DISHONESTY DIFFICULT It still is possible for the dishonest person or concern to do business and perhaps to prosper, at least for a while. But it is far more difficult to get by with fraud, deceit and irres ponsible methods than it was only a decade ago.- There is no panacea, and probably will be none, for a scoundrel-proof or fool-proof world. Persons inclined to practice fraud and other forms of dishonesty will find ways to do it. under the best of conditions; and as far ahead as anybody can see there will be people who are gullible enough to furnish the scoundrel and the faker a prom ising field for operation. But the go ing is likely to become harder and the pickings by the way more scant. The forces at war against dishonesty are combining and gathering strength; they will not readily be circumvented. In a recent address at Chicago, E. H. Simons, president of the New York Stock Exchange, pointed to an increasing realization on the part of legitimate business that dishonest dealing is its chief enemy. Not to mention the waste, suffering jand injustice it entails, such dealing tends tc undermine pub lic confidence in all business. So it is, Mr. Simmons explained, that such concerns as bucket shops practically have been eliminated. Alertness of the postoffice department is putting a check on the practice of fraud through use of the mails. Blue sky operations are' not easy in many of the states. Credit concerns and agencies are closely organized, and people who purchase goods on time are finding it increasingly difficult to evade payment by moving from one place to another or by other methods that once availed. One of the effective agencies of compara tively recent origin in this field is the Better Business Bureau, such as is at work in Kansas City and more than forty other large centers of the country. This institution, national in scope, now is co-operating with 10.000 business firms, it is said, and there are plans for its extension. The individual oi the establishment that attempts to operate on a fraudulent basis today runs a constant risk of apprehension and exposure, together withe possible conviction and pun ishment. Honesty, in the great ma jority of cases,-is the voluntary course both of a deliberate policy or a natural inclination, there seems to be more chances than ever before that it can be made to prevail. -:o:- The office, of course, is spared the necessity of seeking the man, but then, on the other hand, the issues have a tough time of it. :o:- A private in the Chinese army, as privates everywhere and at all times do, takes orders from everybody, but so does a Chinese General. :c:- Whatever becomes afterwards, we sometimes wonder, of the imposing appearance the clothing salesman said the new suit gave us. :o:- Many great inventions are the re sult of an accident, but it seems that the man who invented the sax ophone did so deliberately. ' :o: r- The democratic party is right, or it could not have lived as long as it has. Put that in your pipe and smoke it to your heart's content. :o: The army has a fighting plane equipped with six machine guns and ,250 bombs. It will probably be 'christened the Spirit of Chicago. j I :o: j Mrs, Al Smith is not a politician but a perfect lady, who, to say the least is a handsome lady, and enjoy ing her visit at Houston very much. :o:- The old days might be defined as the time when they could get up a pretty good defense In a murder trial without mentioning "psycho sis." -:o:- Monument has just been unveiled in France to Marie Harel, who con cocted Camambert cheese. Let the monument of Limburger's inventor stay covered. -:o:- We have yet great faith in Sen ator Reed, that he will do nothing that will annoy the nominees and will give him genuine support. Mis souri needs him. :o:- There are many theories of Mr. Coolidge's refusal to run again, but we think we have it. He wanted to fish with worms without stirring up the ethical society. :o: It seems the unhappiest people in the world are those who suddenly find they are unnecessary in the lives of others. This is particularly true of devoted mothers when their chil dren grow up, drift away and moth ers find they have no one to serve. The old hymn reads: "Ceasing to give, you cease to have." GOV. SMITH SPEAKS OUT Gov. Al Smith of New York is no hypocrite. He declines to stand on a policy of evasion and cowardice. He has declared himself as opposed to Federal prohibition as it stands and in favor of the right of the states to determine whether or not they shall have prohibition, Gov. Smith's declaration came af ter a statement by Norman E. Mack, national committeeman from New York, expressing the hope that the prohibition plank adopted by the Democratic convention at Houston would square with Gov. Smith's posi tion. "He is for states' rights," said Mack, and added: Gov. Smith has stood and always will stand i'cr personal liberty and states' rights, lie is opposed to