GOOD ROADS CONGRESS.

Twenty chiefs Of state and national
highway departments will personally
take part in discussing ways and
means Of constructing and maintain
ing highways according to every
known method and under all condi-
lions. The sessions at which these
distinguished good roads men will ap-
near Will be held under the auspices
Of the American Highway association.
which is looked upon as the national
clearing house for the organized road
movement of America.
J. E.. Penny hacker, secretary OF the
congress, in explaining the arrange
ment Of the program, called attention
to an innovation in the method OF dis
cussing the subjects that come be-
fore the congress- Heretofore" said
Mr.. Pennybacker, "the set papers
have all been read at the sessions and
not published until after the congress
had adjourned, thus making general
discussion difficult both on account OF
lack of time and inability on the part
OF the audience to give sufficient con-
sideration to the papers before entel
ing upon discussion. This year we
shall have all of the set papers print
ed in advance of the congress and
read only by title The general discus.
sion will be opened by selected spec.
ialists Of national reputation who will
be provided with copies of the pa
pers at least ten days in advance OF
the meeting. Copies Of papers will
also be distributed at the meeting so
that everybody present will have am
pie opportunity to take issue on any
OF the conclusions presented.

ABOUT SAVING BIRDS.

An amendment to the tariff bill Of
fered at the request of the Audubon
society to prohibit importations OF
aigrettes of the heron, brought forth
the following from Senator Reed:
1T seems to me unwise that with
business tied up because Of the fact
that 1t is waiting for this bill to pass,
that we should stop to discuss hum
ming birds. I wonder why we don't
stop sometimes to talk about the tens
of thousands of persons who live
along the edge of want. wonder
why we don't stop to protect the
pauper child; wonder why we can
not take little time from the song
ster of the field for the songster of
the cradle and give some thought to
the babe reared in poverty ard crime.
We would be performing better task
for humanity.
IT have more sympathy for the
people who have to pay millions for
taxes on their necessities than for
the long legged, ungainly, altogether
useless and ugly bird from which we
get aigrettes."
Senator Reed said he could make a
sympathetic appeal for the calf that
would sound like a classic beside the
appeal for the birds, "but we still
slay the calf and put him into our
stomachs.'

A stimulant is something which peo-
rle take to increase their voltage.
Some people have SO little natural vol
tage that they have to fire up on
stimulants about Ave nights week,
after which they are able to walk
home with the aid of picket fence
and ninteen telephone poles.
There are several kinds of stimu.
lants, all of which serve useful pur-
pose. For instance, the old-fashipn
stimulant known as a sound spanking
has kept more boys out Of the reform

recent efforts that nave De0H mace
to limit the right of manufacturer
to maintain the price at which, his ar
ticle should be sold to the consumer
has been inspired by a motive that is
good-the desire for free competition
but they have been misdirected. II
successful, they will result in the very
thing that they seek to curb--monop
oily. Prince-maintenance = the trade
policy by which an Individual manu-
facturer of trade-marked article IN
sures that article reaching all con
sumers at the same price instead o.
being a part of the trust movement II
one of the strongest forces OF the pro
gressive movement which favors III
dividual enterprise
There is no justification In fixing
the retail price of an article without
individuality. Such articles do not car
nv the guarantee Of value that identi
fes them with the reputation of the
man who made them.
There is no improper restraint Of
trade when an Independent manufac
turer in a competitive business set
ties the price at which the article ne
makes shall be sold to the consumer
There is dangerous restraint of trade
when prices are fixed on common
article Of trade by monopoly or com
bination of manufacturers.
The Independent manufacturer may
not arbitrarily establish the price al
which his article is to be sold to the
consumer. If he would succeed he
must adjust it to active and potent1a
competition and various other infiu
ences that are beyond his control
There is no danger of profits being
too large as long as the field OF com
petition is kept open; as long as the
Incentive to effort is preserved; anc
the opportunity of individual develop
ment is kept untrammeled. And III
any branch of trade in which such
competitive conditions exist we ma!
safely allow manufacturers to main
tain the price at which his article
may be sold to the consumer.
Our efforts, therefore, should be di
rected not to abolish price-mainte
nance by the individual competitive
manufacturer, but to abolish monop
oily, the source Of real oppression IL
fixed prices. The resolution adopted
by the National Federation of Retail
Merchants at its annual convention
draws clearly the distinction pointed
out above. The resolution declared
that the. fixing Of retail prices in AM
of itself is an aid to competition
among other reasons, because 1t pre-
vents the extension of the trust and
chain stores into fields not now occu
pied by them. But the resolution alss
expresses the united voice of the re
tailers against monopoly and against
those combinations to restrain trade
against which the Sherman law ii
specifically directed. Louis d. Bran
