Capt. Schneider's Appeal.

The Commissioners should weigh
carefully the appeal of former Capt.
Henry Schneider. of the Ninth pre-
cinct. who has been accused of trying
to effect an out-of-court settlement
with a man who has been indicted
for larceny. Capt. Schneider was
found guilty in the opinion of TIE. trial
board on conflicting evidence, and has
been removed from the police force.
In making his appeal to the Com
mlssioners. Capt. Schneider backs It
up with an unbhmished record of
twenty-six years standing and repu-
tation for integrity to which such
representative citizens testify: Cuno
II. Rudolph. former District Commits
sioner, and president OF the Second
National Bank; Capt. w. T. Ander-
son, of the Eleventh precinct; ]. II.
Hanna, vice president of the Capital
Traction Company, and the Rev. d.
II. Martin. pastor of Wesley Chapel.
The testimony of these prominent
men should be of sufficient force TO
guarantee to the deposed captain the
utmost consideration of his claim for
appeal

Home RIFLES CORPS
TO BE Permanent
Organization to Remain Intact After
War Is Over.

That the Home Rifles is to remain
a permanent institution after the war,
was made quite clear by Odell S.
Smith, deputy director for the Home
Defense League. In the course of an
address last week at the recruiting
rally Of the Southern railroad en-
ployes. He also laid stress upon the
fact that the organization was the
only one of its character recognized
by the District authorities.
The first meeting for organization
and drill OF Company Y. the South
ern railroad unit Of the Home Rifles,
will be held at s o'clock next Tues
day night in room col, Southern build
ing. About one hundred employees of
the railway corporation already have
enrolled for membership in the new
company, and it is expected that this
list will be increased materially from
the large number of men in the en-
ploy of the railroad company. as they
are taking such keen interest that
rifle range at Union Station before
the company has been organized.
p. B. Beach. an employe of the
Southern railroad. and the moving
spirit in the plan to form a company
from its ranks, probably will be made
captain, while Capt. Harry Walsh.
formerly of the District National
Guard. has been selected as drillmas-
ter. Both appointments are now un-
der consideration by headquarters.

The Copper Price.

President Wilson, the War In
dustries Board. and the copper pro-
ducers are to be congratulated on the
solution of the difficult task of fixing
the price of copper which they an
nounced last night.
The price is to be % and 1-2 cents
poUnd-to be revised after four
months, as conditions fiuctuate. The
first public impression will, be that
this price is startlingly low. Copper
has sold the present year at ss cents
pound, and would have been higher
than that II 1t had not been Under
stood that the government was to
undertake a drastic price-fxing cam
paign.
The copper producers have agreed
to the price. They have agreed to
sell their product at this price not
only to the government. but to the
allies. and to the general public; have
agreed not to reduce wages in the
slightest degree, and to stimulate in
every way a maximum production;
have agreed to cooperate with the
government in preventing spectators
from gaining control Of copper and
boosting the price to the private
purchaser.
All of which is a pretty big order
for a single day-almost an epochal
advance in the relations of govern
ment and business. Price-fixing Is a
war measure Profits must be held
within bounds. The curse of profiteer-
ing is one thing the Wilson ad-
ministration Is determined to avoid,
and it is succeeding admirably. We
have food control. fuel control. now
a rigid agreement as to copper prices,
and in a few more days a steel ad-
ministrator will be appointed.
War has Its great economic achieve
ments no less than peace. Perhaps.
when peace is restored to a bleeding
world. 1t will find much in the war
organization-such as the protection
OF the public from the extortion and
exploitation of selfish interests-which
it may profitably continue as a per-
manent part of the national fabric. 1t
sounds socialistic, but these are
socialistic days.

A CREAMY LOTION
MADE WITH LEMONS
Prepare a quarter pint at about
the cost of a small jar of
common cold cream.

When this homemade lemon lotion

Juice alone is acid, therefore irTitat-

a fine cloth the juice OF two fresh
lemons into a bottle containing about
three ounces of orchard white. then
shake well and you have whole
quarter pint of skin and complexion

pays for a small jar Of ordinary cold

Juice so no pulp gets into the bottle:
then this lotion will remain pure and

Any druggist will supply three

A Union of Farmers and Workers.

Here are two extracts from the
newspapers of yesterday:
Unless American business men for
get profits and drive out the profiteers
,said Mr.. Hoover in his Atlantic City
address,. they would see Socialism tri-
unphant and chaos like that in Rus
sia. The Food Administrator called
upon his audience of business men to
save the United States from the fate
Of Russia. which. he said. had been
brought about to a great extent by
the failure OF Industrial leaders to
provide necessities for the people"
And at the same time Theodore NJ.
Knappen writes thus to the New York
Tribune about the great convention OF
the National Nonpartisan League at
st. Paula convention of farmers and
workers to denounce profiteering and
talk over the high cost of living"
NO man here. today could hear
these impassioned speeches and watch
the rapture of the audience of farm
ers and labOring men and not sense
something of a portentious union of
the workers and the farmers TO ad-
vance political democracy to indus
trial democracy-to make a new world
on the ruins of the old"
Make no mistake-the farmers in
the West will be in the frame Of mind
which breeds revolution IL profiteerins
creers into the war. They are fighting
mad now because the price of wheat,
fixed at s2.2O a bushel. cuts out so
per cent of their war profits-a sacri-
flee they are willing to make provided
it falls on the industrial classes also,
but not if Wall Street wakes fat while
they are kept lean.
The East hears little of what is do
ing" on the plains and prairies of the
West. 1t heard last November, when.
to its amazement, certain of the prai-
rie States, counted as rock-ribbed
Republican strongholds. reelected
Woodrow Wilson to the Presidency.
Recovering from the shock, it prompt
ly let the West slip from its mind.
But it will hear again from the prai-
rie States shortly. They are not anti
war. not pacifist. not Stacker, but they
are bitterly opposed to war profits"
and to heavy bond issues rather than
heavy current taxaticI, such as in
come taxes. and unless Congress gives
heed to them they will have some
thing to say in the near future.

so managed that 1t may through CO.
operation and coordination not only
with New England transportation
systems. but with those of the rest
OF the United States, greatly aid the
government in this time of emer-
genCy.
Everything that has been done by
the American railroad managers
which has made II possible to report
the remarkable gains In service and
efficiency. reflects the work Of railway
managers acting in perfect agreement,
and SO acting that the various systems
"hich they represent are substantially
UNIFIED into one government service.
All this has been due to private inIti-
ative' personal energy and voluntary
service. for the railway managers who
nave been thus aiding the govern
ment receive no compensation for
their work, nor is there any indication
that the governmental authorities may
so act as TO enable the railroads to
increase their net revenue. While
the mile tonnage OF freight I'm June
was . per cent greater than last
year, nevertheless the railroads have
not received a penny additional in
come through increased charges for
transporting this freight. In fact,
while the large volume of business has
increased gross earnings. the much
greater expansion of operating ex-
penses has reduced net earnings
Mr.. Elliott said yesterday that
while 1t is vital that the United
States give to France, England and
Russia the railway equipment of which
they stand greatly in need, and which,
if supplied, will serve to end the war
more speedily. IL is essential that the
American people be patient with
respect to their own transporta-
ton machinery. For it Is impossible
for sufficient additions to be made
to the plants at present so that the
equipment industries can turn out as
rapidly as possible engines and cars
which our transportation service
needs.
