it openly. He knows, from other things,
that he is under suspicion in Wilson cir
cles, and that they are bringing every
available influence to bear on his fol-
lowers to turn out on election day and
plump for the ticket And maybe he
is doing the same thing. Who knowsS
The suspicion against him is founded on
nothing he has said, but on the slight
that has been put upon him by the
President during the past three years.
The democrats want New York, and
know they cannot get it without, the
active aid of Tammany That Hughes
will come to the borders Of the big town
with big vote seems to be conceded.
The point is, therefore, for Tammany
to meet this with something bigger for
Wilson. If that is not done, Hughes
wins
If the republicans carry the state there
will probably be "drive" against the
Murphy leadership of Tammany. But
Mr.. Cookers age-he is nearing the

the "drive" will be in his personal be-
half. He is out of the game for good as
an active force.

"Uncle Nick"

The death of Nicholas E. Young in
this city removes one who few years
ago was national figure. "Uncle Nick"
had been identified with organized base
ball in an executive capacity for so long
that his name was familiar to hundreds
of thousands who probably never saw
him. For all of his prominence in this
sport. Mr.. Young was remarkably mod
est and self-effacing. He sincerely and
thoroughly believed in the national
game as a pastime and an entertain
ment, and his faithful work in its be-
half in the early days when it was
evolving into a great enterprise and
systematic annual sport was of infinite
value. "Uncle Nick" stood to the last
degree for honesty in the sport. He
believed that the game appealed to the
public chiefly through its cleanness and
the integrity of those engaged in it. His
name was a synonym for probity and
squareness, and too much credit can
not be given to him for the reforms
which were instituted long ago which
rescued base ball from the slough into
which it was falling Every lover Of
the game, every player and patron, owes
debt of gratitude to "Uncle Nick"
Young for what he did in the past for
a sport that has become permanent
national institution

The Milk Advance.

1t is ordained that the people of Wash
ington must pay more for their milk.
They have had no opportunity to pro-
test or to demand a showing of causes
leading to this advance. The Stars sug-
gestion of a commission of inquiry
| named by the District Commissioners
to ascertain the exact causes of the
wholesale and retail advance has re-
manned unheeded. Consequently the in
crease has been deereed by the pro-
ducers and accepted by the retailers,
and the consumer pays the bill.
This may be a righteous advance. 1t
is possible that the cost of grain and
feed has increased at the farms, and the
price of labor as well, and that this
| increase has made it necessary for the
dairymen to ask more for their product
in order to make a reasonable profit.
Conceivably, too, the increased whole
sale price has made it necessary for the
retailers to charge more for milk than
before in order themselves to make a
reasonable profit. And in these circum
stances there is nothing else to do but
to put the final advance on the con-
sumner. He cannot expect to get his milk
at price which represents loss to
either wholesaler or distributor
But the consumer today has not been
shown these facts. He has been told
broadly that it costs more to produce
milk, and, therefore, more to distribute
it, and that hence he must pay the shot.
He has no appeal. He can buy milk at
the price demanded or go without it.
/ Inasmuch as he must have milk he will
pay the difference But this is not
economic justice. In the absence of a
full explanation it is an arbitrary exac-
ton which might easily be made to ap
pear reasonable, if there is reason in it.
There is apparently no remedy for
The situation. The Department Of JUS
tiee might upon inquiry find that the
price fixing is result of combination.
| Thus far, though, no indication is given
that such an inquiry will be made.
Every member of the economic equation
appears to have freedom of organiza-
ton and to exercise united of action
save the consumer.

Schoolboys and Holiday Mails.

Postmaster Chance has made prac-
teal move. toward expediting Christ
mas package mailing by offering
to the writers of the best fifteen essays
on holiday mail congestion submitted in
the higher grades in the public schools
positions in the city post Office during
the Christmas rush. These are prizes Of
value to the schoolboys, and they will
be competed for doubtless with great
earnestness. With hundreds Of boys
working on the subject Of early Christ
mas mailing the subject will be made
familiar in many homes in Washington.
It cannot fail to have an effect upon
the grown-ups in the spread of keener
appreciation of the necessity of both
early shopping and early mailing. In
asmuch as the extra services will be
needed anyhow at the city post office
the offering of these prize positions en-
tails no additional expense. The work
will be done during the school holidays,
and the boys who win the places will
not lose time from their studies. It is
altogether an admirable arrangement,
and should result in a material relief
from the ordinary Christmas mail rush.

We are piling up the dollars Of the
world in vast array.

fast our way.
Yet the ultimate consumer has his trou-
bles far from small;
His food comes C. o. D., or else it doesn't

High Food Prices and Charity.

