Of Shore Patriots

The population of Nantucket Island has
been losing numbers for good many
wears. But its patriotism is still booming.
1t has subscribed S1,OOO,OOO to the first
and second Liberty Loans. and that is a
handsome figure for batch Of sand dunes
and 5000 inhabitants, even if it is not a
record. If every community in the coun-
try had subscribed 1888 for each man,
woman and child the Treasury would have
been swamped
Is off-shore patriotism a sterner breed
than most? Is there something about the
salt air of 'SconSet and the spindrift driv-
ing off the shoals past Sankaty Light to
weather the shingles and wet the boards
of old Nantucket that keeps alive a pecu'
liar tang of old Americanism? There IS
another island which has made record
in the war. Newfoundland, its inhabitants
declare. has sent larger quota TO the
trenches in France, in proportion to It's
population, than any other part of Can
ada. There are islands and islands, of
course-that is one Of the things that
every Englishman knows-but taking ISL
anders as a lot, you will have TO look far
10 beat them in stanchness and all-around
ability to weather a storm. May our in
land patriots never Go worse than our
5000 dwellers on the dunes of Nantucket.

The Constitutional Amendments

The following letter from a Tribune
reader raises a practical question which
every voter in New York State will face
when he enters his polling booth on Flee
ton Day:
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Nothing has been printed as far as
know as 10 Amendment No. ., TO be voted
on at the coming election, and should be
glad Of your opinion on the measure.
All thinking people will vote yes on No.
1. They may be in the dark as to No. 2
New York. Oct. 20, 1917. ]. j. II.
Our correspondent is right as TO Amend
ment No. l. There is nothing to be added
either to his analysis, his argument or his
conclusion Amendment No. is the suf-
frage amendment, granting the vote to
the women of New York on an equality
with the men. Vote for it by placing
cross in the square marked Eyes" beside IT.
Amendment No. does not concern this
city directly, but is sound and just and
should also be approved 1t applies to the
cities of Rochester and Buffalo the excel
lent provision already giving New York
the right to exclude its revenue-producing,
self-sustaining bonds in calculating Its
debt limit. The provision was admirable
and sound when applied to this city, and
it should by all means be extended to
Rochester and Buffalo.
Vote ayes" on both constitutional amend
ments this year. Do it by marking a cross
in the square designated Eyes" beside each
amendment. Do not write the word Yes.
That will invalidate the vote. Put crosses
in the proper squares

Human Lives Saved
Mayor Mitchels Street Safety Plan
a Great Conservation Agency

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Among the activities Of welfare work
begun or extended during Mayor Mitchers
conservation of human life.
Just now, with millions Of our men being
sent away TO the most devastating war in
history, the fact that over two thousand per-
sons are injured permanently disabled or
killed in our streets each month makes this
work OF the Mayor take Oh an interest that
cannot be too highly valued.
The Mayors active part in this work began
when he appointed a committee Of citizens 70
cooperate with the Police Department in
planning ways and means for reducing haz-
ards to life and property in the streets.
In this instance alone it is probably safe
to say that he has saved TO the taxpayers
millions of dollars, for it is impossible to
compute accurately the extent TO which So
eiety is taxed for the damage caused by pre-
yentabe accidents.
Realizing all this Mayor Mitchell appointed
Commissioner Woods to direct the activities
of the Street Safety Committee. This was
the first step toward uniting the city depart
ments in concerted effort to cut down the
ever increasing rate OF street and other acct
dents.
The Board of Education approved and en-
couraged the work by Incorporating it into
the regular course of study. The Board of
Health cooperated by assisting in the dis
tribution through the schools. play centres
and mothers clubs of specially prepared
pamphlets on THE Value and Cost Of the
Human Body" The Fire Department af-
forded every possible assistance for practi-
cally demonstrating in the schools what to
do in case OF fire, and provided graphic

public with the Importance of taking proper
precautions against the hazard of fire in fac
tories, homes and the streets. Through the

Real Food Conservation

Food Conservation Week comes none too
soon. Since April last we have been talk
ing about introducing patriotism into the
kitchen and the dining room. But little
has come of that talk. Many individuals
have revised their daily bills of fare in
the true spirit. But individual efforts
count for little in such matters. You
can't get very far, either in national food
economy or in national military efficiency,
If you depend entirely on the volunteer
system. Effort must be co0rdinated and
universal in order to reach satisfactory
results. The government must help the
individual in order that the individual may
help the government.
The average citizen is willing enough to
cooperate with the government in saving
food-in cutting down his use Of those
food staples which are most needed by our
allies. Yet unless he be food producer
as well as food consumer he has really
only half choice. lie needs protection
against the producers and middlemen, who
Try TO make it difficult for him to follow
the governments advice and use cheaper
and more abundant substitutes for wheat
bread beef, pork, mutton and butter He
finds these substitutes, if he turns TO them,
raised in price. not because Of any ma
terially increased cost Of production and
handling. but simply because of his pa
triotic Willingness TO use them.
Take the case OF wheat bread. White
bread is the most expensive bread made,
because of material and of complicated
milling processes. 1t is generally admit
ted 10 be inferior in quality TO the darker
breads. The white breads sell high be-
cause there is a great demand for them
But the dark breads have also been selling
high-higher relatively than the white
breads-because there has been little de-
mand for them. If the people are willing
to eat rye bread and corn bread, or some
mixture of cheaper elements described as
war bread" they ought TO have the bene-
fit in price of their readiness 20 accept the
less expensive substitutes. And without
effective regulation by the government
they cannot realize that benefit.
It is the same thing with fish as a sub
stitute for beef, pork and mutton. The
price of fish for many years past has been
artifcially stabilized here. 1t has been
elevated with the price of meat, in order
to prevent people from substituting cheap
hsh for dear beef. Fish prices here have
been artificial They are still artificial,
although there has been an enormous in
crease in the last year in the spot prices
for fish at points where they are taken out
