WHAT OPEN BOOKS PROVE

For many years past the United
States Steel Corporation and other
,arge co-ordinated and centralized nus
iEcsseS have been the target of the
demagogic politician. and the small
mind thar is ever ready to attack all
kinds Of success in this world through
the envy of its own failure. Mostly

plot; the dear people" for imaginary

COMING TO THE KAISER

knoweSt thou not this OF old, since
nan was placed On earth: :,
That the triumphing OF the wicked
is short. and the JOY of the hypocrite
but for I moment.
Though his e1~ce!lency mount up TO
the heavens, and his head reach unto
the clouds.
Yet he shall perish for ever. . =
His bones are full of the sin Of his
youth. which shall lie down with him
in the dust.
Though wickedneSs be sweet in his
mouth
Iet his meat in his bones is turned:
it is the gall OF asps within him.
He hath swallowed down riches. and
he shall. vomit them UP again: God
shall cast them out Of his belly.
lie shall suck the poison OF asps:
the viper's tongue shall STAY him.
He shall not see the rivers. the
Hoods. the brooks Of honey and but.
ter.
That which he labored for shall he
restore, and shall not swallow il down:
according 10 his substance shall the
restitution, be.
Because he hath oppressed. because
be hath violently taken away 4 house
which ne builded not he shall
not save of that which he desired.
In the iullness of his suflciency he
shall be in straits.
When he is about to fill his belly
Cod shall cast the fury Of his wrath
upon him.
He shall flee from the iron weapon,
and the bow of steel shall strike him
through.
All darkness shall be hid in his Sc
crct places; a fire no. blown shall con-
sumo him: it shall so i'll with him that
IS left in his tabernacle.
The heaven shall reveal his iniQuity.
and the earth shall rise up against
him.
The increase OF his house shall de-
part. and his goods shall flow away in
.he day of his wrath.

At the outset, Francis j. Heney
reverted to the published attack OF
Everett C.. Brown, president OF the
Chicago Livestock Exchange on re-
tail meat dealers and a similar at
tack which, he said, had been made
on retailers by the big packers.
In this connection he read into the
record a letter from Thomas IL. VIII
son, of Wilson e. Co, to NJ u. ReQua,
Aug. 21, 1917, then acting as first as
sistant to Food Administrator Hoov-
er. which discussed reduction Of the
cost Of meat to the consumer and
referred to a suggestion of saving
expense on each pound by putting
the retail beef sales into the hands
Of the packers. The Wilson letter
said in part:
4 think that by more intelligent
handling by retailers the price Of
meat could be reduced to the COM
sumer FIVE cents q. pound.
The same result might be effected
by elimination of a large proportion
OF retailers not now necessary in.

err.
The latter also suggested that
licensing retailers might be effective
in reducing the consumers cost.

Browns statement attributing prof.

VISIT TO FRANCE
American Forces Remark
able For Their Morale
and Their Health
tBy Associated Press.N

An Atlantic Port. March 1.--Major
General Peyton March, new chief of
staff of the United States army. ar
rived here today after nine months
abroad as chief of artillery of the
American expeditionary force. He
will go at once to Washington.
Describing the American troops in
France as SO we'll trained in modern
warfare as to be able to handle them
selves with entire credit to the Unit
ed States" General March said the
censorship was "lamentable'' and
intimated he would advocate that the
regulations in this respect be made
less stringent so that the people in
America might learn as much as
possible about the activities OF the
expeditionary forces.
American officers In France cannot
understand the present censorship
methods, General March said. add
ing:
Il know of no gentle method of
conducting a war Of this magnitude
and no army can be expected not to
have somebody hurt,"
The American forces are remark
able for their Rmorale and health he
datlsgad. They are keen about the
game. Those on the battle line now
and the reserves. too, are SO well
trained in modern warfare that they
can handle themselves with entire
credit to the United States. I in
spected the troops on the line just
before left France, and they are
extraordinarily cheerful and content
ed, Notwithstanding the mud and the
German Shells ,..
Their health is splendid. There
Is no sickness and there Is better
morale than there was at the MeZi-
can border, where 1 Was stationed
before going abroad. The spirit of
the Americans is splendid and every
man is happy. A great many of the
men take it as a lark, the majority
never before having been outside the
United States and some never even
outside their own states.
at Is q great advantage to the dnen
that everything is new and interest
ing to them; this serves to keep up
their spirits"
General March was accompanied
