RUSSlAiS PLIGHT.

The abandonment of Riga. Russia
important port to the Germans, and the
belief expressed in diplomatic circles
that this may be followed by the aban-
Comment of Petrograd as the capital, is
unpleasant news for the Allies. If it
should result in any important stocks
of Russian foodstuffs falling into the
hands of the Germans, the latter may
be temporarily tlded over crisis, just
as they were last year when they cap
tured the rich granaries of Rumania.
1t would be hasty if not unfair iudg-
ment to accept the retirement from
Riga as 2 criterion of what may be ex-
pected from Russia during the remain
der of the campaign. Consider her
plight. Harassed within as well as
without; the recently dethroned roy
alists doubtless plotting with the enemy
for counter revolution; the civil ranks
honeycombed with political fanatics of
all creeds the flames of anarchy famed
bY the agents of the enemy who swarm
ed over the frontier when the revOlu-
tion took place; the necessity for re-
organizing the army as well as the civil
government. Probably no nation in
in modern times was ever confronted
with so many and perpleXIng problems.
Under these conditions it is no won
der that its defensive has weakened.
1t is by no means certain, however,
that Russia's plight is as bad as it ap-
pears at this distance. Military experts
say that the occupation of both Riga
and Petrograd will be of questionable
advantage to Germany, and that the
latter will soon be cut off from supplies
in the rear through the closing of navi-
cation by the rapidlyzapproaching WIN
ter. 1t is also,probable that, with the
enemy compelled to subsist upon the
occupied territory, the?Russian people,
though having experienced the rigors
of German military rule, will be spurred
to resistance. IfsRussia displays half
the spirit of.Belgium this is certain to
be the case, and. Mondays event may
prove thesone thing needful to solidifv
the new Russian republic.

LET THE BOY STICK TO HIS
SCHOOLING.

This is the month that youth thinks
it has good reason to hate-the month
when school opens.
We wonder how many boys that en-
tered upon vacation in June without a
thought but that September would find
them back again at their lessons have
been beguiled by war and the chance of
high wages into letting opportunity slip
by that will never come again.
The high cost of living tells. and
many boy has doubtless been forced
to give up school and pitch in to help
make both ends meet But how many
are there who have quit without real
cause, with nothing to take them away
save the idea that now, because po-
sition7 are a-plenty and wages or sal.
aries high, time can be gained by drop
ping lessons and taking to work
No boy should sell his future if he can
help it. The couple of years about six
teen do not really belong to him. He
holds them in trust tor the man he is
some day to become can never get
them back again.
There's lot of humdrum about
lessons; lot that is tedious, lot
the advantage of which one cannot
see very plainly at the time. But
the effect keeps on accommodating
mysteriously but surely. About this
time-when a boy is sixteen, say
he has gotten a sort of an education:
enough of one to get along with, per-
haps. if the boys earning power is
seriously needed by his mother, but,
oh, so rough, so in need of the cement
ing and smoothing out process that
another year or two of study might in
sure.
Let no boy and no parent think that
that additional year or SO can easily be
dispensed with or made up later; that
an early and apparently convenient start

STUMBLING ON THE TRUTH.

Senator La Toilette unintentionally
did a public service in the course of his
address in favor of the CONSUMPTION of
wealth." He referred to the difficulty
of the Finance committee in its effort
to frame definition of what consti-
tutes the capital of a corporation or
partnership upon which war profits are
to be computed under the pending rev.
enue bill. After working early and
late with the aid of the most eminent
economists In the country and giving
the subject many weeks consideration,
no satisfactory definition was found,
and hastily adopted amendment, he
said. left the matter to the books of
the corporations. There is a paragraph
in the bill, however. which refers the
matter to the Secretary of the Treasury
for final determination. 1t was in re-
lation to the latter that the Senator
stumbled on to truth.
He called attention to the fact that
the Secretary of the Treasury would be
compelled to make an investigation in
to the capitalization of the corporations,
in order to enforce the proposed tax,
and this, he declared, was absolutely
impossible. To support the declaration
he reclted the experience of the Inter
state Commerce Commission in attempt
ing to ascertain the capital of the rail
roads Of the country. This commission.
with a force of hundreds and hundreds
of trained experts, has spent five years
on that subject and has only completed
in tentative way the valuation of two
or three of the small railroads of the
country" and it is accepted as fact
that it will take several years to finish
this great undertaking aud arrive at a
tentative result as to the capital actual
ly invested and employed in the railroad
business of this country"
That Is the evil of much of the legis-
lation vitality affecting the public. The
legislator reaches a serious obstacle IN
trying 10 frame statute law that will
not lmpinge natural law, and in his
dilemma he shifts responsibility to
some executive officer The latter Of
ten makes an arbitrary ruling or jumps
to a conclusion. The result is expen-
siye litigation, economic loss, amend
ment, repeal, another attempt from d
different angle, with another run around
the circle
Just now when 50 much emergency
legislation is being enacted it is essen
tial that new laws be explicit, that a
minimum of action be left to the dIscre-
ton of administrative officials. and that
factious partisanship be, as nearly rs
possible eliminated.

FAMILY FLOUR
TOBECHEAPER
But the Price of Bakers Bread
Will Probably be Unchanged.

Prospects of an early and radical
reduction in bread prices apparently
vanished when Herbert Hoover, the
food administrator, announced that the
best the public may expect is a 16 ounce
loaf for ten cents or possibly eight
cents.
The eight cent loaf of 16 ounces is
possible, Mr.. Hoover SAID, only if bak-
ers, retailers and consumers unite to
eliminate wasteful distribution meth
DDS and cooperate to obtain a stand
ardzed loaf.
The price of family -four, Mr.. Hoov-
er said, should be reduced at the pres
ent price of wheat at least two or three
dollars barrel. Bakers flour, how
eyer, will sell little cheaper than at
present.
{. |. Corby, one of the prominent
bakers of Washington, who, as repre-
sentative of the baking interests of
the country is serving as voluntary aid
to Mr.. Hoover, said last night that a IA
ounce loaf tor five cents is not in sight.
There probably would be a l6 ounce
loaf for ten cents which would represent
slight reduction in present prices.
Standardization, he said, would be hard
to bring about since varying costs in
ingredients that go into bread have
made it necessary to increase or reduce
the size of the loaf.
No move will be made toward price
reduction, Mr.. Corby said, until the
food administration has announced its
plan for dealing with the baking in
dustry. 1t may be month before the
program is ready.
The bakers" said statement bv
Mr.. CorbY, ''have been co-operatipg
with Mr.. Hoover and have supplied
data and facts to assist the food adj
ministration in perfecting its plans
relative to bread.
The bakers respectfully request the
public to disregard the many ridiculous
statements about bread emanating
from unreliable sources and ask that
they await the announcement of the
President relative to the nations plans
for bread production. "
Several other Washington bakers
sustained the statement of Mr.. Corby.
Members of the wheat price com
mittee which recommended the price
Of s. % declared after their work was
ended that the committee vas convinc.
ed it was possible to make and sell a
l4-ounce loaf of bread for cents.

hold their profits on flour to . cents a

Hoover said, flour should retail in New
York at from 81. IS to $12. Is a barrel.
ana at about the same price in Washing

to small bakers and retailers, he said,
should be from $l0.35 to $l1.25. The
average retail price of family patent
flour in New York from April to August
has been $l5 So
