Furnishing .Profteers.

Federal authorities are getting very
busy in New York state In the drive
on profteering. In ,Syracuse cloth
ing company of Utica was mulcted in
a fine of $55,O00, on eleven counts at
the maximum rate of $4,000 each. The
defendant, being corporation, could
not be given prison sentence, which
the Judge regretted his inability to i'm
pose. In New York city produce com
pany pleaded guilty of profiteering IN
potatoes and was fined $1,000. The
charge was that this firm had pur-
chased potatoes at $4.25 hundred
pounds and sold them at from $3.50
to $40. In addition seven firms were
indicted at Syracuse for profiteering
in clothing and food. Other indict
ments are pending in the state. The
fact that no defense has been offered
in some of these cases and that pun
ishments have followed quickly on the
grand jury action is refreshing re-
assurance to the public that the laws
notorious delays will not prevail alto
gether to protect those who are tax
ing an unrighteous toll of the peoples
necessities.

New York Looking Up.

| New York is getting into the picture
She wants to play a part of interest
and importance at both Chicago and
San Francisco.
Nicholas Murray Buffers candidacy
for the Chicago nomination had not
stirred national interest He is an
excellent and accomplished man, but
only slightly known in the world of
politics. So there is talk now of
Charles Z. Hughes; and there is ex-
pectation that it will attract wide at
tention. And probably it will. Mr..
Hughes made a brilliant campaign in
1916, and lost by so slender a margin
and under such peculiar circumstances
his friends have never been satisfied
that he received altogether fair and
square deal. Hence the inquiry: II
choice among the active aspirants for
the Chicago prize becomes impossible,
why not Hughes again? He would IN
no proper sense be dark horse.
Tammany has been out in the cold,
and it does not like that sort of tenn
perature. So it is casting about for
company and combination. As yet
it has made no pronouncement as to
candidate. Its own Gov. Smith is
reckoned as hardly Of presidential size.
Overtures of some of the friends of
former Secretary McAdoo were turned
down. 1t is rather afraid to declare
for Gov. Edwards of New Jersey a
next door neighbor, and wet after its
own heart.
But Tammany is busy, and hopes to
show up at San Francisco in good trim
and spirits, and with strength that will
be negotiable in what promises to be
the uncertainty of that convention. 1t
will have for its negotiator Leader
Murphy himself, and for it's principal
spokesman Bourke Cochran.
Tammany is not always an asset, as
was demonstrated at Baltimore eight
years ago. And Mr.. Bryan, who on
that occasion emphasized that fact,
will be at San Francisco.

Gated. inquiry, however, conducted by
the national organization of Gamers,
including the majority of those en-
gagged in .this industry, has disproved
all but a very small percentage of
these accusations. Probably the can
ming industry was never so thoroughly
guarded as lt is today, and the public
is better assured of protection than
ever before. This is due to the adop-
ton of sanitary methods, the clean
ing up the factories and the adoption
Of safe containers. In view of the
great quantities of preserved foods

ance to the people. 1t is a relief to
note that there is no ground for doubt
of the wholesomeness of preserved
spinach, which is a largely used food.

A Veteran and His Services.

Elihu Root sailed for England yes
terday ON an important mission. 1t
is a good thing to chronicle the re-
turn of this accomplished man to the
public service. His experience has
been large. When young man he
was an efficient United States district
attorney. Later, and after attaining
the leadership of the American bar,
he became Secretary Of War. Later
still. he became Secretary of State.
He then served a full term as senator
from New York. In all those places
he played very prominent part, and
was more than once suggested for the
presidency-an Office to which he
would have brought the fullest equip
ment.
1t has been five years since Mr.. Root
retired to private life, and they have
been momentous years in the coun-
try's history. Often during the time
the wish was expressed that some
place might be found where so much
ability and such thorough training
could be employed in the public be-
half.
Mr. Root has left home on the eve
of the assembling of his party's ma
tional convention. Asked to express
himself as to what should be done
there, he declined, on the score that
his departure imposed silence on him.
Doubtless, however, his party friends
are advised of his views, and are not
Indifferent to them
1t is a reasonable supposition also
that in case his party wins in Novem-
Der Mr.. Root will reappear in our ma
tional affairs in some post commen-
surate with his capacity for useful
ness. The order will be one of the
largest and most difficult the repub-
licans have ever undertaken to fill, and
they will need in their business the
best talent they can command on ac-
tive list and on the retired list.

