who refuses to buy until the price is
forced down by making a surplus. The
best way to break the backbone of the
trust, said Mr.. Roth. is for people to
refuse to buy sugar and absolutely quit
consuming it. The people of the Pa
cffic northwest could cut down the
price materially within ten days IL they
would undertake such method as is
outlined by the local dealer.
In the opinion of Mr. Roth the pres
ent price means ruin to this country.
1t is prohibitive and manufacturers
and packers are not going to put up
much ofanything in the way of fruits
at the present price of sugar. Local
packers have agreed. it is said, not to
put up any more than they have or.
ders for.
If wearing overalls will manifest a
desire to fight the high cost of living,
so will a boycott on the sugar trust.
and 1t is just as reasonable an under
taking, he says.
Mr.. Roth recommends the use Of
riceand beans as substitute for pota-
toes as beans sell for less money today
than they have for five years.

STRIKERS WARN AGAINST
FURTHER SETTLEMENT DELAY
Washington. Apr. "a. - Warning
against further delay in setting the
wage demands of the two million rail-
road workers of the country. Timothy
Shea, president Of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen, told the
railroad labor board today that the
men were fed up on promises, and
dead. dog-tired of delays"
Mr.. Shea presented the demands of
the firemen and hostlers for a basic
living wage of $3.50 a day, with differ
entails for skill. responsibility. expert
ence and the increase in the cost OF
living since the demands were first
presented last June.
When he had urged tn striking rail-
road men In the east to return to work
Shea said their almost universal justi-
fication for striking was that they and
their families were starving at work
and they might just as well starve not
working"
Mr.. Shea said the railroad workers
had been patient and they had been
patriotic.
Patience Exhausted"
I'VE were patriotic he said while
the thousands and tens OF thousands
of millionaires were being created. We
have been patient while the profiteers
have paused in their orgy of spending
ill-gotten gains only long enough to
skyrocket prices still higher and make
a mockery of our governments prom
ise that living costs would be reduced.
"Gentlemen the time has come
when our people say they win no long
er be patriotic only to be plundered.
nor patient. only tor be pauperized.
They have learned by bitter experience
that their landlords are not patriotic
and their grocers are not patient.
They are fed up on promises and they
are dead, dog-tired of delays"
Congress is to be petitioned to pass
a resolution asking President Wilson
to direct the railroad labor board to
hear the complaints Of the non-rec'
ognized railroad workers. r. ]. Mitch
ell of the Chicago Enginemen's asso-
citation announced today.

to intervene to have the board hear

From countries where strong tyrants

Their vicious will upon the weak,
They sought our blessed strand.
From out lis yoke each weary neck
Stretched toward kind freedom sun
Here sceptred power would never check
Ambitions trend, nor try to wreck

Beneath the guiding beaoon-arm
OF noble liberty,
They who had fed from vengefui harm
Asked Of our land its gift of charm
And swift prosperity,
Today, like reptiles warmed and fed-
Upon us all they turn
The flag they faunt Is one OF dread
The hue Of blood aggressive red
And with mad hate they burn.
Hate-that Their joys have multiplied:
Hate-that their souls are free.
Hatc-that no chance has been denied
For gaining honor, fame, and pride
Here, where such chances bel
They sought our shores downcast, forlorn,
And entered at our gate,

Of the United States Housing Corporation
excuse the construction Of expensive homes
equipped so completely In some in
stances as to include patent washing

attached on the ground that "of all
assets which the country has today,
none Is greater, none is needed more,
than good housing and the individual
ownership OF homes which create loyal
and useful citizens"
True But it was the average per
sons impression that the housing cor
poratlon was intended 70 make temporary
homes for workmen employed on essentials
to the prosecution Of the war. Yet the
housing corporation went 50 extensively
into the creation Of homes to promote
loyal and useful citizenship that practical
ly none was ready for occupation when

fighting ceased. II it had been thirty

PRESS COMMENT.
POSTCARD PLATFORMS.

PASTE this In your hat" may become
a literal bit of advice if Mr.. Hays per-
suades the platform COMMITTEES OF his
party, non supposed to be hard at work
upon best seller for 1920, TO condense
the result of their labors into declara-
ton that can he placed on postcard. A
platform in the hand, he seems to think,
is worth two In next years almanac. But
in coming out for this reform he Is setting
himself against the natural tendency of
platform makers. To them a short plat
form is a monstrosity. AS well speak OF
short skyscraper. Little platforms for
little parties, perhaps, but not for grown
up ones.
One OF the shortest platforms in our
history was that OF the Constitutional
Union party In 1860 Whereas" it be-
gan, experience has demonstrated that
platforms adopted by the partisan CON
ventions OF the country have bad the
effect To mislead and deceive the people.
Resolved, That it is both the part
of patriotism and of duty to recognize
no political principle other than the Con
stitution of the country, the union OF the
States and the enforcement OF the laws.
The entire platform, while not so short
as the 1873 word platform of the Com
mittec OF forty-eight, could have been
put on a postcard.
IF these were the only examples OF short
platforms MIR Hays might not feel like
adding Republican one to their number.
But for the encouragement of those who
may be willing TO spend hours OF time and
thousands OF words in arguing the advant-
ages of brevity it may he pointed out
that the shortest platform ever put be-
r.. a. hot
jackson was reelected A committee which
had been appointed TO prepare an ad-
dress in support of the action of the con-
vention in renominating the President
reported on the last day that the tune
had been too short for it To fulfil its duty
and the convention accepted this report
as satisfactory Running upon this vacuum
Jackson corrallcd 2I9 Of the 2S6 electoral
votes. The very first political platform
in this country to he adopted by national
convention appeared that same year,
1882. being issued by an assembly OF
Young men who endorsed the ticket OF
the National Pepublicans. This platform
had ten planks,
There IS no relation between the length
Of a platform and the import ance OF the
campaign in which 1t cures. In lSoO
the Douglas platform was composed oi
six short planks, the Breckenridge plat
form OF the same number. The platform
upon which Lincoln ran had seventeen
blanks But platforms have been inclined
10 grow. They reached monstrotR
length in 1912, when the Republican
announcement had $500 words; the
Socialist and the Progressive 4,SO0 each
and the Democratic 500. Against
blasts Of such inordinate length voters in
stinctivolv protect themselves They have
a short way with long platforms.-New
