THE WOMAN AND THE MARKET
BiShET

Certain women Of Flushing who have
attacked the problem of the high cost
of living have exhibited a degree of
common sense which should go far tow
ard bringing about a successful solution.
Impressed by the high prices they had
stuffs produced near by, they have been
urging the establishment of public
market where consumers might avoid
paying the profits of the middlemen 10y
doing business direct with the farmers.
Scoffers have arisen TO declare the Plan
lmpracticable As their most damaging
argument they have pointed out that
the women who patrOnized this market
would have TO carry the old-fashioned.
almost forgotten market basket. and.
surely no woman of pretensions To So
cia eminence would dare be caught III
public with a unitarian market basket
oil her arm
These arguments the women answered
market Of the kind proposed. That com
mttee has reported favorably. And AS
for the market basket idea, the report
says, 1--WE do not believe woman would
lose an iota of social prestige by carry
"ing market baskets through the streets
"This is no famine time, so why should
I'VE be forced to pay famine prices for
"foodstuffs that are grown SO near byY'

ton Of the chemical rider as irnpolisic
and dangerous.
In the debate in the Senate on
August II John Sharp Williams, who
Is looked TO more than any other Dem
ocrat for leadership on the tariff ques-
ton In that body, uttered a warning
against extemporized legislation like
the revised chemical schedule. saying
Il am not willing to be put on record
"as indorsing amendments containing
page after page of tariff schedules
when I know that they neither have
"been considered at the ether end OF
"the Capitol nor can be considered by
"the time the amendment reaches the
"other end Of the Capitol" Although
he voted for the chemical schedule, he
frankly admitted: II am inclined to
think that | made a mistake when l
did It."
Senator La Toilette. Mr.. Underwoods
collaboration in most of the revision
undertaken at the last session, was
even more explicit. He said when Mr..
Oyerman's rider was under considera-
ton: THE whole subject of the chem
"ical schedule is one so intricate and
complicated and its relation to the
cotton schedule is such tnat | have no
hesitation whatever In voting TO reject
"the amendment proposed by the Sen
"Gtor from North Carolina"
Mr.. UnderwOod's assertion that the
Ave amended schedules expressed the
views of the Democrats and coalition
lists las 10 what the tariff should be in
the interest Of the American people,
is, therefore. untenable. He finds him
self lonely and unsupported in making
IT, What he should have said was that
they expressed very clumsily and blum
deringly the purely political purpose of
the Democrats and Insurgents In Con
greSS TO embarrass the President.

THE PORTUGUESE REPUBLIC.

With the election of Mr.. Arriaga as
its first constitutional President the
Portuguese Republic may he regarded
as completely organized and established
The successive steps TO that END nave
been taken neither heSitatingly nor
precipitately. but with care and reso-
lution. II was on October 10, 1910, that
the monarchy was oyerthrown and the
republic was proclaimed; on May -
national elections for a Constituent AS
sembly were held that Assembly met
on June 10 and on August "A the Pres
ident was elected. The entire process
occupied a little more than ten months.
There is reason for hoping that the
work thus done will prove enduring. III
the hope is realized 1t will be partly be-
cause of the deserts Of the republic and
partly because Of the weakness of the
monarchists. The deposed king is In
MANY respects an amiable person, but
he is scarcely TO he regarded as Tor
midable. either in open conflict or In
ipsidious intrigue. In fact the day OF
formidable pretenders seems 10 be past.
The Carlist wars were its epilogue.
The existing pretenderS are not cast III
heroic mould, and circumstances do not
give opportunity for their leading
armies or organizing alliances and in
terventions. 1t is inconceivable that
any European power could to-day play
the part that France played in the
Stuart days. The reported attempt al
a royalist invasion from Galicia Will
bave no support nor countenance from
the Spanish government.
The deserts of the republic are not
as great as might he desired, yet they
are by no means inconsiderable. There
has been a marked recession from the
boast that there should be no Church
and no God in Portugal. Clericalism
has been overthrown and clerical dom
nation will be guarded against. as 1t
should he and rs It Is elsewhere But
the bigotry and despotism of clericalisln
will not be replaced with the equally
detestable bigotry and despotism of Sec
ularism. The early symptoms of that
misfortune have notably abated, and
there are now indications of rational
freedom. 1t takes n long time 10 ac-
complish great reforms in government
as bad as that of Portugal was before
the revolution. But there has been per-
ceptible improvement, and there is
rea sonable assurance of more.
There Is. moreover, large degree of
sympathy with the republic, even In
monarchical countries. OF all the pow
ers Great Britain stands closest to
Portugal, and the sympathies of Great
Britain are democratic. So are those
of France. and of far too much of
Spain TO permit the latter country to
be used as the base Of royalist prop
uganda against the Lisbon government.
Italy, too, with its close relations with
the Braganzas, Is democratic Ger
many and Austria Hungary maintain
the monarchist tradition more strongly
than most other nations but they do so
defensively rather than aggressively,
and neither Of them, nor indeed any
other European power. will discriminate
against Portugal because Of her form Of
government RepubiCanism. once pro-
scribed, is now received and respected
in Europe.

SlOO 600 FOR MGR. IRELAND

THE FRENCH PENULTIMATUM.

II is not an ultimatum. we are told,
which France is presenting TO Germany.
1t Is simply a statement OF France 8
maximum offer TO Germany in settle
ment of the acute controversy over Mo
rocco. To the mind Of the proverbial
man in the street there may seem TO be
more distinction than difference between
the two. Perhaps we may compromise
the Technology by calling 1t penulti-
nahum. Ii is Frances ultimate offer.
But that does not necessarily mean that
its refusal will precipitate war. For
while France will offer no more than she
/, now offering she does not shut the
door against further negotiations by de-
claring that she will not consider any
greater demands by Germany.
The situation Is precisely as We con-
ceiyed and defined 1t some weeks ago.
France wants present predOminance and
ultimate proprietorship In Morocco. IN
der the Algeclras treaty she has some
thing very much like that But that
treaty expires in the near future, and
Germany practically serves notice that
upon its expiration its principles will
no longer be respected, but Morocco
will be regarded as open TO the political
ard military exploitation Of all powers
specifically by Germany on equal foot
ing with France: in token whereof Ger