Obviously if the prices of foods con
tinue to rise the charity problem in
Washington during the coming winter
will be grave one. Already the ad
vances in food costs are being felt by
those in comfortable circumstances. The
family grocery bill is heavier now than
it has been for many years, and even
people with assured salaries cannot fail
to feel the pinch. But what of those
who depend upon casual jobs for liv-
ing9 Their income is at best small, and
it is precarious There are many hun
dreds of such in Washington, and if
they sre to have decent, wholesome food
some of them must have help, for they
cannot possibly pay the prices demanded
in the markets. This means that the
charity relief organizations must come
to their assistance, and SO, as was
brought out yesterday at meeting Of

Money in the Campaign.

Mr. Morgenthau, charged with the
duty of filling the demoeracys strong
box, and a very competent man for the
job. says in reply to statement that
the republicans have the more money
for campaign purposes:
1T is nothing to be either ashamed or
proud Of We have enough money to
pay the debts we have contracted, but
we have neither the sources nor the
desire to shovel in vast sums in illegiti-
mate campaigning. This election can
not be bought. We are not in the mar
ket, anyhow, on that basis. The truth
of the matter is that we have turned
down so many wild schemes proposed
by so many persons wanting money that
they, having gone out disgruntled and
crying that the democrats are broke,
have created the wrong impression. We
received a number of unsolicited and
substantial contributions today. We get
them every day And our campaign be-
ing upon square, business efficiency
, basis. we have enough to pay our debts.
, though little more"
Here is confederation of story which
has been in circulation since the be-
ginning of the campaign. This is that
popular belief associated a large cam
paign fund with both of the two lead
ing parties, and that the managers of
both were being pressed to put up hand
somely for canvassing purposes. AS Mr..
Morgenthau confesses that the demo-
cratic managers have been approached
in the interests of "many wild schemes"
it is safe assumption that the repub-
lican managers have had like expert
enee. A sugar barrel attracts. And
probably the republican managers have
/. turned down as "many wild schemes as
their opponents.
1t is likewise safe assumption that
both parties have adopted many attrac-
five and persuasive "schemes" for get
ting their respective cases before the
country. and that both have had abun-
dant money for the purpose. As to
which has had the more is but guess.
Neither has taken or will take, the pub
lie in:o its confidence on the subject.
Money in the country is heaped higher
than ever before; and democrats as we'll
as republicans are flush. Passing the
hat has probably never before been an
easier or more agreeable performance.
Mr.. Morgenthau says: "This election
3 cannot be bought" So say we all. There
is no more absurd cackle than that so
often heard in campaign years as cam
paign closes about Vaccinations for
controlling the ballot boxes by means
Of corruption funds. Now one party Is
under charges. and now the other. The
!. republican party was the target in 1896,
and the democratic party in 1904. Wall
street always figures as the head devil
in the alleged conspiracy. Mckinley
was tagged in his first campaign, and
Judge Parker later, as Wall streets pet.
The former won, the latter lost; but the
victory was not justly associable with
Wall street money, nor the defeat with
Wall street unpopularity. Mr. Mckin-
ley won on his merits. and Judge Parker
lost to the stronger man

Croker to the Rescue.

Richard Croker, from his estate in
Ireland, declares for Wilson, On the is
sue that "he has kept us out of war"
Mr.. Croker has seen nothing of the war
himself. The great conflict has not in
terrupted the racing in Ireland; and, as
a prominent patron of the turf, he has
been gathering in liberal share of win
nings. But, being close by, he has heard
the roar of the big guns, so to say, and
hence the war issue looms larger in his
eyes than the tariff or the eight hour
law, either one of which were he in his
old New York haunts might engage his
attention.
The democratic managers have prob
ably introduced Mr. Croker at this time
for effect on Tammany Hail. They are
trying to get out of the organization
all of voting strength there may be in
it. At one time the old chiefs prestige
was very great.
But that was some years ago; and the
fight Of the years has told against the
members Of the old Croker clique Some
have died. Some, like Mr.. Croker, have
retired from active politics. The great
majority Of the Tammany workers of
today know Richard only as tradi-
ton. Many have never seen his face
except in illustrated publications. SO
that this deliverance from Dublin may
not produce the effect desired.
Whether Mr.. Murphy will like it is a
question. He is certain not to resent

the board Of managers Of the Citizens

season to the charity funds regardless
of the state Of the weather. The present
high prices are in no wise related to
the climate, and even though Washing

it will have to give literally for the
succor of the poor to prevent great dis
trees. Washington always responds to
these appeals, and it is not to be ques-
toned when the time comes for giving
