An Appalling Loss of Milk.

According TO an admission made by
Lotion Horton, president of the Sheffield
Farms Co, TO District Attorney Swami
of New York county, and printed IN the
New York City newspapers yesterday
morning, 100000 quarts OF milk daily
are being withheld from the city market,
for the express purpose OF preventing
any lowering of prices That is, this vast
quantity of milk, every drop Of which
could be used beneficially by the children
of the community, and doubtless is
needed for their proper sustenance, is
withheld deliberately for the purpose of
compelling the people TO pay exorbitant
prices for the Supplies they are permitted
to receive. 1t is estimated that the city,
every day, is using million quarts OF
milk less than il should use.
This loss in the milk supply is due to
deliberate and preconcerted restriction
Of production 1t would seem that this
process is costly to the milk producers,
but they seem 20 prefer it to reduction
in prices.
This is a most aggravating situation,
but one hard to deal with adequately.
That it is due mainly to greed for gain is
apparently attested by the loss the pro-
ducers must sustain from the large daily
restriction of the supply. But II is an out
rage that a food product so essential to
human sustenance should be so mis-
treated

DEMANDED BY HONOR.

The League of Nations proposed by
the Peace Treaty Is precisely such an
organization as Mr.. Lodge himself urged
at Union College IN 1915 as the only
means of preventing war. 1T is precisely
such an organization as Mr. Roosevelt
demanded in several Of his books, notably
in America and the Great War (see
chapters headed, "A Posse Comitatus of
Nations" and Utopia or He'll }. 1t is OPP
posed by Mr.. Lodge for purely partisan
reasons, the wish to discredit q Demo-
cratic President, and by Mr. Lodge S
Republican colleagues for precisely the
same reason that moved them to ''cut
the heart out" of the general arbitration
treaties negotiated by President Taft.
Mr. Lodge is actuated solely by animos-
ity to the President, but the Republican
Senators as a whole are actuated, as they
were in the case of MIR. Taft's arbitration
treaties by hostility to arbitration, and
a determination like that of Potsdam and
Wilhelmstiasse to keep the way to war
always open. The Republican Senators
stand precisely where the German war
party has always stood.
And yet the ratification Of the Peace
Treaty is most important; our honor de-
mands that we enter the League and do
our part in settling the results of the war
on the Rhine, on the Adriatic and In
Turkey. The reservation attached to
Article X does leave some trace OF obli-
CATION on our part to preserve the peace
Of the world and it may qe wiser to rat
ify the treaty with that reservation than
not at all In the course of time the Re-
publican Senators viii become civilized
enough to be on the side of arbitration
and against war, or they will not be in the
Senate Philadelphia r ecord.

How Mr.. Root Can Help.

Presumably, Elihu Root has large
measure of influence with the leaders of
the Republican party. They have sought
and, in some important particulars, have
adopted his advice with regard to the
treaty OF peace: even more recently have
they permitted him to sound the "kev-
note" of the Republican campaign in
New York State. Those who manage
the Republican party and those who di-
rect the Republican majority in Congress
owe some sort of Difference to Mr.. Roots
opinions and counsel
The case being as it is. why does Mr..
Root waste time in criticism and com
plants of what he appears TO deem the
governments delay in completing re-
construction? Instead OF condemning
the executive departments, why doesn't
Mr., Root turn TO the Republican Con-
gress which has the power. which has
program-presentcd to it by President
Wilson in two different messages, sub
mitted months apart-and which un-
Questionably has the obligation to legis-
late for the welfare of the country? Re-
construction is delayed; peace is post
poned; domestic affairs and foreign rela-.
tions~ are in abeyance; the American
people are under restraint because the
Republican Congress refuses to perform
its duty
Fatuous and useless is this talk Of Re
publican conventions and Republican
leaders about what should be done to
put the country on a peace-time basis.
They know what is needed and whose
duty it is to supply the need. The party
in control of Congress is the party which
must make the initiative and assume the
responsibility Let Mr.. Root remind
his fellow Republicans of that fact.

A DEBAUCHED CIVIL SERVICE.

Owing TO the opposition of the moral
elements" of Prohibition. every attempt
to provide that the enforcement officers
should be subject to the Civil Service
Law failed in Congress. The tests for
character and intelligence deemed neces-
sary in other branches of government
were in this instance pronounced a need
less handicap upon the inspired recruits
who were 10 regenerate mankind.
With recent Developments in view, the
Secretary of the National Civil Service
League says that Congress by its accept
ance Of this theory has created political
and partisan force sure, as long experience
shows, 20 be incompetent, ineffective,
blind-eyed and blackrnailing In proof
of this we have had evidence In the official
presence in Northern cities OF hand-picked
moonshine raiders from the South, and
now in New York a tragedy reveals the
fact that a conspicuous agent OF the law
under indictment for murder is an ex-
convict, released from Imprisonment just
IN time TO assume the important duty OF
regulating with gun the use of beverages
hereabou5s. Elsewhere persons clothed
with this authority have been found to
be zealots long in the employ Of the Anti
Saloon League.

garded that movement as an expression
Of the highest. morality. They gained q
great triumph for their cause by con-
vincing reluctant legislators and execu-
tives that the methods of law enforce
ment were quite as important in their
way as the law itself. 1t has remained
for Prohibition not only TO demand ex-
emption from this enlightened rule, but
to make it appear that those who insist
upon official responsibility are no better
than the lawbreakers who sometimes are
shot on sight.-New York World.

THE LOVE OF DOG FOR MAN.

