holdings of thse products and a big increase in sup

plies over last year, yet prices are sharply higher than a year ago. Apparently the operation of the law of supnlv and demand is being seriously interfered with in this case. With this increase In supplies it would be natural to suppose that there would be lower prices. Ordinarily, the larger the supply, the lower the price of a product. But not so when the. cold storage profiteers are in charge. Instead of lower prices, creamery butter on the Chicago market is quoted at about 10 cents a pound

(higher than a year ago and eggs four to five cents higher.

In its fight on the high cost of living the government should train its guns upon the cold storage system, and readjust it so that facilities designed as a blessing to the people are not used as a means of exploiting them.

plation of atrocities committed by the Hun armies, it is fair to ascribe a Berlin discussion of the Edith Cavell murder to a desire of the persons immediately responsible for it to escape the just penalty for their crime.

Germany may put forward all the technical argu-J

ments that it is possible for her to devise and she will not alter the conviction of the world that Miss Cavell's execution was deliberate and cold-blooded murder. Evidence there is in plenty that, irrespective of what German military law may have provided in cases like that of the British nurse in Belgium, the Hun authorities were determined that they would have her for a victim. They violated their pledged word to the United States legation and to others who sought for Miss Cavell nothing but justice. Had they done otherwise her precious life might have been spared. Her trial was a travesty and the manner of her execution almost incredibly brutal. Her murderers richly deserve the severest punishment. The sooner they

Hammond. Ind., 13 W. State St. Editor Times: V. T. Barnum has been dead a great niany years, but things have not changed materially, for I see that the American people still like to be fooled. There Is an old saying that you can fool all the people some of tha time, some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time. Still the people let the street car company hang one over on them. East Chicago nor Whiting did not do it and as a result they pay a five cent fare. Well, the street railway system, excuse me if I said system, there is no system about it, except in separating the public from a few extra pennies, is now running again. It has been run

ning for a number of years and has been j getting worse all the time. j

she wasn't in the rear platform.

3. Each and every passenger had to have a seat before a fare could be collected. 4. Each car had painted on t?ie Inside of the front door in large letters the number of passengers that the car carried. 5. If the conductor permitted more passengers to get on that he was permitted to'carry (giving each one a seat) he was disciplined and the car company waa fined by the city $500 lor each offense. 5. Cars were run all day at ten minute headway and during the rush hours oftcner. Having barns at both ends of the line the cars could be started in the

Voice of the People ABOUT SOUTH BHOKX IKCK.E A ST S. East Chicago. Ind. Editor Times: A few days ago I saw in your paper where the, South Shore Lines were asking for an increase in rates of fare. We are now paying very nearly a.s much as the steam roads and in a few cases more, for other roads are giving better rates through commutation tickets. Now this company has changed time again, abolishing trains that are well patronized out of East Chicago and Hammond, most ail of these trains have been on ever since the service was established between this road and the Illinois Central. I never saw any road change time so often and each time card Is worse th?n the preceding one. Looks like the many they have put out each year, who ever W8J4 doing it would bocome very proficient in this line, but every one is worse than the preceding one and this one is the limit for the worklngman. Most of us who lives in East Chicago and work in Gary will cither havn to move or spend two to three hours extra every

fact, the workingman has always re

ceived but very little consideration from j

the management of the South Shore In any way. Sometimes It looks like the road vas timing runs for the amusement of someone. A few days ago I asked ' a crew with whom I ride, why this change, and he said it was to save operating expenses as the men had been granted an increase and had almost liad to tie tho road up to obtain it and the general manager had said ha would have to take off trains and cut down expenses fo meet the increase, as the earnings would not do it, and he has taken off some of the best patronized trains, too. Teil me, how- can you increase your earnings when you are decreasing the sourco which brings in the earnings? I should think the stockholders of this company would soon tire of this kind of work, for It soems to me there Is no reAson why this road should not pay if It were properly managed. I am sure it is not the fault of the road if it is not paying. The frequent change of time and not the frequent service they advertize.- The public stood for two or three raises in
