Not even a prominent citizen can kill a man there now without making some er hold the house the supply of dwellings is equal to the demand, and",there is a surplus, rents will be reduced. This probably will enable wage adjustments in' some lines. In natural course there will be mgdnetiom on a variety of articles of daily use and labor costs will be taken into account in making the changes. But we are confident living costs are today much higher than volunteered data indicates and that they will never be comparable to what they were before the World war. Comforts, conveniences and luxuries that were unobtainable by*wage--earnerrs a decade ago are possessed by practically all thmnowandmtofthanhavecometoberegardedas necessities. Living no longer is fully comprised in the three main necessaries of life, shelter, food and clothing. If they eould get along without the amusements and recreational devices to which they have become habituated in a time of ultra--prosperity, the people simply will not. The new accessories of civilized life, automobiles included, will have to be taken into account in intemizing the cost of living on which the sufficiency of wages may be rated. These will not admit of much reduction in the pay envelope. | We have not lately seen a household budget compiled by a social settléement worker, a committee concerned for estab-- lishing a minimum wage rate for workers of various kinds}# or any other' volunteer official agencies such as a few years ago were familiar.

They are now 119 points above the 1914 figure, while the cost of living is only 68 points higher. This makes the basis for an assertion that wages must be reduced and prediction that they will come down materially in the next 15 years. * is innocent then he should be exonerated.

He had stepped from his church office to play politics. The quarrel which resulted in the murder in Texas grew out of a local political squabble which in turn was traced back to a land deal. No religious question or public morals were invoived in the controversy--and it is evident the minister voluntarily in-- terjected himself into the dispute.
