School Yard Markets.

Fifteen school yards are to be util-
lied as public markets in Washington
for the sale of farm produce from
Maryland and Virginia. The hope is
that the farmers will bring their
goods to these markets and offer them
for sale without recourse to middle
men. If they will do so and will sell
for the same prices that they get for
their produce when they deliver it to
wholesalers the public will buy freely
of them. The farmer must have his
profit. He must be paid for the cost
of raising the fruit and vegetables, the
cost Of hauling and margin Of gain.
The people viii, as a rule, be willing
to pay little more for produce di-
rectly to the farmer than he gets from
the wholesaler, in consideration of
gaining the difference between the
wholesalers price and the retailers.
Purchases made thus, directly from the
farmers cut out two profits.
At the public stands where the
farmers usually dispose Of their pro-
duee when they haul direct to the mar
ket prices are regulated by those that
prevail in the general market area.
This should not be the rule in the
school yard markets. Nothing will be-
gained for the public if ne raees
that obtain in the large markets, fixed
to great extent by the commission
houses, prevail at the school yards. The
only advantage will be some convent
ence of access, possibly the saving of
carfare. This experiment has posi-
bilities Of material relief to the peo-
pie Of Warrington.

Peremptory Wage Demands.


The peremptory demands Of the
railroad workers for increased pay on
tho score Of the higher living costs,
accompanied by simultaneous strikes
on some lines, put the matter Of wage
adjustments upon Q most inequitable
basis imaginable. These demands are
not accompanied by any demonstra-
ton Of particular needs on the part
of these workers. There has been no
showing Of special hardship suffered
by the railroad workers, as compared
with those of other lines of business.
Their cost Of living has not advanced
more than that Of the miners, or the
dry goods clerks, or the bookkeepers,
or the professional people. Yet, b.
cause they are thoroughly organized
and because the government is ct this
moment in control Of the railways, thsy
seek to compel large increase Of com.
pensation that more surely than in
any other line Of industry will react
upon the general consuming public in
the form Of higher costs.
II these workers were to ask for an
inquiry into their situation, with an
early increase in compensation con-
templated If their condition demands,
without threats Of strike, they would
be in much moro sound position be.

The Review at San Diego.

We think of the demonstration tax
ing place in the Pacific at San Diego
today as something for the western
section Of the country to consider. It
is that, and no mistake. The west
looks to the Pacific; counts on the Pa
cifc; wants the national authority and
prestige to be strong On that great
water. She greets something long
promised, and which long since should
have been realized.
But the demonstration should have
as lively interest for the east-the Sec
ton looking to the Atlantic. East and
west have a common stake in American
authority and prestige everywhere.
Both should feel, and do feel, keen
concern for all that makes for the ad-
vancement Of the country along the
lines Of genuine progress.
And why should not the world
that part at least which feels friendly
to America-rejoice with US in this
matter7 Why should it not see in the
Strengthening Of ourselves in the Pa.
cifc s contribution to world security
We are q world power. We have in
terests in both hemispheres. Our con-
tinental coast lines are very long. We
are meditating no aggressions. We
have not employed our Navy ct any
time as an instrument, of insolence or
oppression. @
We have just seen and noted the
value Of strength on the water. Tho
great majority Of the troops that
fought the war had to be transported
by sea. The journey Of the English
was short, but full of peril. : The
journey Of the Canadians and our jour.
ney were long, and full of peril.
Heavily armed sea escorts were i'm:
peratively necessary. Without them
the troops could not have been moved;
and We supplied 2 ,substantial portion
Of the escorts. Aa'Sa ~
There is a fervent hope that this
necessity may, never arise again. But
there is no guaranty that it will not.
Practical men nowhere arc expecting
an early dawn Of the millennium.
Other wars are expected; and allies
and antagonists may shift as interests
demand. Such has always been the
case. ;-
Let us, then, in our own behalf, and
in behalf Of the world, make. and
keep, ourselves strong on the water.
An adequate Navy will b IN assur-
ance of safety; will make our friend
ship worth while; will be . contribu-
ton to peace.
Our expenses are heavy. Our taxes
are high. Economy is a very proper,
and getting to be very popular, cry.
But there would be no economy in
stunting or starving 50 indispensable
an arm Of the national defense and
support as the Navy. An adequate
Navy, kept up to the mark, is q ma
tional necessity.

tude of a favored class, as they un-
doubtedly are now.
The precipitancy with which some
of the railroad people have struck
before the general question of rail-
road compensations could be consid-
cred in the light of all conditions has
profoundly shocked the country as an
indication that the discipline that is
supposed to accompany thorough or
ganization has to certain extent
broken down. The public cannot fail
to feel that it has no protection from
industrial paralysis in such a condi-
ton.

Shoe Prices and Profits.

b report by the Federal Trade Com
mission to Congress on the subject of
shoe prices states that excessive profits
have been made by all the factories in
production and distribution. The com.
mission lays the blame primarily on
the packers for unwarrsntedly increas-
ing the price Of hides. Then come the
tanners and next in turn the manu-
facturers and the retailers. It has
been a pyramiding process, the con-
reaer bearing the whole load Of the
6ver-increasing weight A mans shoe
that formerly cost IS can hardly be
bought today for $40. In women's shoes
particularly the advances have been
marked. A woman's shoe that formerly
could be bought for - now costs from
sl4 to $1s, and the qualities are not
Is good. Just where there is a diff.
ference between mems shoes and
women's shoes in the extraordinary
advance during the past three or four
years has never been explained.
sStyle" cannot account for all Of the
additional charge. Leather and labor
and rents might 60 up in price, but
style is not a movable factor, save al
3 camoufage. ~
In its report the Federal Trade Com
mission urges relief through three
remedies, rigid enforcement Of the
antitrust laws, the prohibition of pro-
dueers Of hides engaging in the tan
ming business, and the adoption Of q
device in shoe distribution that will
acquaint the consumer with the sell
ing prices of the manufacturer. As
for the first, there has never been .
time when the antitrust laws should
not have been enforced. Even in the
wartime, remission Of these statutes

posed to permit collusive price in.
