SAY TRADE BODY IS
CORRUPT; ASK CHANGE

Washington, Sept. 1.-Usurpation OF
power, ineficiency and unjust abuse
of business interests, are among the
grave charges against the federal trade
commission, which have been laid be-
fore President Wilson by the chamber
of commerce of the United States in a
letter sent to the President several
days ago and made public tonight by
the chamber.
Directors or organization approved
and submitted a report denouneing the
trade commission as an irresponsible
body that has lost the confidence of
the public and asking the president to
remedy this condition by filling two
existing vacancies in membership with
able men, whose interests will be
single to the commissions work.

Captain Edward Anderson. draft ex-

local Council of Defense, asking thsf
they secure for the draft board the
necessary help. Members have gladly

least one third more men will register

voluntary help is needed by the draft
board for the clerical work entailed in
this task.
Another shortage which confronts
the board is the means of hanrling the
work entailed for those who do not
know how to fill out their question
naires. The legal advisory boards have
been depleted by the calling of many
of the younger lawyers TO the service.
and these are the men who gave their
services for such work before
Because of this it is deemed abso-
lute1y necessary that intelligent lay
men volunteer as associate members.
There is an imperative need of iuSAlli-
gent, patriotic men to aid in the work
September Il, and later according TO
the board members. Prospects are
that this aid will be forthcoming.

Der. BY this arrangement the work
Of all committees will be closely CO.
ordinated with the board. AS matters
come up for consideration, the Sec
retary will consult with the presi-
dent and the matter will be referred
to the proper committee for prelim-
mary consideration and report to the
board. The board may then, il
deemed necessary, call membership
meeting. By this means every mat
ter will have prompt and efficient
consideration with the least burden

A membership meeting wa s

THE PATIENCE OF JOB.
BY I. ID. Claire.

Old Father Job was indeed pa
tient in his hours of adversely but he
never had the trial of editing
county newspaper. Job lost a lot of
live stock, but cattle we're cheap in
those days, and then he had lot of
boils, but it isn't recorded that he
had to stand for reproaches from any
body but his wife. The country edi-
tor rarely has any stock, and may for
tunately through modern sanitation,
escape the boils, but he usually has a
wife, and wives haven't changed since
the days of Job. But cattle and boils
and wives are the least of the editors
troubles; he must please mighty
and captious multitude.
The editor is the only craftsman
we know whom everybody advises
and criticises. The fellows who
know how his newspaper ought to be
run are legion, and they delight in
telling him how to do it. A banker,
barber or a butcher may run his
business in his own even way, but not
so with the editor. There is no sin
gle business that everybody knows so
we'll how to do as the editing of
newspaper.
Nobody assumes to tell the bank
er how to adjust his discounts, the
doctor how to prescribe for his pa
tients, the lawyer how to prepare his
case, the preacher how to deliver his
sermons, the teacher how to train the
young mind to shoot, the druggist
how to compound his prescriptions.
Somehow the people think these arts
require some technical knowledge
and refrain from offering meddling
advice, but editing newspaper is
such a simple matter that everybody
but the editor is assumed to under
stand it.
Somehow editors are stubborn
things, as Josh Billings said of facts.
and are too authenticated to heed
good advice when given them. 1t
would be great thing for the news
paper business if some lone editor
could W convinced of his own irwin
chile ignorance, and induced to follow
! the advice of those who really know
what ought and what ought not to
go into a newspaper, but perhaps abe
event Is too good to be hoped for.
Deplorable as the condition is it looks
hopeless. and the probabilities are
that the public viii never have the
happy privilege Of reading a news
paper actually made by people who
really know how to make it.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1918-04-19
THE NEW DOG LAW.

The recent legislature passed the
most stringent dog law ever enacted
in Kentucky. Under the provisions
of this law all dogs must wear tags,
and any dogs caught without tag
will be impounded and the cost taxed
against its owner. 1t is made the
duty of the sheriff to see TO the en-
forcement of the law and heavy Den =
allies are provided for his failure to
do so. Any dog without tag, found
upon the premises of another, when
not accompanied by its owner, may
be killed without involving RESPONSE
bility in damages. Dogs, with or
without tags. when found upon the
premises of another after night may
in like manner be killed. The )fo-
visions of this law will involve the
necessity of locking up or claiming
all dogs at night.
