GOVERNMENTAL REGULATING
MANIA

I
In former depressions the law of
supply and demand operated effec-
lively, but now we want the govern
ment to regulate everything.
There are undoubtedly definite
causes for this business stagnation
which may be pointed out accurately
in years to come. .
But there is no doubt that the pro-
longation of this financial crisis is
partly due at least to the general in
terference with the law of supply
and demand.
Artificial fixation of prices of any
kind will automatically interfere
with the natural flow of business.
Even the minimum-wage law that we
find discussed so much at the pres
ent time is questionable procedure.
For what workers really want is
not financial standard but a guar
anty of a standard of living, stand
ard of happiness.
A standard of wages means moth
ing IL you are liable to be out of a
job at any time. Furthermore, the
higher wages are boosted the great
er the living expenses. .e.o.
Wages enter into the cost of
everything that we buy. Therefore
it is really the buying, power of the
wage which is the real test. Wheth-
er you earn ten, thirty, or one hum
dred dollars week makes little diff
ference If the cost of everything is
in proportion. eoy
The government is now hiring
men in the forestry division for one
dollar a day, board included. Leg
islators are considering the adVis-
ability of forming camps for boys in
various parts of the country. The |
wage of ten cents a day has been |
considered as payment for services
rendered in thes camps. |
Too much tampering with the |
wages of the industrial world, Gre
ating artificial standards, may in |
crease the number of people engaged
in. low-wage governmental work, or
else they may have to be placed on a
dole.
The government was given a Sc
we're lesson in price regulation when
an endeayor was made to control the
price OF wheat and cotton. If we are
to regulate the price of any COM
wages included, by govern
mental edict, then the prices of
everything should be similarly regu-
lated, and to do this justly to all
is a Herculean task.
There has been too much regula-
ton of prices in the industrial world,
and we have allowed the farmer to-
shift for himself. We have made no
EFFORT to protect him from the
buyers of agricultural
products.
And we should remember that
SO per cent of the buying
power of our country comes from
he farmers.
If we were to build a house and

PLAYGROUND WORK

Public Fairgrounds have done a
very fine piece Of work during the
recent hard years. The total at
tendance at such grounds last year
was about 27O,O0O,OOO. They have
provided activities for unemployed
young men: Young fellows who
otherwise would have been loafing
on street corners, and some of them
getting in trouble, have found outlet
there for their restless activity.
Last year about 20OO more super
vised recreation areas were main
tanned than We're carried on five
years ago. There were 554 new
playground areas developed last
year, in spite of the hard times.
Fairgrounds are cheaper than
jails, police, and courts. If there
was ample playground space in
every city neighborhood, and lit
tie supervision to regulate these ac-
tivities, there would not be much
crime. The boys who now drift into
rowdy associations, and graduate
into criminal life, would be kept so
busy playing baseball. tennis, and
golf, that they would have no time
or interest to develop into predatory
gangs.
Not many of our communities
have much money to spend for play
grounds now. Yet these spaces could
be provided in the majority of places
without great cost. People of wealth
should be encouraged to make gifts
of vacant land for this purpose. If
they do not want to offer them dur
ing their lifetime, some would be-
queath such spaces to the public in
their wills.
Development work on such
grounds is done mostly by volunteer
labor in many cities. Men who are
receiving public relief are set to
work on these plots in others, and
in that way they work out their OBJ
legation, and the labor is performed
much added expense. When |
you develop a good playground in a
you add to its assets,
and you help the young men and
boys to develop into good citizens.

PRAISE FOR SCHOOL PUPPIES

Words of praise should be said to
every school pupil who has done
good work through the school year
about closing You may say that
these young folks have worked
merely for their own personal bene-
fit. And yet when they really work
ed. they performed service to their
home town and country.
When Johnny Jones and Mary
Smith dig into that headachy lesson
while their mates are kicking up
their heels at some game, they are
laying the foundation for service to
the state. These industrious young
sters will grow up into voters who
won't be fooled by political bunk.
They will be willing to carry their
share of home town burdens.
Every boy and girl in Milford
who has done real work since last
September is entitled to public
thanks.

BREAKING OFT OF PRISON

When II convicts broke out of the
state penitentiary at Lansing, Kan
sas, they illustrated the kind of thing
about which Jail wardens and
guards have to worry. Apparently
this escape was made possible by
the ability of these convicts to get
possession of. firearms.
Smuggling things to convicts is a
well developed art in the under
world. Humane sentiment says that
an imprisoned person must have a
chance to see his friends. But when
you admit that, you take chances
that somebody may smuggle money
for Illicit purposes, tools for escape,
or firearms, to one of these desper-
ate crooks. When prison inmates
get guns, look out for shooting.

