Carter Glass Patched "Pants'

The Virginia senate since Patrick Henry's
time has heard a good deal Of patriotic ora
tory, but nothing, we may suppose, more elo-
quent than Secretary Glass appeal for the
wearing of old clothes to beat the profteer.
Commencing the suggestion Of his predecessor,
w. G. McAdoo, who declared that I'VE should
use every effort to win the war, even though
we wore patched trousers" Mr.. Glass said:
mine are not patched, but they are old enough
to be. l expect to wear this suit FIVE years
longer if it will stand it,
If this is not a patriotic example, what is?
A suit of American clothes that will last five
years after reaching the patching state is per-
haps better suit than most people wear. But
the precedent is the important thing When a
man who superintends the spending of billions
of dollars stands ready to wear old clothes, the
rest of the public ought to be willing to make
the attempt. Most people, indeed, who tried
the experiment as a war conservation measure
were surprised to find how presentabe dis
carded suit could be.
If we are to combat prohteering we must
acquire the habit of strict economy and saw
ing" says Mr.. Glass. Certainly there need be
no false pride about wearing Of clothes after
the gloss is off. A people clad in patched
pants" worn for principle might even claim
an added self-respect and look upon the patch
as aton.-New York World

Why Food Prices Decline.

The power of the consumer over the cost Of
living is being felt In the hysterical proceed
ings that marked the earlier consideration of
the problem this factor was not given due
weight, but its steady and certain application
is now having effect. We are told that the
sharp decline in live hog values, accompanied
by similar slump in other provision and grain
prices is due to the fact that consumptive de-
mand has lessened. In plain words, the people
quit eating the high priced grub and turned to
something cheaper. European demand" that
was relied on to bolster up prices on this side
has evaporated, and between the two the price
boosters have been caught. Retailers have not
as yet felt the impulse, but very soon must real
ize, as have the packers and wholesalers that
the control of the consumer over the market is
absolute. And just soon as Mr.. Ultimate
Consumer gets so he understands how to apply
this control, the greater part of the cost of
living will have been put on basis where it
will be adjustable to conditions The buyer is
responsible in the main for undue prices, and
when he avoids extravaganza and resists ex-
tortion the seller will come hunting for him,
with inducements to purchase rather than re-
frain for economy's sake.

SavinQ the Dance

The dancing masters of the United States
have been saying some things OF plth and
worth during the convention of the National
Association of Masters of Dancing held at
New York. 1t has long seemed to many know
ing somewhat of dancing, its social and aes
thetic values, as we'll as its pleasures, that if
those recognized as preceptors and exemplars
would raise their voices and set their faces
against the progressive degradation Of dancing
in this country, progressive degradations would
cease. and the dance could be restored to its
old estate. This is not saying, Of course, that
there would not remain places where grace is
sacrificed to lewdness in the dance. Such
places always have and always will be found.
out of which have come dances easily to be
learned, without skill or grace, and serving only
the lewd purpose of their originators In the
low places of their origin.
The dancing masters must be charged with
a large degree of the responsibility for the con-
ditons which they now deplore. They have
yielded overmuch to the opportunities of young
people unwilling to take even the small pains
of acquiring those graceful steps and motions
which part of every dance worthy of the
orgies in which all pretense Of grace as we'll as
propriety is abandoned, and in which the awk-
ward can get by with as much of distinction as
the most graceful dancers.
The president of the Dancing Masters, Ma
tional association says that "the old waltz is
coming back There will be no new dances;
only few notifications" In truth, it is not
easy to imagine how new dances could be
made without including many of the motions
to be seen in the manifold waltz movements
of somewhat earlier day. A few even of these
waltz forms lent themselves too much to sug-
gestiveness, and, like all such Dances they were
the easiest to be learned. The professors may
meet with opposition in the effort to teach the
lesson that grace and beauty in the dance, like
all other good things, cannot be had without
work. but if they persist they can hardly fail
to win. Should they fail, dancing masters will
ere long find their occupation gone in gen
Grafton which will not think beauty and grace
to be indispensable requisites to dancing.-St,
Louis Globe Democrat

Invest IN a College

Present indications are that the enrolment
in colleges and universities this fall will be
larger than ever before. At the same time
the cost of higher education has increased in
proportion to everything else.
As institutions of learning are not corpora
tons organized for profit, they cannot set their
prices to keep pace with their costs. They must
either attempt to perform larger service with
inferior equipment and fewer teachers or appeal
to the public for the funds necessary to main
tain their standards and morale.
To all who are college graduates this crit
ical situation in higher education should come
home with special force. Every man or woman
who has spent four years at a college or unver-
sity owes his or her alma mater continuing
debt-not debt of gratitude alone, but debt
that it is possible in many cases to discharge
in more practical ways. For the service which
the college renders it's students it pays several
times over the sum which they pay in tuition
fees. 1t is. therefore, no more than simple
recognition of justice that the benehciaries of
higher education make return to the institution
which has done so much for them.
A man makes no better investment than the
amount that he puts into his education. In a
larger sense he can make no better investment
for his family, his country and the welfare and
stability of society in general than to contribute
what he can to the growth and material re-
sources OF our colleges aud uniyersities.-Mil-
saukee Journal

