NO SUBSTITUTE
FOR INGENUITY

The Wall Street Journal re-
Gently printed a thoughtful edi-
torial on certain laws which
were supposed to help indepen-
dent grocers in competing with
the big chains. The paper said:
"A large-scale buyer is almost
sure to get some price advantage
over a small-scale buyer and SO
be in a position to under-sell
him.
ut does not follow that the
small grOcers are therefore I'M
able to compete with the big
chains. If that were true, the
independents would long since
have been gObbled up by the
chains instead of furnishing
side by side with them as they
do. Price competition is only
one kind of competition, and the
independents have found that it
can be offset by emphasizing
quality, service. specialties and
in many other ways"
The journal then said that in
dependents think that some
laws have helped them, and add
ed: But what has manifestly
helped them far more than any
law is their own ingenuity and
their own competitive instinct.
That is something which law
can sometimes stifle, but for
which it can never substitute. "
This intelligent and valid point
of view applies TO all branches
OF retailing, not only the gro
Gerry business. Those who, 20
years or SO ago, foresaw the
death of independent merchan.
dlslng unless punitive legisla-
ton was levied against the
chains were actually guilty of
grossly undertaking the vigOr,
imagination and abilities of the
independents themselves. These
merchants were quick to devise
innovations and custom pleasing
inducements of their own. As a
. result, the proportion Of total re
tail trade done by the chains
and Independents respectively
has changed but little over a
period Of many years.

Capitol Building
In Crave Danger

100000 to $3,5OO,0OO more
would be necessary to insure
completion of the capitol re-
modelling job. Such an offering
would not have sufficient income
from the land grant to make it
attractive except at an exhorbi.
tant interest rate. The only al
tentative in sight would appear
to be an additional tax on all
property. The states credit
rating in the bond market where
obligations are secured by tax
revenue is excellent.
In the absence Of a special
session Of the legislature and
a special eIeetion-neither Of
which appears likely - this
means that IL the 1857 Iesis.

eral obligation bond issue for
capitol renovation. it would be
subject to approval by a ma.
iority Of the property.ownins
voters in the November 1883
election. II approval were
given then by the people, sew
eral months would eIapse be-
fore the bonds could be sold
and the remodeIins program
would not get under way be-
fore the spring Of 1859.
Both Morrison-Maierle and
Burke say any compromise on
recomme ldations on reinforcing
the capitol would be foolish.
Strengthening the building to
meet earthquake shocks of a
more moderate intensity than
those which can be epected here
would be less costly than the
figures submitted but both firms
agree that unless maximum rein
farcing is done it would be best
to leave things as they are.

solution-Were adopted, the cap.

more without an additional
crack in its walls. One major

however, could send columns

Rebuilding Park Chalet

West Glacier - Sixty mule
loads of sand, cement, nails and
flooring have been transported
six miles by trail from Lake Nc
Donald to Sperry chalets.
Eighteen more mule loads are
to be sent to the mountain hotel,
away from roads and highways.
Under way is replacement Of
worn floors and building main

The mammoth size of the cleo
trio shovels used in strip mining
of bituminOus coal can readily
be seen in the fact that one such
shovel, with 50-cubic yard ca
pacity, could load $4,000 railroad
hopper cars each month.

State officials and legislators
we're given an estimate of $3,732,-

capitol in accordance with pre-

WILLIAMSBURG. KY. Jan 4.
"A mysterious assailant appar-
emily tried to beat two young
mountain brothers to death yes
terday with q club.
John Proflitt, IL. and Coy. IL.
were attacked as they gathered
wood so yards from their farm
home.
John said this was the second
time within two weeks that q
man walking with Q limp" had
attacked them.
Sheriff Everett RainS said Coy
was beaten so badly his head
was swollen twice the normal
size. He can't see. His eyes are
swollen tight"
John suffered q cash from the
center Of his head Ito the top
of his left ear" the sheriff said.
The bodies Of both boys were
covered with blotches from
their heels to their heads. There
are large holes in their backs
where flesh was torn away" the
sheriff added.
John said he was gathering
wood when he heard his brother
scream for help. He ran to his
brother and saw q man stand
ing over Coy with a long black
club" he told the sheriff. Coy
was lying under q fence. The
assailant then turned on him,
John said. and beat him until be
lost consciousness.
Their father. ESQ Profitt. 20.
took them to q hospital at Jel-
lico, Tenn. late yesterday. A doc
tor there said the boys probably
wouldn't have survived the beat
ings had they not been tough
as pine knots"
He said they apparently had
been agile enough to dodge some
blows and tough enough to
weather what they took.
He said they told him the as
saiIant warned them they would
be killed If they didn't leave
home.
Mr.. Proffitt said he and his
wife came to Williamsburg early
yesterday They found the boys
beaten when they returned about
