There js no subject which the pub- c is more interested in just at pres- est than the high price of provender and the cause. It is a statistical fact that since 183 wages have advanced but 20 per cent, while the leading necessities have advanced 45 percent, which shows how much worse off the work- ing classes are today than they were 14 years ago. As one cause for present unbeara- ble conditions, the Waterbury Ameri- can gleans from a western source this m “A meat dealer in Youngstown, O.. says that an agent of a Kansas City packing house said that his firm had in eold storage 5,000 beef carcasses, which had been held in reserve for two years, awaiting just such an op- portunity as now presented itself. The agent expleined that the cold storage beef was being distributed now, at the high prices prevailing, and at the same time operated to slash the quo- tations on new beef, cutting the prices t which packers are buying more beef to be put in the refrigerating plants, 10 be held again for & repetition of the same process.” This, if & true statement, is some- thing which should be stopped. How long perishable food shall be kept in cold storage could and should be reg- ulated by law, not only in the mone- tary but the sanitary interest of the peaple. There is one timely backing which the movement against such high prices zets, and this is the backing of such reliable statisticians as Bradstreet’s and Dun's, which show that food prod- uets were mever so high as today in this land of plenty. Bradstreet's record covers prices on ninety-six commodities that enter in- dally consumption. and it shows on January 1 the cost of Nving ad inereased so that a new high rec- rd was established.

The attentfon of the chief of the bureau of ordnance wes called to the excessive charge for a certain piece of work, and he found of a total of $2,276.12, $1,217.92 had been incorrectly o to it. Mr. Meyer added: “That is what I claim in some instances has been going on in the past; that foremen have made excessive estimates; that they have kept a job order open after almost completing the job, in order that the workmen might be transferred to an- other job to cover the underestimate of another case, and this will show vou an example of irregular methods used, and Indicates that it is inadvisa- ble for the manager to have the cost and accounting system' under his su- pervision.” Irregular methods have been fol- lowed which gave a false idea of the kind and quality of stock used on a Job. Of five propellers which the man- ager at Mare island had been ordered to make, four were Of such Inferior quality that they had to be sent to the scrap-heap. Floor plates worth $1,500 were sent to the dump because their edges were a little rusty. This sensational evidence is official, and while not along the exact lines cxplored by the late Congressman Lilley, it shows that his contention was warranted and that if the inquiry had been fairly conducted valuable in- formation in support of his claims would have been forthcoming. The people’s money should not be thrown away. SPEED BOATS. In these days the motor boats built for pleasure seekers make a speed over twice that of the regular river steam- ers, or, in other words, “beat the cars” Boston this week is looking at motor boats designed and equipped with power to make from 25 to 30 miles an hour. A Boston paper says: “Crowds stand and admire the fincly turned lines of these swift and won- derful boats with thelr bows as sharp as a knife, their flat sterns and pow- erful motors. There are a half-dogen of these long, na speed boats in the exhibition, and included among them are some that already have won high reputations for their going pow- ers. There is the Dixie IL, a craft made especially for racing, and with a large part of its interior occupied by a tremendously powerful eight-cvl- inder V motor. The Dixie IL is the winner of many important power boat contests. The Savallo is a longer boat than the Dixie I and with some room for passengers. It has a bow that looks as if it might cut through the water with a minimum of resistance or_friction. “Another speed launch, and a new bne, is the Premier. She is 33 feet over all and 4 feet 4 Inches beam. Its walls are mahogany outside and cedar within and the power plant consists of a six-cylinder, - sixty-horsepower Premier automobile motor. The en- gine is so placed that when the boat is at rest it tips slightly forward, but when the boat Is under way with the bow lifted the motor becomes level. The Premler has been tried in the water, but her owners have not told what speed she js capable of making. It is known, however, that she ex- ceeded the contract requirements by several miles.” Eastern Connecticut men who ap- preciate fast boats are interested in these remarkable speed-makers EDITORIAL NOTES. Happy thought for today: The man who does not know himself figures often that he is saintly instead of hyp- ocritical. There is a thought in Washington of discontinuing the nickel, but what will take its place has not yet been disclosed, The measure of Senator Beveridge's modesty is his five and a half line au- tobiography written in the Directory of Congress, Tt is fair to assume that people were spreading on the butter thin long be- fore their “Ebenezer” reached the boy- cotting stage. Carrots give a fine complexion, and green tomato pie makes one think that he is eating real meat ple whether he wants to think so or not. Utah may be a mean state, but the governor gives notice that it is too £00d for the Johnson-Jeffries prize- fight to be pulled off in. When a man is going to do anything great he does not feed on meat. That is not the fodder that will enable Jef- fries to knock out Johnson. Theodore Roosevelt, gun in hand, standing clothed in khaki, beside a dead rhinoceros, looks more like Davy Crockett than an ex-president. Senator Gordon of Mississippi is not the greatest man in the upper house; but his autoblography in the Con- gressional dictionary 1s longest, No one pretends to claim that Gif- ford Pinchot is mot a worthy succes- sor of Dr. Eliot as president of the National Conservation association. A balky horse does not like to be | humored. 1t he cannot get up some opposition he cannot see much sense in balking. Some men are the same. The total value of lands given to corporations to promote railroad de- velopment in this country is $369,395,- 570. Uncle Sam has been gencrous. A reward of $250 for the identifica tion and capture of Treasurer Hale, who looted the Southbridge, Mass., Savings bank does not seem to be ex. cessive. The treasurer of a Pittsburg church who took $22,800 of the funds say: that he “gave the money to the poo He was too charitable at the expense of others. The American girl who has a “dook” she has bought and pald for is not to blame for tiking the same kind of interest in him that she does in her poodie dog.

