PRoF1TEERING is NOT NEW.

Centuries of legislation against
Iprofiteering, known under various
names, the Christian Science Monitor
points out, have never succeeded in
preventing it or in exercising anything
but temporary control If it. The
medieval coin-clipper was a profiteer
in his degree, but even tho the PEN
atty for the offense was being boiled
alive. coin-clipping went on until it
became an impossibility, from quite
other reasons than legal ones, so that
where, as in China, it can still be prac
ticed with moderate safety and sue
cess. it is practiced today The only
real hope of destroying profiteering is
to destroy the wish for Illicit gain.
and this is a matter not SO much of
Legislation as of education. AS long
as the desire for Illicit profit remains.
legal protection against it will, of
course. have to be given to the public.
But the utmost that can be locked for
from this legal protection is an amel.
ioration in the quantity. but not the
quality, of the offense.
For it must be remembered. says
the Monitor, that there is absolutely
nothing new in profiteering; it is pre-
cisely as old as the word dishonesty.
The laws of remote ages and of all
nations are full of enactments for the
protection of the buyer, enactments
changed, renewed and increased or de-
creased. from century to century. and
from decade to decade, simply because
profiteering remains what it always
has BEEN an effect, which no legal en-
actment can hope to abolish. and
which can only be abolished thru the
acceptation of a different standard of
honesty.
The buying and selling of horses,
for instance. has always been sur
rounded by chicanery of various de-
scriptions. with the result that the
palming off of an unsound horse has
been held to be not so much discredit-
able as artistic. with the result that a
dealer who would think himself per-
fectly justified in Disgusting the age
of horse, would not hesitate to ex-
press the most righteous indignation
against another dealer who profiteered
In oats. There is seen the hopeless. in
consistency of the human mind, which
makes corners in honesty just as it
does in sugar, and terms one. form of
dishonesty legitimate and another
criminal.

ors are burdened today over the crit
icaI needs of our world. That SO
many persons are splicitous about the
times is the surest evidence that what
is wrong will be made right.
Gideon wanted, only to be sure that
he was called of God, and taht he was
following the right course. When
person is sincerely anxious to know
the divine will, God will accept almost
any test, as He did with Gideon, in
the case of the burnt offering and Of
the fleece. 1t is inspired Scripture
which says, "Test and see that the
Lord is good" The time to be rash is
after reasonable caution.
Like locusts the Midianites came
down from the east, on foray. Then
was Gideon's opportunity, and he
sounded a trumpet call to all the
faithful of the land. The response
proved, as is the case on every such
occasion, that there are frien is of
the good cause beyond count or expec
tation. Always God has His loyal le
gions. More than thirty thousand
lsraelites answered the summons of
Gideon.
Evidently it was the religious note in
Gideon's patriotism that made appeal
to this~hosf. They knew him as
contender for Jehovah. They trusted
him, but they trusted more his trust
AS Bayard Taylor sang:
"He who would lead must first himself be
Who would be loved. be capable of love
Beyond the utmost he receives; who claims
The rod of power must first have bowed
his head.
And. being honored, honor what's above:
! This know the mon who leave the world
their Names
Paradoxically. the thousands who
needed Gideon's call were too many
for the divine purpose. They could
easily assume that it was their might
that had overthrown the Midianites.
Not a conventional eastern song of
victory, but a "RecessionaP' was to be
the music of this anticipated triumph.
God wanted the people to know that
He was fighting for them, and that
He is not always on the side of the
strongest battalions. So all who cared
, to return home, some twenty thou
sand, were allowed to do SO, leaving
ten thousand behind.
Still they were too many. There
must be no room for human vain
glory after this battle. A rigid and
i unique, yet appropriate, process of
selection went on. This was to be a
victory of faith and fitness. So only
those soldiers who drank on the run,
as it were, STOPPING down only so far
as necessary to lift a handful of water
7
ready to fight even while drinking:
no foe could take them by surprise.
The others, who abandoned precau-
ton, and kneit down to drink, were
rejected. So Gideon went into battle
with three hundred men.
Waging war by psychology is no
modern invention of the Germans.
Gideon tried it out successfully. For
with his hidden lamps, and his stimuli
taneouslv blown trumpets and his
trained shout of the battle slogan, he
threw the Midianites into a panic,
which caused them to turn their
swords against one another. and to
flee in utter fout. God and Gideon
had won a victory over the oppressers
in their might, by the aid of a few fit
soldiers. For then, as now, the battle
is not to the strong-Germany should
have won the war, by all military rules
but to the faithful fired by a great
ideal who fight on the side of God
and righteousness.

