Fair Prices for Meat

If the understanding arrived at yes
terday between representatives of $500
butchers and Arthur Williams, Federal
Food Administrator, is correctly de-
scribed a butcher is to be considered
'fair" if he charges no more to his retail
customers then specifedmargin over the
prices he pays to the meat wholesalers.
The schedule as published permits him
to collect from customer the wholesale
price plus 13 cents pound for chuck
steak, "a cents for the best roast beef,
II cents for sirloin steak, IA cents on
legs of mutton, 13 cents on breakfast
bacon, and SO on.
The buyer who purchases an eight
pound roast will thus pay $1.92 to the
butcher for service and for profit; if he
buys three pound sirloin the butcher
will get 81 cents for service and profit,
and for ten-pound fitch of bacon
the butcher, for wrapping the package
(for the system is "cash and carry and
provides for no delivery, gets $3.50. 1t
does not seem as if the "fair price"
schedule is unduly oppressive of meat
venders.
On high authority we are told that the
big packers are unconscionabe robbers.
And the packers, exhibiting their books
to a series Of investigators, say that
they retain but cents out of every dol
lar they handle for profit and interest on
their investmfnt-that they pay $92
head for cattle and sell the meat there
from for $50, and survive only through
skilful use of by-products. Yet the re-
taiers, for a comparatively simple ser
VICE are authorized to retain approx
mately so cents out of every dollar they
handle 1t is most confusing.

The French Elections

Clemcnceau promised the Chamber Of
Deputies the other day that the member
ship of both branches of the French
parliament would be renewed before a
new President is chosen next January.
For the election Of Deputies q new sys-
tenn of representation has been adopt
cd. The system of small districts (ar-
rondissements}, each choosing single
mo 2ber, has been modified. Many big
ger districts have been formed, in which
three, -four, five or six Deputies are to
be elected on a general ticket, No candi-
date can run in more than one constitu-
ency. The shift to larger districts has
been made in the hope of obtaining bet
ter candidates and broader representa-
ton.
Another novelty has been introduced
That is representation of minorities
This device works out in the following
manner
The total vote is divided by the num-
ber Of seats-thc figure resulting being
called the Quotient. All candidates hay
ing an actual majority are elected OF
those having less than an absolute
majority two seats go to the highest
candidates and the party whose average
vote is twice the Quotient Seats then
90 to the highest candidates of the
weaker parties whose average vote ex-
ceeds the quotient.
Deputies, suppose that s9,9O4 votes are
cast. The quotient would be 1884. The
strongest party averaged 43,151 votes;
the next strongest 2S,500, and the weak
est 1890. If one candidate of the lead
ing party received more than a maioritv
he would get a seat. Two others of that
party would win because the average
party vote was twice the quotient. The
highest candidates of the two weaker
parties would then get certificates be-
cause the average vote of each exceeded
the quotient One seat would be left
over. 1t would go to the fourth highest
candidate of the leading party.
This scheme insures fair representa-
ton of the sentiment of each constitu-
ency. 1t will probably enlarge the men,
bership of the main groups in the Cham
Der and reduce the shadings between
parties, which have made ministries more
or less unstable. 1t is an interesting
modification of the principle of plurality
rule which obtains in most democratic
election systems.

General Louis Botha

General Louis Botha's career is q
striking tribute to the broad-minded tol-
orance and wisdom of British policy in
"0uth Africa. Botha was fighting
Boer-a sef-made soldier of remarkable
ability. He was in command Of the
Boer forces in the Ladysmith campaign,
and when the aged General Joubert died
he succeeded to the post of commander
in chief of the Orange Free State and
Transvaal armies. He maintained a
guerilla war against the British with
great energy and success. He won the
admiration of his opponents not only for
his tenacity and resourcefulness, but also
for his unfailing observance of the hu-
manties of warfare.
A brave and honorable foe, Botha ac-
cepted in good faith the Boer surrender
and became leader in reconstruction.
British policy encouraged men of his
stamp. He became one of the founders
of the autonomous Union of South Af-
rica, which, under his leadership, has
developed into loyal and powerful unit
in the British Empire
His work and the liberal statesman
ship at London which allowed him to do
his work bore it's fruits when Great
Britain declared war on Germany. Ger
many had established in German South
west Africa base from which to attack
British sovereignty in the Union. Propa-
ganda based on the animosties of the
Boer war had undermined the loyalty of
many of the old Boer leaders. De Wet
the "Stonewall" Jackson of the Boer
lost cause, succumbed to German sug-
gestions. He raised the standard of re-
hellion. But Botha, at the head of the
Union government, quickly hunted down
and dispersed the rebels. Had policy
OF repression been followed after the
Boer peace the whole of South Africa
might easily have become o-German
AS 1t was, the Maritz- Beyers- De Wet
revolt was snutfed out and Botha not
only conquered German Southwest Af
rica, but furnished the troops. under
General Smuts, which eventually broke
down German resistance in German East
Africa.
Botha vastly enlarged the British do
minions in Africa. He welded the
people of the Union as they had never
been welded before. He helped to estab
lish the power and prestige of the
governing British states-Canada,
the Australian Commonwealth and the
South African Union-and put new
vitality into the conception Of free as
sociation and friendly cooperation on
which the relations of these republican
states and the mother kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland are founded.
Botha completed the abors of Rhodes.
He and SHUTS were outstanding figures
at the Paris peace conference. The men

