Necessary Evll-the easest Of Pet
Phrase.

TO the Editor OF The TtMeS:
Reginald Wright Kaufman, In his
article on Necessary Evils" has this
to say: I'VE like to believe that half
loaf Is better than no bread, when
as matter Of fact It Is much worse
and shameful in the bargain. and
whenever We are confronted by
wrong that we are afraid to attack
we fold our hands and 60 to sleep
upon the comfortable doctrine OF
Necessary Evils"
Necessary Evils! That IL one Of
the basest Of all pet phrases concoct-
ed to induce the human mind to stand
still and to excuse II for standing.
The city of Detroit Ia fortunate in
deed In having q police commissioner
who does not regard the social evil
as necessary.
When q plague strikes an Oriental
city the people do not pray to Allah
to stop the plague. They believe 1t Is
a necessary evil and SO they only i'm
plore Him to move. 1t along TO the
next town. II IL quite apparent that
Detroit has been the dumping ground
for other cities and, no doubt, many
OF the inmates OF Detroit resorts will
drift to other cities and states.
This argues for nationwide move
ment under federal law, with teeth
In tan amendment to the main law:
but as long as the seat OF our general
government Is infested with this ''nec-
essary evil II will not be entirely
eradicated.
Necessary evils Is q contradiction
In terms When we learn this we will
do away with war. prostitution, child
labor and injustice"
Nothing that Is evil Is necessary.

The Socialist and Advertising.

The Socialist and Advertising.
TO the Editor Of The Tymes:
In your endeavor to create an al
vertising policy according to the Beat
itudes, you overlook one thing; you
cannot build q good, solid structure
upon weak foundation. Advertising
turns about profit, which Is wrong IN
itself. 1t Is the price we pay for
nothing.
Good things need no advertising, no
praises by clever. scheming men who
talk about everything except the
most important point In their "ads"-
the cost price. Every 'ad" 10 an en-
deavor TO catch q sucker. We want
TO know how much the tradesman
pays for his goods; !. e.. how much he
cheats US. As long az this vital point
Is lacking, no one should talk about
honest, truthful advertising.
Blessed are" various kinds Of peo-
pie, az mentioned In the Bible, but
more blessed are those who quit rob-
bling the producer and consumer by
stopping profit taking and advertising
best qualities" lowest prfces"-
the only two thoughts In every ad,
while leaving out the cost price.
We are getting tired Of being I'M
posed upon.
You are trying to be honest among
scoundrels under false system. You
say A and B: why not 20 to 2 and
advocate socialism?

Punishment Of the Wicked.

The notion that any manufacturer.
no matter how benighted and stand
pattish. Is going to shut up shop so
long as he can keep it open probably
has an intellectual breadth and an
economic truth that almost make it
worthy to walk by the side of the
theory that divers malefactors of
great wealth got up the panic Of 1907
to injure themselves by way of an
object lesson
The Robber Barons may deservs
the worst that Colonel Watterson ever
said of them, but we are scarcely
capable of biting off their noses to
spite their faces. Not even as a
testimony against the iniquity of
free traders will they close the fac
tory doors if business remains good,
or seek to grind down wages. which
would amount to the same thing.
On the other hand, if any concern
cannot do business probably under
the next tariff or cannot make money
without wage reduction. it will hardly
be scared from arranging its own
affairs by paper thunder from WASH
ington.
Everybody hopes that the new
tariff will make as little business dis
turbanee as possible. The business
world is eager to have the agony over
and go to work heartily and PROS
perously, Yet before this is a new
tariff. when only one house has
passed the new tariff bill politics
shows its ugly head in solemn official
admonitions from the party in power.