Suffrage Again Delayed.

Refusal by Delaware's lower house
to ratify the federal suffrage amend
ment closes definitely the door of hope
that the Diamond state had opened
earlier when the state senate acted
favorably. The vote was emphatically
negatiye-o4 t. lJ. To the last heavy
pressure was excr.cd TO bring about a
different result. Now, inasmuch as
the Delaware legislature is republican,
the more militant branch OF the suf-
fragists has declared war upon that
party, citing the Taet thai the repub-
Hcan governors Of Vermont and Con-
necticut have refused to call thei,

The states rights sentiment is so strong
in the Pelican state that adoption of
a ratifying resolution is regarded as
impossible. But resolution was

amendment t. the state constitution
providing equrl suffrage within the
state. This, however, is not equivalent
to ratification of the nineteenth

pecially in view of the threat now
made to hold the republicans respon-

Preserved Spinach Freed of Doubt.

Recently death was reported to the
health Office in this city in circum
stances which gave rise to the belief
which was officially announced, that
preserved spinach was the cause of
fatal poisoning. The Star, comment
ing upon this matter, expressed the
belief that a thorough investigation
would be made to ascertain definitely
the cause Of death, and furthermore
that preservers of food would con.
tinue to exercise the utmost care in
the handling of materials to make
their products as wholesome as pos.
si5le. 1t now appears that the death
in this case was caused not by any
form of foods that had been eaten
but by cerebro-spinal meningitis, and
thus preserved spinach is freed of all
suspicion.
Many cases Of death occur with such

Pass the District Bill!

Disagreement in conference on the
District appropriation bill continues
despite all efforts at adjustment. There
is a menaeing prospect that the Dill
will fail of passage and that the Dis
trict will be maintained on the old
basis Of appropriation by a contlnu
ing resolution, which, unless there is
an extra session in the summer, will
carry on the old scale of provision fol-
at least six months of the next fiscal
year.
This is a lamentable situation fol-
which there is no justification. Con
tinuation of the old appropriation
would be a calamity, for it would in
fiet serious injury upon the District
The current appropriation is far from
adequate, particularly in respect to
schools. The entire municipal organi-
zation would suffer from being bound
upon the 1920 basis.
The District bill as it stands in con-
ference carries riders put upon it by
both houses. The house rider abolish
es the half and half law and puts the
District on a sliding scale of federal
District contribution for maintenance,
and also replaces the tax rate by two
thirds. The Senate rider substitutes
the Mapes bill provision that the House
made part of the appropriation act
measure, the Jones amendment which
restores the fifty fifty principle of the
organic act and establishes a flexible
tax rate.
Under the legislative rule, when a
rider ON an appropriation bill is op-
posed in conference the proposing
house must yield. If this rule is ap-
piled, in the interest of getting fiscal
legislation for the District, both houses
will yield on the points in controversy,
leaving a straight-out appropriation
bill which proposes no changes what
ever in the existing law of District
financial maintenance.
The logic of this course of mutual
yielding is strengthened by the fact
that the very issues involved in these
riders are involved in legislative bill
now in conference between the houses.
This is strictly legislative matter,
not appropriative. No great harm can
be done by waiting ON the settlement
of these issues by regular means The
nations interests, so far as they are
involve, will assuredly not suffer by
postponement to another session of
the settlement of this controverted
point of the extent to which the
United States is to participate in Ma
tional Capital maintenance and devel-
opment and the means adopted for
local fund provision. Indeed, if the
now pending appropriation bill should
fail and the District continues under
the old appropriation act, the half and :
half system continues also without
change, though inadequate provision is
made for capital maintenance.
