Prices of Tomatoes.

The profuse abundance of the rlpening
tomato crop unfortunately IS cutting the
price at which the Gamers are buying, so
that there is no profit left, and the growers
are threatening to plow their crops un-
der. In some sections the factories are
offering only 20 cents basket. while
the top bid seems to be so cents, and few
offers.
There seems to be something radically
faulty in the system of marketing the
tomatoes whez in this city they sell for
from 10 to Is cents quart, two or three
cents apiece-while in the larger cnes
thew bring as much as IS to D cents a
box on the stands of vegetable dealers.
Possibly the question of shipment has
been fully considered by the growers OF
the Peninsula. and they may have found
the freights too high to send them TO
nearby city, Philadelphia OF New York,
for example, and the problem OF getting
the products to market where they are
needed lis still a long way from being
solved.
With the splendid waterways that
touch almost every point Of the PENN
sula, it seems that shipment by steam
boat might reduce the freight costs, so
that the farmer would have fair return
and the consumers obtain their edibles at
fair price.

Harding Repudiates the League.

Senator Harding on Saturday, in ac-
cord with previous promise, madc
public address in which he set forth his
attitude towards the League of Nations,
and in this respect it may be said his de-
liverance is clear and uncquivocal. The
people can now have no doubt where he
stands in respect of this important and
paramount is sue Of the campaign.
Senator Harding is fatty against the
League of Nations Covenant, with or
without reservations. He willhave none OF
it. So the people may feel assured that II
elected President of the United States he
would do all in his power to keep our
country out of this great Worldwide
organization for world peace. which lacks
only our cordial cooperation to make II
tremendous agency for good to the entire
world Senator Harding would 80 act as to
aid in continuing the present world unrest,
the present devastating wars, the present
opportunities for aggressiors against small
OF weak nations. He would thus pursue
policy of practical reputation of all that
was fought for in the terrible war against
the military autocracy of Germany. and
all that was secured by the awful sacrifice
Of life that attended the righteous victory.
In lieu of the League Of Nations,
Senator Harding would substitute an
International Court of Arbitration. based
on The Hague Tribunal, plan that was
rejected by a Republican Senate when
| proposed BY President Taft. Such body
already is in course Of preparation, with
| Elihu Root as one Of the chief construct
ors. 1t is easy TO understand, therefore,
where Senator Harding imbibed the M
spiration that led to his deliverance. The
| International Court Of Arbitration would
be valuable adjunct to the League OF
| Nations, with the latter fully organize
under the powerful leadership of the
United States Of America, but without the
support of the League, or buttressed only
by League so invalided by the refusal
of our country TO enter into membership as
to be almost helpless in carrying cut It's
| high purposes, the court would be oi
| little real effect.
However, the people now know where
Harding stands in respect of the League OF
Nations. He aligns himself with johnson,
| Borah, LaFollette and other irreconeii-
able opponents of world peace through
international cooperation. No doubt they
will now rush to his support. But what
will ex-President Taft and other warm
advocates of the League OF Nations do
The League will remain vital, living is-
sue of the campaign, and none OF Senator
Hardings subterfuges will serve to set 1T
aside

PRODUCTION AND PREDICTION.

In view of the resumption OF produce
ton of bituminous coal, 1T Is predicted
hv officials OF the Department of Justice
that the country viii experience de-
cided drop in retail coal prices: IN the
near future. This prospect will arouse
hope in the public mind because OF the
success of the government IN beating
down the price of sugar.
Agents of the department are now
busily engaged, under the direction OF
Acknowledgement Palmer, IN securing
evidence upon which TO bring action
against profiteers who are responsible
for the exorbitant coal prices that have
ruled during the past few months.
Bunker coal which cost IS 40 ton at
the mine has sold as high as SIS and
$40 a ton at Baltimore and Newport
News. Admiral Benson, chairman OF the
shipping board, estimates that, allowing
for the freight and expense OF handling,
fair price for this coal would nave
been SO a ton Complaints OF unreason-
able prices have come from various
points. but the most serious cases have
developed at Atlantic ports, and the De-
partment of Justice is just now devoting
its attention especially to them.
Already an improvement Is reported.
Prices are noticeably lower and bid fair
to continue on their downward course.
1t is reported that the profiteers Though
system of reselling have brought ulti,
mate prices up to where they were and
thus have tried to cover up their tracks:
This is accomplished by the original
b,,ver selling to middleman, who in
turn sells to another dealer, who sells to
the consumer, and thus three profits are
extracted, all going into common fund.
This, of course, is deliberate scheme to
escape the Lever act, and it is the inten-
ton of the governments agents to stop it.
The prediction of cheaper coal Is shared
by the Federal reserve board in its latest
report on business conditions. II reviews
the improvement in the railroad sltua-
ton, which is resulting in a better distri-
button, and directs attention to the gem
eral resumption of production at the mines,
all giving hope of lower prices and bet
ter supply. Washington Post.

ANTHRACITE FREIGHT RATES.

There were many obvious difficulties In
the formulation OF a method Of allowing
the railroads increased revenue by means
of increased freight rates, and the inter
state Commerce Commission adopted the
course of least resistance when 1t decided
to permit horizontal advance on per.
centage basis Perhaps no method could
have been devised which would not have
worked Injustice and hardship in some
cases. a striking instance being afforded
by the announcement that the retail
prices of coal sre 10 bN advanced I'M
mediatelv to the full extent of the 40 per
cent freight increase allowed by the COM
mission. This is surely one of these cases
which ought to be brought to the attention
of the commission and an exception taken
for the protection of the public from what
is in effect a gross extortion:
The freight rates on anthracite we're
already excessive when compared with
the character of the service and with the
charges for other similar commodities.
Under the old rates, oil the anthracite
carving roads have attained extraordl-
nary prosperity, and 1T Is worse thah
absurd, il is an outrage, that the rate M
crease should be permitted TO operate SO
as to take new toll from the pockets OF
the already overhurdened consumers. ne
railroads do not need this particular IN
crease. They already take an excessive,
toll from the traffic, and while coal should
doubtless bear its proportion OF the added
wage demands, the increase allowed and
demanded is far in excess Of what can be
considered Just proportion. 1ne old
commodity rate on anthracite at least
should be restored and the railroads com
pelled TO be content with the old rate
which has been so extremely profitable 70

RIPPLING RHYMES.
By Walt Mason.
RED YEARS.

1t is a strange and savage time;
there is q carnival of crime, that
never stops or rests. the slayer to
his victim wends, and voters kill
their lady friends and ship them
off in chests. Assassinatlons fill the
land; we find dead gents on every
hand, they clutter up the news, and
peelers and detectives toll, and
vainly burn the midnight oil to
thrash out stacks Of clews. Here
where Pacific pillows roar three
murdered guys were washed ashore
within two weeks or one, and inland
other chaps were slain, and no one
offered to explain just why the
deeds were done. These beastly
crimes we all abhor are but the out
come of the war, the years of deadly
strife. where men who fought for
flag or king soon felt that natures
cheapest thing IS stun called human
life. For years we talked OF doom
and death and every time we drew
a breath it seemed to taste OF gore;
we read of dead men pied in ricks,
and all the boats upon the Styx
were freighting cofpses o'er. The
peoples all have learned to slay, and
now, if some ones IN their way,
they see that some one dies; oh,
may we see the times again when

The holding in bail of a woman who had
run an automobile in manner that re-
suited in accident, on charge of operat-
