RIOTING WON'T HELP

TT is suspected that the food riots are
not spontaneous protests against the
increasing cost of living, but that they
are organized by professional agitators.
If this be we'll founded, a large part of
their significance disappears. The fact
remains, however, that the eXorbitant
prices now charged for certain forms of
food used by the poor are causing genuine
hardship. A horizontal reduction of
twenty-five ger cent in wages would not
produce greater hardship. The equivalent
of such reduction has been experienced
by virtually every man working for
fixed wage. 1t takes at least dollar now
to buy what seventy.five cents would buy
a year ago. Rioting, however will not
bring relief. Neither will a congressional
investigation into the cause of high
prices. There is a shortage of food due
to the failure of the producers to keep
pace with the growth of population. More
productive farms and bigger crops
secured by intensive cultivation will
rapidly bring the prices down, and moth.

THE GERMAN-IRISH

To the Editor Of the Epening Ledger:
Sir--lt is safe bet that nowadays when
we read pro-German or anti-Engish or
signature we will find either a German
IRISH name. The Germans naturally can
see only good in their country, only wicked
ness in England and have only contempt
and kindred feeling for the United States.
As to the Irish, though professedly a lib
erty-loving and idealistc people, they allow
their hatred for England to carry them into
the camp of Germany, n nation which under
other e rcumstances would seem utterly
antagonistc and abhorrent TO them. Sup
posing, just supposing. that II was Eng
land who had instituted the barbarous and
inhumane submarine war. Our papers
would have been filled with irate letters
OF our Irish residents crying aloud Eng
lands infamy to the skies and urging the
United States to avenge the blood of her
state for so many representatives of a
nation like Ireland to fall in; they are in
deed blinded" with hatred. 1t is, indeed.
lucky for them that they live in these free
United States, for l, who have lived in Ger
many, can assure them that II at a critical
time like this they would give vent to their
sympathies like, for instance, Mr.. Coy and
Mr. McNulty have done. for a nation with
which the United States Is at odds. and if
the case were reversed and they were living
in Germany and uttered such pro-Ameri-
can views. they would find themselves de-
prved of their liberty. j. H.

WASHINGTON, THE LIBERAL

L,EBRUARY ~ and February % are the
birthday anniversaries Of two great
Liberals, though that fact is often OBJ
scured by some who cannot transpose
the politics of a past age into the terms
Of the present. Consummate reactionaries
and Tories who, had they lived in the
sixties, would have reviled Lincoln,
sought Office in n later day in the name
OF Lincoln, though they had no under
standing of the reason for his fame.
And Washington has been praised In
terms that betray a belief that the first
President was something of fine old
Tory gentleman.
To believe in American nationalism
in 1876 was to be as much of a Liberal
as any Irish Nationalist of today, and
George Washington was that kind Of
a Liberal His fight was essentially the
same as Lincolns hght-for national.
ism. They were both rebels against
vested interests. Thousands of wealthy
monarchists left for Canada and Eng
land rather than submit to the equality
of opportunity that the success of the
American Revolution promised. They
the frame of mind which puts any for
eign or sectional interest above Ameri-
tat Noo hi ton
Americanism; after eighty.fve years
Lincoln had to fight for 1t again; and
after fifty more years this is stlll the
leading issue in our politics and the only
thing worth fighting for.
No one who was not a Liberal could
have wished that our Constitution
should survive as devoutly as Washing
ton wished It. Europe had, as he said,
set of interests with a very remote
relation to ours, because the most lib
eral minds in Europe could constantly
look to this country for complete full
fillment of their most democratic am
bitons. The best proof that this con.
tinent has been primarily the nursery of
free institutions is the fact that our
West is made up of free States and not
of colonial provinces and that South
and Central America have not become
European dependencies. Voices in
Europe may ask US why we do not help
save the world-and we may answer,
rs it nothing to have saved half of it?
"It is nothing to keep half of the lands
of the white race intact, in competition
with the yellow peoples, whom war has
not torn and whose primacy on earth
we alone oppose in the event of the
complete exhaustion of Europe?"

THE OLD HOUSE

Cold and cheerless, bare and bleak,
The old house fronts the shabby street;
And the dull windows eastward gaze,
As their cobwebed brows they raise,
Just as though they looked to- see
What had become of you, and me
And all the other children
The dust drifts DER the garret floor,
The little feet thread there no more;
But DER the stage, still standing there,
The Muse first stalked with tragic air
And whispered low to you and me
OF golden days that were to be
For us and all the children.
Good-by old house Thy tattered cloak
Is fringed with moss and gray with smoke
Within thy walls we used to see
A gaunt old wolf named Poverty;
Yet from thy rafters' dsngy bars
A ladder stretched up to the stars
For us and all the children.
Grace Duffie Boylan, in the Rochester
Evening Times.