look like leather; their eyes are faded;
their hair, thin and grizzled, blows
like witch locks around their faces;
they humble with toothless gums and
sunken mouths; their clothes are rag
ged and dirty. Sometimes they have
even tried to forget their misery in
drink and ribaid songs and bias
phemous curses issue from their lips.
It~fs hard to realize that such an
old crone as one of these was ever a
woman, that she was ever young and
pretty, and soft and dimpied. 1t is
hard to realize that she ever loved or
was loved; that anybody ever waited
/ in the dusk to kiss those faded lips
that any mans hand ever caressed
/ that frowsy hair; that a babe ever
nestled on that Withered breast; that
such one ever had part in the great
lot of womanhood. To-
Here is old age robbed of its reward,
without the warm sfireside and the
easy chair which the work of life
time should have secured it; without
the protection and love of children
that was her due as the price of her
motherhood. 1t is old age with no
safe, snug fiarbor in which to drop
anchor at the end of the stormy voy-
age of life. and as look at it, L thank
God that such an old age never came
| to my mother, and 1 pray Him that it
may never come to me.
Sometimes l go to the opera and
see another old woman, sitting in her
velvet, lined box.
She is fat, and prosperous, and over
fed to the point of repletion and her
superabundant flesh is laced into a
straight front corset that is an instru-
ment- of torture that essays in vain to
give her portly, middle age the slen-
| der figure of sixteei.. On her red and
pudgy neck and arms is plastered a
fortune in jewels. Her hair is dyed
a wonderful warm young auburn. Her
checks are painted; her eyes bright
ened with belladonna; her decollette
dress is fairy robe made of simmer
! ing silk, and lace and embroidery.
| From head to foot she is work of
art on whom masseurs, manicures,
complexion specialists, hair dressers,
corsetieres and costumers have ex-
pended their choicest skill. All that
money and human ingenuity can do to
ward off age, and conceal it's ravages
| has been done and as she sits in her
box she smirks, and smiles. and flirts
and ogles, and apes the manners and
| graces of girls young enough to be her

AN,ExPENs1vE. system.

1t appears to be the consensus of
opinion among men who are doing
business on large scale that the gov
ernments tax system is causing the
manufacturer, wholesaler and retailer
to increase his profits to an outra-
seous sum in an effort to make the
same profits upon his present output or
sales as he made previous to the war,
with the'result that by the time it gets
to the consumer the price has reached
a mark not at all in proportion to the
actual cost of the article.
OF course, the present condition of
high prices is not altogether attrib-
utable to the excess profits law, but
we shall not get far in an effort to
reduce the high prices until the law
is made so plain that every one will
know what he must pay. and will not
be making an effort twelve months in
the year to make the public pay each
month the excess profit tax that he
must pay at the end of the twelve
months.
Inordinate profits due to the tax
law combined with the extravaganza
of the buying public are illustrated in
figures made public from time to
time. For instance, the net profits
of one of the largest shoe manufac-
turers of the nation increased last
year 1919 per cent, in spite of the
fact that the employees had very high
wage increases. A maker Of shirts in
creased his net income S4.5 per cent
The United Drug company made a
jump OF 70.5 per cent. The Corn
Products Refining company showed
an increase of 5s.5 per cent. The
Stutz Motor Car company, which
makes at $2,so0 car. increased its net
profits 1855 per cent.
Since the signing of the armistice,
the American people have spent in
diligently not less than $500, 900, 600,
say figures from the federal records.
More than 81, 600, 600, 000 was spent for
6S7, Ss7 spent for chewing gum. For
pianos, piano players. photographs
and records, s1O4,446. 724. For jew
elry, S274.562. 1850. For the theater
$5O7.7s2.45s.sO.
An enlightening part of the revela-
ton. which is afforded by the luxury
tax" which went into operation May
/. last, is the evidence that the people
of the United States have paid not less
| than &2,5Oo,0O0 for more expen-
sive il not better grades than they
needed. on the twenty items that made
up the list.

easier way to you,
Pay no heed unto his counsel, spurn his
plea to stop and rest.
Nothing's good enough. remember, if you
haven't cone your best.
If little more of effort and little extra
care
Would improve the task you're doing, give
it promptly then aud there:
Take tha longer route to splendor, take the
harder road to fame
For duty that is sighted is a blight upon
Your name
Never leave a thing you've started till
you know you've done it we'll.
It's your honor and your eourag that your
finished work Will tell;
There are times when toll is irksome, and
perfection seems afar:
But remember by your labor men shall
know you you are.
Heed no man who ceuRsels Sinking, Here

By the pathway of Indifference one shall

A. The postoffice department SAYS that
the sealed mail of inmates of the County
Home is as fully protected from unlawful
opening as the mail of any other citizen
The mere fact that these inmates mostly
former tax payers, are SO unfortunate as
to seek the shelter of the Home gives the
superintendent no license to interfere with
their letters for the purpose of prying into
their secrets further than he has TO obtain
letters of any other citizen for that pur-
pose.
