1t may be, says the indianapolis

ans. in Louisville, regarding employ
ers' liability will affect also the en-
forcement of the pure food and the
meat inspection statutes. These rest
for coercive power upon the interstate
commerce clause The whole ques-
ton. of course, will go TO the supreme
court. But it may sustain the ruling
We should, however, remind ourselves
that we have state governments to in
sure pure food and various kinds of
things.
If state governments are inefficient.
then the whole question is, to use the
slang phrase, up to us. We must have
protection against acknowledged ills
somewhere, somehow, or we have no
adequate government. The question
could not be raised at a better time
For we believe the people were never
more determined to have a govern
ment of law and to see that law is
obeyed than now.
We are coming back to the notion
that after all the best thing in the
world is a man, and that in these times
of complicated social machinery the in

protected.

will also take effort

Secretary Shaw Tells Students Is
Has No Bargain Counters.
Secretary Shaw of the treasury de-
partment, according TO the Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald,
has written a letter to Professor Bar
ney Mcdaniel of the Lafayette County
High school, Altamont, Kan, in which
he says:
Il am In receipt of your letter asking
for your pupils as New Years senti-
ment what I consider the essentials of
success in business.
ANY boy in your school can answer
that question as well as l. They ali
know the price of success. though the
majority will refuse to buy at par.
Unfortunately, however, there are no
bargain counters or opportunities for
payment in advance. 1t is sold to all on
the installment plan, under broad and
exacting forfeiture provisions. Pay
ments must be made every day, and a
single default frequently terminates
the contract and precludes all possibili-
ty of reinstatement"
