It may be argued, of course, and with good reason, that the devastated cities and wasted fields of Europe will hAve to be rebuilt and restored, and that such conditions will lead to the full employment of the millions of n i i 1 1 aa Saturday, Dec. 16, 1916. ; Te "Cost of High Iitfo "If the American people were not ' so much given to luxuries and luxuri ous habits," said an Ashevill mer .,.nt a Tha Citizen yesterday." the solution of the problem of living in an era ' of high prices could be easily solved.". The Cltlsen . believes .that there is a world of truth, in the fore going expression. While, of course, It ! not new. but little consideration has been given' to this phase of the , probleuv The late James J HIU, whose nam was one to conjure with ia the railway world, and ! who ; amassed millions, ' gave' utterance on several occasions, to( similar thought, and we doubt, not that his diagnosis covers the Hold more than any other, . , , The tidal wave of prosperity where in Americana are rolling has created a greater love for luxuries than this country ha sver known.. Everybody must "keep up with tie Smiths' and money that comes easily goes oat still more easily In order to keep the pace. All classes" of American fami lies have cultivated the habit to such degree a to have brought about a demand which the supply could not meethence the soaring of prices. If Brown gets an automobile, his neigh bor across the street must get one; If Mlas Pert gets a new set of furs. Miss Puff goes her one better, Mrs. Bow son Lot gets a new oriental, rug, and Mrs- Nolftt keeps the pavements hot next day finding one to beat it, Bo It Is everywhere, Keibody is satisfied. Everybody want the host and cares not hew much he or she pay for it Ten or fifteen years ago steak one a day was considered a sufficient sup ply of meat for tha family, but now adays John must have his good, thick. Juicy porterhouse steak, or Its equiva lent three times a day The man on a salary tries to keep .pace with the fortunate individual, who hS exten sive funds out on good interest, and the result is he is always "strapped." But there is another result. Ask the grocer, the butcher, the baker and the draper how the' growth ef luxurious habits has affected them. It ha brought them, long credit and , bad debts, and there has been so rasch ef the latter that people who do pay their hills have had to make up the . shortage by paring ; Increased prices for what they eonsume. So, when' the public gets a return - of common sens and pulls down the cost of high living, tt may be near the solution of a problem in connection with which much good breath has been expended to no purpose.

I wish to commend your editorial of vecerauer l relating to the German peace proposal, v There has occurred in England an event that oonstitutss the handwriting on the wall and the death knell to German Imperialism and militarism; an event not unlike the recent re-election of Woodrow W11-' son president of the IT. 9. The eleva tion of Lloyd George to a position not anllko that of the president of the United States by Great Britain has announced to the world that England has at last conceded that the principle of American democracy is the true prinoiple of advanced civilisation and conceded the right to lead is no longer based on family heritage, but on man ly character, merit and worth and not on accumulated wealth wrung from labor's brow. It shows that tha rlsht to rule also rests on honest Intelligent labor, effort and that leadership can come from humble birth 4f there be such a thing as humble birth, as life Is given by God to man and that man can oomo from the toiling masaee with soual ability as from the favored clamesv -'.-. This steo by England has drawn to Great Britain the respeet. love, trust and confidence of the toiling masses tnrougnout tns earth, as tns principle. Germany's peace Proposal. ', (Charleston News and Courier ) The possibility that Germany would conquer ths nations of the entente van ished long ago. It disappeared on the banks of the Marne. What the allies have really been trying to. do sines then was to prevent Germany from cempelllns a oeaca which wnnM ruil her dominant ia Europe within a com paratively abort time after the ending 01 me war,, is ths peace which Ger many now proposes -such a peaee as that T Would it mean that after the lapse Of a few years more Germany wonia o aoie to dominate Europe. That la the great question whtah the German peace proposal immediately raises. . Ths terms are not vet -known in detail at this writing, but it Is re ported that tbey propose a return to the status quo ant with the exception of the German-made kingdom of Po land which la to remain: that Belgium and Trance be evacuated, that the Ger man ooioniea conquered by the allies bs restored, and that the settlement of the complex Balkan problem Pf left to .the peace conference. ..- This may or may not "be an accurate general Outline: but It is certain, of course, that acceptance of any plan which Germany would put forward at this time would leave Germany and the German empire Intact. Tha extraordi narily advantageoue etrsteglo position to which she owes so much In this war would b still further Improved by the establishment of the proposed kingdom of Poland. All the conditions would be favorable to the rapid in crease of her strength during the next decade, v Franc .cannot hops during that period to arrow in crosoarltv and powsr as rapidly as Germany.

