HA! WHO is HE?

Prophets and prophetesses arc still not
without honor, even in this cynical and
materialistic age. We love to have some
body peer into the future for us; we like to
hobnob through the ouija board with the
unknown, to learn from cunning inter
prefers what fortune and misfoItunes
nature has written in the palms OF our
hands We doubt everything, but are
often ready in our secret hearts to give
credence To the impossible
Thus the prediction Of the Hunga ran

Yesterday, because editorialnews instinct

many might scott at, all would read. The

primitive superstition At the thought of
a dominating fate IN the affairs Of men.
Yet when wc come down to descriptive
details we find Mime. Syhilinc ) predic-
ton a little puzzling. Her man Of destiny
is blonde, slightly bald, wears glasses, IS
surrounded by fine children, is an aspirant
to the Presidency and within the last
two wears an attempt has been made to
assassinate him. The blondness, the
badness, the use Of glasses might be made
to apply To most oi the candidates, as
might also the identification mark Of fine

blonde, slightly bald. wears glasses, Is

CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

There are difficulties in the way Of re-
stricting the campaign funds Of candidates
for President because the method bywhIch
& President is elected Is not the method
prescribed by the Constitution, which
knows nothing of candidates and commit
tees and primaries and delegates and
conventions. II is not the President who
is elected at~the polls but the presidential
electors, and this complicates the process
OF dealing with corruption in Presidential
campaigns.
The country needs a sweeping Corrupt
Practices act. II has needed il for forty
years The questions raised by the Sen
ate investigation Of campaign expendi-
lures Will never be met until Congress
devises means OF enacting legislation that
will limit the amount Of money that can
be contributed and spent and also specif-
ically restricts the uses to which this
money can be put
1t is only by accident that the American
people know anything about the cam
paign funds of the Presidential candidates
Ii Senator BOrah and Senator Johnson
had not been eager to eliminate General
Leonard Wood, the Senate would have
done nothing about the World $ exposure
OF the Wood campaign fund, and even
data ut hand conveys little information a.
to the manner in which all this money
was employed and the extent Of the polit-
ical advan tages gained from it.
All the yirtuous protests of Senators and
Representatives against the use Of money
IN politics will avail little IN the way of
restricting abuses until the nited States
has a real Corrupt Practices law. which
they alone can enact.--New j ork World.

How About That Milk Ordinance?

Several months ago City Council gave
continued and apparently sincere atten-
ton to the very important matter OF
insuring the safe condition of the milk
that is supplied daily to our people, Milk
Inspector Hollett rendered valuable ser
vice by faithful performance OF his
duties under the limited authority al
lowed him by existing local law, and fear
Iesslv exposed conditions that then pre-
vailed. By reports to City Council he
showed the state Of the milk furnished by
each dealer, and some Of his reports we're
startling as to milk that was dirty and
milk that fell below stated requirements
in respect of purity and strength. BY the
publicity thus given he brought about q
material reform, and spurred Council
to such a practical consideration Of the
subject that an ordinance covering the
situation and setting forth the necessary
requirements, was presented read twice
and referred That was most suspicious
beginning.
But that was several months ago, and
since then nothing has been done. The
excellent ordinance safely reposes in the
archives Of the law and health commit
tees. and by this time must DC every dusty
For it has not been disturbed since It was
So referred, last winter.
Why this inactivity? Why has the City
Council become lukewarm in respect OF
the inauguration Of a very important re-
form9 The summer season is now at hand,
and the necessity for insuring the purity
and quality Of the milk that is supplied
to our citizens and upon which thousands
al children will have to depend for sus-
tcnance during the heated term. IS more
impressive than ever But the ordinance
slunbers in a pigeon hole and City Coun-
Gil paws no attention whatever to the sub
iect which was deemed 50 important
few months ago, and IS more important
now than ever.
Wake up, City Councilmen. Resurrect
this slumbering ordinance. Cali for re-
port from the committees and press the
measure TO passage. Think Of the babies
who will suffer, and many Of whom may
die, if they are fed upon milk that does
not measure up to the standard OF safety
In all respects.
The City Council has completed the
very important task Of providing for the
fiscal affairs of the city for the ensuing
year, and may now give attention to
other matters. And the most important
Of these is the establishment Of regula-
tions for insuring the purity Of our milk
supply. Why not call out the ordinance
at tonight's meeting and pass it? The
situation at this time Is too critical to
justify further delay. Already il has been
neglected too long.

Porterhouse Appetites.

