The Argonaut Mine Tragedy.

The drama Of the Argonaut gold
mine is ended. 1t was the tragedy
that all feared it must be. but prayed,
to the last moment OF the rescue
workers desperate struggle, that it
might not be.
For three weeks the eyes of whole
continent were on the brave effort to
penetrate to the tomb, nearly a mile
below the surface of the earth, where
it was hoped the forty-seven miners
imprisoned since August 2S might
still be found alive. Rival mines
loaned all their facilities to the Ar
gonaut. Mining companies in sew
eral States, and even in Mexico, Of
fered any possible assistance. Miners
fiocked to Jackson to ask il they
could help. The Argonaut owners
offered prize of $1,000 to the first
gang that should break into the tun-
mel where the victims were trapped.
The home miners did the job with
all the speed of which flesh is capable.
They drove through the cruel wall of
rock with the endurance of Titans and
the determination of comrades. That
hope which has kept the world alive
since mans first coming burned in
their breasts and made them disre-
gard the natural fear that their fell
lows had perished from gas, drown
ing or starvation. They did job
which no prize-not all the gold of
the Argonaut-could repay.
The close Of the story was the dis
covery that the battle to save the
prisoners was fruitless. The only
comfort comes from the knowledge
that they died quickly and without
pain. The country turns away with
regret for their fate and admiration
for the men who toiled so hard to
reach them: turns away with tear
for the white faced women who
watched and waited in vain.

Potatoes Go Begging.

After bread potatoes come very near
being the food commodity in first
demand and use throughout the coun-
try. And this week the finest grade
of potatoes has been selling in the
wholesale markets of New York at 81
to Sr25 a hundred and fifty pounds.
This is the lowest price known In
New York for good potatoes in a
generation.
But the potato consumer has not
been getting the benefit of the cheap
est price for potatoes in twenty
years and more. The shipper offered
his wares at the rock bottom prices
because train loads OF potatoes were
pouring into this market with nobody
ready to take them all.
If the wholesaler took more than
his current supply sufficient to meet
the normal demand he could not re-
sell the surplus stock. Apparently he
could not or would not carry the sur
plus stock for later sale. And the
ultimate consumer could not buy be-
yond his immediate needs, even at
the very low rates, because the
one thing that no longer exists in
this great city, with its millions of
population, is the old fashioned cellar,
where potatoes and apples and tur-
nips and beets, when they were plen-
tiful and cheap, used to be put away
in quantity for use through the fol-
lowing winter months when they
would be growing scarce and dear
in the markets.
How many millions OF dollars does
the lack Of the old fashioned cellar,
the ample storeroom and provision
pantry of our grandfathers. cost the
consumers of New York and other
congested cities where nobody wants
to pay rent for more than the rooms
in which he and his family actually
live?

The Tariff Out of Politics.

THE New York HERALD does not
favor free and promiscuous amend
ment of the national Constitution.
That instrument. in fact, has been
overloaded with changes, and the ten
dency to tinker with the fundamental
law for this, that and the other rea-
son becomes more marked with the
years. But the proposal of Represen-
tative ASsoRGE to set up by consti-
tutional amendment a permanent
tariff court, whatever else is to be
said for or against IL, has the merit of
starting something definite and con-
crete in the direction Of getting the
tariff out OF politics.
The tariff Is an economic question.
IL never ought to be treated by the
Republican party or by the Demo-
cratic party as anything but an eco
nomic question. And the tariff can
not go on being used as a political
football, now by this party and now
by that party. without causing indus
trial disturbance and national evil.
The difference between the Ansorge
proposal and a tariff commission IS
that any commission is itself liable to
become merely political agent or
servant OF the party or the party
leaders responsible for putting and
keeping its members in Office. A
commission can do useful work in
gathering and preparing tariff data
and economic facts for the informa-
tion and guidance OF the tariff makers.
And the truth is that no Congress as
whole ever has been closely famil-
Jar with the industrial conditions on
which 1t has undertaken to legislate.
The present Congress has been a
shocking spectacle Of tariff makers
who dehed economic principles and
ignored industrial facts.
The tarin commission is better

were likewise the enemies Of the Church.
Withdrawals from tho Church became
numerous. In Berlin on certain days
the streets near tho appointed Office
buildings were filled with people who
came to declare their withdrawal. En-
tire blocks of people withdrew. The
movement was closely observed. A cam
paign throughout all state churches to
induce Withdrawals in 10000 had netted
about $4,000. another in 1894 $4,000.
But In 1919 alone about 100000 with

Handbook for 1919.
Tho number of Withdrawals may now
have reached half a million, according

at this feature OF the Church situation.
1t was not a brand new factor. "A quiet

PRINCETON PRESIDENT
LAUDS FRELINGHUYSEN
DR.. Hibben Says Senator Puts
Duty Before Politics.

DR.. John Greer Hibbcn. president OF
Princeton University, issued a statement
yesterday concerning his opinion OF
Senator Joseph S. Frellnghuysen. candi-
date for Republican nomination for
United States Senator from New Jersey.
Tho statement follows in part:
II am very glad to state my opinion
concerning the claims OF Senator
Frelinghuysen. During the most trying
period Of our history he has proved in
his official capacity his unquestioned
integrity and devotion to tho highest
welfare of our country.
II have heard that some OF the RE-
publican leaders in the State have
rather complained that Senator Freling-
huysen has not given as much OF his
time and attention to his own candidacy
In New Jersey as they would have
wished.
THE fact that Senator Frclinghuysen
Is more concerned with his duties in
Washington than with his own political
future is the strongest recommendation
OF tho character OF the man TO tho
people OF New Jersey.

nature OF things the tariff commits

could not have its own way in respect
OF actual tariff making against the
wishes Of Congress or against the
selfish interests of Congress leaders.
On the other hand. such a court as
Representative ANsoRGE aims TO have
established under the protection and
workings of the fundamental law
could handle the tariff as an eco
nomic matter pure and simple. Men
appointed to that bench virtually for
life could be as independent OF poll
ties as are the judges Of the Su-
preme Court of the United States.
With a retirement age limit fixed
at, say, seventy, so as to give rea-
sonable assurance against an ul-
innate membership OF weakened
physical and mental powers, the tar
iff judges in the years of their serv-
ice could come to know pretty nearly
everything there was to know about
intelligent, scientific and successful
tariff making.
II such body OF men could not
and did not take the tariff out of
politics it is not easy to see how
the tariff can ever be taken out of
politics.
Whatever the virtues or defects of
the Ansorge measure, it has initiated
something of force and fiber that will
bring out discussion and from that
discussion will surely come improve
ment.
Let the country take the Ansorge
bill seriously; let the discussion go
on. 1t is worthy of the consideration
OF the best minds we have.

Two Human Instincts.
They Make 1t Possible for Bookmak-
ers and BootIeggers to Thrive.

To THE NEW York HERALD: In the
human animal there are at least two in
stincts which have been cultivated and
developed for thousands of years: the
instinct for gambling and the instinct for
alcoholic stimulants. Can these instincts
bo destroyed by summary human edicts?
Man Is creature OF imagination.
without imagination life would be fiat

mans imagination more than tales in
which the flowing bowl has played a
prominent part. The odyssey is a fair
example. All through this great epic

earthly feast is complete without wine ::

suppliant's prayer. What more alluring
picture than that of the spacious gar
den OF Alcinous with its ordered vines
and groaning presses.
