that many causes contribute TO the
advance in prices. 1t cannot be laid
to any one thing. Increased cost of
production of farm products by rea-
son of high land values and higher
wages is given as leading cause, as
is also increased demand for farm
products and food, and the shifting
of population from farm to city. In
creased money supply is leading fac
tor, according to the committee.
About the best that can be said of
the report is that it indicates more
clearly than ever the difficult nature
of the problem of what has caused TIE
high cost of living and points to the
need of inquiry by an impartial anu
unhampered Government commission.

CHILDREN TO GET THEIR
FAIRGROUNDS.

Those upon whom rests the respon-
sibility for maintaining public play
grounds in Washington have adopted
the wise course in deciding to use the
$1,000 appropriated by the present
Congress, even though they object to
the plan of drawing the money from
the Districts funds, instead of half
from the District and half from the
Government. Congress- undoubtedly
violated the spirit and letter of the
organic act of the District in making
the playground appropriation. and the
Playground Association, together with
citizens generally, are justified in feel
ing resentful. However, the primary
issue to be considered is the welfare of
the children
The Playground Association has no
moral right to deprive the children of
Washington of the benefits of the pub
lie Fairgrounds merely because it
doesn't agree with Congress on a point
of law. The children need the play
grounds and should have them. In for
getting their own feelings, the officials
and members of the association, and
the others who helped them arrive at
their decision, are doing that which a
majority of the citizenship of the Dis
trict would undoubtedly have them do.
1t isn't right for Congress to make
the District pay all OF this Sl7 900,
and Congress should not have made
the appropriation as it did, but, never
theless, if it is necessary for the Dis
trict to put up all of it, the District
can do it.
To decline to use the $1,000, under
the circumstances, would be to lay
upon the children of Washington an
injustice much more severe than the in
justice laid upon the District by Con-
gress in the provisions of the play
ground appropriation.

SENATOR CORES CHARGES
MUST BE PROBED.

In the closing hours OF this session
of Congress Thomas P. Gore. the blind
Senator from Oklahoma. has made
charges of attempted bribery so start
ling that they cannot be ignored. Be
cause of the character of the charges
themselves and because OF the char
acter of the man who makes them. an
immediate and full investigation is
imperative
Senator Gore is one of the most
generally respected men in Congress.
a Democrat, from the new State of
Oklahoma, he is recognized as an off
cial Of integrity and high purpose.
Coming from such a man, the charges
Of attempted bribery are doubly
serious.
Congress has been trying to wind up
its work and adjourn today, but. if
necessary, it should remain a few days
longer, for the purpose of making a
thorough investigation into the Gore
charges, or at least creating an investi-
eating committee that viii at once
go to the bottom of the alleged irregu-
larity of which Senator Gore com
plains.
The charges of Senator Gore even in
volve men who are now members Of
Congress. He said in the Senate Fri
dav ofta NOON +bo+ n c., - - .
Represents tive were interested in the
Indian contracts for which special
legislation was desired, and concern
ing which he says he was approached
with money proposition.
Senator Gore has created condition
of extreme seriousness. Congress can
not eonscientiOusly do otherwise than
make, or order made, an investigation
which viii reveal the very last evidence
of possible crookedpess.

HOUSE VOTE ON SHERMAN
LAW ENFORCEMENT.

The House, by vote of l3S to $50
has decided 10 strike out of the sundry
civil bill the amendment of Represen-
tative Hughes providing that no part
of the money allowed for the enforce
ment of the Sherman antitrust law
should be used for the prosecution of
labor organizations engaged in efforts
to increase their wages. This action
was taken after a spirited debate and
after President Taft had brought strong
pressure on wayering members to get
them TO vote to strike out the amend
ment.
In the debate, much was made of en-
forcing C. NV against all classes of
citizens, ricii and poor, high and low,
with abs5lu,e impartiality.
On the face ci things, the House ac-
tion in receding iron its amendment
is a blow TO organized Lake,. Rnt
there is another view to take of it. 1t
has been long since there was a square
lineup in the house on measure which
the labor leaders were vitality interest
ed IN. Now, there has been such lineup
and organized labor is put in the posi-
ton of being able to know Just what
strength it can depend on in the
House. The same is true of the Sem
ate, for test has been made there.
