The cost of living cannot fail to cotne down appreciably. and this will ease the workers' lot. paving the way for whatever re- i duct ions in wag>-s may he absolutely I i lie. essary by and by. The fact that i our chief industrial competitor in foreign markets, (treat Britain, is , going on a universal 48-hour week I at a high wage level, is of direct in1 terest to this country, since it ? 1' I uK-ans that one frequently-used :?r ^ t ' I -"lnv-nt acainst high wages here-' lias been brushed away. Altogether ( the outlook contains much that is s encouraging.' The process of petting down to v business on a peace bas.s is very naturally slow, but it is nevertheless sure. In this country we were slow to become accustomed to war ? I conditions, but when the custom once took firm hold, we sot in on a j basis of high prices and a scarcity of 'J many commodities. Now that war is ' over, the reversion to peace condl1 tions is equally slow. In time, [prices will have adjusted thornI j selves to income, and the Americar ' I people being pitted with the faculr> II 1 of forgetting quickly, business will have adjusted itself "before we know it." It is only natural that labor shall demand more as lonp as present prices ate maintained, but on a give and take basis, such as I that upon which Great H'itain lias t settled its labor troul-'es. troubles in tit's country will be few and far be t een I' TIIK liK \(IIK <>r NATIONS.

(Hock Hill Herald.) 11 Some months ago the Herald cailsd attention to the fact that the law 8f losing business places in this city ? >n Sunday was being violated by the Irug stores. The law is plain. It a' lays that drug stores may fill pre- y< icriptions on Sunday. There is no 01 jossible way in which the law can be construed to allow the sale of all ** tinds of merchandise. The writer has not made any pur hases at drug stores on Sunday and ins no personal knowledge of these dealings, but the Herald has reliable n formation to the effect that the Irug stores, some of them or all of hem, have been doing practically he same character of business on a! Sunday that is done during the week. r< rhis is a clear violation of the law (i )f the city. ^It should not be per- Sf nltted under the law, and the law ihould be enforced or repealed. The men who own the drug stores ^ n Uock Hill are representative citl- ni tens; and this newspaper is aware 'r hat some of them, at least, are dis- a " leased with the practice which has y' >een allowed to develop in regard to ^ Sunday closing. The Herald be-,01 ieves if the city authorities will un-'ai iertake to strictly enforce the Sun-i'( lay closing ordinanc they will meet'11 vith very little opposition from thej1' jroprietors of the drug stores, andi '' hat when it is known that the law 171 will be strictly and impartially en'orced. there will be an end of Sun-'f" lay merchandising in Rock Hill.
