IU£ little Fi x IT liOVS
Some maaufactirre:s approhend
trouble when the war ends. They
think Europe will then make a vio
len* effort to sell goods iu all
markets, especially in this market,
With a world trade to rehabilitate
and several milliou discharged sol
diers at hand clamoring fcr em
ployment, Eurropo may cut prices,
throw in trading stamps, distribute
free cigars and otherwise plaut
thorns Li our commercial path.
Fu rtunately the manufacturers
have taken their apprehensions to
Secretary Redfield, and he is going
to 'ix it for them. He will have a
law passed to protect them. The
law will provide for the creation
of a Universal Little L-rd Fauntl©
roy Trade Commission to see that
nobcly anywhere competes. with
America except iu a gentlemanly
au I considerate manner. It shall
be empowered to examine anywhere
in t!:o .vorid, a manufacturer's in
voices, books and conscience.
If it finds him coinyetirj; rudely
twice and say "Fie! Fie!" if he
peisisis in being naughty after that
the commission shall give his dis
tress. d American competitor a
stick of red candy aad tell him
net to cry.
Of course there is no difficulty
whatever—of a commercial or any
other natirre—that cannot instantly
be removed by just passing a law
about it, preferably one creating a
commission.
We wonder what would happen to
the genius of universal legal regu
lation at Washington If some ogre
should cut off its currls, put It in
long pants and push it out of doors.
—Saturday Evening Post.
EMERGENCY LAWS
Most o£ the big reforms that have
come about from one age to an
other were first put in force as
emergency laws. The abolition of
slavery iu this country, for instance,
was a war measure. So was the in
come tax, originally, and so was
the internal revenue tax on whiskey
and tobacco. The German Reichsta
plans to adopt rules for the r©gu
lation of food supply. After the
war is over will all those rules go
by the board? The Rassian govern
meat wiped out the trade in vodka.
Will the prohibition era end when
the war does? The chances are
that Bome of these emergency re
gulations will stick, wen after
peace comes. People will see the
s;or>d results that come from cer
tain fOi-ms of government parental
ism, nnd will not be jvilling to go
back to the old hit-or-miss policies
of Individualism. It may depend
more ot less on how long the war
lasts; how long it will take before
th<» people will get used to gov
ernment interference. From the J

It was a student of human na
ture who, wishing to make his
men out in more hours of work, in
a half civilized community, import
ed jewelry, and trifles for women s
wear and offered them for sale.
When the women will have these
ihings the men mus' work.
The man of middle age -who lias
not ach'eved success, Is envious of
I the succcoo of others. Ha then
realizes, mat auixess la vi
sible, any longer for him. With
1 youth, the case is quite different.
Inferiority in the young man spurs,

NATIONAL SECURITY
LEAGUE TO HOLD CONGRESS
Realizing that to ascertain the
extent of the country's need for na
tional preparedness a broad under
standing of world politics and Am
erica's relation thereto is essential,
and that there can be no real state
of prepareduess except through de
velopment of the individual's sense
of responsibility to tho nation, and
j the utilization of its resources as
well as the proper equipment of
r^g'jlar and volunteer forces, the
National Security League proposes
to held a congress which will be an
open forum for presentation and
discussion of the vital related ques
tions above referred to by men of
recognized eminence iu their re
spective vocations.

sourdough days are
REPRODUCED IN SEATTLE
The Arctic club of Seattle recent
ly held Us annual sourdough din
ner, when caribou meat and othor
Alaskan products formed a greater
portion of tho menu. Three hun
dred guests were preseut, and good
fellowship reigned supreme.
Following the dinner tho annual
celebration was held, jvheu the
gambling and dancehall days of tho
north were reproduced. Many of
the old-time gamblers were manipu
lating the games with the same old
players on the outside of the tables.
Hundreds of persons, who had
never seen the northern oanips dur
ing the early days when gambling
games were run wide ortftj, attend
ed the affair to see if the reproduc
tion compared with the stories they
had he;< rd of the north.
A wireless instrument had been
Installed on tho roof of the Arc
tic club building, and durine the
evening messages were received
from Govornor Strong and other
Al:iskans, who regretted they were
unable to be present.
CULTIVATE JUDGMENT.
Its Possession Is What Makes a Man
Succcssful In Bus'nass.
It wns one of the Intellectual Rho< ks
of my young manhood to discover that
an analytical chemist could often get
only $0O a month. I haj. long looked
with awe upon the accurate percent
aires nt:d detailed rcp»rts of tiie ana
lytleal chemist. This water contains
2.341 grains of such and such sub
stance per gallon. 1 woiiflercd at the
marvelous man who could get out such
Gae results, and to learn that he at
times gets but Jf.'iO a month wns a
shock.
The explanation Is this. Tlie chem
leal analysis of ordinary specimens is a
technical process of a |.erl'eotly definite
lbftrow:i. Ai ct *. dtvamiC Uilll
therefore capable of being reduced to
clear cut Instructions the pay that It
commands Is not likely to be high, even
though the work itself Is complicated.
It requires good memory and painstak
ing obedience to Instructions. Many
persons have these qualities. The
scarce attribute Is Judgment, that in
definable quality capable of meeting a
new situation and handling It with
common sense or gumption, to put it In
a homely term.
Judgment is indefinite. We cannot
lay out Instructions in advance to tell
the manager how to meet situations.
To buy good raw material he must
learn to know the raw materials, nnd
many of the tests lie applies are too
flue for words to reduce to Instructions.
He must decide for Indefinite reasons
that now Is a good time to enlarge or
retrench; that here i a good place to
open up business; thai now Is a good
time to buy or to run low on stock;
that this man needs to be hired; that
this man needs to be tired.
It is iu the making of decisions that
successful management lies. And niost
of these decisions are beyoud rule.
They are Indefinite. They are judg
ment. — Engineering Mag-.i nine.

Misplaced Sympathy.
Through the busy Glasgow streets a
stalwart policeman led a little chUil by
the hand.
A motherly looking woman paused
before them for a moment Then, In
a sudden burst of sympathy, she bent
over the child and kissed her.
"Puir wee lamb!" she breathed soft
ly. "She looks sae cauld and starved
like, and she hlsnae been wesbed fur
t week. Some folks canna be trusted
*T bairns, wicked, cruel things they
ire. Whaur did ye fln' the wean, polls

"Find the wean, wuman?" snorted
