The Ca,1,,e7-y Mercer

THE twenty-five million dollar merger" now
i reported to be in process Of formation on the
Coast has for its avowed object the elimination
Of the middleman, that intermediate distributor
who has always stood between the packer and
the retailer, taking toll from both, without, it is
claimed, rendering adequate service in return.
Pacific Rural Press declares that this combine
of fruit and pineapple Gamers, and salmon pack
ers is on the face of it benevolent enterprise
The farmers have long been tired of the middle
man and have from time to time made more or
less frantic efforts to escape from his clutches
But all the time farmers have been trying they
have been told by commercial mentors and tor
mentors that if the middleman were torn off the
pipe he has made the whole business would run
away through the hole. And we have sometimes
been scared into admission that, after all, the
middleman may, perhaps, be necessary, and, If
SO, then he ought to be regulated as to the size
Of the hole he bored for his own benefit
But now seem to be impelled to the con-
cusion that the best way to cuddle the middle
man must be to knock him in the head And
we surely could not reach that dreadful concu-
sion by Our own bravery. When, however, the
conclusion is offered US by those who are recog-
nized as masters of high finance and high COM
merce, how can we longer admit that the middle
man may be necessary? The great Gamers mer-
ger, seems to be going ahead finely, and has
heaped up fund Of perhaps, twenty-five million
dollars, with which it proposes to swallow all it's
component parts at more than fifty per cent above
their par value"
Theschief advantage of the merger is going to
be the Termination of duplicate distributing Or
CARNATIONS At present the big loss in market
ing canned goods IS the excessive cost of getting
the product past .the mddleman. Hence all the
concerns that are combining going to keep
on md theIr o,J
processes just as before, but there will be only
one organization for selling their goods. -
The merger will be able to buy supplies much
cheaper than before, and sell direct to the re-
taller. This action has been taken, it is under
Stood because the middemen showed no mercy
when canned goods slumped and were all but
unstable during the first year of the war.

rHE ADVERTISER.s SEM.WEEKLY
They Fear Results

TIME Democratic newspapers from Maine to
Manila are busily engaged in telling the
country how disappointed they are in Hughes
speeches, protesting to be more or less shocked
at the inability of next President to rise to
the nebulous heights of pure reason where Wood
row Wilson scars The Democrats have no rea-
son for their criticism of the Republican candid
ates speeches except fear of the effect his straight
forward recital of the amazing failures of this
administration is producing in the minds Of the
voters.
Not content with criticizihg the foreign policy
of the administration, Mr. Hughes has veIltured
to dwell upon the weak points OF its domestic
policy. He has emphasized its inconsistent at
titude upon the subject Of preparedness its fail
ure to appreciate the economic dangers which the
end of the war will bring, it's lack Of efficiency in
the routine duties Of government, its disregard Of
civil service principles to which previous admin
istrations have in the main adhered however i'm
perfectly.
These deeply panied democratic critics should
give chapter and versey if they expect impartial
persons to accept their criticisms as justified The
Democrats have no reason for their attitude to-
ward the Republican candidate, but they have
reason good enough. They feel the force of his
arguments, they dread the effect upon the voters,
they believe that they can gain great point by
accusing him OF lack of intellectual honesty.
The President of the United States should have
the respect due to his great Office, even when he
Is a candidate for reelection. No political ext
gency absolves his opponents from this obliga-
ton. But he cannot be held immune from criti-
cism--sharp criticism, if need be-and there is
neither improperly nor treason" in induging
in it.

Vacation Time

NTHANGE of pasture makes fat calves" is
None of the old proverbs that is accepted
without much thought about whether it is the
change or the pasture that makes the calves fat
1t is altogether probable that with bovine nature
the change is immateria1 while the pasture is
the essential. But very different is the case with
human nature.
Change renews the elasticity of the mind and
sharpens the edge of the will. Both the intelli-
gence and the will become blunted by long con-
tinued use. The usual opinion that the primary
use OF vacation is that Of physical renewal does
not appear to be entirely correct. Physical vigor
is more easily maintained than is mental vigor,
and the efficiency of ones work is married oftener
by lack of mental strength and lack of will power
than by lack of physical capacity. The mind
can spur the body to unusual and long continued
Iexercise but vice versa not So

S6pshod Diplomacy

THERE is much criticism by the mainland
\ - press of the exorbitant price the United
States is obligatng itself to pay for the Danish
West Indies. Twenty-Five million dollars is a
considerable sum to pay for three small islands,
the larger of which is about as big as Moloka es-
pecially many people believe the advantage of
quiring them gift would be decidedly doubtful
1t is being pointed out that the United States
already has far better and more important hay
bors and terminals at Guantanamo and other
ports in the Caribbean. The Philadelphia Ledger
remarks that with the strategic value to US the
same possibly lessened by our bases in Cuba
and with Germany now fully occupied elsewhere
and officially indifferent to the SALE it looks il
the asking price of $25,OOOOO0 either the re-
suit Of slipshod diplomacy in Washington or OF
perhaps more sinister private deals than congress
discovered were back of the previous offers fif
teen years ago Whatever the alternative, the
country should have all the facts The sale should
be free and above board on the part of both gov
ernments, which have nothing to conceal"
