mild way into the realm of business has come to
sich proportions that it registered itself in
necent high-handed forceful removal of a busi-
ness head from his private office while the gov-
‘eminent took over. That incident did more to
atouse pronounced opposition than all the cumu-
lative things of a lesser significance during this
wer.

(Men who stoood before fc<r some of the ad-
ministration followers, turned completely around,
announced their open opposition to members of
Congress and demanded a house cleaning.
Others who thought that the intrusion into
thi field of private business as was carried on in
the name of tjhe war would let down when the
war i3 over. But that incident convinced them
U-at it was time to be really alarmed.
The gymnastics through 'which the deparJmenl
manned by Mr. Biddle went in order to justify
the act was puerile and fur-fetdhed for men of
$2.50 so .nd reasoning ability to accept. It did not
become the administration's imost ardent apolo-
getic *
So whether or nat business of the future has
any grounds of being fearful, there is so much
smoke to be seen on t|he horizon of things, that
the most of us are inclined to believe there must
of necessity be the procuring cause in some
kind of fire.
CANCELLATIONS must be received by 10 a.
*i order to avoid publication in current inu*.
THERE MUST BE SOME FfRE WITH
SO MUCH SMOKE
There are those who minimize the threat which
is considered by a great ,many business men and
publishers to be hanging over the future of free
enterprise in this country, and say that every-
thing Svill right itself when this war is ovpr.
That may be true, but there was no such
sounding of the need to see that such freedom is
forthcoming immediately this war is over during
th< period of world war one.
Encroachmests that first Parted out in a
One astute business observer said recently
that if Denison grew tto any considerable extent
in a business way in the future it must of
necessity take cognizance of the 200 and 100
blocks since there was no other direction in
which it could grow and stay on the main stem.
That is an observation Worth pondering.
—oo-
The Steps being taken to promote the forth-
coming dedication of the Denison dam is well
ard good and the big day should rpeeive all the
attention it deserves Bdt a follow through to
last indefinitely is quite, if npt more, important,
in order to gather up all /that is to h|e had in
this fine plum.

One of the prominent papers
of the nation which has always
believed in municipal ownership
of electric power, now comes
out “flat footed” in opposition
to a program for one of the ^ „
greatest Federal power projects „The ^
to take over a local private elec-
tric company. It bases its ob-
jections on two grounds;
(1) That thousands of local
stock and bond holders woulSf
not he adequately protected, and
(2) that it does not want to see
the Federal government get a
further grip on the affairs of the
statte.
A lot of good people in sanc-
tioning a city going into the elelc-
trie business and putting private
citizens out of that line of indus-
try, have overlooked the princi-
ple involved, namely, that you
cannot have free industry and
socialized industry at the same
time. The socialized industry,
with all the taxing power ami
authority of government behind
it, once it is given & foothold, is
bound to absorb the free indus-
try.
So those who favored local
“According td informjaitioP
received from headquarters.,” it
was announced today by Cap-
tain Andrew R. Davis, local pro-
curement officer of the Marine
