THE FOOD PROBLEM.

To The Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: The very same thing that I had
been thinking about I see this morning
written out in a letter to The Tribune,
namely, that IL il took the whole dollar TO
buy twelve eggs and a pound of butter
with what would a poor person buy the
remaining life essentials? 1t did not ap-
pear in the contemplation OF the matter
that being changed TO a Democrat would
mend the situation. One rather felt as if
the wiser course would be to become either
spirit with no craving for bread and
butter, or else a sensible. seIf-supporting
farmer.
AS for blaming the government that is
hardly fair; but il does seem that food
products needed here in these United
States should not be sent away to other
countries.
So many changes OF people, Of climate
OF politics, Of ideas and religions sveep
over the land ana alter conditions that a
hundred Presidents could not possibly keep
everything in apple pie order. Indeed. had
II not been for the recent conscience
awakening period OF the Big Stick Man"
We might have been worse off rhaa We are
However. II is 10 be hoped that no spirit
OF greed or misapplication OF its resources
will take away from this Land OF the
Free its fine reputation of being TO the
great and small also the proverbiaI land
that flows with milk AMI honey"

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Again the price of meat is going up
Can any one tell why? Is there any good
reason? Has there been a good reason
for it's steady rise for the last few years?
Must we continue 10 pay. pay. pay, with

Shall we continue to heap ducats upon

The wholesaler attempts TO shit all
blame; but IL the cattle raiser Is the bene-
ficiary, why is he going out Of the busi-
ness? II the retailer is getting the extra
money, why does he not show signs OF pros
perity? And why is 1t that the wholesale
man is a man OF wealth, whose fortune
is steadily on the increase?
Is II necessary that the price OF corn
the gold question or other excuses enter
into the discussion, when we realize the
great and increasing wealth OF the whole
sale man? Is not this quite enough 10
prove that the consumer will be squeezed
as long as he consents TO be2
We are encouraged that there is 70 De
an investigation by Congress, but wniie
the matter is going through the "circum-
locution office I would suggest 70 your
readers that they register a vow TO ao-

of February until the prices are reduced
to reasonable figures. II may be that IN
this way, and in this way only. the con-
sumer will be able TO protect himself

A NOTABLE ANNOUNCEMENT

From The Editor and Publisher
The New-York Tribune is this week ba
ing generously congratulated because or
its big beat in announcing the coming re-
tirement 10 private life OF Governor Charles
e. Hughes of New York The future or
Governor Hughes has been for some time
a matter OF intense interest TO the Empire
State and of great interest throughout the
country.
Last Monday The Tribune printed an
article stating that the Governor would NOT
accept denomination. No one was quoted
nor was il said that the information had
come from the Governor, vet the artfcla
was SO we'll and convincingly written thar
the other editors in New York instantIv
accented IL as inspired. and referred To
The Tribune story.
Next day. Tuesday, The Tribune printed
an authorized interview with Csovern0r
Hughes, given 10 the Tribune bureau AT
Washington. corroborattng the story OF the
prior day. The fact that so many contsr1
noraries frankly and cordially credited THE
Tribune with the beat has caused unuslaI
interest and comment among the rnemhsrs
of the profession In New York
New-York tribune., 1910-01-23

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I read in to-days Tribune that a
petition has been made for an injunction
restraining the shirtwaist strikers or their
sympathizers from interfering in the bust
ness of the petitioner. Permit me TO call
attention TO a condition relative 70 the
above which demands immediate consid-
Grafton.
The summit OF human unreason is
reached when some advocates OF equal srf-
frage take a hand in the affairs Of the
strikers and afford them the very comfort
ing information that they are being op-
pressed, that their rights are denied them.
and then proceed to drive them into state
bordering on anarchy, In the name OF all
that is ilst and reasonable, what justified
these persons in interfering?
It is the truth that If you were TO place
the workers in the shoes Of their employers
they would practise the very same methods
they decry! It is the curse OF gold' when
we have not got 1t, but It becomes "the
blessing OF the rich when we have. These
employers have risen from the ranks by
their own intellect.
There is d decided inconsistency in the
stand taken by labor unions. They make
demands which, if acceded to. would be
the ruinatlon Of any business They say
no employer shall dictate 10 u.s." and then
proceed 10 dictate 70 the employer
There is tendency TO decry the methods
OF the trusts in restraining trade. But
what shall be said of the labor unions who
demand unreasonable conditions and If
they are not granted tie up business and
restrain trade by striking? If the employ
er endeavors 10 relieve the situation by en-
pIoytng men to fill the places of the strikers,
the latter resort TO mob rule. and when the
police interfere TO restore order they pro-

on the drive between the mountains
and the shore. Thus each half of the
drive might be regarded as an indepen-
dent road leading from New York. From
this city the driver might turn to the
north. along the cliffs and into the noun

meadows, TIE pines, the beach and the
ocean. We know Of no other great city

splendor Of the conception and the
facility of the opportunity which is now

In all respects save one the plan
seems to be entirely practicable, and we
may hope there viii prove TO be no ex-
ception. 1t will require for complete
success the cooperation of the Cana
dian government on similar, if not iden-
teal, lines. That is something which
we cannot command, but which it ought
to be possible to secure. The same con-
siderations which prevail here should
be equally potent in Canada.

may elect a President. If no choice has
been made In the Electoral College, ana
that amendment also provides that IL
