confidence in the wrong hole. State
Press Is as powerless to bring down
pri es as anyone. Doubt ft those w ho
will, but i» is the truth If State
Press could bring down prices with
a few flourishes of his pen, he would
’certainly do It, and It wouldn't be
from motives of altruism solely,
»ither. But what can one poor person
do against a nationwide condition?
The high cost of living, some peo-
ple seem to think, Is to be laid at
the doors of a few conscienceless pro-
fiteers and manipulators; and all that
- be ili.i e Is for some valiant
.ndiviuual to go forth and slay these
fountain beads of evil, and forthwith
■ all will be well. But the problem is
not so easy High prices are the
economic results of an economic
cause and to remove the former you
have to remove the latter. The high
cost of living Is due to several factors
—among them being limited produc-
tion and inflation of credit. When we
produce more and catch up to some
extent with the demand, prices will
decline probably, especially if the
banks concurrently begin to take
gradual steps toward reducing loans.
There Is a possibility that the high
cost of living may come down slowly
and without creating a great deal of
disturbance in the commerctn? and
financial centers of the country. But
this is merely a possibility. The prob-
ability is that when prices do get
ready to fall they will fall with a
crash. And things may be worse then
than they are now. Who knows?—

When John D. Wore Father’s Clothe*
In his younger days Mr. Rockefel-
ler’s clothes were a trial to his
friends, and a story has been toIcTof
how one of them once made an effort
to get the multi-millionaire to mend
ills ways in this respect.
“I am not shabby,” mildly objected
the budding millionaire.
“Yes, you are,” retorted his friend.
“Think of your father, and what a
neatly dressed man he always was!”
At this Mr. Rockefeller smiled,
“Why," said he, “this is a suit of my
father's I've got on now!”
