IS HISTORY TO BE REPEATED?
the flax mills, and finally becoming
a Salvation Army worker, when she
and Harry Lauder linked their desti-
nies in 1890.
Lauder was a natutral comedian,
although he never suspected it until
necessity called forth his reserve and
placed him upon a pedestal of fame.
Being thrown out of work because of
a strike among his craft, and looking
around for something to keep the
wolf from the door, his wife encour-
aged him to try his luck as a profes-
sional comedian. His suclcess was
marked from the very beginning, and
he soon reached thte pinnacle, be-
coming easily one of the most pop-
ular entertainers in songland. He
was knighted by King George of Eng-
land in 1919. Their first great grief
was occasioned by the loss of their
son, Capt. John Lauder, who was
killed in the battle of the Sommc in
1916. And now Sir Harry has lost
his companion of 37 years.
The countless thousands who have
been made to smile by his consum
It seems likely that the next session
of Congress will witness strong at-
tempts to embark the government on
the sea of business on a large scale,
in spite of the failures which have in-
variably followed previous govern-
ment operations in that line.
Government operations of the rail-
roads during and following the war,
the enormous losses to the United
States Ship'png Board and the mis-
erable failure to handle the Muscle
Shoals project are striking examples
of Uncle Sam's ineptitude for large
business undertakings.
The case was stated concisely by
Congressman Wright of Georgia dur-
ing thte last hearings on Muscle
Shoals before the House Military
committee. He said:
"The existence of the project at
Muscle Shoals was brought about by
the exigencies of war. It seems to
have resulted in leaving in the hands
of Congress a piece of property in
which it has invested $100,000,000.
''Does it not accentuate and empha-
size the impropriety, if not the folly,
of the government trying to engage in
private business?
. "Is it not one of the many illustra-
trations where the government always
gets into trouble when it ^undertakes
to set itself up in competition with
citizens."
And he might have added that after
six years of wrangling in Congress
the Muscle Shoals quest'on is no
nearer settlement than it twas in 1021.
A SAD POSTLUDE
Not only Scotchmen, but thousands
of men and women in all climes will
share the grief of a former Scotch
miner, who has just lost his sweet-
heart of 37 years, a former Salvation
Army lassie.
Harry Lauder, who has made the
World laugh at his dialect songs, while
;their melody and sentiment have driv-
en from many a weary heart its sor-
Irow for the time, has lost his w:fe,
who, it is reported, died after a sur-
gical operation a few days ago.
The rise of this sturdy Scotchman
with his helpmeet forms a romantic
episode in the annals of British his-
tory. Lauder was born to a miner's
toil, and grew up among those with
whom his lot was cast by force of
circumstances, rather than by choice.

Short crops, short collectitons, short j|a

When that cannot be helped it is un-
