It is a strange thing what an official title will cause many men and women to do. It is equally strange what many of them will attempt to do under the guise of the official sanction which they usurp at every opportunity. I do not intend to include all public offi- cials but I dare say that everyone who reads these lines can look about him and discover in his midst or recall others who, as soon as they began wearing a title, developed a "big head," got puffed up and otherwise assumed a attitude. The characteristics may show in a thousand-and-on- e different ways, and we all are more or less familiar with them. Few persons probably would need to be concerned if the circumstance involved only this outward appear-ancI am sure I wouldnt care whether some official believed himself to be a son of the and, therefore, counted himself great But when the mental attitude of that official begins manifesting itself as it so often does by usurpation of improper and illegal power; when he regards himself as judge and jury, as well as prosecutor, then it seems to me that a halt ought to be called. All of the above observations are made just as a prelude to discussion of a recent action by the department of justice. More accurately, it should be said the action was by Professor Thurmond Arnold who has great pride in his ability as a trust buster. He also frequently has let it be known with due modesty, of course that he possesses knowledge in many fields. His career as a university professor obviously fitted him with great understanding of problems and practices of business men. Mr. Arnold has not yet undertaken to solve the difficulties of agriculture, but I reckon that is only a question of time. e. sun-go- d any power vested in the department of justice for control of advertising. I should regret it very much if congress ever had passed a law giving authority for any agency of government to do more than prosecute advertisers who use dishonest statements. That is to say, if the advertising statements are crooked, punishment ought to follow. If the advertising is honest, what business has government horning into it? The reason I feel so keenly about this sort of thing is that it is a trend in government, from the national government on down the line, to do things indirectly to do many things without genuine authority of law. We as a nation always have supported the theory of rule by the majority. We have legislative bodies the congress, the state assemblies, the city councils and so onto enact the will of the majority into law. But in the motor case and in dozens of others which could be mentioned, the public official with the "boss complex takes things into his own hands and usually gets away with his perfidy. Undue Power la Given Into Hands of Bureaucrats Congress, itself, is to blame many times for putting undue power into the hands of bureaucrats. There is seldom any law passed by congress that does not include a provision which authorizes an executive agency, administering the statute, to promulgate regulations for carrying out the laws intent. Those regulations, needless to say, have the force and effect of law, and thus congress has delegated power about which the individual representatives and senators know nothing. On the other hand, except for the trait that I have been discussing one so boldly evident in Mr. Arnold those regulations could be drawn in nearly every instance to give individuals all of the freedom needIndictment Used as Club ed to transact business, instead of Over Auto Corporations piling one restriction upon another. But, again, I am not so much conI doubt very much that any one percerned with Mr. Arnolds own esti- son in the whole United States mate of Mr. Arnold, but with the knows all of the restrictions the results flowing from that officials dos and the donts that comprise acts. the law of the nation today.

He s deep-divin- ready to go. Frank Grissinger is his name, and he lives in Brooklyn, N. Y. And the worst jam Frank was ever in in his life, he says, was when he went down into the sea oft the lighthouse at New Bedford, Mass., to Albert J. Stone. raise the foundered tug-boa- t, Jack Gardner, another veteran diver, was Franks partner on that job. On October 16, 1918, they got the call, and were off on the wrecking tug Resolute, to raise the Albert Stone, which had gone down in 11 fathoms of water. Ttia Resolute was only doing the preliminary work. The huge derrick ship, Monarch, was to pick up the tug and raise it bodily out of the water, but first the divers had to get slings under her hull and make connections so that the boiler could be filled with air, making the tug rise more easily. The Resolute located the tug. Slings were hauled under its hull and they were all ready to tackle the boiler. That was Franks job, and he went down until his heavy iron shoes hit the hull of the tug. Groping his way along the deck, Frank found the door of the fire room and went treaty full text ference of Berlin, at the end of the Franco-Prussia- n war.
