microscopic benefit to small portion of tho
public would last only until plaintiff was
relieved from the competition of the Ia
cent grocers, when it, too would charge
what the business would normally and nat
urally bear. In short, it is plaintiff and not
defendant that pursues methods whose
hardship and injustice have often been
judically commented upon.
When an effort was made to amend the
Clayton act by the passage of a law legal
izing contracts fixing retail prices, the
great objection raised was that it would
work hardship on the retailer who hap
pened to be left with a stock which he
could not dispose of. That objection, Of
course, does not apply to the practice Of
Colgate & Co. That practice leaves the
retailer in entire freedom to dispose Of
his stock as he wills. 1t reserves to Col
gate & Co. only the right to protect their
name and their customers by refusing to
sell through retailers whose methods of
business are menace to everybody con-
cerned.
Colgate Co. are but one of large
and steadily increasing number of Ameri-
can merchants who have come to realize
that 1t is entirely possible for a great
manufacturing enterprise to deal with the
public as an individual would deal with
it; to be known almost personally for their
fair dealing. The day of fraudulent ad-
vertising, unfair trading, public-be-damned
methods, is almost done. In the day that
is coming it will be just as keen an Of
%o Ill
printed in daily paper as it is to-day to
tell 1t in an open court, and the .merchant
who attempts to advance his personal in
terest at the expense of the good name
of great American industry may, let us
hope. be legally frowned upon. If the De-
partment Of Justice Notwithstanding the
war, finds time hanging heavily on it's
hands, it should have no difficulty in find
ing more profitable material to work upon.

Trotzky to Blame
His friend lost no time in beginning to

The young man left me to attend the meet

An Unwise Idea

10 the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: 1t would be a sad state of events if
the early closing of theatres on account of
the coal shortage should be ordered The
very thought of it proves shocking not only
to the regular theatregoers but also to those
who may find time only once in week or
two to relax their fatigued minds and weary
bodies.
The amusement places, especially the
movies and the stage, have necessary func-
tions toward the welfare of the people. The
events of the world thrown on the screen
keep us informed Of the latest doings An
excellent play elevates our ideas and en-
thuses us with new hopes. The worlds

The Future Of Palestine
Cirom The Edinburgh Scotsmon,


Palestine at present is not a desert but an
empty and deserted land which has been de-
prived of its inhabitants. 1t is emptier than
ever SINCE the recent famines and massacros

Ottoman oppressors, with the KNOWLEDGE. if
not under the direction of their German over
seers have cleaned the country of severa,
hundreds OF thousands of the population.
The land assigned to the Twelve Tribes could
at most accommodate only a faction of tho
100000 Jews who are scattered over TIE
face of the earth. But "there is room in
Palestine for at least another million Jews
without dspacing the present inhabitants. -"
1t is not contemplated that their increase
shall be at the expense of the non-Jewish
population, or that their rights and liberties
shall diminish those of their neiehbors In
particular, the Zonists disown any "desirc

Of the places which they recognize as holv to
Christian and Moslem, as we'll as Jew"-the
root of the quarrel that brought about the
Crimean War; and they acknowledge the
right Of all faiths and races to "free access

Land incloses"

which must have made them almost
savory even to the recipients, and which
certainly contributed to the popularity
which that eccentric executive enjoyed.
The Mayors letter to Mr.. Henry w.
Hardon, Of the Civil Service Reform AS
soclaton, declaring that 1--WE have had all
the reform that we want in this city for
1t contrives to leave the Mayor ridiculous,
not reform" Civil service happens to be
a principle rooted in the law. Whether
I'VE" want it or not, it is on The statute
books. 1t is the duty of the Mayor and
his associates in the city administration
to live up to it, and the privilege Of the
Civil Service Reform Association to hold
them to rigid compliance with the law,
as it has undertaken to do with former
administrations and will doubtless continue
to do with the administrations which come
along after Mayor Hylan has gone.
For man who made many campaign
promises of reform the new Mayor is
singularly intolerant of other reformers.
He may resent scrutiny Of his adminis-
tration's acts by organizations like the
Citizens Union, to which he has already
paid his respects, and the Civil Service Re-
form Association, but, after all, he ought
to be sagacious enough to realize that
scrutiny cannot be avoided, and the way
to escape criticism by such organizations
is not by counter-attack, but by having
his administration refrain from acts and
policies open to criticism.

Bone-Dry Democracy
To the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Each and every state in the Union
has full power 10 enact and enforce the
strlctest kind of prob ibtory laws that its
citizens may desire. The regulation Of the
liquor traffic has always been regarded a. an
exercise of the police powers confded to the
several states. The Webb Kenyon law ane
the Reed "bone-dry" act enable the states TO
shut out all liquor coming from wet terrter'
IN view Of these undeniable facts the ques'
ton arises: "Why national prohiboa
through a constitutional amendment" Is II
because its advocates want to force prohibl..
tory laws upon the nation by the action o.
states representing minority OF the Amer
can people? Or are they actuatcd by de-
sire to fasten the prob bition policy upon The

Lounatcharsky proposed himself for that
mission.

Lennc asked him. "You must get our friends
