It condemns Dow Jones & Co for hoping to liquidate wages and urges government to prioritize human welfare and living standards over Wall Street profits. Emphasizes reconstruction challenges and need for guaranteed employment with fair conditions.
The piece warns that success breeds aloofness and overconfidence. A once-driven leader may forget his struggles and assume rewards come without effort, risking a fall as younger rivals push ahead. Stay humble, keep an open mind, and recapture the freshness of early wins.
The piece urges a constitutional convention to revise the state constitution to meet postwar changes. It argues for decision next Tuesday, with the legislature to set delegate numbers and election method in January 1920, and delegates elected in November 1920 for a 1921 meeting to address reconstruction issues.
The passage contrasts Belgium and Serbia losing everything yet showing grit, France bleeding yet holding, Italy nearly crushed yet not surrendering, England aiming for victory, and Germany crying for mercy as the tide turned.

The column notes past cases, poor policing, and a system favoring profit over quality. A related note offers advice on personal relationships and inquiries about a brother missing in action.
The column collects humorous scraps about saving freight cars for Uncle Sam, using household items as fuel, a 15 foot beard in New Jersey, mattress ads, railway fare profits, and DIY wartime energy tips. It riffs on thrift, resourcefulness, and light satire of wartime sacrifices.
