POOR PEG.

A gallery mob in London broke up the first night performance of J. Hartley Manners play, "A Night in Rome," in which Laurette Taylor, be- loved of American playgoers, was star ring. The gallery gods raised such racket that the curtain was rung down and the audience didn't have chance to ascertain if the play was worth while or not. This is pretty rough treatment for Peg O My Heart" Hailed in every city in the United States as the premier Amer. ican actress, Laurctte finds that Lon don will not even hear her. Were she a music hall artist, shimmy expert or something of the sort she might have been accorded different reception. It's possible that Laurette is a little too good for London.

 HIGH COSTS AND HIGH FREIGHTs

We have come into another cycle
 If an upward whirl in prices, says khe Commercial Apeal.
 u Things that ought to be produced |3n quantities are mounting skyward Increased prices to the consumer ' o not seem to increase production
 There is one of two reasons for this
 Either the producer has made up his znind to hold present profits, or he is
 hot getting the advantage of the ad
 aed price.
 Yesterday a man made complaint l0 a retailer because he was charged 10 cents for collar whic hwas form \ l'krly purchased for quarter. The fretailer said that if he cut the price The would not get any more. He stated uthat one merchant in another city |a!AAd cut the price on standard brand 'tof collars, and that when his supply |HNas exhausted he could get no more fWe do not vouch for the truth of the 1statemcnt, but similar statements xW0uld be worth Investigating. There Seems to be in some lines a Nppwer on the part of the producer to 1control prices. The sugar crop last kycar was tremendously large, but you fsee where sugar is now.
 There has been another upward
 trend in real estate locally. lit is manifested in the price of houses and in rental prices.
 Many things depend upon speedy land ready transportation. Coal can
 be mined only when there are cars. kThe other day we saw .a train of coal Fears filled with automobiles. This &train was on the Lake Shore road, ¬ far from Chicago.
 Y The railroads have not been secur- Hing any great supply of cars since
 the beginning of the war. During
 the last 1S months more cars have Ebeen destroyed and worn out than &hAve been made. There is more
 than a caroad of freight for every 5car in existence.
 The railroads have small credit to buy cars. The enormous increase in freight and passenger rates has been &ptincipally used in paying for labor |xsnd fuel.
 @ It would be good business for the X people to consent to further in-
 ereasc in freight rates with the un-
 derstanding that this money should ||he used solely for the purchase of
 freight cars and locomotives. One $third of the people who are riding
 Would be better off at home, and they
 will only stop riding and go to work
 when they are made to stand up. ::a@ The south is peculiarly unfortu-
 mate. We produce raw material, but most of it. is manufactured in the
 north. There are few cars available sNtO take our raw material to the
 north and few available to bring V #manufactured material back. We are in the midst of an acute
 Eondition which bears most heavily lon the real producers in this region.
