spiel anywhere next Tuesday night?"
"Why, no, DOCTOR" answered Bos-
well, in an undertone, ''but you'll

glad rags out of hook. Gentlemen"

however, sent a second team to battle

BUSINESS MEN NEEpEp.

There should be more business sneli
In public life. This is the conclusion
reached by John Hays Hammond IN
an interview given out in New York.
"The general complaint among busl-
ness men, says Mr.. Hammond, us
that there is too much playing poll
TICS and believe there is much truth
in this view. Nevertheless, there ARE
great legislative problems vitality at
fecting industry to be solved, but 1t is
unfortunate that the solution OF these
questions is left too much to dema-
gogues or to incompetent legislators.
The moral of this is, there should be
ore$business men in public life.
There is, undoubtedly, a readjust-
ment between capital and labor tax
ing place the world over.
with respect to- the high cost OF
living IN America 7 am convinced that
we live better, according to our Amerl-
can standards of living. for less money
than the people Of other countries. At
the same time it is true that we live
higher than any other nation. For
tunately, to compensate for the in
creased cost Of the higher standard of
living. we have in this country COM
pensating higher wage.
..The genius OF modern industry lies
In the conduct of operations upon a
large scale.
..All other great commercial nations
encourage com inations of capital and
the operation of industries upon a
large scale Industrial Development
on these lines is, of course, fraught
with the danger Of monopoly, and it is
here that governmental supervision
must come In.
ssBut whatever is effected in the way
OF. great reforms must be by COM
promise, and prejudices and many
preconceived ideas must be su5ordina-
ted to the accomplishment of all great
purposes" .
