FEDERAL RED TAPE

Thoughtful citizens can not fail to
look upon the ever increasing tendency of
governmental agencies to restrict and reg
ulate" our daily activities, which are be-
coming more and more enmeshed in maze
of red tape.
Practically every new law passed by
Congress or state legislatures is designed
to further extend this paternal supervision
by innumerable commissions, boards, and
bureaus. many of which have no valid rea-
SON for existence. except that they make
jobs to fatten the public payroll.
Among the many persons of promi-
nence who have protested against these
indefensive Entertainments upon the liber-
ties of the people is former Governor Theo-
dore Christensen of Minnesota, who said /:
Il emphatically disapproye of the nn-
merous and petty regulations with which
little bureaucrats in Washington annoy and
harass business, big and little"
The fact that these burdensome regu-
lations are not the result Of any demand on
the part of the public, but are originated
by politicians who seek the limelight and
are ambitious to have their names identi-
fed with restrictive laws of every conceiv-
able subject.

THE MERCHANTS OPPORTUNITY
Democrat Tribune, Carmi, Illinois)

lDemocrat-Tribune, Carmi, Illinois)
Merchants and other business firms of
this town are face to face with the oppor-
tunity of lifetime, and we believe they
realize it. The presidents commodity
price raising CAMPAIGN has gone far be-
yond what he expected, and has become a
matter of grave concern. 1t has brought the
profiteers out in the open and they are
gouging people to the limit, and the gouge
is sinking deeper day by day. In a GER
tain fair-sized city few weeks ago popu-
lar brand of crackers were selling at nine
teen. cents box. A few days ago the. same
crackers were priced at thirty-one cents
box---a price boost of more thar sixty per-
cent
That is just one small sample of what
the pr0fiteers are doing even this early in
the game.
We believe the business firms of this
town are possessed of good judgment and
desire to be fair with their customers
they must of a necessity make reasonable
profit on the goods they sell--they are en-
titled to that.
There is no excuse or justification for
the skyrocket rise in commodity prices DUR
ing the past few weeks. That is most notice
able in the cities, where merchants appear
to be going mad in their insane desire to
make a killing in price boosting II
And therein lies ehe golden oppor-
tunity for the country town merchant.
The buying public is going to become
incensed and Disguised over the greed that
has followed the presidents invitation to
raise prices. City merchants are not mere
ly adding the increase in wholesale cost to
their own retail prices. They are great
" increasing their standard scale of profits,
thereby annexing additional pounds of
flesh at the expense of luckless consumers.
IF our home merchants will refrain
from such wild profiteering, and add only
the increase in wholesale cost to their own
retail prices, they will find their selling
cost far below the cities. They will win
the respect and gratitude of our towns
people.
Wise men take advantage of legiti-
mate opportunities and plan for the fu-
ture. Foolish ones think only of the pres.
ent and the penny in hand.

BIG MEN ARE SHY

It may sound cynical. but it is q fact
that the really capable men of the country
are extremely shy of politics and political
jobs. Whenever man who has made a
success in life is proposed as candidate
for either election or appointment, he is
immediately bounced upon by the dema-
gogues and bounded without mercy.
The situation was sized up some time
ago by VIII Rogers. who with his keen in
sight said of presidential appointments:
Big men won't take them, for they
won't take chance on Senate insult. II
he has ever earned more than Senator,
he is in league with big business. If he
ever drove Standard Oil truck or was q
bcokkeeper in Morgan bank he is In
league with monopolies. II he is rich he
is in league with the devil. But If he has
never done anything and has been finan-
ciaI failure 1t that, he win pass the Senate
as brother"
While these are the words of humor-
iss. they are literally true.

