THURSDAY, JULY 3, 1919.
CAUSE OF UNREST
A high British authority reeen lv
expressed his deliberate conviction
lhat of the social unrest now prev
alent throughout the world, eighty
per cent must be ascribed to the fall
in the purchasing price of money.
However this may be in general, it is
safe to say that the dissatisfaction
which is taking shape in the forma
tion of the Middle Classes Union in
England is mainly due to this cause.
When the money unit falls in value—
and the fall which we have been ex
periencing in the last few years is
beyond all precedent—the adjustment
which in the course of time restores
normal relations is nowhere so slow
as in a large section of what may be
called the middle classes. In the case
of the wage-earner there is a painful
interval, but on the whole the time of
his suffering from the dislocation of
prices is not apt to be very long.
Salaries are far slower than wages to
respond to the pressure ;and incomes
from interest-bearing investments do
r.ot respond at all. The government
official, the college professor, the per
manent employe of almost any firm or
private corporation, has to pull
through as best he can on his old
salary, or a salary but little increased,
while the prices of everything he
needs for himself and his family have
gone up to unheard-of heights. rI he
hardship is truly a grevious one, and
the wonder is that the complaining is
not louder and more insistent than it
is. It must be remembered, neverthe
lesrs, that the forces of adjustment,
though slow-working in this domain,
are yet constantly operative—that the
grievance, however serious, is not. of
a permanent, nature. Whether by any
scheme of automatic adjustment, such
as that proposed by Professor Irving
Fisher, relief could be obtained Vtfth
out inviting troubles more serious
than those it removes is one of the
interesting questions of the day.
WHAT THE WAR HAS DONE
--—
They say that when Monk Eastman
was examined for the draft the army
surgeons found his body fairly cov
ered with knife and gun-shot wounds.
Each of these scars was a dishonor
able one, representing not one, but
many, lawless acts—for not even his
best, enemy in the New York police
department but would.admit that the
famous gunman commonly gave bet
ter than he received. Now if you
don't know offhand who Monk East
man is, this is no time to sketch his
picturesque career. It is enough to
say that he was perhaps the most
notorious gangster and all-around
handy man with gun and knife that
New York has ever known; bold,
crafty, cruel, brave, unscupulous and
undisciplined. He served in state’s
prison, was discharged caught up by
the draft, sent to France and fought
prison, was discharged, caught up by
came back to America from the army,
and returned to private life—but not
to the exercise of that citizenship
which he forfeited with is prison sen
tence. So he returned to private life,
but with a couple of more wounds—
honorable scars this time—received
in battle, and with his company com
mander’s rating of “Excellent” on his
service-record, which is the highest
rating a soldier may receive. He had
in addition a decoration for valor, and
letters from his platoon and regi
mental commanders which recited,
among other things, that Private East
man had shown himself to be self
controlled, unselfish, hard-working,
brave and well-disciplined; that he
had been a distinct credit to himself,
to his regiment and to his country;
and that his country oug^t to take
cognizance of these facts by restoring
him to full citizenship. And the other
day Governor Smith signed certain
papers which officially place Private
Eastman where unofficially and in
fact he has been for these many
4
months—among those who are pulling
their weight in the boat. Queer, fine,
big thing, this army of ours has been:
we haven’t seemed to need a Foreign
Legion in which to bury our scamp
fighters; scalawag and parson, banker,
ana bootblack—but what’s the use of
moralizing? The facts done that. „
An editorial appeared in The Times
under the heading “Beware.” It dealt
hs a warning to subscribers of fake
stocks and exception was taken to the
article by O. A. Campbell of the Har
vey-Campbell Dirigible Aircraft Cor
poration, who is in the city selling
stock. We wrote the article in good
faith and not for the benefit of, or
against any corporation. Mr. Camp
bell exhibited letters and telegrams
from stockholders, etc., and explained
the possibility of air service to
Alaska with their dirigible, which
would be a good thing for Alaska in
general and we would like to see the
company succeed if it will benefit
Alaska. Mr. Campbell is interviewing
the business men of the city and says
that a number have purchased stock
as well as a number of prominent
men of Seattle.—Ketchikan Times.
“POLLY OF THE CIRCUS”
AT EMPRESS TOMORROW
“Polly of the Circus,” Margaret
Mayo’s world-famed classic of the
“Big Tops” and now converted from
the celebrated play into a tremendous
plioto-spectacle, comes to the Empress
theatre Friday evening. After an ab
sence of almost an entire year from the
screen Mae Marsh, who won world
wide popularity in “The Birth of a
Nation” and “Intolerance,” comes
again to greet her huge throngs of ad
mirers in one of the most beautiful
and elaborate productions ever made
for the screen. “Polly of the Circus”
was directed by Charles Horan, vir
tually a newcomer among directors,
and the magnificent settings and ar
tistic details are the creation of
Everett Shinn, the noted artist.
