BRIBERY IN RAILWAY ELECTIONS.

Mr.. Isaac L. Rice, of the New York
bar, has made an analysis of the de-
Of railway management,
showing that the "inherent evil lies in
the absence of q sense OF trust among
the stockholders, who make and un-
make directors and officers" The ef-
feet of this absence of trust is the pres
ent system of borrowing and buying
is in substance bribery. Mr.. Rice
shows that "it is Q scandal that votes
OH all motions and resolutions which
may come up at any corporate meeting
should be sold In advance, while the
seller has not even hint of what these
motions and resolutions are going to
be. He cannot know whether (refer-
ring to the past) his vote will ratIfy
wrongful and even criminal acts COM
mitted by the directors or officers, or
whether (referring to the tuture) 1t
will force the corporation into bank
ruptcy. If, therefore, either from q
moral or business point of view, no de-
tense can be found tor the practice,
some weapon more potent than argu-
ment will be necessary; buying and
selling votes in corporate elections and
meetings must be declared by law to
be what in nature it is-a crime. And
when we reflect that the net work of
one hundred and fifty thousand miles
of railway of the country, employing
In its development and operation q
million Of laborers and involving ten
thousand millien dollars of securities,
is rapidly coalescing into few huge
systems controlled by a few central
corporations, the question OF q pure
ballot for the election of the managers
of these corporations rises to national
importance" Tho remedy that Mr..
Rice proposes is the enactment Of a
rigid law by the New York Legislature
in which State the financial control
of these corporations centers, to secure
honest elections by stockholders.

A SOCIAL REFORM FROM THE
KITCHEN.

Edward Atkinson in April Forum.I
1t is a well-ascertained fact that, with
respect to about ninety per cent. of the
community, the price paid for food
comes to one-half the income or more.
After this food is bought, how much
of 1t is wasted in bad cooking? How
much human force is wasted in conse-
quehce of bad cooking? How much
does dyspepsia or indigestion, caused
by bad cooking, impair the working
capacity OF the people of the United
States and diminish their product?
Is not that very insufficient measure
OF the difference between q poor,.
wasteful cook and good, economical
one? If five cents q day can be saved
on food and fuel, while at the same
time that which is bought and cooked
may be converted into more nutritious
and appetizing food, the difference In
each community of 5000 people would
be SI09.600 year, or about nine per
cent. OF the total product of the typical
community, which we have assumed to
be 81, 200, 600 year in gross. When
the attention Of the labor reformer is
brought down from grand schemes for
altering the whole constitution of so.
ciety, by act of congress or OF the state
Legislature, to the simple question of
how each person, each family, or each
community may better itself under ex.
listing conditions, great progress will
have been made In solving all the
problems which are now pending.

CHEAP FOOD.

1t is false economy that induces
people to use cheap butter, cheap meat,
cheap -four, and other cheap articles of
food. In nine cases ont OF ten, cheap
articles of food are either damaged or
adulterated, and are dear at any price.
They are seldom what they purport to
be. and If not really dangerous to use,
generally prove unsatisfactory to the
purchaser or consumer. OF all cheap
things, cheap articles of food should be
most carefully avoided. Bread that ia
heavy or sour has passed the bounds of
redemption Butter that has become
rancid cannot be regenersted by the
addition OF colorlng. Meats that are
tainted can by no chemical process be
restored to their original condition, and
tho secret of infusing freshness into
stale vegetables and decayed fruits re.
mains undiscovered. To use low pric.
ed stnff for food:is not only extravagant
and foolish. but criminal. 1t is a fia.
grant violation OF the laws of physio-
logy and hygiene, and a reckless de-
f1ance OF disease and death. Beware
of low priced articles Of food.

A TEST CASE.
what Three Years of Prohibition
has Dol for Rhode leland.
From the Chicago Tribune !

tu6 SulCdkO
In 1886 Rhode Island adopted con-
stitutioDal prohibition by vote of l6,-
1l3 to $3.50 A little over half the
vote of the state was cast. The enforce
ment of the measure was not left to the
local authorities. but was entrusted to
a state police under the control of the
governor.
1t was not long In becoming appar-.
ent, in spite of the rigor and vigor OF
the authorities, that prohibition did
not prohibit. Drunkenness Increased
instead of decreasing. No one who
wanted liquor had any trouble in get
ting il. The stocks of dealers were
discovered and conflscated, but their
place was at once supplied. The most
distressing feature of the case, however,
was the Increase in arrests of drunk
ards. The following table gives the
figures for tour years, of which 1855
was license, 1885 half license and half
prohibition, and the last two prohibi-
ton.
1885. .2.457 1897. 1925
1886 1886 1888. 1905
Then prohibition resulted in nearly
doubling the number of cases OF drunk
enness In three years. There was as
much liquor drank as before, but 1t
was often of worse quality, and there
was less beer consumed and more
whisky.
The Rhode Islanders have now be-
como pretty well convinced that 1t is
not in the power of $4,000 voters to
keep rs 900 from having liquor If that
way inclined. The minority can bad
ger aud worry the majority, but cannot
get the better of it. 1t is easier to get
into trap than it is to get ont OF it.
While the large majority of the voters
are anxious to get rid of prohibition.
which is doing 90 much to demoralize
the people, they cannot vote on the
question till two legislatures have re-
commended it's submission. The pre-
sent one will do so, snd If the next one
follows suit, as 1t Irobably will, then
there will be chance to get rid Of this
old man of the sea that has done 90
much mischief in the little state.
