Food in Storage.

The phrase "food surplus is one
that has not been heard by Americans
for long time. 1t has strange look
in type and strange sound when
spoken. But it is very pleasant to en-
counter such phrase at last. There
seems to be something Of hopefulness
in it. 1t is at least refreshing in that
Americans have heard nothing for
moro than four years in association
with food except shortage" scarcity"
"high prices" and "higher prices
The charge has often been made that
food scarcity has been due in meas
ure to the supplies that have been
withdrawn from markets and locked
up for speculative purposes. Herbert
c. Hoover, who by general consent is
admitted to know something about the
food question, confirms in part those
charges. He is reported as saying
''that warehouses in northern Europe
are filled with food and other COM
modities sent there by spectators in
all other parts of the world and large
ly from the United States with the
idea that extraordinary prices would
prevail on the lifting Of the blockade
He has said that these spectators are
confronted with the fact that only neh-
trail nations have the money to pay
the prices demanded for these things,
and that currency in all the other
countries is $50 greatly deprecated as
to be of little use in the purchase of
the goods" The release of these
stocks of goods from speculative stor-
age may aid in relieving the general
food tension.

Profteering in HtiRy Topdss.:

Evidence has been addueed that
Chicago food dealers have been profit
eering in Army supplies sold to the
public. They bought large Quantities,
stored them, and resold at great prof
its. One wholesale grocer has ac-
knowledged that his profit was 3S 3
per cent.
This is the last word in profteering,
and it bespeaks carelessness in the
methods of distributing the surplus
supplies. The governments sole pur-
pose in putting these goods on the mar
ket within reach of the consumers d.
rectly was to cut off the excess profits
of the distributors and to bring the
market rates for foodstuffs down to-
ward normal. That in Chicago at least
this purpose has been defeated through
some manner of smart dealing is most
Geplorable.
Somebody should suffer severely for
this happening, those who permitted
such wholesale buying by dealers if
they can be identified, and the dealer.

Fly the Flag!

A call has gone forth from the citi-
zens' committee in charge of the ar
rangements for the grand review a
week from today for general decora-
ton of the city on the 18th. Especial.
ly along the line of march is it de-
sired that there should be a liberal
display of flags. Every building along
Pennsylvania avenue should show q
banner.
In the hanging of the flag for deco
rative purposes certain rules should in
propriety be observed. The flag should
whenever possible float free from a
staff, and not be draped or festooned.
1t is not a mere bit Of colored cloth.
1t is an emblem, symbol of the ma
ton, and should be shown in its en-
tirety..

Boston Police Strikers Out for Good

The decision Of the Boston police
commission, sustained by the governor
of the state, not to receive back the
striking policemen maintains the prin-
ciple that the members Of the force
must not affiliate themselves with Ia
| ,or unions, with the strike as weapon
for the securing Of higher pay or other
advantages. A Eight to finish" is
predicted. Recruits for the department
will be sought and the city will insist
upon the policy of non unionism for
the police force.
Any other decision must have made
for a victory for the striking police
laen. If they could return to their old
posts without loss other, perhaps, than
that of few days pay, they would
win the contention for the unionizing
of the force. Boston may pass through
severe struggle before the issue is
finally determined. Possibly the pres
sure Will Uc tOO Sicdl w "AIAotdhu IL
ether unions strike in sympathy and if
the firemen walk out, as has been sug
gested. But this test must come some
where, for police unions have been
formed in some thirty-seven cities and
Boston has become the battle ground.
There is no antagonism toward labor
unions in the opposition that has been
manifested against the affiliation of
police organizations with national trade
union bodies. 1t is contended that the
position of the policeman in the mu-
nicipality is precisely that of the SOL
der in a national sense. He cannot
have an afiliation that weakens his
loyalty to- his duty. And he cannot
have an afiliation with labor union
body without becoming partisan.
The elements Of lawlessness and dis
order are always ready to function
upon the least opportunity. It is nee
essary to keep the strictest check upon
them at all times. A policeman is en-
listed in the campaign against crime,
which is unfortunately unending.
There can be but one standard for
him, that of undertaking devotion to
the task of enforcing the law. and
keeping order, regardless of persons or
associations. Any lower standard
means confusion and laxity in the en-
forcement of the laws, and division Of
sympathy means danger to the COM
munity. t,s----. 80 :

them for a fortnight would entail a
heavy loss to building trades and check
extensions and repairs. The
country would suffer seriously for lack
of materials. without regard to the dis
orders that are certain to result from
this conflict for recognition.
During the next week the govern
ment agencies for labor adjustment
should be excrted to the utmost to eff
feet a settlement or at least a further
postponement of the strike. 1t will
be disastrous to permit this case to go
so far as to throw half a million men
ut of employment and shut down one
Of the vitality important industries Of

The Steel Strike.

With e strike of half million steel
workers scheduled for a week from
next Monday there is possibility of
. very grave disturbance in the con-
ditions outside of that industry. 1t is
deplorable that this contest was not
postponed pending the industrial con-
ference, but more than a week re-
mains before the strike order is ef-
fective to permit a settlement or a
postponement.
This strike is ordered to put to is

poration, the largest employer of steel
workers. That corporation has never
permitted or recognized union organi-
ration. Fortunately, during the war
the question was not put to test and
the steel industry, upon which so much
depended in the prosecution Of the
campaign against Germany, was not
disturbed.
A steel strike cannot fail to have a
bad effect, spreading widely over other

POLITICS AT HOME
The Annual Tiger Hunt.


A familiar sport in New York has
begun. They are hunting the Tiger.
All the guns are out, and the hubbub
grows.
Tammany is study in toughness
and endurance. 1t has stood. and
seems able to stand, more pounding
than any other political organization
in the country. And vet it survives.
Indeed, it thrives on pounding. The
harder the blows the more attached the
members become to it.
The society is not made up as the
outside world is asked to believe. 1t is
not composed exclusively of plug ug-
hes. 1t is not an organization of, by,
and for plug uglies. It musters too
many of that sort. and they have to be
managed after their kind.
But there are some very estimiable
men among the members; and they
often break the force of. public resent
ment when the record becomes out
lageous.
This explains the fact that Tam
lcany is sometimes found III good COM
pany in campaign years. The foes of
one year may be the friends of the
next. Tammany is all everyday phi
losopher as we'll as an everyday politi-
clan 1t forgives and forgets. 1t sees
that the hand that scourges in one
campaign is the hand that caresses in
The next.
The organization is solicitous about
this year. 1t is eager to win. It needs
winning in it's business. Next year
is presidential year, and Tammany
wants to appear at the democratic ma
tional convention with a very recent
victory to its credit. 1t wants to play
an important part at that meeting.
1t has not as yet indicated prefer

presidential nomination. W. G. Nc

But if Mr.. Wilson steps aside, a fine
opportunity for playing politics will
present itself, and Tammany, natur.
ally, will want to sit in the game
New York's block of votes is of goodly
size, and in the hands of man capa.
BILE of manipulating it should count in
the equation.
So that during the coming six weeks
politics in New York may be expected
to hum. Tammany needs victory fol
several purposes. municipal, state, and
national, while the republicans if they
win will score in more particulars
than one. Campaigns these days are
expensive, and, therefore, short. What

about heavy emigration from this

savings amounting to billions, and
