ments in President Wilson's Cincin-

Mr.. Hughes told an audience here
that the administrations views re-
minded him of its views on prepared
ness In December, 1914, which were
! afterwards changed; that he consid-
cred the anti-dumping provision of
the revenue bill, intended to meet the
situation as "farcial'' and "worse
than useless" to protect American
workmen; and that even if the per-
centage of exports of commodities to
supply armies was small, it required
but very little ''to counteract or de-
| stroy the prosperity of the country"
1T was said in December, 1914"
Mr.. Hughes asserted, "that America
was ready; that any suggestion to the
contrary was thoughtless. But in
truth, America was far from ready.
It is now said with reference to the
commercial rivalry that America is
ready. think, in truth, that Amer
lea is far from ready and that we
shall not be ready until we have a
clearer notion of what we may ex-
pect.'' F..

The Living Cost Scars.

George w. Perkins, chairman of Mayor
Mitchers New York Food Supply Commission,
does not agree with President Wilson that the
present high cost of living is due to the fact that
farmers are not producing larger crops and that
the way to reduce the living cost is to increase
farm products. Mr.. Perkins has written letter
to Gov. Whitman in which he says:
"The fundamental trouble is that we have not
at Washington or Albany or New York City, or
anywhere else, the right kind of market depart
ments, whose business it is to study the question
of food supply, food distribution and food con-
sumption in intelligent, businesslike manner,
and bring about such reforms in the methods of
food distribution as would bring about beneficial
results to both producer and consumer"
Mr.: Perkins adds that he has given this mat
ter great deal of study and sincerely believes
there is question that demands more immedi-
ate and intelligent attention" 1t is to be regret
ted that Mr.. Perkins neglected to explain in de-
tail just what he means by the right kind of
market departments" He evidently believes that
a market department for city could solve the
high cost of living problem for that city or that
a Federal market department could solve the prob
lem for the nation.
But suggestions for solving the living cost
problem will receive little attention until that
time when the causes of the soaring prices are
~ ",
it that the duty of ascertaining these
falls to Congress. If Congress at the session
which begins in December should appoint a COM
mittee to direct a comprehensive investigation of
the causes of the ever-increasng living cost that
committee probably would be in a position to
recommend ways and means of eliminating some
of these causes before Congress adjourns in
March.
1t is not to be expected that Congress can re-
duce the living cost. 1t may be impossible even
for Congress to prevent the cost from rising. But
intelligent action by national legislators is
almost certain to prevent the cost of living from
increasing at its present high speed.
There is question more important to the
poor man or the man in moderate circumstances
today than the cost of living. Probably the only
reason that the question did not figure as an issue
of paramount importance in the Presidential cam
paign was that the nation was enjoying a period
OF unprecedented prosperity But even though the
problem did not attract much of the attention of
CAMPAIGN orators it IS holding the attention of the

What this country demands more than the
doing away with the electoral college is the doing
away with the glaring inequalities growing out Of
the making of election laws by the States. If
abolshing the electoral college, it also should
provide Congress with full power to enact a ma
tional election law and to see that its provisions
it would not be possible for women voters in a
few States to decide Presidential contest at a
time when women in other States and of other
views are denied the voting privilege. 1t would
bring an end to the present scandal of men in
few States being permitted to vote before they
have BECOME citizens of this republic. It would
prevent the possibility of depriving solder-cit-
zens OF their votes by sending them out of their
respective States to perform national duty-New

The defeat lof Mr. Hughes settles one matter

any temporary policies of politics, than the for
keep the Supreme Court out Of politics. 1t means
that the justices of the Supreme Court are to re-
gard themselves as incapable of political ambitions.
They are to be judges and nothing else. The in
trigues OF politics, the clamor of conventions, are
to disturb no member of that great court in his
Interpretation of the Constitution and the laws.

to bend the law to the popular emotion Of the
