To eliminate what is called box car peddiing, the commercial bodies in several western citles have adopted a new code of ethics governing the relations of the wholesaler and re- taller and propose its adoption by the National Credit Men's association at its forthcoming annual meeting in Spokane. Box-car peddling as a traf fic is regarded as harmful to whole- salers and communities in general, as it results in throwing shop-worn goods on the market and demoralizing prices. For the protection of trade and the “honest customer” allke, it might seem the part of prudence to make what changes are necessary to correct the evils of this practice. How general this is we are not prepared to eay, but evidently those interests in closest touch with the situation have found it to be general enough to call for immediate action. Under this reform code the whole saler and jobber I8 required to ex- ercise the utmost loyalty to retailers, selling to those only who are by the character of their trade entitled to buy at wholesale prices. There is no doubt of the abuse In many places of this right But other reforms are thus proposed whose merit is not so apparent, for instance, the demand that wholesalers do not encourage new stores in communities already supplied with merchants to handle the trade. On its face this looks like an attempt to stifle competition, a thing that cannot be justified by the best business ethics and it is likely that the wholesaler will take this view of it, since it aims a blow at his right to sell goods. The whoiesaler is also asked to deny custom to any dealer without “training and ability ‘to succeed and who through ignorance of the cost of doing business sells goods at a loss, thus causing annoyance to competitors and loss of legitimate profit.” The naive humor underlying the serlous intent cannot shield this proposition from much criticlsm. From the es- tablished merchant’'s standpoint, it probably would be a good thing to keep other men out of'the business in which he is engaged, but-how about the purchaser and how, also, about the wholesaler who has goods to sell? Sometimes it might become a difficult task in censorship for the jobber to discriminate between those untried beginners in business as to who wauld succeed and who fall. [Pruly this reform code of ethics needs a little reforming before its gen- becomes practicable and profitable to all interests, Through John Temple Graves, one of his editois and political advisgrs, Willlam R. Helnt offers « domocmy ns‘ chance lor & monopoly ‘of &1l " the itical vagaries outside'of Milwaukee. What few Mr, Bryan, in his rwelve years of candidacy and platform mak- ing, falled to gather in Mr. Hearst scooped up and he now proposes a merger.if only democracy will ‘‘recog- nize the protestant principles of the independence league.” " One . more stipulation—it must be a consolida- tion with the, “democratic party of re- sponsibility, not of caucus,” whatever that may be, and ‘‘not half Bryan, half Ryan, half Belmont,” nor presumably even half Hearst. Though 'modesty forbade Mr, Graves to say so, the pub- lic will be constrained to’assume that he meant to round out this eloquent period with the magic words, “It. must be all Hearst.” This really seems to be the hour of opportunity for the democratic party. The fact that no answer was made to Mr, Graves' proposition at the Jeffers son/ day banquet signifies nothing. With Mr. Bryan hundreds of miles away, who was there to answer? There is ample reason to believe that Mr, Bryan and Mr. Hearst will| re- unite their forces whenever they -ean settle the only difference that ever ex- isted between them as to which of them should take precedence and be paramount over the other. Democrats and Oleo. Democrats in congreéss who rushed to the rescue cf the farmer in the but- ter trust investigation find themselves in deep water, since the senate com- mittee on cost of living has disclosed the fact that ninety-three of the 237 “farmers” controlling the Elgin But- ter board reside in Chicago and con- fine their agricultural activities to a small area of urban real estate. The democrats sought to show that Lhe re- publicans favored a reduction in the high tax on oleomargarine in order to | increase the sales of that product and | benefit the packer who makes - it. | The democrats, on the other hand, ad- vocate the retention of this oleomar- garine tax in the Interest of the who controls tie butter gar- The investigation has brought out much evidence tending to prove that the Elgin board fixes the price of but- ter and that this board is dominated, not by farmers, but by large creamery owners and other Chteago business men, eliminating the farmer alto- gether. But the democrats’ bave un- dertaken a big task in attempting to diseredit the motive of the repibli- cans, for, as has been disclosed, the Dbutter trust bears a cloge relation to the packers’ oamblm, monl of whose npnunumn are members of the Elgin board, and, furthermore, the packers and the oleo manufacturers are largoly identical. . - It would have been