before,
j by teaching the American youth ot
i the Badger State, they would indi
vidually acquire the same amount
as the late oil king? Dont all speak
j at once.
PK.\<K AM) GOODWILL.
It must be satisfying to this
j later day Christianity that at least
around Christinas time they talk
peace even if they actually are at
war. It is many a long day since
ike Star in the clast shone upon the
Birth that was to bring peace on
earth and goodwill towards men.
But the message has got mixed in
the shuffle, and the teachers of the
i
I
j
Word are donning uniforms and
fighting with the best of them in the
trenches.
William T. Stead once wrote about
what would happen if Christ came
to Chicago, it would be an inter
esting story to write what would lie
s.id by Him if lie visited tiie
trenci on the east and west fronts
and u hat would be ills criticism ot
Hi developments in bis teachings
that c(( lesiasticism has made,
when such things happen in the
name of him and under His own
liartii tilar banner in one form or an
other of the Cross
Likely enough no one will ever
give the matter a thought very
deeply, and there is no reason why
in the world are they to be expected
j to model their lives after his mess
age during times of war. And tilt
j only rightful conclusion to come to
| is that these wars are possible be
| cause witli churches assenting, men
j have made Mammon worship the be
( all and end-all of their existence.
Here is a church corporation fat
tening upon tenaments; there is a
charitable institution profitably
operating a laundry or a
clothing factory with orphan
ed labor in the Name of God;
here is ecclesiasticism bolstering up
the greed of capitalism in return
for a salaried sinecure. When such
an adjustment of Christ's teaching
is possible, anything is possible
under it, and that’s about the size
of it.
GOLD SHIPMENTS CONTINUE.
The steady flow of yellow metal
from warring nations to the United
Hates still continues, and the great
toast is made that the United States
s now the great financial center of
he world. The only probable out
ome of the great influx of gold into
he United States is that gold, rela
tive to other commodities will de
rease in price, and that for this
•eason its purchasing power as the
■ommon medium of exchange will
tlso diminish.
The good old law of supply and
demand will effect that. Moreover
although it is the workers who get
their hooks least of all upon the
yellow metal, it is they who will feel
the main result of the plentitude
of the supply in the United States.
The goods they buy will be ex
pressed at a higher price in terms
of gold. The irony of the gods runs
deep through the story of the capi
talist economy.
