willing to act as agents and to organ
ize societies in their localities.
The committee is asking the bank:

of stamps and replies received show
that they are taking up the matter II
hearty manner. Banks are asked
both to buy $1,000 of stamps as al
investment and to keep on hand K
sell to the agents and societies an,

An agents will secure stamps from
the postoffices and banks, as the!

In Nashville price fixing committee
brought again into being through the
effort to revive the food administra-
ton is having great deal OF trouble
in satisfying The public, and at the
same time providing margins of profit
upon which small dealers can contin-
tie in business.
II is stated that some of the prices
fixed make it impossible for the small
er dealers in foodstuffs to make both
ends meet. margin that will enable
the small dealer and especially the su-
burban grocer to make Reasonable
profit allows what is considered an
unreasonable profit to the big store
that does an enormous volume Of bus
mess. II would be very doubtful pol
icy to freeze out" all the little fell
lows. There may be too many retail

action to put all the little fellows"
out OF business would be an injustice.
They serve a useful purpose. They
are a great check on the larger con
Germs. In the past they have provided
wholesome competition. They are a
great convenience to neighborhoods.
The big stores do a strictly cash bus

impossible fo- many buyers to lay

them over many pinch in the past

FAIR LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Governments among men are insti-
tutcd primarily to protect and safe
guard life. liberty and the peaceful
enjoyment of property. Whether it is
a national, state or municipal govern
ment, these are the main objects
Taxes are justified and expenses in
Cured upon the idea that they are
necessary in order to insure society
these blessings. The government that
does not fairly and justly enforce the
laws fails in it's first obligation. It
fOrfeits any excuse for its existence
Unless laws are fairly executed, that
is the same penalty for their infrac
tons are applied to all men alike
without regard to social or financial
standing in the community the admin
istration Of government falls far short
of its highest duty,
Because Of the persistent violation
and open defiance of law by the liquor
interest of the state and nation
too many people hayo the idea
that when one urges law enforce
ment he speaks solely of the duo exc
cution of the laws made for the sup
preston of the liquor traffic That is
unfortunate. In our zeal to abolish
the ubiquitous liquor traffic many are
liable to overlook the fact that there
are other laws just as necessary, some
of them even more essential. for the
preservation of life, liberty and prop
erty No law is self executing. Ad-
ministrators must be chosen for their
enforcement, In speaking of the ne
ccssity for law enforcement The Her
aid takes the broader view and insists
that every law. duly and constitution.
ally enacted by the representative of
free people, should be fairly, impair
TALLY and justly executed.
If there are laws in Columbia that
dtt nut otStttiItu nv pubic sentiment
and which are observed alone in the
breach they ought to be repealed with.
out delay. But so long as they are on
the statute books there can be no com.
promise, they should be enforced.
There should he no favorites. The
merchant or other citizen who obeys
the laws because he believes in the
virtue of obedience to constituted au-
thority, is entitled to equal protection
and that he cannot have unless, others
are made TO observe the laws.
There is no denying the fact that
