RIPLEY'S WRONG VIEW

E.. p. Ripley, president Of the Santa
Fe Railroad company. who is passing
the winter in vine-clad Santa Barbara,
having enough of this worlds goods TO
enable him to escape the rigorous
climate Of more northern localities, says
the high prices of food are due as
much to the extravaganza of American
women, who have the spending OF the
wages of the American workingmen, as
TO the avarice of the trusts Mr..
Ripley further states it as his beiief
that most housewives will pay three or
four times as much for food done mp in
fancy packages rs they will for the
same foods without the frills."
The American housewives plead not
guilty to the indictment, and will be
sustained r. the court of public opin-
ion. SoIA., women are extravayant.
50 are some men. When it comes to
charging the women with responsibility
for the prevailing high prices, Mr..
Ripley shoots wide of the mark. Gen
orally speaking. il it were not for the
great economies practiced by the
housewives the families over which
they preside would go hungry half OF
the time. Some other causes for the
extortion at present practiced will have
10 be found other than the extravaganza

Arriving at Kabul she was obliged

young Indian no more, though she was
allowed to talk with him unseen.

As partisan political data these facts
have no interest for the Daily, but as
straws showing in which direction the
wind is blowing they are more than
interesting. Politicians would say that
the issues on which politicians base
their campaigns are not the issues that
decide the results of elections. So it
was in this case. The tariff. certainly,
did not cause more than 800 republicans
who had voted the party ticket two
years ago to desert it in the present
eInU.s-- Indeed. the tariff had little
or nothing To do with the peoples YER
dict. Republicans had a better reason
for supporting the democratic nominee.
That reason was their opposition, not to
Cannon. but 10 Cannonism. The re-
publican nominee boasted of his loyalty
to the stand-pat element of his party.
He upheld Cannonism. He went even
so far as to repudiate the republican
proyrcssiyes IN congress and to particu-
larry single ont Victor Murdoch for
adverse criticism. The democrats
made the most of this situation, and
the people did the rest, giving the
democratic nominee a plurality of 1888
votes as against Diamonds plurality
Of 9. 100 in 1908. The significant fact is
that an analysis of the vote shows the
democratic gain was almost wholly
contributed by former republican
townships. Therein lies the warning

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

The state of the country just now is
not altogether assuring. We are told
that it is prosperous north, east, south
and west, that never was so much work
going on; that never was labor so we'll
rewarded: that never was tIy-e so much
money. We suspect that is true. On
the other baud, never was speculation
so fierce, never did il cost the poor man
so much to live. And the cost of living
is breeding IA discomfort and an i'm
patience that is dangerous to peace and
to society. Congress does not seem to
be doing much, and still we know that
there is hardly q nan in either branch
that does not want the best dom for the
country that can be done. But the
lower house is torn with discussions,
should be settled in q day, for they are
in the main personal; no great principle

vast deal of mere personal spite and
anger which should be done away with.

1t has long been known that milk

shown that fowls as we'll as birds are

often contain virulent germs OF this
disease and may easily he the means

claims that he has even found active
diphtheria germs In an egg at his own
