RESPECTING OUR FLAG.

The American vessel Chemung 1t appears
from all the information available, carried
contraband of war; its torpedoing by a
German submarine was, therefore, Just1tl4
able as the sinking of the William B. Frye,
the Leeanlaw, and the Columbian, damages
for the destruction of which are to be
awarded by routine diplomatic action. The
Germans not only gave the crew ample
warning, but also towed them in their life
boats within five miles of shore, a fact which
should weigh heavily in every discussion
of Gerrnany's sincerity in keeping her sub
marine especially her acceptance
of the American dostrine laid down in the
Frye case, that merely placing the crew and
passengers in small boats in the open sea
was not sufficient.
The only interesting point IN connection
with the Chemung affair is the captains re-
fusal to haul down the stars and stripes
before the vessel was sunk. He thinks he
was vastly patriotic, but he was merely
silly.
Had he gone down with the ship, the
case would be different. The flag, proudly
flying to the last, after its defenders had
persisted, would have been a fitting tribute
to patriotism which never gives up. A flag
is more than bunting, and in our military
service an American flag is never destroyed;
when it is unfit for use, it Is laid away in a
great vault, even as the graves of soldiers
are honored after their death. The German
U-comnander who tried to have the flag
saved treated it with more respect than the
American captain.

THE NATIONAL PRIcE-sTRIKE.

Conditions are, of course, different down
south; life is easier and there is not the ter
rible suffering here that rising prices have
caused in northern states; nevertheless
local organizations and individuals would
be doing commemorate thing in joining
the national protest against exorbitantlv
priced articles of foodstuffs.
Butter is not worth fifty cents; eggs are
not worth forty cents, and turkeys are not
worth twenty-eight cents. They can be
done without; other articles of diet can be-
substituted, equally nourishing. equally
pa4atable, and considerably cheaper.
we pay those prices, we do it simply
because we want to-not because we have
to. twill be recalled how, two years ago,
the boycott of the National Housewives
League hammered the price of butter and
meat down. Already the effects of the pres
ent campaign have been felt. in Pittsburg.
70 the blacklist mentioned other articles
are to be added later on-potatoes, poultry
and all overnight products, and the move
ment IS becoming nationwide. The retail!
dealers themselves are joining it-thev are
as much the victims of the combine as the
general public; forbidden, according to re-
cent disclosures, from selling at reduced
protlts and required to raise the price to the
notch indicated by the SPECTATORS, under
penalty of not being supplied.
Naturally we don't expect to deny our
selves all the rest of our lives. and so we
look to the government for ultimate sol1-
ton. OF the many plans suggested the fol-
lowing appear the most feasible:
III Reduction of the period in which
feod can be kept in cold storage. EGGS can
now be held ten months and butter twelve.
Limit the storage period to three and four
months.

price fixing commission; the application to
the most important business of life-food-

convicted. One case, that against a
young man named Carney, was not
a conviction for the reason that it
was case of mistaken identity, but
the men were ready to prove beyond
a reasonable doubt that whiskey was
being sold and that they had sue
ceeded in buying liquor the night they
reported the case.
George Andrews, who was defend
ant yesterday, was not found guilty.
A case now on the docket against
William Camp is not the result of the
two city witnesses named, as they do
not appear in that prosecution. The
case will be called Saturday of this
week.
Commenting upon the arrest of
city witnesses yesterday, rone official
in the city hall expressed the opinion
that, if nothing would stop the illicit
sale of liquor in this city, that Judge
Sheppard of the United States court
would be asked to convene special
session of the federal grand jury
to look into the violations of the rev.
enue laws, which have been proven
in the city. 'I do not think those
engaged or interested in this sort of
law-breaking would dare to assault
or threaten United States deputies, -
was the opinion so expressed.
