 All this is interesting by way of

 to the fact that great accession has come to the independent vote of this

 of the body polite to have two great political parties striving for the favor

Imperial Residence, Where
 Emperor 0f Austria Died

Washington, D. C., Dec, 4.-Less Ring g-Strasse, which surrounds the inner city of Vienna, is the impress sive pile of masonry known as Schon- brunn, where some of the most dra- nratic episodes in the history of Aus tria have been staged and where only a few days ago the W-Stricken Emperor Francis Joseph's death brought to a close phenomenal reign of sixty eight years. Nation al Geographic society bulletin of the war geography series gives the follow ing description of the royal summer residence and some of the episodes which have had a regal setting there:
 With it's more than 1,400 rooms, SchOnbrunn is a splendid example of imperial residence modelled on the standard of the great palace at Yer sailles One of the striking peculiar ities of this home of Austria's royal family, however, is that instead Of crowning an eminence it is built on low ground, while the magnificent park of nearly 800 acres occupies the high ground, rising gradually from the palace doors until it terminates on
 
 made called the GlOrictte
 'Three important events of the Napolconic era were staged in the inn Derial apartm entS of SchOnbrunn. The first was the treaty of 1895, signed here by Napoleon and Haugwitz, the latter acting for the king of Prussia. By this document Napoleon inflicted a humiiatinG diplomatic defeat to the Prussian statesman who agreed to surrender CleVcG. AnsbaCh, and Ncu- chatel to France in exchange for Han over, whereas he had come to see the emperor for the express purpose of delivering an ultinntum demanding d return of Hanover. In the samo year, December 2D, Napoleon is sued the Proclamation of Schonhrunn in which the Bourbon dynasty in Ma ples was declared at an end.
 -Four years after HaugWitz's hu- 1 initiation @ second Treaty of Schon- brunn was signed, the principals this time being Napoleon and Francis I, the Austrian emperor who less than 1 year later was to become the father l fn-law of the 'upstart Corsican.'

TO HELP TRADE

Ii is the duty of the Federal Trade Commission to study all conditions re- lating to import and export trade, with an emphasis on the latter, and to recommend improvements. The subject engaging the attention of this commission at present is American export business that may be done aft CT the war The Commission, unlike many alarmists, is not frightened over the prospect of a commercial Europe overthrowing American en- terprise immediately after peace is de- clared. It takes the position that great time will be required to coordinate all Europe's forces for the pressing of trade. Capital and material will rot be forthcoming as soon as the war is over. Higher taxes and high CT wages will prevail throughout the continent and these will serve as great fandicaps to an almost totally de- stroyed commerce.
 The commission realizes however that America must take advantage of its every opportunity if it is to keep permanently in the lead and not re- linquish it's new trade markets to Europe. To do this there will be the need of great merchant marine, plenty of ships to carry away our ex- ports, and associations to look after this export business. The Commis- sion recommends that Congress grant power, under the commission, to small producers so that they may jointly act in exporting their goods, 1 provision to be made which will | prevent the restraint of trade at | home. It would seem that com- which is wise and just enough 1 to see the need of such scheme should be trustworthy enough to take care of the American peoples in terest in every way and prevent per- version of such grant.

A DTSPTCABLE GAMBLE.

Congress, which reassembled today, l the nation to investigate the high cost of living. Stories emanating from Chicago have an unsavory odor. It looks as if there has been utter viola tion of all laws and ethics by the food barons of the land. If the stories are true that corrupt practices have been resorted to in order to swindle the public then it is time for action Newspaper investigations of conditions in the trade marts of Chicago show that the warehousing facilities and other accommo odations for preserving and getting foodstuffs to the nation are owned and controlled by small cotorie of men who have gone out of their way to create a false demand for false supply. Every known ruse in the category of criminal spectators has been dragged forth and put in operation, according to reliable sources If this information can be
 
 is no telling what might be discovered if the great Investigating forces of the Federal Government are put on the trail of lawbreakers
 The nation in the past has been vic- timized by men of interruptions busi- ness methods. There have been glar- ing instances of spectators securing corners on the various food markets. Some of them have been sent to jail because they violated interstate com merce laws The men who are hold ing eggs and various other foodstuffs in storage at Chicago, and who in ad- dition have control over the re- frigerator systems on certain rail- roads have profited by the experiences of other offenders. They are skrting the law instead of breaking it. They are not selling their wares until they force the prices up to hitherto un- known levels and when they do sell they confine their sales within the state, thus evading punishment by the Federal government. If it can be found that the men to whom the wholesalers sell and who in turn ship the necessaries of life out of one state into another are really part and parcel of the scheme to force up the cost of living the Congress should lose no time in acting. There is no punish ment rigid enough for those who gamble on the appetites of the people.

this palace erected by Maria Theresa was the final hour in the life of the unhappy Due de Re1chstadt, son of Napoleon and the Austrian archduch- css Marie Louise. The 'Eaglet', as he was called, was just twenty-one when he died of tuberculosis in room once occupied by his illustrious father on one of the occasions when he held Schonbrunn as his military headQuar- ters. A perhaps too highly colored and historically warped but superbly appealing picture of this deathbed has been given to the world by the dis tinguished poet playwright of France, Edmond Rostand, in his widely known drama of L'Atglon'.
 "Schonbrunn stands on the site of hunting lodge built in 1b70 and en- larged in the following century when it received the present name after a beautiful fountain which adorned the grounds. During the Turkish in vestment of 1883 the lodge was de- stroyed but a new building was begun thirteen years later. The palace as- stunned it's present imposing outlines during the reign of Maria Theresa and her son, Emperor Joseph II.

