FOOD PRICES.

It is reas0nable to expect that the beginning . the reduction in the cost of living can be expected through the food prices. In the opinion of the New York Sun and Herald the time has come when i've may expect a lighter tax on the dinner table,
 There have been certain indications recently which have given strength to the belief that such is going to result. There has been a slight letting up in some instances, but the Sun and Her aid considers that Now as we face the planting and growing season, with harvesting to come only a few months later. the national larder is fu11." and the effect of that condition is not to be overlooked.
 We haven't got to the point where we have got so much wheat and corn that we can let up in the production to any considerable degree but the amount carried over will be several times what we carried over last year and the corn reserve are equally large. We have millions of barrels of flour which we can spare without feeling it in order to help the dis tItostQ tOu4LENS Ol europe ana We will also be able to take care of the export demands to say nothing of tn, domestic cal. But with the amount carried over and the amount that vii be produced under average condition. there is reason to expect that the -,mC is coming at no distant date wher the grain prices can drop and as tn, result those other prices, such as thu meat products, are bound to be in Guenced. With a movement of thi k.nd started. substantial relief can b, anticipated. It will extend in man, directions.
 It is certainly time that the declin' In prices was started. If the peak ha been reached, and there are condi tions which point to it strongly, tn getting back to normal may not com ike a landslide but every movemen !n the downward direction will bt heartily welcomed. And when tn break comes in food prices it is goin to be followed by others.

THE TREATY ACTION.

The treaty of peace, as the result of the action of the senate, in refus- ing to ratify it, stands today just where it d;d following the previous unfavorable actioN except that it has been voted to return it to the pres ident.
 Many long months of debate have gone for naught so far as disposing of the peace treaty is concerned. We are still under the armistice terms and for the second time the senate has refused to approve the document either as it was brought from Paris or with the reservations. There is now, as there has been in the adop- tion of the reservations, majority of the senate favorable to approval with reservations, but not the needed two thirds, the irreconcilables and the presidents firm adherents being sui ficient in number to prevent ratifica- tion even though they are diametri- ca1ly opposed to each other.
 The senate if it adheres to its present stand has made it unneces- sary for President Wilson to pocke the treaty. By it's action it has re- fused to approve both what he de sired and what others attempted tC make acceptable. The attitude takel by the president to such changes, anC the changes were made for the pur- pose of taking care of the nations interests, was such that he directed a sufficient number of the democrat in the stand for no changes whateve and exerted an Influence which .un questionably played a most impoftan part in making the vote what is wa and preventing ratification unde terms which were acceptable to tn greater number.
 Thus we still continue ito break tn heart of Europe" The outcome wa predicted and unless reconsideratio ean be secured the treaty is dead an Inc league of nations will not gt whatever help # expects in this di rection. The policy of a whole los or none is responsible.

ORDERING COAL

Experience has shown us what it means to have idle seasons in the coal mining regions. Not only do we get the shortage of fuel but we also get the increase in price, and it is not the fancy prices but the other kind that people are seeking these days.
 During the war in order to move sufficient coal to take care of the needs and thereby overcome the pos sibility of an insufficient supply for the winter the householders were urged to get their orders in early It was excellent advice and it is sur prising that it has not become a habit instead of an unusual occur renee. In many lines of business a slack period when orders are not coming in is used to create a sur plus which can be stored away until demands are received. But it is not so with coal mining. When the coal is gotten out it must be moved and not piled up, and it isn't moved unless there are orders for it.
 While coal miners are idle they are losing just that much time and the loss of time in the mines means a corresponding reduction in output There are enough days lost through holidays and other reasons without loss of production through scarcity ot orders.
 It might be argued that dealers ought to know about what the re- quirements are going to be and pro- ceed to fill their bins accordingly That may be true and unquestionably Is done to much greater extent thar Is known, but it is nevertheless 2 reasonable request that early orders be placed with the understanding that the benefits of prices at time O delivery will be extended. That keep: the coal moving. permits the dealer. to do business at the most. advantage. ous time of the year and helps t avoid the rush periods, for with eel lars filled during good weather bet ter service can be given to those wh, cannot put in large supplies and mus get it frequently and in small quan ! tities

DEALING WITH TURKS.

However reluctant the; allies may have been in reaching their decision to occupy Constantinople, just what it ia going. to mean will depend to a great extent upon how the Turks con duct themselves. It is made clear by the allies that the authority of the sultan is not to be taken away and 1t is at the same time declared that the Turks are not to be driven out of Constantinople. The time has ar rived, however, when what is left of Turkey. has got to toe the mark. With the idea of strengthening the Turkish government, and putting down the disturbing and menacing elements the allies will. act. The massacres since the armistice have demonstrated the necessity of calling all the Turkish factions to account.
 The taking over of Constantinople the allies will reserve the right to rid Europe of the Turks if. the Turks by their conduct in the future warrant it There have been many threats made to those people and seemingly in 1 most instances they have amounted to nothing. If the allies expect the Turks to respect their demands they must live up to their threatened pen nlties. Even now. following the oc. i cupation of ConstantinopIee and pro i poses to establish a new government at Adrianople. It is apparently an other instance where the allied pro
 gramme is not taken seriously ant
 where the Turks feel that they car do as they please. To tolerate sucl 1 conditions will simply make the situa
 tion in that part of the world fal worse than it Is.

