Hoboes of Yesteryear A correspondent, in a rambling but interesting letter, Bays, among a hundred other things: “Give me a regi- ment of American hoboes and I'll lick any other two Tegiments alive.” He is probably right; certainly so if he includes in hobodom that old army of itinerant workers that did the rough stuff of a pioneer nation for 40 years. There was the lad who followed the cattle trails from the Panhandle to Dodge City and Omaha; the husky citizen in blanket shirt and spiked boots who bucked down the big trees; the roving range rider and puncher, who threw in with a new outfit every fall. There was the hard rock man and the structural steel man; the red-faced lumber jack; the lad who followed the thresh- ers from Oklahoma to North Dakota, and the desert tor who maybe made it across Death Valley, and Maybe did not. And the tough boys who went whaling, and the other tough ones who tried the White Pass in gotton sox. Roving gentry these, hoboes most of them at one time or another, hard as the rock they blasted, tough as the steel they hoisted, true as the mustangs they vanquished, and bold as the salt seas they tossed on. That breed was tough, also it was generous and chiv- alrous; no cowboy of the old West ever sneered when a ‘woman passed; no sailor man of the square-rigged ships affronted the hardest boiled landlady of the waterfront; mo howling wolf from Bitter Creek ever refused to put his pile on a tob-tailed straight, or divide his winnings with the first hard-luck guy who asked him. Some of those fellows got across to the Philippines, along with some of the Southern hillbillies and some of the Pacific coast pioneer lads, and while they weren't #0 much a much on parade and inspection and policing ‘quarters they surely could set forth on a dark night, one by each, and return at dawn with a nice string of goo goo pelts. A scattering few of these lads went across to No Man’s Land and disclosed to Heinie a few tricks in Indian am- bush that he had not before thought of; not that it did Heinie much good; he was too entirely dead to cogitate efficiently. Will we see their like no more in this drab land? I'm proof against that word “failure.” I've seen behind It.

Henry Ford Right About This Henry Ford, like every other successful man who as- gumes infallibility on a variety of subjects outsde his sphere, says a lot of things that are neither clever nor ‘true. But when it comes to analyzing industry Henry an edge on the average big business man because doesn’t give a whoop for precedent, “The employer does not pay the wages, the product the wages”—Henry said recently. It world be a thing for American business, and a finer thing for ‘American labor, if this proverb was made a general working motto. _ The employer who seeks to meet competitior by cut- F the pay check admits he is a failure. Wes come the same place profits do, from mamfactured ucts sold to advantage in the open, not th: favored, ‘ket.

Benevolent Autocracy At last the world has an example of benevolent autoc- _ -facy, that form of progressive despotism so much dis- a cussed and so seldom seen. The prefectural authorities at Osaka, Japan, have or- dered the large shops to hold bargain day sales in. an effort to lower the cost of living. The Japanese govern- ments wants to encourage the psychology of bargain days as a permanent stimulant for purchasers. But, there is no pleasing everybody. Osaka news- papers declare the small shopkeepers are indignant at the government’s order. shoppers in a small store bargain sale. The big stores will get all the advertising from the government's order and the little establishments fear they may be ruined. Nevertheless, the Osaka authorities have the right idea. President Harding might follow their example. If he will demand a court injunction enforcing bargain day sales in hard and soft coal, the psychological effect might even penetrate as far inward as the mind of Attorney General Daugherty.
