Cheaper Markets.

In the present pinch of high prices
housewives can in some measure relieve
themselves of the burden of extortionate
rates by enterprise in the matter of
searching out cheaper markets than those
at which they have been dealing. There
is no unvarying uniformity of prices in
the Washington retail markets. There
are high" grocers and low grocers.
Some of the 'low' grocers deal only in
cheaper grades of goods, but others deal
in the best commodities and proceed on
tho principle of small profits but many
sales rather than few sales and large
profits. A little searching will bring
these cheaper dealers to light and the
transfer of trade to them will soon bring
the dearer ones to terms. If the fault
lies with the retailer. as Secretary Wilson
AYERS, the remedy is within the reach Of
the consumer as long some retailers
offer their goods at reasonable figures.
Here Is an instance in point. AT GER
tain neighborhood grocery potatoes have
been selling for $1.20 a bushel, with free
delivery. The purchasing agent of one
of the households supplied from this point
discovered that potatoes of better grade
lance away for 70 cents a bushel, with 10
cents charged for every delivery OF goods,
large or small. At this same establish
ment other commodities are offered for
lower prices than obtain at some of the
smaller neighborhood stores, so that even
with the charge for delivery the house
wife finds it economical to buy freely
there. Not all of the cheaper rate stores
charge for delivering, but whether they
do or not 1t is well worth while for the
housewife to hunt around and find the
cheapest market.
The neighborhood store must make
certain percentage of profit because the
field is limited. The larger establishment
with wider field of custom, can afford to
offer bargains. In these days of tele-
phones there is little reason why ad-
vantage should not be taken Of every Of
fering of reduced prices, and the house.
wife who Systematically proceeds on this
principle will cut down the domestic
grocery bill by a large percentage every
month. This may mean some trouble,
but it is good investment, especially at
this time when the bills for table sup
plies are running high and the cost of
food is a heavy burden.

The Medical Experts.
,e Chicago Record-Herald

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The medical expert who testifies now
on this side and now on that in criminal
cases and whose convictions are inf1u-
enced noticeably by the size of his fees
is harshly criticised in the report OF
special committee to the New York Bar
Association upon the problems OF law
and ethics made prominent in the Thaw
case. The medical expert, as an lnstltu-
ton, certainly deserves all the raps he
gets. His moral progress is simple. He
is used to being paid fees. When he Is
paid he is used to being complacent.
When he goes into court he carries his
commercial habits with him, and fails to
recognize the responsibility he is under
to the community. which is greater than
his responsibility to his client He
doesn't appreciate his own evil position.
If we could secure the adoption OF the
E,uropean system. by which medical ex-
perts were called by the courts, paid by
the public and made to act impartially
for all parties in the interest of truth
alone, conditions would be immeasurably
improved

Elihu Root.

The New York republicans in their
0lcmma-and they are in 4 dilemma
have turned to Senator Root. They are
not for the first time confessing their ap-
probation of his great ability. That they
did when they sent him TO the Senate by
a vote and with expressions most COM
plmentary. There was need then or a
strong man, and he was picked over all
his fellows for the emergency.
In the Senate Mr.. Root has fully met
the expectations of his friends. He would
have been conspicuous as the successor
of any man of his day, but as the sue
ceSSor of Mr.. Platt, in body where
knowledge of the law and the ability to
speak informingly and felicitously are so
very important, he has stood, and stands,
like a giant. He was conspicuous In the
tariff debate, and he should render still
more valuable service when the questions
the President has submitted to Congress
for action at this session come up. They
are strictly in line with his reading and
general legal equipment, and we shall see
him in the forefront of the battle.
But the New York dilemma calls not
for the lawyer but the politician. There
are many sorts of divisions in the party,
ranging all the way from open scandals
TO petty personal .jealousies. Fifteen
years of continuous control will produce
serious trouble in any organization, and
in a state like New York, where politics
Is a game and all the leading players are
experts, SO long period of domination is
fruitful of difficulties. Will Mr. Root
shine as politician as he has done as a
lawyer and statesman? Has he the knack
of bringing factions together upon a basis
insuring hard work by everybody? That
is his present task
In his address to his home friends last
night, Mr.. Root presented no program.
Probably at this time h. has none That
must come after consultations and later
developments. What will the New York
legislature do at this session? What will
Congress do before it puts up the shut
tiers and goes home? But whatever the
record here or at Albany, the New York
republicans must get together if they are
10 win in November. And recognizing
that fact, Mr.. Root last night contented
himself with speaking simply for har-
mony. He wants to see everybody in
line and at work.
: here is no consolation for the republic
cans in the fact that their opponents are
divided also; that the Connerites and the
ant-Connerites are giving a stirring ex-
hibition of trough house. When the
voters become convinced that tie party
in power has lost its usefulness through
chickering's and divisions they seldom
though at times they should-consider the
condition of the opposition. They turn
out the incompetents. and take all
chances.