What Is Botherins the PeopIs9

MT. Editor: Just a few short lines in answer to Rev. MT. Tholen.
 Contrary to his thinking the people of this country are not at all disturb ed or dissatisfied With being deprived of drink. That isn't the issue. It isn { the question Of beer, wine, gin or whiskey being sold unrestricted at all
 !. The question that is bothering the people, and which ultimately must be referred to them. is the. unjust, cor rupt,. crooked, brow beating tactics, employed by the prohibitionists. There is no doubt in my mind. but what a great majority Of the people are dis satisfied with this prohibition amend ment. -.4.s-

A CHANGE TO SAVE ROAD.

By the action in withdrawing the petition for authority to abandon the Norwich & Westerly road it is to be hoped that 1t will mean the passing of the crisis, but whether it does or not, it provides an opportunity for yhose who are interested in the main tenance of this transportation line to see what can be done towards re- taining it.
 The awakening to the fact that this part of the state faced the loss of a service which should not be dispensed with has been slow. but it is to be hoped that some way can be provided either under the present or some oth- CT management, whereby those whe use the road now, those who have de- pended upon it and who have made investments under the belief that il was fixture and those who cannot fail to regard it as a business helr can be assured it's continuance.
 That the road has been constant money loser there can be no question That service has been. received iron it for which those who got 1t failed tt pay for what they got is likewise evi dent. Due to the generosity of { man who has done much in this di rection for the people of this part o Connecticut the. Norwich & Westerl, line was operated as 1t was for s, long d period.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Why Not Let Each Have His Own
 Ideas7


 Mir. Editor: It seems to me that this department is of late mostly occu- pied with different religious opinions, as has been the way of mortals to dispute on these subjects from time inmemorial, each one being sure that his or her own belief is the r.ght one and the only one that will eventually land them in their heavenly home. All these beliefs are but different road$leading to the same place. some choose one and some another, and there is some good and some truth in all of them, even i'll the much abused Spiritualism. So, why not let each one have their own ideas on these matters? Why should we all be sure that our views are exactly r.ght when the same texts of Scripture have been interpreted to mean many different things? Most of us believe in what the creed says: T believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy Catholic church" etc., and beyond that minor matters are non essential. I am forcibly remind ed of a discussion which I heard long years ago between a min -ster and a good deacon who wasted a whole Sunday school session and lost their tempers, or mislaid them for the time in disputing whether. Absalom was hung by his head or his hair. And as that, tragedy occurred ages ago ii didn't make any material difference only for each to. convince the other that he was wrong, which neither oi them succeeded in doing. I have nc i doubt that if by the grace of God we reach better land we shall find l many there whom as we think of ii l now we wouldn't expect to see.

Observer and a Listener, on Emmet
 "a VaIedictory.

MT. Editor: If it were not for the feeling that the courtesy of your col- umns has been already extended sui f1ciently to me, nothing would give me more pleasure than to follow up the meanderings of Observer, and, so far from my being 'peeved' by anything he has written, l assure you that I am perfectly delighted.
 In correspondence conducted over a nom de- plume (this is .French) the personal element is supposed to he suppressed, yet my opponent ire quently draws comparisons between himself and me-always to my dis advantage. If the topic be prayer- he praxs more than I do. If to ab- | breviate my sentences I use a Latin phrase of common use; he could teach me Latin.
 All this kind of bragging Is absent l from my letters and I trust that your | readers note, also, that while he says my quotation was inapropos, he did not trouble us with his translation. l Furthermore. the crux of my conten- | tion Is not wbat he, says, but has re- 1 lation t othe hanging of Robert Elm l met which the orator. said was done | by the English and would have taken | place with Washington had he not been successful This statement was 1 pre1udicial, and only a guess so faf as Washington's fate was concerned l But, in relation to Enmet, neither the l Orator nor Observer gave us any
 thing beyond what could be obtained
 from the Encyclopedia Britannica.
 The facts are. that Emmet was tried
 In his own country, by his peers. anS
 where his crime was, committed. Tn,
 charges were if1surfection. and fnur.
 ders committed in connection with 1t
 These are capital offences in all civ. ilized nations. and we have had ex.

It is far from an auspic ious time to handle such a problem but it is equally apparent that now is the time 1t must be done if it is going to be kept out of the hands of the junkman. and the interests along the way, from the start to the finish, should be able to meet the situation. There is more than one community that should be alive to protect the fu- ture business and accommodation to be obtained from the road Therefore the most should be made of the with drawal, which it is understood is not permanent but temporary.

Prohibition Causes Foreign Born to

 Mir. Editor: Will you allow me space in your paper to make a few comments on the above.
 If the foreigners find it so neees- sary to become partly intoxicated in order to work-in our land Cat least this is only an idea of Congressman Seigel's) is not our country better off for their taking? In most cases are not the undes .rable foreigners the ones who are the worst criminals? If there were more Emma Goldmans and Alex Berkmans shipped out of oul country would it not be better than to furnish our beloved America for g dumping ground? When. we read words like these coming from an eni- nent divine with his full name sign ed to it in one of the papers, as I di6 year or two ago.
