DROHIBITION will be an issue in the
4 next Jersey elections. though no poll
tician on either side might like to admit
that fact in so many words.
Take away from New Jersey even
part of the vast crowd for whom the
whole coast is made to scintil!ate in sum-
mer and the countless millions invested
in hotels and resort property would suffer
grievously. Experience already has
shown that the glamour which accomDa-
nies strong drink in one form or another
helps to keep hotel life-at summer re-
sorts or elsewhere-at concert pitch.
The rights or wrongs of prohibition are
aside. New Jersey hotelkeepers are
facing condition and not a theory.
1t is to them and to the dependent
property owners in their communities
that Nugent is addressing himself as an
anti-dry candidate for the govcrnOrship.

rest of the world our debtors. They must
pay their debts in goods or go bankrupt.
A considerable portion of this foreign
trade belongs by right to this city. But
right does not count in such matters any
more than it does in the competition be-
tween individuals. The man who sees the
opportunity and goes after trade is the
man who gets it, even though another
man had been in the business years before
he started. The man with his eyes open
may start an enterprise next door to an
old-Cstablishcd finn and in few years
be doing so much business that the older
finn, content with it's little turnover,
loses even what business it had.
Content is the most damnabie depres-
SAINT in business. The balance sheet that
docs not grow with the growth Of the
population Of the country is a mark of
stagnaton. And growth with the
growth of the population is only normal.
The alert and cntorprising man is not
satisfied until he gets all the business
which it is possible for man in his line
to get, and the limit of energy and fore
sight is the only limit that can be put
upon possibility.
So long as Philadelphia business men
order their goods from abroad shipped to
any other port than Philadelphia and so
long as they send their goods abroad

GRAND JURIES AND FOOD

WHILE public officials elsewhere in the
~ country are confessing themselves
helpless and bewildered in the face of
rising food costs, Governor Cox, of Ohio,
has found way of approach to a solu-
tion of the general problem. Grand
juries will be convened in all the COM
munities of Ohio to summon witnesses
and direct general investigation with
out further delay.
'The evil" says Governor Cox, Seems
to be rooted in the concerted policy of
cold-storage institutions, which were es-
tablished to preserve food, but which now
appear to be maintained to preserve
prices that cannot be defended"
In his reference to "concerted policy"
the governor appears to have touched an
essential factor in intoerable living
costs. There is nothing to be said against
and much for cold-storage warehouses in
principle. But everything may be said
whenever and wherever they are utilized
to manipulate prices.

an open arraignment Of the meanest king
in history. 1t is just possible that the
statesmen who have been telling the
world that the kaiser was the sole cause
of the war are not willing to risk an
attempt to prove that contention under
oath in an open court.
Certainly the kaiser caused the war.
But who caused the kaiser?
Wilhelm of Germany talked much and
issued many orders. Where did he get
the money for his plans? Who provided
the brains that the Hohenzolcrns didn't
have? What went on behind the scenes
of Europe in the years Immediately pre-
ceding the war? These are things that
would have to be made known at an open
trial of the former emperor and there
are a good many signs to indicate that
even the European statesmen who now
are working most earnestly for a decent
peace and a new system Of diplomacy feel
that their people are not yet ready for
such enlightenment.

DISGRAclNG TIE UNIFORM

CUNDAY'S disorder at Wildwood, N. j.,
~ draws attention to the fact that,
though we are under such obligations to
our soldiers and sailors that we not only
glorify them for their good work, but are
prone to minimize their misdoirgs, there
are occasions when the limit is reached.
Evidence goes to show that three sail
ors, all under the influence of liquor,
started the trouble by 'picking at"
colored man. When a policewoman went
to arrest them they twisted her arm.
Men who tried to protect her were struck
by the men.
To wear United States uniform is to
be honored; mans duty to his uniform
is to be a good, square, decent citizen both
in times of war and times Of peace.
Some Of our very finest donned the
uniform while the war was on, but not all
who donned the uniform were of the
finest; nor could the training given the
boys, good though it was, turn every sin
ner into saint.
The mayor of Wildwood made no mis-
take in giving the men a salty'sentence-
but who gave them the stuff that made
them forget their duty to themselves and
to their country? Assuredly the venders
should have shared in the penalty for
wronpdoinp

A City Notebook

A quarter to one a. m, and a hot, silent
night. As one walks up Chestnut street a
distant roaring is heard which rapidly grows
louder. The sound has a note of terrifying
menace. Then, careering down the almost
deserted highway, comes huge water tank,
throbbing like an airplane. creamy sheet
of water, shot out at high pressure, floods
the street on each side dashing up on the
payements. A knot of belated revelers in
front of a hotel, standing in mid street, to
discuss ways and means of getting home,
skin nimbly to one side, the ladies lifting
nm their dresses with shrill squeaks of alarm
as the water splashes round them. Pedes-
trians plodding quietly up the street cover
fearfully against the buildings, while a fine
mist envelops them.
After the tank comes, more leisurely, a
squad of brooms The street is dripping,
every sewer opening clucks and gurges with
the falling water. There is something un-
believably humorous in the way that roaring
Niagara of water dashes madly down the
silent street. There is a note of irony in it,
too, for the depressed enthusiasts who have
been sitting all evening in restaurant over
Lemonade and ginger ale. Perhaps the
chauffeur is probibitionist gone mad.

PRESCIENCE

7 KNOW that there is nothing dies,
Though all things seem to pass
Like images that come and 60
Reflected in glass,
Or shadows blown through ripping fields
Of windy meadow grass. ..
The resurrection of the dawn ,--
Is just as golden still;
The beauty of the evening star
Sets twilight's hush athrill,
Enthroned in silver at the top
Of some enchanted hill.
And so I hold a dreaming sense
OF wonder yet to be,
A prescience of greater things
Than life has brought to me
Eternal dawn and silver star
OF Immortality!
Harry Kemp in the New York World.
