By Randolph Forbes. N a recent magazine article, a certain clever writer pokes some innocent fun at the commonplace people of this commonplace world who are prone to make what one might call “obvious re marks.” The man is laughed at, who, when he takes a glass of water at.a gulp, says to you: “After all, old man, there's nothing like a good cold glass of water to quench one's thirst!” But is it just to laugh at him? Think how simple he makes share in'the conversation. All you have to reply is, “Yes and he is wholly satisfied, and you are saved the exertion of trying make a clevel reply to what might have been from him a brilliant epigram There lies the whole trouble.

Usually such jaws have been ignored in small places, and in reference to smaller combinations, and have been enforced only against some of the larger, although quite possibly in some instances, at least, against some of the more grasping and unscrupuious of the combinations. But even when these laws have been enforced they have at times led to higher prices for the consumers, and in other instances, although effective in form, they have been non-effective in fact. Though the corporations have nominally been dissolved, practically their members have worked together as efficiently as before. It may indeed be sald toat this exaggerated attack upon agreements of all kinds, reasonable and unreasonable, has been one factor, perhaps the most promi nent factor, In driving together into a rigid, single organization establishe ments that without this pressure of an unwise law would have remained in great part competitive, although acting under agreements in certain particu- lars.

Chas. E. Hughes 'NFIDENCE depends upon the assurance of stabilit yy By stability is not meant fixity of things or relations, but steadiness. It may be steadiness in motion. Paradoxical as it may seem, human society cannot be atable unless it is progressive, That is because growth and progress are the law of our nature, Reason demands the facts. By the requirement of Publicity is not moant sensationalism or distorted emphasis. Reason in its rule of governmental activities demands even, Impartial and consistent enforcement of the law. Stability and confidence can never be as sured save by strength and firmness E have rience impartially stances practically grocers’ association, laws merely that enforced these laws Had they enforced every ent and the enforcement of law a maiter of caprice involves danger only as to the subject directly concerned.
