"There are many qualities which ‘
we need alike in private citizen and in
public man, but three above all
three for lack of which no brilliancy
and no genius can atone—and those
three are eeurage, honesty and com- i
mon sense.”
Which Hand Ana Wa to Taka? j
Attorney General Palmer doesr.;
believe in letting his left hand know
what his right is doing evidently.;
And perhaps he doesn't intend for
the people to know either.
He and his department are pro
claimed to be engaged in ardent pur
suit of red radicals of all types and
shades and from time to time he re
ports that no measures will be
.-pared to hum down and speedily
bring to light ail .fhrreptitious and
seditious activities within the United
jjtates. Then again he sends re
straining instructions to state and
county attorneys who are ready and
in a position to raid and round up
undesirables in their social territory.
The instructions were not followed
by Attorney Hoyne of Illinois, evi
dently, whose raid bagged some 209
or more I. W. W.’s and other radicals
n Chicago on New Year's day. Prob
ably the Attorney General's letter
was not expected to be made known
• o the public as Mr. Hoyne is a
Democrat, but he has generously
given its sentiment to the world with
ins own comment for good measure.
He said:
Apparently Alien ney General
Talmer or some of his friends are
playing petty politics with the situa
tion and are pursuing pussyfoot
policy. Expressing my opinion as a
itizea and Democrat, I do not be
lieve Nero or any other fiddler can
be elected President of the United
states"
Speaking of fiddling, in October
Attorney General Palmer made a
statement in which he said:
' Every anarchist or P.ed in the
• ountry is ticketed and labelled like
so much dry goods. He can be
.cached at any time. The peril from
■ he Reds in America is greatly ex
aggerated. There are very tew of
:hcm here and those few are under
surveillance.”
He goes on to intimate that the
few who are here are maligned by
the public who suspect them of be
ing at the bottom of the strikes, race
riots and other disturbances in our
heretofore peaceful midst. He ad
mits that they make a noise, rather
a loud noise in fact, but that heart
they merely are the victims of cer
tain mental processes that result in
doctrines which they just have to
work out of their systems, like a dog
'hat barks from sheer joy. Unfor
tunately the poor things, the Reds
not the dogs, arc spilling their preci
ous doctrines right in the midst of
■-his time of the aforesaid strikes,
riots, ct ah, and so get blamed for
'hem. This may explain the restrain
ing letter to Attorney Hoyne.
N'ow the right hand comes out into
i he light and holds forth a statement
from the Attorney General in which
he declares that the year 1920 will be
open season for hunting radicals, that
the policy of the department of jus
tice’ fM the ensuing year will be one
of “uiminching, persistent and ag
gressive warfare” against this class
of offenders, that no quarter will be
shown and that every movement
aimed at the government will be
dealt with sternly.
Is this Mr. Palmer's real purpose
or is it only a New Year's resolu
tion?
The High Cost of Investigations.
The savings division of the treas
ury department through the coopera
tion of the great retail stores and its
own field agents, has been making an
investigation of the problem of buy
ing, and especially the buying of
clothing.
They selected Boston for one field
of study and found that a woman can
very easily spend over $500 on one
outfit of winter clothing if she buys
in hasty and ill-considered fashion.
The costume includes underwear,
shoes, dress, coat, hat, gloves and
bag. The investigating committee
also found that It is possible to pur
chase an outfit containing the same
articles, of eours«of different quali
ties. for $143.10. Pictures were posed
of young ladies dreshed in the two
■ ostumes and one can hardly tell the
difference, as far as appearance goes.
The difference in cash is however.
3422.65. ’i
So far. fine: The savings division
has performed a sendee by teaching
this object lesson. But the scene
lianges to New York:
It is possible for a man in New

York to outfit himself, wife and small
boy with clothing of "good quality"
for $149.53 by carefully studying
newspaper advertisements of reputa
ble houses and then "shopping
around” according to Col. Michael
Friedman, of the Fair Price com- |
mittee in a report submitted today to 1
Federal Food Administrator Wil- )
liams.
The man's clothing would cost
$64.23; the woman's $58.15; and the
boy’s $22.95. These figures would
allow for an overcoat, suit of clothes, j
shoes, underwear and hosiery' for a j
man. a skirt, dress, coat, shoes, j
hosiery and underwear for a woman, j
i and suit, shoes, stockings and over- ;
S coat for a boy.
If it is possible to fit out the whole j
family in Xew York for what it costs I
to fit out the mother in Boston, where!
do the federal investigations leave
us? Boston figures are no guide for
Xew England, for conditions between
Boston and Augusta may vary as
; widely!as between Boston and Xew
York for all we know. Unless there
be a committee in each town to tell
us where to shop wbat are we going
to do about it? Shop just as well as
we know how and let the committees ;
1
. take care of themselves.
• If people read the reams of statis- j
tics and figures that are available for
each day they would never do any
thing else. Commissions and bu
! reaus multiply and boards investigate
| without end, all of which costs huge
: sums of money that eventually comes
out of the people.
We had just as lief that our money
would go some other way as to pay
for being told not to pay $250 for a
coat when one might be bought to do
Just as good service for $60.

Venice” eliminated from the schools
; because it hurts their feelings, and

Shakespeare never insulted them
