SOMETHING. BIT WHAT


There is much to be commended in the effort

comment on the situation and arouse public
sentiment to such point th&t prices unwar.

Just how far this influence will be effective is
doubtful bat 9ome Dispatches from New York
and Chicago state that there have been some
reductions already, said to have been caesed
directly, by the wide publicity that has been
given the boosts made by dealers In certain
products, OF corlrhe there Is no way of COM
polling a dealer to sell his goods at price lower
than that he sets except by the force of the
boycott that will make him ready TO sell at
reasonable prices In order to sell at all. This
Of course, In instances. IA at present. where IT
Is certain there abundant supplies available
that make II impossible for the merchant or
dealer TO maintain for long a corner on his
particular product.
The foregoing must be qualified to some ex
tent by the statement that there Is at least
one other means fer forcing reductions which is
to be found In the power conferred upon the
government by the Sherman antitrust act. If
the government in the present instance show
evidence Of conspiracy in restraint OF trade
that has resulted in the present high prices. It
has at it's disposal effective Of con
trolling the situation. 1t is, to say the least.

found. and II so. II there il any corpora

increase, There is no justification for the prices

THE SINS OF THE FATHERS.

IMITATION. BY Robert Hugh Benson
i2mo, PIP Az. Dodd, Mead q Co.
1t is an exceptionally able piece OF
fiction that Monsignor Benson gives
us in this book. Most welcome is the
good taste that tempers the serious
ness of his treatment of its subject The
sins of the fathers are very much TO
the fore in shrleking novels, as in the
blatant popular science" and the di-
lettante sociology of the day. This au-
thor handles them with the reticence
that amply suffices for mature men
and women. AS for his thesis, that is
another matter. IT belongs to the field
Of theology rather than TO that of 1T
erature. Monsignor Benson, 20 state
his theory briefly, holds that the suf-
fering Of the victims, the children, is
means of grace for their own souls,
and for those OF the sinners, their de-
parted fathers, as well. Whittier this

cal fact would lead, if logically carried

Indeed, original work Of any kind IN a

the authenticity OF the myths, and
therefore destroy the value OF this

having in telling an Indian legend is
that of the Indian himself"

and several other tribes have contrib
uted to these pages myths Of the crea-

OF the calumet, the blowing of the
