C., THURSDA^^ARCH 14. 1935 LITTLE ALYCE The itory of little Alyce McHenry, now a ^tient in a Fall River, Mass.', hospital, has touched the_ heart of the whole country. Prom every section thousands of letters, telegrams,' and gifts have poured in for the child, her mail being so heavy for several days that it required the usei of a mail truck to make the= deliveries. Little Alyce underwent one of the most difficult and dangerous oper ations in*the Jristofy of medical sci ence when she had her inverted stom ach put back an its proper place by skilled surgeons. As she was wheeled into the operating room • she . went with a smile on her face, a song and prayer on her lips, and with a courage and faith that overnight gave to her the title of “Little Sunshine” tl^rough- out the nation. By her side was her heavy-hearted mother who knelt beside bed in prayer that her chHd ht be spared, and now that the e^girl is convalesdng and her con- ditionXieported by her physicians as encoura^g, this mother has. contin ued each dky to bow in simple prayer for the recovery of the one so dear to her. Little Aiyce, with indomitable courage, remains bright and cheerful and hopeful, an inspiration to her nurses and physicians.^s^e case has aroused a profound inter^t and sym- athy among thousands whVare hop ing, and praying for her recov re is nothing so sweet and beau tiful the-Xaith-of a little child. WHAl' IS INFLATION We make^t the slightest pretense of being a finajaflial or economic ex pert. But we heaXso much talk about “inflation” that wexhave gone to some trouble to find out Vhat the talk all means. As nearly as we can i^ke out, “an; flation” means putting t^ value of money down by comparisonNwith the things that money will buy.does not necessarily mean printing w’ith nothing back of it, as Ge did, nor the free and unlimited age of silver, though that, too, woul be inflationary. It means any artificial proems of sending prices up. Well, it apiH.*ars that we have been gradually going through a process of inflation for a couple of years now, whether we know it or not. The deval- uatipn-of the gold dollar, the forcing up of farm prices, the addition of sil- \’er to our monetary system, the in crease of bank credits through enor mous Goveinniont 'l)orrowings—all of these are part of the process of in- everybody . ia , feeling the sake oY our children.

This can aniy unde sirable injecting of / tbdXyhole ques tion into politics and we hfigy know what to expect. The license mislea.ding.'Its advocates tell us that the holding of the license will bdxin- strumental in apprehending bootleg-' gers and “turning them up” and that thereby those who hold licenses will become law enforcement officers. It is absurd to take the position of de pending'^ Upon liquor dealers, who us ually themselves become law violators, to become enforcement agencies. Our sheriffs and various officers are the forces trharged with the‘enforcement of the laws and this responsibility should not 'be delegated to any certain class of private citizens. Those who go into the liquor busi ness do so for the rnoney to be de- rtl^ed from the gqihe. "^ere is no other reason under the shining sun than can be advanced for their en gaging in the traffic. They are in it for the revenue, and only revenue, and the methods are of minor impor tance.

It is a mistake to believe that the men who rise to the top in great af fairs do so by chioanery and dishon esty. It is one of the commonest of errors to think that a man achieves success without working harder and more faithfully at whatever task he has in hand than do the lazy and en vious around him.

S€A the effectvS of it in rising prices of things they buy, though not all have yet felt the inflationary effect upon their incomes. The next step, the so- called'experts tell us, will come about through the centralization of banking and credit control. Our expert adviser pointed out that the ones who benefit are those who have property of any kind bought at the pre-inflalionary price, which* they can sell in ternis of the cheaper dol lars. .-Mso those who owe money in dollar debts, who will get money-with which to pay more cheaply than ‘they can flow, ThaX sounded reasonable to us. 1C* inflation puts up the price of hogs or cotton, or of a day’.s w’ork, the man with a mortgage or a note in a bank or elsewhere won’t haVe to sell as many hogs or as much cotton, oii do as much work to pay* off his debt. That’s about all we know about in flation, it’s 'too big a question for us. We might add, however, that the folks who^know more about it than we do say it’s going a lot farther in the near future.
