81 have Just read over what have
written to you. my dear, and I am
afraid that to some one who did not
know me 1t would seem like the con-
fession of very bold, bad man.
When I said that had no thought
of marriage. Margie. that night when
I told you that 1 loved you I meant
only that my brain did not act that
far. 1t is very probable that II you
had not been, so sweet, dear, and ac-
cepted me before ! asked I would
later have formed the thought and
revealed 1t.
"To q mn love means always one
thing-possession. A man may have
a vagrant wish to possess without low
ing but he can't love without wanting
to possess. This idea OF platonic love
between the sexes Is all rot.
"T love you Is the cry of all men
as they open wide their arms and
when q woman truly answers I love
you.' 1t is her desire to creep within.
II remember your saying to me the
night before our marriage, After to-
night, dear. shall belong to you,' and
gloried in that surrender, but both
you and I found out that today a
woman does not really want to be-
long.
That is the tragedy OF the modern
marriage. Margie-a man still has the
ancient desire to possess, and in her
first, wonderful. overwhelming passion
Of love the woman wants to belong.
The man. my dear. never loses his idea
that the woman he loves must belong
to him body and soul. but the modern
woman soon finds that to give her soul
into the keeping Of any one Is irksome.
And then comes the clash OF wills.
You women Of today will not lie
even to- yourselves as did your
mothers, who, outwardly at least, al
lowed the men they married to think
that they nodded thier thoughts and
directed their wills.
you proudly say we will not stoop
to Delilah tactics to get our own way.

such We must be captains OF our own

Swift Company
Made No Profit
The consumer would
pay only IA cent a
pound less for his
dressed beef.
If Swift & Company
waived all profit on
cattle, and gave it to
consumers in the form of
lower. beef prices, this
would reduce the cost
to the average consumer
less than25 cents per year
for all the beef he eats.
In fact, the packers pro-
fit is so insignificant that
if surrendered to the con-
sumner the effect upon
retail meat prices would
be practically nothing.
1t is because of the
volume of meat hand
led that the investor
in Swift & Company's
business receives a salts
factory return upon his
money.
These figures for 1917
are convincing:
The profit of $1.29

or see their supply fade away, to be alb
1sorbed by smaller independent plants
ispringing up nearer the source.
The difficulty with this program is
that progressive measures follow the
line of least resistance. Mr.. Hoover
has shown us how the exigencies of the
day impel governmental agency to
accept the established order and to make
the best of an existing situation by a
resort to price fixing and government
control. That way can never be sat
isfactory short of full government owner
ship and operation. Our experience with
regulation of railroads and public utilities
has been one of duplicating overhead
expense, dividing responsibility, and
setting up a constant friction between
public and private interest. The pack
ers have standardized and stabilized
the industry. Their ramifcations are
too many, their power too great, to be
broken up by mere supervision. We
must either strike at the privileges on
which their power rests or take over
the entire industry. In the latter event,
government operation of the great
central plants might be placed on a
fixed profit basis until would-be CON-
petitors had been given their opportunity
to demonstrate that indignation and
government monopoly is not the right
solution. Government operation offers
the simplest remedy because it could
be encompassed by the action Of single
government agency. What the Com
mission probably will recommend is
government ownership and control of
terminal yards and a high degree of
government supervision and price, fixing
for the whole industry. This is merely
a guess, based on no special knowledge
If such a program is adopted, it will
tend toward government operation of
the entire industry. Those who be-
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1918-04-10

lieye there is a better remedy face MANY
dnhcultles. They must convert both
state and city legislatures in commun-
tiles where the packers WELD tremendous
political power. And they must give
labor an assurance that the free operation
OF the law of supply and demand will
be ettectual in placing the Industry on
stable basis, without those fluctuations
between curtailment and intense activity
that spell insecurity for the workers.
Here again they are handicapped. Fol.
their program rests it's promise on tn,
effects of it's full adoption bv. alY tha
community. Opportunity would indeed
then be opened so widely that the loss
of employment in one Industry would
not spell disaster. They must face the
TACT that fundamental changes are upon
us, that the people are demanding
prompt action that will socialize the
processes on which life depends. Only
a very wide and active propaganda
VIII prevent us from taking the road
OF the Socialists, because it is the road
OF least resistance in nation where
the taxing power is distributed among
conflicting jurisdictions.
These differences are after all not so
important. The important thing is
that the impulse to eliminate unearned
income, to establish economic Justice
and freedom, is abroad in the land, that
it is rapidly becoming an impulse of
dominating force, and that eventually
it will achieve it's aim. In the mean
time every democrat needs an open mind,
and friendliness toward experiment.
