PROFITEERS TO PRISON.

One OF the most reasusring occurrences of re-
E<At weeks has been the conviction of two New
York commission merchants on the charge of prof
as1ng in the necessaries of lfe and their sentence
Ea . term in prison, The defendants were found
gguKty of selling at 22 IL cents pound sugar they
had bought at 3-4 cents pound. There has been
tn0 6ttle of this sort of action.
Prohteerng is the great evil of the present
Hnn@ Il is not one-sided thing. Nearly every
hod3 seems to be doing it, or trying to-a but the
hzgpiess consumers caught between the prohteer-
mg millstones of capital and labor. Many of the
ea=znands made in behalf of labor organizations
represent prohteerng just as surely as the prices
demanded by manufacturers, merchants, landlords

snal strike was merely fragrant attempt at forci-
ha= pTohteering the part of the miners
Prohteerng labor cannot be curbed unless
psohteering capital is curbed. Capital has sinned
m this respect than labor though labor oi
asse has seemed to be catching up and improving

THE MENSURGRAPH.

Fathers, according to an article in the Popu-
lar Science Monthly, are likely to make mistakes
when measuring their children. They may exclaim
proudly that the son has grown an inch when he
has grown only longitudinaly He may have lost
more latitudnally and, as one might say, thick
throughy, at the same time than he has gained in
height The total cubic contents of the child NAV
be less than before
To correct this difficulty, Dr. Theron Kilmer
OF New York, has invented what he calls men
surgraPh. He superimposes negative of screen
on a negative of the child. Both are printed to-
gether Future photographs of the child are print
ed with the screen and can easily be com
pared. The sizes of the whole body before and
after given period of months will readily show IN
their differences.
The method is also used for x-ray pictures oi
deformities. Progress in disease or in healing oi
diseased joint or a growth may be watched

is extremely useful. For normal children it seem.

WHY THE GOVERNORS DELAY?

More than three weeks ago Governor Dorsey

Edna Perkins Godbee, presented through her rela-

her ask ed for her paroe good people from many
paris of the state, including Americus, where Mrs
Isedbees daughter resides and where the real
story of her case is we'll known, asked her parole
The following day the Judge who sat during her

Freedom. Previously the entire prison commission
bad recommended her parole,
n the face of these facts, and the further de-
tails of the tragedy brought out at the hearing

UNCLE SAM TAKES CHARGE.

Secretary of Labor Wilson played a manly
and admirable part when he laid down the law of
J5alce and common sense with equal vigor, to
the coal miners and the operators at their new
conference in Washington.
He told the union officers the bitter truth
faat the 3Ohour week and the 90 per cent raise are
equally impossible the former because it would
h0nit production at time when increased produc-
tan IS sorely needed, and the latter because ii
"aDold put the miners out of line with the other
workers of the country" adding unjust burdens to
thear cost of living and giving the miners an un-
far advantage,

sympathy from none; sympathize with

grievances inspire no ode, his troubles are

an impossible one
While maintaining that the wartime contract

retary, remarked tactfully and truly that the peo-
pie of the United States are not Shylocks" Re-
gardless of technicaties the miners need more
money to meet the cost of living, though not so
much as they have demanded. They should have
what they need. They must make concessions, and
the operators must make concessions.
Both sides have been told sternly where they
get off The nation, through its federal govern
ment, has served notice that it will stand no more
nonsense from either capital or labor in
the coal industry. Now let the same stern right
eous and sane method be applied to other indus

Movement i'm 1919
Agricultural Society Sees

cling Returning Soldiers
Who Want Ito Be Farmers

"A great movement back to the soil on
the part of returning soldiers and de-
mobllized war workers this year is
forecast in the annual report, lust is
sued, of The Jewish Agricultural and
Industrial Aid Society.
The reasons for the belief are thus
set forth: "Thc pressing demand for
food has increased the returns from
the farm, thus making farming more
attractive and lucrative. This justifies
the hope that with the return of peace
stron movement toward the farm NAV
DC anticipated. Moreover, the desire
Tor farming is likely to become intensi-
lied amangst at least two classes. Sol
dlers, after many months of life in the
open, may find ii hard to accustom
themselves again to the factory, the
shop of the office; and workers in war
industries for whom farming has, be-
cause of lex of funds, hitherto been
an unrealzed dream, may now find in
thelr increased savings the road that
leads to their goal.
yet another factor presages new
stimulus to farming as solution Of
economic problems brought about in a
transitional period from war to peace.
Many small business people and work
lngmen, fearing lest reduction in
their wages, Il decrease in the volume
Of their trade, or perhaps a fall in the
prices of commodities, portends hard
times, will turn to the farm as Offering
better promise for future security.
And, should period of actual depres-
sion accompany oul era of readiust-
ment. many small business man will
see in farming means Of salvaging
his dwindling fortunes, and many an
unemployed laborer will resort to it to
check the ebb of his rapidly decreasing
savings What effect immigration will
have upon American agriculture de-
pcnds upon the policies of the Euro
pean countries with respect to emigra-
tlon and that of our own country with
respect to immigration.
at any rate, the effect is not likely
to be Immediate, for, even if migration
is to be unrestricted, the transporta-
tion of our returning soldiers will hard
ly leave sufficient shipping facilities to
bring imm igrants over in large volume
befor edemoblization has been Som-
plctcd. Leaving, then, the question of
immigration entirely OUT of considera-
ton, % strong drift toward the farm
is still indicated. 1t is to assist the
new farmers among the Jews to fit
themselves into their new calling that
Il large part of our energies in the i'm
mediate future will have to be d-
rected."

The proposal Of Director General
Hines that equipment company
creditors Of the railroads be financed
in their immediate. needs by tender
ing them ninety-day drafts, by
which are apparently meant ninety
day trade acceptances, has far
reaching interest. 1t would consti-
tute the greatest financing by means
of acceptances in the history Of the
intrument in this country. But it
is not suited as permanent method
of financing. The railroads could
perhaps buy their coal, lubricating
oil and other quickly consumable
supplies by means Of trade ac-
ceptances, and this method has been
sometimes recommended, but it is
not suitable for the financing of
equipment. The acceptance would
not be self-liquidating. The rail
roads do not resell the equipment.
They receive from it an income ex-
tending over series Of years, un-
til the car or locomotive is 80 de-
preciated or obsolete that it must be
scrapped. The acceptance" is
based on the funds which the Rail
road Administration expects to
make these eligible for rediscount
at the Federal Reserve banks. They
are not based on self-liquidating
commercial transactions, but the ac-
ceptance will be a government ac-
ceptance,a nd this may make them
legally eligible.
There is still good deal of con-
fusion as to how much railroad
financing there is to be done. 1t is
| not enlightening to talk Of $701 ,O00,-
600 or any other figure unless one
knows how much of this is needed to
pay bills already contracted and
overdue, how much to go ahead with
making new payments, for just how
long a time this money will carry
the railroads, and how much these
estimates depend on estimates Of the
railroad income to be received in the
future. Much recent comment on
railroad financing seems glaringly
to have overlooked the fact that the
Railroad Administration is receiv-
ing an income from operations from
which in normal times the railroads
have always been able to pay their
bills without waiting for an appro-
priation from Congress.
