MAYoR ra0M9soNs PLEDeE

While Chicago was undergoing the process of re- covery from the shock caused by Mayor ThOmpsons dry sunday order the United Societies for Local Self Gov ernment stepped forward with statement which the Mayor signed a, the request of the Society before cleo ton in which he soemniy declared that he opposed to closed Sunday and that he believed the State Sun day laws obsolete He also agreed to use all honorable means to promote the objects of the United Societies and quite naturally. the members Inclined to accuse Mayor Thompson Of having gone back on his word
 They may right about it though the wording of lhe pledge is slightly ambiguous but whether they are right or not 1t Is clear that the Mayor went long way to get che wet vote and that he got some of it by promising to disregard his oath of office when he got it He probably felt that he could not win if he did not sign He was clubbed into signing. just many another candidate has been and there is small wonder that cry went up in the Illinois Legislature last wn- ter for law which would peualize the solicitation of pledges from candidates.
 There is only one way in which campaign pledges ought to be made and that is openly and publicly to an the voters Men of real weight and substance act upon that principle but the Mayor Of Chicago lacked the size and so put himself a situation In which his campaign promises conflict with his oath of office He is the same Nayqor Thompson. by the way. who is seriously suggesting himself as possible candidate for President of the United States.

 How the late W. 8 Gilbert woald have chucSed had he lived to read of the dyed codfsh being sold for A- askan salmon. He would have added another coupet to that delightful little ballad beginning;
 Things are seldom what they seem
 Skim milk masQuerades cream
 1t is more cruel commercial Joke than wooden nut megs; for while such things are only fraud upon the pocket. h Is siomachc crime to feed a man on cod fish dipped in pyrogneous acid and then painted with @ tar dye known as zanzibar red.
 Cod is good eating In its own way, and may be paatable even after t has been given such chemical bath but not if the consumer has been made of the imposition and alarmed by such a term pyrog- neous acid The is sufficient to impair the digestion.
 But hehind the amusing fraud is the story of great and comparatively new industry mada possible only by the invention Of refr geratng machinery and improved methods Of transportation
 It is not SO many years since virtually all that the Eastern States knew of salmon was Che canned variety Only the rich could afford to buy that fish in fresh state for the supply very limited While the Western states were being charged 70 cents Now York pay. ing Sl per pound. Along came the retrgeratng pro. cess and the price went up in the Wus went way down in the East, Transportation had tended to an equalization of prices Then when lower rates had inc duced demand possibly beyond the supply up went the prices and along came colored codHh pyrgneous acid and zanzibar rec

PREPAREDNESS
fNew York Woridl

(New York World)
 That six companies submitted bids for che construc- tion Of sixteen submarines for the navy is evidence that the United States has reached state of prepared ness of which too little account is usually taken glimpse of what this country capable of doing In Of military necessity has been shown the whole world In Che past few months Without disturbance of the normal means of production for the home market in time of peace American manufacturers have suddenly been called upon to supply various begerents with immense stores of munitions of Other Industries have followed their regular course unimpeded by the heavy claims made capital and labor because of conditions in Europe while enterprises have sprung into being and old industries have expanded in response to the needs Of unexpected situation.
 If one lesson above all others has been made clear by the recent experience of Europe 1t is that prepared for demands primarily upon industrial organi. zator and efficiency Armies of size unknown in the past history of the world be created in responge to the calls Of patriotism. but nation with resources in materials limited whose command of labor and factories is inadequate hope except after dreary interval of waiting to filling the needs of ts fighting forces Without boastfnness the United States can say that u the last nine months it has learned much about its capacity for setdeense and that knowledge makes for national confidence

City team. Connie Collins. who man
aged the Mason City semi-pro team
last season; Bert Hough, manager OF
Clinton IN 1914, and RED WEIGH,
Clinton's third baseman, are said to
be seeking the position.
Collins had successful season last
year and has strong following at
Mason City, but some Of the men in
terested in the game believe that It
would be advisable to make change.
WEIGH is veteran player, having
played with Western league clubs for
several seasons. He was recommend
ed to the Mason City men by Ned
Egan. .....
Bert Hough held several confer
ences with the supporters OF the new
team yesterday, but no agreement
was reached. Hough has several
players on the string and unless they
are purchased by the Clinton club,
tho silent leader would have the
nucleus for club.
