70 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The more or less divergent
views submitted by the Tribune read

National Convention, as the various
blanks are The voice of the people.
An analysis Of all the suggestions re-
yeals that pproximtely so per cent re-
gard the condition Of social unrest to
be the predominant issue. The sub
jects Labor and Capital "Bolshev-
ISM" "Cost of Living" "Prohibition'
and many others deal directly or indi-
rectly with this big problem.
Labor only demands an equal repre-
sentation of labor and capital interests
Boshevism will be almost extinct when
the present conditions are relieved. A
striking blow at prohteering and less
extravagance VIII be effective.
Popular sentiment favors beer and
light wines That whisky is curse
is a fact beyond controversy, neverthc-
less its value for medical purposes can
not be overestimated.
The man OF the hour is one who can
diagnose this turmoil and prescribe the
proper remedy. r. T. NICHOLS.

Lincoln's Words Urged as
Platform for ReDublicnns

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: can see but one platform which
would embrace all issues in this COM
ing election. They were the words
spoken by the greatest and wisest Re-
publican that ever lived Abraham
Lincoln.
". this nation under God shall
have new birth of freedom, and that
government of the people,. by the peo-
pie and for the people shall not perish
from the EARTH"

and could anything be more needed

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Have we not, this long while.
had too much sounding politics--too
little sound economies? We need to-
day constructive, economic thought
and clear-cut economic action. The
next Administration should rive its
chief attention to long neglected de-
tails of domestic housekeeping. All
the political "ol' clo'" men. however.
are going through the ancient stand
ardized performance of diving into
the partisan ragbag and fishing there
from poor bits of political s'issues"
with which to beat the weary air.
Why, in comparatively new coun-
try. should the cost Of living have
risen to such a degree? This rise
had begun before the war, and to it
the war merely gave new impulse. 1t
is certainly in good measure to be
traced to the persistent carelessness Of
the American people and the, lack Of a
spirit of wise conservation. We mean
conservation in broad sense.
Native lumber is high in price be-
cause our forests have been wasted.
Sea food is high in price because of
diminished supply. Native wild game
is expensive because it has been reck-
lessly slaughtered. Freight rates are
high partly because our inland water
ways, both natural and artificial have
been neglected.
Foodstuffs are high in price in part
because Of under reproduction. Coal is
high in price partly because of profit
gate methods in mining. Taxes are
high partly because of official heed
lessness or extravaganza. The cost Of

Depravity in High Cost
Is Traced to Strikes
Curtailed Production Also Held
Contributory to In
flated Prices

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir:' When the demand for COM
modify or service exceeds the supply
the price invariably ascends. Strikes
have curtailed production and have
stimulated this depravity.
We are now physically at peace,
but we desire the accommodations en-
joyed previous to our participation in
the World War. This is impossible
under the circumstances.
The Republican party should nomi.
nate q Presidential candidate who is
thoroughly versed with financial affairs
and business man who can diagnose
tho social turmoil and prescribe the
suitable remedy. Our form of gov
crnment is destined to progress, but
clear judgment and tact must be ex-
ercised to accomplish this task.

Federal Appointments
By Congress Opposed

Drawn Held Good Enough

for U. S. Government

1OT Os De OOVcfuIHCNh
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The suggestion that Federal ap-
pointments should be turned over to
the members of Congress instead of
being, as at present, vested n the
hands of the President is no. IL accord
with the principles on whicn our gov
ernment was founded. The Fathers Of
the Republic created three coordinate
branches Of government - executive,
legislative and judicial.
Many attempts have been made to
improve upon the Federal Constitution,
but it still remains the supreme law
Of the land. It embodies the great
principles that have made the United
States the mightiest republic in his
tory, and long may it continue to shed
it's benign influence not only upon our
own people but upon all the peoples Of
the earth. ]. J. NJ.

Unit of Capital and Labor

War is devourer, consuming and
depicting necessaries and stocks of
many kinds; to replace and create
is the aim Of nations and the direct
province Of capital and labor. Indi-
viduals, singly or collectively, are
reward and the pride Of ownership.
The Republican party, therefore,
heartily indorses real relationship
between capital and labor wherein
both labor and capital shall not deem
themselves thing apart, but unit
held firmly together by common in
terebt and the good Of mankind

Eliminate selfshnes.

The Republican party unhesitat-

all things undone that will create
doubt, distrust and dissent between
classes, sections or sects.-Fred N.

