POPULAR CONTROL
OF FOOD PRICES

That the public may, whenever 1t
is so disposed, completely upset the
plans Of food manipulators and mo-
nopolists IS hardly, at this late day, a
debatable question. Whenever the
mass of consumers decide to shun an
article Of food. artificially inflated in
price, that article will become de-
flated to a normal, or even to lower
than normal value. The law of sup
ply and demand is none the less ac-
tive and operative i'm economies be-
cause modern manipulators and mo-
nopolsts disregard It in fixing prices.
The boycott of itself is usually
poor weapon, and its employment
would be inexcusable II II were used
solely to combat periodical advances
in food prices deemed by consumers
excessive. 1t is easy to see how II
might be a dangerous instrument il
used for selfish purposes. Where
there Is popular refusal to buy, and
where the movement is carried on
with the purpose of serving the COM
munity rather than individuals, the
method that has come to be known as
the boycott may be excused and even
commended, but as a means only, not
as an end. In refusing to pay the
prices fixed by manipulators or mo-
nopolists regardless of the relation
of production to consumption, and
simply because 1t seems to be within
the power of the seller to dictate to
the buyer tho citizen Is playing q
courageous and a useful part. Wheth-
er acting as an individual, or as l in
a group, or In a multitude of indi-
viduals, he is performing a duty to
| his kind when he refuses to counten-
ance imposition. And his success can
| not be measured by what he acccmp-
fishes in a special instance or in a
certain quarter. He Is helping bet
! ter than he knows to overturn the
evil system that has been gaining
strength I'm the United States for the
last 20 years and that aims, thru dis
honest and oppressive means, at pre-
venting a great percentage of produ-
GERS from finding a profitable mar
ket for their commodities. 1t 10 thru
the exclusion of products of the soil

foodstuffs possible, that prices are in
flated artificially. and the public Is

LETS CIVILIZE
MARRIAGE LAWS

'"The wifes side of the marriage
bargain is too highly regarded. When
woman gives herself in marriage to
man, she does the utmost thing she
can do. If later he makes him
self offensive to her the duty to pro-
vide for her should still run against
the husband as a valid claim in the
nature Of punitive damage" Thus with
many other things, wrote Richard ID.
Kathrens 3 years ago in book en-
titled, Lets Civilize the Marriage
Laws" In Kansas City. when Mrs.
Kathrens was granted a divorce, the
exact amount of the punitive damag-
es she received was not made pub
lie. She asked no alimony. but e.
NJ. Bartlett, her attorney, indicated
that a satisfactory settlement had been
made out OF court. If so, Mr.. Kath-
rens followed to the last the philoso-
ply set forth in his book. "A wife
should have a divorce on demand"
was another statement in the same
work That was the way Mrs. Kath-
rens got hers. Mr.. Kathrens entered
no crossbill and made no attempt at
defense. Some of the other pre-
cepts which Mr.. Kathrens included in
his book and which seem to have
been put into practice are: divorce
is a Judicious compromise for those
who cannot carry out their martial
| contracts" divorce is not an evil
but good and blessed thing" "Di-
vorce is an effect of our matrimon-
ial mistakes" According to the tes-
timony of Mrs Kathren, her hus-
bands chief matrimonial mistake was
that he paid too much attention tc
writing and too little to her. "He
would go away from home for weeks
at a time" she declared in the circuit
court OF Judge Allen c. Southern
MY own wishes were for home and
children. Mr.. Kathrens preferred to
live in hotels. He was Indifferent
me in every way. 1t is 10 years since
we were man and wife in anything
more than name" The Kathrens were
married at Fort Dodge, Ia, in 1894
They were separated last June, Mrs
Kathrens filed suit for divorce In
october.

KISSING SOLVES
FAMILY TROUBLE

kissing as a panacea for domestic
trouble is recommended from the
bench by Superior Judge Graham,
whose work as domestic pacifier in
San Francisco has earned him the
name OF the great reconciler" When
John Schuler, who is being sued for
divorce, complained that he quar-
relied frequently with his wife, Judge
Graham advised him to avoid such
fuses by kissing his wife more often.
Later the Judge mailed this effusion
to Schuler:
When your wife and you fall out,
Don't strut about and shout
Don't growl at her, or scowl at her,
or hiss her.
You will find II doesn't pay;
Try your luck another way;
Just take her in your arms and gent
ly kiss her.
When your wife and you must fight,
Make her think she's in the right.
Don't rush off to your club. where
you will miss her,
Should a fight with wifey start,
You will play the big mans part,
If you take her in your arms and
gently kiss her.
