REMEDY IN ANCIENT LAW.

And when we reap the harvest of
your land, thou shalt not wholly reap
the corners of thy field, neither shalt
thou gather the cleaning of thy har
vest, and thou shalt not CLEAN thy vine
yard, neither shalt thou gather the fall
en- fruit of thy vineyard; thou shalt
leave them for the poor and for the
stranger: l am the Lord your God
Leviticus XIX. 9-10.
This law given by God to Moses re-
strains the husbandman from taking
everything he can secure and makes
provision for the consumer who cannot
produce the necessities of life. The
law was given to a wholly agricultural
people and deals only with the products
of agriculture but applies as well to
other classes of producers. 1t hes be-
come obsolete in the modern industrial
world and today the manufacturer, the
agriculturist, the laborer and the mid
dleman CLEAN the last dollar available
for their part in making the necessitie,

UNIVERSAL TRAINING.

We are glad the National Guard AS
ISOLATION of the United States is not
opposed to universal training and pro
poses to submit a bill to congress pro
viding for it. The late war showed the
country too plainly the folly of ignor
ing the possibility of military service
by the young men of this country.
They were called from the pursuits of
peace without any preparation what
ever and sent against the trained and
seasoned soldiers of Germany. They
defeated them ibnt at unnecessary loss
of life and treasure. 1t is generally
recognized that victory would not have
been possible had the Germans not been
nearly exhausted by the armies of
France and England and Belgium. The
American army could not have been
equipped by the time the armisticc was
signed had it depended upon America
alone. Not a big American gun was
fired against the enemy and the Ameri-
cans depended very largely upon the
allies for transportation of both troops
and supplies.
These things were true because the
youth of America had never received
military training. Universal eonscrip-
ton has become the established meth
cd of raising an American army and
it will be much more successful if
prepared for in the form of universal
training.
Universal training will better prepare
the young men for active and success
full civil life because it will give nee,
essary discipline to youth. 1t will re
veal each year the physical defects of
the young men and impose upon them
the training necessary to correct these
defects. 1t will give this country the
largest and best reserve force to meet
military crises at much less cost than
standing army.
1t would seem wise to continue the
national guard as a state police force
and as a mobile nucleus for a national
army in case of necessity. But the
national guard should not be asked te
| bear the brunt of future wars alone
| 1t must be backed by a universally
trained young manhood of the whole
country. The national guard therefore
| should welcome the backing of tn,
young men and realize that the short
/ period of training required in the pro
posed bills will greatly increase thu
1 value of such backing.

Some More Price Contrasts.
(Staunton, Va, Leader.)

The other day we quoted from a
equitable Atlanta paper an advertise
nent of a firm that was offering meats
1t prices less than half the prices for
which the same meats sell in Staunton.
Chuck roast, for instance, at cents a
pound. Those prices were really low
or than probably they ought to be,
I'll things considered Stanton peo-
Die would be only too happy to get
,ound meat at prices ranging ten to
fifteen cents higher per pound We
IRE quoting today some prices that
lbout fill the bill.
The prices we give today are taken
rom column advertisement of a
Baltimore firm in Tuesday S Baltimore
Sun, most reputable paper, that would
lot take advertisements from any firm
;nown to be deceiving the people -
20 reputable paper will now knowingly
10 that. In considering this Baltimore
advertisement we must remember that
hey do not grow cattle or sheep in
Baltimore, but they do grow them just
outside of Staunton. The cost of trans
,ortation enters into every pound of
neat sold in Baltimore while there is
10 cost of transportation for meat
slaughtered in Staunton.

Simon Lake, who is attracting atten-
ton with his invention of a submarine
that permits you to walk around the
ocean bed in your street clothes, is a
naval architect and a mechanical en-
gineer now resident at Milford, Conn.,,
with his manufacturing headquarters
at Bridgeport. Mr.. Lake was born at
Pleasantville, N. j., 53 years ago, and
received his education principally at
Franklin Institute, Philadelphia. He
is claimant for the title of first invent
or of the evenkeeled type of subma
rine, and in 1897, with the Argonaut
first operated submarine in the opeT
sea. His inventive genius has beer
prolific chiefly in connection with mech
anisms for locating and recovering
sunken vessels and their cargoes, anC
for carrying on submarine industries
The United States government and Eu
ropean nations have utilized his inven
tions, and he has been honored will
election to membership in leading en-
gineering and scientific bodies o.

Disgracing Vermont.
(Rutland News.

The Pawlet breeders and dealers in
ed by the national association of
breeders of that breed of kline, may
have squared their accounts with that
organization, but up to date they have
not done so with the public at large,
or with those who have purchased ami
mails from them. At this distance, it
looks as if there was a just ground for
criminal prosecution, and certainly q
suit to recover damages on the part of
purchasers to whom misrepresentation
have been made.
The disclosure made before the asso-
citation as shown at Brattleboro, the
headquarters of the national Holstein
society, are to the effect that there was
deliberate injection of cream into the
milk given by cows in the Pawlet herd
in order to bring up to high point the
percentage of butter fat. This is off
the same piece as the fraud of the man
that opens up a gold mine and "salts'
it with deposits of gold injected for the
purpose of fraud and for catching suck
ers.
There is particular pride in Vermont
on the high quality of its cattle of va
rious breeds. No state in the union
stands higher in the world of cattle
buyers. Consequently it is positive
disgrace that firm of Vermont deal
ars, should pursue a policy of swind-
ling such as has been disclosed.
In official circles of the association
the term "faking the records is used
The term is altogether too mild for an
offense that is downright fraudulent
and criminal

of life available to the consumers. The
result is the illegitimate wealth of tn,
profteer, the excessive wage of the
laborer and injustice to the consumer.
One may be called an idealist for
suggesting that observance of this an
cient divine law would go far toward
solving the high cost of living prob
lem, but it would. No class today pro-
vides for another class, it simply tries
to hog everything itself. If every class
would show little more consideration
of others the matter of living would be
less difficult and there would be less
hostility between brethren.
Leave the scatterings, Messrs. Profit
Ger, Laborer and Middleman, for the
benefit of the public and the public
will bless rather than curse you.
