indict violators of the food and fuel
control act, and late in December he
reported progress and predicted a
decline in prices.
From week to week for the past
nine months the department of JUS
tice has been issuinp statements in
tended to convince the people of the
country that something was being ac-
complished in accc: dance with the
purpose of the large powers con-
ferred and the large appropriations
made to enable Mr.. Palmer to con-
duct a campaign against proiteers
for the purpose OF reducing prices OF
the necessaries Of life.
The only outstanding and unques-
toned result of the activities of the
department of justice is the decision
rendered in the ease of the price of
Louisiana sugar, in which the de-
partment assured the sugar produc-
ers that they would not be subject to
prosecution if they charged IL or IL
cents for their product. There is
this one specific instance in which it
is clear that the action of the Attor-
ney General increased the price of a
necessity. There is no tangible or
evidence that the activity of
he department-the exercise of its
powers or the expenditure of public
money-has brought any relief to
the consuming public.
If the National Industrial Confer
ence board is correct in the Stats
tics it gathered, and there has been
/ 21 per cent increase in living costs
the past year, the statement
which that board has prepared stands
is an indictment II not a conviction

JUST A
REMINDER

We may be mistaken, of course, as
v e all frequently are, but are honest
in the belief that If n tries as best
he can to be of service to mankind
he will be rendering a service to his
God, and, indirectly. in time to him
self. Honor, honesty. optimism,
sunshine and good cheer are things
we want to get hold of and keep
close to, and help others to get them
also. You don't need to wear out the
knees of your trousers in prayer to
live up to the Fatherhood of God and
the Brotherhood of Man, and you
don't have to be like a mummy
wrapped up in carpet rags to get by
old st. Peter at the gate-Peter has
more sense than that. Live, love and
smile, for tomorrow you. er-diet.
And just let it soak into your soul
that friendship is without price, and
nothing gets and holds 1T like
SERVICE!

PHILOSOPHY
AND RELIGION

Picking up our exchanges and the
daily papers each day we see bla-
zoned in six-inch wood type the
crimes that are committed; the
progress of pro1teers; the debauch-
cry by political purchase for millions
Of dollars Of u politicians and
candidates all along the line almost
to the White House; of mans inhu-
mainly to man, until it would seem
that the angels must weep.
1t all makes one weary and sick
at heart, and very discouraged in
the task of trying to teach and live
up to the doctrine of the Fatherhood
of God and the Brotherhood of Man.
We are no pe~rfectionist. We do
not gasp the spasmodic sob nor spill
the scalding tear because all men are
not like the one who went in search
of the Holy Grail, and all women
angels with reversible wings and
the aurora borealis for a hatband,
and would probably be lonesome in
such a world. We do not expect to
see religion without cant, wealth
without want, or virtue without vice;
but we would like to see the human
race devote itself to grander aims
than following the fashions or pick
ing its own pocket while camping or
the trail of the almighty dollar. We
want to see more homes and fewer
novels, more real manly men and
fewer sissies with spats and neckties
which look like snarling coyotes
sound. We want to see more women
queens of happy homes and less
slit-skirt lounge Lizards maintain
ing limousines with sore-eyed poodles
on the front cushions.-women who
would rather have the love of their
husbands than the insolent admira-
ton of the whole he-world, and who
not know too much at 16 and too
little at so.
We want to see more men who are
not a constant reminder of a monkey
ancestry and who need only to eat
the glands to flop back to it. In
short, a race of real men, whose god
Is not gold and who would scorn
p~rofteering. political profigacy and
all the attending evils which life
just now is covered up with, even as
the sky is covered with %vultures at
any spot where the carrion rots and
testers upon the otherwise sweet,
healthful and joyous earth.
And this, in our humble opinion,
will never be until a combination of
philosophy and religion has been
brought about and mankind ~inoculat-
ed with the bacilli of education dis
titled therefrom.

RESPONSIBILITY
is PALMER,S

The announcement in recent dis
patches from Boston that after a
thorough investigation the National
Industrial Conference board had
ascertained that the cost of living has
advanced 81 per cent in the last
twelve months, makes it appropriate
to look back over the record of fail
ure In accomplishment in the depart
ment of justice.
1t will be remembered hat while
President Wilson was over in Europe
endeavoring to involve this country
in a league Of nations, or sort of
super-government to which the Unit
ed States would be subject, the peo-
pie of this country were discussing
the very domestic problem of keeping
the cost of living within reasonable
bounds. Even after his return it was
some time before President Wilson
would give attention to this subject
Finally, however, public criticism be-
came so great that he addressed con-
gress on the subject and urged such
further legislation as might be
necessary.
Attorney General Palmer appeared
before committees of congress and
outlined desired legislation, and addi-
tional power was bestowed upon him
by extensions of the Lever act. III
addition to that, appropriations fol-
prosecution of %profteers were made
in response to the Attorney Generals
request. After a cabinet conference
last August Mr.. Palmer issued q
statement declaring that he would
institute rigid enforcement of law:
relating to profiteering. On August
81 Mr.. Palmer said that he was
pleased with the government cam,
paign" and that high prices are
coming down." On September 20 tn,
department Of justice declared tina
reports from twelve states showed
cut In food prices. In the latter par
of October the Attorney General an,
