Think About This

A society for the suppression of the obvious remark would soon fill a city block. Dr. George E. Vincent.

Food Under this caption, the Chicago Tribune traces the food scarcity to a faulty distributive system and blames our government for hectoring and heckling the railroads to such an aggravated extent that it has hampered their extension and their ability to cope with the situation. We have pointed out before that the High Cost of Living is a problem with thousands of ramifications and that its solution can come only after a scientific survey of every factor that enters into the production and distribution of foodstuffs. Until this survey has been made by experts the trouble will continue to harass the grower in a period of low prices and the consumer in a period of high prices.

The editorial of the Tribune is reproduced because it presents one phase of the problem. Hunger in our cities is imperative. It is an economic sickness which demands immediate attention. We have now before us the spectacle of our public men sprinting to their favorite drug stores, from which they will pres

ently return laden with sure cures and patent medicines. There is no cureall for our present difficulty. . Shortage of food can be reliered temporarily in our cities by the simple expedient of sending food' to them. That will have to be done. But unless we undertake a readjustment of our whole distributive system, hunger will be with us again every time our economic situation in the world s changed suddenly- The submarine blockade is probably the proximate cause of famines in cities because it has choked up our already congested arteries of traffic. The basic cause is' much deeper. . Rise in prices to a high point can be partly explained

hv natural economic causes. We have been snipping xooa

out of the country and shipping gold into it We have more' money with , which to buy less food. Prof Irving Fisher of Tale shows that foodstuffs have risen in almost precise proportion to the importation of gold. '. That rise we probably should have been able to sustain without a grave crisis if it had not been complicated by manipulation of food prices, private price raising, and the complete breakdown of the railroads in carrying. Neither of these conditions can be cured without changing our national policy. Tbe nation cannot expect to control food prices unless it permits the organization of responsible food trusts, and it cannot expect the railroads to bear a burden of industrial expansion unless it permits them to expand. We have been kicking the railroads and busting the trusts. The result inevitably has been chaos in our distributive system. So long as we stick to tbe idea of punishing organizations instead of regulating them intelligently, we shall have with us thousands of irresponsible speculators instead of a few responsible institutions, it is significant that the prices of meat a food which is controlled rather effectively have not been subject to violent fluctuations and have not risen in proportion with other foodstuffs. Our government has persistently refused to see the necessity of protecting the railroads and fostering their expansion. It has failed to see that unless there are responsible organisations the responsibility for economic ills cannot be fixed on any one. We cannot regulate prices if we would because we have not permitted machinery for regulation to grow up. We cannot make the railroads carry enough goods because we have not permitted

the railroads to expand.

The only measures we can take now to relieve immediate necessity are patchwork measures, and they do not help much. The railroads have been experimenting with

embargoes, but they have only succeeded in tying up

traffic more thoroughly. Our food situation is the inevitable result of our lack of foresight

DUBLIK MAN FOUND DEAD IN HIS CHAIR ON MONDAY NIGHT

"The Forgotten Wedding" oS?i&5-By OLIVE WADSLEY JS' SffSJSKS

With tbe paper crushed in his hand, he walked rapidly to his bouse and, letting himself in, went at once to the secret room. He locked the door with his duplicate key; then, seating himself on the bed, he opened out the paper. Tis fingers, clutching it, pierced the thin sheet. The paragraph was . headed; 'THEATRICAL ROMANCE" and below was stated that the paper ''learned on the best authority that Miss Rachel Ford, the famous actress was married at the Marylebone Registry Office on Saturday morning to Captain Robert Fane, D. S. O., only on of the late Lord Henry Fane and grandson of the sixth Duke of Sele." For a little while Gorde sat perfectly still, his eyes working in his livid

face, his hands tearing the paper into the smallest shreds. Suddenly be got up. It was as though a whirlwind arose. He seized the sandalwood and ivory tables and. hurling them agsinst the wall, broke them to pieces. He beat on the inlaid brazier until the marble chipped and flew Into a thousand fragments. He tore the silken rugs to threads. What his hands could not destroy he tore with his teeth. And all the while no word escaped his lips. With an almost superhuman effort, kneeling on the floor, tugging and straining, he dragged a square of marble up. Taking it in his bleeding hands, he bore it toward the shrine in tbe corner; then, lifting it on high, beat It down again and again on the idol until it lay a mass of crushed and twleted gold beneath his feet. Suddenly h shouted aloud, and then lhr-re poured from his dry, bitten lips a Cow of imprecations. His eyes, almost starting from their sockets, rolled horribly. Ills clutching, grasping hand9 were flung high In imploration. There was a knock at the door and th sound of a key. It opened slowly, and All came in noiselessly. lie spoke to his master, offering Mm sorasfbin. Gorde threw out his hands in denial. The man tpoke again very slowly. 4t lafct his master' seemed to yield. He took the tablets from the man's

hands and swallowed them. Almost instantly his frightful, diabolical expression changed. He became human once again. Slowly his eyelid3 drooped end h slept. Ho lay back on the torn silken cushions, his fair hair hanging in disorder

over his face. His mouth, half open in exhaustion, was bleeding. Alt touched a panel in the wall, and a cupboard was revealed containing, apparently, essences or medicines. He took down a bottle and. opening it, poured some of it into a broken gold dish. A faint smell of cloves filled the room. He dipped the edge of his robe into the dish and began gently to bathe his master's face. CHAPTER VI The Blackmailers of Society "Money is short, Tony," Mrs. Bramham said to her husband over their matutinal cup of tea. She eat up among her pillows, her pretty golden hair falling in curls beneath tbe coquettish little lace cap which stands today for that worthy and model article of apparel called by our grandmothers "a nightcap." She looked young, attractive, and innocant qualities which paid . the highest compliment possible to her powers of deception, since she was

thirty-eight: and though there might be items of shodiness which had escaped her intelligence, it may justly be said that they were too inconsiderate to be counted. Tony, wrapping his dressing-gown more closely round him, regarded her gloomily. "I might draw on Gorde for a bit," he suggested. "Better not, old boy, until the Fane affair has developed and we see what happens. Even we can prove nothing yet, you see." She opened her "Daily Mall." After perusing it for: a while she suddenly clapped her hands. "Tony, look look here!" She pointed. ' ' , Her husband obediently took the paper. " 'Mining Smash,' " he read aloud. Mrs. Bramham could stand thi3 denseness. no longer. She snatched the sheet back again.
