EVENING CH<T
Why Exaggerate2
BY RUTH CAMERON.

An article on the servant question
was recently brought to my attention
by one of my letter friends, she, herself,
being a member of the much-discussed
class
She objected to the article because of
its tone of aloofness and superiority.
I wonder if the writers of such articles
ever realize that the problem" them
selves are just as likely to be among
their readers as the mistresses.
L recognized that objection, but what
irritated me even more about the ar
-ticle was its exaggerated pessimism 1t
was made up largely of letters from
diSgruntled mistreSses, and the author
assumed that thy represented the en-
tire community. From reading that ar
ticle a foreigner would think that it
was absolutely impossible in America
to get a girl to do general Homework
that the average American woman kept
at least two servants, paid them from
81 to $40 a week, treated them with
kindness and consideration, and still
could not keep a maid more than a few
weeks.
Now. realize that there certainly is
a servant problem in this country. I
realize that we are paying our domestic
helpers wages which are all out of pro-
portion to the wage of other workers
and money in preparation for their
work. I realize that even at this wage
good maids, and especially good girls
for general homework, are hard to get.
Nevertheless / still maintain that the
whole thing has been ridiculously ex-
aggerated.
In the first place take the statement
that the general homework girl is al
most extinct. Tommy rot! The ma
jority of NY personal acquaintance do
not keep more than one maid and al
though they have their troubles they
seem to get along fairly we'll
Take my aunt's case for example. She
lives in a small suburb Of a large East
ern city. The home is large and old
fashioned; the family has ranged from
six to two in the last ten years The
maid does all the washing except the
sheets, and yet my aunt has never had
any serious trouble in getting a general
homework girl. Nor in the last ten
years has she had a maid leave her in
dissatisfa ction, as they are represented
as doing in the comic papers. One left
to study the profession of nursing, one
to get married, one on account of ILL
ness, and one or two were dismissed
because not satisfactory.
Perhaps she has been unusually fort
innate, but on the whole I think that
her case is as near to the average as
that of the woman whom my contemp-
orary quoted who pays 81, puts out her
washing and still cannot keep maid
Elaborate comments on the servant
problem are superfluous- The trouble
is obvious. So long as the demand ex-
ceeds the supply as largely as it does
now, we will have to pay high wages
and put up with imperfect servants.
If we want to change conditions we will
have to make domestic service so at
tractive that girls will rush into it and
the supply will increase.
But in the meantime what's the use
of exaggerating matters. 1t doesn't
help any, does it?

uncomfortable way, and then one day
as Farmer Thompson was working
about his barn he was greatly surprised
to receive a call from Mr.. Harris. They
had not exchanged a word for weeks
Look here, Thompson began the

quite OFTEN selling sewing machines.

Wall, he calls at the wilder SCOTS
every time he comes this way"
He sold her a machine two years
ago said Thompson, 'and 1 wonder
why he keeps calling?"
That's what me and you have got
to find out Is he married or single?
Is 1t on business or love? Is he schem-
ing to get her farm away? Is he ready
to become a igamist? I heard that
he stayed to supper the other after
noon. What dye think of that"

son thought and calculated.

Nor me neither, though I've thrown

farmer Thompson as he bristled up.

at me, but help me do something"
What can We do?"

Animosity was buried for the nonce,
and the two men stationed themselves
on the highway and laid for the sewing
machine agent. When he came along
he was halted and asked to give an &C
count of himself or take a licking. The
bluff didn't seem to scare.
None o. your business was all
they could get out of him, and when
they reached for him he descended
from his buggy and blacked their eyes
and left them piled in a heap in fence
corner.
''Well?" queried Farmer Thompson,
as the pair finally found themselves.
"Well?" was answered.
We've been licked, and that goes
to show what a dangerous rascal he is.
We must go to the wilder and tell her
But he's stopped there. as brassy as
you please"
''Then 7-en tell her right before
him!'
But don't you go to dom no brag-

''Nor you, either"
The widow answered the knock on
the door, Seated at his ease, and
seeming quite at home, was Mr.. DaVen-
port.
'Fwfdder. we felt it our duty" be-
gan Mr. Thompson, when she inter-
rupted with:
"Sakes alive, but where are my man
ners! This is my husband, Mr.. Daven-
port"'
''But-but-"
''I drove to the village yesterday and
we were married.

road and stopped and glared at each

be benefited by prescribing a maxi
mum beyond which the trust could not
charge. As the minimum charge will
secure the trade, so the fixing of
maximum merely defines the price
beyond which the trust cannot sell.
But how does this assist the indepen-
dent? Must he not meet or reduce
this price in order to secure the bust
ness AS the competition is not de-
stroyed by the selling at a maximum
by the trust, but, on the other hand,
by underselling, so the remedy must
necessarily be the fixing of a minimum
under which the trust could not sell
rather than a maximum beyond which
it might not charge, this minimum to
be such as to afford competitors a
reasonable profit.

.TRUsT REGULATION"

There seems to be little similarity
between the power necessary to regu-
late the prices of commodities sold or
offered for sale by private corpora
tons operating under state charters
and that sustained in the so-called
trust decisions, writes Albert Fink in
the January number of The North
American Review. The principle upon
which these cases have been decided
is that the acts complained of throt-
tied competition, that free and I'M
trammeled competition was necessary
to a healthy commerce, and that any
thing which tended to embarrass the
former was a restraint of the latter.
In other words, a restraint of competi-
ton was a restraint of trade within
the inhibition of the Sherman act.
This may be conceded arguendo, but
it does not follow that the fixing of
prices of commodities would destroy
that restraint of competition which in
itself is believed a restraint of trade.
On the other hand, it would appear
that such action would entail the very
opposite effect. The regulation of the
prices of commodities does not tend
either directly or indirectly to prevent
restraint of trade. If the American
Sugar company, having a virtual
monopoly of refined sugar, is prohib%
tied by law from charging more than
q fixed price, say three cents per
pound, how does this destroy or tenS
