the consumer, who must take care Of
both gains and losses.
The responsibility rests squarely
upon these Senators who are abusing
their power to delay peace that is
the imperative need of the country.
Unless they can be compelled to do
their plain duty, and do it at once, it
is futile to expect that peace prices
can be approximated under Gov
eminent and under a financial and
economic system that are still legally
on a war basis.
How many more millions will these
obstructionist Senators be permitted
to take out of the pockets of the
American people before there is an
insistent public demand for action?

There is now under consideration
n the United States Senate a measure
designed to reduce the high cost OF
living by reducing the circulating
medium Of the country. Yes that
would be one way, but without money
with which to buy food the public
would be no better of than at present.
Cut the circulating medium down one
half, and you reduce the prices 81
labor and OF all commodities one half,
and double the value Of all notes,

Women Senator, Of Old.

Rome. as early as the year 21s
A. u, recognized a; senate of women.
This senate, though, differed from most
others by combining its considerations
and its discussions to matters of eti-
quette and dress. The assembly had the
appreciation of Elagubalus and held
its meetings in the Quirinal. Cruelty,
extravaganza and vice were the out
standing characteristics of the reign of
Elagubalus. Hence, the necessity of
having conferences of the sort.

WHAT THE SENATE COSTS THE
COUNTRY.

(From the New York WORLDLY
It Is useless to expect anything eff
fectual in the way Of reducing the
cost of living and readjusting the
economic conditions in the United
States until the treaty of peace is
ratified by the Senate and the war
legislation that hinges upon the rat
itiication of that treaty is repealed.
Not until then can the work of recon-
struction begin.
Every day the treaty is held up. by
the obstructionist Senators costs the
American people millions of dollars.
II Senator Lodge and his associates
were engaged in physically destroy
ing vast amount of valued property
every twenty-four hours they could
not be working more harm to the
country than they are doing by de-
laying the ratification of the treaty Of
peace
The British were quick to see that
ratifying the treaty was the first step
toward reconstruction. Accordingly
Parliament lost no time in enacting
the necessary legislation. The royal
assent as required by law has al
ready been given to the treaty and
the covenant of the League of Ma
lions, and the British Government is
free to turn it's attention to the pres
sing problems of reconstruction. The
hands of the United States are still
tied by small group of Senators.
Federal and State Governments may
order investigation into the cost of
living; Congress and Legislatures
may adopt resolutions assailing the
profiteers and demanding punish
ment; but the cost of living is a peace
problem that can be solved only I'M
der peace conditions. We have no
peace conditions as yet and are not
likely to have them for weeks to
come, simply because band Of par
tisan Senators have consecrated such
talent as they possess to the task OF
misunderstanding and misinterpreting
a'treaty that Parliament had no diff
Guilty whatever in dealing with. Inc
difference between the situation in
Great Britain and the United States
is simply this. that the British people
have learned better than to tolerate
partisan controversies over foreign
relations, and consequently Parlia-
ment acted without needless delay.
There can be no approach to nor
NAL conditions in this country until
the treaty of peace is out of the way
and the work of liquidating the war
has become the chief concern OF Gov
eminent as well as of the victims OF
Government Business of all kinds is
largely speculative because of indie
finiteness and uncertainty and
gambling has to be paid for by some

BACK TO THE HEAYEN.BORN
RATIO.

Under the above caption the New
York World INDUCES in carping COM
ment upon the increasing price Of sill
yer.
The World is now and has been for
many years scarce money, single
gold standard organ. 1t did more
than any other newspaper in this
country to defeat Mr.. Bryan for the
Presidency. It did not want silver to
be used as money. It wanted gold
and gold alone, and now 1t says there
is an undue plenty Of gold in the
United States. While it does not as
yet openly advocate any particular
scheme to get rid of this undue
plenty it can be relied upon to help
Europe to pull back over its bed q
goodly share of the worlds gold
blanket.
When money was so scarce follow
ing the decentralization of silver, that
corn sold for 20 cents per bushel in
Iowa, and was burned as fuel in
Nebraska because it was cheaper than
coal, The World made no protest
Those were red letter times for the
scarce money advocates; but now,
after the necessities Of war have bro
ken their schemes, they indulge In
yelled threats of changes to come.
Here is one of the Worlds recent
articles on the price of silver: ..A
Silver at the current market price
Of $1.20 an ounce is within 8 cents OF
the price which would make the metal
in the standard silver dollar equal
in value to the gold in the gold dollar
It is closer to the ''heaven-born" ratio
of is to than 1t has been in over
thirty years. It may yet close up COM
pletely the bloody chasm of genera
tion In American politics. .@
: "But this may not last. Silver's sud-
den and practical assertion of the
right Of ,self-determination appears
to be not heaven-born at all but born
Off world given toi:war and wicked
ness. It is sharing swith. 1ther COM
modities in rejecting the depreciation
|of gold as a measure Of thetv value Of
them all In gold. Enormous issues OF
paper currency on the European Con-
tinent have virtually displaced gold in
the monetary calculations and piled it
up in undue plenty in the United
States. At the same time, there arises
an exceptional demand for silver from
China and India and other old silver
using countries, and even in the Unit
ed States the very bigness Of the gold
and gold-backed monetary circulation
creates an extraordinary demand for
use in factional coins.
1.-THE crown of thorns is about lift
ed from the brow of labor for the time
being, and mankind, with a little life
left, is coming down from the cross Of
gold, and labor and mankind ought to
be duly grateful while they may. But
things are likely to happen before
war-stricken Europe has managed to
pull back over its bed, as Bismarck
would say, its share Of the worlds
gold blanket.'
