and they had no more thought of
their errand than have of the

They might be there to this very

riding on the merry-go-round. Nancy
was on a wooden camel and Nick
was on a dragon, riding around to

EDITORIAL
CONDITIONS BAD, BUT WHY?

IN ONE of the most impressive, most
courageous, and most sane address
es ever heard in Americas, w. },
Smith, Battle Greek, Mich, banker,
who is a guest of friends in Ameri-
Gus for few. days, presented a pow
erful plea for new deal for busl-
ness in America at the joint dinner
of the three civic clubs at the Tea
Room last night. Mr.. Smiths talk
was eloquent and had the ring OF
uthoritativeness. He spoke of the
need for great leadership in thi
country; of the need for Leadership
by men of experience, not theories;
men who have learned from actual
contact with the world. He depre-
Gated the lack of great ability in
congress and scored the tendency to
government by commissions. Among
others he attacked the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the Fed
eral Trade Commission as bodies
made up of meddling men of very
limited individual ability, any one Of
whom is incapable of conducting sue
cessfully himself any business of any
considerable size He asserted that
what business needs to keep pace
with the demands of the country in
industrial development is to be given
a free hand.
Mr.. Smith is exactly right-in
theory. We have entirely too many
boards and commissions; business is
throttled by political control of yari-
Gus kinds and success, as he says, is
penalized by surtaxes and otherwise.
1t is truly a condition to be depre-
Gated, and has come about largely
through the ascendancy of the demo-
gogue.
But Mr.. Smith must not forget
that big business after all, is very
much to blame for conditions as they
exist. He bases his conclusions on
the assumption that big business is
honest. So it is, most of it. But
there have been glazing examples of
dishonesty and corruption in big bust
ness, and these have fostered pub.
lie distrust, created the conditions on
which the demogogues fattened, and
brought about the troubles in which
big business finds itself today. In
mentioning the government control
of railroads, it is not easy to for
get the New York, New Haven and
Hartford scandal of few years ago,
a memorable example of gross and
wlltul dishonesty in big business.
r And there are others. These exam
pies, although 50 per cent of even
more of hig business is honest, have
brought about the conditions which
have made possible the situation in
which big business-and the nation
itself as result-finds itself.
Mr.. Smith is right in his conclusion
that the way to correct the evils that
beset us is for the best citizens ev-
erywhere to take an active part in
popular government. An American
citizen, ne says rightly, has no higher
duty, and until he does give time and
attention to that duty above all other
calls, he has no right to expect bet
ter things from his government.
