Saving Democracy at Home

In one passage the Presidents speech
strikes a true and high note. 1t is the
one in which he declares that the nation
cannot overnight revolutionize all the
processes of it's economic life and that the
government will not cover before the
threats of any group.
AS Mr.. Stimson pointed out in his let
ter in yesterdays Tribune, our democ-
racy faces something akin to crisis
when any considerable body of persons
claims that minority has a right to
rule. Nothing less than an uncoerced
majority, speaking it's will through
free institutions, has authority in the
Republic. Let a minority seek to bring
all it can to its view This is it's unhin-
dered privilege. But it may not, follow
ing exotic ideas which have been poison
ously distilled in politically backward
European nations, claim it has been
divinely appointed to exercise mastery.
AS to this there can be no compromise.
and the President will find rallying to
his support every sound element of our
life in any struggle which involves a
principle vital to democracy.
The President spoke temperately when
lie touched on this theme, but there is a
calm resouteness in his words which
suggests that as to the great essential
he will yield nothing. Whatever doubt
may be entertained as to the persistence
Of his purpose in other directions, what
ever irritation may be felt over his IL
relevant attempt to make capital for his
personal ideas because larders cannot be
chcaply filed, whatever criticism is jus
titled because of his neglect to discuss
the real causes of the high cost of living,
bis manner leaves little doubt that he
viii not waver in defence of majority
rule.
This affords great reason for satisfac-
ton, for rumors have been afloat that
he was being urged by influences which
led him to write his prediction letter
Of last year to see that political ad-
vantages might flow from catering to
bellicose minorities. The apprehensons
thus aroused may, it seems, be laid aside.
In many details the President is sympa-
thetic toward the ideals of the radical
group, but when they uncovered their
main position he launched a Big Bertha
shell at it.
New-York tribune., 1919-08-10

difference between what the producer gets
and what the buyer from him sells for.
In 1917; for example, the price Of dressed
beef was 1855 per cent of the price of
cattle on the hoof and in 1918 it was tho
same 1856 per cent. The rise in land
values sufficiently attests the fact that
the primary food producer has made ex
traordinary dollar gains.
Here and there, by small savings and
remedies, it is, of course, possible to re-
duce the profits Of manufacturers and
traders, but it may be put down as GER
tain that there will be no material reduc
ton in food prices until the farmer
gets less. And, as the President says,
1T is difficult to deny the justice of wage
increases if food prices are not brought
down. SO the country faces an agrarian
question for the first time in it's history.
The public is now to large degree
confused, but before long it will get it's
bearings and realize what element is en-
Joylng the chief gains from the dollars
change in purchasing power. Heretofore
the American farmer seldom, all things
considered, did WE'LL His lot has been
hard one. But a great revolution has
come and the owner Of arabic land, par
ticularly in the Middle West, has been
enriched. His tenant, compelled to pay
higher rent, of course finds it about as
hard as ever to plough living from the
soil, but the landlord, the owner, is riding
in his automobile or on prolonged vaca-
tion in California.
New-York tribune., 1919-08-10
Humble Cousin Henry"

The mingled servility and arrogance
letter which Prince Henry of Prussia
has written to the King Of England.
Although the fact that he had written
it was made public some days ago, it has
remained for the Hamburger Nach,ich-
ten to print the precious epistle. Sign
ing himself "Your humble cousin,
Henry" the brother of the former Kaiser
begins with plea for mercy for the inn
perial criminal. But he soon forgets his
role of humility, arguing that if any one
is to be tried the leading statesmen of
the Allied powers should be put in the
dock as primarily and urgently sus-
pected of guilt in the world war" And
he enlarges upon the accusation that
England brought on the war out of COM
mercial jealousy.
This is hardly the voice of a humble
cousin. Prince Henry's obvious pur-
pose is to embarrass the King by re-
mndIng him of the relationship He
must know perfectly we'll that George V
-''@S -" ANS"i "0Oiiotlty 10 lHtcrICTe WIN
the decision to try the former Kaiser or
even to prevent trial in England
That 1t is personally distressing to him
to see grandson of Queen Victoria in
such predicament every one will re-
allze The British government might
consider this fact so far as to suggest q
change of venue. But the King has too
much tact and sense of propriety to Law
any stress upon the personal aspect of
the matter. 1t is unlikely that his
humble cousin does not know this and i
not seeking deliberately to add to the
difficulties of his position
Characteristic, too, is the threat of re-
prisals. The "brave" German people
have been hit hard, but they are "not
dead" Nor is "the German spirit"
Some day it twill awake to full con-
sciousness Of the disgrace and shame
that have been inflicted upon it" and will
demand reckoning" All this we have
heard before. The German spirit is the
same in prince and pauper. No one can
say that the world does not know what to
expect from it. The question is whether
the world may not too soon forget. Hum
bic Cousin Henry is just as exactly as
humble as the rest fpf his countrymen.

Universal Price Labelling

"All goods destined for interstate COM
merce should in every instance where
their form or package makes it possible
be plainly marked with the prices at
which they left the hands Of the pro-
ducer." In many cases such practice
would doubtless be protective of pur-
chasers, but generally followed it would
be interesting to watch results.
Who is the producer? The man who
raises beans or the man who cans them?
Who stands first in line to make the first
entry? If the system were applied
equally and logically all would need to
turn expert accountants.
The farmer coming to town and get
ting $2.26 for his wheat would need to
plaster his wagon with placards attesting
what the grain cost--how much went for
labor, how much for seed, how much for
wear of machinery. The farmer seldom
actually knows, yet if he erred he would
confront the rigors of the law.
Though restricted to the retailer and
those directly supplying him, absolutely
honest labelling would be difficult In
retrospect, by checking over his opera
tions and by allowing for raw materials,
for labor, for repairs, for overhead ex-
penses, etc, manufacturer can approx
mate to knowledge Of what a particular
package costs him; but he is not sure as
to current production.
The retailer would face task similarly
complicated. Would the invoice price be
the guide, or should a waiting world be
informed concerning breakages, spoil
ages, railroad charges, carriage, rent,
clerk hire and the like? 1t takes the CO.
operating efforts Of 10000 persons to
furnish an ordinary dinner. Imagine the
plight of the restaurateur who sought
to give correct label when he gave a
customer meal check. Even an expert
of scholastic government could not
work out satisfactory exhibit or get
piece Of paper big enough to print
it on.
The proposal looks we'll in print. On
theory's side little can be said against
it. Labelling goods with respect to
quantity works we'll, but weight and cubi-
cal content are definite and measurable.
Costs are inconstant, vary from day
to day, are subject to unforeseeable cir
cumstances. In the morning a tobacco
raiser might say his crop would cost him
10 cents pound. A hailstorm before
night might quintuple the cost So this
particular remedy for high prices seems
one to pack away in lavender.
