ceded by a recess from May II. There

A TRIUMPH OF COMMON SENSE.

IT f the strike of British railway employees had gone on to the
point of widespread famine and sanguinary conflict, as was
threatened up to Saturday night, the government would have
suffered politically, as governments always do when labor troubles
are afoot. But it is a member Of the government, DAVID Lloyd
George, chancellor of the exchequer, who has been the chief agent
in bringing about a settlement of the most formidable industrial DIS
sibiities of war with a foreign power, generally meaning Germany,
if they do not mention that nation, they dwell chiefly on the danger
of an embargo on the supply of food. This had nearly been brought
to pass, not by foreign war, but by labor strife. In Liverpool
especially conditions resembled a state of siege. Foodstufs by the
thousands of tons were rotting at the wharves because they could
not be transported. The pinch of want was beginning to be fet
severely by the poor. There had been several clashes with mobs
in various parts of the kingdom, and even some loss of life. But
all this was only a foretaste of the woe that menaeed the country
and that has been happily averted by the exercise of common sense
and mutual concession. Terms have not yet been made. These
are to be settled by what is practically arbitration. The present
fact of Importance is that the strike is ended and the English
nation has escaped a visitation of suffering that would have shocked
the civilized world. If the British government is wise 1t will now
take a lesson from Englands greatest colony and adopt the com
mission of inquiry plan which Premier Laurier, of Canada, has
found effective in preventing industrial wars. Such a commission
Aecertains the exact facts of a dispute, publishes them and makes
a recommendation, leaving it to the force of public opinion to in
duce acceptance by the disputants.

disregard of Law.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The accident which occurred at the
-Four Corners yesterday, when an eld-
erly and prominent business mai was
run down through sheer disregard for
law, ought to bring about some more
stringent regulations to prevent just
such accidents.
A few people with more money than
brains get automobiles when they
should not be trusted with anything
larger than a dolls carriage. As a re-
suit every now and then a bad acct
DEN occurs, while scores are avoided
by the merest chance or by the quick
less of someone other than the driver
of the machine. Motormen, for in
stance, have often prevented smash
ups by their own coolness.
To restrain the few utterly reckles
drivers some pressure ought to be
brought to bear, If for no other rea-
son than to ease the motormen and
policemen and to save the nerves of
innocent by~standers. who are forced,
every little while, to dodge and scurryi
from the path of one of these ire
sponsible motorists. v. b.

WORK OF DIET KITCHEN
DOUBLES IN ONE YEAR.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The New
York Diet Kitchen Association, OF
which Mrs. Henry Willard is president,
operating nine kitchens in Manhattan
and the Bronx, has almost doubled it's
work over hat of last year In its cam
paign to save babies.
More than 1900 babies are now under
the care of the various stations. In the
past week 24.65o quarts of milk were
dispensed at the nine stations.
Besides dispensing milk for babies
and nursing mothers, the association is
carrying out an educational campaign.
Mothers conferences are held daily in
the larger kitchens and semi-weekly in
others, at which physicians examine the
babies and instruct the mothers. The
weekly attendance at these conferences
averages about 500.

What Does 1t Meant
or Of the Evening Star;

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
The strike in England, which has
now reached appalling magnitude, pre-
SCENTS a popularity in that it comes at a
time when reforms have been made
with unprecedented activity.
Why is this?
1t would suggest hat the great mass
of people in England are on the verge
of desperation. No reforms that do not
bear on their face the evidence of an
immediate amelioration of the condi-
lions of workmen are likely to satisfy
men who are desperate.
Laboring for a bare living wage, or
less, they are not likely to bubble
about the intricacies of taxation. They
want meat and bread and clothes for
themselves and their children.
This they have not been getting, and
as a result there are forty-eight pau
pers In London to every thousand in
habitants.
The same thing happened at one
time in France. starvation and over
work leading to desperation among the
workers; attempted reforms by the
government; the calling out of SOL
diers; and then the social upheaval

