When a pound of sugar leaves a refinery it is marked down as “consumed.” Government fig- ures show the consumption of sugar to have in-| creased nine pounds for every man, woman and child in the United States so far this year as against the same period last year. Now you and we believe that neither of us has consumed nine pounds more sugar so far this year than in the same period last year, though every cube, almost every grain of sugar last year was carefully counted out to the consumer. Is there not possibly another explanation?! Suppose speculators, wholesalers and others are} peering into the future, seeing the end of govern- ment control of sugar December 31. What next? Continued shortagé and immediate jump in prices. Is it too much to suspect that some clever traders here and there are having sugar stowed away at the present low price with a view of mar- keting it at twice or three times that price next year? As far as the refinery, giving out the figures, is concerned, sugar is “consumed,” as far as it is concerned, even though it be hoarded. | = REAL COMFORT Man chases all around the earth after some- thing, and then comes back home, all weary and disgusted and finds what he was looking for under the old tarpaulin down in the cellar. Take this thing of comfort, physical well be- ing, animal satisfaction. We have been inventing comfort these latter years, going in for scientific ease and accurate rest, Morris chairs, and hot water heating in the house, and reading lamps with green shades at our elbows, and hair mattresses, and fine woven springs, and thick rugs, and handy doo dads that. work automatic all over the place. And yet, for the average man, there is no com- fort in things like these, any more than there is good cooking in hotels, We defy anybody to devise a more comfortable situation than that offered by a split bottom rock- er beside an oven door, , Nobody with sense would ever care to live any- where but in the kitchen after: the first frost comes, Any normal man prefers his pipe, an old fash- ioned chair, slippers, and his feet in the oven, the oven of a big coal range that when it gets hot stays comfortable for a week. Any man, we say, pre- fers that simple environment just as he prefers mother’s feather bed,in January to all the contrap- tions science may hand out. No heating system ever compared with a stove, a base burner or a steel range, for comfort, re- liability and economy. But all over the country we fuss with furnaces in our homes. Try to heat a dozen useless rooms with a heating device that works only on warm days, and that eats expensive coal as a baler does hay. When, if we were not so wedded to conven- tion, so married to the useless formalities, so clut- tered up with forms and rites, we would shut up all the house but the kitchen on October first, and live in comfort with our feet in the oven, and the cider jug in easy reach. They even have abolished the kitchen in the most modern houses. They stick little dens in be- tween the pantry and bath room, dens with a two- hole gas plate, an electric stove, a few cupboards, and automatic devices, and some bare yards of white enamel, and call it a kitchen, Whereas a real kitchen is twice as big as any other room in the house, and holds the kitchen table, where you dine; and the sink, where you wash; and a big six-hole range, where you cook and meditate; and a lot of shelves for books, and cupboards, and plate rails, and pipe racks, and al- manacs and rag rugs, and pokers, and fire shovels, and baby’s shoes, and ma’s slippers, and pa’s mit- tens, and everything you need from October until April. Better yet a kitchen with a four-foot fireplace, and and-irons, and a warm brick floor, ad a crane with a bubbling pot of salt pork and white beans, and maybe a row of popping chestnuts.and baked } know nothing of the blessings of their lost estate, but certainly those who live in homes of their own, or who expect to, should not be robbed of the joy of winter living through the modish frivols of kitchen in its ancient heritage of hominess. MONUMENTS We are accumulating some monuments in this rlusively entitled to the use /country—that is, places that were the scenes of| | our history making. Its function is entirely sentimental rather than material. It restores and preserves all buildings that have had to do with the history of France. This French commission is made up for the most part of architects who-have made a special study of periods or historic styles of architecture. We are about ready for such a commission in this country. Some of the best of our historic monuments have only been preserved through the patriotic efforts of individual citizens. Some of the best examples of our splendid colonial architecture, even public structures, have been ruined by ill-advised changes and additions. The home and tomb of George Washington was only saved by the efforts of one woman, Miss Anna Pamela Cunningham of South Carolina. For 50 years after the death of General Wash- ington the property was owned and occupied by John A. Washington, a nephew of the father of our country. The land grew poor and keeping up the house and grounds became a profitless responsibility. The house became unsafe. John Washington offered the property to the government and then to the state of Virginia, but both offers were declined. Miss Cunningham organized the Mt. Vernon! Ladies’ Association of the Union that paid $200,- 000 for the house and grounds in 1859 and a large additional sum was expended in restoration. This organization now holds title to the build- ings and 200,000 acres of land around them, and it is made up of a representative woman from each state in the union. i An average of 13,000 persons visit Mr. Vernon per month. An admission fee of 25 cents, to- gether with the income from endowment funds, | not only pays for the upkeep, but many items of, the original furnishings have been reassembled. The restoration of the mansion indicates a close and intelligent study of the manner of build-| ing and landscape gardening of its time—even to the care and way of trimming of the original box hedges with which Washington speaks with such pride in some of his correspondence. Great precaution is taken against fire at Mt. Vernon, and a full set of drawings of all buildings hava been made so that they can be replaced in exact duplicate if destroyed from any cause. A national commission of historic monuments, if one is ever established in this country, can well take pattern from the organization that has ex- tended Mt. Vernon into all time. - Lae eECeneeemeD { WITH THE EDITORS | eee MAY PROFIT BY THE LESSON North Dakota is one of the few states which undertook to underwrite unsoundness and incom- petency in banking methods by adopting the Bryan fallacy of guaranteeing deposits. A large share of its people will have the cost of the experi- ment brought home to them if they are called upon to make good the loss in case the Scandina- vian-American bank at Fargo is proved insolvent as charged. It will be worth something to the country at large if the lesson is impressed by what occurs in North Dakota. There has been an un- thinking, unreasoning tendency throughout the land toward this guileful system and there is the hope that the explosion will alarm the people to a sense of its unsoundness in all cases and its dan- ger in most of them. Why the shareholders of one bank should be held to financial responsibility for the improvi- dence, carelessness and possible criminality of management of another bank never has been made rational. The thoughtless desire was to insure the safety of deposits without care for consequences, To tax one set of owners of bank shares to guar- antee honest and efficient management by bank officials of another institution is a novel concep- tion of responsibility, equal to making capability and integrity in one bank the hostage for similar qualities in its neighbor. There is neither moral nor economic soundness in putting a premium upon incorrect or dishonest banking methods and levying a tax upon the elements of success of banks in general, Bank guarantees have been urged in Minne- sota. The system was part of the Nonpartisan league plan of legislation and had it the power that organization would put over in Minnesota the financial schemes which have begun to uncover ; apples, . 4 Places like these are for comfort, and the de- velopment of all the homely and sturdy virtues of therace, ; ~_ Flat dwellers, apartment House outcasts, and in North Dakota, It ig hard upon the people of the latter state, but may be worth something to the former if it can profit by the rough and ex- pensive experience of its neighbor.—St. Paul, Dis- some benighted architect.
