O. S. in the direction ©: President Cal, there comes forth a selling circular from # New York brokerage firm that shows how easy it is for @ coddled infant to set up a howl at the sight of a safety pin. The Great Western Sugar Co., incorporated in 1905 and being “the largest producer of beet sugar in the United States,” has some stock for sale, the brokerage concern urges. The company owns and operates 16 beet | sugar factories in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming and > Nebraska, with an annual capacity in excess of 7,000,000 100-pound bags of sugar. That identifies it. Now for its » Message to prospective purchasers of stock: The circular says that “for the eight years ended February 29, 1924, net earnings after depreciation, fed- ral taxes at present rates and preferred dividends, aver- “ged $12.76 per share.” Further, “in the year ending February 29, 1924, such net earnings amounted to $17.99 share.” That looks healthy—eh? But let’s go on. “According to the balance sheet of May 31, 1924, cur- Yent assets amounted to $45 .475, which compares with current liabilities of $1, 4 ying a net working | eapital of $43,717,240, an amount equal to nearly one and | one-half times the outstanding stock of the company.” | Poor, poor infant! But what of dividends? Not much except that, for » Nearly eight years last past, these dividends “have aver- ged an amount equal to about $7.50 per share on the Humber of common shares now outstanding. Dividends ‘are now being paid at the annual rate of $8 per share,” Por about 32 per cent. Quite a tidy investment, it may he concluded. |" Yet the beet sugar men are crying aloud that any low- ead of the sugar tariff will ruin their industry. They nt us to go on paying a duty of two cents a pound on Sugar imports, in order that they may revel in the riches the Great Western company proudly boasts—when it desires to sell stock. These infant industries sure do need a lot of pap and sugar plums at public expense. It’s a Dry Idea e 13 WILL be recalled that Congressman J. W. Langley, '& of Kentucky, was recently convicted in U. S. court of ‘trafficking in liquor, contrary to the law in such cases made and provided, and that his case is now in a higher court on appeal. Meantime, Langley has been renomi- ed for congress in his district, and he was not opposed the Anti-Saloon league, as everybody had expected he Ould be. Indeed, that aggressive organization does not €ven now oppose his re-election, despite the rather con- Vincing testimony against him in court. The strange attitude of the league, that is so dry as to “be inflammable on occasion, piqued the interest of one Kentucky citizen, at least, and he made direct inquiry. | Reply was of prompt return, and it set forth that the Anti- ' Saloon league was not opposing Mr. Langley because, no itter what he may h4ve done with relation to violation E the law, jhe “has always voted dry whenever the issue arisen.” ‘It i is a dry idea, as can be plainly seen by those whose eyes are wet from laughing, as well as otherwise. We Have Had Enough 'ATHAN LEOPOLD, JR., promises to write a book in which he “will include a frank discussion of the phil- osophy which made possible the commission of the ‘crime _ for a thrill.’” | There should be no such book. There is no demand for exploitation of the so-called philosophy that contemplated ’ and carried into effect the shocking murder of an inno- - cent child. Its publication would be a crime little less - heinous than that committed by the author. All that the country now asks in this matter is that the confessed perpetrators of the murder of little Robert Franks take their punishment in silence and that they and all that pertains to them be forgotten as quickly as pos- ' gible. Their parade so far has been insufferable. Its con- airplane! an) tinuance in any form or shape would be unspeakable. IHE’S merely a nymph of the modern day, « like a streak.
