How Long, Oh, How Long?

How long must the people con-
tinue to pay express companies
profit Of 40 per cent year on money
that is not invested in the express
business, and that exists in blue air
only?
This is a question that the people
desire answered, and one that they
are beginning to become impatient
about, judging from the ever-in-
creasing number of communications
n this subjec5 that are being receiv-
d by members Of Congress.
Express companies ought to be
PRINTED to make a good, liberal
rate of interest on money actually
invested" writes an Iowa man to
his Congressman. ''The thing that

can't we at least have limited par
cells post to start with, effective only
between towns and cities and the
surrounding country? Such limit
ed system would help rather than in
lure the business of the retailers.
Think it over"
The Interstate Commerce Com
noission's report shows that the net
'ncome from the express companies
,peration is S11 200, 900, and on their
own valuation of $27, 100000, their
profit is shown to be approximately
10 per cent. 1t is known that the
actual value Of the express compa-
Mes equipment is less than one-half
of what they allege, so that their
profits on money actually invested
run up to nearly 100 per CENT.

IN DEFENSE OF BOY SCOUTS

The main virtue of the organization
is not in its quasimilitary form OF or
ganization or in its military drill but
in its sllilful utilization for Give ends
of the natural craving in all normal
boys to cooperate with others. In tins
organization the boy is corraled for a
process of dciplne that unconsciously
IN most cases, develops him mentally,
morally and physically, while he thinks
that he is having good time. He Is
taught the duty of obedience and truth
telling. His powers of observation Of
nature and of discerning human pc
culiarities and eccentricities are sharp
ened He is pledged 10 and made 70
live up to ideals Of chivalry and OF
service to those in special need. He IS
given simple but fundamental lessons
in patriotism and citizenship in the
guise of homely instruction that teach
es him to side invariably with enforc-
ers rather than with breakers of law,
lesson that city youth much need to
learn.
No one who knows the moral hml-
tations and hazards encountered by the
pampered and coddled boy of suburbsa,
with his every wish gratified and notn-
ing in the way of work to do, or who
is aware of the effect upon a hov
brought up in the city tenement or
actual touch with nature. can study the
methods of this organization without
realizing that it has come at a timely
hour to give relief, and that its nike
system of outdoor and indoor discipline
is admirable.
1t is the foe of sloth, softness, over
emphasis on book learning, snobbish'
ness, impurity and aimlessness. 1t must
inevitably increase the number of men
who will love nature as friend. Its
old fashioned code of chivalry must IN
time bring about renaissance of good
manners and of Difference to women.
1t will furnish to the schools pupils
with more zest for work and a keener
desire for useful knowledge. We trust
it will lay foundations in civics upon
which school and state can build a
better fabric than in the past.-Christ-

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING

Everybody, of course, has heard
about the high cost of living, and no
body has heard of it with greater dis
gust than the honest farmer He notes
the extraordinary difference between
the prices which he receives for his
products and the prices paid by the
consumer after those products have
passed through the hands of three OF
four middlemen. 1t is small wonde er
that he asks why this condition should
be, but thus far he has not received 4
satisfactory answer.
But few days ago an interesting
attempt was made by forty farmers
who visited New York city, for the
first time in their lives, as representa-
tives of their branches of the National
Grange in New York and Pennsylvania.
They spent day exploring the metro
polls. and in that brief time accumu-
lated more information than in the pre-
v.ous year.
For instance on Madison avenue,
they paid one dollar for an undrawn
cold storage brolier of uncertain age,
which weighed a pound and half.
For these same broilers the farmers of
New York State receive twelve and Il
half cents pound, and one of the
Pennsylvania contingent said that in
his section they were selling at six
cents a pound ION the claw The
farmers bought apples from pushcart
vendor at the rate of two for five
cents, and offered to sell him all he
wanted of the same variety at So a
barrel. Butter of quality for which
they receive 26 cents they found sell
ing at retail for so cents a pound, ami
inferior grades at 80 to 40 cents.

ing farmers were quite sure that they

WHEN A BAND of citizens of Pail
sade called on the Furgasons and al.
vised them to leave town within ten
days there went up a great howl from
the Fergasons and their friends. Why,
what had they done? Surely they were
good citizens. They paid their debts,
they paid their taxes, they gave to the
poor, they did a great many good
things, and as for bootlegging, why,
they wouldn't think of such a thing.
These people who had issued the warn
ing must certainly have been mistaken.
But the best proof that these citizens
were not mistaken but knew exactly
whereof they spake is found in the
fact that the Fergusons knowing their
own guilt, acted upon the warning
within the prescribed time, and the
further fact that three wholesale liqucr
dealers of Glenwood filed suits against
their estates for liquor sold to them in
dry terr tory and sold contrary to law
and smuggled in through the process of
mis- s-labeling. Guess some of those old
Palisaders knew Just little more
than they were at first given credit
for knowing.
