EFFECT OF THE HIGH PRICES
Suicides Increase Nearly 90 Per Cent
80 Per Cent More Paupers.

New York, Feb. S.-Effects of the
increased cost of living on the work
ing classes are shown in the largely
expanded number of applications TO
the city for aid as disclosed in figures
just made public.
The rising tide of inability to make
income keep pace with living expenses
is indicated in the fact that during the
last IL months more than 10000 per
sons sought relief from the charities
department an increase of more than
80 per cent in five years. Suicides in
creased nearly so per cent from 1901
to 1909.

The action of the house committee
on merchant marine and fisheries in
disposing of the Humphrey ship
subsidy bill at one session is not only
a travesty upon the term representa-
tive government, but is an insult to the
American people.
The bill was introduced Jan. A. The
committee was ready to take It up ear
ly in January; but it's consideration
was postponed at the request of Mr..
Humphrey and to suit his convenience

can be said is that the men who will
benefit by the passage of the Taft
Humphrey bill, which provides for the
payment of 100000 annually from
the public treasury to private ship
owners, have resorted to every device
known to politics to secure the sup
port of a majority of the members Of
congress. These men have spent great
sums of money to influence public
opinion, and have not hesitated to
charge lack of patriotism and even
dishonest motives against all who op-
pose ship subsidies. Misrepresentation
has been one of the chief features of
the campaign that has been carried
on by the subsidy proponents. Presi-
dent Taft's influence has been used in
every way possible to force republi-
cans into line for ship subsidy. but it
is said that in spite of the presidents
endorsement that as many as 40 re-
publicans will refuse to vote for the
bill
Positions Contracted.
Now that the general character OF
the bill that will be supported by the
minority is known, it becomes possible
to contrast the position of the two
parties on the subject of ship subsidy.
The Taft-Humphrey bill provides
that the profit of the foreign mail
branch of the postoffice department.
about $5,0O0,0 600 annually-shall be
used to establish lines of steamships
to China. Japan, Australia, the Philip
pines and South America. This would
add from eight to IL ships to the
American merchant marine.
The minority oppose ship subsidy
for many reasons. Subsidies, it is con-
tended. have been tried over and over
again without success, and while they
might make a few improbable lines
profitable at public expense, that is not
the true function of government; that
pendent manufacturer to enable him
to compete with a trust.
Would Not Cost Penny.
Free ships, contend the opponents
of subsidies. would go much further
toward restoring the American flag on
the sea than could subsidies. and
would not necessitate the expenditure
of single penny of the peoples
money. Free ships mean that an
American could purchase a ship where
ever he pleased, and sail it under
American registry. Several hundred
foreign built ships, now owned by
Americans who are forced by existing
legislation to sail them under foreign
flags, could be given American regis
try should the idea of the minority be
framed into legislation. The plea that
the American shipbuilding industry
would suffer by allowing American
registry of ships in the foreign trade
and built or purchased in foreign
countries is not justified, because
there are no foreign-going merchant
vessels now built in American ship
yards.

be used for immersing the grain.
First raise the temperature of the
grain by immersing it several times in

l30-l45 degree barrel; il the tempera-
ture of the water in the latter barrel is
1870 degrees, fifteen minutes treatment
is necessary If l35 degrees, ten min

minutes treatment should be given.
Thoroughly agitate the grain by plung-

per minute, after slightly draining IL
each time above the vessel.
The cold water barrel is next used to
reduce the temperature quickly, un-

The Duty in the Gore Case.

Senator Gore now says he is sorry for
mentioning the name of Vice President
Sherman in the Oklahoma land seam
dal He adds that he said that Jacob
l.. Hamon coupled the Vice Presidents
name with this matter, and that he
merely repeated it. Evidently Gore
thinks that his accountability for the
SANDER ends right there. But the av-
erage decent American thinks that
Gore should not be allowed to get off
quite SO easily. Perhaps the Senate
may have something to say about the
slander when the session begins in
| December
Vice President Sherman far ADLER,
broader and worthier man than Gore
is. He was in public life long before
Gore was known outside of the voting
precinct in which he resided. Socially
he stands immeasurably higher than
Gore. There is no direct question of
veracity in this case between Gore and
the Vice President, for Gore only re-

however, denies the Gore statement.
As between these two persons the gen.
eral public is at liberty to draw its own
differences. If the divergence were
squarely between the Senator and the
Vice the average person
would not hesitate to decide in favor
of the Vice-President.
viii the Senate take up this matter
and do justice to its presiding officer?
Probably it will. The reputation of
the second officer of the government
ought not to be allowed to be assailed
