an agreement by whicd prices are
maintained. Again we are informed
that should a lumber manufacturer
sell an individual consumer, that
thereafter lumber dealers will not buy
from that manufacturer-in other
words, he is boycotted. That the
price Of lumber is unreaSonably, at
normally high, no one will gaInsay
and we think that some Of the trust
busters" of the state can find, in the
present condition of lumber affairs,
Il fertile field for the utilization or
their talents. No man, but n OF a
large bank account, can afford to build
Il dwelling now. He couldn't pay for
his lumber, saying nothing of the ar
chitect'S service besides other items or
expense. If there is not a lumber trust
then it borders SO closely on one, that
a silk thread One-thOusandth or an
inch in diameter would not lie be-
tween the Lumber Association and
our statutes definition OF a trust. We
understand that at a meeting of the
! Lumber Association held this week in
New Orleans that the Association be-
came so righteous that 1T called upon
the Attorney-Genera of this state to
investigate the association to ascertain
whether or not the organization came
within the purview of the trust law.
At the same time the association
raised 81, 500 to defend themselves
against the investigation which they
themselves had demanded. Beware OF
the woman that prates about her vir-
tue and asks to have it investigated.
If the Acknowledgement will get
real busy about this matter we be be-
lieve that he will find that there is a
terribly offensive odor coming down
the creek which is but the effluvia
eliminating from dead competition.

We have heard much complaint
this week about the school children
being unable to obtain books. This
should not be the case. 1t works no
little inconvenience to the teachers
and the pupils. 1t is known what
books are to be used and it is the
duty of the state depository to
see that they are here and we feel
sure that if the matter is brought to
to the attention Of State Superin-
tendent Powers, that those who have
agreed to handle the books for the
state will lie called t, account.
Certainly there is derelictiOn upon
the part of somebody. There can be
no excuse for such a meager supply of
the necessary books.
