In the three hundred years which
yesterday marked off since that July
80 in 1919 when the first legislature
assembled in America in the form OF
House of Burgesses meeting at
jamestown, American representative
and constitutional government has de-
veloped, as TENNYsoN describes the
growth of British liberty, "from prece-
dent to precedent" 1t should be both
interesting and appropriate to observe
the three greatest steps In the founda-
ton of our present system: Virginia's
House of Burgesses was the first and
most fundamental; then came the
governmental Improvement in Massa-
chusetts In 1884, when a bicameral
legislative structure was evolved, the
precursor of our congressional form,
and the last great colonial polit-
ical achievement was the adoption by
Connecticut in 1859 of written con-
stituton, the first document of that
kind in the world. 1t is this demo-
cratic constitutional heritage which the
Senate reverently preserves in de-
handing recognition OF its ancient
rights.

WHO KILLEDJ.BARLEYcoRNi
Not MY Party, Cries Representative
Herbert G. Pell. Jr.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Str:
notice that one of your correspondents
says that signs are being displayed in
various drinking places saying that pro-
hibition was brought about by the Demo-
cratic party.
A man running after a train is much
like the truth trying to catch up with a
lie-he will never get UP to II IL 1t can
ever get under way.
1 would like to call your attention to
the fact that in the House of Represen-
tatives a slight majority of the wet vote
was Democratic and the dry vote was
about two-thirds Republican. In my
State, New York, the Republican candi-
date for Governor last autumn ran also
as a Prohibitionist and when the ques-
ton of the ratification of the prohibition
amendment came before the New York
Legislature not a single Democrat voted
for It.
We Democrats of New York have
hopelessly lost the support of that enor-
nous group of our fellow citizens who
want to reform other people by statute ;
do please leave us at least those who
prefer the happiness of being free to
the pleasure of being tyrants. If you
do not you will have no Democratic
party left at which to poke fun, and
where would THE SUN be then7

Of grain IL holds up the price Of poul-

Congress knows, therefore, that

grossly inflated food prices caused by

Since the Administration doesn't
know enough or care enough to let
down these inordinate grain prices

who will try to knock the Admins
tration's jackscrew from under the

Congress After Living Costs.

The House of Representatives does
right to commend the War Depart
ment to sell in our markets $124 Co.,
600 of canned meats and vegetables,
surplus Army supplies. No surplus
food of any sort or description should
be kept from the public when the
American people are paying famine
prices for their bread and butter.
But as the members of Congress I'M
derstand plain arithmetic they must
also understand what these surplus
supplies mean and what they do not
mean IN the way of food relief for the
100000 population of the United
States. The cold mathematics of this
proposition, Of course, Is that whether
the War Department publicly sold this
surplus stock or actually gave 1t
away, the food relief to the American
people would average only about n
dollar a head-nOt a dollar a head a
day, not a dollar head a month, not
a dollar head year. but a dollar a
head Just once mall time.
In the United States there are more
than 20,000,000 families. Their
food bills are now running, at the
most conservative estimate, more than
$50000,000 day. more than a
billion and half of dollars month,
more than eighteen billions of dollars
year. Distribution amounting to
only one dollar head for one single
time isn't going to make a dent in
such colossal food crisis.
If the House of Representatives
wants to get at this problem in ear
nest, and surely 1t does; IL 1t wants
to help the public at once 1t must get
at the fundamental cause.-the cause
which is operating so disastrously at
breakfast, at dinner, at supper time,
day In and day out, week after week
and month after month. This is the
Washington Administrations jack
screw under the price OF breadstuffs.
Congress knows that when the
Washington Administration holds IN
the price Of grain II holds up the price
of cattle and sheep and hogs which
are fed and fattened on the dear
grain. Congress knows that when the
Administration holds up the price of
grain 1t holds up tie price of milk
and butter and cheese because of the

The Scandal OF Farm No. 2.

. without shuddering. 1t is no longer
a mere inquiry into the vicious eccen-
tricities of Lieutenant "Hardboiled"
SMITH. That plcturesquely named

more than the willing tool of higher
army authority, of men who counte-
nanced cruelty so mean that we must
look back to Andersonville for a par
allel. Even the authenticated stories
of allied prisoners in German camps
do not furnish material quite so hor-
rifying.

cipline will not be able to salve it

S. II. Stone, Former Lieuten-

AVER, Mass, July 30.-Convicted of

formerly Second Lieutenant of the
10lst Infantry Regiment, has been sem

Camp Devens of the finding of a court

sources and withdrew. Again, when
his company was going into action at
Chateau Thierry in the first wave, Stone
was seen to run to the rear. guard

Stone was allowed to proceed when he
said he was returning for maps His
platoon suffered losses which the court
martial held included needless loss of
life due to Stones detection.
Stone, whose home is In Boston, was
an officer in the National Guard before
it was federalized and the 101st Regi-

The Colombian Treaty.

