THE ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL

There Is no city in the Union where there is greater ad-
miration for Theodore Roosevelt than there is in Perth Amboy.
His progressive spirit and aggressive nature appeal to the peo-
pie here where progress and energy are so apparent in our CIVIC
life. His sturdy Americanism and personifcation OF the
square deal' placed him foremost among great national
leaders.
1t is, of course, natural that steps should be taken for the
erection of a great memorial for Theodore Roosevelt. 1t Is
proposed to have a memorial both at Washington, the national
capital, and at Oyster Bay, the Roosevelt home on Long Island
A committee made up of representative men from all parts of
the country has been formed to raise the necessary funds. Each
state has its executive committee and so on down to various
localities.
In New Jersey Austin Colgate is at the head of the move
ment and it is highly appropriate that he should choose former
Judge Adrian Lyon to have charge of the campaign in Middle
sex county. Judge Lyons letter which was published in the
EVENING NEWS yesterday together with a statement by Col.
William B. Thompson, the national chairman, places before
the people of this community the full meaning Of the cam
people to contribute to so worthy a cause. We cannot imagine
a man the people of this generation would more delight to hon
or than Theodore Roosevelt. 1t ought to be about the easiest
campaign that was ever put across,
Perth Amboy has been particularly honored in having the
county chairman selected from this city in the person Of Judge
Lyon and we are sure that the city will live up to the reputation
trlbute.ra " F4

THE stars incline but do not compel

Mercury rules strongly for good to-
day, according to ~astrology, but Jup-
tier and Saturn are strongly adverse.
The rule Is held to be most auspi-
cious for newspaper and magazines.
Publicity will continue to be much
employed In government affairs, but
there may be severe criticism OF
methods and changes in policy, for
there Is a sign indicating investiga-
lions, reforms and changes
This should be a fortunate sway for
signing contracts, but leases are SUBJ
Ject to an unfavorable influence.
Again diplomatic affairs are well
directed by the planets, h seers de-
clare.
Mining matters and all activities
connected with minerals may suffer
from untoward conditions while this
confguration prevails.
It is not an encouraging sway for
real estate deals, since imitation of
values, speculation and unwise en-
terprises are foreshadowed.
Jupiter conjoined with Neptune
gives astrologers reason to prophesy
such a growth of radicalism that leg
islation will be enacted to control it.
The planetary government that
seems to indicate the progress of an
Industrial revolution may be espe-
cially strong at the end of this month.
Russia Is still under the direction
of stars that presage riots, chaos,
famine and bloodshed.
Saturn Is In a place that is believed
to forecast increase Of crime, espe-
cially murder and robbery.
Intense political activity In which
intrigue and evil report are employ
ed IL prognosticated.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is may
have some anxiety in business affairs,
If they are not very cautious. The
young will court and marry.
Children born on this day are like
ly to be exceedingly gifted but in
clined to be extrayagant. They will
succeed best as employees.

KEEPING ON FL JOB

One thing that all of us have got to remember at the pres
ent time is that because we remained loyal to the country dur
ing the war we are not justified in deying the government or
doing anything tending to handicap or embarrass the nation
during this equally critical period Immediately following the
war.
Loyalty and earnest support of the government is needed
even more now than during hostlities for when the fighting is
going on strict war regulations are in force and any ~disorderly
elements are handled s%ummarily. With these war restrictions
removed, however, the people are given more freedom, yet the
reaction, especially after such a war as we have just passed
Through, is even worse than the action itself. 1t is-time for
cool heads and willingness to sacrifice in order to make good
that which has been destroyed.
Labor did, indeed, remain loyal throughout the war, as
the representatives of the marine workers now on strike in
New York, claim, but now that the war is over and production
in all lines is the greatest need of the hour In order to reduce
prices and restore normal conditions, these workers refuse to
abide by the order of the United States Shipping Board on the
ground that their loyalty during the war justines them in in
3isting on their demands now.
There is reason to believe that the radicals who are urging
the men to strike at this critical period do not represent the
really loyal element among the workers of this country. The
average wage-earner realizes that there is still a great deal to
be done before we can hope to have conditions restored to nor
NAL and they understand that while 1t is hard to make ends
meet at the present time, the only solution is to work extra
hard to readjust affairs to a peace basis.
This is particularly noticeable here in Perth Amboy, a
CITY made up almost entirely of the laboring class. The loyalty
of the workers here was clearly demonstrated during the war
and it is being equally manifested during these trying times Of
reconstruction. While there are some radical leaders who
would undermine this patriotism and loyalty If they could,
the great mass Of men remain at work realizing that, ON the
whole, their lot Is no harder than the average persons and they
are willing to see the nation firmly on It's feet once more before
thew beQin to demands that oopnof I1n b~t ao1~....
TO say the least, those who are trying SO hard to readjust con-
ditions satisfactorily.
The loyalty of the ~shipyard workers here when a strike Is
on in other parts of the harbor of New York Is typical Of labor
generally in Perth Amboy. Too much praise cannot be given
these men for continuing to "do their Bit as we used to say
during the war, In order to increase production; they are keep
Ing on the job when Uncle Sam and the world In general Is 80
sadly in need of just such faithfulness on the part OF every
citizen.
It'll not enough to be merely loyal during the war. We
have got to show our willingness TO aid the country in times OF
reconstruction as well II we would be 100 per cent American,

