Why So Much and So Little

Last year the leading mail order house. on a vol
over 1912 of almost 10 per cent, cleared profit of
about 10 per cent equal to % per cent on its 100000
600 common stock, after taking out the per cent
ON it's 100000 of preferred stock
Of every dollar handled, dime went into the kit
ty. Almost as fortunate record as Henry Fords.
Yet many women employees of this prosperous in
sttution are being paid wages which just about en-
able them to keep noses above water. The bulk Of
the prosperity remains at the top.
The largest stakeholder gives much to charity
and receives much praise in consequence.
But it may be fairly doubted if what he gives in
that way does half much good as if it were to be
distributed in higher wages among those now re-
cevng the least; and in closer margins of profit up
on goods sold to consumers.
Above comfortable living and enough surplus to
insure the enterprise against the fluctuations in
business, why should he want to pile up millions,
which embarrass rather than benefit him?
Isn't this the next lesson which our captains of
industry need to learn?

Uncle Sans Big Grand Jury

1t is good news that Wilson's industrial commits
sion is to try to learn what is underneath the labor
in Michigan and Colorado whittier such strife
is leading us, and, if possible the way out.
Its inquest will have behind it ample authority
and funds and patience which will allow due dill
gence in searching for the truth.
1t has no power to mediate in any controversy; no
power Of action at ALL 1t is merely grand jury, to
inquire and lay the results of it's inquiry before
gress and the people.
But unlike certain Industrial commissions of the
past it starts without bias and wishes to collect all
the information which it lay hold of concerning
the causes of industrial unrest.
Moreover, it starts with the advantage of sharing
the new point of view-that what democracy needs
is not the massing of property in the control of
few, but welfare widespread and as evenly distrib-
uted human brotherhood can accomplish.
Viewed from this angle many old ways, once
highly reverenced, will appear vicious; and many
results long held in honor, will be revealed as not
further tolerable
An inventory thus guided cannot fail to be of
value.
To aid it in every possible way will be public
duty.

If that's so, why isn't McReynolds shouting for
power and urging Wilson to help him to it?
Does he think there can be "peace'' or crest for

DIR. Samuel A. johnson, 421 Kansas

births, neglected to report the birth
of his own child. Gladys Lucretia

filed with the city clerk on March 81,
1914. She was born October IT, 1897.
She is the only child of DR.. johnson
and the thought that her arrival was
not heralded in paper or press filled
him with chagrin. He had no clip

He ascertained no such atem had ever
been printed, and supplied the infor-

city physician at the time, and over
