Ifcvivinr business

It HERE may be very little that govern
ment may do OF an affirmative charac-
ter TO make business better, stimulate the
flow of trade or encourage men TO plunge
into muddicd industrial waters, put there
is much government may do to halt the
march OF prosperity This was never Illus
tod more forcibly than at the present
time when ali agencies OF the adminiStra-
tiOn are engaged IN CoaNing Business men
to resume old time activity, while Congress,
supported by that same administration, is
unsettling almost every line OF trade by
trying TO drive through an absolutely in
dcfonsible tariff bill
Executive departments In Washington are
watching hopefully for every staw that
would point to resumption OF business
and to return of prosperity. These depart
ments seize upon both the significant and
tho insignificant facts about the present
situation in an effort 10 beguile men into
believing that times are growing better.
Times are better than they We're. OF hat

moving forward by slow and painful steps
nOtwit hStanding the blight added by

OF war. More people are making money
now and fewer are unemployed than six or
ten months ago. but these people owe moth

have ended all tariff legislation for this
session. If he had said loudly enough what
he has said in whispers about yetoing the
soldier bonus bill and if he had demanded.
rs he had right TO demand. that the coal
strike not take place he would have con-
trihutcd heavily TO better business Cond
tions. He would have relieved the minds
of thousands OF men. of uncertainty. on the
one hand. and tens Of thousands OF strike

1t is not to be assumed for a minute. OF

men, In their eagerness to save Mr.. Daugh-
erty and to make political capital have
turned the whole affair into farcically
partisan mahenver. Forced into support
of an investigation by two members who are
hominally Republicans. but I'm the present
instance virtually party outlaws, the ma
jor'ty leaders have made It plain that tha
purpose of the inquiry Will he TO expose
Democrats and shield Republicans, and Il
may hardly be questioned that they speak
for Mr. Daugherty. In the meantime, not
knowing exactly how things Will turn out,
they are extending themselves to create tho
impression that many mon prominent in
the Wilson administration soon will find
themselves In stripes. and that the Demo-
Gratis in Congress, forcsoolna this, are NOV

Mr.. Daugherty's own case
This turn of affairs perhaps was inevi-
table. but II Is disgusting. nevertheless. The
country may expect neither honesty nor
thorouRhness from an investigation launched
in such spirit. Tho best answer to the
Campbell and Mondel insinuations is, of
course. tho fact that tho Democrats have
not opposed an investigation, but, rather,
have pressed for an invest lgation on n scale

to accept The Republican game Ia 80 trans
