THE TAFT-RoosEvELT MEETING

All accounts agree that the meet
ing of our two living ex-Presidents
at the Union League Club in New
York last evening was a distinctly
formal affair. Each addressed to
the other that namely formal in
quiry that Americans might well dis

of some of the more meaningful
salutations that other people use:
"How do you dot" It is not
vouchsafed that Prof. Taft replied
with any specifications as to how he
did, and the Colonel was equally
reticent concerning the details of his
conduct. Anyhow, it wasn't neces-
sary that they devote much time to
,recounting their adventures since
they last met; they have been privi-
legged to keep reasonably accurate
tabs on each others activities
thanks to public press that dill

DECKS CLEARFOR THE WORLDS
SERIES

The final victory of the Brooklyn
club in the greatest pennant race
the National League has ever
known, clears the deck for the an
nual struggle for the worlds cham
pionship.
1t is unfortunate for the Brooklyn
club that charges and counter
charges are being hurled about, i'm
pugning the honesty of the winners
triumph. It is unfortunate for the
National League and for baseball,
the game of games in this country.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that all
these charges are but emanations
from overtaxed athletes, who have
fought the fight to the bitter end
and hate to admit defeat. Those
who love baseball trust that no foun-
dation exists for any charges against
the honesty of game, players, or
officials.

day, provides the climax Of the sea-

TELEPHONE SERVICE DE Luxe
AND AID LIB.

A hotel corporation just erecting
q hostelry in New York has just
closed contract to place in the es-
tablishment a, telephone system that
will require fifty operators, will
number 200 trunk lines, and will
have 2,400 private stations. 1t is
said to be the largest contract ever
made for telephone service under a
single roof.
The exchange will embrace, in
number Of instruments, as large a
system, it is said, as that Of the en-

Still, there will continue to be
more concern about Greece's attitude
toward the war than about that Of

lessor and the Colonel didn't care
much for each other. The inception
Of this mutual distaste, which Is the
more impressive because Of rs con-
trast with q former intimacy that
amounted to chumminess, is a mat
ter Of knowledge so common as not
to require the production Of afr
davits.
Altogether the significant fact
about this meeting Is that it demon
strates the willingness Of these two
men to agree on general course
of conduct in the interest of their
country. Neither is impressed deeply
with the others qualifications for
the Presidency of this country. Each
has a sympathetic following in, this
feeling. But the twain are able to
agree that the Democratic party
ought not to be continued in control
of the country; that the Republican
party and its policies should be sub
stituted; that Wilson is not the man
who should be President for the next
four years, and that Hughes is.
This is highly important meet
ing Of minds sometime divergent;
a meeting that would hardly have
been possible il both had not been
profoundly convinced. Their convic-
ton, it is worth while to add,
parallels that Of their respective fol-
lowing and Of the nation. It will be
made the basis of important national
action a little more than month
hence.

