ELIBERATELY, in the face of all the consequences their act invites, the Republican members of the Senate Foreign Rela- tions Committee, with one exception, voted to adopt an amend- ment which would change the Shantung provision of the Peace Treaty, thereby insulting Japan, endangering prompt ratification of the treaty and keeping the United States hanging ignominiously and indefinitely on the outskirts of the Great Peace. That a few Republicans have lost their political senses in too _ fervid concentration on the task of finding party capital for next year’s Presidential election is conceivable. But is it concsivable that the best brains of the Republican Party _ will permit that party, as a whole, to be exposed to the appalling risks involved? Is a larger Republicanism ready to bear the blame when an out- raged country, blocked in its progress toward peace and: its rightful thare in the prosperity of peace, turns an’ angry eye on those who have put obstacles in ite path? Does the Republican Party dare to carry on its shoulders the responsibility for having even attempted to hold back the Nation from taking its proper place in the front rank of that progressive peace movement to which, however imperfect, the terrible experi- ences of the past five years have persuaded the world? If so, the Republican Party must have made up its mind to commit suicide by impaling’ itself upon national anger and resent- ment it has itself evoked and sharpened. Will Republicans like Taft, Root, Hughes and Wickersham stand by and permit the self-slaughter? _ HH Seventeen Indicted in Boston for Profiteering in Food.— Headline, ‘The way to prove it can be done Is to do it.

Martin H. Glynn and State Commissioner of Education John H. Finley, appointed by Gov. Smith to investigate cost-of-living conditions in this State, record among their conclusions: “A milk system that costs the people of the City of New York comparatively $6,000,000 » year more than it costs the people of Philadelphia, $3,000,000 more than it costs the people of Chicago and $1,000,000 more than it costs the people of Boston needs either explanation or reformation.” Recommendations of these special investigators include: That there be created a State Milk Commission to regulate the milk distribution business in cities of the first and second all municipatities of the State be authorized to and operate milk distributing systems within their when such acquisition and operation are approved by this commission. January, during one of the periodic conflicts between the producers und distributers of milk, when the people of this city were, with » further advance of milk prices, The Eve- World made the following suggestion: the New York Legislature were to work out a com- law making basic foods, including milk, subject to in the public utilities class; Suppose, at the same time, the City of New York were to go {into the dairy business—not for philanthropy, but on a strictly vastness becis to sell milk to consumers at the lowest prices con- Getent with sanitary production, efficient distribution and reason- able profit; (With such a competitor to set the pace, does anybody believe thet milk produpers and distributers could afford to bicker and wrangle as they have been doing, regardless of whether or not they cut off the city’s milk supply—endangering the lives of chil- dren and invalids—or whether they force milk prices to levels where only the rich can buy milk? The shortest cut through the dairyman-distributer tangle might well be to declare milk a public utility and start the city on a practical experiment to determine what it really costs to produce and distribute milk at.a fair profit. On the distributing side, this is precisely the plan at which the Governor’s Commission has arrived. Why not make the experiment complete and convincing by extending it to cover the producing end? No law can force dairymen to produce or distributers to distribute milk under legislative dictation. What is needed is a demonstration—a demonstration how far the production and distribution of milk even at lower retail prices can be made profitable through more economical methods, Upon such a demonstration hang health and lives. Who can better afford to undertake it than the great City of New York? 5 —$_——— * With a California raisin crop 100,000,000 pounds bigger than last year’s, the raisin growers have boosted the price 33 per cent, Is it California's idea to make the juiceless grape * recoup it for its losses on the other kind? _— Newest Notes of Science » electvle 1 ing cowts bout | fabrics.

The unwary buyer usually found afterward that the pig was a cat, and from his cha- grin on making this discovery we get another familiar expression, “letting | the eat out of the bag.” That “money makes the mare to go” is @ maxim repeated on many occa- sions, especially in these days of high prices, It is accredited to an anonymous author, appearing in a humorous verse of the seventeenth century, which runs as follows: “*Will you lend me your mare to go a mile?’ ‘No, she 1s lame leaping over a ‘But if you will her to me spare, *You shall have money for your share,’ ‘Oh, ho, say you so? "Money will make the mare to go.” “Walls have ears,” the cautious say. This expression originated with a courtier of the days when Marle Medici sat upon the throne of France. The Queen wag a suspicious woman, and the troublo¥s times in which she lived probably made her more ap- prehensive than she otherwise would have been, Her fear of plots and plotters led to installation in the Louvre of @ system somewhat like our modern dictograph. This con- sisted of numerous tubes running from one room to another, which were called “auriclajres.” ‘These were supplemented by hollow pas- sage-ways in which the Queen or her agents might: listen to a conversa- tion beyond the wall, A writer of her time records that a follower of the court to whom he was talking one day in the Louvre suddenly halted and with finger to lips re- minded him that “walls have ears.” There are words in the language which might almost be termed apectres because t oke ft tile.” TAKING THE KICK OUT OF 'EM. ‘The first step was taken, A foothold was gained, There were days of discouragement and danger ahead before, Kentucky should at last bo thorougiily civilized and safe.
