Regulating Competitive Industry.


other vitality important matters. the
January circular of the National City
Bank contains much that is instructive.
The following extracts have been
made:
Congress continued in session near
Il all of the year, occupied with meas
ures designed to both restrain and
compel competition. and to set up ad-
ditional governmental machinery to
that end. Agitation of this character
always takes a wide range, and, what
ever the results may be eventually, the
period of agitation is not conducive to
business enterprise.
The problem of regulating competi-
tive industry presents an entirely new
entitled to have his own opinion as to
the degree in which, and the means by
which, IL may be made successful. The
differences of opinion are not SO much
over the evils that prevail as about
the practicability and disadvantages OF
the various remedies proposed. There
are two very old sayings, rooted in hui
man experience. to the effect that q
remedy may be worse than a disease
and that there is such thing as Jump
ing out of the frying pan into the fire.
II has frequently happened that legis-
1ation designed to effect specific pur-
pose has had results totally unexpect-
ed and undesired. and 1t is practically
ated by legislation will present its
own problems.
This furnishes no conclusive argument
against new legislation. but does furnish
justification for the man who wants to
feel certain that the new problems will
not be more troublesome than the old.
The new legislation is not extreme in
character The authority of the trade
commission goes little beyond that of the
bureau of corporations. which it SUPER
sedes. Its conclusions must be given AZ.
feet through the regular courts In the
general policies which II seeks to estab-
lish it will doubtless reflect the course OF
public opinion, but the business com.
lunity in the long run must expect &c
'are It's methods by the standards OF
I court of last resort. Indeed, the
strongest argument against the policy OF
attempting TO cover every abuse by legis
iation is based upon the evidence of ex.
perience that for many kinds of offense.
publicity and public opinion are more Ger
tain and effective than the law"

same number as in 1913; liabilities in
1914 were $433.412. These figures are
rom the compilation of r. G. Dun &

The fact that the Lewis johnson & Co.

Duty Of the Hour Is to
Stand Loyalty For
Love and Truth
By the Rev. ]. H. HOLMES, Church Of
the Messiah, New York City

THE real tragedy Of this hour is
/ to be found in the wreckage of
ideals rather than of cities,
the blasting of the souls rather than
the bodies of men.
Still is it as true today as when
first proclaimed to the raptured ears
of men that God is our Father and
oil men everywhere our brethren.
Still is it as true today as when the
prophets of old bore steadfast wit
ness THAT LOVE IS THE Full
FILLING OF THE LAW AND
NEVER FAILETH.
These are 'sthe times that try
mems souls" Today as never be-
fore is God Sitting out the hearts
of men before his judgment seat"
TO BE LOYAL TO THE HIGHEST
OR CONTENT WITH THE EASIEST,
TO BE THE CHILDREN OF FAITH
OR THE vAssALs OF FEAR, TO
STAND FOR TRUTH OR MAKE
TERMS WITH ERROR THIS Is
THE CHALLENGE OF THE HOUR.
