The lynching of Little was cowardly, inhuman, con- fy to every principle of Americanism, which guarantees to td men the right to trial.

What is a fair profit for us to take? This is one of the very important problems that's got to be worked out. It is safe to say that the vast majority of the smaller business concerns, especially the retailers, will have to take the ordinary profits. The popular tendency is to economize and the retailers’ overhead expense will in crease, somewhat. So, we may say that the vast ma jority of people in business will take but fair profits What about the profits on labor? Workers will un doubtedly receive more, but the rise in prices of their necessaries will surely prevent their taking more than a fair profit Hence, we have the vast body of small business men and the mighty multitude of mere wage-earners who can- -» 1.
