EFFICIENCY IN BUSINESS

North Dakota's flour mill and ele-
vator project lost 1927, 1922 dur
ing the eleven months it had been in
operation up to July /.
The loss for June alone was $780,
711.12 and the mill has actually lost
81 cents on every barrel of flour pro-
duced
The condition exists in spite Of the
fact that the mill is being operated
ab capacity in order to create a
greater output and in an effort to put
it on a paying basis.
1t is the old story repeated. Pub
lie ownership has been proved a fail
ure, yet there are still men who adj
vocate that it is an improvement over
privately owned industries.
Efficiency is sacrificed for the sake
Of lowe operating costs and the fine
hand of politics works its way into
the detrinenI of the business.
The true test of any business is
efficiency in management and when
that is lost through politics controll-
ing the jobs, there is no hope of earn
ing a legitimate profit.
In some states where the govern
ment-ownership forces are seeking to
gain the upper hand, executives Of
large corporations have been assailed
because of the large salaries they re-
ceive
This is nothing more than an APP
peal to prejudice, which is the chief
stock and trade of the demapogue
Executives of big business enter
prises are employed because of their
capability and usually there is CON
siderable competition for their SER
vices, resulting in large salaries.
Privately owned business looks for
the best, not the cheapest and public
ownership proponents seek the cheap
est regardless Of fitness for the pO-
sition, because TIT is the only argu-
ment they have.
States that have tried public own
ership Of utilities should be lesson
for every state that contemplates
such an experiment.

History of Soft Drinks

There is an interesting story about
how the first soft drinks happened 10
be made Back in the days Of the
American Revolution a man named
Townsend Speakman was running
little drug store in Philadelphia. He
supplied medicines for Washingtofs
army. and was pretty well known. One
day doctor asked him to I'LL a pre-.
scrIption of carhonated water Speak
man succeeded In compromising the
connection. The Doctors patient liked
the new water. Soon one patient after
another passed the word around and,
before long. Spealyman had lots Of
calls for the new medicine water.
But Speakman was keen business
man and conceived the idea OF flavor
ing the medicine water with fruit
Juices to Increase its popularity. The
plan worked. Its popularity spread
like wildGre That was the beginning
OF the carbonated soft drink business.
The soft drink business has been
growing ever since Last year, for ex
ample. the people in the United States
consumed 8.OOO.OO0OOO bottles Of non
alcoholic beverages. an average Of 75
bottles for every man, woman and
child Progressive Grocer

SHORT SPAN OF LIFE
WAS ARTEMUS WARDS
Americas First Hunlorist
Called Home Early.

April 20 was the ninetieth anniver.
sary of the birth OF Americas first
humorist, Charles Farrar Browne. "a
short life and a merry one" describes
the earthly sOiOurn OF this early col
umnlSt, born in Waterford. Me, in
1894 He lived but 30 yenrs, but in
this time convulsed America and Eng.
land by the fQuips generated by a
mind as quantity put together as were
those Of Shakespeare's clowns.
Browne was newspaper humOriSt
and lecturer II was while conducting
a column on a Cleveland newspaper
that he invented his "Artemus Ward
and His Wax Fggers." When his
tabled Snowman became famous,
Browne took Tor himself the nnme OF
his well-known character. Gays the
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
In the fabulous flfties" and "stOried
sixties" he toured this country as a
lyceum entertainer.
Wards drollery and eccentric humor
were exercised even up to the last few
days Of ehbing life. He had just been
honored by membership In the famous
Savage club. London was at his feet
and he was only thirty-three years
old.
During those days when consump-
ton was taking its toll, the candle of
life burning lower and lower, one Of
the troubles OF the nurses was TO
make the patient take his medicine.
Among the prescriptions was one Of
extreme bitterness 10 which he great
ly objected Filled with concern a
friend, Tom Robertson, poured out a
dose of the compound and held out
the spoon.
"My dear Tom," said Artemus, PRO
testlngy, Il can't take that dreadful
stuff"
Come. come" said Robertson.
Take 1t. my dear fellow, just for my
sake. You know would do anything

Then You take It,"
He died at Southampton. England,
March @, 1867.
Seitg says OF him: at remains a
notable fact tina: no other American
ever so impressed himself upon the
life Of London"
What more appropriate in closing
this snatch of biography than drol-
lery-the way he closed his book Of

THE HERRIN RIOTS

Violence, unless 1t is properly sup
pressed and the perpetrators proper
~ punished, leads 10 more violence.
More violence leads to anarchy
and anarchy breeds revolutions. In
turn, revolutions destroy govern
ments and pafalyze industry.
There is no occasion for revolution
IN this country and there is no ex-
cuse for violence.
Apparently there are elements in
the city of Herrin, H.. where rioting
recently took place, causing the loss
of several lives that should be sup
pressed by law without fear OF favor.
The fact that this Is not the first
outbreak in that community makes it
plain that the disturbing element
should be rooted out and made to
suffer the consequences of the law,
which is supposed to protect the pub
lie from such outrages.
That the disturbance happened to
be caused this time by Khan and an
ti-klan adherents does not figure ma
terially in consideration of the situa-
ton as it exists there.
Before, when many lives were sac
crificed on the altar of riot. it was a
quarrel between union and non-union
forces.
The most recent rioting is simply
manifestation of the unhealthful
condition that exists there.
Unless the sore on the body poll
tic is thoroughly healed, it will break
out again at the first excuse, and it
may not be over the question of the
union or the Ku Kluz Khan.
No set of men, regardless of what
organization they represent, is great
er than our country and its laws.
Those laws were made to be obeyed
by all people and no one is immune
from their application.
No public official can expect to re-
main in office long without the con
fidence of the people, and that conf
dence endures only through fair
and impartial enforcement of the
law.
NO individual or organization can
expect to retain the confidence and
sympathy of the people unless there
is a wholesome respect for all of the
laws under which all of the people are
required to live.
If the organizations involved are
powerless to prevent acts of lawless-
ness, ii is clearly the duty of the CON
stituted authorities to put an end to
it without further ado.
1t requires years of care and train
ing to produce an adult life and much
toll and expense to create valuable
property. Neither sould be destroy
ed at the within of irresponsible ele-
ments in society.
Let the law be enforced agains.
