ONE MANS OPINIONS
BY N. D. COCHRAN

] BY ~. u COCHRHN
Small Business Men, was pleas
ed to note that the retail butchers
and other small business men we're
taking up the fight for their custom
ers against the greed of the Big Bust
ness hogs who have been raising
prices without reason and giving the
war as an excuse.
Possibly some day all small bust
ness men-the butchers, grocers and
other retailers learn that
THEIR interests are with the work
ing class and all consumers
customers rather than with Big
Business and the bankers.
The tendency of Big Business in
recent years has been toward making
the retail merchant a mere clerk,
making their profit a sure thing and
his gamble, with most of the odium
growing out of the high cost of liv-
ing falling on the retailer.
There are few employers and many
employees. There are mighty few mer-
chants who could live off the rich
alone. The steady trade of the many
is the best trade. Yet there has been
too much catering to the rich, who,
as rule, are slowest when it comes
to paying their bills. -
The retail merchant ought to be
able to see that he is interested in
high wages and short working hours.
If an employer already rich can in
crease his! nrOfitc hu holding Uo Oo-
down he won't buy any more food,
clothing or shelter.
But if his several hundred employees
can get an advance in wages, nearly
every dollar of increase will go to the
merchants. He is interested in in
creased purchasing power of the
many rather than in increased riches
of the few who are already rich.
Yet you will find many retail mer-
chants trailing along behind the lead
ership of the jobbers and manufac-

And every time they squeeze the
workers they squeeze the retailers.
Politics and War-Politician who
get all het up over the game because
they want Office may not understand
why it is hard work getting the peo-
pie generally excited over the game
just now. y
But there's a reason. Politics is war
and does fairly well to amuse men
when there's nothing else doing. But
with the real thing going on over in
Europe the local political war looks
too tame.
1 have a notion that there is no
class of news that interests as few
people as the political news about the
scramble of men for Office. The Office
holders are interested, of course; and
they succeed in interesting their
friends and relatives.
+ But the general run of people who
are working for their living don't care
boot what happens in the scramble
for jobs at the political pie counter.
Many people learned long ago that
the only difference between Demo-
cratic and Republican ofice-seekers
exists before election. Once they get
in you can't see the difference with
the naked eye and even a microscope
wouldn't leave much chance for a diff
ference of opinion.
The forgetting. part of politics is
business with most of those who
play the game a business in which
there is nightly little profit for the
public. g.,
If the rival candidates start real
scrap, then folks will take notice, of
course-just as they would take no
tice of a good dog fight. But it's an
uninteresting war when the real thing
is even if the real thing is over
in Europe. ~ -.--s
