MEAT AND VEGETABLE.
High Prices for Meats Not the Worst
Thing in the World.
Brooklyn Eagle

Brooklyn Eagle.
Let 1t not be assumed that the shortness
of the meat supply and the high price of
steak is an unmitigated evil. On the con-
trary it is a probable blessing. If meat
could be raised TO a price that would make
1t prohibitory it might still be OF good re-
suit, because it would teach those who de-
pend almost entirely upon it to widen their
dietary and learn to enjoy many good
things of which they are now ignorant. To
many, especially in the cities. there are but
three foods-meat, potatoes and bread. The
weary monotony OF this programme, the
unsatisfed but indefinite longings for a
widening of it affect appetite and surely
affect spirits and temper. The laborer goes
to his work filed with meat, potatoes and
bread. AT noon he finds cold meat and
bread in his dinner pail and at night he is
confronted by meat and potatoes, some
times separate, sometimes combined into a
greasy stew, sometimes chopped into hash.
This kind of thing fills him. but in a finer
sense it can hardly be said 10 feed him.
Physicians have discovered that a limited
and u~nchanging diet lowers vitality and
health.
At such a time as this. when prices have
been placed so high by the wholesale deal
ers that retailers are failing by dozens be-
cause ne DldSStS GdI lO lOilSCI dnbIu IiGdl,
there is a chance TO find what things the
world contains which are at least as di-
gestible as beef. There is a wide range of
sea food; farinaceous products can be
served in a hundred forms, as we'll as
bread, and as to vegetables, how seldom
does the housekeeper give a trial to them.
A hearty and sustaining meal can be made
from a vegetable soup. followed by pota-
toes, onions. turnips, parsnips, egg plant.
with two or three kinds of bread. then b.

largely a habit, and to some persons il is a
habit acquired with difficulty. If to vege-
ia bles, fruit and constructions made OF
-four and sugar are added eggs. butter,
cheese and milk a range of diet becomes
possible that makes one Independent of ami
NAL food. 1t can do no harm 10 those VINO
consider themselves forced To ecOnomize
in the matter of meat to experiment with
these other foods. They will undoubtedly
find themselves the gamers in health as
we'll as in pocket.

AT 10 O'Clock twenty-five machinists in

PETITION FOR INJUNCTION
Filed by the Mayor in the L~ogansport
Traction Case.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LOGANSPORT, Ind. May s.-Another
surprise was sprung this afternoon in the
Logansport interurban controversy when,
liz the case of the Logansport, Rochester
& Northern Traction Company VS.. The
Wabash River Traction Company ct al. to
which the city of Logansport had been
made party defendant, Mayor Mckee, on
behalf of the city of L~ogansport, fled an
amended cross complaint asking that all
the companies interested in the contro-
versy be e~njoined from laying tracks on
High, from Sixth to Twenty-fourth street.
City Attorney Kistler was not consulted
by the mayor in the matter. but Attorney
George w Funk was engaged TO file the
complaint. The action is considered ex-
tremely arbitrary on the part of Mayor
Mckee. and ii is commended that he had no
authority without the consent OF the Com
mon Council TO proceed. Councilmen
Boyer, Palmer, Grove and Austin followed
his action by fling af1davits in which they
charge that the mayor acted without au-
thority. A motion to dissolve the original
injunction was argued to-day. but the case
was not finished and went over until Fri
day.
The McCulloch interests had nearly three
hundred men rady all day TO lay tracks on
High street in case Judge Chase's decision
had been favorable.

THE CRIMES OF SMITH
Make Him More Valuable to the Pub
lie Veal than Are His Enemies.

Nebraska State Journal.
The blatant denunciations of Gen. Jacob
II. Smith in Congress are, OF course, MADE
at a hazard, none of these rocking-chair
warriors knowing anything definite about
the charges on which he is being tried by
a court-martial. General Smith is a man
of experience and high standing in the
army, was in the civil war from beginning
TO finish and has made a fine record In the
army since. The belief that he has sud
denly turned a felon or a fool is most
preposterous. Congressman Sibley, who
led the attack in the House on the general,
who has not been heard, and who has no
means of resenting this sort of black
guardism if he be unjustly abused, boasted
that he didn't want TO hear his defense or
explanation, that the newspaper reports
were sufficient for him, and then went at
him with hammer and tOngs as the worst
man who had lived since Calvary and the
cross, worse than Timour and the Saracens
and all that sort of thing, when the evil
dence is simply that under Smiths orders
of a general nature Major Waller very
properly and justly executed some villains
who had taken his pay, sworn allegiance TO
the flag and then misled him and his de-
tachment into a pathles jungle, stolen their
provisions and fed, leaving them in such a
pitiable condition that a dozen of our boys
died of starvation before the detachment
could get in touch with camp.
1t is true that the general is accused
of ordering the expedition to Stay and
burn all the males over ten and all that
sort of thing. but if the order was TO
stay the Presidente of Tabayas and his
entire crowd that participated and car
ried bolos on the occasion and burn their
property it was within the rules of war
and a necessary act of military justice.
A man who would look upon the mu-
tilated remains of those forty or nifty
boys, treacherously murdered by men
who had taken the oath 10 the govern
ment and had been hired to work for
the United States. and were parading
as our friends. without resentment or
passion or hot words or promise 10
avenge the deed, is, of course. more int
for Congress or a woman's club than
for the army. But Smith is evidently
a good soldier. whatever he may have
said in the heat of his Indignation. And
so far il is merely what he said that the
ants and Sibley are foaming about. But
a good soldier, even If he be rash OF speech
on great proVocation. is, upon the whole, Of
more use to the country than the cheap
statesmen who are de~nouncing Smith with
out a hearing.

HAS A BAD EFFECT.

ment Hurts Indiana Coal Industry.

= HuEtS Ah0Ahhh SOaA lnuusAEys
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, May S.-The &C
ton of the Washington administration in
the enforcement of the interstate-com-
merce law has reduced the coal output in
Indiana one-half. In former years the
operators made their yearly sales contracts
between April 1, the date OF the new wage
contract. and July l, but this year they
have been unable to make contracts be-
cause the railroad companies will not en-
ter into agreements such as existed in for
mer years.
Ninety per cent. OF the Indiana coal Is
sold in the Chicago market. and one rail-
road company practically controls the
ern Illinois. This road extends through
the Danville, Ill. coal field. and so IL was
necessary for the Indiana operators to have
rebates on their freight charges to compete
with the Illinois product. The railroad
companies are not entering into agreements
for rebates, which would be in violation OF
the interstate law, and they give the OPP
orators no assurance for the future because
on all sides there is a waiting policy to
learn how persistent the President will be
In his policy TO enforce the law.
Already the Indiana operators have lost
large contracts. which have gone to the
Illinois operators, not necessarily those of
the Danville district, because the Illinois
railroads can give a cut rate for the longer
haul If il is all within the one State, and
some coal is going TO Chicago over twice
the distance from the Indiana field to Chi
cage at a lower rate than the Indiana op-
orators can get at present.
