fancy stitching, and little crochet but

an actual fight on him deter him from
going after the nomination.
The same thing is true regarding Muir
ply of Tammany, who is the dominant
power in Democracy. He has no love
for Hearst, but he has a decided fear of
what Hearst, working through Mayor
Hylan, could accomplish against him.
The upstate men have sought TO show
Murphy how his mind should be made up,
even to including in the list of eligibles
the name Of CAP Smith, who is Tam
many's favorite son. That may be sua-
sion, but it is not powerful enough to be
convincing. Murphy knows what he will
get if he opposes Hearst-a bitter pat
ronage fight. The upstate men have
stopped short of showing him that he
will get a fight if he does not oppose
Hearst
What the upstaters have DONE then,
amounts to little--practically to nothing.
They are too hesitant. Hearstism can
not be dealt with tenderly. You have
to seize it by the neck, deftly, and be
very careful.

The representatives of upstate Democ-

Syracuse have shown formally their dis
inclination to have Hearst as their can

eligibles, of whom Hearst is not one But
they refused to adopt resolution pro
posed by one of their number which would
have put them on record against Hearst.
This temporizing is strange. 1t is not

Hearst which will defeat him if he

Women Whose Men Are Fighting

There is frequently repeated the argu-
ment that now is no time to bother Civ
ing women the vote. Let them wait unit!
Then the Senate Of the United States
can find an hour or so in which to vote
the necessary votes.
We think, whatever other errors this
point Of view includes, that it commits
an objectionable blunder in ignoring the
especially urgent reason why many
women should receive the vote at the
earliest possible moment. We are think
ing of the mothers, wives and sisters Of
our fighting men. 1t is impossible to
obtain the full ballot of men under arms,
even of the living. For those who are
dead there is no voice to speak save that
of the surviving relatives at home.
Soldiers letters are by far the best
bond of opinion across seas. There are
few enough homes in America which are

NEW YORK TRIBUNE FRIDAY. JULY IL, 1913

public the meat they buy for less than
what they pay. Regulation of packers
profits below one cent pound would be
perhaps an impossible task. But the
aggregate profits can be and are being
reached by the excess profits tax. And
that is the way to meet this problem. AS
to the food trades generally, Administra-
tor Hoover gives this official testimony:
IL am convinced that the unreasonable
profits, since regulations as to reasona-
bic margins on various commodity opera
tons were established, have greatly di
minished, scientifically worked out in
dex shows in the margin between the
prices received by the producer and those
received by wholesalers for the prepared
foods a reduction of approximately 80 per
cent during the last year"
But Mr.. Hoover warns the Senators,
and through them the public, that. SO
strong is the outside pressure, all govern
ment officials are in danger of reducing
the margin so low as "to endanger pro
duction." He observes:
"1n an effort to prevent profteering
and secure the best terms these arrange
ments are elaborated to cover all sorts
Of conditions, and the economic reactions
from this paternalsm are often bad. If
there were a strong excess profits tax on
war profits all these measures could be
formulated with a broader hand and
real reduction of government interfer-
ence."
We are interested to ask why, as q
member of the Administration, MIR. Hoo
yer should be moved to write this un-
usual letter. Some Of our more thought
full readers will recur, in their minds, to
an amazing document issued ten or
twelve days ago by the Federal Trade
Commission, setting forth the idea that
we are being scandalously robbed by
plundering profiteers very largely in the
meat milling and food trades, or pre-
cisely those trades of which Mr.. Hoover
has the most intimate knowledge.
If what Mr.. Hoover says is true, we
think it fair to characterize the "report'
of the Federal Trade Commission as a
sensation seeking, scandal monger.ng
document, disgrace to it's authors and
to the Administration. 1t was most won-
derful provender for all the cracked
pots, and hysterical, the evil-minded and
trouble-seebing elements in the nation
Was Mr.. Hoover's letter put forth to
counteract it's evil effects?
Because of the considerable emotion
often introduced into tax discussions he
says, "it seems worth while to distin-
guish between the moral and economic
phases"
That is precisely what the emotional
Federal Trade Commission did not do.

His Great
Campaigns

In the meantime, less violently and
more willy, Hearst made campaign
against everything that could serve the
Allies and for everything that could
serve Germany.

British loan of September, 19l5-"Citi-
zens, let US refuse to loan to those mur-
derous madmen (fous homicides) of
Europe single dollar until they will be
cured Of their lunacy of war"
Campaign that America forbid the ex
portation of nun tions to Europe No
cannons! no munitionsl Peace could be
concluded in thirty days if the United
States refused to send arms for the pro-
longation Of the war"

United States that the Americans would
not have tolerated a word wounding the
nation whom they are surrounding by
sort of sacred cult. NJ. Hearst did not
blaspheme against France simply be-
cause he did not dare to do it--that's
all! But he did everything else.
On November 18, 1914, he came out with
the following expression in his San Fran
cisco paper, "The Examiner about the
sacred nation, Belgium: "The Belgians
must lay the blame on themselves if they
are victims Of the war. They wanted to

Hoover Replies TO the Federal Trade
Commission

If there is any man in the United
States who knows intimately about prof
lteering it should be Food Administrator
Herbert c. Hoover. He has ski1fullv
and with great energy built up an or
ganlzation with enormous ramifcations.
1t extends all over the nation. 1t reaches
into the homes of the nation and it deals
precisely with the lines of business Of
most intimate concern to all the people,
and precisely the field in which the
grossest profiteering has been charged.
The papers of yesterday made public
Mr. Hoover's letter to the chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee. The subject
was profteerng and how to deal with it
1t was letter of admirable clearness.
Lest some Of our readers did not consider
1T carefully, we call attention to few
paragraphs. Here is one:
81 do not think it will be denied that
our whole production and distribution
system is based earning of profits. and
that it is primary thing to say that the
distribution system has got to proceed on
this basis and that therefore normal
profits are not immoral"
Mr.. Hoover goes on to say that the
government in all it's departments is en-
deavoring with every means to reduce
prohteering through regulation and trade
agreements, "and with a great measure
OF success" But regardless of prices
however high, or of profits, however
large, zoe mast haze the goods with
which to fight the war. We must Dro-
dssce. So, according to Mr. Hoover:
"ln the face of shortage-and we are
short of most commodities to-day-the
maximum production of that commod ty
Is positively essential. In government
regulation, to safeguard production. all
prohts or prices must be based either di-
rectly through price or indirectly through
profits, on the stimulation of production
Inc consequence is that it is necessary
to set these standards sufficiently high to
maintain and stimulate certain level Of
high-cost producerst'
What may be high profit to one farmer
or one factory owner may be very mar
row margin or a loss for another. So
Mr. Hoover goes on to say that while
regulation may be necessary in manv de-
partments to prevent runaway markets
and curb vicious speculation, there is no
way OF getting at what he terms the Gin
termediate situations except through
an excess profits tax. Of especial inter
est is what he has to say about the meat
packers-the "beef trust:
This is typically the case in the meat
packing industry. The five large con-
Germs together kill about 40 per cent of
the animals of the country They will
this year produce about 100000 OO0
pounds of meat products. They are so
regulated as to profits on animal business
Gin fact, all business except FOREIGN
holdings and non-food business) that
their earnings could not exceed one cent
pound OF meat products produced"
A profit of one cent pound may not
be vital to the buyers of meat at 80 40
so cents a pound, and more. But it
means very high aggregate profits to
those packing companies which are SO
highly organized that by the sales of by
products they can actually resell to the