The Republican party deplores and
repudiates pacifism, whatever its
form. 1t pledges the fullest measure
Of support to crush this un-American

We believe the Executive should
have no power to negotiate treaty

Senate, and no appointment to any

tee should be legal without the SEN

There are said to be more snakes
in Brazil than in any other country of
the western hemisphere, an exchange
remarks. At Batuntan, near Sac
PauIo, there is great snake garden
where scientists are studying the nys-
teries of snake biology. The original
season for the establishment of the
garden, which Is a huge nursery for
snakes, was to obtain serum enough
for those bitten by snakes throughout
Brazil. The garden is 600 acres in ex-
tent and divided into three DEPART
ments, two of which are devotel to
cobras, crotallds and bothrops. the
most poisonous snakes known; while
the third department is given to the

FORKS FIRST USED IN 1874
III Of France-Account Given by
Royal Guest

1t is hard to believe the sensation
use. 1t was in 1874, at a dinner given
by Henry III of France. Here is
an account by a royal lady guest, the
Ladies' Home Journal recalls: 1.-THE
guests never touched the meat with
their fingers, but with forks, which
they carried to their mouths, bending
their necks and bodies over their
plates.
There were several salads. These
they ate with forks, for it is not CON
sdered proper to touch the food with
the fingers However difficult it may
be to manage it, II is thought better
to put the little instrument in the
mouth than the fingers
Then artichokes, asparagus, peas
and beans were brought 1t was a
pleasure to watch them try to eat
these with their forks, for some, who
we're less adroit than the others,
dropped as many on their plates and
on the way to the mouth as they were
able to get to their mouths.
"Afterward a great silver basin and
a pitcher Of water We're brought and
the guests washed their hands. though
It seems as If there would not be much
scent of meat and grease on them, for
they had touched their food only with
those forked Instruments"

BEING FAT IS REAL TRAGEDY
Re Modern Woman II Is a Worry That
Frequently Leads to Ruined
Health and insanity.

A Fat man is usually a jolly sort of
an individual who accepts the world
as the same sort of a Joke as the
world considers him. Girth, says the
New York Sun, may worry a man Oc-
casionally because 1t is an annoyance,
but with the modern woman 1t verges
upon tragedy. As physicians-if they
would talk freely--Can tell you. II is
q worry to them that frequently leads
to ruined health. insanity or the
grave.
1t Is possible for a man to grow
fat gracefully. At least he can sub
due his habits, stop running for
trains, give up his golf and spend
most of his time In ponderous poses.
His tailor can easily arrange his
clothing into well-known and accept
ed lines.
The case of the woman Is different.
Fashion binds her as with a chain.
There are no stylish frocks for stout
women. The fashion of today calls
for slim figures and trim ankles.
waists and hips are taboo. There are
no sleeves capable Of concealing over
fleshed arms. Man can adapt his
clothes to his figure, but woman must
adapt he figure 10 the clothes, or else
shamelessly admit that she cannot
wear what is fashionable.
1t was not always so. In another
generation the stout woman had well
defined place-the "dowager type" it
was sometimes called. The woman
who made the best biscuits and
cooked the most savOry chicken was
always a rotund sort Of person who
never minded 1t when people came
Unexpectedly around dinner time. She
was the one children flocked to for
sympathy and the one who seemed
to make the world brighter wherever
she went.

AUTO PRICES ARE
NOT APT TO COME

Everywhere people are beginning
to discover that automobile prices
are not apt to come down this fall,
This was brought out most force
fully by a survey recently conduct
ed by the Jordan Motor Car COM
pany of Cleveland.
Manufacturers as a whole are
opposed to advancing the price OF
their cars beyond present figures
However, because of fundamental
conditions the tendency is very
definitely toward even higher
prices.
While the success of the indi-
yiduai automobile concerns de-
ponds In part on big production at
moderate prices, this Is not true
TODAY because of other factors be-
You'd the control of any one manu-
facturer.
Good cars of distinction and re-
liability, that can be operated
economically, continues to be in
demand far beyond the ability of
the manufacturers to produce
The outlook for business as q
whole is most optimistic. In Ger
tain sections the Jordan Motor
company's' survey Indicated d
tightening by the banks in regard
to credit for automobile distrlpu-
tors and dealers. Many sections,
however. have not been discrlml-
mated against in this way at all
Practically all dealers all over
the United States have TAR more
orders for closed cars than they
can possibly fill -, ,
