WAR PRICES.
(By Cedar Rapids, Ia, Gazette

(By Cedar Rapids, Ia. Gazette)
When you pay thirty-six cents a
dozen for eggs you have to take the
markets word that the war has boost
ed the price.
When you pay two dollars or more
for bushel of potatoes the same ex-
cuse. aided and abetted by poor sea-
son, confronts you.
When you pay two dollars and a
half for sack Of flour that cost one
dollar anu half year ago you are
made to understand that the war has
done it,
And so on down the line OF abso-
lutte necessities. Prices are stagger-
ing. outrageous. They cannot go
much higher without causing an
economic uproar that will be heard
from one end Of the land to the
other. In part they are due to the
demands from Eupore. In part they
are due to the graft with which the
American business world Is honey
combed. In part they are due to the
American business which is to
get rich as quickly as you can. in
any way that you can and at any
body's expense but your own.
When anyone attempts to tell you
that graft plays no part in tho proo-
ent scale of exorbitant prices on food
stuffs you may reply by telling them
that:
Eggs can be bought cheaper within
eight miles Of the city Of Verdun,
France, and in the heart Of the war
zone, than they can be bought right
here in Cedar Rapids.
Butter. packed in small tins by
French manufacturers and sent in
to the war zone for sale. can be
bought at more reasonable figure
than we pay here in Cedar Rapids.
Flour can be purchased as cheaply
in France as in Iowa.
Sugar, when it can be bought at all
in the French war zone, is bought at
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1916-11-03

a figure which does not exceed the
figures in Cedar Rapids.
Two months ago, when the editor
Of the Gazette left Verdun, eggs
could be bought by Americans there,
two for five sous-five cents. Half
pound tins Of butter could be bought
at the "epiceries" for one franc
seventeen cents. Because the Amer
leans were supposed to be loaded
down with money the housewives
who sold the eggs generally boosted
their prices when brown-clad am
bulance driver sought to purchase.
And, remember, the inflated price
was the French equivalent Of thirty
cents dozen.
What's the answer?
In war-torn France. where food
stuffs are at real premium, where
the demand is not faxed, where the
people have some degree Of protection
by reason Of a militarized govern
ment-in France, within actual sound
Of battle, food, without which we
face disaster, can be bought more
cheaply than in peaceful Iowa.
An embargo on wheat, flour. SUI
gar. potatoes. etc. would be in error.
But that is not necessary. What we
do need is not protection against 4
foreign demand. it's protection
against money-grabbing Americans.
Washington has made a great blus-
ter about lambasting the trusts. Ap-
parently there are some things worse
than trusts. The problem is big
one for the politicians, but it's a big
ger one for the man whose non-elas-
tic income must be made to go far
Their than it has ever gone before.

ON THE LAST LAP.

AS the candidates for president en-
ter upon the last lap of the race tho
issue that stands out over everything
else Is the issue of character. Mr..
Hughes has the advantage of trust
worthiness. There Is arrayed
against him no long line of Witness
er labeled I've used to be his friends
but we found we could not depend
upon what he says" There is star
ing him in the face no long list of
broken promises, promises upon
which he was elected, promises whose
fulfillment the people expected when
they voted for him. What Mr..
Hughes promised as candidate for
governor Of New York he performed
as governor. You can tell what he
will do by What he has done. His
deeds square with his words. He
does not say one thing today and an
other tomorrow.
1t Is easier to be smart than to be
straight in the conflict Of life. It Is
easier to be clever than to buiI char
acter. 1t is easier in the face of
difficulties to sIde-step than to stand
up for principle. The man who
sends his son out into the world with
the counsel that "a good name Is
better than great riches" is the man
to whom Mr.. Hughes has always
made strong appeal. Mr.. Hughes
always means what he says" That
fact counts above everything else in
his favor in the closing days of the
campaign. It is the strong, outstand-
ing feature in his character. His
reputation Of trustworthiness, re-
liability, sincerity, stability and cour-
age Is his best asset In this CAM
paign; Il will - one o. the nation'l

HOLDING UP MAILS.

Nearly every day the press dis
patches tell OF some new instance OF
the stopping and opening Of American
mails by France or Great Britain.
These instances, for the most part.
concern mail not destined for nor
bound from belligerent ports, but pro-
ceeding from neutral nation to neut-
raj nation.
And still no decisive action has
been taken by the American govern
ment. When the British censor at
Vancouver, British Columbia, STOP
ped and opened official mail from Am
erican naval officers in the Orient ad-
dressed to the navy department at
Washington, the administration ex-
pressed its resentment only by order
ing that its official mail be sent
through some other port.
On May "a last this government
wrote note on the subject to Eng
land and France. 1t was a perfectly
good note, $500 words long, delying
deep into history and appealing to
the better nature OF England and
France, in view OF historical prece-
dent. to desist. After waiting near
ly four months the powers addressed
have replied. And that reply brings
the matter no nearer conclusion.
Mail seizures continue
The note Of May "a stated the case
so aptly that some OF it is worth
quoting. Here is the final portion:
The government OF the United
States in view OF the improper meth
DDS employed by the British and
French authorities in interruptine
mails passing between the United
States and other neutral countries
and between the United States and
the enemies OF Great Britain. can
no longer tolerate the wrongs which
the citizens OF the United States
have suffered and continue to suffer
through these methods"
Parenthically it may be remarked
that. the campaign having come On ,
the administration Is still tolerating
the wrongs described.

lhese regents receive no compen-
sation for their services except their
actual expenses incurred in attending
the occasional regular or special
meetings of the boards, and the sat
isfaction derived from the efficient
and faithful discharge of their duties.
ihis kind Of compensation does not
appeal to any but broad-minded aud
patriotic men. who do the work be
cause they love it and because they
are deeply interested in the educa-
uonal development of the state.
1t is obvious that the management
of two great institutions located
hundreds of miles apart and three
normal schools in different sections
of the state would require more time
and attention than the average man
OF affairs could afford to donate to
the work without receiving a salary
The moment a salary is attached the
cupidity of small politicians would be
aroused and the regencies would be
sought, not for the honor. but for the
cash remuneration. and the men
seeking them would not hesitate to
drag politics into their administra-
ton and try to make partisan ma

Even though the single board sys-
TEN might find favor with a major

danger of their trying to force it
through against the announced oppo-

attempts of the majority of the legis-
lature to override the convictions Of
Ernest Lister, the people have uni
formly supported the chief executive
