INVESTIGATE RAISE IN PRICES
OF FOODSTUFFS.

OF EOODSIUEES,
 We do not know what value the res- buttons introduced in congress yes erday calling for investigation of the aise in the prices of food may have, but no harm can be done in making he inquiry. The ordinary rules by which reasonable explanation might pe made for raising the prices of oodstuffs will not hold good in this ase for the reason that instead of here being a scarcity of such articles h this country, at present there must necessarily beta large surplus. We lave, however, the statement of that rninent authority, James J. Hill. that Ee do not raise, enough of foodstuffs this country to supply the people here but on the other hand, this is a banner year for crops: there Is no kay, to speak of, by which any of he goods can be transported to for ign lands therebyiimproving the con- itions here, and yet the prices are uVduCCu CO SdH uupl0C0u0nISu u0. ree. It has always been claimed hat this is done by a group of men ho control the markets and who can dvance prices at will and do so vhenever 1t pleases their fancy to do o. If this is so then the suits of the government against so-called trusts fr,0 Ind 1n 1,% 1ys oP iolators. Surely there can be no hore outrageous, act than to prevent he people from obtaining foodstuffs with which the country is now so we'll Implied unless they pay unreasonable rices for them. The prices quoted ecently are almost prohibitive and Ire. so for great many.
 The war in Europa is having a. de- ressing effect in this country by tying r shipping and preventing goods rom being sent abroad and from the ere, a. need that was never made ap- aren't until the war started. There ave,been explanations made as to the ause sof the increase in the price of heat, and it sounds reasonable nough If the supply of cattle, as as been alleged, has decreased, then ccordingf to all laws of political econ- my the price should go up because he demand for fresh meat Is con- tantly increasing. Beef has been Foming in from Argentina, but not in ufhcient quantities to affect the price was, only last week that New Britain sman sought to purchase a car pad of beef from that country and Ras unable to do so. It may be that he western men control this supply, ut 1t will be remembered that when nquiry was made concerning the beef rust it was reported that there was To such trust
 A diligent inquiry might do some ood now because the conditions at resent are different from any other fme. It cannot be urged that there a scarcity of any class of foodstuffs low except beef, and yet the prices of lI have been advanced. There is no punishment too, severe for those who eek to add to their own wealth by aking 1t from the mouths of the poor nd the needy.

Returning Farmers.

The movement of American farmers to the Canadian provinces is on the decline, as it should be. Indeed, it never should begun. Having once be- gun it should have been of short life and negligible results. But the Cana dian officials are expert advertisers and the way they gave publicity to their advantages and glossed over their disadvantages was a lesson that any press agent might study with profit.
 The strongest point made in this advertising campaign was the fact that in the far northern provinces exploited there were actually more hours of sunshine in their growing season of about six weeks than in our longer season of nearly three months. Theoretically this may be true, but most of our citizens who forsook their home country for foreign soil soon found that this promise usually failed of fulfillment, as did the great CT promises of a more equable cli- mate than We have on this side of the border.
 In the year 1912 Americans crossed the borders into Canada to the num- Der of 97951 and only 3S,317 of them
 
 that some 6O,OOO of them must have remained there either as landowners, tenants or workmen. In the eleven months ending June 1 of the present year, 68,396 of our people went over the border and A, ,127 of them re- turned home This shows that what for a time looked Gge a hegira to the promised land,'' has lessened fifty per cent while the returning army has increased nearly eighty per cent
 It is a difficult matter to ascertain the true situation of the Americans who went across the border in tho last four years. Many of those who return will not tell all, because they have left behind them somewhere in the Canadian provinces lands on which they have made substantial payments and they wish to unload. Those who came back landless and broke do not care to exploit their follies. Those who remain, many of them hanging on and hoping against hope that a day is coming when they can sell out and get back home-they are the ones who still send out the l rose-hued statements about the re- gions close to the frozen north. There is another side to the story the side showing the good Ameri-
 can dollars paid to the horde of agents who secured the northwest and roped in settlers by the thousand. It is said that in one of the small cities of Oregon more than $1oO,OOO worth of Canadian soil was sold,
 about 33 1-3 per cent. of which was clear "velvet" to the agents.
 We have no great sympathy for those of our fellow-citizens who could afford the losses thus made,
 but we do deeply regret the losses in 1 cured by those who practically put | their last dollars into such deals, deals worked up by a division of con,- i missions between the agents and the men of wealth who first bit" It was 1 this double crossing that did nearly | as much damage we suffered by 1 the loss of so many of our ha rd work l ing citizens.

The devotees of modern dancing should take heed of recent significant items in the daily news and indulge their fondness for terpsichorean diver- sion very moderately for time. An other noted dancer is about to "go un- der the knife.' This fate has been distressingly frequent of late among the eminent exponents of the tango and the maxixe. Until medical science shall have made some definite state ment as to this peculiar susceptibility to appendicitis, it may be we'll for the eager dancers to be prudent.-Provi- Gence Journal.
