The failure OF the supreme court
to sustain, the Lever act makes 1t inn
portant that the state legislature
should enact laws against proAteerr
ing and extortion. II Is no greater
moral offence to hold up a man on
the highway and rob h:.n of his
money than Il is to take money from
him in trade by extortionate chergges
1t makes no difference whether the
profteer is a merchant who charges
an unreasonable profit, doctor or
lawer who collects fee greater than
his service, experience and ability
warrant, newspaper publisher who
rcbs his advertisers by unjust rates,
or any other person, the act OF prof.
teering ought to be made crime and
punished as such. 1t would not be
an easy law to enforce but the fact
that such a law was on the statute
books and could be invoked to punish
"a fragrant offence would have a deter
rent and healthy effect.

Scotland Neck, n. c., April 20, 1921
Editor The Commonwealth:
My dear Sir:
Please allow me space in your good
paper to call the attention of your
readers to a matter which [ am sure
very few have thought of, and when
once called to their attention, they
will show that the people of Scotland
Neck still know how to do th1Dk
| just as they have always done.
First, let me say that with the most
excellent editorial work of yourself
and the active business management
Of your publisher, Mr. Clee Vaughan
you have given to the people of the
| town a most excellent paper, which l
am sure We all appreciate.
For some days past, your publisher,
Mr.. Vaughan has been under a heavy
strain on account of the serious illness
Of his wife, which we all regret very
much and he has our deepest sym
pathy. Now it has occurred to me
that newspaper like all other enter
prises must have money to exist on
and now, while Mr.. Vaughan can not
possibly give his attention to his sub
rcription list and collect for the paper,
don t you think it would be a good
idea for our people to rally to our
friend and call at your office and
make settlement for all that thew are
III arrears and also for a year or AT
least six months in advance. Of
course, Mr.. Vaughan is not asking any
one for help and has absolutely no
knowledge that this letter is being
written and published but even If
that were the case our people would
not hesitate to raise five hundred dol
liars II necessary, or more, in order to
help him in a time Of distress and
why not pay for something that we all
recognize as a good thing and in the
mean time help a friend whose nearr
i heavy
| do not claim that the act Of paw
ing up our subscriptions will help Mr..
Vaughan in sense, but it will Just
make him feel better that our people
are in sympathy with him and wish
to express it in some way. and anv
act Of kindness to one in distress is
always appreciated.
: Now all of us who sympathize with
Mr.. Vaughan, and love our own wives
} lets rally to him TODAY.
| enclose check for one years sub
scription and trust that MANY Others
, will do likewise

large number Of out-of- town shoppers
mentioned and it seemed to us that
this was rather notable. We asked u
merchant this morning if he had not
noted these buyers were increasing.
He said it was a fact and a very
pleasant one, as they always buy FOR
cash and it brings that much addi-
tional money into the town. This
means one of two things; that the
stores in Scotland Neck have gained
reputation for carrying a line of
goods superior to those in other places.
or that the merchants in other towns
are not buying and furnishing their
customers what they want. We pre-
fer to believe that the stores in SEQ.
liant Neck have gained reputation
for being far ahead Of those in othe,

qualities of human nature instead O operating in harmony herewith

qualities of human nature instead of operating in harmony herewith
 The engineer who digs a tunnel, or drains a swamp, or irrigaates a desert does not begin operations without a careful and scientific study of all the surrounding conditions Sometimes he finds a direct method of approach the most suitable, some times an indirect approach. and his success is measured by his ability to adjust his methods to the peculiar circumstances in each case. Senti- ment finds no place in his plans. lie does not ignore or attempt to vio- lently suspend the operation of na- turaI laws, but seeks to utilize them in the attainment of his purpose. He does not attempt to destroy the nat ural tendency of water to flow down. hill, but makes use of a fall of Wa ter at one place to carry water up- hill at some other place.
 The reformer of political and so- ciaI institutions, in his anxiety for direct and immediate results, rarely takes time to patiently study the par ticular conditions involved. refuses to be bound by the laws of human na- ture, and will not consider any other method of approach than the age-old formula ''it is forbidden which in the history of civiliza ton has failed as often, if not oftener, than it has succeeded.
 Some evils of the body polite are of such a nature that the only proper course of procedure is to totally pro- hibit them, but others are like the tares in the wheat that cannot be directly uprooted without uprooting the wheat also.
 Human nature in the mass can be lead by education and persuasion; it cannot be successfully driven. Laws that are passed by tricky poli- tcal methods or adopted with the grudging assent of a bare mai ajorfty, and which attempt to violently up- root worId-old prejudices or beliefs in a day retard rather than advance genuine reform

PATRONIZING THE WOMEN
(The Milwaukee JournaI)

Men seem to have more trouble than women in the read djustment to women's new political status The superior male can't forget his former superiority and maintains a patroniz- ing attitude warranted neither by the Nineteenth Amendment nor the evil dence. A Wisconsin Sudge points out :n a fatheriy way that jurors have very serious questions to decide and that "the jury box is not playhouse or place for a tea party or a coffee club''
 The. anxious Judge need have no fear that women jurors will make a farce" of justice. Their acts in other fields have been far from farcicaI. The Judge cites no evidence of the neeo of his solemn warning that wome,.
 must realize their responsibility and indeed the evidence is all on the other side. A body of people who reorgan- ize their suffrage clubs into societies for the study of public questions to qualify them to vote intelIigent1y can hardly be accused of assuming new duties in a frivolous mood. When have men made as conscientious an effort to fit themselves for the ballot
