nations Is interference"
Interference" Is the pubIic's at
tempt at self-defense. Sometimes 1t is
effective and wise. Sometimes it is
ineffective or even hurtful. But 1t is
the result of conditions which do not
cure themselves, and no complaint
ignoring this basic fact deserves or
will win respect.
II a large part Of the thought and
emotion and organization and propa-
ganda that go into this opposition to
interference" were directed by the
business and financial fraternity to
the candid and public spirited recogni-
ton OF existing evils and injustices
and a vigorous campaign to cure them
by private influence and individual dis
cipline, interference would be less
frequent on the part of the public.
On this point listen to James j.
Hill, one Of the great constructive men
Of this day and generation in America:
There would be little need for blue

were bound by a code, moral and legal,
to stamp out not only the obviously

reference but he is broad-minded
enough and far-sighted enough to put
the primary responsibility for inter
ference where it belongs. namely up
on the conditions which public interest
cannot tolerate and which private con-
science has not effectively attempted
to check.
The blue sky laws. to use this par
ticuIar example of interference"
doubtless include some crude examples
of legislation. But they are at worst
no more hurtful than the disgraceful

Of banking, Of. transportation have
this philippe as a standing feature
of their banquets and meetings. Be-
sides these Volleys a scattering Hre
is kept UP in the form Of frequent In
iterviews and public statements by
captains Of industry and princes of
finance.
Why does all : this hortation fail
somehow Of the overwhelming effect
which might be expected of so much
force and eloquence? Perhaps what
has happened the last few days in
Chicago, if it were prayerfully con-
sidered would give a hint.
We have had first a broadside from
speakers at the Investment Bankers
convention directed at Crude pater-
nalistic interference with business"
Almost every speaker held UP this
side Of the shield. Among h ex-
amples Of interference" most yigor-
ously attacked are the blue sky
laws"
The impression left upon the public
mind by all this criticism is that the
speakers assumed or would have us
assume that 'eblue sky laws" and other
forms OF interference with business"
are the unprovoked and ma1evolent in

This view or implication does not
appeal to the average man for the
very good reason that it is SO gro

make the average man feel that the
critics are either insincere or SO bias

"Then there is the fatigue of those
who sell. These are not only the girls
we see, pale-faced behind counters,
selling goods to a thoughtless public
at the last moment, but that horde of
girls who are rolling up packages in
the packing rooms, who work twelve
or fourteen hours a day in this mad
orgy of eleventh-hour buying. All
these people are pressed into service
for d few weeks a year becauss Of
this riot of hasty buying with which

THE third in the trinity OF needless

the woman who makes at home; the
woman who must buy a great deal on
a very little money, the q house

burden Of all the unnecessary part OF
each individual little Christmas sacri-

out the country, the woman who is GO
ing to be finishing Christmas presents
and tying Christmas bundles until late
on Christmas eve, who is going to be
too tired on Christmas morning to en-
joy the JOY Of her own children.
With each individual one of us
rests the responsibilities of seeing
how many victims to this Christmas
madness there are going to be; how
many housemothers too tired to en-
Joy their own Christmas rnerrynnak-
ings, how many overworked girls and
women in factory and in store. We
must not only do our Christmas buy
ing early, We must also do our Christ
mas buying sensibly and our Christ

which follows:
Looking into this Christmas throng
that is now gathering, and which will
gather ven more and more densely
up to 10 o'clock Christmas eve, it
seems to resolve itself into a trinity
of needless fatigue.
First, the fatigue of those who
make. Nobody knows beforehand
exactly how the taste Of people is go
ing to jump, and so, after samples
have been sent out and orders have
come i'm, the girls In the manufacture
ing places begin to work. They work
in shifts; they work overtime. Some
make a little extra money, and some
only hold down their Jobs according

WAS VIOLENT

Naples, Dec. 1S.-Signor Catapano,
counsel for the defense in the case Of
Peter Charlton, the American now
awaiting trial for the murder of his
wife. asked the court at Como for an
calculation Of the charge on which the
prisoner is to be tried. Counsel re-
quested that four alienists in New
York on his arrival from Italy, be in
t~errogated as to his mental condition.
Stgnor Catapano also asked that the
court take the testimony of eight
American citizens with regard to the
alleged violent character Of Mrs.
Charlton, who was Mary Crittenden
Scott Of San Francisco.
The judge at Como complied by
transmitting counsel's request to the
court Of appeals at Milan, which on
giving its definite consent. will ask
that the Interrogation be made
through diplomatic channels. =,
After Jan. l, the new penal code
goes into effect, and counsel will be
allowed to visit Charlton during the
period of Investigation.

Laissez faire still saturates the
thought of the average business man
or banker. He is not his brothers
keeper. Well, then, his brother must
try to be his own keeper. He may in
jure himself and every n else in the
attempt, but he is being injured any
way and he must and will try to pro-
tect himself.
Mr.. Hills striking analysis Of the
deterioration Of the bond is an indict-
ment Of the agencies which for the
sake of the immediate selfish profits
of fotation has distributed IMPROVE

intelligence and to its demands to be
freed from "interference."

Y. M. C.. A. BOYS
DEPARTMENT NOTES

The boys rooms are decorated in
accordance with the Christmas season.
A large number Of votes are being
polled in the primary election for the
Bachelor of Ugliness degree. The fell
low who receives the largest number
Of votes in this election will represent
the boys department in the big New
Years festival. There will be four
candidates in the field, one from the
boys department, one from the mems
gym class, n from the dormitory,
and one from the night school and gas
tractor class. The boys department
are planning a big campaign and I'M
der the guidance of their strong
political leader, Chas. Dawson, the
boys will put up a good run. The
polls in the present election will be
closed Friday night at $50 p. M, votes
counted and candidate announced,
John Hansel, president of Fargo col
Iege. will be the speaker at the boys
meeting on Sunday afternoon at 4 p.
IN. He will speak on Christmas Spirit
and all boys of the city, whether mem
bers of the association or not, are
invited to these meetings. Mr.. Han
sci was at n time president II the
Y. M. G.. A. training school at Chicago
and he will prove very interesting to
the fellows who heal him. The Y
boys orchestra will be on hand to help
make the meeting a live one.
There will be no Bible class for the
D. B. C. boys On Friday night because
the greater number of the fellows are
going home for the Christmas vaca-
ton. The next meeting will be two
weeks from Friday night.
The Employed Boys class still con-
tinues to grow and q good attendance
is recorded each week. The teams are
very evenly divided in attendance,
with the exception Of the Pirates. The
fellows who are members Of the group
will have to wake up and get q hustle
or they will oon find themselves far
in the dust. The booster spirit" ex-
lists in this class and they will I'M
doubtedly give a better report within
the next week. .
