Low COST OF Living
WILL-O-
Has Led American Voters Into
Midst Of Swamp, Where They
Are Floundering Hopelessly.

+. There is nothing very cheering in
the assurance given by local meat
dealers that the price of this COM
modify is tending upward and may
soon get beyond the point where sir
loin steak will be within the reach
of only the ich or those whose cred
it is as good as gold.
Sirloin is now 80 cents pound
in the Trenton market. and will
probably go to so cents, which is
a trihe more than three cents an
ounce.
Dog meat, which few years ago
was given away, is about the best
butchers production that the av-
erage wage Garner can now af-
ford. -,
The new Tariff, which 1t was
promised, would smash the Meat
Trust into smithereens, because it
would bring Argentina beef into
this country, has not brought the re-
suit pledged for it,
Argentina beef comes to the Unit
ed States in large quantities, but it is
promptly gobbled up by the beef
barons, and the consumer is unable
to buy it at less than the price of the
native article.
The lower cost of living will-o'-
the-wisp that charmed the voters in
the United States in 1912 led them
into the midst of a swamp, where
they are now floundering helpless
and almost hopeless.
The President and members of
Congress who were elected upon
the issue of reduced cost of liv-
ing seem to have forgotten their pre-
election pledge. They are doing
nothing that is calculated to improve
the living condition Of the people
of this country who are now suf-
fering from high prices and hard
times.

the Belgian Qualifications.

the Belgian Notifications.
In view Of these recent events one
is inclined to 60 behind the present
and inquire as to what Belgium has
been doing in the past, remote and
immediate. Belgium has been very
very busy and for long time. She
has led double life, in that she has
accomplished great things in the
gentle arts, while adding to her
knowledge of the business of war
fare. II would be difficult to name
country as small so rich in his
tory or so affluent in art. Her sons,
industrious, patriotic and gifted,
have told their country's story in
print and by pen, on canvas, in
mural decorations, in sculpture, in
monuments and beautiful edifices,
and at the same time have devoted
skill and labor to the manufacture
and maintenance of geat instru
ments of destruction, which, if good
ed upon their products of peace.

tegrty against the enemy, no mat

GUM began to study as early as
81 Il. c., or nearly 1000 years ago.
In view of their long schooling, one
could expect much at Liege..
Even 1000 years ago Belgians
made so strenuous a defense TO the
invader no lesser a parsonage than
the great Caesar, that they caused
his famous Twelfth Legion to waver,
and but for his personal courage and
leadership they would have won the
day. Such was the Romans admira-
ton that he granted the conquered
country the potection of Rome, the
status of free people, exemption
from taxation, and the name. style
and title of allies instead of subjects.
So great an achievement was this
conquest regarded in Rome that the
sacrificial fires of thanksgiving to
gods were burned for fifteen days.
When the Roman entered the ter
ritory that now comprises the mod
ern Belgium, he found that the
Nervii, or confederated Belgic tribes,
had formed leagues for mutual de-
feense, and that they could put on
a war footing the enormous army of
100000 warriors out of total pop
ulation of about a million.
The first conflict was between 50,-
900 disciplined and steel-and-brass-
clad soldiers from Rome and $4,000
of the Belgic tribes. They surprised
the Romans before Caesar could get
from his tent. The Roman cavalry
was being overwhelmed when their
leader strengthened the wavering
lines and the "brave Belgae" found
they were hurting themselves against
wall of steel and brass. For hours
they vainly attempted to break it,
and only 500 were left. Such was
Belgian valor then.
1t may be truly said that the Bel
CLANS in every age-whether saw
ages, Franks. medieval Brabanters,
Limburgers. or the modern Flemings
or WallOons-have grappled with the
invader, have driven off he invader,
or suffered under him when valor
was no match for numbers.
The liberty-loving American is
caused to wonder, in the face of the
history of this people, what would
be their status today had they de-
voted some of their warlike energy
to obtaining the overthrow of their
despotic form of government. and
saying. to the world that they would
no longer subscribe to that most
asinine fallacy, the "divine right of
kings"

