Uncle Sam's Big Grand Jury
It is good news that Wilson's industrial commis
sion is to try to learn what is underneath tho labor
war in Michigan and Colorado, whither such strife
is leading us, and, it' possible, the way out.
Its Inquest will have behind it ample authority
and funds and a patience which will allow due dili
gence in searching for the truth.
It has no power to mediate in any controversy; no
power of action at all. It is merely a grand jury, to
inquire and lay the results of its inquiry before con
gress and the people.
But unlike certain industrial commissions of the
past, it starts without bias', and wishes to collect all
the Information which it can lay hold of concerning
the causes of industrial unrest.
Moreover, it starts with the advantage of duffing
the new point of view—that what democracy needs
is not the massing of property in the control of a
few, but welfare widespread and as evenly distrib
uted as human brotherhood can accomplish.
Viewed from this angle, many old ways, once
highly reverenced, will appear vicious; and many
results, long held in honor, will be revealed as not
further tolerable.
An inventory thus guided cannot fail to be of
value.
To aid it in every possihle way will be a public
duty.
Why So Much and So Little
Last year the lending mail order house, on a vol
ume of business amounting to 096^564,000, a gain
over 1!>12 of almost 15 per cent, cleared a profit of
about 10 per cent, equal to 22 per cent on its $10,000,
--000 common stuck, after taking out the 7 per cent
on its $8,000,000 of preferred stock
Of every dollar handled, a dime wont into the kit
ty. Almost as fortunate a record as Henry Ford's.
Yet many women employe's of this prosperous in
stitution are being paid wages which just about en
able them to keep noses above water. The bulk of
the prosperity remains at the top.
The largest stockholder gives much to charity—j
and receives much praise in consequence,
But it may be fairly (huibted if what he gives in
that way does half as much good as if it were to be
distributed in higher wages among those now re- i
ceiving the least; and in closer margins of profit up- j
on goods sold to consumers.
Above a comfortable living and enough surplus to]
insure the enterprise against the fluctuations in
business, why should he want to pile up millions,
which embarrass rather than benefit him I
Isn't this the next lesson which our captains of
industry need to learn?
Taking it Out of Labor
High finance, after picking its prey to the bone,
'usually does what it is doing with the remains of the
once prosperous New Haven railroad.
Having fleeced the stockholders and stung the
public, it is now cutting wages. But it isn't turn
ing any of its loot back —on that point, at least, priv
ilege stands pat.
Mc Reynolds says there's no law by which Uncle
Sam can get after a big crook who wrecks a railroad
by mismanagement, though if a small scoundrel
holds up one train to tap its express safe, rifle its
mail or rob its passengers, it's years behind bars
and no let-up till he's landed.
If that's so, why isn't Mcßeynolds shouting for
power and urging Wilson to help him to it?
Does he think tliere can be "peace" or "rest" for
business while such flagrant guilt goes unavenged.
GEE! there are a thousand or more ex-office
holders who'll say that Woodrow didn't need to for
mally join any fire company No. 1.
"Intestment demand broadening," "Money eas
ier," "Prices better," "Prunes firm but inactive,"
are the cheer-up reports from New York markets.
Our own west sounds the note of obstinate and
cheerful optimism, says New York Evening Post.
That note is only the eacho of the investment com
panies' siren song. Y'orter hear the key-note.
Parisians are dyeing their hair to match the color
of their clothes. How about the bald heads?
English capitalists have organized a $125,000,000
combine to manufacture soap for the Chinese. For
themselves or for the laundry they wash?
Girls of today conceal their ears behind a mat of
hair, according to fashion's decree. Perhaps it pre-'
ects discussed these days.

MARY'S LITTLE LAMB.
In the Umbo of the past eternal dwelt a lambkin.
Like a fleck of fleece detached from the clouds that brood on
the brow of Kinchinjinga, so was the upholstery of this baby sheep.
It belonged—yes, belonged—to a young, pale slip of a Mary
maiden with gay feet. With a giddy speed tho glad feet of the
Mary maiden flickered hither and thither.
This helpless, snow-white young of the sheep—how did Mary
get it? There Is a rumor that It waa given to her. She was made
a present of it. Imagine a homeless lambkin searching the wide
horizon with Its mild eyes and icing only Mary! That is why it
haunted her with a wistful mystery.
Oh, the wistful mystery of an adolescent mutton that knows
nothing! Not even that school is a place for livestock!
