"PRETTY SMOOTH"

For some time now the high cost of
fresh fish has confronted consumers at
this end Of the island and instead of
matters improving they are steadily
growing worse, what is practically
speaking a staple article Of diet among
all classes. having scared beyond the
reach of the poorer people and become
a luxury even TO those better able to
pay the price. This condition of the
fish market has been brought about by
sheer profiteering, and is seriously
engaging the attention of a large major
ity of the people who realize that starva-
ton, pure and SIMPLE, faces them if tie
cost of fresh fish is not controlled and
limitations placed upon the ungoverned
scope of which alarming Advantage is
being t. ken. When it is understood tn t
fish, for the reasonable price of which
this own was particularly reputed. has
increased in cost within the last year,
by nearly 10000 in some instances. it
cannot be doubted that there is due cause
for grave apprehension, and this ques-
ton is brought to the notice Of the Food
Commission which has hitherto not in
Guided fresh fish among the articles Of

foodstuffs for which prices are fixed
and published. Several consumers haV-
ing their attention attracted by the
gross injustice done the public who
must pay up to twenty cents for two
tiny ''giZard doctors" thai were form
erly given away for feeding cats, have
requested to point out toe urgent neceS-
sity for action by the Food Commission
and to earnestly appeal to that body to
convene and give the question earliest
consideration and adj ustment, TIE con
tention that the prices of fresh fish have
not been fixed by the St. thomas Food
Commission is no proper argument why
the matter should be GiSregarded here
if occasion calls for action. As a mat er
of fact it would be unnecessary 20 have
any Food Commission ct all If dealers
sold their goods at fair prices, and the
sale of any staple item OF FOOdstuffs
which imposes an undue hal dship on
the community should automatically be

mission. This seems the right opportu-
nifty of suggesting that fish be sold by
weight like other commodities cf food.

Fxpenditures Were Moderate.

The suffragi.ts report they have spent
almost $50 900 in order TO open the bal
lot-box for women voters and some critic
declares they show themselves TO be wise
in the use of money for campaigning
This criticism is unfair. On the contrary,
they have proven themselves "mere
pikers" in the use Of money as an accel-
orator
Whv. the money spent in Delaware at
almost any election IN the last thirty
wears would total more than the women
all put together have spread over the en-
tire country. And the ''boodle" spilled IN
Michigan for the election of a United
States Senator in three months would
have staked the saffragists for a ten
years campaign.
With this modest expense account,
which might readily have been consumed
in supplying speakers and maintaining
headquarters our prospective new voters
may be acquitted of the charge OF using
"sIush funds" Let us trust the suiira-
pista may maintain this record and en-
phatically insist Chairman Warner must
reform the morals Of the Republican party

Harvest Outlook.

The Department of Agriculture offers
the nation the cheerful forecast OF corn
crop of more than three billion bushels.
II ia q comfort TO find the word billion re
lated to something besides debts III the
prophecy is fulfilled this year will be
about on level with the two record
seasons of 1912 and 1917. Reports from
both Middle West and Northwest indicate
good crops in other agricultural products
Indeed, the Kansas observers declare
that larger percentage OF grain is ac-
tuallv now in the bin than for some years
past at this season. The weather has been
favorable and neither cost nor scarcity OF
labor has been so great as TO hold back the
progress of harvesting.

UNTOLD MISERIES."

Young Mr.. Will Hays went up TO Maine
the other day and exhorted the Repuoli-
cans of that State to help save the country
from the wicked wisconsin that has
brought untold miseries upon people
who have every right to be prosperous
and contented.
These untold miseries" are evidently
confidential on the part OF young MI
Havs. but it is easy to enumerate them.
They do not apply to the working popu-
lation of the country, of course, Tor wages
were never before so high, the demand for
labor was never before so great and there
was never before so little unemployment
They do not apply to the farmers, who
never before received such prices for
their crops and were never before so pros
porous. They do not apply TO the average
business man, who has been making
profits that be never dreamed OF In former
days. :,
As awhole the American people are the
richest. the best fed, the best housed, the
best clothed and the best provided for
of all the peoples in the world. But the
Republicans. whom Mr.. Hays represents
have suffered dreadfully during the last
seven wears. Thousands of them have
been compelled to earn their own living,
without assistance from the public pay
roll. Nobody can overestimate the
anguish Of Republican office-seeker
under a Democratic Administration, and
that is what Mr.. Hays meant when he
talked about untold miseries New

TEETH IN PARTY PLEDGES.

A project, credited to an unnamed
'member of the Presidents cabinet,
has been launched in Washington to bring
about what we fear is without the field OF
the practical; namely TO make party plat
forms and candidates pledges mean what
they say. This is to be brought about not
through another amendment to the Federal
Constitution thank heaven, but by the
acceptance by each separate State OF biil
which has been drafted for them, makinEit
felony for any person elected to Legs
lature or 10 Congress to vote IN violation
of the pledges of the platform upon which
he, or She was elected. There Is saving
clause in the proposed bill to meet the case
of candidates who publicly refuse to be
bound by platform declarations.
Aside from the extreme improbability OF
the adoption of such measure by any
considerable number OF the Legislatures,
its purpose is laudable. But does IT not
place an Importance upon party platforms
out of all proportion TO the estimation IN
which thev are commonly held by the
people? These documents have long since
ceased TO be taken seriously by the ma
iority of persons, They are recognized Tor
what they are, mainly vote-getters,
framed expressly to minimize opposition
and 10 make capital Of every issue likely
to prove popular. In many cases the
platforms of opposing parties would be
almost indistinguishable were they not
duly labeled with the name OF the party
fathering them.
The proposed bill belongs in that class OF
proposed remedies for political Ills that
depend upon evasion and indirection N N
stead of direct action by the voters III
candidates cannot be trusted, the respon-
sibility for their election rests in the last
analysis upon those who vote for them.
Furthermore, the bill is drawn from the
standpoint of those who look upon leg
islative representative not as a free agent
chosen because OF his probity and intelli-
rence. but ms a mere instructed proxy
without opinions of his own and de-
| pendent for his every action upon the
| instructions of the majority which elected
him. The real penalty which ought 70 De