A Dubious Victory

Ostensibly the Dairymen's League
and the New York farmer have won in
the milk fight. But have they? A fight
is never settled until it is settled right
and there have been many victories more
costly than defeat
What has really happened is this:
The sanctity Of the Warren formula has
been sustained in New York, and New
ork only, as q basis for fixing the
price; an economic use to which it was
never intended to be put While a high
er price is paid in the months Of scarcity.
lower price is assigned to the months
of plenty. This encourages the winter
farmer, but discourages the summer
farmer, and thereby decreases produc-
ton. price fixing" is an economic fall
lacy, always bringing it's own reactions.
The experience of the Federal Food
Board even under war conditions demon
strated this, and it was practised onlv in
few emergency cases and ALWAYS was
attended by many and acute difficulties.
The whole problem is so complex as to
lend itself readily to misrepresentation.
Placing an arbitrary value on winter
milk IN New York State greater than
that asked in surrounding territory
cannot but place the dairy industry of
the state in a disastrous position in the
long run. And out of a conviction that
the farmers and consumers interests
are one and should be protected, we un-
qualliledly regret the so-called victory of
the Dairymen's League in fixing price
Tor January milk that is based on ar
bitrary and shifting considerations and
is obtained by ''strike methods"
The whole attitude of the conflicting
interests has been retrogressive and
shortsighted, ignoring the best lessons
of food regulation learned during the
war; lessons which are being applied in
other industries with profit to every one.
10 the consumer one thing is proved.
namely, that both producer and distribu-
ter must be licensed and placed under
state supervision if their interests are to
receive any consideration. And, in the
final analysis, the interests Of all three
classes are the same, for decreased con-
sumption and increased prices are Siam
ese twins and can never be separated.
The vicious tendency to promote the
handling Of smaller volume of food at
an increased margin is one of the most
threatening factors of the food problem.
1t is an outgrowth of the increased cost
of distribution and inadequate terminal
facilities and is always present in any
poorly organized food industry. No
where is it more threatening than in the
case of the vital, perishable commodity
called milk.
New-York tribune., 1919-01-21

managed its food supplies admirably, and
where there has been no real dearth
throughout the war, food prices have
risen sharply since the armstice was
signed 1t is evident that the destruc-
ton of shipping and, more broadly, the
whole disturbance Of transportation
wrought by the submarine and other
forces in the war, will have deep effect
for good while to come. j.. There seems
now little prospect for cheaper food
prices anywhere this year. 1t seems
likewise clear that all the wild calamity
talk about the United States being sad
died with a loss of "bllion dollars"
on its wheat guarantee was as baseless
as 1T was vicious. The world, even the
United States, will need all the wheat it
can get, and will pay high price for it.

Labor as a Government Ernploye

There are vast complications in the at
titude Of organized labor toward the
great new body of Federal employees. If
the farreaching agencies now operated
by the government are to be retained in
peace times and if the great army of
employees are to be made civil servants
then the knotty problem of unionzing
the civil service, which has caused
enough trouble already in the Postoffce,
will be bitterly aggravated.
The right Of civil servants to organize
and to participate in politics through
their organizations was warmly cham
pioned at the convention of the New York
labor party. Within the last few days
the American Federation Of Labor and
the Central Federated Union of New
York City have brought to the fore from
another angle the relations of labor to
the government employer. The Central
Federated Union has passed resolution
setting forth that government salaries
have been practically stationary for the
last sixty-six years." and urging the adj
dition of dollar d day to the pay cnvc-

Our Debt to General Wood

giving most excellent reasons why the gen
eral would be an ideal candidate for Presi-
dent of the United States Two other rea-
sons for such a choice have long been in
my mind one is the fact that we, as a
nation, indebted to General Wood
more than to any other living American
for our ability to win out in the war, even
at the eleventh hour. General Wood had
the vision that official Washington lacked;
as far-sighted soldier he realized the I'M
perative need of large body of reserve
officers to train and instruct vast army
and in spite of Washington he produced the
officers. Our drafted men would otherwise
have been but mob.
The great task undertaken and performed
by General Wood in the face of many dis
couragements saved us, but brought upon
himself the petty and wicked hostility of
the pacfsts in control Mt Washington. The
humiliation to which the general was sub
Jected is matter of record and of lasting
shame. CHARLES r. HORBS.

The Great Dry Mystery
To the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
CIR: Does not the wrecking of state
rights by the prohibition amendment
complicatng an already tangled order
ing of society, demand the calling of
constitutional convention? The revou-
tionary departure in our foreign policy
makes the America of yesterday extinct.
To that add woman suffrage, and now the
prohibition amendment. We are no longer
in the torrent--it is the cascade.
The trainers of the United States Con-
stitution foresaw day such this, and
provided against it by inserting machinery
for calling a constitutional convention.
They knew that there come times when the
tide of innovation sweeps whelmingly
that the ordinary millrace cannot take care
of it; so they provided this additional spill
way, lest the food waters carry away the
dam. Besides the method of piecemeal
amendment, they inserted the mechanism
for convoking q constitutional convention
wherein the structure of state could be re-
examined from cellar to turret That ma
chinery has never been put to use; through
130 years it has remained dead letter
because we were never before in convul
sion of the state.
Some may fear lest the summoning of