Incidents of Visit TO the Essex

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Judge
Patrick Gavan Duffy was friend OF
mine, and one day In the late sos / was

to have a warrant issued by me Endorsed
In order that It might be served In the
city. I went with him to the Essex
Market Court for the purpose and was
invited on the bench by Judge Duffy. /
witnessed much OF Judge Duffy's with
cisms and pleasantries 1 recall few.
One bright little young woman had
been arrested on Fourteenth street The
Judge said to her: 1.-THE officer says
you tried to scratch his eyes out" She
replied Yes, 1 did, Judge, and l
would have done so II 1 had been tall
enough" Then the Judge, admlring her
chic straw hat asked her where she
bought it and how much she paid for it..
She replied:
II bought 1t at lie Boutillier's and paid
90 cents for It,"
Discharged" said the Judge. IF you
had bought 1t on Fifth avenue and paid
$40 for 1t 1 would give you six months.

The next case was that of middle
aged woman charged with lettering. The
Judge said to her: what is your occu-
patton" "Chambermaid." she replied.
Where did you work last?" AT the

we'll known at that time. "How would
you like to go to Patchogue? Perhaps
my friend Judge Carman could get you
a job up there. You are too old to be
lettering. Stand aside. 1 will see what
1 can do for you"
At the time of which / write It was
the custom to leave wagons in the street
near the curb. A butcher wagon was
standing on East Broadway with fresh
straw In the bottom, which proved
tempting to two belated DRINKS. and they
crawled in on the straw. At daylight an
officer passing discovered them, raped
with his club on the soles of their shoes
and woke them up. One ran away but
fell into the arms of another officer. The
other showed fight and gave the officer
quite tussle.
The two men were brought into court
and the officer was very anxious that the
man who resisted him should get a stiff
sentence. Judge Duffy gave one man
three months, the other thirty days
After the commitments had been made
out the officer discovered that the really
guilty man had received the lighter SEN

will not know the difference ten years
from now"

Kidd Not a Reliable SpoOk.

Three persons who refuse to meet n
note of $1,000 given in payment for a
farm out Trenton way declare that
they bought the farm on the owners
representation that Captain KIDDs
spirit had appeared to him and de-
clared that much of the Kidd treasure
was buried on the place The buyers
digged and digged, but in vain. We
are not surprised at their disappoint-
ment, but their lack of Acquaintance
with the history Of pirates gold and
ghosts Is amazing.
1t is well known that Captain KIDD
took none Of his pieces of eight out
Trenton way. Why should he, when
he had the whole Atlantic coast for
burial place? Let anybody dig on
the ocean beach all the way from
Delaware Bay to Block Island. and
at any moment he may feel his pick
strike the oak plank and five minutes
later he may be hammering at the
rusted lock. Let him even go up the
Hudson and try on some of the ISL
ands and there is still q chance to get
rich quick, but western Jersey is not
the place to search for KIDD's gold.
Another point overlooked by the for
tune hunters is the fact that Old KIDD
is not accepted in the splritistic world
as reliable control; at least not to
the extent that MORGAN is. Sir HARRY
MORGAN, who holds the title of buc-
cancer rather than pirate is always
to be had on the spirit wire. The
medium never says "busy" when he
Is called. If the seeker of buried
wealth must have ghostly counsel, let
him communicate with MORGAN and
then save his money for a winter trip
to the Spanish main. Surely, after
sacking Panama, HARRY must have
buried something ut Jamaica when
he stopped on his way home to Eng
land. History says that he took
enough gold to the king to assure his
pardon and the accolade, but we have
always believed that MORGAN left a
cache full Of yellow metal in Jamaica
against rainy day.
The way to get money out in New
Jersey is to start a poultry farm.
Then the hens bring gold to their own
ers without the aid of a spook.

prisoners were confiscated by the Off
GERS. II this evidence came only from
Sergeant BALL, the self-confessed as
sailant Of more than a hundred pris-
oners, 1t might not be credited, but
1t appears from the testimony of Colo
mel DONALDSON of the Inspector Gen.
erals Department that the prisoners
property was stolen by officers
Punishment has been measured out
to "Hardboiled" SMITH and other men
directly concerned in the brutal treat
ment of prisoners, but surely the men
higher up must be brought to the
bar The policy Of silence, previously
advised by Colonel DONALDSON, will
not do. If SMITHS superiors knew
what was going on at Farm No. 2 they
knew that the laws of decency, not to
speak of the Articles of War, were
violated; that men were beaten with
clubs and were starved and robbed.
II they knew that they were as bad,
morally, as SMITH and his fellow
beast, BALL. If they did not know 1t
they were not at to be a part Of the
machine of the army. The investigat-
ing committee is going to France to
find out where the higher RESPONSE
bility rests, and there is no officer so
great that he should be immune from
punishment.
Half the world has frowned 0t
Prussia for the methods pursued in
the German army, but the testimony
relative to Farm No. 2 indicates that
the United States had in it's army in
France officers whose conduct would
have shocked the average Prussiun
disciplinarlan. If their meanness had
been exercised against an enemy it
would have been objectionable, and
1t was used against Americans, some
of whom voluntarily enlisted. The
fact that these prisoners were Offend
ers does not help the case of those
who tortured them. Whatever they
were, deserters, thieves or worse, they
should not have been subjected to
treatment that smells of medieval
dungeons.