' . ' , There would be. it seems. Just two ways of preventing that consumma tion. Ons would be the conversion of Great Brltan into a tremendous ill tarism built on the German pattern, f he other wpuld be the complete refor mation of International politics through the establishment and successful oper ation of the principles embodied ia the international league to enforce peace. The former alternative la inconceiv able. The latter-might possibly work. If In international league to. enforce peace could be formed and 'Operated the peace which Germany proposes might be a permanent peace and not a mere truce. But - whether such a league Is feasible is, of course, a ques tion, and who can say that It Is the duty of England and France to staks their future existence on the possi bility that it la feasible T "These are fundamental considera tions to be taken into account in a disinterested appraisal of the German proposal. They may not play the chief part in the European mind. The Ger man terms as reported indicate the abandonment for the present, at any rats, of Germany's schemes of con quest ths. abandonment of her Con stantinople dream, if not for all time, at least tor years to coma. Will Rus sia agree to that! On the other hand, one must not lose stent of ths fact that neonles weary of war and dis appointed by reverses, as tns peoples af rranca ana Britain are. wm natur ally be tempted to think less of ths future than of the present There may well be other considerations more po tent In Frsnce now than the longing for Alsace-Lorraine. As for England, ually drawing ths respect of the toll-the peaoe prosposed by Germany would Ing masses of this nation to Woodrow ! leave the British empire absolutely in Wllson and ths principles -of, true'tact The statesman may look ahead democracy in this nation. No steo that Great Britain could have taken would have so quickly caused Germany to appeal for peaee as the elevation of Lloyd George.. And I agree with The Cltlsen that for England and her allies to accept any kind of peace offer from Germany save that of a conquered and forever destroyed imperialism support ed by the mailed hand of militarism, would be aa Indefinite delay ef a world peace. - For there ean be : no peace. world-wide and world universal as long as there Is one nation left whose people shall submit to government or king rule by the right of family herit age void of the foundation principles of merit born of : character, efforts, deeds and tried and tested ability, - The language in - which Germany's peace proposition is oouohed ta without soul: purely an effort to avoid the re sponsibility of precipitating the most cruel snd destructive war known in the history of the world. It ha come too late. In the very ranks of the, German population ia a growing rebel lion against militarism and imperial ism. And Lloyd George has shown a wisdom beyond his years in selecting a council of men in sympathy wttn democratic principles- Mr. Balfour has been a life-long democrat and it is a pity that ths grand old man, Mr. Gladstone, did not. live to see Great Britain and perceive that this peace would laava Germany free to become hi few . years a far more formidable menace to British and the empire than aver. But will the people look aneaa In this manner T And if they do, is it not possibls that they will prefer to taks tne onancs rawer ww wnunui a struggle seemingly of doubtful issue and - certainly enormously costly In lives and treasurer Perhaps this Is ths question upon which evervthina- hinges. .The Gar man peaoe proposal seems to be prim arily an effort to satisfy the British people, to Induce them to put aside the sword, Tne newe irom -juniana w the next few days will be of incalcu lable Importance. It will decide ths course of history and shape the civili sation of ths future. , ' -' Where tb "Profound Ignorance la : (Norfolk Virginian-Pilot)' Noting that a democratic secre tary of agriculture' haa expressed the hope that the farmer wtu revise more heap, the New York Herald te moved to remark that tUa "would seem to Indicate profound ignorance of tth fact that a democratic eongrea put wool on the free list." 1 A democratic congress put wool on lined up .with ths principles i the free Kt under the Wilson bill in of a liberal democracy.
