AN EXPLANATION THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN.

cTTa HE Lodge committee has given up the job of showing that the
Ill Payne, Aldrch Taft tariff has nothing to do with high prices
but other authorities have been diligently searching out
causes other than the real ones. a special State commission in
Massachusetts now reports that the primary cause is the increased
gold supply, and names al IL of the additional factors "the enor-
nous waste of income in the United States, through uneconomici
expenditures for war and national armament, and through multiple
forms of extravaganza, both public and private Evidently the
fact did not occur to this sapient commission that the two causes
II names are operative in Europe equally as we'll as in the United
States. England and Germany are building more warships than
the United States. and all the countries of Europe have much larger
expenditures for war establishments. The increased gold supply is
not for america alone. Europe shares it equally with us. If in
creased gold and expenditure for ornaments explain American high
prices. what explanation can be given of the low prices of the neces-
saries of life that prevail in Europe and in Canada?

Germs, Cnndy and Fruit.

TO the Editor OF the Evening Star:
While the Board of Health is very
much in the local limelight just now,
owing to h denunciations by the Rev.
Louis S. Osborne, the public-spirited
rector of Old Trinity Church, it ma be
well to call attention to the criminally
careless way in which candy and GER
tain kinds of fruit are sold by the
vendors on some of the streets in this
city, chiefly to children. The candy
and fruit are frequently coated with
tho dirt of the street. and, of course
the little ones swallow myriads of
germs in all the innocence of their
hearts. ! think it is IN TO somebody
III authority to sec to it that stuff is
kept free from dirt. Figs and dates
are particularly prone to catch all the
dirt that floats near them.
GOOD HEALTH.

TO tn. Editor OF the Evening Star:
I would like n brief space in your
columns for q suggestion which / think

dound TO the credit and glory and even
tho upbuilding Of the city OF Newark.
Here is the Newark team playing a
game of baseball which is the talk of
the country, without the slightest en-
couragement from the quarter where
it should receive the most. 1t is true
thai the public is supporting McGin-
nity's fine aggregation by attending
the games.
But there is other support needed.
In Pittsburg the Board of Trade Of
fered its baseball team $500 If it won
the pennant. The team won, and the
city got twenty times that sum in ad-
vertlsing.
What is the matter with our Board
of Trade? Was there ever a grander
opportunity offered to advertise the city
than the present one?
Let the Board of Trade offer, say

WRECK or ADMINISTRATION MEASURES.

IT 7 wasn't because President Taft was off on one of his banquethng
trips away from Washington that his railroad bill went to
~ pieces in the Senate yesterday. The thing would have hap
pened If the President had remained in the White House. All hat
the President could do to get this bill through Congress has been
dene. II WAS adopted as an administration bill; it was strongly
Recommended in a special message; notice was served on recalci
trant Republicans that their votes on the bill would be tests Of
their party loyalty; they We're threatened with loss of the Federal
Iatienage, and personal persuasion was brought to bear upon them
At The White House. Despite all these influences, the adminstra-
tin measures have been held up, the railroad bill has been emascu-
lated in both houses and now has dim chances of passage in any
shape. insurgency has increased, and The whole ADMINISTRATION pro
gram is i'll peril. As Cannon lost his grip in the House, so .Aldrichs
hold on the Senate is broken. The two pillars of strength that Mr..
Taft selected for his administration have proved unequal to the
strain. Weak aud yacillating has been the Taft administration,
and it is now in danger of utter dscredit by IL Republican Senate
and q Republican House. How will it appear to the people when
Congress adjourns and the election campaign begins?

MQNTCLAR CHILDREN FOR A SANE FOURTH

~ POLL OF the children of Montclair yesterday on the question
IN of the abandonment of the customary celebration Of the
Fourth of July showed the surprising result of a large ma
jority in favor of the proposition. Every school gave majoriies
How far the vote reflects the real sentiments of the children. and
to what extent it represents the influence of teachers and parents
it is hard to determine. There can be no doubt that these influences
were largely brought to bear. Now that the Montclair children
have formally adopted a sane and safe Fourth of July celebration,
it. may occur to Newarkers who want to escape the noises of the
day to repair to Montclair on the night before the Fourth and re-
main there for twenty-four hours. And yet there is no sure guar

peace and quiet will reign in the town. Children are quite forgeful

other words out of every 1000 people
the number living in cites is ou5-fifth
anger than it was nine wear ago
This bears out the contention that the
consumer in the country are increaing
faster than the producer, The bulk of
immigration locate in the center of
population instead of going out and
becoming producers This is one of the
reasons for the increase in food prices
