War Prices in Washington.
the Editor Of The Star:

10 me Editor VI STAR.
Washington is no worse than the
average city in the matter of war
profiteering. The most common com
plant concerns rent profiteering: but
rents have advanced proportionateIy
less than other things, except where
renters have bid against one another
TO secure quarters supposed to be
fashionable or very conveniently
located Houses are scarce. but rooms
may be had in many locations at fair
prices. If any one wants to know
where these rooms are, read the
answer in The Stars
Boarding house keepers have been
accused of profiteering when they
charge s45 month for room and
board; but the government is charg-
ing the same price for its rooms for
war workers. Looking into history.
we find that war is always followed
by high prices. No one is to blame
except those who start the war. Wild
speculation and panic prices would
have come but for the efforts of four
great banks, to wit: The Bank of
England. the Bank of France, the
Bank of Italy and our own federal
reserve THOMAS w. GlLMER.

Y. w. C. A. Work in South America
0 the Editor of Tie Star;

TO the Editor of Tie Star:
In your issue of Thursday, January
%, you printed a picture of Mrs. Ida
Clyde Clark, with the statement: she
has been appointed by the Y. w. c. A.
to make a tour of South American
countries. sailing on January IS. The
Y. w. c. A. has set on foot a move
ment to- extend it's sphere to India
and South American countries. Mrs.
Clark is the first of its foreign repre-
sentatives selected and her mission
is to South America"
I wish to correct the impression
therein conveyed that the Y w. C. A.
has had heretofore no work in South
America. In reality, there has been
an association in Buenos Aires for
the past fourteen years, which was
organized by Miss Jean Beatty, who,
after an interval in this country of Z.
few years, has just sailed to organ
ize the first association in Brazil
which will be located at Rio de
Janeiro.
One of the general secretaries III
Buenos Aires was Miss Mary Thomas,
sister of DR.. Ada r. Thomas of this
city. The work of Miss Elisa Cortez,
another secretary. has been specially
commended for it's international char.
acter by Mr.. John Barrett, director
general, and F. A. Yanes, assistant
director, of the Pan American Union.
For over a decade the Washington
Y. w. c. A. has aided materially in
the support of the general secretary
in our sister republic.
Mrs. Clark is visiting the principal
cities of South America to study the
condition of women therein as a pre-
liminary to further extending the
work of the Y. w. c. A. in that con-
tinent.

The taxable property will be assessed
the coming year at aroung 5000, 900

a revenue of about $4,000. 900. In ad-

JUST PLAIN TALK.

DIR. Frank Frame, writing in the New York
Globe, under the caption of plain Talk to Mr..
Bolshy," gives this sound advice:
Just little plain talk with you, Mr.. Bolshy
if you please.
You have been complaining about everything
and everybody till it has got on my nerves. You
objected to the war, you objected to Baker, you
objected to Daniels, you objected to Wilson go
ing abroad and to what he did when he came
home you found fault with everybody that has
done anything recently.
America also seems to you bum country, and
the only tire democracy is in Russia.
You don't like the League of Nations nor the
Victory Loan. Government control of the rail
ways, telegraphs and express companies is the
bright particular target for your sneers.
And so on.
Now listen!
We don't have an Ideal Government in this
U. S. A. We don't claim to have one. And the
reason is that we don't want one.
But we've the kind of government the people
voted for. Please get that. We don't know
everything, we have not arrived at perfection,
and government is like us-just muddling
along doing the best it can under the circum-
stances.
That, my friend, is democracy-doing the task
in hand as best we can, meeting crises not with
excellent theories but with practical intelligence
You rail at the government because it has not
made any money running the railroads. It did
not take over the railroads to earn money, but
to win the war.
It had a certain, definite purpose, to transport
men and supplies needed to lick Germany re-
CARELESS of expense.
The U. S. A. has been doing everything "re-
CARELESS of expense since it jumped into the
war. And that is why we won We were the
nation that did not have to count the cost We
were ready to put up our last man and our last
dollar, and do it quick
You complain of taxes and expenses now. Just
think back few years Would you not have
mortgaged your farm and pawned your watch
to fend off a German victory?
You are getting out of it pretty cheap, friend
Bolshy. You are sitting in peace under your
own vine and fig tree and the kaiser's heuten-
ants are not bossing YOU The power of the Hun
is broken and the world breathes free. Isn't it
worth the price?
And as regards Wilson, Daniels Baker and
company, l suppose they have made mistakes
and have their limitations, but I call your atten-
ton to just one fact
They put it over!
With Daniels in the navy and Baker in the
army, managing things, this country did the
most magnificent piece of business ever seen.
We got two million men across 5000 miles of
ocean almost over night, walloped the enemy,
and are bringing them back. Of course the Sec
retaries of the army and navy and the President
may have been all wrong, small men, incompe-
tent, and all that and lot of fellows, including
you, could have done it better, but they did it.
Furthermore, if you don't like this country, its
laws, its officials, and its ways, you pick out
the country in Europe that suits you and go
there. You have my permission.
Don't hurry. Here's your hat just pull the
door to after you.

preparations look large. but it must
be remembered that Florida is a large
and growing state and in a few years
the appropriations made now will look
insignificant as compared to what It
will then require to maintain the state
government, the institutions or high
er learning, the school system and
other institutions.