gasier in this case to have taken the facts for what they were worth, itseit the “NIM left the oleomar- ! garine tax stand for the present and sent its agents out to investigate the methods of the Elgin board. In the meantime a hearing Is set for April 20 to discuss the oleomargarine situa tion and, while it seems probable the tax will be readjusted ultimately, it cannot be done except in conjunction with the Treasury department, which depends on it as a source of revenue. Food, Price and Business. The effects of high prices, as re- flected by the reports for March busi- ness, appear to be as enigmatical as their causes. Bank clearings reached the highest figure ever attained in March, while consumption diminished in volume. Both results are at. tributed directly to the general rise in the level of prices, emphasizing the old theory that high prices are en- tirely relative, desirable for the man who sells, undesirable for him who buys. . Bradstreet's shows that not only did consumption fall off, but that the gen- eral tendency of demands was for a cheaper article, This applles espe- clally to footwear and woolen goods. Cotton has been declining for some time, but March witnessed a slight re- vival in prices for the better grades. The railroad business but adds to the paradoxical aspect of the general situation. While earnings were 15 per cent more than they were at the same time a year ago, there was a strange and sudden, though not large, increase in the number of idle freight cars. Business fallures for the month were slightly in excess of March in 1909 and building In cities, the quickened impulse of activity in Chicago and other western towns, fell of 7.8 per cent. ‘With due regard for the theory that prices dominate, other elements, such as strikes throwing vast numbers of people out of employment, cannot be entirely overlooked as a subsidiary cause of these conditions. Opinion differs as to the outlook.for prices, but there s strong belief that if pres- ent crop indications hold out food prices will be lower by autumn. Ku)ung Back to 1896, In his Jefferson day letter Mr, Bryan insists on harking back to 1896 and pointing to the existing high cost of living as a vindication of his demand for 16 to 1 free coinage ‘‘as the one remedy for falling prices.” now,” he continues, ‘“considsr the quantitative theory of money as cstab- lished beyond dispute and proceed to the consideration of other questions.” One would suppose that Mr. Bryan wduld by this time conclude it to be at least discreet to steer clear of the dead isfues on which he foundered in times and try 10/ make D false prewhlnn in: of directing alfention ‘to them anew. It was not the quantitative theory of monmev for which Mr. Bryan.stood in 1896, but for the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the sacred ratio of 16 to 1; it was to avenge the “‘crime of 1873 and to lift from humanity the burden of the gold standard which 'was blocking all human progress that he pleaded. In his famous ‘‘cross-of- gold” speech Mr. Bryan said: It they ask us why we do npt embody in our platform all the things that we belleve in, we reply that when we have restored the money of - the constitution all other necessary reforms will be possible; but that until* this {s done there s Do, other reform that can be-accomplished In 1896 Mr. Bryan i ver and wheat were, in together, and that the price of wheat could never rise so long as the price of silver remained down. If he made the prediction once, he made it hun- dred#' of times,’ that prices would con- tinue to fall so long as we retained the gold standard, that the gold standard was a conspiracy of the money power to keep prlcel falling and that there could be no possible reliet from’ beset- ting evils untli this crime against man- kind was undone by opening the mints to silver. The incontrovertible logic of events Las so thoroughly punctured the asser- tions and afguments on which Mr. Bryan waged his first battle that there was long ago notbing left of thém but | fhreds. The republicans declared in 1896 that prosperity would be restored through the re-establishment of confl- dence in our monetary standard by ey jecting the repudiators and by the op- eration of the protective tariff, while Mr. Bryan answered that Industry would never revive until 16 to ] was written on the statute books. If Mr. Bryan sees in the prevailing prosperity a vindication of his position in 1896 his vision embraces more than is pat- ent to the naked eye. is renewed of the diff- high- Complaint culty encountered here to get class men to serve on the jurles. The laborer, skilled at any trade, is actu- ally money out of pocket when he has to put in his time in the jury room at two dollars a day, when he would be earning two to three times that amount at his regular occupation. John Temple Graveés suggests & fusion of the democratic party with the Independence league. That will strike Mr. Bryan in a tender spot. In his home state Mr, Bryan has always been for fuslon with anytWing that looks ke votes for Mr. Bryan. F. D.

