whether pie is at its best when fresh

The point is that pie needs defend

Is Pie Harmful?

Close on the heels of the effort
made by weary Massachusetts
housewife to inspire a revolt among
her Eeleagucred sisters against
making pies-more especially apple
pies-for their men-folk, comes a
symposium, if one may call it such
in this connection, of doctors in one
of the medical reviews, wherein
~lcarn'd debate is made over the
general question of pies suitability
in the dietetic system. Does pie fit?
Is pie harmful? Or may we take
as much pie as we reasonably want.

Why has pie acquired such a bad
name? Is it because of the old Puri-
tan tradition that whatever people
like must necessarily be baneful?
What is pie? That bald and un-
convincing volume, the dictionary.
coldly describes it as IAN article of
food consisting of paste baked with
something in it, or under it," This
however, is doing pie a pallid in
justice. It is an engineering def l.
nition-when what the heart cries
out for is a glowing panegyric. A
pie is IAN article Of food"-and
mighty good one. It's ingredients are
chiefly -four and fruit-or vegetables,

Some years ago. it appears, British
manufacturers OF confectionery dis
covered that the candy they made for
sale In Honduras melted and run to-
gether and they devised a way Of
making the container air tight, when
the difficulty was overcome. Lately
the American manufacturers have
been sending their candies to Hon

trouble to learn about the alright
containers so their candy has been
getting a bad name in competition
With the British variety. What about

REMINDERS OF STEINER DAYS

Whatever one may conclude re-
specting the degree of change in the
psychology Of this part Of the world
it must readily be admitted a radi-
cal change in viewpoint has occurred
since 1876, for instance, when a
witch was tried at Scituate.
On Saturday this trial was re-
enacted at Scituate and made a
gala occasion-the old time witch
was not convicted SO the gaiety of
the celebration was not inappropri-
ate. Those who came to celebrate
followed the trial by feasting on
beans and pork, rye and Indian bread
and pies and cheese as the old timers
may have done when they held this
the last of the witch trials in PIym-
outh colony. No mention is made
Of the drinkables but we assume
those were not similar.
A writer in the Sunday Herald,
Boston, has an account Of marching
five pirates in chains through Bos-
toms streets on their way to he
publicly hung. That was in 1926. If
even a small part of the accounts
are correct pirates are yet operating
off the coast Of New England and
their booty is being hauled through
the streets to be distributed among
the thirsty. No one, however, sug-
gests marching them in chains and
giving the country the benefit OF
public hanging, though there may
be some thirsty-bloodth
who would today argue that it would
be public benefaction to hang a
few. Such proponents, we think,
would be found decidedly in the mi
nority. Most enlightened people,
while deploring sloppy sympathy for
the criminally inclined, are of the
opinion that swift apprehension,
prompt trial and certainty of punish
ment will prove a better deterrent.
The difficulty is, having the prompt
arrest and conviction, to make GER
tain in the face Of influences for
pardon that the criminal gets full
measures OF that which he deserves.
Indeed, the strongest argument for
capital punishment is that people
may not be trusted to see that the
criminal receives his desert and the
public he properly protected unless
the offender be killed.
Another reminder that mans in
humanity to man persisted long years
after the hanging of witches is the
old British convict ship Success"
now moored in Boston and on which
one may see the devices used to
punish the prisoners England de-
ported to Australia. On a similar
ship John Boyle OReilley was de-
ported from England. This old ship
was built 1872 years ago for the Iudia
trade but later was used for trans
porting prisoners, not all of whom
would be regarded today as criminals,
and some of whom doubtless had
descendants who aided England in
the last war. The ship is fitted out
as she was when engaged in that
business, with the instruments OF
torture and cells. Possibly some of
the Americans who view these will
recall the treatment which Amer
lean soldiers were subjected to in
the British prison hulks during our
Revolution.
Be this as it may all, we feel sure,
will agree that we handle offenders
and Objectionable people better now
adays. We may at times be too lax
in our treatment of them but at least

we do not brrtalize the public by
resorting to inhuman methods.
WAGES, STEEL AND RAILROAD

The public does not need to be told
that when the United States Govern
ment applied for an injunction to
restrain strikers and their friends
from interfering with the railroads,
conditions were intolerable. Leaders
of the strike would have the country
believe this injunction to be an effort
to crush labor.
1t may be Of interest to consider
that decision of the United States
Railroad Board against which the
shop men struck In rehearings on
this representatives of the employees
had much to say respecting the recent
increase of 20 per cent granted by
the United States Steel Corporation.
Replying to this the representative
of the eastern railroads said:
THE hourly rate of pay by the
Steel Corporation in 1915 was 20
cents. This rose to sos cents in
February, 1920. The hourly rate
including the present increase Ey the
steel corporation, Will be SO cents an
hour which shows that the present
rates of this corporation will be 80
per cent over 1916.
an the Eastern territory the aver
age hourly rate on the railroads in
1915 was 1875 cents an hour, and the
average hourly rate of the mainte-
nance of way employees under the
decision effective July 1st, last, is 37.1
cents compared to the Steel Corpora
tons rate Of So cents, so that the
average hourly rates of the railroads
in the eastern territory is 1885 per
cent greater than 1915 as compared
with 80 per cent for the Steel Cor
poration."
Mr.. Walber pointed out that the
Steel Corporations prices have in
creased II per cent since February
LIST this year, while freight rates on
the railroads were decreased 10 per
cent by the recent ruling of the In
terstate. Commerce Commission.
