The nation u now within striking
distance OF the nnai war measure
on the administration program-the
food control bin. Congress has been
outrageously slow in dealing with IT,
and 9 group of professional obstruc-
tionists in the Senate have put addi-
tional discredit to their names. AZ

structionist tactics are employed

La Toilette. who has by his mex
plicable perversity during the past
few months fairly well succeeded in
dimmins the iuster that once attached
to his name.
The new law Is q war measure Of
the greatest. importance. 1t assures
governmental control Of food stocks,
feed, coal, coke, and a few minor
products. It assures minimum prices
to the farmer, placing him beyond
the Vaccinations Of the gamblers and
spectators who have fastened like
leeches on the distribution processes
Of the nation. The consumer Is prom
ised protection by the provisions
against boarding and manipulation.
the power to abolish the grain ex-
changes when they are obviously used
in the interests Of speculation. The
bill stimulates the tendency toward
the planting OF large crops through
the establishment of minimum prices
and It assures the American people
against mulcting and extortion. All
of which is accomplished because of
the st m necessity OF war. Why cam
not such measures OF protection to
the public be undertaken in times OF
peace?
It is argued. of course, that such
extraordinary governmental paternal-
ism as Is here involved-such a sheer
experiment In socialism-can be JUS
titled only by the exigencies of war.
In peace 1t would be utterly foreign
to American institutions. 1t Is con-
trary to the spirit OF free and open
competition. to the spirit OF individ-
uaism, to which the remarkable devel-
opment OF the nation Is attributed.
And yet the bill is a milestone in
the economic history of the American
people. II there be any who think
that its effect, or It's influence, are
to be limited to the duration of the
war. they are sadly mistaken. Amer
leans who have observed the encroach-
ments Of the speculative tendency in
American business. particularly busi-
ness dealing with the necessities of
life. are learning their lesson. They
will be slow indeed to unlearn It.
Mr.. Hoover Is going to teach Amer
leans whole bag Of new tricks
abou how to deal with various irk-
some economic problems which were
merely being tinkered with before the
war came upon US. He will. be a
controller who will know how to con-
troll The control will be exercised
in the manifest interests OF the peo-
pie and Of the nation. There is no
adequate reason why such control is
not required in equal measure In nor
NAL times, and Americans will grasp
that fact in its entirety.

When I can smile when wake up,
And smiling ouafr each daily cup,
And smiling glance in mine own eye
When some old mirror passing by;
When I can smile whene'er I greet
A friend or stranger on the street,
And smiling go to bed at night,
I sort OF feel that sneers and spite
And evil things upon my track
Like water on q duckling's back
VIII drop away, and troubles clutch
Can't hurt my projects overmuch.

ployes of the Gmbcl store in Rhiladel-
phia who have been in the employ of the
company for a year or longer will re-
ceivc life insurance policy tor $500, and
this policy win increase yearly until
$1,000 is reached. This was the present
given by the members of the firm at
the dinner which marked the celebration
of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the
founding OF the store by Adam Gimbel
in 1912.
In making the gift TO the employees
Ellis \. Gimbel said;
1t would be rather selfish on an occa-
sion of this sort if we did not thinl;
of our faithful employees, number ng
1000 persons. That they have been
loyal, conscientious and hard workers
goes without saying, and many, il moi
all. of our department heads have
risen from the ranks. The firm severa.
years ago adopted the policy of Promot'
ing from our own staff rather than "a
look elsewhere for a department head.
We all know that health, happiness
and cooperation are important fac
tors in the success of any business,
and the beneficial association, organ
lied and controlled by the employees,
has in the last ten years paid out in
excess of 100000
Scores of men prominent IN bust
ness and civic life were present to pay
their respects to the firm that had for
the last seventy-five years made such a
great name for the city of Philadel-
phia.
Great patriotism was displayed all
through the dinner. and a rousing
ovation was given Governor Brum-
baugh as he entered fate having
fastened from meeting of the State
Defense Committee to attend the din
ner. The governor spoke just after a
message from Washington had been
read telling Of the Presidents mes
sage, and complete silence filled the
room. He paid his compliments to
the firm.
Hampton L. Carson, POSTMASTER,
congratulated the company on the
completion Of so long and successful
a period of business life.
I Cyrus X. Curtis made a short ad-
/ dress. paying his tribute to the firm
which he said, like himself, had come
/ into this city and proved to all that
those things which men said could
not be done were possible.
Among the other speakers were ia
cob Gimbel, who said in part:
Philadelphia has a dominant
part to play in the crisis that
I confronts the nation. In the mob
