Interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in

lieved to be in full accord with fact.
Meddlers Drop Case
After five years of expensive
meddling in an effort to find
something wrong with the
methods of newspapers and ad
vertising agencies, the Federal
Trade Commission recently
gave up the task and dismissed
its complaint against the pub
lishers and agencies.
The utterly useless and futile
proceeding cost the newspap
er and advertising industry
more than $100,000 and no one
knows how much it cost the
government. The Commission
dismissed the case because
after five years it decided that
it had no jurisdiction in the
matter to begin with.
In the opinion of the New
York Sun the case was dis
missed on account of a recent
decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States that the
Federal Trade Commission has
no right to file a complaint
against anyone unless there is
a special and substantial pub
lice interest involved in the
matter at issue. The Sun fur
ther says:
“ If the court has checked the
Trade Commission’s costly in
terference with business a lot
of good has been done. The
commission has given some
wonderful examples of the
way to keep bureaucracy alive.
Now it investigates the du
Pont company’s nvestments of
surplus earnings. Again it sub
poenas 700 witnesses to give
their definition of castile soap.
In the present instance we see
thousands of dollars wasted
all for the preservation of bu
reaucracy.”
It would be interesting to
know whether in its 14 years of
operation the Federal Trade
Commission has ever per
formed a piece of work which
did not cost more than it was
worth to the public.
Car Biggest Cities
- I
Census reports show some
stiiking changes of rank
among the cities of the country
as compared with the 1920 fig
ures.
The relative standing of the ,
tii si four, I^Jew York, Chicago. !
Philadelphia and Detroit, is- j
unchanged, but Los Angeles j
jumps from tenth place to fif-.
th, displacing Cleveleand.
Most notable gains are shown
by several Southern cities, in- !
eluding Atlanta, Houston, Dal
as. Birmingham, San Antonia.
Memphis, and Fort Worth
Populations of Oklahoma City.
Tulsa, Chattanooga and Tam
pa were approximately doub
led during the decade, while !
Miami showed the greatest rel
ative gain among the largei
cities, rising from 29,571 to
110,025 and in rank from 255
th to 77th.
The United States now ha: j
tive -cities with more than a !
million population, 13 with i
more than half a million, 38 !
with moie than a quarter of a ,
million, and 93 with more than |
100,000. Including the above, j
there are 3G1 cities with more !
than 25,000 population.
Census figures do not always
£ive an accurate idea of the
number of persons living in the
various metropolitan areas,
however, as in many cases the
incorporated city overflows in- j
to adjacent counties and this
suburban population is not in
cluded in the census count, al
though practically a part of
ihe city concerned.

A Victim of Hard Luck
We have just read again
a real and absolutely true hard
iuck story. It concerned a
young man who was handi-'
capped to begin with by being
awkward, homely and almost
uncouth. He was ambitious,.
however, and ran for the IJli-'
nois legislature, but was badly
beaten. Then he went into
business with a worthless part
ner; failed and spent 17 years
in paying off his debts. In the
meantime he was engaged to a ;
beautiful young woman, who
died.
Nothing daunted, he ran for
Congress and was defeated. An
effort to obtain a government
appointment ended in failure,
i Aiming still higher he ran for
the United States Senate, but
| again his ill luck persisted and
he lost. He also failed in his
attempt to obtain the nominat
ion for Vice-President of the
| United States. At one time in
his life he contemplated sui
jcide, but soon recovered his
iron nerve and pressed on.
By this time the reader who
! knows his history may have
i guessed the name of this ap
paicntlv hopeless .victim of
Fate, who finally won success,
and whose name is enshrined
in the hearts of his country
men.
It was Abraham Lincoln.
