Not a Federal Problem.

The investigation of the high cost of
living under federal auspices has run
up against a well-nigh insuperable OBJ
. stacle. The federal investigators find
. that whatever combinations exist for
the purpose of maintaining prices in
, food products and whatever arrange
ments have been made for holding food
supplies in storage for high prices are
not In cantravention of any federal
statute and that whenever infractions
or law have taken place, they are
against the regulations of the states
VINO Will have to undertake such pros
ecutioHs as may be instituted. Con-
sequeEtly, the federal Investigation is
over almost before it began; and the
immediate effect will be to center at
tehtion on some or all of the MANY
bills which are now before Con,ress
Ihere Will also be considerable slim
illus to state legislatures. most Of
which will soon be in session: and i, is
likely that there will be a flood of stata
legislation looking to a reduction of the
cost OF the necessaries of life.
This recrudescence Of states rights
action will not be harmful. On the CON-
trary. it will serve to direct public at

what it was in 1915, the Iron Age says:
. Thus there bids fair to be a greater
! French steel output after the war, to
be added to the increases in Germany
and Great Britain"
Reports Of steel operations in Great
Britain show an output greater than
any year since 1913, while Germany is
operating at So per cent. capacity of
her pig iron output and 70 per cent
capacity of steel output. At the rate
the United States has been exporting
steel products for the first nine months
Of the current yeAr, it is probable that
we will have sent abroad about $780,,
900 tons Of iron and steel manufactures
when the total for the calendar year is
struck, or an amount just about equal
to what Germany was exporting the
year before war was declared.
The total value of our iron and steel
exports for the first nine months of
this year was $62O,00O0O0 compared with
$163. 100000 for the first nine months of
1914. which. in turn, was $4,000, 600
less than for the first nine months of
1918. the last nine months under the
protective tariff policy. Our imports of
iron and steel manufactures for the
first nine months of this year totaled
about $2.boO.ooo less than for the first
nine months Of 1914, under the unre-
stricted operation Of the Wilson-U Under

Looking back over the campaign, it
may be of value to note that none of
the members of the Cabinet who took
the stump for Wilson-and they were
able to do for his chief what their eX-
colleague, Mr.. Bryan, did. The states
where Daniels, Baker, Redfield, ct al
spoke went Republican, while the
states where Bryan put in his work
went Democratic. 1t is no wonder that
the Bryan men look upon the rebirth of
their idol as the outstanding feature of
the politics of the day.

They sang without an organ, and they
sang just hathaway:
A "Do-ra-me and "fa-so-la," they sang

And hoped the angels use sharpe-notes, or

and will be started in the spring time
reasons given for the closing of the SER
vices are owing to the scarcity Of coal,
the great quantity Of snow, the conse-

Bowdoinham has been the subject of no
little discussion among the people in that

while on other boxes the signals were

though the boxes are erected by the pat

the passersby on the street for some
time Meanwhile another man in the

the office door and he began to wind it
up on his hand to rescue the Irvine. He

Dave Fultz was preparing TO hurl
his def into the teeth of organized
baseball. he commissioned Steamer
Al" Demaree to act as chairman at

around Chicago. Demaree. being a
director of the fraternity, responded
nobly and made some statements

Then Demaree was traded to the
cubs by the Phillies, and shortly
afterward F'ultz announced that the

was TO be the signal for the first big
gun of the players strike. Having
become a member of the Cubs. DEM
