NEW WORKERS RIOT FOR NEGETA-
RLES

Ii Is not altogether true To say that New
Yorker are crying for bread, or to call
the disturbances occurring there lately on
account II the demand for food ''bread
riots" A study of the situation reveals
the fact that bread has advanced IN New
York City only one cent per loaf. A. com
pared with the price Of the stan of life
there n year ago The truth Of the mat
ter Is. New Yorker are crying for vege-
tables, rather than for bread.
The riots began with the overturning Of
the wagon Of 4 vegetable vendor by some
Of the women vino had cone to the market
for their days supplies. Onions had gone
up IN price from two and a half cents per
round to II centz. Potatoes had jumped
from four cents to II cents. Apples had
doubled IN price. String beans, which'last
year sold at $3.50 per basket, were scarce
~ 4I2 a baFkct. Bects, celery, lettuce and
spinach, all had scared IN price beyond the
reach Of slim purses. Eggs had gone on
the luxury list also, selling III 50 cents
per dozen. But bread l. only one cent high
er rin New York than it was q year ago.
MlE has risen only one cent per quart. So,
ii appear that those New York rioters
are not CRYING for bread. They are IN real
ity crying for vegetables, for articles al
food that are not cla-~cd among the actual
necessities Of life.
The rise IN the price Of vegetables l. not
surprising AT this season, when they are
scarce indeed. even in the truck ernSAtss
rppiau1 nn account az the freeze Of "A few
weeks ago. which cut of the truck crops

: The legislature of the state of Maine
has consented 10 give the voters of that
IAhte the privilege of deciding whether the
women of the state shall have the ballot.
Maine women have been working for this
forty years. Texas lawmakers have re-
fused repeatedly 10 grant the people of
the state permission To decide this question
for themselves. Could not the members of
the legislature trust the very people who
elected them to office TO vote on this sub
ject with equal wisdom!
Germany probably has put about nine more
nails in her coffin, by the sinking of seven
Dutch merchant vessels. Holland has been
as quiet rs any neutral could be through
out the war, but her people are enraged by
this wholesale sinking of Dutch ships, and
perhaps something interesting may be IN
lected into the l-boat campaign by those
hardy Dutch sailors.

Two member Of the Arkansas state sen
ate were arrested the other night charged
with having accepted hrbeS. Ii i claim
ed that both had in their pockets marked
bills which had been given them by Il de-
%tective, who laid a trap for them, offering
them money To vote against certain bills
pending in the legislature. Perhaps those
men are innocent. If 50, they doubtless
will b. able to establish their innocence,
and if they do So. they should leave no
stone unturned Ia punish their accuSerS.
For few grosser crimes could be charged
against anyone than the betrayal of the
trust that Is reposed IN a representative Of
the people in any representative body. BE
he congressman. legislator, county com
missioner or city alderman or commission
er, any man elected To such position who
accepts a bribe or who uses his position
falsely. for his own personal benefit, =
guilty of 4 gross crime. There can he no
extenuation for his otfense. Sympathy for
such MEN Is often felt by honest people on
account of their prominence and more
esf<ccislly because their families must suf-
fer if they be disgraced publicly by convIc-
ton and punishment. But IN truth they
deserve no sympathy. The ignorant man
who commits THEFT aud j. convicted
and j. punished for It j. tar more
deserving Of sympathy. Inc ordinary
thief. at least, has betrayed no trust. lie
does not come before the bar of Justice
with the sinister stain Of the traitor, who
,Los robbed and mistreated his friends.
Grating, bribery, theft of the peoples
money. held in trust by the officers elect
ed by the people, should be punished far
more severely than ordinary theft. And
ANY man who is accused falsely of having
committed such a gross crime should not
,rest until his false accuser pays the pen
atty.
