The Curran committee is investigating the police. Commissioner Waldo is supposed to be investigating the police. Mayer Gaynor would hardly admit that he does not wish the department improved. These three forces, then, should obviously act in the same direo- tion, to the same end. Insteed they pull and tug against each other. Nothing comes of it but « rattle of hard words. The people of New York are waiting to eee their police force pulled out of the mire into which it has fallen. Have the highest and most trusted public servants any duty other then te co-operate to that end? Then why this eilty, unseemly wrangting and thumbing of noses among the judges, while the culprit edges away? LY She AT EVERY DOOR. HE increased cost of living is no respecter of persons or in- T stitations in levying its tolls. Even the hospitals report that expenses for nursing, supplies and service have nearly doubled in the past eight years. Besides greatly increased ealaries te all hospital employees, “the nourishing food required by patients now costs a great deal more then it did even @ year or twe ago,” reports the general secretary of the Hospital Saturday and SurMlay Association. “Surgical instruments are more expensive, so are moet drugs and particularly the eerums which have come into use in recent years. Aleo, whereas the hospital used to have one attendant to each patient, the present practice in some hospitals is to provide three attendants for every two patients.” The bright side of the balance is, of course, the enormoualy in- creased efficiency of hospital werk. Aocording to the same report, “the average patient in general bespital now needs care for only six- teen days; a few years ago the period was considerably longer.” Just the same, don’t forget that the hespital must have its needs supplied and pay ite bills. No institution more obviously deserves the full benefit of all up-to-date producer-to-consumer devices to climinate unnecessary prefits and commissions. Whoever sells to « hospital should remember that he has a duty which is aleo a privilege. Those who gtve to mast remember that the high cest of living knooke at all doore—even that of beneficence. — po OPPORTUNITY SMILES ON THE POTATO; IE potato of this oeuntry hee the chance of its life. The, T United States Government has recently established a quaran- tine against potatoes from #ngland, Scotland, Ireland, Ger. many, Austria and Newfoundland because of “potato canker” in those countries. H. B. Fullerton, the Long Ieland agricultural sharp, fig- | ures from potato imports in past years that American growers will have to raise ten million bushels more of potatoes next year than last to meet the deficit. * | Eager to boost the Long Inland potato into the breach, Director | Fullerton is distributing broadcast copies of « five hundred and forty- | five page treaties on the family, physique, failings and favorite pastimes of The Potato. With euch it the national potato ought to rise to high estate. After all it is the best and kindliest of vegetables. An exeellent “mixer,” it nourishes the high and the low. It blesses the earth that gives it life, leaving it better for other crops. Its charity and good nature long ago passed into a proverb: The stupidest farm- ere have the biggest potatoes. The poor housewife knows it for a etight. The American potato has « rare opportunity. We expect it te do its patriatic best. —-+- ‘The seedless orange ts 2 fact; the boneless shad !s « hope; but Secretary of Agriculture Wilson's beaut!ful dream sbout the skunk passes the bounds of human aspiration.
