INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS

When strikes, outbreaks and violence of one character and
another take place in one section of the country 1t is the Gus
tom of other communities to felcitate themselves with assur-
ance that nothing like that could possibly happen to them.
But the strike of the Boston police, with its attendant riot,
lawleSsness and disorder, is a reminder that what took place
there is something that might as reasonably have been expected
in any city where the police department is OF sufficient conse-
quence to preserve the law, and is looked to for the preservation
OF order.
That the Boston police struck because the authorities denied
them the right to organize and affiliate with union labor is
merely incidental. A strike for higher wages, better treatment
or for any one Of a dozen things that the police have a reason
able right to complain against and resist, would have had the
same result, The main fact is that there was a strike Of the
police, which had all the earmarks OF the mutiny OF the Russian
soldiers with its disastrous consequences,
A few months ago the Memphis police were very near the
brink of something like the strike in Boston. The organization
was dissolved by the application of stringent measures. The
cause of the dissatisfaction was entirely overlooked, There was
no disposition to inquire into the cause or to remedy conditions
that led to the organization.
The charter Of the city of Memphis provides that members
of the police force shall be selected from a certified list OF appi-
cants furnished by a civil service commission. 1t is no eXag-
geration to say that the civil service requirement has been a
dead letter for five years. Before that time there was a SEM
blance Of observance.
We should get away from the idea that the police depart
ment is a political organization, to be used for the exclusive
benefit OF those in control OF the city government, So long as
an officer does his duty he should be immune from political
pressure. Some Of the best officers Of the force have lost their
Jobs within the past several months because they would not sub
scribe to the politics Of a Republican police commissioner
Others are holding on because of the fear those in authority have
Of outraged public sentiment,
1t is not too much to ask that the policeman be required tc
perform his duty, and be given the unquestioned right to vote
as he plcases, without interference from any source.
The idea that because a man is hired he is owned, bod,
and soul, is out of fashion. The disposition OF some people no
to understand that the old order is changed is responsible fol
quite as much disturbance as the refusal Of others to recognize
the limitations of their rights.

IN, DEMAND

Almost every newspaper one picks up contains one or more
advertisements calling for workers, men and women, in the
various lines OF pursuit, and many of these are repeated from
day to day. In real hard times, when work is scarce, and more
especially in the big cities, the insertion of a two-hne advertise
nient in a newspaper for a man, a woman, a boy or a girl used
to mean that scores and scores Of applicants would swarm in
the following morning TO such an extent that employers preferred
to obtain help privately-to avoid the crowd. People were too
numerous. 1t would seem that there were fifty for each job. At
because there is no one to fill them. Wages are low, no matter
what the price paid, when compared to the cost Of living,
although apparently high when compared to what was paid
before the war, No one need be idle who is capable OF working.
1t seems strange that there should be-as there is-anyonc
idling about claiming he or she can find nothing to do. The
Help Wanted columns are always clamoring, and seem never
satisfied. In one way plenty Of work is a blessing, but vacant
jobs show that working conditions are not attractive.
All this will adjust itself in time. There is an abundance of
food in the country, and as food is the first and paramount
necessity OF man there is going to be work to render that food
accessible. Nature has been bountiiul beyond her custom, and
if prices are high mans greed makes them so and not scarcity
Of supply. .- .s~@~rr-..-. ,t...,

DRIED FOOD

In primitive times man cured his food and preserved Il for
future use by drying it, and meats were smoked so that insects
might be kept from them, We still dry feed for stock wherever
the s.lo, that preserves 1t damp and green, has not been intro
duced. For many years of late salt has been used as the chief
preservatiye Just now a process of drying is becoming popular
for meats, fruits and vegetables.
the food is preserved indefinitely, and when water is restor .
to it 1t is as good as before evaporation. 1t loses nothing in
flavor and freshness by the drying process.
Great economy is claimed for this process, because r,os+
bodies, whether fruit or flesh, are largely composed Of water
and when this is removed the tonnage is reduced to where il
makes shipping Inexpensive. Bulk is also reduced and i
requires less room to store, less effort to handle. The necessary
elements and all nutrition are preserved, and the water can he
supplied at any time or place. Salt can be added during the
process Of cooking. VIZ
Evaporation may become the chief method of preserving ner.
ishable food in the future. We have discovered much but there
Is always a better way, and the better way is constantly be;np
sought. WIS

With 25.oOo miles of service in fore ign waters one one of Uncle Sam s submarine chasers behind him, John H. Cunningham is again at his home at ,46 Freeman. avenue having just been given his honorable discharge from the navy, and has been two years and three months in the service, of which 14 months were in foreign waters, including the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Aegean and Black seas. MT. Cunningham. who was rated as machinist aboard the sub-chaSer IFS, had the good fortune to be in the one offensive in which the American navy participated, the raid on the Austrian port of Durazzo, which was carried out with such signal success. The chaser unit of three boats, of which allotted to it than that of fighting U-boats, but the Austrian submarines appeared among them and the Yankee sailors were found strictly on the job. They dropped their depth bombs with such success that they were officially credited with getting two submarines. A big section of one was seen to come to the surface and then sink, while the destruction of the other was proved by the quantity of oil and wreckage. Machinist Cunningham and his mate Richardson were in charge of drop ping the 'ashcans'' from his boat, set to explode at a depth of 40 feet
 What the chasers had been dele
 
 trian hospital ship which was sup posed to be carrying war supplies, but while they were fighting the U-boats she was guiltless of what they sus- pected. She was allowed to go back into Durazzo.
 After his enlistment, machinist Cunningham was at Newport for a time and then went to the Philadelphia navy yard from which he started on May 3oth to go across. The trip across was made aboard the U. S. S. George Washington, landing at Brest. From there the navy party was sent through France to Rome and then to Corfu, Greece, which was the chaser base, where they went aboard the $. c. 12S. They were engaged in barrage work in the Adriatic all through the war, and upon the signing of the Cross relief work in the islands of the Aegean sea, with headquarters at Athens. After 1-2 months of this, they went on to ConstantinopIe to help the American Mission. for Relief in the ast. and then took a thousand mile trip into the Black Sea with two of Mir. Hoover's agents to investigate conditions there. The next move was back to Spalato' on the Dalmatian coast of the Adriatic and then to Trieste.