The Carnegie Will

The will of Andrew Carnegie, yester-
day filed for probate, furnishes a fitting
final chapter to romantic life. Brought
to this country by poor immigrant par
ents, bobbin boy in his early teens, a
stoker and fireman, and then telegraph
operator, Carnegie became millionaire
and multi millionaire, enjoying the dis
accumulation of wealth the world has
ever known.
Then, reaching with both hands into
the boxes containing his evidences of
ownership, he scattered the contents
until his benefactions reached in value
more than $35O,O00000; and at last,
when his testament was opened, it fur
nished evidence that he had retained
a mere working balance Of his business of
philanthropy, less than one-tenth of his
former possessions. The Scriptures
reckoned that a tthe squared accounts
with heaven; here was man who tithed
himself nine times. In his lifetime he
often met much scoffing and not a few
sneers. The scoffers and the sneerers
probably have queer feelings as they
read this morning.
ct IN q certain sense Andrew Car
negie never owned anything or gave
away anything. If he had kept in his
own name the wealth that stood there
its dynamic power would have continued
to do beneficent work The income would
have gone into works that by their mere
existence are to public advantage. This
income now supports vast number of
institutions and foundations and re-
moves wrinkles of care from vast army
Of pensioners who have been too busy
to make money. But wherever the title
was, the great steel works, carrying on
their vast labor Of improving the earth
as place of human habitation, would
have gone on. Our social fabric is so
interviewer that it is often difficult to
say whether it is better to give than
to keep. 1t would be calamity, as has
been discovered in other lands and times
to place all ownership in dead hands,
even though the motive were high and
noble. Colleges and libraries and founda-
tions are good things. but SO also are
railroads and terminals.
The rich men of America have been
diligent in making the most of oppor-
tunities spread before them. They have
accumulated with great zeal, but that, on
the whole. they have been mindful of the
claims of their silent partner, the public,
and have prevented dollar worship from
corroding their souls, is shown by gen
erosity without precedent. For the class

soon to be equalled

Main Things

The main things that this trip has i'm
pressed upon my mind is the absolute lack
of sound leadership in labor circles and
the failure of business men and the public
generally to realize the danger they are
courting in sitting idly by while the ex-
trenist movement sweeps on, gaining in
momentum every day.
However, in this connection l will say
that the recent demand of the railway
brothe rhoods for the control of the rail
roads of the whole country by the railway
workers has given. big jolt to the busi-
ness men in all parts Of the country; it
has made them sit up and rub their ewes
In the cities visited after the publication
OF the railway workers pronunciamento
found much evidence of alarm and really
healthy agitation of mind which promises
some sort of definite action in future.

False Leaders

1t is only beginning to dawn upon
these men that their shortsighted policy of
playing into the hands Of the radical labor
leaders is likely to cost them dearly in the
reckoning which is sure to come.
The fact is that they have provided the
extremist leaders who are now in control of
the labor situation with their strongest
weapon, and that weapon has been used
sparingly to force into the radical camp
many thousands of straight thinking work
ingmen who have no real sympathy with
their present leaders, and who would well
come chance to get on the right track.
False leaders and unsound theories are pre-
vailing, partly by sheer force of persistence,
but largely because of lack of leadership on
the side of common sense and justice.
To-day, by means of systematic organza-
tion and ceaseless activity, the radical labor
leaders are making headway in the Western
states, sweeping into line great numbers Of
wage earners-many of them property own
ers themselves-who would welcome a sound
er, saner programme if only one were pro-
vided

A curse almost as sweeping as that con-

O. course, there is no reason for debate

the covenant, but only for information as

What would have been said by such an
organ of public opinion as The World
if President Roosevelt had ever similarly
disregarded the spirit of the Constitu-
ton? What would Democratic Senators
now be saying if Charles E. Hughes had
been elected and he had ventured (as he
never would have done) to announce that
he would rule without consultation or re-
view of his acts? Yet The World and
forty-five out of forty-seven Democratic
members of the Senate are doing as they
are told to do so while denying they are
controlled by partisan or personal Amo-
tives.
The Senate had no option but to make
record that would be stumbling block
to usurpation. 1t might have been
brought to countenance a bad treaty, but
it was bound to fight to save the Const
tuition and a central principle of democ-
racy. Except for party pressure un-
scrupulously employed, it is doubtful if
ten Senators could be mustered to
countenance the proposed practical de-
struction of vital element Of our whole
scheme of government.

cuss junkerism. One of the things at
stake at Washington is whether junker