One of the reasons for the continued
high prices of meats is given by the presi-
dent of the United Master Butchers of
America as "the class of workingmen with
porterhouse appetites and porterhouse
pocketbooks." In discussion of the pric e
of meats in relation to the high cost OF
living, he says: THE choice cuts arc none
too good for the workingman, and as he
has the money from high wages to pay Tor
the best. he demands it-and gets It,.
Not until wagesl become stabilized will
meat prices become stabilized; and the
same economic law applies to other com
modities. The laboring man now demands
chops for his family, where formerly
he was satisfied with n good lamb stew.
Two pounds of these chops for family OF
four. at So cents pound, come to Sl.l0.
This same family could buy and have the
same nourishment from two pounds OF
lamb stew at Is cents pound, and adding
vegetables costing II cents, the stew would
cost but Al cents, as against the Sl.lo
for the chops But the workingman does
not look out for saving the 60 cents. lie
prefers to put it into the chops
This master butcher, who appears to
be familiar with the meat market and
conditions governing it, gives figures TO
show that the packers are not making
any money at present prices OF beet cattle
and he believes the packers are losing
money because of the decline III prices oil
by-products of the packing plants. lie also
gives figures to prove that at the prices
the retail butchers arc forced to pay,
and because of the lcssened demand for
the cheaper cuts of meat, which often
have to be sacrificed or entirely lost.
they cannot make any material reduction
in prices and do business at proht
There is some food for thought in what
the president Of the master butchers says
There is no doubt. that, along with
tho increased cost Of living during the
wears since the advance began as result
of the war, the average American working
man has raised his scale Of living. In the
big increase in the number Of dollars re-
ceived in wages, he apparently has lost
sight Of the economic fact that the pur-
chasing power Of the dollar has been cut
down to half or less than half. a dollar
has been dollar to him, and the fact
that his pay envelope at the end Of the
week had fifty instead Of twenty-five,
as it used to be. seemed to Justify buying
more and better for the table, as well as
better qualities q clothing and other
things
The process Of rcadiustmcnt is going 70
be q long and painful one, and viii m
wolves lowering Of the extravagant scale
Of living, and sacrifices Of many kinds,
not only by the workingman, but by
people in all the walks Of life. The work
ingman may still live well, even indulge
a porterhouse appetite occasionally, but
there is more reason than ever why nc
should practice reasonable and ludicious
economy save money.

Talking But Doing Nothing.

Congress proposes to adjourn next

Of special session largely devoted to empty
talk. Faced with public matters 81. great

excessive taxes and the elimination OF
severe measures neccssitated by the ex-
cencv of the World War, its partisan Re

the conrenial task Of bitterly assaillng
President Wilson and cndeavorlng to de-
prive his administration OF the slightest
credit for its notable achievements In the
onduct Of the war-even TO the extent OF
minimizing them and thereby depriving
the country of It's share of the glory that
attended the downfall Of that great
menace to human ity and progress, the
German autocracy. Meanwhile the re-
ftrictions OF war legislation are maintained
and the people are harried by unnecessary
taxation in various aggravating forms.
During the discussion OF the ridiculous
,'peace resolution In the House of Rep
resentatives, last week. Representative
Connallv, Democrat, Of Texas, scored the
Republican majority for ITS insincerity
in protesting regard for public interests

One Controversy Settled.

The Supreme Court of the United
States this week handed down decision
which effectually and for all time settles
an important question-the sufhciency
of ratification Of an amendment TO the
Federal Constitution by State Legisla-
ture. This was brought into question
during the tendency of both the Eighteenth
and the Nineteenth Amendments-Pro
hibition and Equal Suffrage because
these amendments had been ratified by
Legislatures in States where such rati6ca-
ton, according to the Constitutions of
those States, should have been submitted
to the people.
The decision Of the Supreme Court is
plain and clearly defined. 1t was to the
effect that the Federal Constitution de-
fines the method of ratification ofallamend-
ments to that instrument-by the Legs
latures of three-fourths of the States
No State, says the decision, can alter or
impair the procedure thus laid down.
The decision is Of interest because it
sustains the ratification Of the Equal SUI
frage Amendment by Legislatures in
some States where the question of rati-
fieation by popular vote was advanced in
opposition. These legislative notifications
are sustained. and as theygo to make up
the thirty-fve States that already have.
ratified, favorable action by only one more
State Legislature is needed to make the
amendment effective as a part OF our
national fundamental law.

PRESS COMMENTS.
WEAK AND TIMID.

The Indiana resolution on the subject
of the league is plank dear to the heart
of Mr.. Facing Both-Ways. 1t puts the
party in opposition TO the Treaty. as
presented to the Senate by the President
and it commends the Republican Senators
for opposing that Treaty. 1t does not
commend the majority of Republicans
in the Senate for voting for the League
with the Lodge reservat ions and it does
not commend the Bitter Enders. !"
1t leaves undecided the issue between
them. 1t accords them both freedom to
act in the same way in which they acted
before; it does not restrict the nominee
in the course he may take IL is a weak
and timid contamination made possible
by Tire fact that the opponents of an adj
ministration do not need to be agreed on
their basis of opposition, and may post
pone the settlement of differences between
them until they must assume the RESPONSE
bility for action.
Such an attitude should embarrass Mr..
Lodge in his opening speech To the con-
vention because Of his course for months
he has approved-to such an extent that
the reservations bear his name-~the policy
of entering the League with those reserva-
tons 1t will embarrass the nominee of
the convention because he Will constantly
during the campaign be presented with
the query whether he favors the League
with reservations or opposes it altogether.
1t is q shifting of the responsibility of the
party representatives in the convention
to other shoulders, with the hope that with
a platform facing both ways the party
may retain the support not only of its
sincere and loyal members who approve
the action Of Mr.. Lodge and his associates,
but may secure the support OF the Sim
Feiners, the pro-Germans and Others
who support the Bitter Enders. TX
