A DEMocRAT-REPUBLICAN

THE next time orators of the Repubh-
L can city committee eXtOl the virtues
of Regularity and the necessity of keep
ing Republicans in control Of the city
and county offices somebody is likely to
fire uncomfortable questions at them.
What must the boys" think of that
doctrine now that the leaders have slated
Daniel Wade, until recently an active
Democratic partisan, for one of the rich
est plums on the ticket, the shrevalty,
which carries $4,000 a year?
What is the change which has come
over Mr.. Wade's standing as a political
adherent since four years ago, when he
ran as the Democratic candidate against
W. Freeand Kendrick for receiver of
taxes? Why do the leaders pick him for
preferment over the scores of organiza-
tion handymen who have, borne the heat
and burden of the battle year in and
year out?
Perhaps that stalwart of stalwart Re-
publicans, Uncle Dave Lane, can inter
pret the lesson and the moral. The
"boys" surely will want to know.

THE ROOT OF THE TROUBLE

NEXT to the war, strikes have become
: ' the most destructive force that civili-
zation has had to contend with in this
generation.
Congress may help to make living
costs more tolerable, But so long as pro-
duction is being hampered everywhere in
the world there can be no consistent ap-
proach to normal conditions.
Coal, woolens, food, leather and other
essentials will be harder to obtain so
long as labor troubles here and in Europe
keep the producers in idleness.
England is producing hardly any tex
tiles and little coal. Even street-car
strikes impede production by bringing
about extended interruptions. of work in
big cities.
When will all the factors of industry
learn the folly of strikes and turn per
manently to sensible ways of adjusting
grievances

A TEST CASE OF HoARDlNG

THE seizure of ffty-two calves in Nor
- ris & Co.'S cold-storage warehouse in
this city on the charge that they have
been boarded for more than a year in
order to keep up the price gives the
courts an opportunity to test the anti
boarding provisions of the Lever law.
The penalty for the alleged offense is
fine of not to exceed $4,000 or imprson-
ment for not to exceed two years or both
fine and Imprisonment.
The impression is widespread that the
five big packers control the meat supply
of the country and manipulate prices to
suit themselves. They are charged with
keeping meat from the market in order
to initiate the prices.
We have in the seizure of the calves a
specific case in which the facts seem to
be clear. The meat was kept in Chicago
from August 10 of last year till January
% of this year, when it was brought to
this city. The market has not at any
time been overstocked with meat. Prices
have been consistently high during all
that time and they are higher now than
they were year ago, but the meat was
not offered for sale.
IL it is possible to convict Morris G.
Co. on the evidence at hand there may
be freer movement of meat from the
packing houses to the dinner tables, and
at fairer prices.
