THE TOWN GOSSIP
Workers In West Cheer Wilson's
Words When He Explains
Some Reasons for High
Living Costs.
By Mount Clemens News Bureau.
On Floard President Wilson's Spec*
ial Train.—A new note of approval is
now discernahle among the cheers of
the thousands of Americans who greet
President Wilson wherever he stops
on his journey through the country.
He has become the outstanding proph-
et of the workers; they believe, as
well as the leader of the world's as-
pirations, in permanent peace.
His address before the Minnesota
legislature in St. Paul struck a "high
hopeful note for those who toil
with their bands, and in that city, in
Minneapolis and again in Bismarck,
labor bas let him know its apprecia-
tion Mr. Wilson's talk to the legis-
lators had to do with the high cost
of living, but the relations between
the workers and the employers wan
his central subject "We are face to
face," he said, "with a great indus
trial problem, the relations between
those who employ and those who are
employed. The working men of the
world are dissatisfied with their re-
lations to their employers There
are some exceptions, mostly in this
country. The situation is more acute
on the other side of the waters
We Must Set Standard
"The world is looking to us to set
a standard and we have got to have
a constructive program that will be
followed all over the world. The in-
terests of capital and labor are the
same. We can no longer regard la-
bor as a commodity, but must regard
it as an association of physical skill
and vigor. With the enterprise of
those who represent capital you of
organized labor have limited the
amount of work you hnve done and
have driven bard bargains because
you don't fool that you are partners.
When you do, production will go for-
ward by leaps anil bounds."
Tremendous apri'-uise greeted these
leniarks as the president made them, j
and those who read them later joined :
heartily in approval There must he j
discus -ions between employers and j
employed, the president said, and his j
intirhiition see-red to be that the pro j
ducers must receive a larger share j
of the profits from what they produce.
Mr Wilson has said that the inter
national labor conference arranged
for by the world's state .men in Paris
will take place in Washington next
month, whether the pea<-e treaty with
the league of nations is ratified by
America or not, and it is understood
that he lias provided that America
lias a formal share in the proceedings
and will be one of the leading figures
in it. Workers in this section believe j
he will be strong in his advocacy of j
their cause.
High Cost of Living
The president gave the Minnesota
legislature several reasons for the
high cost or living. Man power, he
said, had been sacrificed on the battle
field All the processes of production,
except for war purposes, had been
slackened or stopped, nearly all en-
e-gy had been along channels not
suited to normal needs. Labor must
be redistributed so that it may pro-
duce what people need to eat and
wear and for purposes of peace.
Back of all this Is the fact, that we
have not learned what the basis of
peace is to be, The world will not j
settle down until it knows what part
the United States is to play in the
peace, Mr. Wilson said. He explained
that we must get back to normal pro
ceises of manufacture and distribution
Our own railways and terminal porta
cannot now handle even our Own
business, he saUJ. >ut we must handle
not only that but assist In increasing
the manufacturing and distributing
functions of the world. Cold storage
systems must be looked into as the
cause of high prices here, the presi-
dent said, but other sorts of storage
as well. He said some persons had
found It impossible to "dole out goods"
so that they were not released fast
enough to bring prices down, and
Uiis condition should be closely scru
ttnired
Splendid •military parades and great
outpourings' of rfti*ens greeted Me
Wilson in St. Paul and Minneapolis,
and t'he heartiest sort of a Welcome
was given him when he reached Bis-
marck.
I'VE GOT to have.
• * *
A TOOTH filled.
* * *
OR SOMETHING done to it.
* * •
BEFORE LONG.

AND IT worries me.

AND WHENEVER I think.

ABOUT GOING to see.
♦ * *
DR METCALF about it.

IT MAKES me nervous.

AND DOC'S got a trick.
* * *
THAT HE works on me.
♦ * ♦
WHENEVER I go up.

TO HAVE some work done.

AND I don't like it.

AND IT gets me.

ALL FLUSTRATED.

AND HE'LL tell me.

TO OPEN my mouth.

"REAL WIDE".

AND I'LL do it.

IN A casual way.

AND I try my best.
* * *
TO ANSWER him.

AND CAN'T do it.
* *
AND IT makes me mad.

TO SEE him again.

I'M GOING to arrange a plan.

SO I can kick him.

IN THE shins.

WHENEVER HE.

SAYS SOMETHING.

AND I can't answer.

SO HE can remove his tools.

I THANK you.

Great Conflict of the Future Will Be
Between England and America
By GENERAL VON BERNHARDT, German War Writer
The next great con flirt will be between America and England. I am
not saying that with the idea to create distrust between those two powers,
but 1 am stating it as a student of wars.
The same clashes of interests, a similar rivalry on the sea and in trade
to that which prevailed between England and Germany and made it pos-
sible to foresee the coming of that conflict, point inexorably to a struggle
between what are now the two greatest powers in the world.
How soon it will come or what form it will take I am not prepared
to venture an opinion. It may not be even the first war to come, but it
will be the great conflict of the future.
The league of nations will not prevent wars on issues and principles
vital to a comitry and a people. It is a question of might and power. The
domination of such a league will rest with the greatest number of guns
and rifles and other resources potential or active. Its future, if it has a
future, will depend on just how long England and America can agree in
their control of the league; in other words, how long, with their clashing
interests, they will get along together.
The league is an Anglo-Saxon affair and will last only as long as there
is Anglo-Saxon unity.