St. Valentine.

What no. st. Valentine. What no.
New sorrows you foresee.
The suffragettes a-marching go
With angry placards in a row!
This is mo place for thee.
The housewives with suspicion scan
The bills that butchers send.
The wages of the average man
Don't fit a matrimonial plan
When prices upward tend.
The arguments grow so intense
That courtshfp'S charms are few
Mid speech on suffrage and expense,
Go hence. St. Valentine. go hence!
This is no place for you.

free delivery stimulates correspondence.
Nevertheless the postal authorities hnd
that the deposit of pennies in the boxes
tends to delay the collection and delivery
of the mails and consequently instructions
have been issued to all rural delivery
postmasters informing them that after
the 10Th of February the practice Will De
discontinued. After that date the farmers
will have to buy stamps. There will prob
ably be much grumbling, but eventually
the change will be beneficial.

The Speculative Collapse.
N the Springfield Republican.

From the Spfl0REtIU
I-nsettlement in the three great specu-
lative markets of stocks, wheat and cot
ton was continued into the first half OF
last week with severe but wholesome re-
suits All of these markets had been
forced up too high. Stock quotations had
reached level which drove away the IN
yestment of year-end interest and divi-
dend funds. The wheat market had been
lifted so far that European importers
began to turn to other markets like Ar
gentina for the grain. The cotton market
had been inflated to the point OF bringing
exports under sharp check and curtailing
the purchases of the domestic factories
Our foreign trade accordingly was be-
ginning to turn against us, sterling ex-
change ruled high around the gold ex-
port point, and the money market was
being forced into troublesome Hmfta-
tiOriS

Daniel.

The election of Mr.. Daniel to the Sen
ate for the fifth consecutive term is mgr
and deserved tribute to his character ano
public services. He has found the Worf
in that field to his taste, and has I'M
pressed himself on his associates In
way to make him very valuable to his
state and section. He is both a states
man and a gentleman of the old school
but still in touch with these new times
and man of industry. The end or his
new term will bring his seventy-fftf
year, but that need not, and probably
will not, mean retirement. So worthy
and useful an official should go with the
harness on.

Uniform Child Labor Laws.
From the Cleveland Leader.


All who realize what burdens and cruel
ties little children endure. in the more
backward or more callous states, because
there is no uniformity in the laws which
limit the hours of work for boys and
girls and fix the lowest age for their
legal employment in factories and mills,
must wish the Civic. Federation success
in the efforts which it is making to bring
about uniform child labor laws in all
parts of the country. If there We're uni
formity 1t would surely be based upon
humane and enlightened presidents. The
more advanced states would furnish the
pattern, not those which are careless of
the health and lives Of their children.

Anti-Tru Agitation.
I'M the Philadelphia Ledger

The President did well to deny prompt
ly and emphatically the disquieting re-
ports that he was contemplating new
campaign against the trusts, or, as he
puts it, IAN indiscriminate prosecution
of important industries Such purpose
would be discordant with everything that
the country has right to expect OF him.
That vague outgivings from washington
have nevertheless sufficed to keep the
business world in state bordering upon
panic must impress on him the import
ance of removing any possible doubt that
he appreciates the gravity of the present
anomalous situation.
