FOUNDATIONS OF A RUDE

! The Interests" and their lickspittle
press are very much opposed to any,
thing that is foreign Ito their inter-
ests in what they mean of course) so
they shout from the housetops. Just
how thin this opposition is, is easily
seen. Recently the business men of
Milwaukee asked the mayor of that
city to invite the King of Belgium to
visit that city. The mayor said in re-
ply, 81 stand for the mar who works,
to hell with kings" The interest press
has since been busily aoccupied in
knocking the Milwaukee mayor for
Americanism expressed in that state
i ment.
According to latest complete returns
of the Treasury Department for the
year 1916 only SOC. 600 out of 1OO,-
100000 people in America pay income
taxes. These returns show that in 1916
1851 had incomes over $4,000; IT,
085 had incomes over $4,000; 6,633
had incomes over 500, 900; 582 over
100000; and FOG over 5 1000, 900.
Just how many farmers and working
men were in the above class is not
stated!
A year ago while the war was on,
all American soldiers were praised to
the skies by our kept press. The Amer
lean soldiers Except the 'black sheep"
like the writer) were the really wing
less heroes according to u Except
press" Anyone attempting to do
harm to an American soldier was i'm
mediately the subject Of unprecedent-
ed abuse IN the part Of that dear old
lady, the Except press" But how on
ditions have changed The first per-
son killed in the steel strike was a
soldier, killed by gunner Of the inter-
ests. Did the kept press set in imme-
diately with a line Of abuse against
the interests and their gunner? Well,
hardly. The kept press v in the
lowly creeping position Of ever lying
mouthpiece Of Big Business. That is
why there a no outcry, concerning
the death Of that soldier recently, on
the part Of the kept press.

War on the Enemies OF Useful
Wild Life.

Sportsmen back from overseas will
find that during their absence war has
been begun and carried on unremit-
tingly against the foes of useful wild
1fe In tho Empire State. At the same
time the forces Of conservation have
been working to increase the game
birds and animals.
The British Isles have not been as
fortunate In caring for their game as
sets. So many gamekeepers were
called to France or were taken from
their usual employment by the war
that the grouse covers were not prop
erly burned over and vermin in
creased so rapidly that grouse shoot
ing has been ruined this year, and 1t
will be many years, In the opinion Of
the English sporting authorities, be-
fore the grouse covers will shelter the
number Of birds they did before
August 1, 1914.
When the New York sportsman ap-
plies to the city, town or county clerk
for a hunting license he will find on

vised to "shoot all you can of foxes.

grumbling over this extra duty, and
we should not blame them IL they
grumbled over good many Of the
duties they are called on to perform
outside Of their regular tasks.
The police, from Commissioner down
to the youngest patrolman, have more
than enough to do 10 preserve order
and to detect criminals There are
not as many men on the force as are
needed to do these important things
the way the policemen want to 90
them and the way the town wants
to have them done.
In the face Of this fact, whenever
there is an odd job for which express
provision is not made In the charter
1t is saddled on the police. We do not
include in the category Of non-rou-
tine employments about which they
have justification for grumbling such
avocations az selling Liberty bonds
and enrolling Red Cross contributors
In war time. We do include passen-
ger counting and census taking, col
lection of facts about living condi-
tons, excursions into the cost of liv-
Ing and other odds and ends of munic-
ipal adventures which have nothing
whatever to do with the serious duties
Of the police.
Not only have the policemen thor
oughly good reason for complaining
when such work is put on their shout
ders, but citizens generally have a
right to murmur. A policeman on duty
getting the number of passengers in a
bus cannot do his ordinary work as
thoroughly as he should. His atten-
ton is taken Off his legitimate occu-
patton and the peace and good order
Of the city Is thus imperilled. If men
are assigned especially to such duty
the force is weakened by their alb
sence from post.
The city should keep the police
men at the work they are paid to do
and not burden them with outside
duties.

Proper Terminals for Food Markets.

The determined women representing
community councils who recently
spent nine rainy hours, beginning at
midnight, in studying the initial proc
esses Of distributing food in this city
say In an informal report that they
saw In the many conditions, all Of
which operated against the interests
of consumers, situation which would
Justly be described in Bagdad as
having whiskers on it" Food ar
rives In the city nightly in abun-
dance and in almost every imaginable
variety, by boats, railway cars, auto
mobile trucks, horse drawn vehicles,
but there are no adequate terminal
facilities to start 1t on a fair, eco
nomical way to consumers.
1t is needless to 60 into the man.
ner In which consumers are made to
suffer in purse by this condition. The
advantage the big buyer has over the
small buyer, the desire Of the commits
sion men who represent producers,
and the truck gardener with a wagon
load Of food, for quick sales in large
lots are obvious. Food products are
unloaded from car or boat on badly
lighted piers, or from truck or wagon
in what can fairly be described as
excuses for markets.
For years experienced men who
have given diligent study to this
subject have urged the city to provide
proper terminal facilities where food
can be cheaply and conveniently han
died. can be displayed attractively,
where there shall be comfortable &C
commodations for sellers, where buy
ers of small quantities may make their
selections in comfort, where conditions
may eliminate from the cost to con-
sumers two or three profits, from
cost to retailers one or two profits,
where the demand may find the supply
as directly as possible.
Plans to the least detail have been
drawn for such terminals and, If the
conditions described by unofficial in
yestigators are found by officials of
the city to exist, 1t would be difficult
to imagine any reasonable excuse
for failure by the city to remedy the
evil. The cost of proper terminals
with such facilities as have been sug-
gested would beyond question be saved
in benefits to consumers In the normal
trading of a few years

as the use Of the motor truck is IN
creasing.
The curious feature 10 that the
horse is being displaced by the motor
more rapidly in the less congested
parts Of New York. In Queens 80 per
cent Of the horses have disappeared
in nine years; in Manhattan and
Brooklyn only 8S per cent This is
not a mystery, however. Changing
an old stable into a garage is not a
simple matter In the business district
Of the city, what with the restrictions
imposed by the Building and Fire de-
partments upon structures where
gasolene is kept. Hence the retention
Of the non-combustible horse. More
over, In districts where congestion of
population necessitates short hauls and
frequent stops horse drawn vehicles
have certain advantages over motor
driven vehicles.
In time, though, Dobbin will pass
forever from our busy streets, and for
his sake everybody will be glad to see
him free from the noisy, slippery and
hot city. The farmer still finds him
useful friend.

Van Mans Day.

Wednesday will be van mans day
in New York. A population trained
in the belief that 1t must swap dwell
ing places annually, with its restless
ness stimulated by increased rents,
is at the mercy Of the supermen who
juggle pianos. Demand exceeds sup
ply, prices are up and going higher,
tips have reached astonishing size.
The old saw which teaches US that
three moves are as bad as fire must
be revised. One move in 1919 prom
ises to be as bad as three fires.
A good many cliff jewellers who gave
up their apartments because the rents
were raised now wish they had re-
newed their leases. All rents are up,
and some folks with money in their
pockets ara going TO sleep in no
tells after tomorrow night because
they can't find an apartment house
owner who can take them in. The
suburbs tell the same story the city
tells: their houses have all been sold
or rented. The real estate agents
will have to fatten their fortunes out
Of dealings in land for several months
to come.
The only thing which clouds the van
mans enthusiasm is the problem of
housing himself. Perhaps he may be
driven to live in his van.
