the piece of roas-t beef, say, that is placed before them as the pitce de resistance of what is denominated "dinner" they guffaw in spite of their indignation. Everyone of thorn who reads jokes is instantly reminded of the wartime humorous bit in which the restaurant waiter asked the customer, "How did you find your steak?" and the latter replied, "I moved a piece of potato and there it was underneath." You would suppose that at these shore hotels the regular thing after meals would be indignation meetings on the porcl-es with resolutions of protest adopted and committees appointed to wait on the proprietors and demand that full meals be served else the guests would leave. But there is nothing of the sort. Somehow the people manage to satisfy themselves, or else they are content with the reflection that soon they will go home and get a square meal. What grumbling they do is in whispers and, strangest of all, the records show that these people return to the same hotels year after year. Is not that like us Americans? What are any of us doing really to change the food price situation? Nothing at all, as a matter of fact. Possibly that is the reason that prices stay in the clouds. Evidently we are not actually deprived of food. Would we bo so complaisant if we were?

DISCOURAGING NEWS. Following close upon the heels of the Wilson letter reusing the demands of. the railway shop craftsmen, which foreshadows the refusal of the railway brotherhood demands soon to be made, Judge E. II. Gary yesterday refused the demands of the iron and steel workers of the country. If all reports are true, these refusals will be met by general strikes all over the country. It is not hard to prophesy what will follow, and it would take the sunniest optimist who ever lived to see a ray of sunshine in the situation. The crucial period in American history was not the great war; it is the reconstruction period. The test has come. If ever the American workingman needed wise and conservative leaders it is now. If a general strike situation is precipitated the steel Industry will no doubt close its mills. If the railroad men go out trains will stop running and traffic will be paralyzed. If the steel plants close they will probably be closed for months. And winter is coming on.

PIE AND BOLSHEVISM. It's a pretty good old world after all. Recently -we dallied editorially with the delights of the Antlgc red raspberry pie and recommended it as a panacea for bolshevism. We defied a man with his teeth between a

section to think of anything else for some time but red f

raspberry pie, and it seems we shot an arrow into the air and brought down pie. From the days when as a regular in the I'. S. A. he used to do sentry duty at old Fort Constitution in the White Hills up to the time when he brought up printer's devils in the way they should go, and many a cub of them he trained, old Hill Leslie knew of the editorial weakness for the things of the flesh, and when his eyes glimmed the pie screed he hied himself to the place where they grow and dispatched some delectable samples that made life worth living. Bill is the newspaper genius who always opens a newspaper at the editorial page, then turns to sports and then to general news. His theory is that if a newspaper has a bright, snappy editorial page it is worth reading; if it hasn't, it isn't, and what he doesn't know about newspapers and red raspberry pie isn't worth knowing. Perhaps we have said too much about the pie for the Antigo man has so many friends here that they will be sending the S. O. S. for pie the first thing he knows.

COMPLAISANT AMERICANS. Some observers have commented on the phenomenon but for the most part it goes unnoticed that notwithstanding the general howl about the high cost of living the American people continue to pay whatever is demanded and get what they want to eat. Frequently it is proposed that some necessary article of diet, the price of which is believed to afford a particularly flagrant example of profiteering, be boycotted, the suggestion being supported by the not illogical argument that if the people quit buying the dealers will have to reduce prices in order to move goods and avoid heavy loss. And there the business ends. We are grumblers, to be sure, but judged by our deeds, we are a complaisant people, taking things as they come and going along like sheep if we can stand it at all. We howl about our rights when it appears that they are threatened or withheld, but the philosopher is conscious of a doubt that we are convinced of injury suffered when he observes that we do nothing really practical about remedying the condition of which we complain. At a popular seacoast resort where people of moderate means flock in the summer some of the hotel keepers have become eo adept in making a little food

go a great way that their 'board" is a joke. A very serious joke, one says when first introduced to It. But it goes no farther than that. The present high cost of living has nothing to do with the system in question. In easier times it was the same. Portions of meats, vegetables and desserts are doled out bo sparingly that one wonders the waiters have the nerve to place them before the guests. As for the latter, when first they see