Harriman, and continue thelr dealings with the present hend of the Union' Pacific company, Rob- ert Bcott Lovett, remark the contrast In temperament and business methods of theé masterful rallroad manager and hi# suc- cessor as reflected at the company's office, 10 Broagway, New York. It would be difficult to find two men who have been closely allfed In the management of a great corporation so utterly unlike on the per- sonal side. The difference has been noted trequently since President Lovett settled in.the vacant chair, and Is sketched with fluminating detalls by a correspondent of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Physically the writer pletures the new president as a tall, well-bullt man with a kindly face. He is smooth shaven, exposing firm, rough-hewn features. When he gets up from a chair he stands an even six feet tall, with just enough- flesh on his well-knit frame to avoid being called slender. He has a kindly way about him that begets permanent friendship ‘almost at the first mioment of meeting. He has a keen disrelish for wolinding ‘anybody's feelings. In each of these characteristics ho is directly the op- posite of Harriman. Edch day Judge Lovett s besteged by callers who desire to talk to him on mat- ters of comparative unimportance. He tries to see as many of them as his limited time from the pressure of other business makes feasible. Harriman's aim was to see,no one. For two or. three years prior to Harri- man's - death an employe of the Harriman offices—a secretary to one of his chiet assistants—had been chafing under a bus- iness grievance, an unjust discrimination, as the employe belleved, that he was anx- fous’ to bring .to. Harriman's parsonal at- tention.” Bit although his empleye had his desk only & room or two away from Hur- riman’s private office he found It fmpos- sible to get to Harriman for a private con- versation. The financial wizard had not time or inclination to talk to him. From this one may gather how much chance a person from the outside world would have to get a few minutes' chat with Harriman, But now_ all this s changed. The day after Judge Lovett took Harriman's place, the employs with the grievance requested an opportunity to talk with him in private. They drew up their chairs and fanned the whole matter out In & short time. At the close of the talk Judge Lovett sald: “1 belleve what you have told me. You have not been treated fairly. From now on I hope you will regard me as your friend. I do-not’ want anybody in this office to have just cause for dissatistaction.” The dissiinflarity in the personalities of Harriman and Judge Lovett re so marked fthat employes about the Harriman offices Ao not look back on these days antedating Ahefr formér chlef's demise with any great There was something @dominant about' Harrimian. He had every- body about his offices strangely intimidated. Coupled with this was an frritabllity due to the high pervous tension upder which he worked, that, made It far’from a.pleasure to_be_entolled among. the statf of employes ho, intp personal covtact with him, For, exgmple; He was a poor hand at dlc- tating letters; . his mind worked so, much jmore_rapidly than he could voice his thoughts that he made many mistakes. But It was & rare thing for a stenographer in doubt about Harriman's meaning, to have the nerve to ask him what he was trying to say, or to change a phrase he had dic- tated. Harriman was constantly keyed to such a pitch that he had no sense of the pas- sage .of time. He would order & message sent somewhere and before the messenger had left his presence would want to know it the reply had arrived. Judge Lovett is'as calm as Harfiman was excitable, He dictates or lssues orders in &' conversational tone. - Harriman has been khown to approach & stenographer who had his back toward him and begin dictating a telegram without even calling the stenographer by name or giving him any way ‘of’ knowing that he was being dictated to. Harriman never went out for lunch at noon. He had his meal brought to the of- fice, and even ‘then rarely ‘found time to taste it eaflled than 3 or 4 o'clock In the afternoon. And by the same token, he seemed to hold a personal grudge against those who did go out to get & bite of lunch. To him it seemed less crass to sat- Isfy money greed than animal hunger. No Harriman office “employe—no matter how high salaried he might be—could ever slip out for-a bite to eat with any assurance that he would not be sent for ere he had finished his lunch. If Harriman wanted him, the lunch could wait over till the next day. When Harfiman's death was announced the chances for good digestion about his ptfices immediately advanced at least thirty points. Judge Lovett differs from Harriman in | that he denles the right of big businegs to sidetrack completely his creature comforts. The same in regard to his employes. | Promptly at 1:30 o'clock each day—without | regard to the pressure of business on hand | ~he goes to lunch at the Lawyers' club. Heo takes his time, mingles with his fellow men and endeavors to make his midday | meal a soclal as well as & gastronomic oc- casion, Judge Lovett still lacks a few months of belng 0 years of age. Just now it is his strong destre that the “judge” approach to his name be dropped. He wishes to be regarded as a business man-a raflroad | man—rather than as a lawyer. But his title clings, and seems likely to. PERSONAL NOTES.
