4 f SUGGESTION.

A southern commentator on the
high cost of living gravely suggests
that it may be in a u to
the American habit of Paying what
ever price is asked. instead OF hag-
Cling and beating down the dealer.
as they do in many parts Of Europe.
Returning tourists can give the most
complete answer to that proposition.
They find that wherever that process
has been successful they have carried
away a suspicion amounting practical
ly to a certainty that they have been
cheated, because reflection has shown
that the foreign dealers who reduce
their prices upon haggling are shrewd
enough to mark them up high enough
at the start to afford to make "spe-
cial' concessions to the hagGling
traveller. And what is the experience
of the tourist is true Of the native.
unless he or she is an expert In VAL
ues.
This is the real point Of the sug-
gestion. If the buyer does not know
the value of what he is buying, bag
Cling will avail him little-in fact.
the sliding scale of prices will catch
him oftener than he will v by 1t.
The American custom is infinitely the
better since it invites and insures
open competition. 1t is then up to
the buyer to judge between offers.
He ave time by not having to bag
gle. and he is assured hat he is pay
Ing no more than anyone else who
buys the same goods. This Is the fair.
square. American system. which
places dealers and buyers on an equal
ity and rewards alike the merchant
and the customer who know their
business. 1t is not haggling that is
needed, but a better knowledge by the
public of the values offered.

THE REPUTATION OF SAFETY,

1t is learned from the Cleveland
Plain Dealer that one of the trunk
lines touching that city has adopted
the policy Of making it's route "Amer-
ica's safest railroad system" and has
issued a booklet to all its employees,
from high to low, urging and instruct
ing them in the fundamental neces-
sity Of car in the performance of
their duties.
This IN a policy which will rebound
to the credit of those railroads tina,
make good on 1t. Not only IL 1t a
recognition Of the first principles OF
humanity and conscience. but it will
bring its pecuniary rewards. The dis
position of railroads has been to ad.

even to that class it is more importan,

DEMOCRATIC PLANS FOR 1915.

The democratic party is stronger at
Washington. but weaker in the coun-
try relatively, than upon coming into
power at n Previous time in Its his
tory. The party was stronger in de-
feat in 1896 and 1900 than it was in
victory in 1912. and this despite the
heavy increase in population. The
leaders Of democracy are counting or
a longer lease Of power than four
years. and TO that end a general inter-
change Of views has been going on
relative to the wisest course to be
pursued: that is, how to carry on the
government and handle legislation so
as to deserve continued success at the
polls.
The problem of 1916 presents two
big factors. First. that never in the
past has a bolt or a third party made
a formidable showing in more than
one campaign. II is the universal
fate either to be swallowed up or dis
migrated. And second. that success
another time depends IN accessions
from the ranks OF whichever Of the
republican factions is dissolved in the
Intervening -four years.
Already we have the result OF the
heart-to-heart communions. with
President-elect Wilson professedly
open-minded on all topics and poll
cies from calling an extra session to
the one-term plank. Here is what has
been tentatively agreed to without SEE
rious contention on any point: Extra
session for the adoption OF a new
tariff along the lines Of the Under
wood bills: amendment of the Sher-
man antitrust Law, more clearly de-
fning a trust and providing severer
penalties for criminal violations: re-
vision Of the financial system and reg
ulations in conformity with demo-
cratic policies.
Now, what is there in such a pro-
gram that makes a stronger appeal
for outside support than was given
the Baltimore platform and ticket?
Seeing that support was lost rather
than gained. from party advocacy Of
measures which always have and al
ways will lack the support of capital
and the business interests in general,
why persist in a policy of defeat. even
to the extremity Of setting aside the
campaign pledges Of the candidate
that quieted the fears of the business
world and undoubtedly held the votes
Of many who otherwise would have
deserted? If the strength of demo-
cracy at Washington is to be the yard
stick Of the program for 1916. the
shadows of coming events are already
cast.

Still Against Rcciprocity.

SIR Alexander Lacoste. speaker of the
Canadian senate In 1891 and for ff.
teen years chief justice of the province
OF Quebec. Sir Alexander came from
Montreal to attend a dinner Of the
Canadian society at New York, and.

toward reciprocity with the United
States" he continued. and If a vote
