 Congress can legislate in way which will benefit the consumers of
 beef, says the Dallas News. But it is hardly possible for Congress to legislate in way which will at once raise the price of beef steer and lower the price of beefsteak. Never theless, Congress seems to be acting under the spur of those two contra
 dictory purposes in its effort to regulate the packing house business. It is trying to conceive scheme of regulation which will reconcile two yirreconcilable interests, that oH the n roducers and that of the consumers, 1t might be possible if the packers the middlemen in this transaction, were extorting an inordinate profit for the service they render to limit their levy on the business to . reas- onaflc profit, But even if that wer. possibls, Congress would find the fSsk of forcing q fair division of vliss way wrested from the packers bS q kens the producers and the con " 1Ssi's @ II would find f impossible

ToPsY TURvY.

In one days record of the doings of the world we find items justify ing the belief that in the revolution of our globe part of the time we are standing with feet up and head down. Over at Kiel in Germany naval units depose all of their of ficers, including the chief of the station, and put deckhands in their places. The new officers then agree to take their orders from the civil ian governor. In Kansas normal school students organize committees to inflict chastisement upon the pro- fessors because the professors neg lected or refused to obey orders of the student body. Some of the hap less instructors, unable to escape the vigilance of the rebellious youths, are ducked in the lake so viciously that they may think twice in the future before they again vio- late any student manifesto.
 While these altogether incongru- ous events are being enacted a great organization of the nation comes out with demands upon all possible presidential nominees for statements of all money they will spend or that will be spent for them in the nomination quest. Now, there oil ;,, Sbi,. demand, but, to the contrary, it is entirely in line with present thought anent the purity of public service and the accountability feven the highest public servant to their pop, ular masters. However, the request might seem strange when we con slider that only few years ago de- mands usually came from the other side upon various organizations for contributions instead of from any organization for an explanation of contributions already received. We cannot deny that there is progl ess in the change although it is com plete reversal of the previously existing order.
 But it will be hard to reconcile the Kiel and Kansas cases with our much advertised claims of develop ment and progress in intellectual. moral, social and economic lines. IL has been said that there is too much faddism in the modern spirit and there is ample justification for the conclusion. In many cases we treat principles just the same as we dc some new idea in clothes, food amusement or whatnot. We overdo all at times. Only a few months aga self-determination was slogan that gripped the imagination of the world and seemed to lift it towards high CT things. Today there are some even who would sheer at it because others have tried to make the prin- ciple synonymous with selfish az gression. In raising self-determina tion even beyond the nth power they have gotten away entirely from prac- tical values.
 It would be interesting, no doubt could some of the great minds o1 not over decade ago revisit the scene of their labors and make sus- vcy of world conditions. Would they be joyous or would they be sad oi hcart?-Commercial-Appeal.
