In time like this our people should

erect an altar of fraternity in their

The Probe.

The United States government and
number OF States and municipalities ar,
taking active steps in the investigation
OF the recent sudden advance Of pro
visions and supplies. This government
is afflicted with as dirty a lot OF specu
lators in the necessaries OF life as ever
faced yawning prison door. The
farmer will not take care OF himself
and the commission man looks after
his cupidity. Every other interest un-
der the sun organizes itself into an inn
pregnable monopoly, but the planter
cannot, it seems, get his vocational
interests consolidated. Therefore the
farmer is at the mercy Of the commits
sion man and the speculator, and just
now, while the war cloud is offering a
subterfuge, these spectators are send
ing the prices of sugar. foods, ETC., sky
high. They are taking advantage Of
the situation to discredit the work OF
the Administration OF President Wilson
and the new tariff laws, and they would
be glad to overthrow the whole system
Of good government il they could gain
in dollars and cents by it.
In the first place, the United States
Department of Agriculture, and the gov
eminent, OF course, has been lending
aid to this sort of business. The crop
estimate report, just before harvest,
is made to assist speculation and arti-
ficially low prices. Then, when big in
terests absorb the product, they put it
on the market at unproportionately
higher prices for the consumer. The
sugar planter has no sugar now, but the
big sugar interests and refineries have
il and they are treating the consumer
with raw deal. In other words, the
speculative and not the natural profit
figures in sugar and we are paying twice
as much for sugar as we did few weeks
ago. There is no good reason for this.
So it is all the way through The
farmer and planter is held up and the
consumer is held up. And this high
way robber who gets the cream has
been permitted to ply his nefarious bus
mess unmolested.
But the President is after him now,
and the President has never failed yet.
1t is high time something is done.

The Arbiter.

These fellows who are trying to create
abnormal prices and others who are do
ing everything they can to retaliate be-
cause the government is destroying the
protective tariff and incidentally their
protected bonanzas, may rant and fly
into the face Of an equitable and proper
adjustment Of things, but the wisdom
OF the President and bis wise counsellors
will prevail, and no man, whether
Roosevelt, or whoevever he is, will ever
be able to turn the government back TO
the old and unjust protective system.
They may criticise Wilson, and the
combination Of progressives and reac-
tionaries may even elect Republican
President, which we do not believe, but
thank goodness, the government Of the
United States is moving forward and
not backward. The tariff is relic OF
corporate inequality and q blight to
opportunity. 1t has served its day, and
the people OF the present century will
see it no more. II should have died
thirty years ago, and the people would
have been infinitely better off. Presi-
dent Wilson made this a possibility and
reality. Thewealthy classes are now
paying some OF the burdens Of taxation
and the upkeep Of an expensive govern
ment and its officials.
This is not an President Wilson and
the Administration have done: They
are bringing about peaceable relations
in Mexico, which has for some time
looked like an impossible task. 1t was
one Of the greatest accomplishments
ever made by any President, when the
admixture Of the races and the condi-
tons in Mexico are taken into considera-
ton.
And in the end we believe that Presi.
dent Wilson will yet prove the best
counsellor in the present European
struggle. His good Offices win UNI

SENDS PHILIP TO SMYRNA
LOOK UP AMERICANS
q. S. Ambassador to Turkey Acts on
Reports Of Anti Christian Upris-
ing in Asia Minor.

CoNsTANTINoPLE. June 1s.-Henry
Morgenthau, United States ambassador
to Turkey. today sent Hoffman Philip.
secretary Of the embassy, to Smyrna to
ascertain the position there Of Ameri-
can citizens who might be placed in
danger by the threatened anti-Chris-
tian rising in Asia Minor.
Turkish refugees from Macedonia,
who assert that they have been driven
out by the Greeks, have arrived in con-
siderable numbers on the Asiatic coast,
where they have taken possession of
entire villages deserted by their former
Greek inhabitants, who have crossed
over to the islands of Chios and Nifty
lene.
There has been some pillaging in the
district along the coast of Asia Minor
and altogether the position there is
generally regarded as a dangerous one,
although Turkish officials are using
great efforts to keep the people in
check.
At the same time preparations are
being made by the Turkish authorities
to meet any possible Greek attack. The
Turkish minister of war has gone to
Smyrna, and the Turkish troops have
planted mines at the entrance to the
gulf.

KNOWLEDGE Of PAST
KEY TO DAYS ISSUES
Cool Judgment Also Must Be Used
in Handling Problems,
Says Lodge.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, June 1S.-Exist-
ing problems. social and governmental.
must find their solution through a
knowledge of the past and cool judg-
ment of the present" United States
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge told the
members of the Harvard Alumni AS
sociation in his address as presiding
officer at. the annual meeting today.
Mr. Lodge said, in part:
Just now we have with US one of
the recurrent periods when the world
is filled with reforms. largely destructive
and punitive in character, generally of
that most attractive kind which aims
at making some one other than our
selves virtuous by process of law.
There is all about US widespread de-
sire to elevate the moral or material
condition of others. To all such
propositions the university must give
admission for purposes of study. The
university must look upon them with
attention and examine them not merely
in the roseate glow of enthusiastic
hope. but by the cold. clear light of
the past, before she decides that they
are tit for the ordeal of the future and
will prove a benefit to mankind.
Things Not to Be Forgotten.
The university must not in it's
eagerness to be in sympathy with the
present, which is SO evanescent that
some philosophers deny its existence,
forget that the future is built upon the
past and that a house without any
foundations is more unstable even than
the one which rests upon the shift
ing sands.
Just now to take a very present ex-
ample, 1t Is the fashion to assail the
Constitution of the United States. Be-
fore we overthrow the Constitution it
Is well to understand it, to know it's
principles, to learn its history, to de-
termine whether the changes proposed
represent progress or a return to
earlier and rejected forms upon which
the Constitution made great advance
These questions are not to be settled
by wild denunciation of existing
wrongs, all durable by law under the
Constitution, If durable at all by gov
ernment action; still less can they be
settled by appeals to an unknown fu
ture. They must find their solution
through a knowledge of the past and a
cool judgment of the present"

Orders Issued by Troops.

Orders issued by officers in charge of
federal troops were to the effect that only
coal miners who had worked in the strike
districts before or during the strike
should be permitted to return to work
under federal supervision. Only men who
can show they have worked in the at
fected districts within the last few
months may enter the mines, and mines
which were closed cannot be reopened.
The consequence is that the Independent
mines must remain closed for lack of
miners.
It is charged that the result of this
condition is that the independents are at
the mercy of the dominant coal corpora
tons and must go under if they do not
get relief They will fall like ripe apples
into the basket of the rich coal and car
rier combinations that are able to stand
out to the end. These big companies, it
is charged, own coal mines in the nearby
states of New Mexico. Wyoming, Okla

into Colorado what coal is needed to
supply the demand there. What they
lose in one way they gain in another, 1t
is charged. ....