SUBMARINES IN THE ARCTIC

The appearance Of German SUBJ
marines in the Arctic Ocean cannot
be regarded lightly. It represents,
of course, an effort to prevent the
introduction Of munitions Of war and
other supplies into Russia by way of
Archangel and other ports on the
White Sea, which opens upon the
Arctic. -
Russia is tremendously big, with
very little outlook on the world.
Generally speaking, with the Darda-
nelles still closed and likely to re-
main so, munitions must come, and
exports must go out, by way Of the
Archangel base or else over the long
trans-Siberian railway to Vladi-
vostok or through Manchuria. The
closing Of Archangel would be very
real calamity to Russia, and to her
allies as well.
1t is declared by travellers who
have been in Russia that Archangel
has been made into one Of the great
est ports the world has ever known.
Formerly it was closed to commerce
several months by ice. Ice breakers
have been introduced and passages
opened so that a considerable share
Of traffic may move regardless of
season. Vessels by the thousands
enter and leave the port. The vol
'ume of its tonnage is such that the
effort to turn it over to the Siberian
road, already swamped by its huge
business, would be ridiculous.
That submarines can operate in
the cold waters Of the Arctic is not
SO preposterous as might seem. The
sailors on the Deutschland described
the terrific heat inside their craft as
one Of the greatest discomforts Of
the voyage. In the Arctic, air would
not be any better, but temperature
would be far more bearable.
The long voyage around Scandi-
navia, far from accessible bases for
supplies, must make it difficult to
operate submarines above Cape
North. But 1t would not seem to
require many Of the underwater
craft to patrol the northern route
effectively, for the turn around the
northern point of Europe must be
made, most of the year, within a
rather narrow zone, in order to avoid
ice.
Russia is still the uncertain factor
in the war. Richest Of all in human
resources, she is weakest in indus
trial, commercial, and financial. She
must be supplied from outside with
an almost inconceivable amount of
material, If her potential soldiers
shall be equipped and turned into
real, effective ones. Archangel
might yet prove as important in
this war as Constantinople. To shut
up. Russia at both the north and
south would, before many months,
well-nigh cut her off from the world,
But the same conditions that favor
submarine operations in the Far
Northern waters, also favor the al
lied navies in their efforts to cap
ture or destroy the invisible mon.
sters. Nets, patrols, and the like
would be effective just as they are
around the British islands; probably
more SO, because this Archangel
traffic must be funneled through a
pretty narrow lane. It looks as II
a new phase in the utilization of
submarines had been brought into
view.

THE MARKETS AND THE COST
OF LIVING

The women, according to the OBJ
servations Of Baltimore news
paper, have been getting agitated
about the increasing cost Of living,
and more and more of them are
going out to do their own market
ing. A business man Of that town
who has been noting this tendency
explained that women read about
and observe in their monthly bills
the evidence Of advancing costs, and
the individual woman gets con-
cerned, whether the matter is Of i'm
mediate monetary concern to her or
not. She reads stories of how women
by careful buying and management
have effected great savings. Then
"She becomes at once fired with
the desire to try her own hand at
the game, and forthwith puts on her
bonnet and sallies forth in person.
She makes a game of her house, and
falls in love with it."
Why shouldn't she? It is the
great game of business, in which the
activities and interests of almost all
the men in the world are chiefly and
primarily absorbed. Women ought
to be the best business persons, be-
cause they are the chief spenders.
Almost anybody can earn money
some money. The one who gets on
in the world is the one who knows
the art Of spending in the right
way, which is full sister 10 the art
Of saving. Women are the house.
hold spenders, which means the
spenders of most Of the worlds in
come. They have never been we'll
trained in their business, albeit they
average to be probably better, saner
spenders than the men.
But women labor under the disad-
vantage of having had little train
ing in this spending business. Men
have been from the beginnings the
producers. Women never had much
spending to do until very recent
time; most of the producing was
done directly, in the days when each
homestead did its own knitting,
weaving, sewing, meat-packing, and
the like. Only in recent decades has
the system changed and the woman
Of the household become a buyer in
stead Of a producer. She has not
surrounded herself with fund Of
traditions, as has the man in his
capacity of producer.
The example Of women who go to
market and do their own buying,
saving as much as possible whether
they really need to do SO or not, is a
most useful one. The cost of living
would not be so onerous if the house.
hold were systematically and care
fully supplied. The advantage of
buying in quantities would be i'm
pressed on women; and when once
they realized what that meant, there
would be an irresistible demand for
styles in town architecture that
would permit storage of larger
quantities. The women will do more
than the lawmakers villa thousand
times more-to cope with the read
justment of society to the conditions
of this high-price era, if only they
will set about it. Women in Wash
ington, as in Baltimore, have been
doing it; doubtless in other parts of
the country they are, too; but the
cities and towns are far behind the
demands and needs of the times in
supplying the right kind of market
ing facilities.
