the interests of the public demand
that prices come down to normal level
so that industry may resume and the
burdens of the people be lightened.
The operation of natural laws is in
this direction. and 1t can only be OBJ
structed by the arbitrary action OF
illegal combinations in restraint of
trade. They must be effectively sup
pressed.
In the ordinary course of events
competition will be keen during the
next few years, for the very obvious
reason that industry has been de-
pressed to a state where heavy vol
ume of business is necessary to make
good balance sheet. Competition
means reasonable prices, and the pub
unc is entitled to them. With the re-
storation of reasonable and stable
prices will come a resumption of acti-
vities along all lines-building, man.

with 1t an increased demand for labor
with peaceful and prosperous sur
roundings.
If the profiteers are eliminated, IL
legal combinations suppressed and

mic ills with which America is afflict-
ed. The patient should be given every
opportunity for quick recovery.

Moore Fairbanks is less kindly re-
eeiyed by the emotional public than
she was few years ago. One critic
says she has lost her baby-stare,
that she is growing old and no long
er fits the part of childlike inno-
cence. Others say that the begin
ming of her downfall was "Suds.'
In this she did not play the baby
doll but made up as an ugly child of
the slums and took the part so well,
that when she endeavors to come
back Through the Back Door," the
critics can still see the lines she en-
phasized in "Suds." Another says
that the mercenary public lacks the

DRIVE OUT
THE PROFITEERS

TWO witnesses appearing before the
Lockwood investigating committee at
Buffalo and representing two trade
organizations dealing in building
materials promised the probers that
their organizations would at once dis
band and desist from any attempt to
fix prices. At the same time a COM
mittee of the National Association of
Sheet Metal Contractors, in conven-
ton at Pittsburgh, reported that bust
ness was drifting to more COMPETE
tive basis and that there is not now
and there probably will not be for
several years to come any such flood
tide of profits and wages and expan-
sion of credits as has been witnessed
in the last five years."
These are favorable symptoms
which indicate an improvement in
business and give promise OF re-
turn to normal conditions. The
trade organization representatives
who readily promised dissolution to
avoid prosecution have seen the error
of their ways and observed the warn
ing signals in time. The dealers in
sheet metal merely voice in their re-
port distinct tendency that is appar-
ent on every hand.
The orgy of extravaganza Is over
and the day of the profiteer is COM
ing to an end. Prices are shrinking
to normal and the men, corporations
or organizations who resist this pro-
cess and attempt to maintain prices
at unreasonable levels through arti-
ficial means are standing upon dan
gerous ground.
Much good has been accomplished
by the Lockwood committee of the
New York legislature. which under
took to break up trade combinations
which were conspiring to hold up
prices and block industrial readjust-
ment for thenr own personal gains.
The publicity given to these conspira-
cies has proved highly beneficial, and
the prosecutions that have resulted
have instilled into the hearts of the
profiteers healthy respect for the
law.
What has been done in New York
should be undertaken in every other
part Of the country. All the forces of
government-Federal, State and local
should be exerted toward breaking
up combinations which fix prices and
tend to respect competition. United
States district attorneys everywhere
ought to encourage and cooperate
with local movements along this line
and the Federal Trade Commission
should give its support.
For more than five years the people
of this country have endured a rule
of high prices such as was never
witnessed before. Profiteering has
been rampant in all lines Of business
and the general rule has been to
charge all the traffic would bear"
Now that conditions have changed,
following the close of the war, with
millions of men out of work. wages
shrinking and taxes still very high,

An eastern editor has conducted a

he has found 270 organizations and
associations in Washington and New

circulars, each purporting to be in
behalf of some worthy cause. From
societies for the protection of fishing
worms to associations to furnish free
soap to the Patagonians, these gentle
men are raking in the coin and living
like lords. Some of the organizations
are worthy, of course. But majority
of them are doing nothing more than
furnishing nice, soft, easy jobs for
mea and women who ought to be
spending their time helping along
production in this country. Many of
these letters and circulars come to
