WORKING A RULE BOTH WAYS.

Mr.. Hoover in his administrative capacity
declares that wholesalers should base prices on
costs and not on present market values. This
means that when a dealer buys a large guam
tity OF a commodity and during his sale of it the
price goes up, he is not justified in price raising
until he has sold all of his stock purchased at
low prices. This is a suggestion which will be
looked upon as a just means Of securing econ
omy to the buying public; in following it the
wholesaler would not suffer undue loss and he
would be a patriotic merchant-citlzen. But
Mr.. Hoover takes no account of the situation
which arises where the wholesaler buys a large
stock and the price goes down. Presumably
Mr.. Hoover expects the wholesaler to sell at
market prices regardless of losses. Real justice
would be done in giving the wholesaler oppor-
tunity to make a fair profit, and only a fair
one, under both conditions. Here is a rule
which would work we'll one way and which pos
sibly the public would judge to work i'll the 9th
er. Price regulation is a war necessity but it is
a dangerous business to be handled without
careful consideration of specific cases.

A USELESS PUBLICATION.

From Washington comes news that congress
will demand to "be shown before it grants a
large sum of money to finance the operations Of
the Creel publicity board. In these times which
urgently require economy of resources and con
servation of energy the Creel sboard has been
the most conspicuous public example of use
less expenditure and profitless labor. The COZ
ficlal Bulletin the most notable production Of
the board, is enormously expensive to produce,
consumes vast quantities of white paper re-
CURED for useful purposes and further clogs an
already congested postal service to the detri-
ment of worthier publications, while such of its
contents as has not appeared in the daily pa
pers of three or four days previous consists of
the veriest trash. The Bulletin should be
discontinued, the chairman permitted to resume
his trade of magazinist and the other members
of the board released for such useful war work
as they may be individually fitted.

THEY CARE FOR THEIR OWN.

"The non-Jewish world credits the Jew with
caring for his own people," is a sentence in a
little manual for workers in the fve-million-doI-
lar campaign of the Jewish war relief commit
tee. 1t is just a word of explanation; it is not
written as a boast, but as a reason why APP
peal must be made to Jews especially because
Of the unimaginable impoverishment and agony
of Jews in the war-devastated lands.
Yet the words sem radiant: they CLEAN like
gold. They are so splendidly true. 1t is a
tradition that has come down through the ages
that the Jew will not see his brother starve.
For many centuries this people, dispersed
through many lands, without political power
and the victims of prejudice and persecution,
shared the prosperity Of the prosperous and the
distress of the impoverished. Sea and land in
leagues might lie between but the correspond
ence system of the Jews kept them advised as to
the fortunes Of their brethren in the most remote
places, and philanthropy no less than civilized
N played its part in that correspond
ence. No nation boasts a prouder motto on it's
heraldry than the sentence, 'The n%on-Jewish
world credits the Jew with caring for his own
people"
In this world crisis the Jews have justified
the opinion of the non-Jewish peoples. They
have done more than that; they have won uni

ment for having too long a tongue, because she
has been sentenced by Judge Martin j. Wade

AN ERA OF ESTABLISHMENT.

The war department has issued an urgent
call for graduate nurses and wants about five
hundred of them within a week. There are said
to be fifty thousand in this country of whom
twenty thousand will be needed in the coming
year for work at home and abroad. Only three
thousand, five hundred have been assigned to
service thus far, and about half of these are now
in France.
This war is everywhere opening to women
the doors to a wider life. Such opportunities
for service as they never dreamed of are offered
NOV. Work in many new lines is calling to
them. Capable women can make free choice Of
their vocation; and women skilled in minister
ing to human suffering may be on their way to
France within a fortnight after they signify
their willingness to go.
Probably we do not yet begin to realize how
this war is making all things new and what a
different world from anything their parents
dreamed of is in preparation for the men and
women Of tomorrow, the children Of today. A
century of unprecedented material progress
has just closed, a century of enormou develop
mnt along known lines. A century Of readjust-
ment seems now to have begun when war, des-
potisms, divine-right theories and many other
institutions and conceptions which began with
written history are finally to disappear.
California fruit growers in convention ask
that Chinese farm laborers be admitted to the
state. They must have help they say or their
great industry cannot be maintained. There
are said to be many thousand Chinese laborers
In France; and it is possible that Australia and
South Africa will lift their interdict on oriental
labor as the war goes on. Somebody must till
the soil of lands which have millions of their
sons under arms and admission of Chinese la
borers may be one way to solve the problem.
The United States supreme court now decides
