A Monopolist's Viewpoint
The new ci impel it ion", ain ty the an
swer to the riew com|»etjtion. liy 0.
H. Cheney, a New hanker, is
rather S|H*ctacuiar in its statement of
facts and its purported solution .of
needs of the country.
He certainly does embrace the new
idea or consolidation which prevails
in business circles today and points
to the fact —with apparent pride
thai we have fewer factories year by
year, and fewer men to man them.
The fallacy of his argument, from j
a purely democratic standpoint, can j
easily l»e seen, even hy a man with ;
glass eyes. He says, "more output,|
more power; fewer factories, fewer,
men " What does it mean? Simp- ,
m
ly- that the only tiling left for men J
to do is produce the raw materials,
the manipulation, or turning them
into useful articles, of which is the
work of machines that are dominate
ed by a few people, the power trust,
the transportation trust, and their -
kindred friends. He praises coopera
tion in, money, but apparently de-|
plores it in men.
He spills his truth in praising pri-l
vale competition, when he bases his,
Earl Carroll Gets Another Chance
Karl Carroll, the liath-tiib show
man has Leeiv paroled from the Fed
eral penitentary at Atlanta after
serving four months and one week
of a year-and-a-day sentence imposed
by a Federal court in New York
after his conviction for perjury.
The |>arolc provides that Carroll
shall not drink intoxicating bever- j
ages nor frequent places where li
quor is sold or furnished.. He, will
also be restricted during the term ofj
his parole from associating wit.li per (
sons of bad reputation and avoid
violating the law.
These requirementswill doubtless
-keep Carroll awav from practically
all of his old friends and place him
in an entirely ne watmosphere. Just
thing of an order requiring a man
to associate with sober and moral
|ieople. Carroll will doubtless re-

He violated the laws of his coun

seen the handwriting on the wall, and
his country has given him another
