DEAD-BEATs AND HIGH PRICES

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
A witness before the senate COM
mittee which is investigating the cost
of living argued that dead-beats were
largely responsible for the high
prices. "a great many customers
fail to pay their accounts said the
witness, who was a retail grocer.
THE dealers are thus forced to
charge their losses in that respect
to those who are good pay on pay
day or who settle for cash.
That argument would be good if
the dead-beat were a recent institu-
ton. But he is not. He has been
doing the same things, through high
prices or low, from the remotest
periods of antiquity that he is doing
today He may be regarded as a
fixed charge, an inevitable abate-
ment, a constant force, a necessary
evil. He is to the business world
what friction is to mechanics-a
thing that cannot conceivably be got
rid of-an obstacle that has always
existed
AS we'll dream of inventing perpet-
ual motion as of conducting a retail
business without due allowance for
the dead-beats. AS well dream that
perpetual motion once existed as to
suggest that there ever was a time
when the dead-beat was not a factor
in human affairs. 1t is therefore
obvious that, no matter what may
have caused the recent rise in prices,
the dead-beat had no more to do
with it than any other ancient insti-
tuition which has been functioning
quietly through the centuries. He
is constant factor in prices-not a
novel or extremely variable quantity.

From the Triton Gazette.
Rumor says Mr.. McLendon con-
templates going before the people
OF the state for vindication. The
Gazette was not a supporter of Mr..
McLendon, and while it has deeply
sympathized with him in his wrongs
has never ardently admired him.
Therefore, it is not in a position to
give him political advice. If it was

PAINTING "sMOKE" ON MEAT.

We see it stated that a new and
novel method of smoking meat with
a paint brush) is in use, and know
ing that a great many things these
days are not what they seem We
are prepared to accept it without
question. Smoke essence" and a
brush do the trick in no time, and a
beautifully smoked ham is the re-
suit. The essence is apparently put
up in cans like any other paint, and
consists of a mixture of creosote,
aniline dye and iron. Anything can
be smoked" with it-fsh, ham,
tongue, bacon-and it is said to be
harmless, and the resulting product
indistinguishable from the real thing.
Sophistication being the order of
the day all the consumer can ask is
that he shan't be poisoned.

A valued patron of The News
dropped in last Saturday morning,
planked down five-spot and request
ed that the date of his subscription
be moved up to 1915. The News,
perhaps, has as appreciative list
of subscribers as any paper in the
state, but not all of them have paid
five years in advance by any means.
The fact is we have had some who
were five years in arrears, but we
sometime ago learned better than to
bother with that kind.

to note the look of surprise on the

he stopped his paper.

either-that old gentleman will turn
up his toes. His heart will be stilled

Busting a Trust.
From the Macon Telegraph

FROM the Macon Telegraph.
The sixty-day boycott of meat in
Cleveland, Ohio, is at an end. When
the boycott began the price of beef
was 9 cents Wholesale; today it is 7
to z cents. Hogs jumped from 9
to IL cents. Eggs fell from SO to
II cents, and butter is 33 cents. a
fall of nickel. Potatoes are 10
cents bushel lower. 1t is said that
few of the boycotters kept their
pledges. Whether this is true or not
there is no such word as fail in the
lexicon OF the meat trust.

THE MASSACHUSETTS STRAW

If the result will serve to
convince the republican leaders
at Washington that something
must be speedily accomplished
in the way of lowering the cost
of living l shall feel that my de-
feat has not been without val
ue.-William R. Buchanan.
Mr.. Buchanan is the republican
who has just met his downfall at
the hands of the people of Massa-
chusetts. He was a candidate for
in a district which was
overwhelmingly republican.
The successful candidate, Mr.. Foss,
who seems to be a political hybrid
having in recent years been both a
republican and democrat, says:
The result shows demand
by the people that the republican
party fulfill its pledges for an
honest reduction of the tariff.
1T is a demand for the imme-
date repeal of section of the
Payne-Aldrich act, which substi-
tutes retaliation for reciprocity
and threatens commercial war
fare with out best customers"
The Savannah Press recalls the
fact that after the Mckinley tariff bill
was passed in 1890 there was a ire
mendous revuls;on of public senti
ment. The republicans not only los
the house, but Mr.. Crisp was elected
speaker, and two years later Grover
Cleveland was elected president. The
Mckinley bill did it. We see now
what the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill
may do in 1910 and 1912.

A railroad commission should be
Ike court, free to do what it thinks
to be just. 1t shouldn't be domi-
mated by political considerations of
any kind. 1t should be taken en-
tirely out of politics. Therefore, the
legislature at it's approaching SEES
sion should pass Senator Twins bill
to amend the railroad commission
law so as to make the commission
Independent of the governor. 1t will
be impossible to keep the railroads
out of politics if they are made sub
ject to a tribunal that is dominated
by politics.
