PRICE OF BREAD.

Western bakers have raised the
hue and cry about the price Of wheat,
saying If 1t continues to rise there
Will be no more ive-cent bread. 1t
Is true that the increase has redoD.-
ed the profit, but not to such an ex-
tent that higher price must be paid
TO satisfy those who have the mar
ket in charge.
The bakers fail to realize that the
price of wheat until recently was ex-
tremely low, and that their porfits
were unusually large. But during
that period no efforts were made to
reduce the price. The same price
prevailed for bread when wheat sold
TOR 20 cents bushel as it did when
dollar wheat ruled the market. If
the bakers had regulated the price
or bread by the price paid for wheat
they might have good grounds for
their increase at this time. A little
consistency would not be out Of or.

DUE PROCESS OF LAW In FRANK CASE.
Through the action of Justice Lamar,

ted States Supreme Court for review.
This is as it should be,
The Constitution provides that no cit
iZen of the United States shall be do
prived Of life, liberty or property with.
out due process of law. Leo M. Frank
may be guilty Of murder. but it is more
than doubtful whether there was due
process of law in finding him guilty.
Where the defendant in a murder trial
liz excluded from court because of
| threats OF mob violence when the Jury
returnt it's veIdiCt, that ia moro the due
process Of ly nch law than the due pro-
cess of statute laws.
1t was within the power of the COVER
nor of Georgia to prevent the execution
of Frank, but this would have been no
solution of the case If Frank is guilty
Of the crime charged against him he
ought to be hanged If he. is. innocent
he should not owe his life or, his free
dom to the clemency of governor. The
main question Of law involved in this

INSURANCE SICKNESS.

After making a study Of methods
employed in Europe. the United
States Public Health Service has
worked out what it believes to be q
PRACTICAL basis upon which to found
q plan OF sickness insurance. Briefly
summarized, it Is held that the insur-
ance fund should be supplied Jointly
by the e1npjoye, toe employer and the
state or community, the division sug.
geeted being: Insured persons, so to
- 2-3 per cent; employers, % 1-3 per
cont; community, 10 per cent. 1t must
be operated on strictly mutual basis,
with the smallest possible expense
Tor administration.
1t must be compulsory, especially for
those with small incomes; cash bene.
nts not to exceed two-thirds Of WAGES
earned for period of not more than
rs weeks In one calendar year; inval-
htty benefits, elastic in character: a
small death benefit to meet ordinary
burial expenses and other immediate
necessities; medical benefits.
Whether this or some other form
shall ultimately prove best, the fact
remains that there LIS a great and con-
stantly growing necessity for sick.
ness insurance, and there is little
doubt that the time IS close at hand
when real effort will be made to
solve THU industrial problem.

at the cost Of teachers and parents
so that even the well-to-do commend

provides better food than the street
Vender. In most places the foods are
chosen by persons trained in the field

1t includes soups, salads, sandwiches,
