never involved their personal comfort.
1t related rather to utilizing for the
public benefit the fruits of the expert
ence they had gathered while occupy
ing the White House.
As a matter of fact, our ex-Presi
dents. on the personal score, have, with
few exceptions, found agreeable work
to their hands, and done it we'll. If
Grant stumbled it was because of his
unfamiliarity with the civil life Of his
later day. He had been reared SOL
der, and out of the Army never pros
pered. His judgment of men was best
suited to war purposes.
We should pay all of our public
servants we'll, those filling the small
as well as those filling the large places.
As rule. they earn more than they re-
.ceive. Congress, indeed. could do no
better thing than revise the govern
ment's whole salary list from bottom
to top, and make the figures fit the
living conditions of time when the
governments business is enormous in
and much of it complicated
and exacting in kind. The competent
laborer, conspicuously at this day, is
worthy of his hire, and his hire should
fit his labor.

Food Price Fluctuations.

Wide ranges in the local food mar.
kets are noted recently. Tomatoes, for
example, sold at from $50 to So a
box on Monday, and from 81 to $3.50
box on Tuesday. The reason for this
sharp fluctuation is not Forthcoming.
1t may be assumed, however, that it
was due to some exceptional conges-
ton of the market. This. in turn, may
have been due to the fact that the
public would not buy at the high rate
of Monday. Some method of price
sterilization is plainly needed. That
the So box rate is not justifable is
evidenced by the fact that it was pos
sible to put tomatoes in the market
for So box less within twenty four
hours.
When tomatoes were selling at IS
a box wholesale retailers were paw
ing 20 cents a pound and demanding
30 cents, so per cent gross profit.
When they were selling at the rates
prevailing Tuesday the retailers paid
llA cents pound and sold at from
ID to 20 cents, profit of from 80 to
approximately so per cent.
Thus it appears that there is no
security for the consumer in the mar
ket today, either as to wholesale prices
or as to retail rates. There is no con
troll at all over the commission mar
kets. There is some doubt even
whether competition has a governing
influence. Save in the established re-
tail public markets there is virtually
no competition. The neighborhood re-
taller can sell at practically his own
rates, for the average housewife, deal
ing there, cannot seek quotations and
bargain.
With regular transportation, good
weather and good crop there is no
reason why the Washington market
should not be abundantly supplied,
so regularly as to avoid sharp, spas
modic price increases. The District
Commissioners, having jurisdiction
over certain public markets, can do
something toward price sterilization.
1t is, however, up to the public to
watch the prices carefully, to note the
reasons alleged for advances, and safe
guard itself against extortion by re-
fusing to buy when the prices are I'M
warrantedly jumped and by avoiding
those establishments where instant ad-
vantage is taken Of every wholesale ad-
vance and concessions are granted only
slowly when the wholesale price falls.

The Italian Food Riots.

1t is declared in Rome that the out
breaks that have prevailed in several
Italian cities in the past few days are
purely economic in character and in
nowise political. This would seem to
be borne out by the descriptions of the
riots that have taken place in Flor
ence, Milan and elsewhere. In every
instance the object of attack has been
the food vendors, who are charged with
gross profteering. There seems, how
ever, to have been a certain similar
ity of procedure suggestive of an I'M
Outstanding, and it would not be sur
prising to learn that these demonstra
tons have been centrally organized.
The government, which appeared rather
slack at first in meeting the situation,
has adopted more vigorous course,
and troops are now being used to put
down the riots and restore order. The
intimation is conveyed in the reports
that the government rather permitted
the riots to develop to a certain point,
rs means of letting off the steam of
public Indignation. If so a great risk
was run, as socialistic tendencies are
apparent in Italy and revolutionary
movement might readily spring from
such conditions. 1t would be most I'M
desirable at this state Of affairs to
find Italy in turmoil of insurrection.

President Wilson at Home.

"Home at last" exclaimed the Presi-
dent as he stepped from the train at
Union station last night Earlier in
the day he had expressed his great de-
light at his homecoming on the occa-
sion of the welcome in New York.
There can be no doubt of the sincerity
of his emotion. He has been absent,
save for a few days in February and
March. since the Sd of December. more
has participated i'll mOmentous pro-
eeeding, the most important interna-
tional gathering in history, and exer-
eised in that conference a potent in
tuence. has been factor of first i'm
portanee in the framing of the treaty
OF peace, has received unequaled at
tentions and courtesies, has been busily
occupied continually.
Now he returns to resume the ordi-
nary duties of his Office and partieu-
larly to lay before the Senate officially
the treaty of peace, which carries no
surprises, but which is certain to pre-
c:pitate d sharp contest. The Presi-
dent does not return to easy duties.
For several weeks he will be in the
center of struggle for and against
ratification without reservation.
As to the outcome of the contest in
the Senate no one can now foretell
with confidence. The issue does not
rest with the treaty terms proper,
those provisions that relate to the pun
ishment and limitation of Germany
and the administering of justice.
We're the treaty itself in its bearing
upon Germany alone before the Senate
there would be no doubt as to the out
come Ratification would follow quick
ly. But coupled with the peace terms
is the covenant for the league of ma
tons, against which serious objec
tions have been filed. Apparently
there can be no separation. The in
strument must be considered as a
whole.
Ratification requires vote of two
thirds of the Senate. It is proposed
that the Senate shall by a majority
vote declare itself for reservations on
the score of the league of nations. The
Knox resolution, aiming at this point,
is still pending in the Senate. A dec
laration Of reservation by the Senate
will not in itself be binding. Rati-
fication will be binding as to the prin
ciple. Congress may in its own right
declare the policy Of the United
States. One branch of the Congress
cannot do so. save the Senate in the
exercise of it's constitutional duty of
treaty making jointly with the Presi-
dent.

Salary and Public Service.

The salary attaching to the presi
dency has never figured in the calcu-
lations of any aspirant for the Office.
and, we may all be sure, never will.
Fortunately for the country, the Office
is such, and men with the slightest ex
cuse for lifting their eyes TO it are so
constituted, that money reward as an
incentive for seeking the high prefer
ment is barred. Not that in this case
there is exception TO the rule that the
lahorer is worthy of his hire and ex-
poets his hire. but that the service
makes an appeal separate and apart
from all money considerations.

Hohenzollern's Trial.

limitations are conveyed in various
dispatches from Paris that the de-
cision to try HohenzolleIn in London
was reached by the supreme council at
Paris as a sort of compromise. There
was natural desire on the part of
the French to hold the trial in Paris
as an act of fitting justice. Others,
however, proposed that it would be un-
seemly to try the former kaiser at
the French capital on the ground Of the
intense passion felt by the French peo-
pie against him. Accordingly, Wash
ington was proposed, and doubtless
this city would have been chosen but
for the objection of President Will
son, who felt that the trial of the kai-
ser was strictly European matter
in which the United States should
take no part directly. And 40 il was
that, according to one dispatch. Lloyd
George proposed London an the scene
Of the trial and to this there was no
denial. In fact, it is stated, the selec-
ton of London was only by tacit agree
ment and not by explicit action by
the council. which doubtless accounts
for the fact that surprise was mani,
tested by certain of the delegates
when Lloyd George made his dramatic
announcement in the house Of com
mons that Hohenzollern would be tried
