But at last they find themselvei
"•aught in a tidal wave of adveraa
public opinion which, gathering
force from the many outrageous oc

that have ranged all the way from

Investigating business has been

it tan be excused for thinking it
feels like a dog just released from
a vivisection laboratory.
Cut one good turn deserves an
other. Also, turn about is fair
play. That is what a number of
business men in Chicago think.
And they now seriously propose aa
investigation of the federal gov
ernment by the business men of
the country.
It would be a big job. But so

tion of business. And it would be
well worth while. For instance
i lie country would very much likJ
to know whether or not it is to
get full value for the more than
two billion dollars ■which the
present congress will have appro
priated before it adjourns sine die.
And, for another example, it is en
titled to know whether the posi
otfic department can be conducted,

manner as to improve the service
greatly and turn an annual profic
of from $30,000,000 to $100,000.

creasing the charge on the public
in any way.
The federal government has
shown the people how business was
conducted and has laid down new
rules for it. Now it is no more
than right, and certainly desirable,
that business should show the
1 eopie how the federal government
is being conducted, and suggest a
few new rules.

To the Happy
Little New Year
Yo* bring .is happiness. delight.
Renewed each soul and heart tonight.
Fair child of purity and grace,
We liken to your soul ana face
A lily bright.
The old year dies; now roseate grows
The dawn o'er mountains capped with
snows.
Your breath so faint, of fragrance rare,
Your smiling lips we would compare
To blushing rose.
Athwart the east a ruddy bar,
Your father. Time, awaits your car.
When you alight what glad surprise,
What happiness, shines in your eyes.
Bright morning star!
Oh, sweet and happy little one.
To every weary mortal run!
Lily and star and rose are you.
And faith and hope you will renew
'Neath New Year's sun.
