Tax-Exempt Harvard.

With an audacity equaled only by
undergraduates of the Yard" Mayor
John w. Lyons of Cambridge, Mass,
has ventured to suggest that wealthy
old Harvard University is an unprin-
cipled deadhead and tax dodger. With
town council has proposed that Har-
ward set itself up as "city within
city" and try running its own police,
fire, health and other municipal services
at its own expense.
The council said it and meant it. City
Councillor John J. Toomey, who intro
duced blistering resolution on the SUBJ
ject, emphasized he was not clowning.
He declared the university has become
so rich and so large, what with all its
constantly expanding tax-exempt prop
erty, that the good citizens of Cambridge,
who pay their taxes regularly, albeit
grudgingly, no longer can afford to give
the venerable institution free municipal
services.
AS might be expected, the irrepres-
sible Harvard boys have sought to laugh
this thing of, just as they have sought
to laugh OIL Yale and Princeton and, a
few years back, the Praying Colonels
from Centre College. They are laughing
with the broadest possible "A". They are
demanding a plebiscite, passing resolu-
tions of secession, staging parades of
storm troopers" and otherwise con-
Quoting themselves as Harvard boys have
been wont to conduct themselves for
many generations. n
For shame, Cambridge! Surely you
are but jesting about this little matter
of tax exemption or evasion or what you
will. After all, Harvard Is Harvard. with
a proud and unsulhed past and . certain

Chain Stores Defended
Against Critics.

Chain Stores Defended
Against Critics.
To the Editor of The Star:
The inevitable Showdown" for chain
stores appears to be coming event
Any great success must face a testing
time; struggle with enemies jealous of
Nctors.
How did our chain stores gain their
1ootlng? In this country no business can
survive without pleasing the public. It
has been amply demonstrated that price
alone Will not build successful busi-
ness. Watch any average food shopper.
Sne may scan the price tags, but she
doesn't always buy the cheapest goods.
An appealing display will make her for
get the budget.
In TACT, display is the secret of chain
store success. Remember the cracker
box cat. the dark, tomblike meat coun-
ter and the jumbled cases of miscel-
laneous junk? Nobody enjoyed buying
because it wasn't a pleasure, an ad-
venture.
How sharply in contrast are the beau
tlful stores we visit today! Well lighted,
they cheer the weary shopper with gay
displays, make her burden easier by
ef1lc1ent methods. The goods are fresher
and new, interesting products line spot
less shelves. Who started all this?
Every American knows the answer
chain stores
Ihe average chain started on a shoe
string, without wealthy backing. A poor
merchant made some improvement,
found it increased his business, made
more improvements, built more stores.
Chain store histories are almost all
similar to this type of growth. American
people chose chains to serve them.
Wnen Americans no longer want chain
stores the business will end Immediately.
Legislators need not be concerned for
fear their constituents cannot get the
type OF stores they want, because the
public holds the purse that pays busi-
ness.
We must conclude that defeated re-
. tallers are at work to regain lost ground
by unfair methods. 1t wouldn't be
American justice to allow them success
IN such venture. Let them present
better service, better advertising, better
display, and they will find that the
"mousetrap" fable still holds true in
this land Of opportunity.

but this organization seems to be toler-
ated as harmless.
I think that for many years there has
not been such genuine feeling of good
WILL toward the United States in these
countries as there is now; but it is doubt
1ul II United States corporations are
wise IN allowing any of their European
employees to have such organizations
here.
Why cannot they confine their doc
trlnes to their own business houses, in
stead OF houting them when they are
employed by United States firm.

Superpower for Radio.

A committee of three commissioners
OF the Federal Communications Com
mission has recommended to that body
that 1t deny the application of WLW,
the Crosley Radio Station at Cincin-
natl Ohio, for a renewal of It's expert
mental license to broadcast with q
power of 100000 watts. 1t is the only
station in the country which now has
authority to broadcast with this power,
which is 45O000 watts greater than that
permitted to any other station under
the present rules.
The committee gave three reasons for
It's recommendations First, that the ap-
plicant's proposed experimental re-
search program does not necessitate
the use of 100000 watts power; second,
that in view of the adverse effect upon
the reception of Station WOR at Newark,
N. j., and the uncertainty as to the
economic effects generally of such opera
ton, caution should be exercised by the
commission in extending the expert
mental authorization, no compelling rea-
sons therefor having been advanced;
and third, in view of these factors, public
interest, convenience and necessity will
not be served by the granting of the ap-
plcation.
There are now pending before the
commission a number of other applica-
tions for superpower. This has raised
serious economic question, wholly aside
from the fact that such power has been
demonstrated to be technically feasible.

October 81, 1918,

On a. ninety-mile front, extending
from the Dutch border to the Disc east
of st. Quentin, the Allies pushed forward
remorselessly. The enemy fought des-
perately to extricate men and supplies
from the closing trap, but nowhere gained
any success.
British troops forced their way to the
Scheldt natural defense barrier, and
made crossing at one point, against
fierce opposition. The enemys rear
communications were hopelessly jammed,
and they lost much material. In Serbia,

Bill Granting Loans to
Those Over Sixty Approved.

10 tIIe GuIC0f Inc St6T.
Concerning your editorial Of October
II entitled Pensions and Panaceas"
give herewith my opinion on H. r. No.
4l99. A bill pigeonholed in the Ways
and Means Committee in Congress. The
bill suggests q loan from the United
States Treasury which finances itself by
a per cent sale or transaction tax, as
1t goes back to the Treasury through the
channels Of trade.
1t is not a pension; it is a loan, a
purely business transaction. The bill
helps everybody. It hurts nobody. 1t
continues the capitalist system indefi-
nitely. b. r. ADAMS.

Autumn.

Last evening in the shadow Of my porch.
Beneath a still gray sky fair autumn
came,
There from my scarlet sage lighted her
torch,
And set the dogwood and the oak
aflame.
She carried purest gold to maple leaves,
From storerooms which the marigolds
had filled, !,
BY mystic art the rarest pattern weaves,
For by the Master Artist she is skilled.

Two Volumes.

Two Volumes.
Two volumes standing side by side
Tell Of lifetime's toll and pride.
One is tome full stoutly built
And brave with decorative gilt.
Its pages, numerous, are all
Close covered with fluent scrawl
Save where, as Fancy sped along
She left picture or a song.
The other Is flimsy tract
With lettering painfully exact.
The work of plodding patient years
Writ out in ink oft thinned with tears.
The first holds what I thought I knew
In years gone by. And volume two,
With blots, and pages torn away.
Is what I'm sure know today.
