Wallace, secretary of agriculture, in Collier’s magazine. The article gives the new’ social and political horizons which Secretary Wallace believes must and will arise. The devils are the Wall Street devil, middleman devil, Red devil f-om Russia, the railroad devil and the foreign country devil. Mr. Wallace explains that the people have had a superstitious awe and fear of these devils which should be swept away. Striking forcefully at big business, Mr. Wallace states, "If the full truth ever were known about the way governmental influence has been used by great corporations, public indignation would know no bounds. Larger business men and their paid secretaries are continually trying to change the rules. “Unfortunately, we still have in government among business men many who are most interested in the short-time turns of the profit wheel. Some of these men know how to trim their sails so suddenly that they can profit just as well during
