the guides and soldiers had failed to bring
food. Their only hope for supplies lay in
the arrival of q caravan from Sayed Rida,
and this was not due for several days.
They hyed on dates, matted milk tablets

passed, but its members were on short ra-

stuff of which congress has been woefully short, but which the country is desperately seeking in its politics. If it cant be found among the men, 1t would be best to fill up congress with women like Miss Robertson women who will resist the propaganda and threats of women as well as men.
 The measure she refuses to support in the circumstances is the so-calIed better baby bill, though it is not bill for better babies at all. It is a measure proposing to put the Federal Government in business that belongs to local government. It is based on allegations of great CT maternal ignorance and neglect among the poor than among the well-to-do, and on ale gations that are impeached rather than sub stantiated by facts But even were the allega- tons warranted the meddling usurpation of state powers and the assumption of state duties is a tendency to be ruthlessly checked, for the Federal Government has never yet done this without making matters worse at an in crease of cost to the Federal Treasury. Such things must inevitably be done by the states, but when the Federal Government comes in with a bureau and an appropriation, the sta tcs lie down and Federal aid amounts to little more than financing the bureau.-Springfield Union.

THE PLEDGE

A staff coI correspondent of the New York "Times,' Democratic, writes to that paper from Washington that members of the Ways and Means Committee "want to keep the Re publican platform pledge to reduce taxes. 7" Now why cant the "Times" be honest? Here is the exact language of the Republican plat form pledge the subject of reduction of taxes:
 "In presenting d true statement of the situation, we must face the fact that while the character of the taxes can and should be changed, an early reduction of the amount of revenue to be raised is not to be expected"
 The Republican platform emphasized the fact that the Republican administration would inherit an enormous indebtedness from the Wilson administration, and that this with in tcrest, must be paid, in addition to maintain ing the various agencies of the government Economy was promised, and ultimate rrduc tion of taxes was inferred, but it was spcci- ficaIly stated that immediate reduction could not be expected. This is the first session of congress since the Republicans came into pow CT, and reduction now would be ''immcdiate ' reduction.
 It would be interesting to know whether the 'Timcs' is msrepresenting through ignorance or maIiciousncss.

IMPAIRs AMERICAN PREsTAGE

Ambassadors from the United States to for eigm countries are not immune from the hous- inc shortage Ambassador Herrick, to Paris, and Ambassador Child, to Rome, are facing problem that does not trouble foreign repre- sentativcs of other countries. The United States has never seen fit to purchase a place of residence for members of its ambassadorlal staff as other countries have done, and as result these recently appointed officials are out house hunting.
 American history shows a great tendency to neglect certain aspects of international in tercourse that have been developed extensively bv European countries. Offhand, 1t seems matter of little consequence whether diplo- mat lives in a house owned by his government, or whether he has a landlord and pays rent every month. But there is in reality a great deal of difference which has existed to the diplomatic dctirment of this country.
 The modern system of diplomatic represen- tation was defined at the congress of Vienna in 1874. The relations of ministers, envoys and ambassadors were established at that time Since then, European countries have injected spirit of professionalism into their diplomatic service The average American re- prcsentative, usually man of excellent abil- ity and sense of justice, is at a great disadvan- ' owns its embassies at the different foreign cap itaIs The news that recently appointed Am crican ambassadors have landed at their des tinations without street addresses indicates the policy of the United States.
 The envoy has certain diplomatic mviola Utility and mmunties that render his domi- cilc immune from forcibIc entry or invasion. In way, his place of residence is looked upon as American soil and is respected as such Such being the case, it is highly important that the United States should take pride in the establishment of its embassies and put them in the same class with those of other powers. e-.' ..-~~..., -..
 International relations are controlled by customs and practices, may of which appear superficial to Americans. At European cap itaIs, where there is considerable pomp and display, the character of the country is judged only too frequently by the character of its dip lomatic representation.
 If the United States k to play the game of diplomacy with Europe it must go prepared to do SO. It should not try to compete with European ostcntation, but it should mmiIiatc neither itself its nationals nor its diplomatic representatives aboard.

Not without word of generous praise and encouragement should the action of Miss Alice Robertson, the only woman representative in congress, be allowed to pass In defiance of Il lobby apparently organized and operating on the too effective threat that those who do not yield to it will be deprived of their political skins, she has put her foot squarely on meas ure that is vicious in principle and would be worse than ineffective in the objects it pre- fesses to seek.

Strawberries still retain

strawberries still retain khe
same price. The slight rain the
last few days has extended the
season and prevented. the market
from becoming glutted as was ex-
pected the end of last week. The
price, however, should go down
when weather conditions change,
for canneries have contracted Ior
about all they will handle, and
this should force the grower to
offer his produce to the retailer.
The general price per crate is
S1.10 to $3.50.
Wholesale houses have receiv-
ed large shipments of bananas
and are having some difficulty in
disposing of them because of the
demand for local fruit. Street
peddlers of this tropical fruit
were offering them for 80 cents

by the pound.
Nice peas could be obtained
this morning for two pounds for
quarter. Cantaloupe, small, but
in good condition were priced at
10 cents each. Pineapples were
absent from the stands in a great