GERMANY'S FUTURE. Hinderburg has said one true, wise thing, anyway. He told the students of Goettingen university: "Germany's future lies in the young generation- They must work to build the nation up again." So they must, if Germany is to have any future worth speaking of. They must build up what the older generation, headed by Hindenburg and his fellow-militarists, tore down. They must be saner, kinder, fairer, more honorable than their fathers and grandfathers. They must work constructively, for the triumphs of peace, instead of destructively, for the triumphs of war. And the Allies are helping them to that end, by the very severity of the peace terms imposed. With an army and navy forbidden, with baby-killing Zeppelins and bombing planes under a ban, with the German general staff abolished, and with the criminals who wrecked Germany punished for their efforts to wreck other nations, that younger generation will have a chance to work out a fairer destiny and redeem their country.

Are Pleased at Goodrich Attitude on State Mediation Commission They Seek. ivtt 'spECUL TO 1HE TIMES! INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Au. 27. Governor Goodrich was arwed yesterday by a delegation representing the federated

fix crafts of the railroad shopinun's j union to establish a state mediation I commission to investigate strikes or! threatened strikes. Members of the I

delegation told the Governor that they believed that such an arrangement would greatly relieve the labor tension in Indiana and would result in bringintf about industrial peare. While members of the delegation asserted that they were against any form C'f law breaking by industrial worker and denounced the destruction of prop

erty by strikers, they declared they be- ' lieved that the calling out of stai mil:tia only added fuel to the fire. TV, was their belief that troops should not be dispatched to strike zones until an i Investigation had been made by a media- j tion commission. If the question in-I volved could hot be settled by the com

mission and the strikers persisted in the destruction of rroperty, then it would ba time enough to quell the disturbance with troops, they told the Governor. F. S. Galloway, 301 South Holmes

avenue, chairman of the federated meetings during the recent shopmen's strike In Indianapolis, headed the delegation. Speaking for the other members, Mr. Galloway said the railroad men deplored lawlessness and that they came to the Governor in the spirit of co-operation in the hope of suggesting a plan that would stabilize the labor unrest in the

state and establish industrial peace.

The delegation was appointed at a

meeting of the union Saturday. Mr. Galloway said, when reports were received from Hammond that the strlXers there were quiet. It was the sense of the delegation that there was no need for sendrng state troops to Hammond at great expense to the state when local officials should have been able to handle

the situation.

The Governor told the men that there

was a statute in Indiana enacted in 1S9: providing for the establishment of i mediation commission composed of one representative of labor and one representing employers. The governor sai l

I he would inquire at the oft'ice of Ei. I Stansburv. attornel irneral whether th

law was still in force. Such a commission, he said, had been appointed under a former administration, but had not proved successful. Mr. Stanshury. upon investigating . nets of 1SH0. found It bad been repealed by the enactment of the industrial b"'law in lTMS. The Governor s,f he would hold another conference with irailroad representatives in event tfound a way to appoint a niediati"'" body. He nfsured the deleprati,--n that he was ready at all times to do anything for the benefit of all concerned. The governor was told, by the members of the delegation that should bo see lit to appoint any member of the federated six crafts on such a mediation commission that member would serve without compensation. After the conference members of the delegation declared they were pleased with the attitude of the Governor relative to plans to solve the present industrial unrest.

SENATE COMMITTEE AMENDS TREATY Republicans Eliminate XI. S. Representation on all Commissions.

;' INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERV1CII WASHINGTON, Aug. 26w By a straight party vote of nine to seven the Republicans in control of the senate foreign relations committee agreed today to amend textually the treaty of Versailles on a sweeping scale so as to eliminate reirsntation by the United States on almost all of the commission1 created by the treaty. They decided to pass over the league of nations and to leave the repnrti"i commission untouched for the time b ing, but u;reod to strike nut the irnrus "and associated powers," as including tho United States from some fifty odd plac-s in the document where the duties and powers of the various commissions were specilled or described.
