THE KING HAS HIS WAY

Oh. who shall say to the king. Nay.

Not I! Not L.
Who shall refuse the king his way?
Not 1! Not 1!
For the king is great and the king
is strong,
And the king, you know, can do no
wrong.
a T LEAST that is the way kings
themselves seem to think. Too
often they think that might makes

kings, poor things. never have had
the advantages that we have. Too
often they never have learned to do
things for themselves, because they
never have had to do things for
themselves. They simply command
that things be done for them. And,
so, because they have this power to
command, they too often have come
to think that they have a right 70
command anything that they please.
They cannot understand that other
people have rights.
1t is some times this way with
King Eagle. He likes fish, but he
never has learned to catch them for
himself. So because he likes fish

Plunger's very face, and all the
time commanding Plunger to drop
that fish. Plunger was about ready
to give up when Mrs. Plunger ar
rived to help him. She flew in King
Eagles way and did her very best
to interfere, all the time screaming
at King Eagle and calling him a rob-
Der and thief and everything bad
she could think of. She was try
ing to make King Eagle so angry
that he would leave Plunger alone
and try to punish her.
But King Eagle is altogether too
smart 10 be fooled in any such way
as that. He knew exactly what she
was trying to do, and he paid no
attention TO her except. to threaten
her with his great claws when she
vehtured too near. He wanted that
big fat fish, and he meant to have
it. At first he was simply mildly
threatening. He did not want to
hurt Plunger. Not that he cared
particularly for Plunger. He didn't
His reason for not wanting to hurt
Plunger was purely selfish, | sus-
pect. He wanted that particular
fish, but he would want more fish
in the future, and if he hurt Plum
ger and disabled him, who would
catch those fish for him in the fu-
ture? SO his whole idea was merely
to frighten Plunger into dropping
that fish.
Plunger knew this, for Plunger is
no fool, and so he held on and
hoped with all his might that King
Eagle would lose patience and give
up. And at last King Eagle did
lose his patience, but with no in.
tention of giving up. He began TO
lose his temper. Plunger saw a sud-
den change in the fierce eyes of
King Eagle. They grew more
fierce. Plunger's heart failed and
he shivered with fear.
"Stop foOling and drop that fish -
hissed King Eagle.
With a scream Of rage and dis
appointment Plunger obeyed. He
didn't dare do otherwise. The king
was no longer to be denied. 1t was
might, not right, that gave him his
way.

and strong enough, he feels that he
has a perfect right to take them
from Plunger the Fish Hawk, and
that Plunger should gladly give
them up at his demand because he
is the king. If he were not the
king, | suspect he would be called
just a plain robber. But no one
thinks of calling q king a robber-
that Is, no one but Plunger.
When fishing is good and Plunger
can catch plenty without half try
ing, he doesn't much mind giving up
few to King Eagle. He may
grumble a little, but that is all. But
when, on this particular morning,
he had fished patiently for a long
time without catching a single fish,
and then when he is almost ready
to give up, does catch a fine, big,
fat fish, he thinks it rather too
much to have King Eagle suddenly
appear and demand that fish. SO
Plunger made up his mind that he
would not give it up until he abso-
lutely had to. in spite of King
Eagles orders to drop it.
Now, Plunger the Fish Hawk is a
wonderful flyer, but, wonderful as
he is, King Eagle is a still more Won
derful yet, and Plunger knows it..
In spite of this, he did his best to

POLITE CONVERSATION
TN oLD-FAsHIoNED rules for

TN OLD-FASHIONED rules for
Il polite conversation, children,
servants and personal infrmities
were subjects strictly taboo. 1t was
also considered bad form to talk
about money matters or love af-
fairs. Anything that might be con-
sidered as dealing even remotely
with sex was considered indelicate
and as a usual thing discussion of
religion or politics was considered
bad form.
Conversation nowadays is less re-
strained than it used to be, but
many of these taboos are wisely re-
tanned. But even avoiding any of
these subjects one may still make
mistakes. Motor enthusiasts who
talk about what roads they took to
get from here to there on so many
gallons of gasoline, bookish people
who try to discuss books that no
one else has read, movie fans who
like to give resumes of picture
plays they have recently seen, peo-
pie who rehash bridge hands, golf
ers who would as soon talk about
the game as play it-are frequently
as tiresome as mothers who .alk
about their babies or invalids who
talk about their ailments. After
you have made mental list of all
the subjects that may be tiresome
or offensive in polite conversa
tion" you feel inclined to ban con-
versation entirely.

1t is likely the market will give
a clue in the next few days to
which way it is going.
The recent backing and filling
can't last much longer, for Wall
Street won't stand prolonged idle
ness. Saturdays closing rally may
be dismissed as just scattered
covering here and there. and the
sidelineS continue the best place
until the trend is defined.
Coolidge Rail Support
Saturdays default on the Nickel
Plate issue was generally expected,
but now raises the uncertainty OF
receivership. Reports from Cleve-
land are that plans are afoot to
avert this.
The rails, however. will have
the supporting influence of a
meeting of the Coolidge Commits
sion this week and improving
traffic figures. Normally, car load
ings begin to taper off this month,
but there is some belief that this
may come later than usual this
year.
Then, too, the eastern roads are
likely to start merger action soon.
This explains some of the recent
tips on the Lackawanna which the

BY LEWIS HANEY
professor of Economics,
NeW York UniUerSity.)

The fundamental question to-
day is: Can we stall off a thor
ough readjustment of financial
affairs long enough to allow
some sort of a recovery? BY
putting the day of settlement
off, can we avoid settlement
on the terms that would be nee
esSary now?
In short, will things get bet
ter if we can just get through
another winter without a final
show down?
Sailing Off Debts
First we should consider what
it is that we are stalling off. In
general it is the settlement OF
debt. We are renewing or eX-
tending loans and saving" COM
panies from reCeiVerShlp, on an
unparalleled scale.
Goodness knows how much of
this is going on among individual
debtors and creditors. The out
standing fact is that our Govern
ment is rapidly becoming the
greatest creditor on earth. 1t
has been steadily taking on a
growing burden OF debts of
banks, railways and farmers.
That is what all those R. F. C.
loans mean. And don't forget
that it all comes back to us tax
payers. The middle classes"
who carry the heaviest tax load,
are the ones who stand back of
government credit and who will
be hit if all these loans are not
repaid with interest.
An Enormous Gamble
We should all know by this
time that an enormous gamble
has been going on-is still in
process. Billions of credit have
been used by financial and po-
Iitical powers in the hope of "Sav-
ing the situation" The idea is
to prevent a showdown and a
complete financial reorganzaton.
But save" what? Is the real
idea not to save the investments
of certain wealthy individuals,
and the controlling position of
certain great financial interests?

perate efforts were made to save"

situation. 1 do not mean to i'm
ply that these cases, which in
Volved fraud, are entirely repre-
sentative. But they do illustrate
the fact that it is always some
individual or group financial in
tereSt that is at stake.
Society Little Affected
Society gets its matches and
its utility service just the same,
even though the creditors have
to take over.
I do not think that capital
ism" is at stake, but the financial
interests of certain capitalists.
I do not think that the life of

life of political party.