the former Flemish, the latter
walloon. Everyone who has read the
dispatches from the Belgian center
of the war during the past few days
has noticed the frequency of the use
of the name of Mouse, the Walloon
form OF the name of the country's
chief river.
AS indicated. the topography of
the country also is dual in nature.
To illustrate, one may call attention
to the fact that the ranges Of noun
tains of Central Europe, which re-
emerge in the British Isles, have
their. lower curves and upper strata
in Belgium, thus making the billy
country Of the Ardennes on the east,
the great flat heaths of the Cam
pine moOrland i'm the central por-
ton, and the sandy low country on
the north, which is diked in from the
sea.
Factory and Garden.
A one observer has aptly said,
1.-The south or WalloOn country is a
factory; the northern or Flemish
part is a garden" Brabant, in which
is Brussels, the capital, is a link be-
tween the two, both in languages
and industries. In Hainault, known
as the BLACK country" thousands
of miners live and labor. A recent
report from Liege. it will be recalled,
said the factories and the mines con-
tinued in operation during the siege
of the surrounding forts.
Throughout all ages of calm or
storm, despite despot and dema-
gogue, social unity has been pre-
served in this little European king
dom, noted for art and industry and
as the battle-ground of the cDnt,-
nent. Certain factors have ever work
ed for social nationality. The Flem-
ings, of German decent, being at
the west, close neighbors of France,
were tied by many interests to the
French; while the Walloons,' of
about the same blood and speech as
the Gauls and French, were set in
the east nearer Germany. Singularly
enough, this curious arrangement
has given more of virility to the
forces Of attraction than those of re-
pulsion, and today a united country,
composed of the descendants of the
Germans. French and Gauls. resist
the invasion of the Germans, be-
cause of national desire for neu-
trality, and are aided by the French.
At the beginning of the titantic
European war, now but a-few days
old, correspondents at the centers
of population of the Old World
flashed to America their opinion
that Belgium Was destined again,
perhaps, to be the battle-ground OF
Europe. and they, or commentators,
alluded to the frightful carnage in
that land to determine the destinies
of nations in recent decades and cen
turtles.
The correspondents have also told
of the stubborn resistance of the Bel
gians at Liege against superior fore
es. of the defiance of the mighty
army OF Germany by the troops Of a
kingdom greatly inferior in size. and
of the remarkable "holding-out" OF

NEW ORLEANS, March 5.-The
weather map shows fair and continued
cold, with frost temperatures to the
coast line. Cloudy in the rest of the
belt, with general rains east of the riv-
err. Indications are for continued rainy

another cold wave in Texas. New crop
matters are being delayed in the early
sections Liverpool furnished a pleas
ant surprise being about 3 points better
than due on futures and points higher
on spot, with very large sales-15,0 900

The strength in the English market
is principally due to the following three
facts-goOd business in Manchester, re-
sistance by spots in the South 10 the
decline in the contract markets and con-
tiuued cold and bad weather, which de-
lays crop matters in the early sections.
There are more signs Of q drop in re-
ceipts. Houston to-day has 1882 bales,
against 5.497 last year: Savannah 1874
against 1888 last year. and Galveston
1881. against lO,961 last year.

Joe Bean, athletic director at the

big minor leagues, was selected
Thursday afternoon to direct the des-
TIMES of the University of Georgia

ALEX Cunningham, who is in charge
of all athletics at Georgia, has de-
cided that on account of the one-year
rule he must devote all his time to the
football candidates. So he recon-
mended Bean as baseball coach.
Bean will report for duty next Mon
day and will start work at once. Cum
ningham, with Assistant Coach Pea

spring training of the football men
and will have no further official rela-
lions with the baseball team.

this year Joe knows baseball from
soup to nuts. During his regime in
New York and later in the old East
era League he was considered one of
the best "insidet" ball players that
ever wore a glove.
Bean has some promising material
and is confident that he will turn out
a winner.
