WHOLESALE PRICES IN 1914

According to Bulletin ISL of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
United States Department of Labor,
wholesale prices in the United States,
as measured by the aggregate value
in exchange of $40 representative
commodities, were nearly one per
centlower in 1914 than in 1913. In
each of four groups, viz, cloths and
clothing, fuel and lighting, metals
and metal products, and lumber and
building materials, more than half Of
the commodities decreased in price
from 1913 to 1914. Increases in price
are shown for cotton blankets, boots
and shoes, leather, 104 bleached
sheeting, quicksilver linseed oil, tur-
pentine and a few other articles in
the four groups named.
A majority of the articles which in
creased in price between 1913 and
1914 belong to the farm products and
food groups. Within these two

quotations, 70 commodities or grades
of commodities increased in price,
A decreased, and were unchanged
The articles showing the greatest in
crease were corn, oats, rye, wheat,
flaxseed, New York State hops, calf
skins, peanuts, tobacco, canned corn
rye flour, wheat flour, fresh and evap-
GRATED apples, prunes, raisins, corn
meal, sugar, cabbage, onions, pota-
toes, and vinegar. Some of the ar
ticles in these two groups which de-
creased in price were cotton, butter,
canned tomatoes, coffee, lemons and
oranges.
In the food group prices were low
est in March, April and May, increas-
ing to their maximum in September,
while in the metals and metal pro
ducts group, and also in that of fuel
and lighting, prices were highest in
the first three months of the year and
lowest in the last three.

MOTHERS ovERWoRKED;
BABIES DIE
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY A MYTH

mo one knows how many fathers
or how many mothers there are in
the United States, No one knows
how many mothers are at work for
gain outside their homes The Chill
dren's Bureau of the U. S. Depart
ment of Labor brings out this fact in
its third annual report made public
recently, and says that it is impos
sible to determine the relative i'm
portance of the high death rate
among babies of working mothers I'M
til we know how many mothers there
are at work in industry.
The Children's Bureau is conduct
ing detailed inquiry into the social
and economic causes of babies
deaths. The present report shows
that the two items of the inquiry COM
pleted during the past year reveal
an average infant death rate of 1874
out of every 1000 babies in steel
making and coal-mining town as
against a rate of "a out of every 1000
in a residential suburb. An even
greater contrast is found between the
most congested section and the choic-
est residential section in each of these
two communities.
Commenting upon these findings
the report says: "The more favorable
the civic and family surroundings and
the better the general conditions of
life the more clearly are they reflect
ed in a lessened infant mortality"
The report shows, however, that no
deductions can be made about the
relation between the general infant
mortality rate and industrial employ
ment of women until the facts about
the number and proportion of moth
ers at work contained in the unpub-
lished census returns are made avail
able by tabulation.

GUST B. N. JOHNSTON FROM
SOCIALISTS
Action in Running Independent for
Mayor Against Party Constitution

CASHMERE, Wash. For violation
of the tenets and rules of the Social
list party, b. N. Johnston has been
ousted from that organization, the
Cashmere local taking official action
last Thursday night The particular
charge against Mr.. Johnston, who was
a member of the local, was that he
failed to secure the approval and sane
ton of the party in making his an
nouncement and campaign in the re-
cent mayoralty election and decided
to run independently, and that in fail
ing to do so he committed a breach
against the we'll defined and estab-
lished principles Of the party. Mr..
Johnston was given a fair and impair
tial trial, and while the action taken
was distasteful to his former parti-
sans, it was performed with the sense
of a conscientious duty discharged
and without the injection of any I'M
pleasant personalities. - Wenatchee

OUR DAILY BREAD

The nation needs bread. Some are
starving for it all the while. Yet
what is simpler than the furnishing
of bread? We know how to grow
wheat With the scientific knowl-
edge that the government could de-
vote to wheat growing, combined with
the improved machinery that rich
government could bring to bear. upon
the problem, the wheat production of
the country could easily be multiplied
by four Little Holland and little
Belgium, with no better soil than our
own, raise almost four times as much
wheat to the acre as we do.
And, with wheat once grown, moth,
ing is more simple than to make it in
to flour Probably we already have
enough milling machinery to make all
the flour we need. If not, we could
easily build four times as many mills,
more mills until we had no unem-
ployed men to set to work. And, if
we had no unemployed men to set to
work, we should have, for the first
time in the history of the world, a
completely happy nation.
Let the nation own the trusts. Let
it build the mills, operate the rail
roads, own the markets and put the
unemployed to work, and all could be
fed.
Thus Socialism would at least give
us all our daily bread.

WHY BE VINDICTIVE?

Should not then this robber, or

Epictetus, the Stole "By no means, u
he answers; "but take it rather this
way: This man who errs and is de-
ceived concerning things of greatest
moment, who is blinded, not in the
vision which distinguished black and
white, but in the judgment which dis
tinguisheth Good and Evil-should
we not destroy him? And thus speak
ing you should know how inhuman is
that which you say, and how like as
if you said, shall we not destroy this
blind man, this deaf man? For if it
is the greatest injury to be deprived
of the greater things, and the great
est thing in man is a will such as
he ought to have, and one be deprived
of this, why are you still indignant
at him? Man, you should not be
moved contrary to Nature by the evil
deeds of other men. Pity him, rather,
be not inclined to offence and hatred,