pro hibition. He is fcr temp-rauif. When Mr. Ma'k said tiat he did! not speak for Governor Smuh but for himself Mr. Van Names, Gov. Smith's manager at Hcutcn. said no one was authorized to spe-ik for the Governor. The New York World took the question to the Governor. The World asked the Governor. "Have you changed your belief that there should be a change of the present prohibition provision?" "I have not." replied Gov. Smith, putting emphasis on the "not." So the fight is on in the Demo cratic convention for a clear declar ation in favor of Democratic prin ciples and sound policy with regard to Federal prohibition. If the con vention follows Gov. Smith's frar.k and honest declaration it will cour ageously meet the issue raised by the Republican platform. If it lacks the courage to stand by Democratic principles it cannot consistently nom inate Gov. Smith. It will confess a policy of evasion. :o: MOTHER'S DAY AND OTHER DAYS These days of special oservance are becoming too many to know much about either as to irigin or date. But Mother's Day and Father's Day just happen to have a little re corded history. Mother's Day comes on the second Sunday in May, and appears to have originated with the Mother's Day International Associa tion, which was founded by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia. It first got a standing in 1914, when Con gress proclaimed the day by resolu tion, and harks back to the old Eng lish custom of visiting one's parents on Mid-Lent Sunday. Father's Day sprang up in the American expedi tionary forces abroad during the war, whose origin, the Stars and Stripes, proclaimed it with the ap proval of General Pershing. That day, however, was then in November and now it is the third Sunday in June, for reasons we cannot explain. As for the other "days." here or coming. Children's Day, Sister's Day, Aunt's Day, Mother-in-Law Day, and so on, who knows where they came or are to come from? They seem to just drop out of the sky without a trace. Their origin is as nebulous as a fashion, all of whose force they sometimes attain. There are about 15,7 65 publicity and other leagues and associations in the countrj-, more or less busybody, and among them may be one devoted to promulgating happy thoughts and suggestions. Perhaps that is where these special observance days come from. :o: And while we answered no, to "Am I keeping up a front by living beyond my means?" what we should have answered was not much of a front. Our Rep air Garag e is kept constantly busy because mo torists recognize it as the best and most reliable repair shop for every kind of damage a car can possibly sustain. And, being practical men of long and varied experience, all our ;jGjAiRAGE ML sFF repair work is excellently and thor oughly done, without unnecessary de lay and at reasonable charge. Frady's Garage Phone 58 CONTROL OF THE SENATE The United States Senate was the 1 major objective of the Power Trust in its effort to forestall investigation i of it3 practices or comparison of its prices with those of Government hydro-electric operation. The correspondence of John B. Sheridan, publicity man' for the utilities in Missouri, reveals the closeness with which the power peo- j pie follow up members of the Senate in their effort to control that body. They wanted to know how to reach Senator Reed of Missouri, and Sheri dan dutifully detailed what he con sidered the best means of reaching the Senator. Sam Lazarus, who had given $50,000 to Reed's campaign in 1922, and who therefore had $30. 000 worth of influence with the Sen ator, had unfortunately died. The Senator has a brother in Iowa who k riii t in t crt r ti fl i n fr rn!!if litiHtv man in that state. Sheridan advised see ing the brother, whose advice, he understood, went further than that of anybody else. Evidently the effort failed, for Senator Reed voted against the Pow er Trust whenever he was present. In the principal test of the Trust's strength in the Senate, the vote on the Walsh resolution, he was not present. He did. however, eritisize exclusion from the inquiry of the political activities of the power in terests and their contributions to campaign funds He also voted against sending the inquiry to the Federal Trade Commission, and he voted for Government operation of Muscle Shoals. But Senator Reed, by Sheridan's admission and that of his corres pondents, is difficult, and the failure to control him was not the usual luck of these field workers for the Trust. It is a warning to the people. If they want their interest served they will send to the Senate men who are not to be swerved from their duty by the powerful agencies to which their power exposes them. It is a damnable business, compar able in its consequences to actually buying seats in the Senate for pub lic utility men, as Insull sought to do in Illinois. :o: The blue birds, the -red birds and even the mocking bird of the south are whistling for Al Smith.