The Public
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

The public is really not such bad fellow
after all. He is accused of all manner of unm-
aginabe-or at any rate unforgivabe-crimes,
He is dread, devouring monster, who prompt
ly does for all fair youth and innocence that
comes to great city. He starves the aspirant
poets and novests. He grips the hearts of
painters with despair at his cold neglect. He
sends musicians to the almshouse. He bruises
delicate flowers of fancy to the pavement and
robs the nest of the twttering fedglings that
might one day be singing and upsoarng to
delight.
He is, in one aspect, leering, ugly, brutal
and brutalzing creature-destitute OF fine in
stnct and high rapture-of tremulous, sensitive
fastdous perception. You would not ask
him to your house for he would track in mud
and wipe his feet Gf he wiped them at alD on
your most delicate belongings. He would let
fly an uncouth jest about that which you held
sacred He would be unsparing and unseemly
and irreverent You could not speak or under
stand his language and you would not care to
do so.
But look again and think again. Behold and
see if there is not some virtue in this hideous
apparition. Wash his face and find what is be-
hind the CRIME his hard labor may have put
there. See if there not beautiful dreams in
his eyes that your passing glance considered
wild and terrible. Be patient and listen-and
out of the heart you did not think he had per-
haps there comes some confession that stirs
you like music Bestow at least the benefit of
the doubt where you mistrusted. Bring out
the best instead of the worst of this strange
entity, the public, and see it, after all, there
not admirable traits that you had sighted
ignored.
The public cannot be all bad-for you and
l have seen him in action when he was strange
ly noble and true to the supreme qualities of
human nature-the qualities that teach US i'm
mortality and point US to the stars We have
seen the public manifesting sublime heroism
on fe1d Of haiti md in 1aya5x nd he
works of peace revealing an endurance and
fidelity not less touching and inspiring. We
have seen the public self denying and frugal.
showing tenderness to the weak and the un-
fortunate, affectonately faithful in every family
relation. supporting just causes with outpoured
earnings, patriotic and honestly religious and
insistent on decency and order. We have seen
the public doing the work of the world and
carrying burden uncomplainingly. Move

REPORT OF THE MINORITY.

The report Of the minority of the senate's
foreign relations committee on the peace treaty
with its covenant for League of Nations is
commended to the attention of the readers as a
splendid example of unwarranted assumption
and insincere assertion.
On what grounds can the minority justify
its statement that delay on the treaty has been
caused by the majority of committee known
to be out of harmony with majority of the
senate and the majority of the people?" Care
full canvass amongst the senators has disclosed
the fact that far more than majority of them
are opposed to the ratification of the treaty
without amendment or reservation. In no way
is it possible to determine exactly the state of
the public mind, but such attempts as have been
made indicate a sentiment against the treaty
as it stands such as would disprove the minor
ity's unsupported claim.
So the report proceeds through its length,
making one after another statements OF fact
not yet established conclusions based on be-
lief rather than on information, and generaliza-
tons where particularization has been looked
for. Dealing with the textual amendments the
chief of which concern Shantung and the par
ity OF voting power between the United States
anu 'he oi'tish ehipie' VIC mummy says. WV
see no reason to discuss their character at
length. In our opinion they have no merit"
With similar cavalier lightness and grace the
proposed reservations are dismissed: "They
are the work of senators organized for the pur-
pose of destroying the league and if possible
defeating this treaty"
Why should the minority deal so frivolously
with so serious matter, unless it relies on its
powers of cajolery to induce senator's to accept
its views who might be impervious to its ar
guments. Or does it hope only to catch and
hold the mind of those who have so often been
deluded by specious pleadings of the democratic
leaders who habitually keep the word of prom
ise to the ear and break it to the hope?"

Following the President.

York, Neb., Sept. 10.-To the Edi-
tor Of The Bee: Now tell your read
ers to go away back and sit down
and keep quiet, since we have re-
ceived our new orders to put up
or shut up" And seeing we are
not to have any chance to put up, II
remains for us to shut up or else
run our own thinker and acter, so
far as our own affairs are concerned.
But so far as his rights, that are his
by virtue of his office, the president
should be respected, and ! am not
in sympathy with any one or any
measure that had any other object
in view. But Mr.. Wilson takes h1m-
self little bit too seriously when
he goes so far as to dictate how or
for whom we shall vote or whether
we can express our own opinion on
things just as dear to us as his ideas
are to him. And just as liable to be
correct, If we are to take his own
record as to what to expect from
him-and that is an uncertain
or acting
For it Is a commonly known fact
that he has not stood still long
enough on scarcely any position he
has taken for the country to get his
views until he changes front, and
then he is the same sure-right boy
as in his previous stands. Not wish
ing to make any statement to in
jure any one, 1 will just cite few
cases in point:
First, his one-term promise; his
toll plank promise: his refusal to
commit himself in the suffrage
question until it looked as though
all the suffrage states were going
for Mr.. Hughes, then he says "me,
too"
Then he said we could not have
peace with victory, but must have
a negotiated peace, then we were
to have one by victory only; then
by withdrawing from foreign soil;
then unconditional surrender on IA
conditions; then refused to comply
with them.
Now he has his league pact to
cure the rest Of our ills and wants
us to believe it will work. Then when
certain danger signs>are pointed out,
he says that is not binding, as each
nation can do as 1t pleases in those
things. Yet II we fail to take 1t
whole we will break the heart of
the world. In conclusion, / make !
this statement: No one should be
taken for more than they have made
good on. Now where will he be to-
morrow? None can tell.
