Owing to the absence Of Mr., Barnes

Owing to the absence Of Mr.. Barnes
and Mr.. Bishop, the school board
found itself minus quorum at the
regular meeting last night, and il was
adjourned until Thursday night, when
MI. Bishop win have returned from
Pendleton. There are number Of very
important matters coming before the
meeting. including the election OF
teachers, the vexed problem of the
salary schedule and the matter of new
buildings for the Junior high schools
As previously intimated, the citizens
who are interested in the matter of
gymnasium buildings have been busy
during the past two days and have
secured large number of signatures
on petitions calling for the submitting
of the question to the taxpayers. From
the reports brought in by those who
circulated the petitions, there seems to
be general sentiment in favor of the
new buildings, although they mean the
addition of at least $4,000 to the bud
get Of 1919.

A Dissertation on Honey
(Fyom The Toronto Gyobe)

ftron 1hc Toronto ClObe)
British Columbia's production of $4,000
pounds of honey during the last season is q
palatabe addition to our stocks of food.
That province has not been long in the
honey business. but the yield shows an in
crease of 10000 pounds over the previous
year, and is particularly welcome at time
of shortage in sweets
Honey, from time immemorial, has been
an article of food. In Palestine, "the land
flowing with milk and honey" wild bees are
very numerous, especially in the wilderness
OF Judea, where John the Baptist lived on
locusts and wild honey, and it still, for
many of the inhabitants, is a means of sub
sstence. 1t is doubtful, however, if this
wild honey would suit our cultivated tastes.
The honey most celebrated among the an
clients was that of Mount Hymettus, in At
tica, and Professor j. P. Mahaffy as a
Greek scholar, felt bound to examine it
when he was in Greece. "The honey of
Hymettus," he said (Which was our dailv
food at Athens, is now not very remarkable
either for color flavor. 1t is very dark
and not by any means so good as the honey
produced in other parts of Greece-not to
say on the heather hills of Scotland and
ireland. 1t IS all matter of TASTE and
Professor Mahatfy, as good Irshman,
stood up for the product of his own coun-
try, but he probably never tried the de-
licious white honey of Canada.
In Ontario it has been found that the
best product comes from the ordinary white
clover, such appears on our lawns. but
all honey improves by intelligent cutiva-
tion and care. There are now in this prov
ince over eight thousand beekeepers, and
though the precise figures are not available.
it is estimated that the product this wear
amounted to about five million pounds. Az
the average wholesale price was about 25
cents a pound it will be seen that the in
dustrous bee made a substantial contribu-
tion to the pleasure as we'll as to the needs
of the province.

life or letters was brought to him. his wide
sympathy with any phase of life, provided
always that it natural and healthy
these are known of all men, but because he
drank delight of battle with his peers, and
was often vehement in praise or blame he
was not always credited with a gentler self
which as real.

his passionate pity for what he thought the

wants, his understanding and love of ami
mals-all these were as much a part of him
as the other self that was always ready to

market. 1t is in reality the worlds clear
ing house When exchanges run against
England and the gold outflow begins the
Bank of England promptly raises the Off
cial loan rate in order to attract gold
from other countries. Save in a few rare
instances, this has been wellnigh perfect
device, and it acts as price leveller for
the whole trading world. Actually, it has
meant also that, in spite of remarkable
differences in wages and costs of produc-
ton, it tended to equaize and stabilize
the costs and prices of goods in the most
distant countries.
The issue of paper currencies by the
different governments has been Of very
unequal volume, with a corresponding
effect upon upon prices. Thus the Ger
man exchange is at discount of about
so per cent, while that of France, which
likewise has very large paper issue, has
been maintained at near par. 1t is evil
dent that large foreign exchanges are
possible only in terms of "real prices"
that is, in equivalent amounts Of human
labor and intelligence, and not in the
nominal prices of national currencies.
How an international exchange bank
could rectify or balance the existing dis
crepancies, is not clear. .
New-York tribune., 1919-01-08
Means to City Ownership

