CREDIT.

In q recent address before the
national civic federation Dr. Nicho-
las Murray Butler spoke of govern
ment control Of public service cor
porations. lie seemed to think that
the problem would be solved grad
uaily and that this is well. lest We
overtopple the credit system upon
which our business rests.
Problems of grave Importance,
he said. mot only legal, but politi-
cal. in the highest sense, arise when
We attempt 10 fix the ways and
means by which the government
shall control and supervise public
! service corporations. Our constitn-
tional limitations, II political ira
ditions and past party differences,
and the complex structure Of our
whole governmental system, with
its state and national agencies, make
the problem OF governmental control
of corporations an extremely ditil-
cult one. There are those who
think they see short and easy meth
DDS of accomplishing the desired end
but my prediction is that. true to the
characteristics of our people, we
shall work out a just solution OF
these involved problems, not at one
stroke or by wholly logical process
es, but step by step, and after many
experiments, and that not for a few
unforeseen difficulties will have to
be surmounted Or circumyented,
Above all else, unless We pro-
pose 10 wreck the whole economic
basis on which ouI prosperity ana
our happiness rest, we must have a

dence which civilized man has in his

Lem Quigley who talks good cal to hisself and is turrible absent minded at times was setting outside the P. O. the other morning on a store box whiting. Eph Higgins, our accommodating P M was inside most asleep when he heard Lem talking. so Epb goes quiet to the door to see who Lem was talking to, but there wasn't anybody present so then Eph kRowed that Lem was talking to himself. so Eph he crep up leetle closer and listened. Lem was arguing with his self about the tariff and it seems he couldn't agree with his own views so he got mad at hisself and got up and jumped out into the road and begin to haul off his coat and said he'd fight, when suddenly it dawned on him that he was making a blamed fool outen hisself. so he put on his coat quick looked all around to see If anybody seen him and started home in disgust. Then Eph hollered at him and laffed as loud as he could laff. Lem kept right On home and never looked back. If you want to make Lem want to fight again jest ask him if he has made up with hisself as yet.
