THE PUBLIC FORUM
PROTESTS AGAINST REFORM
ERS.-The swell ladies' clubs are in
the field again telling the Iow-brows
how to vote. They, of course, are
with the aldermen that want to
choke off all the liberty of the people
and make a morals squad out of the
police force. The same bunch of re-
formers and their aldermen are new
er so anxious to be in the limeight
when the working women are on
strike.
Their pet aldermen have been on
the job for some time, but the crowd
ed street cars and novels for the
workers are still with US. They and
their kind are showing the people
how to live on a few cents per day
and living on the best themselves.
The burlesque show is bad, but the
FOllies is great State street dancingis
shocking, but naked Hoffman is art.
Don't drink in saloon or cafe, but
keep your cellar full of imported
wines. Close the saloons on Sunday,
but keep well picked all day Sunday
in your club. Dancing is vile, unless
it is in one of the swell affairs where
the women can go half-dressed.
If the angel aldermen are sincere
in their convictions, why don't they
tell their reasons for voting against
all liberal measures? Do they want
saloons closed? Do they want dane
ing stopped? Do they want Sunday
school, buTIesque and picture shows?
Do they want the police force for the
suppression Of crime or to pry into
private apartments looking for vice?
Is a penny-ante game in home 4

to play cards for cut glass or china

ance companies can gamble on your

how unfair they are at present. They
went into the fight and lost and after
a recount are out making a fight
against the ones that beat them
fairly.
Many of the radical thinkers Of the

The ApAMsoN LAW.

llIEs HCFNlSSlN LFNHNs - 1 lie Au-
amson law governing railroad brake
men, engineers, firemen and conduc-
tors was declared constitutional on
st. PatTick's day in the morning. One
fails to understand why the nine SUI
preme court justices allowed Lee,
Stone and Stafford to get their goat.
Unquestionably the law by the sim
pie wording, THE men shall receive
ten hours pay for eight hours
work, " abridged the right of individ-
ual contract
The fear of the war with Germany
and the submarine question gave
Lee, Stone and Stafford the death
grip upon the railroad kings. The
leaders Of the Trainmen's Brother
hoods did not concede one inch. The
power of the United States was in
vOked to aid the best-paid men of the
country today. Rather than have
the railroads taken over into the
hands of a federal receiver, the rail-
road kings yielded. No railroad war.
But here comes the 'joker"
fly in the coffee: Who will finally pay
the S60,000,000 increase in wages?
Mr.. Lee, Mr.. Stone and Mr.. Stafford?
The nine judges on the supreme
bench? Or Mr.. Wilson and the SEN
atOrs and congressman who owe
their allegiance to the people who
elected them? The consumer always
pays. The final answer is that the

No more sensational article mas

January. of vital interest to Ameri~
cans, than the admission by Cap
tain Persius. the noted German war
critic, in the Berliner Tageblatt, that
Germany submarine warfare Is a
ia flure; that the German people not
only doubt the result Of piracy
without mercy" but, in addition
realize that the admiralty was wrong
in its calculations regarding the de-
cisive effects of the submarine cam
paign. Of course, the war board and
the leading critics have long been
cogniZant Of the failure OF the cam

have not been allowed to disclose the
fact. That the Tageblatt has been
acrnirted by the censor to print Cap

the people are to have the truCn

The people of lower Fairfax county

WASTE OF FOOD IN THE ARMY

The people of the country nave
been z startled by the announcement
that while the pinch of. war is be
ing felt by, the great majority 81
hous eholders, soldiers are wasting
about one hundred thousands dollars:
worth of food daily,
Soldiers are never frugal. This
was illustrated during our civil war,
and many Alexandrians now living
can attest the fact that quantities
of food were wasted and often wan
tonly destroyed by the soldiers. Many
incidents could be cited by eye-wit
nesses of such acts whi,h showed an
inclination to abuse the gifts OF
heaven.
TT is so now when the country is
again called TO arms, and while pri-
yate families are denying themselves
and hummiag the tune When this
Cruel War is Over" men wearing
the uniform of the country have a
super abundance, so much so that
thousands of dollars worth Of SUD
stantial food is consigned to Stop
barrels
More. than a 100000. soldiers
have cclrried to camp the habits Of
-
extravaganza to which they were ad
dicted in their. homes. They are De
ing fed. under abnorma' conditions,
largely by ignorant cooks ana train
ed mess sergeants.
It is asserted that the army ra
tiun served to the troops in the car
comments is 20 per cent larger taan
the normal requirements: So far e..
forts TO secure reduction have been
unsuccessful. The army has been
! like a stone wall.
in this connection it may be stated
that While the army is furnished
with SUGAR in abundance, the civilian
is compelled 10 use it sparingly and
IN many eases forced to cut it out
entirely. During the past week t
has been almost impossible for Alex
andsia = Rousekeepers to rep'enish
their sugar BOXES. In certain cases
