ILLINOIS AND MAYOR THOMPSON:

Governor Lowden carried Illinois in
the Republican Presidential primary, as
was expected, receiving a substantial
majority over both General Wood and
Hiram johnson. The only surprises in the
result were the plurality given General
Wood IN Chicago and the treaty vote
polled there by Senator Johnson, whose
name had to be written on the ballot.
Not to overestimate the significance of
these expressions, it is necessary to recall
the fact that William Hale Thompson
Is mayor of Chicago and that his energies
were exerted to the utmost In that baili-
wick against the governor. 1t is true that
Senator johnson had no organization, but
with the City Hall machine on his side he
needed none. So far as Thompson was
concerned, although he may have had
preference for johnson, General Wood or
anybody else who could deprive Lowden
Of support was highly acceptable.
The vote by which Governor Lowden
lost his own city represents to some ex-
tent the dissatisfaction of professional
politicians with measures favored by him
for the consolidation of State boards, by
which General Wood profited, and even
more emphatlcaily in the case of Senator
Johnson the combined support of pro-
Germans, Sin Feiners and other extremists
directly under the influence of the munich
pal government. In the State at large,
where these elements, if existent, were
without leadership, the Johnson vote
was negligible.
When the war was in progress Mayor
Thompson explained some of his antics
with the statement that Chicago is the.
sixth German city in the world Whether
that is true or not in any sense, there can
be no doubt from these returns that it
is a Bill Thompson city.-New York

EAT LESS SUGAR.

There is no higher authority on the
sugar situation than James H. Post,
president Of the American Sugar Re
hning Company. When he says that
wholesale prices, now about l51s cents
a pound must go higher as the summer
advances, and that a famine is in sight
if the beet production does not make
up for a 40,000-ton shortage in the
cane supply, provided folks continue
consumption at the present rate. his
words deserve to be needed Eat less
sugar IS the essence Of his plea.
Prohibition has probably contributed
TO create strenuous times in the sugar
market More candy is eaten. More
ice cream IS consumed. More coffee il
drunk. with big use Of sugar in IT, Manu-
facturers of all sorts Of sweet things
are stocking up IN anticipation of adj
vances.
But q contingent peril is no peril at
all to Americans. We are pessimistic
enough to suppose that Mr.. Posts warm
ing will be generally unheeded, that
candy lovers will 60 on in their mad
course, that sweet soft drinks will con-
tinue popular until the famine comes.
If so, the president of the American
Sugar Refining Co. will not have to
reproach himself. He has done his full
duty in the premises Brooklyn Eagle.

DISPOSITION of Scrap Paper.

Many housekeepers are very much
perturbed over the recent announcement
by the Street and Sewer Directors that
scrap paper will not hereafter be collected
by the teams of the department, and that
people will have to look after this matter
themselves. AS Scrap paper is legitimate
part of the rubbish incidental to house
keeping" which. according to the terms
of the ordinance regulating the matter
adopted years ago, the city authorities are
obligated to collect and dispose OF, the
people have looked TO them to do so.
The people may be in a quandary what
to do about the new situation. 1t Is SAID
the waste paper dealers no longer give
any attention to scrap paper, which they
formerly paid for, and will not even take It
away. 1t is not advisable to burn all oi
it, even in winter, as the practice inter
feres with the soundncss of good heating
fire. while there is complaint that IN the
summer time il incites to a sweating oi the
pipes. which in turn promotes rust.
We believe it is right for the authorities
to insist that householdcrs shall securely
tie in bundles all waste paper and other
light refuse placed on the curb Tor re-
moval. SO as to prevent the nuisance OF ITS
being distributed over the streets by the
passing breeze. But we fear refusal TO
take away this fruitful supply OF household
rubbish will work hardship to many
people. or at least impose an annoying
nuisance upon them.

PRESS COMMENTS.
THE GAME IS ON.


Fair weather temperature somewhat
below the spring normal and WIND move
that was considerably more than q gentle
zephyr, characterized the opening day
for big league baseball. The great national
game is on again. Wars, revolutions, the
divorce courts, price boosting, strikes
and rumors of strikes Of these are
going as usual, but from now on there is
another gripping interest Babe Ruth will
be hitting them over the fencesns usual
and some unknown, who has been brought
in from the bushes, will soon be electrifying
the fans with n ncw-idea curve or shoot.
To say that baseball has become
n purely business proposition is about
like saying that the drama or the opcratic
presentation is q purely business prop
osition. Viewed as TO gate receipts, big
baseball is very much in way OF being big
business. So also as TO drawing play or
as to musical presentation that fills
the theaters from the first floor TO the
galleries. So long as baseball draws in a
way TO fill the grandstand and the bleach
ers at all the scheduled games, there is
something more TO this favorite American
sport than business only"
One of the professional writers, who
has been following the games annually
from the spring training eampsto cham
pionship competition ut tho finish, has
this to say OF organized baseball at the
beginning of the 1920 season--that n
complete reorganization Of the major
and minor leagues is inevitable il the
game is to bc saved. He directs attention
to this fact of record, that "in the suit
for damages brought by the Baltimore
club of the defunct Federal League, or
ganized baseball was condemned as
trust by the civil courts" An appeal
from this decision is pending, but the
original decision is regarded as being,
at least, fair warning. Baltimore Amefi-

