H. Byington of Norwalk, Conn, got up on the morn- ing of Feb. 3, with a craving for fresh-laid eggs. He went to a grocery and bought some that were “warranted strictly fresh They cost 50 cents per dozen, but they were worth it—so fresh Beene “he first egg he took out of the box bore this inscription “The purchaser of this egg is requested to communicate with J. L. Thomason, Readyville, Tenn.” He did so and got this answer: “I sold the eggs Dec. 10, 1911; got 17 cents a dozen, Sup- pose you had to pay 25 or 30, didn’t you?” That's interesting. The producer got 17 cents, the whole- sale dealer (it appears on investigation) got 47 cents, the re- tailer got 50 cents, and Mr. Byington, the consumer, got “sold"—at least, he paid a tip-top price for “fresh” eggs about two months old We are gradually finding out things about high cost of living. This incident, for example, shows that the distance be- tween producer and consumer is too wide; that it costs too much to bridge it; and that middlemen who sell stale food for “strictly fresh” prices are mighty dishonest. But maybe we'll do better, after awhile. ag Dr. Cook says he'll throw up his hat for both Scott and Amundsen. Probably the same hat he ate that time at the North Pole. Babies are in fashion again, and right in the heart of New York swelldom, too. Nearly 135,000 were born in the metrop- olis last year, showing a gain of 24.12 per thousand over 1898, and the aristrocrats had their full share of ‘em, Parenthetically, it is explained that the much-discussed sta- tistics about no babies on Fifth avenue were unjust to that thoroughfare, anyhow, because they were based on a district inhabitated mostly by bachelors, old maids, widows, widowers and elderly folk whose children were grown up. What sense was there in trying to count babies in such a neighborhood? Well, we're glad. We are right on the job when it comes wien, for signs of healthy social progress. There's enough out looking for them. the other kind of signs sticking up under our noses, with- Bergson’s Big Job Prof. Henri Bergson of Paris, author of “Creative Evolu- tion,” who has got Europe thoroughly stirred up with his original thinking, is coming to America, The peculiar dis- tinction of his work on evolution is his presentation of the “vital . impulse” that animates creation and his attempt to reconcile spiritual with.material things. Now he is at work on a system of ethics which he hopes may be generally accepted by widely different minds. He says most of us would gladly do our duty, if we could only find out what duty is. That’s the rub! He is making an claborate study of society amd economics the hope that he may be able finally to evolve a true definition of man’s duty. Here's wishing you luck, professor, and when you beat the Sermon on the Mount and the Golden Rule we hope you'll let us know, Those who that Bob La Follette’s hat wasn't also in the ring might give the ring a thorough looking-over. What Year Is This? Some folks say 1860, They look for the emergence of great lead- fo! mente cen an real deliverance from vested wrongs, : they are mistaken. More likely we are living im the year bg or 1852, of the next great human uplift—certainly not later than Men learn to think In terms of country and humanity, rather than of mere party, before they can hope to scale the heights.

COMMERCIALIZED IT’S TICKLISH, I know full well, but we must come to it. All this talk about hurting business when @ moral issue is at stake is futile. ‘The easiest thing, of course, is to keep our mouths shut, This most of us are tempted to do. WE HAVE TOO MUCH commer- clalized morality these days. On all sides we héar the whisper: Don't say anything about this, or you will hurt somebody's business. is our friend, and we do not want to hurt his business.” GRANTED. HE MAY BE our friend, too. My experience has been that all friendships have a value, The more we know about any one, the easier it is to befriend him. If we knew each other bet- ter, there would be fewer ANTIPATHIES AND ENMITIES. Theodore Roosevelt once wisely said: “The greatest need in Amer- fea is for the people to know each other.” Still, too often over-indul- gent friends are like weak moth- ers who spoil their boys WITH PETTINGS, WHEN what they need Is a hickory-switch spank- ing. In time past businesses have simply judged themsetves by profit or loss. Today there is an awak- ening moral conscience, and when a business violates the MORAL SANCT 18 of the com- munity, it must stand trial before bar of moral j ent. If guilty, it must suffer the which ‘would fall upon the business. If they, also, must suffer, eines sie: A WEEK AGO there were an un- MORALITY usual number of objectionable pic- tures scattered over the city, Thou- sands saw them. There was much murmuring, but only a few had the courage to come out openly and de- nounce them. MY OBJECTION TO THEM was @ moral one, Something ought to be done to regulate the display of the material used in advertising. This is a long story, because adver tising in itself a mighty business. A8 a business it has CERTAIN PRIVILEGES and rights which should be respected But somebody is to blame for all displays which show low taste, if not suggestiveness, That somebody ought to be made to stop it. For this reason | APPLAUD THE APPEAL of Dr. BE. V. Shayler to bring about the regulation of all displays and the suppression of those Which offend the moral life of the people. I say that clean advertising pays better dividends than THE OTHER KIND, All that is needed is to organize the public con: science on these matters. It already is awake and aroused. Drive the shoddy businesses out of business, Hammer righteousness into the minds of the people. RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTETH the city, but shoddiness is a re- proach to any people. If you have become so sodden as to take any- thing and everything for granted and remain indifferent to the real moral value, it ja time something should be done to shame your soul.
