THE PRINCIPAL CAUSE.

It looks as though the principal cause for the internal disturbances over many states to- day. is the high cost of living. From the be- ginning of the European war. prices of all con- modities have gone up by leaps and bounds un- til they have reached a point where man with a family may be said to be facing starvation The increase was not due to the scarcity of food Stuffs either; but due to food spectators as the investigating commission has pointed out. Des bite all that. had We kept out of the war the peo- ple's patience would have endured and these dis turbances of today would not have occurred; at least for long time.
 When congress declared war the food spec uators took another hold on the people to ir- crease their gain Then the conseription act was passed; the liberty loan was called. taxes added; restrictions imposed and help asked of the people by the government. All that without performing a single act towards helping the peo- pies to free themselves from the stranglehold of the food spectators. This irritated many who took occasion to breed diScontent among the masses. Results-strikes everywhere.
 h our opinion. had congress been awaked when the European war vas declared attention would have been paid to the food speculators and by checking them that prosperity which for two years the country boasted of but which in real ity was prosperity merely in spots. would have been equally distributed The workingmen would have had plenty to do at good wages and paying only reasonable prices for food. would have saved and today would be ready to fight for their country Instead. congress allowed the manufacturers and food gamblers to line up their pockets while the people struggled to live The break however did not come unti1 conpreSs declared vaa before 1t had attended 10 the need of the people.

HOW STRANGE.

According to reports congress has passed m act whereby no grain shall be used to dlstlll beverages The grain heretofore used for that p,npose is to be saved for food which may be- come scarce before peace is restored Besides nrudence directs that we should save the grain in order to help feed our allies. No wiser act has ever been recorded to the credit of the law makers.

New York, April 29.-Leaders in the
major leagues found the going hard the
last week, with New York challenged
for the national championship by St.
Louis, and Chicago and Boston fight
ing hard for the first place in the
American. Except for Cleveland and
Philadelphia in the American. the big
league teams were about evenly
matched. Six in the National and four
in the American broke even on games
won and lost. Inclement weather has
caused the postponement of 10 games
in the two leagues.
New York's lead in the National was
cut down during the week, as Nc
Graw's men could only break even on
four games played. The series with

of the other western teams. Cincinnati
was the only National league team to
win more games than it lost. The Reds
took three out of five with Chicago and
broke even in two games against Pitts

Philadelphia was the best winning
team in the American league, cap
turing three out of four games. One
victory was gained over Washington
and two over New York. Bush pitched
the Mackmen to victory Monday and
Saturday. Chicago lost three games in
a row to Cleveland. Rowland's men

one run. one game was won on only
two hits.
The leading eastern teams, Boston
