CNew York SUM-


In these days when the high cost of
living is So much in the public mind,
when the bills of the butcher, the
grocer and the coal man threaten to
disrupt the family happiness and
bring the sheriff knocking at the door,
it is interesting to know what it costs
a steamship company TO provide the
necessaries of life to the hordes Of
passengers who cross and reeross the
Atlantic. The annual statement of the
North German Lloyd for 1912, just is
sued, throws some interesting light on
the subject, and may possibly make
ones own monthly statement seem
small in comparison. Last year the
company's bill for provisions alone
was S4,920,000. while during the same
period the coal man was paid S7,376,-
1876 for 1,75S,740 tons of coal which
we're shoveled into the maws of the
ships furnace during the twelve
month. For thees two items alone
provisions and eoal-the company paid
the enormous sum of S12,296.735, and
the greater part of this fortune drop
ped into the Golfers of Uncle Sam.
That sea sickness does not always
interfere with the appetite of ocean

Not the least gain from the cleo
ton of Woodrow Wilson is the slim
illus it has given to moral thought.
The election of a new party to pow
er is always an occasion for house
cleaning. But it does not always ush-
er in such an era of confessions such
as that in which we find ourselves.
One after another, men in public
relations are coming forward of their
own volition with admission of their
wrong-doing. And every such con-
fession is a stimulus to other con-
fessions.
Confessions of the nature of those