Should there be a dog-heavcn? There
would be an almost universal vote in the
affirmative, we believe, il tho question
were nut 10 a referendum. The dispatch
from Blanchcster Ohio, ~ecltng the tidel-
ity of Jack, a homeless yellow dog, who
was found dead on his masters grave,
having perlshed in q recent blizzard
adds another to the lnumcrable instance
of canine loyalty. For five years, says the
dispatch. Jack had kept lonely vigil over
the grave of John Dindore, leaving IL only
long enough to get food in the nelghbor-
hood each day All efforts to coax him
away failed, and cemetery trustees re-
fused TO have him killed And in the end
he died, keeping his faithful and loving
watch
1t may be inferred that Jack was a firm
believer in the resurrection OF the body,
IN q new life somewhere; certainty he was
of n constancy and devotion equaled by
few human beings, unsurpassed even IN
angelic realms. Nothing but a yellow
dog but one who might take precedence
of most kings In noble qualities
Should Jack and other doglike him have
n heaven of their own Most people will
say yes. But Jack and the others would
say no. They would not want a heaven
of their own They would be satisfied
with nothing but their masters heaven
Without their masters, heaven would not
be heaven; with them, hell would seem
heavenly
II there arc no dogs in Heaven IL will
be sadly incomplete and many folks viii
want TO emigrate to the Dog Star. Jack
and his kind may await their masters at
the heavenly portals and bark joyous
welcome when st. Peter lets them IN.
Perhaps some of us viii only get in be-
cause of our dogs fcrvent interposihon.--

A Wise Decision.

The members Of the local post of the
American Legion are TO be congratulated
for their decision IN rejecting the proposi-
ton of bonus from the State, and favor
ing instead an appropriation Of State
money towards the erection IN this city
of a memorial hall as permanent home
for the Legion. This is practical propo-
sition. and one that viii confer benefit
upon the community as well as the
Legion.
There is something obnoxious about
the proposition of q cash bonus. Our
soldiers went to the war with a distinct
understanding as to compensation-so
much q month, with sustenance, and as
surances of provision for the families Of
those who lost their lives and Of proper
care for those incapacitated by wounds.
To further recognition they are undoubted
" entitled, and grateful governments,
national and State, will not withhold their
hands.
A fine public hall for the order in Will
mington is most appropriate suggestion.
1t is hoped the members of the Legion will
meet with success In their campaign for
carrying it to conclusion.

Just Folks
BY Edgar A. Cuest
OUR COUNTRY.


O, the Lord has blesscd our country in
thousand different ways,
He has lined its shores with winter whcrv
the sun each morning plays,
He has crowned its hills with splcDdor,
and has sown it's fields with grain,
And / wonder with such beauty why the
lips Of men complain.
We've land OF silver rivers, we've the
palm tree and the pine,
And beneath our stnrry banner we have
every plant and vine,
Oh, / don't know how TO say it, but the
Lord has layished here
All that mortal man could wish for for
his comfort and his cheer.
In our mines are gold and silver and the
more enduring steel
And there's not one lighted cottage but
contentment should reveal;
Here the children wake to laughter and
the men, Whoever they be,
Find their every task the gateway unto
opportunity.
Oh, the Lord has blessed our conutrv, it
is rich with happy fires,
1T IS rich with every pleasure which the
/ soul of man desires,
Here his soul may iipd expression in the
joys he would attain,
And / wonder in such beauty why the
lips of men complain.

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed With Sulphur it Dark
ems SO Naturally No
body Can Tell.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and
faded hair is grandmother's recipe, and
folks are again using it TO keep their hair a
good, even color, which is quite sensible,
as we are living in an age when youthful
appearance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All drug
stores sell the ready-to-use product, inn
proved by the addition OF other ingredi-
ents, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound. 1t is very popular because
nobody can discover it has been applied.
Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush
with it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
morning the gray hair disappears, but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, be-
sides beautifully darken ng the hair after a
few applications, it also produces that
soft lustre and appearance of abundance
which is SO attractive

PRESS COMMENTS.
THE OUTwORN BRYAN APPEAL.

Mr.. Bryan's consent to be an emergency
candidate for the Presidency has rot
aroused wild enthusiasm. lie speaks
modestly of himself as only last-rcsort
nominee. Most people seem to think that
his nomination ought to come not earlier
than one after the last resort. The reason
for this feeling is plain. 1t does not neces-
sarily reflect upon Mr.. Bryan. II merely
shows that the argument from human
nature as affected by politics is now dead
against Mr.. Bryan.
For twenty-four years he has been q
prominent actor on the political stage.
And by now every play Of his, every gesture
each facial expression, has become per-
fectly familiar to the people. 1t would be
impossible for him TO give a new thrill or
even TO awake the expectation OF one from
him. His political audience would sit
wearisome before him. They would have
beard il all before. He has run his whole
gamut, and every note of it long ago be-
came accustomed and thus stale All
that he would he able to display would be
the contortions of the sybil without the
inspiration. y
This is not to reproach the American
people with an incurable and discreditable
desire always to run after something new.
But Presidential candidates. must, after
all, If they have any promise of success
IN them, appeal to curiosity, to hope, to
imagination. Mr.. Bryan can now appeal
TO none Of these things. The country
feels that it has tried him out in every
possibility He has nothing of the mag
nihcent unknown in reserve. The general
mental reaction to any campaign he might
now make would be one of lassitude and
Indifference. With other candidates offer
ing all sorts of wedding tables, Mr.. Bryan
would he asking them to sit dowu'to baked
meats warmed up after dong services at
three funerals. That could he cheerful
prospect only TO tho undertaken vote.
