FOOD AND FRILLS.

We are told that there are
not enough people engaged in
the copious production of es-
sentials, ant that this partly
accounts for high prices.
We got around the difficult
ty during he war by forbid
ding the production of nOnes-
sentials. If this were done
now it would throw a number
of people out of work, but
they would soon turn to the
production of essentials, and
supply the shortage.
Unfortunately, there are
many of us who demand the
nonessentials, and are thus
responsible for the shortage
of essentials. The richest
man can consume only small
quantity of food, and wear
only a few clothes. But he
can soak fortune in jewelry
and automobiles, and it is the
wages spent in producing COM
that creates the prof.
teer and sends prices up. 1t
takes the labor of a lot of men
to make one automobile.
Cut out the Injuries to a
reasonable extent. We must
choose between jewels and
Johnny-cake, between pearls
and pie.

a notable decrease in crimes
Of certain kinds. Disorderly
hoodlums grow scarcer; wife
heaters diminish; cases of
cruelty to children are fewer.
But the need of caution is
not gone. Prohibition is a ma
tional confession that we can
not be trusted to control our
appetites. We behave better
with light handouts on, and
herein is the wisdom of pro-
hibition. But we have appe-
tites to which alcohol never
r,inistered. and their mastery
of us is a commonplace IL all
who read the daily history of
our larger towns.

BALANCE OF POWER.

The trouble about Eng
lands six votes to America S
one really started in the Brit
ish colonies. The English do
not worry much about repre-
sentatiOn at the league coun-
ell. They care very little,
when the truth is told, about
the league at all.
1t was a South African who
made the stipulation. The
British colonies are not sus-
picious of America so much as
they are of England. And
they do not mean to be bound
by England's vote any more
than do by Americas. They
want votes of their own. II is
even possible that they will be
found voting with America in
stead of with England at the
council.
England is in a fair way to
become Bolshevik. And in
the colonies they have no in
tention of being bound by a
Bolshevik vote.

that they will be crushed be-

A RAILROAD POLICY.

Next to the peace treaty, the biggest job ahead of
congress is the return of the railroads.
1t is recognized that the roads cannot be simply dump
ed on the hands Of their owners The unscrambing pro-
cess is complex They have been closely nter-linked
in federal operation that if they separated the job
must be done carefully And there Is much question
whether they ought to be separated completely into their
old units.
1t is question of creating new railroad policy The
Sherman act no longer seems sufficient 1t served good
purpose in its time in correcting mOnOpolstc abuses
But now strictly interpreted it seems TO cripple develop
ment in railrOadng in some other big industries 1t
is not likely to be repealed but there is much talk OF
amending It to permit some things now forbidden.
Federal management during the war, though disap-
pointing in many respects proved in transportation par
tcuary there great advantages in centralized auth
ofy The railroads of the country undoubtedly give
the nation better service and give it cheaper If they are
able to work together more competey-lf they can en
phasize the principle of cooperation more than that OF
competition.
Rates of course must be kept reasonable, and service
must be kept good but perhaps these aims be attain
ed by public regulation as well as private competition or
by more iudicous mixture Of the two methods.
Whatever system is adopted, the government viii
probably have more to do with the railroads than before
the war The Interstate Commerce Commission may be
given larger powers. There may be federal authority
over finances But il is recognized that the part played
by the government must be less negative and representa-
tive more constructive and helpful. What is wanted is
. friendly and effective partnership between public
authority and private enterprise.
A good progressive railroad policy once worked out

NEGRO HAS BETTER BODY.

An article on the American negro in the Journal of
American Medical Association is remnicent of of
the white hope" discussions that preceded the Willard
Johnson fight few years ago.
Which is the "better man" in physical sense---the
white man or the cOlOred man?
After comparing the records of the whites and blacks
in the United States army where they lived under exact
the conditions the writer concludes that the negro
a ~better physiological machine"
From unprejudced statistics, it appears that the ne
gro is less subject to disease than the white man. He
has less power of resistance to certain diseases for ex
ample tuberculosis and small pox but in general he
ssts disease germs better.
The negro has healthier skin This is particularly
true of the nfOded skim which forms the lining of the
mouth nose and throat White skins in comparison are
characterized as degenerate"
Furthermore, negro nerves are found to be strong
er less unstable Negroes not subject to alcohol
ism. They have better eyes and better digestion.
This, naturally, is not calculated to minister to the
racial pride of the Caucasian who likes to feel that he is
the acme Of the human race in every particular Think
ing men, however recognize that there is law of
pensation which pays for every gain The white
man seems to have pad'with his body for his better
