OUR GREAT NATIONAL DISCOv'
 FRY.

It was not so long ago that the vegetarian was looked on as an in considerate crank. Among people who were accustomed to meat three times day, he was not welcome guest. They were inclined to look on his distaste for meat as an eccentrici- ty which it was held he had acquired for malicious purpose.
 Perhaps this individual who proved often so annoying to the housewife when as guest he taxed to the limits her resources to provide meal for < him, has not greatly changed. He
 may be us relentless a vegetarian as ever. Perhaps even those who once held him in low esteem have not .xehanged their opinions about him even today. The fact is, however, that as nation we have changed in our attitude towards eating meat khree times a day.
 4 good share of the propaganda of wartime was devoted to teaching the food value of vegetables, in order to decrease the home consumption of meat so that there might be more of it to send to the boys abroad. While ! in this country we were never forced to observe meatless days as were the civilian population in other countries, It IS true that there was much volun- sstary abstention from meat. And as dietitians had predicted for many years, people found that they got nlong very comfortable with much less meat than they had been in the habit of eating.
 nj great hotels where careful rec s6rds are kept of what is eaten by nnfrons of restaurants and dining r6oms it is found that at times 20 aner cent of the orders are for meals which include no meat. At one of the 1nxrest of these hotels it was found recently that vegetable dinners con Stltpted one-seventh of the total s nSnber of dinners served. 9
 Thus has the vegetarian come into < Kis own. For although. perhaps. we " ! nation shall never be as relent- < TIT in our refusal of meats as is the ] ksroueh h-eoine vegetarian, it is no,

THE PERPETUAL DIsTURBER.

Senator Reed is out with another howl.
 Hardly had. the papers announced that the Polish Russian situation threatened complications when the senator burst forth with denuncia- : tion of England and Japan and the democratic administration.
 Mr. Reed had already placed the blame for the Polish troubles on England and Japan and is flaming the flames of prejudice against them. He cries for the return of the Amcri- can troops now on the Rhine in much the same manner as the ordinary man would protest if they were on field of battle and surrounded by hostile forces which were pouring lead into them.
 Japanese cupidity and British greed probably have bearing on the pres ent situation. The troops on the Rhine stand a certain chance of be- ing mixed up in the affair. But neith. 1T plaint is an excuse for alarm. Il has long been known that Japan and Britain were ambitious and. greedy; just as it is known that every other nation is looking out for itself. It is 1. also known that neither wants war !

Mere Matter Of Denial.

Mr.. F. D. Roosevelt. notwithstand-
ing his "whirlwind tours" seems to
find time to utter denials. some Of
which do not appear to be taken
seriously. Readers will recall that he
was reported to have said in one Of
his speeches in Montana that he had
held in his pocket the votes Of Haiti
and San Domingo, also that he wrote
the constitution of Haiti and con-
sidered it "a pretty good little con-
stitution--no provisions in it against
killing '-niggers"-also that President
Wilson had. as it were, slipped one
over on Lloyd George, in that the
United States would have twelve
votes in the league to England's six.
These readers may also recall that
when he was whirlwinding through
Maine he took occasion to deny that
he had made such talk.
Thereupon the Associated Press
made a thorough investigation and
satisfied itself-and doubtless many
others-that its correspondent re-
ported Rooseveit's speech accurately.

Just as the Consortium is being

about on Nov to take a step that

which has been fomenting in that
State and fostered by certain indi-

to do any lawful thing that any other

Editorial Comment
A Significant Straw Vote.
fBoston Herald)


That was a significant straw vote
at the meeting of the Boston Con-
gregational Club on Monday night
and reported in yesterdays Herald.
The clergymen and representative
laymen, members of the club. are
precisely of the type which the Cox
pro-leaguers are trying to persuade
that the league of nations is chiefly
moral ISSUE" and that Cox. for
some mysterious reason, is to be
accepted as on the moral side of it.
But the club voted 159 for Harding,
sixteen for Cox and five scattering.
Perhaps it was because they could
not contemplate with composure the
elevation to the presidential office
Of a man of the type that Candidate
Cox has disclosed himself to be:
perhaps they had not forgotten the
open appeal of the president OF the
New Jersey Federation of Liquor
Interests for funds for the Cox cam
paign- on the ground that Cox was
"a pronounced wet" whose nominal
ton was "a big victory for our in
terests": perhaps they felt that four
years of Cox in the White House
would be a good deal to pay for an
expression of rather hazy opinion
upon an issue on which statesmen
disagree; perhaps they realized that
the most pressing need of the coun-
try was release from one-man gov.
eminent. the end of reckless ex-
travagance and general clearing
out of the overmanned and over
paid departments at Washington.
But whichever of these reasons.
or all combined. explain the vote.
there is the record of it-159 Tor
Harding and sixteen for Cox.

"Profl;oate Waste;" 1sf2-fe20
Chicago Tribune, Rep

Chicago Tribune, Rep,
One of the advantages the Demo-
Gratis have in this campaign is the
aid of the army of Federal office-
holders who owe their jobs not TO
service but to favor.
When the armistice was signed
there were 117,454 employees In
Washington. Thousands OF them
kept short hours and did little or
nothing in them. The scandal was
rank. but it was not abated. In the
ordnance bureau alone it is asserted
that there were more employees than
Great Britain had for her entire ma
val and military forces.
Eight months after the armlstlce
the number of Federal employees IN
Washington was 1o0.sl4. a shrink
age Of only 1900. and seven months
later il was l00.l1o. a reduction OF
504 in that period
Outside of Washington the Govern
ment employees. when Mr.. Wilson's
administration began in 1913, were
3so.5s3. One year after the actual
end of the war they were 1So,i1o, or
nearly double.
We heard q good deal of the dollar
a-year men. but nothing of Mr.. Nc
Adoo's staff in the railroad admins
tration. six men at $4,000 a year;
two at 10000. three at $4,000. two
at $50, 900. ten at $4,000, nine at
$1,000 etc. etc. Some of these were
expert railroad men and doubtless
worth the money. Others were de-
serving Democrats
The Democrats platform Of 1912
contained the following:
We denounce the profiigate waste
OF the money wrung from the people
by oppressive taxation through the
lavish appropriation of recent Re
publican Congresses. which have kept
taxes high and reduced the pGrchas-
ing power of the peoples toll"
Even if that were 100 per cent jus
tilted. the Wilson administration has
made the "prohigate waste" of that
charge look like an ant hill.

The art Of salesmanship is good

lie might reply that Cox's ignorance
of the art Of salesmanship as applied