who are arrayed solidly against the Demo

have fockcd To tho Republican camp.
And seeing these. they look upon the
Republican party as invincible in Its
voting strength.
Let these misguided ones turn their eyes
away from these vicious and unpatrlotic
alien clements, hostile to our people and
our free institutions, and reflect II they
can add strength 10 any political party
that eagerly welcomes them and hopes to
assimilate them into party comradesmp.

The Republican Primary Contest.

Tomorrow the Republicans OF Delaware
will fight their first factional battle of the
national campaign of 1920, at a primary
contest for the election of delegates to the
Republican State Convention to be held
at Dover. next Tuesday. There are oppos-
ing delegate tickets in several districts IN
New Castle and Kent counties and bit
ter factional fight in Sussex that covers
the entire county.
Outside of Sussex county it is difficult
to determine the real line of division, but
it looks as though the old Organization,
which was knocked out of power by Alfred
|. du Pont two years ago, is insldiously
endeavoring to regain control of the party.
1t has a clear field in all the uneontested
districts, it is said, and in the Kent and
New Castle contests is expected to prove
victorious. The Alfred l. du Pont New
Dispensation does not seem to be in open
evidence.
The fight in Sussex county Is for and
against Governor Townsend as q dele
gate to the Republican National Conven-
ton, and although the New Dispensation
leaders arc fighting the governor and the
Organization leaders generally standing by
him. the animus OF the contest is purely
personal. Governor Townsend S factional
enemies wish to beat him and deprive him
of all political prestige The indications
are. however, that the governor will win.

Pershing in the Field.

Doubtless encouraged by the manifest
evidence of an approaching collapse oil the
General Wood boom for the Repubhcan
Presidential nomination, General Pershmg
has decided to place his prospects to the
test. He has made public announcement
that "his long service IN the government
made it incumbent upon him TO serve as
President if he is called upon by the coun-
trv to perform the duties Of that highest
office" So now he will complacentiy
await the call. He is assured OF the he-
nubIican delegation from his own State,
Nebraska. and may be able to pick up
few more delegates here and there, SO as TO
give him place in the running.
According to the present outlook,
Pershing's chances are as good as those
of any other aspirant. No one candidate
threatens to go to the Chicago convention
with a commanding lead, and Pershmg
will no doubt be encouraged by the 'o'd
Guard leaders as club to beat down
Wood Johnson and others undesirable to
them. and so enable them to nominate
their real choice, the negative Harding OF
Ohio.
Soldier candidates are popular, as a rule,
but not always successful. But Pershme
as a Republican candidate for President
seems impossible from one point OF view.
Republican leaders are fighting the ma
tional administration and doing all they
can 10 belittle its splendid accomplish
ments during the war. With Pershlng as
their candidate they could not continue
this policy without belittling him also.

BARGAINING OUT OF FASHION.

A contrihutory cause of high prices
that has not been often, il at oil, mentioned
hitherto in discussion of the subject is
offered for consideration by the St Louis
Globe Democrat. One reason why living
is SO expensive, ii declares, is because the
art Of bargaining of beating down,
as il used TO be called been almost
forgotten in most parts of the country
and is never practiced by a majority Of
its inhabitants.
To the big department stores is due
the introduction and firm establishment
in practically all our shops of the one-price
system of selling. Its advantages and
benefits for buyer rs well as seller are
many and well recognized, and nobody
seriously would propose a return to the
old method of adjusting retail prices more
or less To whatever amount II was thought
by the dealer the customer would pay.
There il at least excuse for contending
however, as the Globe-Democrat does
that the one-price plan has done much TO
decrease buying with discrimination.
Purchasing has come TO be largely,
and perhaps too large. a matter Of take IL
or leave It, and "a things often cannot be
left, and must be taken, taken they are,
whatever they cost. The opportunity
for exploitations thus offered Go the re-
taiers Is obvious, and that some of them
utilize it would be denied only by those
whose faith in human nature is-well
a little pathetic, 50 lacking is it in basis
of experience.
Just how much the loss or dirninution
Of the bargaining sometimes called the
haggling instinct should be regretted is
a matter Of opinion. The old struggle
of buyer with seller was not very seemly
or ennobling process for either party 20
it, and perhaps the reduction Of expendi-
ture il produced was not really lfrge.--
