THE BEECHNUT CASE,

As reported by the press, the late decision of
the y. S. Supreme court merely adds to the con-
fusion already existing as to the right of manu-
facurers to prescribe the price at which their goods
shall be sold at retail
In the Colgate case that right was upheld, and
certain brands of soap are now sold on the express
condition that they shall not be resold at less than
the price designated by the manufacturer. A lob

taers can not buy the goods from the broker

news dispatch, looks exactly similar by the Beech

of order curbing the operations of this concern
was prescribed for the Federal Trade Commission.
Just what the law actually is today or that
subject will, therefore, require further decisions
to clarity since the distinctions drawn by the high
court are so fine spun that no ordinary morta! can
apply them.
The whole matter should be cleared up by act
of congress The notion that manufactures re-
tains right in the property which he sells and

GERMAN PROSPERITY
pensacola News.)


Travellers returning from Germany report that
the surface Of economic life there reveals little
of that national insolvency which all the world
suspects.
Mills are well stocked with orders, unemploy-
ment is diminishing and workers are asking and
obtaining higher wages. Retail shops and depart
ment stores doing record business and
every market is active.
But the buyers, observers report are spending
their money, not because they believe continued
prosperity to be assured but because they seem
convinced that complete collapse, due to currency
imitation. is not far distant. The German dis
trusts paper money. which grows ever more plen-
tiful and less valuable as a medium of exchange.
His seeming extravaganza is really form Of
boarding He will spend the last pfennig for
clothing or nOn-perishable food stuffs SO that,
when the crash does come he will have some
tangible assets which he may rely
When whole nation adopts that policy, the
whole world cannot but suffer.

FLETCHER'S VIEWS

If there is a senator from the south whose views
on all public subjects can be properly described
as sound, that man is Duncan u. Fletcher He is
cool-headed. experienced, unafraid, the last man
in the world to be stampeded, and absolutely hon
est in his convictions.
Senator Fletcher is reported as saying in pub
lie statement that the four-power treaty as it stands
is too ambiguous to be ratified. and will have to
have some reservations defining It's meaning before
it will be acceptable to him. He adds, however,
according to the report that he does not knew how
the other Democratic senators feel about it, the
matter not yet having been discussed in any but
a very informal way.
The Telegram accepts Senator Fletcher's view
for two reasons. In the FIRST place, it has the
utmost faith in his judgment; in the second it had
reached the same conclusion for itself before the
Senator spoke.
Unless the sponsors for the treaty can show ex-
actly what it means, and exactly what it IS in
tended to accomplish there is no Obligation upon
the part of any senator particularly any Demo-
cratic senator 10 vote for it, Even the fact that
he may have been strong for the league covenant,
and eager to secure association ct nations to
promote world peace, does not impose upon him
any obligations to stand for a treaty which is
ambiguous, or which, in his judgment, does not
insure the purposes for which it purpors to have
been drawn.
Senator Fleichers position, as we understand
it, is about this He says to the treaty makers,
Tell me exactly what your treaty means how it
is to be interpreted and what il is to accomplish.
and then will tell you whether am for it or
not But if the document is really so ambigu-
Gus on It's face that two such clcarheaded Repub-
lican thinkers Hughes and Harding can not
agree as to its meaning, nobody can blame the
representatives from the Democratic state of Flor

Some people inquire as to the meaning of the
word "fapper" applied of late to young girls of a
certain type The most common explanation is
that it arose from the slovenly fad prevailing
among many girls, of leaving overshoes un-
buckled, so that they flap the girls walk But
such girls were called fappers in England long
before this notion obtained its hold, so this can
hardly be the correct explanation.
The dictionary defines a happer as young
bird which has not yet learned to fy-probably
it was the sportsmen who first called the girls
by this name, as their first efforts to achieve
their place in the world seemed little suggestive
of the early laundering flights of the game birds.
These girls may seem awkward but they have
all the charm of youth "and enthusiasm. After
they become sophisticated ,they will be less gen.
une. Modern life makes the inexperience of the
fapper somewhat more obvious, because she is
less in retirement than a former generation was.
The women of former years trained to live
lives of more reserve and secusion tending to
develop personalities of neutral type, who broke
no laws of taste or conventionalty, but were not
very interesting.
The modern fapper goes to the other extreme.
She is educated fU business competition, and
must meet men even terms and she naturally
becomes Familiarity acquainted with lot of men.
She loses something OF the elusive charm of the
former generation, but her bOuyancy and activity
and good cheer win friends She no longer emu
lates the violet and sometimes is in danger of be-
coming conspicuous the sunfower, She may
seem hoydensh, but if she has good breeding she
develops refinement without losing the initia-
tive that is characteristic of her age.
