THE VOICE OF LINCOLN DOWN THE AGES?"I always feel inclined, when I happen to say anything to soldiers, to impress upon them the importance of success in this contest. It is not merely for today, but for all time to come, that we should perpetuate for our children's children that great nnd free government which we have enjoyed all our lives. . . . Still, let Us not be over sanguine of a speedy, final triumph. Let us be quite sober. Let us diligently apply the means, never doubting that a just God, In His own good time, will give us the rightful result."

Spectator went on a far journey last week, as my readers know. And he went into a far country. This is! a big country, truly.

The one distinction a town might I have would be a clean avenue enI tcring the corporate limits. In this respect Columbia is most inviting approach from all directions.

The war may msv*? many useful purposes, one of the most useful being the simplifying of our mode of living. Let us learn to walk, to drink water occasionally, to dress sensibly and economically, to spend a few evenings at homd with books, instead of , hejAllines, to eaL plain food, to take the frj 11m out of schools and roller, s * and dedicate them to serious work. ; Let's stop being so soft, self-indulgent, Indolent and extravagant. Why worry about inflation? What is inflation, by the way ? If a government prints paper money, without limit, all prices will go sky-high. Or if a government issues floods of money without propel- redeemable value, or without a backing of something of real intrinsic value, people will lose faith in the value of the money and raise prices. But wo are not in danger of that. What is the danger? That our prices will rise from the desire to reap fortunes and heavy profits; or because till the items of cost rise. Wages have risen enormously and that has compelled some price advances. Our government should have taken some Interest in swollen wages, instead of trying to curb the farmers. All in fact should have been held in check, but equally and fairly. Jlut now the whole matter is simple: Jet the government ration all articles. as ii is doing with tires; then fix the price. Wo need not look, scholarly and ralk in abstruse terms or recondite concepts: the problem is clear and the solution is simple. What we need is decision.
