for years and finally got into awfully
weak and rundown. condition. My

the attorney general of Massac hu-

BY his attempt at partial explana-

have gotten in deeper. There have
been less than 100000 in reply cou-
pons dealt in during the past six
months by the entire Postal Union,

have made several million by this

he would have to explain some more.

Editorial Comment
The New Profiteerins Excuse.
New York Tribune)

An increase in prices, other factors
remaining the same, from the new
freight rates, is. of course, inevitable.
A new tax of SIS per capita is to De
levied. But SIS is only one per cent
of the average annual income. If the
consumer is called to pay more than
this the reason will simply be the
greed of dealers. To put up prices
more than one per cent will be indie
feasible profiteering, and nothing else.
The present high cost of living is
in no small part due to the habit OF
each middleman of passing on the
higher price with an extra profit. BY
a sort of arithmetical progression
the difference between what the pro-
Queer gets and what the consumer
pays widens. Hence agitation to
eliminate the middleman. But this is
not always. or perhaps often, practi-
cable. The middleman is COM
mercial necessity. Yet if middlemen
of the right kind are wise they will
realize that the greatest enemy of
their class is the unfair profit taker.
He brings the whole profession into
disrepute and danger.
The eXorbitant prices now asked
for food are due in large part to rank
profiteering. Any further consider
able rise in prices with freight rates
as an excuse will be clearly due to
rapacity. The Department of Justice
having threatened so often and done
nothing, we appeal to the decent mer-
chandisers to come together to con-
troll the rascals who have sneaked in
to their company. To screen them or
excuse them is to repeat the folly of
the honest policemen who would not
give away" crooked members of the
force. More than this. it makes the
business future of all merchants and
dealers unsafe.
