The Veluet Hammer
By Arthur Brooks Baker
RALPH w. GAYLoR.

The town OF Mishawaka has a
weight upon it, mind,
And needs the finest mayor il i pos
sible GO find.
It always tries TO set a good exam
pie TO South Bend,
Which we can rightly follow and
which others can commend.
Its conduct of affairs must be re-
fined and dignified.
\ proper basis for the tallest kind OF
civic pride.
The name of Mayor Gaylor is a strict
certificate
That MishawalIa'S morals are all up
right. pure and straight.
He knocks the merry grafters resO-
luteIy on the wrist.
And says i'm tones serene and firm
that sinners must desist:
The greedy corporations of the pub
lie service sort
He chases up the alley for his ex-
ercise and sport.
The climate down at Washington
would suit his lungs and heart
And he could run for congress if Inc
ever got a start.
Though Andrew jackson Hickey has
it cut and dried and done
That ne himself will be there when
they start that sort of fun,
And Andrew jackson did il once
with misunderstanding speed,
Though not with all the haste that
the occasion seemed To need.
But GaylOr's the mechanic who has
built the fine machine
On which the hopes of Mishawaka' :
Grand Old Party lean,
And many gay competitors who
thought the game was cinched
Have tried to monkey with the
wheels and got their fingers
pinched.
So if the Grand Old Party should
sufficiently revive.
Who knows but he'll be congress-
man and help its fortunes
thrive?

THE STEVENS AND AYRES BILLS TO
PROTECT STANDARD PRICES.

When Rep. Stevens Of New Hampshire submitted a
bill the prohibiting retailers from cut
ting prices standard articles the bill buried in
committees. There little public support for it,
But rapidly has public opinion developed along this
line that there is good prospect Of similar measure
introduced by Rep Ayres Of Kansas and more care
fully framed, being enacted by the present congress
The public SHE'D first the idea OF letting manu-
dictate price which their product should

that peril in 1t. Of course 1t has been removed
by provision the bill forbidding manufacturers

market through monopoly Of any particular product
or through agreement or combination with other man
ufacturers The manufacturer can prices only
when he is genuinely competing.
The justice OF protecting the manufacturers right
under certain conditions is obvious enough business
frm that builds reputation for standard article

quality product right protection against
cheapenng that product. 1t is fair

patrons to the methods lead consumers to
suspect the product of being inferior and make them

improperly deprived of trade
The consumer suffers also. 1t is to his advantage
to know what he getting and what it is worth He

And when he has profted by special low

From the standpoint of the manufacturer and mer-

standpoint Of consumer it's question knowing
what he's buying and buying what he wants. From
standpoint it's question of honest business