FRESH AIR.

New York is now enjoying an
 'open window week." The Health
 Department of that city has officially
 designated the next six days as a
 period to study the effect of fresh air.
 It is aimed to show the people of the
 and leaving them open during sleep
 ing time there is little chance of con-
 tracting pneumonia, bronchitis, grip
 or any other like maladies. Mortality
 statistics produced by the department
 show that the death rate for these
 diseases increases during the winter
 when doors and windows are kept
 tightly shut, that there is a marked
 decline in this death rate when doors
 and windows are kept open. During the week set aside for this experiment
 the people of New York are advised to walk to work when possible and to stay out-of-doors as much as they can.
 There is no reason why New York should have a monopoly on an "open window week." any more than there is reason for confning the period of open windows to six days. Every day and every night in this shut-in season there should be some provision made for letting in the good pure air of out doors. Through campaign of educa- tion that has extended over the years physicians have taught the public that many pulmonary diseases can be cured with the assistance of fresh air and plenty of it. This first gave rise to the so-called fresh air fiends the ex- tremists who insist upon ventilation to the nth and freezing degree 1 Without causing inconvenience to others fresh air can be made a vel | come guest in any home or place of 1 business.

HE CHAUVINISTS REBUKED.
Election Shows That People Believe m Peace With HonOr-Whcre the Democrats Lost.

l \Dallas, Tex, Morning News.) 1 Opinions will differ as to just what ! personal consideration it was that | made MT. Wilson the favoritc over MT HugheS in these and other repub- 1 llcan states. The fact that in nearly 1T not quite every instance they sent delegations to the house political op- posed to MT. Wilson. suggests that the achievements of the democratic par ty in the field of domestic affairs made much less favorable impress sion on the electorate than had been expected. Men who vo<ed for the measures that make up that remark able record of achievement were can- didates for reelection; so that if the animating motive was a desire to ap- prove these legislative measures, the men who voted for the bills that MT. Wilson signed ought to have beer rewarded as he was. But they were not. The absolute legislative power which the democrats have exercised the last four years has been taken away from them Tn the field of leg 1slative action they can do only what their political opponents will permit them to do. But if a curb has been put on the president in the field Of domestic politics, he has been left 
 field of foreign politics.
 Here is a contrast, and one which seems to mock the politicians of all parties who presumed to guide the course of the popular instinct. For it must be remembered that the re- publicans cought the verdict on the issue of MT. Wilson's performance in tho field of foreign politics. whereas the democrats, while not seeking to dodge that issue, thought that it was to their interest to stress MT. Will sons achievements in the field of do- mestic politics. We have a result which, insofar as it has any intelligi- ble reading, signifies the direct re- verse of that. What, by both the fol- lowers and the opponents of MT. Will son, was thought to be the vulnerable side of his candidacy turns out to have been the invulnerabe one While that which both thought to be the vulnerable one.
 However sickening the thoueht may be to those chauvinistS who cried to the people to disown MT. Wilson as the only means left for retrieving the honor of the nation, the people seem to have endorsed only those of his acts and policies which were held up as the proof of the degradation they charged against him. The popular and the professional notions Of na- tional honor are manifestly at var lance. The returns make it clear that
 MT. Wilson was stronger than lis par ty,, and they indicate that he was stronger not because of the many eX- cellent measures he has put through Congress, but because of his deter imitation to keep the country at peace so long as it is possible to do that without compromise of it's honor.

Capt. Duffy of the Chemung.
(NeW York WOrld)

\ANS" l OIh w OIluJ.
 If the American ship Chemung was sunk by a German submarine, the act, like that in the case of the Frye, was in violation of an ancient treaty between the United States and Prus- sia If the aggressOr was an Aus trian and If undersea boats are to be recognized by international law as commerce-destroyer probably the attack was justified, for the freighter was carrying cOntrahand.
 The pledges made by the central powers appear to have been observed. The Chemung was visited and searched It's crew were ordered into the small boats. When that measure of safety had been accorded them the ship was torpedoed and the sub- marine then lowed the survivors to 8 point five miles from shore, where they were rescued.
 If the submersible had a right to do these things, there can be no doubt that Capt. John l.. Duffy of the Chemung also had a right to keep the American flag flying on his ship until it disappeared from view, which he valiantly did, in spite of tho orders of his Captors. Perhaps Jeremiah OLca"y and the American Truth Society will denouncc John Duffy as "a renegade Irishman," but most Americans will glory in his re- fusal to strike the colors that protect ed him and his men if not his ship.
