TURN ON THE LIGHT.

The state officials cannot get busy too quicklv in tfa drive on the persons responsible for the hisb. cost o; ljviag. Dr. Barnard will have every one vith him on this crusade, except the profiteers. One of the first cases of alleged profiteering repo-t-d to Dr. Barnard was from Newcastle. It was alleged In this case that a farmer asked a retail merchant 'the Price Of apples. The merchanr rcnlii ,k. ,

-- .nai a,'pis were a bushel and that -they are scarce and hard to! EPt." Tho fai-mor- . A r, ir 3 f

.-.i. ljcu luiiumeu ir.e ?rocer that he was selling, not buying. The merchant then is said tb have offered the farmer 75 cents a bushel for his fruit The facts were recorded by officials of the food administration and the information will be turned over to the Department of Justice. Turn on the light! Let u? see who is getting the money. We all know who is raying it.

ANOTHER RICHMOND? Perhaps the talk of Senator Hitchcock as a promising candidate for the Democratic nomination in 19-0 had tome influence in causing; the president to set him aside as leader of the administration fight for the league of nations.

HELPING BILL. It i reported that Wihlam Hohenzollei n, formerly known to the German soldier as "poor old Kaiser Bill." will be defended by German counsel assisted by British lawyers, if he wishes them. No international lawyer will envy the liritish lawyers their job; but why didn't. Bill apply to the American peace commission?' After the showing the commission made in trying to protect hirj he should have been confident of their abilities as special pleaders. RUMANIA'S DEFIANCE. .;;o.!T as has been Rumania': provocation, she is not pUyin; the part oi wisdom in ignoring the orders of the Pari? peace conference with reference to the treatment to be ; i corded Hungary. She ennot hope to play a lorie hand irng. an i whatever loot, she may take from the nnriuished .-neniy will not compensate for th loss of 'he respect and good will of her allies. In violation of tL" tfrms of the armistice King Ferdinand's soldiers are reported to be plundering Budapest and to be carrying off vast stores of food, supplied in part bv America, from the already impoverished country. Although it is retaliation for similar excesses committed by the Huns during their invasion of Rumania, the -orse is ill-advised, not only because it is in conflict with tbe peace terms, but also because it will prove embarrassing to the new Hungarian government which the allies desire to see firmly established in place of Bela Kun's govern ment. The peace terms represent the combined wisdom of the worlds greatest statesmen and each of the nations of the alliance has had to surrender some of its individual preferences to promote harmony and in the interest of the common welfare. Rumania, not content with the agreement, is dictating her own terms. Threats of economic pressure made by the allies to induce King Ferdinand's government to conform to their wishes are said not to carry much weight because Rumania just now has good crops and is in no particular need of help from the outside. But no cation situated as she is can hopf to maintain long a position of isolation. Rumania eventually will listen to reason.

BARNARD'S WISE COUNSEL. Dr. Harry E. Barnard, state food administrator durir? the war and post-war period, intends to put it on a wir-time basis. He has no faith in investigation and does not see how they can increase the supply of food. Dr. Barnard in his latest statement says: It would be unwise to draw now upon the s'o: of food that have been and are being accumulated for use during the winter months. The growing season is too far advanced to make it possible for us t0 increase the harvest. Our efforts must therefore be centered upon checking the tendency to speculation in foodstuffs both by the speculator in the market and the food hoarder in the home. "The housewife who buys more goods than the family needs is a speculator and her acts'multiplied through the millions of homes in our country will exhaust the food supply and drive prices beyond reason. "We cannot expect legislation which will upset or even disturb the old laws of supply and demand. There is now and will be for several months a world shortage of food and so long as that shortage continues food prices will be high. The only solution of the situation is. then Increased production. When there is in the world, and it must be understood that we are thinking now in term.i.f all the people of the world and not of the citizens o: tne United States or Indiana, more wheat than cdu be eaten in a single year, more meat than can be carried from one season to the next, larger stcck of fruits and vegetables than can be consumed, when our sticks of

INCREASE IN SHIPPING. The stimulation that ihe war gave to the growth of American shipping is show n in a new edition of Lloyd' i register, w hich report-that the sea going tonnage of the United States has increased 3S2 pel cent in rive years. No longer dependent on foreign bottoms, we are now in position to retain at home the large ocean-carrying charges which formerly were sent to Europe. There are sentimental reasons, also, which make it gratifying that we have a big commercial fleet. There is satisfaction in the thought that the American traveler now can sail the seven seas on vessels flying the Stars and Stripes, thus maintaining a foothold on what is technically territory of the United States in all parts of the earth. The appearance of the Star Spangled Banner in every quarter of the globe open to sea-going ships also will have the effect of bringing closer to the peoples of the world the power of the United States and realization of its increasing participation in international commerce as well as political affairs.

"SIGN HERE" PREACHERS. When William Howard Taft and other members oj the League to Enforce Peace iby commandeering the youth of the United States to do police work for the world) attempted to induce Chancellor J. G. Murray, of the Hartford, Conn., diocese, to sign a form letter asking the Connecticut senators to vote for the league of nations "without amendments or reservations" they got. a reply which must have made them ashamed of their internationalism. It would be a pretty fair appraisal of a minister of the gospel who would put his signature to a form letter of any sort to regard hirn as a man who might crib his sermons from the homilies of those greater voices which have joined the choir invisible. Clergymen are expected to do their own thinking on the league of nation? question.
