BLAMING THE MERCHANT

If the sugar equalization board
permits the Wholesale dealers to go
from nine to eighteen cents a pound
for sugar and then refuses to permit
the retailer to make more than a
cent pound profit on his sales who
is really the profiteer and who is
to blame for high sugar? Can any
one lay the blame on the retailer?
As FOR us, we refuse to take the
Init and the general public has the
same idea about it,
Those in charge of sugar control
have permitted a tremendous in
crease in the price of sugar as it is
delivered to the retail dealer, The
whole rise lies between the jump
from the raw product to the finish at
the refineries. After it goes to the
retailer, the margin of profit, so far
rs we have been informed is but
reasonable one. This is the story OF
high sugar.

LIBRARY IN DooLY

Shame upon Dooly! There isn't
Library building within her
borders. We are making progress
! along all other lines but here is
one of the most important needs
grossly neglected. Every child
and adult in the country should
have access to good literature.
The public library is the only
way 10 give it to them. Every
thing that is possible should be
done to encourage reading among
all classes. There is not a better
way to improve citizenship

thousands of persons would be

would be affected and every form OF
business activity reduced to a more

blaming economic conditions and in
flated currency for high prices, can
not logically make the merchant the
scapo-gaot for circumstances over
which tho merchant evidently has
no control"
It is not the merchant. especially
the retail merchant, who is at fault,
His business, generally speaking is
on a fair competitive basis. The
trouble is raised by the middle men
and the profiteers who step i'll at
a point where they are likely to keep
hidden from the public. Millions
of profit takers have developed in
the commodities markets and in
the real necessities of life since the
war started and since people have
found that victimized public would
stand for almost. anything.
The retailer is not at fault and he
should lend his time to defending
himself. When the public finds
where the real trouble is in pro
fitecring, then it is very nearly Ger
fIin a remedy will be offered. the

WHICH WAY TO SUCCESS?

IONS which are going on in the news
papers of the country, There is IL
rerfect clear voice in favor Of be.
rending the railroads from one end
u the country to the other. That the
nllc will have u widely different
attitude toMlrds the railroad when
they are again in The lands Of
private owners. is everywhere ap-
parent
1t begins to appear that no sort
of undermining of wage 9caINs FOR
employees will be undertaken at
the present time. The railroads are
not meeting expenses now and that
fact makes aomc changes necessary.
Eventually expenses must h. cut
or income must be increased. That
is certain. The private owners can
operate the railroads for less money
than can the government, but viii
do it?
Tho Philadelphia Public Ledger
reminds the public That we used to

eve are about to enter upon
new phase of our relationship to the
railroad. We shall do so Wits 2, vast
amount OF new knowledge acquired
largely during the war when we have
tried to manage these public utilities
ourselves. We shall also do so at a
time when our railroads will be in
very special need of our sympathetic
cooperation, our intelligent appecia-
ton of their problems and 1ifficul-
ties, and our active assistance in
getting back to prewar efficiency.

Is entirely possible for Il railway not

Mr.. Sherley, director Of finance for
the Railroads Administration, that
we have piled up neat little def
cit of $646,0O0 600 during our two
short years of physical possession
of the roads.
Mr.. Hale Holden, regional direc-
tor for the Central West and erst-
while president of the Chicago Bur

should spend 81 1000, 100000 a year for
at least a five-year period in order
to provide the country with an ade'

he thinks that they can easily raise
, the money if the governmental at

friendly. That is, they must be per

YOUR CHILD MAY BE NEXT

A coroner's jury in Polk county
has held Fred Riley and Sidney Or
ansky jointly responsible for the
deaths of Miss Genevieve Bolander
and little Elizabeth Bartlett, three
years old, who were killed as the re-
suit of being run over by car driv-
en- by one of these men while racing,
SO it is said, on West Grand avenue
in Des Moines about month ago.
The story of the killing of this lit
tie girl is one of the most pitiful,
and it's occasion the most useless,
that has appeared in the newspa-
pers recently. A charge of man
slaughter is said to have been filed.
Miss Bolander was crossing the
street with the little girl when the
cars bore down upon her in the
dusk. She was unable to dodge
both of the cars. The baby died
within few minutes after the acct
dent, and the young woman the fol-
lowing day. The mitigating cir
cumstance for the defendants is that
they remained to give aid after hav-
ing taken two lives, apparently for
no other cause than the qualification
of their own lust for speed
If found guilty, they should have
the limit of the law. 1t may be
said that such punishment would be
too severe for men who had no in
tention of injuring anybody. Little
Elizabeth Bartlett had no intention
of injuring anybody when she start
eed across the street on that April
evening. Her mother had no inten-
tion of injuring anybody when she
brought the little babe into the world
nor when she saw her little tot
ground beneath the wheels of the
onrushing car But they suffered.
They endured more suffering than
the law provides for the men who
brought about that suffering. Only
God and a mother can know what
that mother suffered that night.
Yet every mothers babe is placed
in the same danger if speeders are
not made to pay the penalty for
their selfishness, for it is nothing
but selfishness, unadulterated, damn
able selfishness for one person to
assume the privilege of travelling the
highways at rate of speed which
endangers the life and limb of 9TH
ers who have just as good rights as
himself. 1t is, a selfishness which
is all too commonly allowed to take
its course. All honor to the officer
of the law who takes time by the
forelock and uses the teeth provid-
ed in the traffic laws before some
life lost brings public sentiment to
the boiling point.-Ihdianola Re-
cord.