PROBE HIGH
COST OF LIVING
Investigation to Last Nine
Months and Be Search.
ing One.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. The Ia
Dor bureau of the department OF COM
merce and labor announce the be-
ginning of a most searching Inquiry
into the prices OF all foods, which, 1t Is
now asserted, has ever been under
taken. Nine months will be required
to complete it, and the investigation
will cover the years 190S-11.
The deep conviction of Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson, as recently pub
lished, that the high cost of food prod
ucts Is due to greed of numerous
middlemen has aroused great attention
throughout the country, and caused
the government officials to bestir
themselves to ascertain whether the
secretary is right.
The present investigation Is the
third of the kim ever attempted by
the bureau of labor, but, like invest1-
cations conducted by the Senate, no
result has ever been obtained. In the
reports which the experts of the de-
partment recently submitted to Sec
rotary Wilson, showing the prices that
the farmers are receiving for their
products, it was shown that they now
get less than they did ten years ago.
and that they are not benefting by
the high prices which the consumers
are paying for food. The report dealt
with such commodities as milk, eggs,
corn, wheat, rye and barley, and
among other facts 1t demonstrated
that while retail prices f1uctuate, those
paid to the producer remain on a
practically stationary basis.

WHAT ADMIRAL TOGO HAS SEEN.

m DMIRAL TOGOS impressions of New York and its imme-
T7\ date surroundings must be more vivid than any Others that
he received while in this country, and are probably greater
than any in England. The Japanese admiral saw in London a won
derful social pageant and he beheld also the great spectacle of an
assembled British navy. But he expected to see all of that. What
was of more interest to him as a japanese was an exhibition of the
wealth, power and resources of the United States, with which nation
Japan may in the future come in conflict. A few warships, however
formidable, would not awe him. Japan can build battleships and
also can construct 14inch guns to equip them. What did make an
impression on the admirals mind was the wonderful construction
work he beheld in New York city, the gigantic feats of engineering,
the evidences on every side of incessant energy and daring achieve
ment. Heidi not need to be told, for he had only to use his eyes.
Now, a man like Admiral Togo would draw certain deductions from
what he saw. He would say that a people capable of such things
we're equal to any great task; that they could never be caught un-
prepared by a war; that in "a conflict with another great power
American genius would be able to harness the forces of nature;
that, in short, a nation such as he behed was unconquerabe.

Opportunity for Observation.

OpBOH " HNAO
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Everyone interested in woman suf-
frage will have a rare opportunity for
the mex few weeks to observe the
work Of women officials. Two women
inspectors for the State Department
of Labor are starting the crusade for
clean bakeries In this city, visiting the
shops and taking observations on the
sanitary conditions they encounter.
This success or failure ought to be
significant to those whose minds are
not made upon the question of votes
for If these two inspectors
succeed in bringing about the much
needed reforms in bakeries II will
prove beyond doubt that women can,
in one field at least, do the work which
their political opponents say is beyond
them. One thing is sure, even II every
man has his price, as some people
claim, there are certainly great mum
bers of women who cannot be bought,
and In this respect at least they are
qualified to do the work of men in
political fields. n. e. w

THE NON-PARTISAN HABIT.

OO@ NE of the best habits a mar can form IS That OF non'
- w partisan voting" is a new doctrine that was advanced
a. a farmers gathering in South Jersey by the Governor.
The non partisan voter is a man without settled convictions and,
in SO far as party principles are concerned, he is a bushwhacker,
confessing allegiance to neither side. A man without settled con
victions is a man who has little Of the sentiment of patriotism,
for he who loves his country best is a natural partisan. during
the great Civil War there were men who had the non partisan
habit. These men didn't go to the front to fight for their country
and when they were drafted they deserted. They stayed home, and
many of them we're engaged in gambling in Wall Street on the
defeats of our armies. Others got rich on contracts. A man with
the non-partisan habit has no right to appear as a party man to
participate in nominations, for he is a chronic renegade. When
nominations are unfit the right remains with every voter to vote
independently, but that is a different matter altogether from the
habit of boiling party nominations and going over to the enemy.
1t may be observed, also, that there is usually something more than
the mere candidate involved in a party nomination. There is such
a thing as the party principle. Is that to be sacrificed to what IS
felicitously termed the habit of nonpartisanship?