GRADUATES VIEW OF LIFE

The graduate of a school or col
lege in former days was much given
to- telling the world what it might
do to solve its problems. In his
essay or Grafton. he uttered lofty
thoughts about human progress, at
which the smart critics were apt to
laugh. They thought it presumptu-
Gus for an immature young person
to set himself up to settle problems
with which statesmen and philOso-
pliers had vainly struggled for ages.
The graduating student of today
does not so often try to instruct the
world. In fact, he is apt to be so
busy with the play side of life, that
the state of the world causes him
no great anxiety. However, the sage
and lofty advice of the old time
graduating essay contained more
truth than its critics were willing to
1t reflected the thought
of teachers of high intelligence. who
could see that the troubles of the
world were all due to faults in hui
man nature, which might be cor
rected.
Our schools and colleges have al
ways taught that when young people
nave received benefits from educa-
ion, they owe a debt in return. The |
rests ON them to become
good citizens here in Delaware and
and take an active part
n making good cities and states.
There is today general spirit of
ynicism. The students hear that
he world is full of crOOkedness.
Iany of them ask how they can
make good in a world where so
luch dishonesty and wrong pre-
ails, unless they sacrifice some of
he principles they were taught.
But our institutions of learning
ave done their best to teach that
ne principles of honor and recti-
lde are unchanging. Our hope is
nat the young people who go out {

buying power of the farmers, which
runs into many billions yearly, must
be restored before there will be a
satisfactory change in business.

THE 50 DEADLY SINS

The Presbyterian church is to cir.
culate throughout the nation list
of so modern sins, to STIMULATE its
members to sober reflection on their
own errors. This list was prepared
by Rev. DR.. Young of Dallas, Texas.
There will be few people who can
not find therein some of theiT' own
pet faults.
The idea of what constitutes a
sin changes from age to age. Years
ago, the sins of fieshy indulgence
were most severely condemned. A
man who got drank, for instance,
would probably have been consid-
cred worse than one who had a mean
and stingy disposition. The drunk
en- mans lack of self control was
deplorable, but such a man was Of
ten kind and helpful, which miti-
gated his offense.
The mean and stingy man might
be perfectly controlled as respects
personal indulgences. But he might
be such a skinfiint in dealing with
his family, his help, or his custom
ers, that he took advantage of all
with whom he had dealings, and he
deprived them of the resources and
support which they should fairly
have had His error seems much
wore than that of the poor impulsive
drunkard who couldn't control him
self.
DR.. Young's list speaks of such
sins as snobbishhess and aloofness.
The people who pass through life
with proud and arrogant disposi-
tion, with no disposition to help the
are among the mostgriev-
Gus sinners of our time.
Cheating, dishonesty, and lack of |
sympathy are high among the major
sins of our epoch. Innumerable
people are guilty of these faults.
Their hard boiled natures touch the
worlds suffering and misery, but
are not stirred, provided they are
themselves. The Pres
oyterians do well to emphasize these
'aults. If they can persuade their
'wn members to avoid them, their
body will be a shining light in a
world darkly tinged with selfish
less.

AT THE MOVIES
The Outsider Kathar-
inc COrnell's Stage Hit

The Outsider" film version Of the
celebrated play in which Katharine
Cornell and Lionel Atwill scored on
Broadway some years ago. will be
shown starting today at the Capitol
Theatre. The role which Miss Cornell
played on the stage is filled in the
talking picture version by Joan Barry,
known as the most beautiful blonde
in England, and the cast includes a
number of we'll known Continental
players.
The Outsider" is said to present a
distinct departure from the usual tri-
angle drama, although its chief pro-
tagonist IS woman torn between two
loves. The unique aspect Of the pres
ent story lies in the fact that only is
the audience kept in a quandry as to
which man the girl really loves, but
the plot motivation is SO ingeniously
drawn that the heroine herself is
forced to undergo tremendous emo
tional experience before she can de-
eide which Of the two men who pre-
tend to love her. is the liar and which
IS sincere.
The action Of "The Outsider" is laid
In London and encompasses a variety
Of scenes. including festive sequence
which takes place In smart night
club on New Years Eve, and an anus
Ing episode occurring In popular
ice-skating rink. The production was
filmed from the Dorothy Brandon
play.

tional farm organizations. for q gen.
eral reduction Of freight rates on ba-
sic commodities. The argument was
on the question of whether the Inter-
state Commerce Commission should
set the matter for formal hearing, and
1t is expected that the commission
will announce its decision within the
next few weeks.
In addition to the above Mr.. Ben
toms office mails bulletin once or
twice a week to its contributing men,
bers. This bulletin gives q summary
OF cases started, progress Of others
and many items of interest relative to
railroad matters. which information
we should have at the earliest possible
date. No other agency of which we
are aware furnishes similar service.
THE 81 900 item above referred to
was reduced by the legislature to $500
annually-fair enough under present
circumstances. That amount probably
would have retained some Of the adj
vantages Of Mr.. Benton,s office. How
ever. the governor vetoed the amount
entirely. That, in and of itself. Is q
severe blow at freight rate regulation
in this state. The fact that we were
able to call upon that office often
saved railroad fare enough to more
than offset the amount contributed
for the maintenance of the office.
THE veto of the appropriation for
the traffic expert and the Washington
office of this commission will effect
saving CD of $4,000 annually, but
will absolutely cripple the freight rate
department. and beyond doubt result
in hundreds Of thousands of dollars
increase in freight bills paid by resi-
dents of the state. (Railroad freight
earnings for the state in a normal
crop year are from SIS, O0O, 10000 to
