MIR. sowERBY's ELECTION

The people of the First Division made no mistake eec,ing Isaac Sowerby Representative in the Legis, ature to succeed the late John G. Heid Indications are that Mir Sowerbys majority will considerably exceed $50
 Several things are indicated by this election The first is entirely complimentary to Mir Sowerby. His plurality over one of the best deserving and strongest citizens os the Capital City and the First Division is fine testimonial Of his standing in the Division.
 The circumstance that earnest partisan appeals were made for Republican support for Mir. RecE con- cededly or the most popular men the Republicans could have nominated ig, indeed. not the most pOpu- lar. at time when actual political strife is more tense than any previous time in the history Of the Territory is significant For weeks the people had been watching the beIated returns from an election that was about evenly balanced and which followed a very strenuous campaign. Then came the anxious weeks Of consideration by the canvassng board and an appeal Co the courts with Wickersham organs en- deayOring to arouse public sentiment in his behalf To add to this situation came the Senate deadlock with the Wickershamites attempting to line up the Republicans in the Senate with themselves in control ot the party.
 In view of this situation and the admitted strength Of Mir Reck the political indication of the 40 per cent majority received by Mir SowCrby is that pub lie sentiment supports the present position of the Democratic party in this Territory.
 While the vote yesterday not large it must be understood that no organized effort made to the polls. and only one office was to be filled

 Good! Let us know at last that going to have a real investigation. The country has conii- dence in the Federal Trade Commission. Now let s have the facts Let's go to the bottom-to the luhda- menals-and really all that be learned about
 The problem is legal and economic The question whether there combinations ln restraint Ot ta0e must be decided. That has heretofore attracted the main attention. Now it's time to go more into the economic part-and go into it thoroughly. Are the people being compelled to pay too much for what they buy? Nobody can answer that until he say with reasonable approximation what 1t costs to produce those things.
 In some fields the trade commission will find plenty Of data. The packers for instance, can tell r exactly what it costs them turn out their pro, ducts Government attention has encouraged accurate cost accounting in their But these fields are have to be done from the ground up. There isn't farmer in Illinois who knows what t costs him to put his product the market today. There isn't one manufacturer in ten who has an accurate idea or what 1t costs him to run his business.
 Let the trade commission start literally from the ground up" Let it start with the farmer and lind what production of everything, from eggs to wheat and cattle, means in terms of money and labor eN- pendure. He doesn't know, and nobody else knows Then let it follow the product tO consumption Many people assume high prices don't start until they reach some large organization. From the economic stand point they are just liable to start at the beginning as anywhere else. Prices cannot be permanently be- low the cost c! production under any crcumSiances
 The country is in the mood for an investigation that will be long and deep and thorough. 1t IS tired O. these continued furres about high prices that get nothing except possibly a politician into Congress OrI some other job into the newspapers. It has had it's fill of haEbaked remedies that spring from attention to only half Of the great problem.

 Another reason why a man can't understand a woman is because she reads the bargain advertisements before she reads the war news.

Work on two battle ships at Newport News already is proceeding under doubled crews at Secretary Daniels suggestion and the offers of the other two companies to make similar steps met with the SeCretary's hearty approval.
 At the Newport News plant 1t is estimated that the battleship Mis- sissippi, recently launched, can be completed by midsummer instead Of January 1, 1918, as called for in the contract. The keel of one of the four new battleships recently con. tracted for will be laid on the slip vacated by the Mississippi instead of merchant vessel, as had been intended
 Representatives of the Fore River and Electric Boat Companies called on Mir. Daniels, offering to rush work on destroyers and submarines for which they have contracts, setting aside other private work to that end. They were told to go ahead at full speed,

Those Senators and Representatives who contend that all voting in the Legislature should be by open ballot rather than secret ballot are right both theory and practice.