JOLLYING THE ENGLISH PEERS. Phases of ths Campaign Still in Pro- gress. The peers continue, however, to en- joy a certain prominence in the strug- gle. They have done as much as any- one to bring humor, and good humor, into it. The radicals have made much fun of them and they have made some fun for themselves. Never before have the peers had so much free advertis: ing. Al their abilities are being de- scribed, to say nothing of their foi- Dbles. One comes across many more of such articles as “Peers Who, Play Golf.” “Peers Who Write Novels” than are ordinarily printed, and if any mystery hedged them about, not much of it will remain. Their family histories have been ransacked for plebian traces or anoestral crimes. The acreage of their estates and the taxes they pay on them, their servants, their subscrip- tions to public objects—all such detalls are being inventoried. The occasion provides some excuse for curiosity about “high life,” but the discoveries, many of them long familar, are not taken much more seriously than are such comic electorad pamphlets as he Dooks' Doomsday Book.” which gives such items as this: “Tootsie Fly- foes: Our wedding must remain a se- cret still. Pater’s cut my income down to 15,000 pounds yearly since the budget.—Lordy.” “Wanted—Very bad- 1y, a peer with a little feeling for the sufferings of others” “Why did the Dook of Dashlot object to putting his cottage property into proper sanitary condition? Because it would have meant a drain on his pocket” “Why does the brewing interest seem to have a natural affinity with the heraldry of the Lords? Because it represents the bar sinister,” and poems of this sort: Any Dook to Any Other Dook. Those thankless unemployed complain And ask for more to eat and drink; They ought to know that grief and pain Are natural here, and yet they think They ought to be Fed up, you see, Like me and you and you and me. They go and tramp about the street, And look forlorn and worn and ill On purpose, so that if they meet The likes of us the sight may chill With_shocks undue The blood that's blue Of you and me and me and you. The “wild” peers, “unaccustomed to | public speaking.” who, as one of them, | Lord Willoughby de Broke, sald the | other day, “faced the music” of elec- | toral meetings to defend their order, | have not pernaps revealed any start- | ling talent, though some of them have | risen far above the level of the peer who, according to thesradical papers, professed himself incapable of making & speech but offered to sing a song in- | stead.

Fears of Many Kinds, Including the Fear of Fear. Can anyone, outside of fiction or mythology, boast that his freedom from fear is absoluie? Many are sufficlently brave to dash into a burning building or leap for a drowning man. Courage happily abounds, but often in the brav- est there is some strange and often un- reasonable form of fear. A Frenchman mentions many sorts of specialized terrors, some of which are these: Atchmophobla, or sharp points, as of needles. Agaraphobia, or fear of open spaces, Haematophobia, or dread of blood. Monophobia, or fear of solitude. P Necrophobia, or horror of dead bod- es. Thanatophobia, or dread of death. Bacillophobla, or fear of microbes. Pathophobia, or fear of disease. Kelptophobia, or fear of becoming a _kleptomaniac. Pyrophobia, or fear of matches. Strasophobia, or fear of evil results from standing upright. Aerophobia, or fear of high places. Demonophobia or dread of the devil Phobophobia, or fear of having fear. Some, says Colller's Weekly, do not enjoy passiag through a herd of cows. One cannot enter a room of strangers nabashed.

It is here, The snow drifts are as big and deep as they used to be when we were kids. But the old- time fun 1s missing. Wallowing through drifts up to the waist line is not now amusing. Getting the feet wet means doctor’s bills. Not the quarter per visit we used to pay, but two nicely engraved dollar bills.” No more boneset tea of the home brew. It js now quinine and accessories that cost good money, This matter of ex- pense, in fact, is the thing that makes the real old-fashioned winter impos- sible. In the days when life was rural and unhurried snow had its advantages. Cattle could break roads, however deeply drifted. Then the snow was needed for getting out the wood, and Wo0d was the only fuel. The home was provisioned for the winter and it made no difference if the grocery store and meat market were not visited daily or weekly. If the roads were blocked the people could wait. They were in no hurry. No discomfort. Now all that is changed. Everybody must hurry. They must keep in touch with the dis- tributors of food products. i ey are obliged to reach promptly their places of employment. \Snow has befome a nuisance, & hindrance to the daily rush.
