sUR-EDIToR'S PLIGHT

Editor George o. Woodruff, of the Litchfield Enquirer, is luxuriatin2 among the Everglades of Florida, where he will remain until next month. In the meantime the Inquirer is left to the tender mercies and the merciful tender ness of the state building and loan com missioner, Lawyer James P. Woodruff. who is the democratic brother of the republican editor. and associate editor of the paper. Brother James makes the announcement in a somewhat lugubri- ous paragraph in which he says Brother George gave him permission to go the limit on obituaries and locals, but ad- mOnished him that "any attempt to lower the colors mailed to the mast would be promptly pied by the faithful devil ~colors," be it understood, being the slogan, "Taft for President, 7" under which pronouncement the demo- cratic sub-editor's public sentiment moulding operations must be carried on. The negative enthusiasm of the sub editor over his temporary responsibility is clearly indicated in this excerpt from his statement of the situation: "Now we would frankly inquire, where is the democratic Associate going to get any fun out of the job of running this sheet. during the absence of the whilom and erstwhile democratic, but now willy and all,the-w while, republican editor unless he can express his political views? The 'associate' can hustle for new sub- scribers, but the editor take the sub- scription. No fun, no nun. Whats the use? ?"

The project Is purely expert mental with the Business Mems Associ- ation and if it proves successful and is appreciated by the people, it is probable that the Association will make these farmers days in town regular feature at certain seasons of the year, and incor- porate other and elaborate attractions from time to time, to make our neighbors in the outlying districts feel an interest in the Business Mems Association, and enlist thelr cooperation in the work of bettering the condition of all,

COM MERcIAL GREED

This comment, by the New York World, on the commercial greed that keeps up the high price of living, de- serves the widest possible publicity :: When wholesale dealers can buy butter for 23 cents pound in the summer, store it for six months for a nominal charge and sell it to retailers for 97 cents a pound i'll midwinter, cause of the high cost of living is disclosed which has nothing to do with conditions of supply and demand but is due solely to com merical greed.
 Exacting 50 per cent. profit for ne- cessity of life is extortion pure and sim pie. The testimony as to this practice bought out at the Magistrates inquiry into the methods of butter and egg deal CTS has of itself alone justified the pur- pose of the investigation. It shows that butter is dear because dealers choose to make it dear, not because of scarcity. 1t sheds a flood of light on the whole question of the artificial increase of food prices through the utilization of cold storage facilities to Oppress the con sumer.