state that when Chief Elwood first
approached me he said: "Jakie,
you can't get by in working against

er to fire YOU"
After this l went to see Mayor

The mayor told me he had in
structed Elwood to tell the police
that they would have to wake up
as he, the mayor was being both
cred with too many calls.
After this, Elwood returned the
second time and repeated the re-
mark about "You can't get by in
working against me-" The chief

strip you of your paraphernalia. y
This was when said: ITO hell with
you and the mayor, too"

and brought a tinge of pink TO

Darling" Ida said, pulling of
her gloves, would you do some

ELINOR stood like a stick. All
- her grace had been wiped away
by resentment and growing fear
Yet surely, the girl thought, trying
to down the ache that was begin
ming in her heart, he cared!
He was true, too loyal to be in
fiuenced now. If he could be
changed by her mother he was not
the man she had believed him to
be. Nothing could be then as she
had dreamed. Life would be-oh,
it would be horrible!
Her heart cried out, please Bar
rett! Please UNDERESTIMATE
Ida went on, Il want you to
telephone Aunt Ella to tell her I
am back home safe, sweet. And
dear Cousin Bessie and, of course,
your father. They're all so absurdly
anxious about my safety" she end
ed, turning to Barrett.
Without word, Elinor left the
room, her knees weak. For the
first time in her life she had been
truly happy. For the first time she
had realized what life might hold
And the moment before-she could
hardly realize it now-Barrett had
kissed her.
AS she left the room, Elinor could
see, without turning her head to
look back, that her mother was
holding out an appealing hand to
Barrett.
1t took several minutes to tele-
phone Bessie Thorpe, Miss Ella
and her father for whom she had tC
wait. When Elinor returned she
found Barrett still standing, look
ing rather white.
What have you done?" Elinol
asked as she heard Benson close Che
outer door after him.
But what can you mean, dear?'
Ida questioned in turn and with
an assumption of innocenSe that
made Elnior know something very
badly had happened.
Il mean what I say, mother" Hell

once-be honest? 1 love Barrett
Colvin and he loves me. He was
going to tell me so when you came
in"
The child, Ida saw YEARLY, was
going to make a scene. Elinor was
crying, shaking.
IF ne loves you, dear, of course
he will tell you SO. What could my
coming have to do with it?"
Elinor laughed suddenly, hysteri-
cally. Then, sobbing deeply, she
turned and left the room.

CHAPTER TWELVE

7 LILA leaned forward, listening
Il frankly. She wanted to know
what Elinor and the young man
were saying. Her eyes took in a
huge bouquet of red roses on table
in the hall. Beyond in the draw
ing room, she saw butterfly orchids
in a silver bowl.
Then she heard Elinor say, But,
Barry"
1t was Barrett Colvin, Ida real
tzed. She did not want to have
Barrett Colvin devoted to Elinor /!
She wanted him to admire her; to
recite her good qualities to Miss
Ella Sexton who was devoted to
Barry and obviously easily in
huenced by him.
A tragedy it would be, Ida de-
cided swiftly tor Aunt Ella to leave
the bulk of her fortune to Elinor.
And Aunt Ella was quite likely to
leave a large part of 4 to any one
Barrett Colvin admired.
Elinor's tastes were too simple;
Elinor would have been perfectly
happy living on the smallest allow
ance, while Ida simply had to have
money!
Amy young girl is better off for
control" Ida thought often She
could always make herself comfort
able concerning any lie and assure
herself that whatever she wanted
was the thing that was right.
She tiptoed little closer to the
drawing room doorway and stood
close to a billowing curtain, pressed
against the wall.
Elinor was saying, But I've never
known any one so fine as you are,
Barry. It's ridiculous for you to
keep harping on age as you dol"
He blurted out. Il want you to
have the best!"
THERE was a silence. Then Ida
i heard his deep-drawn breath
and knew he had kissed Elinor.
Il didn't mean to do that be-
fore" he said and hesitated. He
was going on, Ida was sure, to say
before I asked you to marry me-
oh, but she could not have that!
Ida moved swiftly toward the
drawing room door On the thresh-
old, she paused, knowing the pic
ture she made
MY dear, dear, dear child" she
exclaimed TREMENDOUSLY. She saw the
color drain from Elinor'S face and
her eyes grow bid and dark.
Barrtt Colvin did not like the in
terruption, she saw. He was flushed
and looking suller. But she would
manage it so that he would thank
