CERTAIN RETAIL PRICES CALL
For Observation-Disclosures Point
to an Understanding.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Investiga-
ton Of retail prices of food, fuel and
shoes and clothing in all parts Of the
country was ordered to-day by At
torney General Daugherty.
Mr.. Daugherty said that in many
localities prices are too high and re.
tailers' profits were "unconscionable"
and every effort would be made 10
put retail prices on the proper level.
Mr.. Daugherty INSTRUCTED Director
Burns, Of the BlEeau of5Inyestiga-
lttons, ofs tlie a9aIastic q I5ispaftment; to
assign men as soon as possible to va
rious parts Of. the country to collect
simultaneous information upon cur
rent retail prices Of food, fuel, shoes
and clothing, and at the same time
to report The Wholesale prices on
corn, wheat, beef and meats OF all
kinds on the hoof, in order that com
PARSONS might be made Of the retail
and Wholesale prices Of food.
In many parts Of the country, Mr..
Daugherty declared, retailers had or
ganizations which tried 10 keen the
prices high.
There isn't any doubt in the
world" he said, that all over .he
country retailers have an understand
ing"
The Attorney General said that,
while there were many retailers who
were not charging excessive prices,
he intended to go after organizations
operating contrary to law, and par
ticularly professional organizers who
sold new schemes for beating the law
through organizations which conceal
their real purpose behind declara-
ton Of an association to advance
competition. Results OF the depart
ments investigation, Mr.. Daugherty
said, would be used in an effort to
bring down retail prices where they
were too high. Prices, he said, would
never go down to their pre- war level,
but they could be brought into the
proper relation with reduced wages
and reduced costs Of foodstuffs.

The Harding Cabinet.

The Harding cabinet, as finally Sc
lected and announced, may not be spec
tacular in appearance-business-like
bodies seldom are-but it looks like a
capable working body, and goodness
knows that is what the country needs
in the years just ahead-a body that
can cooperate in planning and execu-
ton for the welfare Of the country
and, because we cannot escape our
q, share in that, of the world as we'll.
On the whole, though there are
points for carping partisanship to
hang it's quips upon, those who realize
that the welfare of the country is vast
ly superior to party strategy and the
fate of parties must be favcrab,y I'M
pressed with the appearance Of this
cabinet.
Even those who would have pre-
ferred Mr.. Root must admit the in
tegrity, vision, courage and capacity
of Mr.. Hughes, the new secretary of
cause there is "politician" or two in
the cabinet-though there never has
been a cabinet without "a politician
might, to be fair, take note of the
fact that the politicians abhor Mr..
Hughes and were fairly convulsed
with rage to see Mr. Hoover appoint
ed to a Harding cabinet.
Partisan opposition has picked out
Andrew w. Mellon, the secretary of
the treasury, as an especially vulnera-
BILE point because forsooth, he is very
wealthy. Yet Mr.. Mellon appears by
his very wealth and the means by
which he amassed it to be man Of
affairs and shrewd and careful
planncr, with a genius fer organiza-
ton. Surely the government Of the
United States needs such men, and in
fact it ought never to be content with
lesser men. Opposition TO Mr.. Mellon
presumably is based on the assump-
ton that, having been associated with
men Of wealth, his inclinations and
prejutsices will favor that class. Well
the time to shout alarms about that is
when Mr.. Mcllen is discovered opening
the back door Of the trca sury vaults
to q masked band Of "magDates;" and
in the meantime the fair and sensible
thing to do is to assume that the coun-
try is mighty lucky to be able to com
mand the services of a man who has
proved his capacity by such a long
and fruitful business experience as he
has had.
In appointing Henry G. Wallace to
be secretary of agriculture Mr.. Hard
inc had to undergo a hot attack from
the packing interests, which he. would
hardly have withstood if he had been

the serf of special interests which
partisans affect to believe him.

the serf of special interests which
partisans affect to believe him.
The appointment of Mr.. Hoover is
of course that one that will please the
widest circle Of people, not only be-
cause people believe in him and be-
cause he has shown capacity for pub
lie service which it would be tragedy
to see lost to the public through will
full neglect, but because in selecting
him Mr.. Harding showed his ability
to rise fearlessly above the threats
Of powerful members of his own party.
With Mr.. Hays and Mr.. Daugherty,
the ''politicians' in the new cabinet,
the Herald has already dealt. If they
can bring to their departments as
much shrewd ability and seasoned
judgment of men and affairs as they
have demonstrated in politics, the
country will be the gamer. These, as
we'll as the others-Mr. Weeks, Mr..
DENLY, Senator Fall and Mr.. Davis
should fairly be Judged on their per-
formances in office rather than on any
body's prejudgment Of them, which
like as not is based on very faulty
knowledge.
The Harding administration has a
hard row to hoe, and it needs all the
help it can get. The cabinet looks like
a body Of men that, on the whole, are
capable of helping it great DEAL And
since the success of the administration
in the best sense means the welfare of
the nation and Of every man, woman
and child in it, this if ever is the time
to forget politics and partisanship,
and for all to wish it we'll and with
deed and thought and word to work
honestly to help it do wcll-Duluth

''IT WAS A WINNER s4@

''I'm Enjoying Perfect Health Since

has certainly proved winner for me"
said w. G. Jargenson, of 524 Essex St.,
Minneapolis, Mimi, an employee of
the Northwestern Telephone company.
Before I got hold Of Tanlac my
troubles of three years standing had
pulled me down until my work was q
daily grind and was in constant mis-
cry both day and night. My kid
neys were badly disordered and were
continually worrying me, and I had
pains in my back and joints that were
almost unbearable My sides hurt me
terribly also, and at times the pains
were so severe as to almost drive me
wild. Nothing seemed to do me any
good and I hardly see how I man
aged to hold out at my work.
"When I got Tanlac I found the
very thing I was needing, for it just
built me right up and has put me in
the very best of condition. My kid
neys no longer bother me and I never
have an ache or pain at all. In fact

men who have been interested in the
movement because Kenmare would be
almost in the center Of the proposed
new county and would stand fair
chance Of being made its county seat,
have decided that their desires
might become a reality at the election

voted on at the recall election would
work against their interests.
It is believed the proposition will
be submitted at the June primaries
next year.

Mr.. Henry Cabot Lodge.
Here are the very words he used

We can not make peace except
with the company Of our allies. 1t
would brand us with everlasting dis