For five months, it appears, the Mayor,
the Corporation Counsel and a represent
ative of Mr.. Hearst and Mr.. Shonts have
been comforting on how to sell out the
Interborough's lines to the city, appar-
emily on the basis of their present CAPT
talization. But, first of all, the city was
to allow the roads an increase to an
eight cent fare. To have raised fares
after municipal ownership was an ac-
complished fact would naturally have
caused a terrific howl 1t would have
been bad. politics. So the Interborough's s
income was to be increased by sixty
per cent raise in fares, and then the Hy-
Ian administration was to step in-os-
tensibly, no doubt-to protect the public
from the "rapacity" of the traction COM
panies!
1t further appears that far back in
last year the War Finance Corporation
urged the city to allow an increase of
fares in order that it might feel warrant
ed in making the Interborough a loan
and also to avert a possible receivership
to the company. According to the Inter
borough's attorney they were told by
the Mayor, or Mr.. Craig, that they (the
two named) would not regard a receiver
ship of the Interborough cas- an unmixed
evil" In other words, the traction COM
pany could enter into an agreement to
sell or it could go hang

The War of the Depredators

The ideas and findings in one field of
human endeavor often remain quite un--
known to another in which they might be
of great service and shed much light.
Many years ago a French philosopher,
Count Gobineau, sought to explain many
events of history as due to the natural
antagonisms of the different strata in
the social order and that these "casses,"
or strata, really represent essentially diff
ferent races, the roots of which reach
back into the most distant times.
Some twenty years ago new school of
sociology endeavored to give practical
body to Gobineau's ideas by wide invest-
cations into the physical differences of
the different social groups-the workers,
the capitalists, the thinkers and so on.
And more recently still Professor Will
lam Bateson, one of the most dstin-
guished of English biologists, in notable
address, gave the Endorsement of the
findings in his field to these fundamental
ideas.
Count GobineaU, for example, viewed
the French Revolution as in reality
race war. In his view Karl Marks ideas
of class warfare had essentially the same
basis-that is, the war of the inferior
Glasses" or traces" upon the more cana
BILE. Embattled Germany of the moment,
with pitched battles in the streets Of Ber-
lin, is vivid example Of the thesis. 1t
is obviously a struggle between the ex-
tremists-the irreconcilables, the under
world-and those who command the pres
ent-day industrial and business armies.
or, if you please the overworld.
Professor Irving Fisher, in the address
quoted in Tuesdays Tribune, remarked
that: "Whatever we may say of theo-
retical socialism, it is in reality the red
flag of class war" In very large num-
Der of it's followers the basic thought is
the determination not only of capital
ism but of capitalists and of all prop
erty classes whatsoever. In large sense
it is not Socialism but pure anarchism
the warfare of depredators and plum
derers on the more favored and more
capable groups of society. They propose
it as war of determination. Why should
it not be frankly so recognized and dealt
with accordingly?
New-York tribune., 1919-01-08
Never To Be Theirs Agar,

Whatever accounting is to be made when
the war is over for enemy property taken
here during the war, so far as that ac-
counting affects investment in American
industry, must be for the money value
thereof and not for the thing itself,
Without attempting to prophesy what
may be done with the proceeds, for this
must remain to be settled by the treaty of
peuce. it is safe to say that the business
which the Germans built up in America will
be forever lost to them.
No other course is compatible with the
safety of American institutions. No other
course will make the American field of in
dustry and commerce safe for democracy"
for the German autocracy was quite as ap-
parent in it's economic exploitation of the
world in its governmental and military
domination of Central Europe.
New-York tribune., 1919-01-08
In Chemical Lines

No domestic encouragement of any sort
can operate to build up an American bus-
ness in the face Of such conditions. This
was particularly true in all chemical lines.
We have to confess, think, that Germany
has been ahead of America in the com
mercia application of the science of chem
istry. The great dycstuf, pharmaceutical
and chemical business which Germany built
up gave her a practical monopoly of the
American markets, either because she CON
trolled subsidiary corporations here which
were permitted to use some of her patents
or because she effectualy shut off Ameri-
can effort by preventing the development
of chemistry and it's in industry in
New-York tribune., 1919-01-08
Ouer the Top

1t thus became possible for the Alien
Property Custodian to proceed to carry
out his purpose to sell at public auction
to American citizens all of the interest
of enemy persons in American industrial
and commercial businesses, where that in
terest was large enough to either influence
or control the business
No greater favor could have been shown
to Germany than by carefully managing
and conserving these enemy properties as
against the time when, at the conclusion
of the war upon accounting for the prop
critics in kind, the former German owners
could take up the invasion of American
industry and commerce on the very salient
which they had driven in before the war
And by the same token counter thrust
of no mean force was directed upon the
enemy when we began thoroughly to
Americanize those industries. We gave
notice that it would be necessary for
German capital at least to start all over
again in its efforts to get a foothod upon
American Industry and commerce
