 Is it Fame? This is assuredly a semblance of temporary satisfaction, but fame, like happiness, is too frag. lie to withstand the ravages of time.
 Is it Character? Most valuable of aiI acquisitions because character is the real gold of life, and stands the test of fire without injury or loss. Character is the substantial adjunct of every life, but is Lot, ,n itself alone, Success.
 What then, is Success: The col lection and hoarding of all the so- called good things of life?" The possession of health, wealth, pleas ure, peace, joy, contentcment? Abso- lurely not!

IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.

For the last twelve months or more the cost of living has been increas- ing from day to day until prices for the necessaries of life became such that a cry went up from one end of the country to the other. Petitions were presented to the president de- manding that an embargo be put o1 all commodities, etc. Rumors, of an investigation commenced to fly. Con- gress was to meet soon and down went the prices. Eggs, butter an1 other things were released from cold storage and took a downward dip. This is followed by a government in vestigation. If that investigation is made in good faith we see no reason why those who have been responsi- ble for the increase of prices should not be punished, even if the prices are brought down. They have shown a desire to rob the people.-Ketchi- kan Miner.

THE PARASITES.

Put the parasitical food specula- tor behind the bars," would be an ap- propriate slogan for the campaign into which the federal government at last has launched.
 From the thoroughness of the p-ep- aration by department of justice in- vestigators, from the determination of the President vigorously to press the inquiry and from the reported evidence already at hand for the sev- eral grand juries which are to act at various big cities, it will be surpris- ing indeed if some of the most flag rant instances of food gambling do not slam the guilty manipulators into jail.
 President Wilson's vigor in this direction is palpably dictated by a desire to provide counter attraction 10 the much-demanded embargo on food. His ethics seem to revolt at the embargo idea, and the prosecu- tion idea has been resorteG to in self defense, it seems. Whatever the mo- tive, it is gratifying to see the gov ernment's hand lifted in defense of its people.
 Brazen gambling in the necessaries of life, screwing up the prices notch after notch to pile up greater profits while the poor consumer has to squeeze his pocketbook harder and harder to buy his daily bread. is ut terly repugna1t.
 That it is the business of the gov ernment to find the line between the man who produces food and who, per haps has the right to hold 1t as long as he wants to, and the man who "toils not, neither does he spin," bu: who reaps iniquitous profits by con- spring to force prices beyond the normal balance of supply and de- mand, is beyond argument.-Tacoma News.

SAYS OLD MEN MOST EFFICIENT
Fifteen Employers Testing Efficiency of Men Between the Ages of 45 and 65-Say Better Work Done By OId Men Than Young.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20 The work oi testing the efficiency of men between the ages of 45 and 65 alongside oi an equal number of young men was begun today by the committee of 1J mployers recently organized, witl Benjamin J. Rosenthai, a Chicago Icapitalist, at it's head.
 The committee was organized pr!- |marily, MT. Rosenthal said, "to up |set the fallacious theory that men be- tween the ages of 45 and 65 are fit only for the scrap head"
 In response to advertisements hun dreds of men beyond middle age have been received by the committee, and a large force of clerks, loaned b. business houses, today began to sift and classify them.
 we will start our first test next week." said MT. Rosenthal. Twenty middle aged men whom we have en- listed will be employed by one of the largest houses In Chicago. The head of this house, to make an efficiency test, will put them in the correspon- dence department. Alongside of tn enl will be 20 young men and each indi- vidual will be given the same work to do. They will open, sort and file cor respondence and do auditing work.
 "If these twenty middle aged men do but half as much work as the younger men they will be paid half as much salary. If their efficiency is equal to the younger men and they prove it they will receive the same salary.
 Recently I took score of men and put them to wrapping parcels in a large concern. They were all ex- perienced and so were the twenty young men who wrapped beside them. Not only did the older men do as much work as the younger, hut in some instances more.", ;f :"
