The people of Washington are to be con-
graduated upon the action of the bakers
last evening in reducing the price of bread
to a point where the consumers can enjoy
some of the benefits that accrue from the
low price Of flour. At time like this one
might as well be generous, and say that the
bakers deserve credit for their action, al
though there Is no reason to suppose they
would have taken it if it had not been for
the agitation in The Star and other city
papers. All along they have been protest.
ing that If the price of bread were lowered
there would be nothing in 1t for them.
However. they have done it, and no one
looks for any immediate business failure
among the boss-bakers of Washington. In
other cities, where wages are as high as
they are in Washington, and other expenses
of manufacture equally heavy, bread is
retailing from one to two cents cheaper
than ii is here even under the new dispen-
sation, and yet it has not been found neces-
sary 10 start subscriptions for the relief of
INDECENT bakers. If half loaf is better
than no bread 1t is equally true that four
cent loaf is better than one at five, the
quality and quantity being equal, and the
bakers say they will be. 1t is gratifying to
realize that the greatest benefit from the
reduction will come to people of limited
means. who are compelled to buy bread as
they need it. instead of being able to get
their flour by the barrel, and thus saving
the difference in the cost of the raw mate
rial as compared to what it was in other
years. In The Star today axe printed a
number of letters from different cities,
showing what the situation as to bread is
elsewhere. The agitation for a reasonable
~, for IL ,rlla - h., IL,
spread from Washington to other cities.
A fair Illustration of what good can be ac-
complished by newspapers enlisted in a
good cause is afforded by the cheapening
of bread In Washington. What the news
paper has done here will be done elsewhere,
and the movement commenced in Wash
ington will bear fruit all over the country.

 Everybody knows that the rulers are not, strictly speaking, Chinese, but few historic points should be noted. Exclud- ing mythology, the we'll authenticated history of China begins with the reign of Yu the Great in 2207 B. C., or 4, 101 years ago. There were about l, 100 years of great progress and then 873 years of horribly destructive wars, after which peace and united empire were restored and continued till A. D. 26O.
