MINIMUM AMI MAXIMUM.

Under ordinary circumstances the government has
no authority to NEEDLE with the price Of commodities. IT
may make contracts for what 1t needs, and this. Of course.
may have some influence on prices. But 1t has no author
ity to order that prices shall be either so high or so low.
In time Of war ordinary restrictions on government
al powers disappear. The government has the right, and
in case Of need it must exercise 1t, to fix the price of any,
thing whatever. Naturally, no government that is con-
trolled by rational men will fix prices that are obviously
unreasonable. But within the limits of reason govern
ments have this power, and the European governments
have found it necessary to use it In many instances. and
it may be necessary for our own government to follow
suit.
Just now there is a great deal said about fixing MIN
imum prices for food products. The operation will be
much simpler than that Of fixing maximum prices. The
government may give notice that at any time within a
prescribed limit, it will buy all the wheat, for instance.
that may be offered. at a certain stated price. That will
automatically fix the price at not lower than the price
it cannot go below it. as no one would sell to another for
low price when he can sell to the government for a
better. In doing this the government would assume the
risk that world prices might go lower before the period
expired. In that case the government would sustain a
loss which it would be obliged to pass on to the public
either in the form OF taxation or Of wheat prices higher
than the market warranted.
Maximum prices cannot be adjusted that way. The
government might at this time announce that it would
not pay more than . dollar a bushel for No. 1 northern
wheat. The only effect Of that would be that the govern
ment would not get any wheat. To establish effectively
a maximum it would be necessary for the government to
take some positive action. 1t might prohibit under Sc
we're penalties, the sale OF wheat at more than the price
it should name. 1t might seize all the wheat in the coun-
try at that price, and reissue it at a corresponding
price. 1t might do both of these things, and it might
adopt other provisions. But in any event, while the fix
ing OF a minimum would be rather simple, the establish
ment Of a maximum would be complicated.

SENATOR NORRIS

("Girard" in Philadelphia Record.)>
Now Senator Norris has it. I mean
that curious disease which makes him

Newspapers, he declares. have en-
listed in a propaganda to manufacture
sentiment for war. And yet when as
a correspondent I used to see the SEN
ator In Washington-he was then a
member of the house-he seemed like
such a sane and wholesome fellow.
But I repeat. This notion that
newspapers want war so hat they can
print exciting news is a disease. AS

expenses Of that war that in 1893 the

"TRENCH HUMOR"
SCORES HIT
(From Minneapolis Journal.)

\1AoAh
The cartoons that come from the
humor has survived the war terrors
and Is, perhaps, ever mellowed by
stress. One cartoon is from a Cana
dian soldier. Two rather disgusted
and Observation-Disclosures TOM
mics" are seen crouching within a
shelter, one Of them opening a can
Of corn beef. Without a smile. he
says: (Which are vol going to ave.
Bill. a wing or a piece Of the breast?"
The cartoons of Captain Bruce
Bairnsfather are almost riotously pop
ular in England. They have been
printed in the B%ystander and r now
collected in pamphlet form. The car
toonist does not try to glorify war. On
the contrary, he takes all the glory
out of 1t. He loves to show the young
mar who thought to use his sword on.
ing a bit of dry bread over a brazier.
A double cartoon called 1.-THE Same
Old Moon" shows Bairnsfather at
his best. 1t is Enthusiastically Eng
lish in its ~tragi-comedy. In the first
picture a young girl, looking out'of
a window in England, gazes senti-
mentally at the moon. ITO think"
she breathes, that it's the same dear
old moon that's looking down on
him!" In the second picture. "he"
is stringing barbed wire in front of
trenches in dangerous proximity to
German gunners. The same dear
o is shining down on him. "This
blinking moon," he feelingly observes,
scowling at it over his shoulder, twill
be the death of u.s."
The spirit Of the cartoons, and of
much of the humor hat comes from
the front, shows that the heroic strut
has gone out Of war. It is q sad and
q hard job that must be done. It's
righteousness. rather than It's pon1p
and circumstance, 10 what is emplia-
Sized.
And In this slant" one sees the
emphasis laid on the truth of things,
on the preposterous absurdity of kill
ing millions Of men and destroying
the wealth Of a world in settling dis
putes. The pomp and glory of war
are now the exclusive possession o.
the autocracies and, Of them, the
proofs are piling up that God is
tired"
The war humor seems essentially
a helpful and consoling humor. 1t
has no bitterness in it and it helps
steady the strain. It is the sort of
thing that Lincoln used to tighten The
cares of the day, sometimes to the
point of disturbing the more serious
minded Of his cabinet. It is a dry
and mellow ability to laugh at one
self. 1t shows that the hardy old
spirit OF the race is far from being
crushed. Once the war is over, it
will go on it's way undisturbed and
even strengthened by the ordeal it has
been through.
