Let In the Flood of Brick.

If SAMUEL UNTERMyER can flood
the New York building market with
imported brick at Sill a thousand
when constructors here are compelled
to pay $50 and $50 thousand, the
sooner he gets his brick here the
better. If it is collusion or combina-
tion that can make New York build
ers pay 100 per cent. more than they
should pay 1t needs to be smashed
in just that way. II it isn't collusion
but is force of circumstances the
situation should be relieved just the
same
And what is 50 as to brick and
New York is SO as to brick and the
whole country. IT is so as to any
and all building materials. 1t is so
as to all commodities essential to the
country's business and the public's
living.
Whenever there Is collusion among
domestic producers to pil e
tic consumers the gates o. lie
should be thrown wide open to
supplies from any source that can
relieve the consumers and rout the
gouging and plundering profiteers.
Whenever there is natural short
age OF domestic commodities that
are essential to the public the gates
g..Ao Id De thrown wide open to let in
the needed supplies from anywhere
and everywhere as the only way to
break the shortage.
The Chief Executive OF the nation
or some commission acting for him
should have the power to protect.the
American public by suspending,
whenever occasion demands, any
tariff schedule or other regulation
that permits greed and collusion to
prey upon the now helpless con-
sumers.
The Chief Executive or some ad-
ministrative authority representing
him and vigilant for the we'll being
of the public should have this power
IL it takes the act of the American
people and an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States to
create that power.
The collusive profiteer must be
smashed if the whole American pub
lie has to take hand in the job.

History Overlooked.
Artillerymen Camped on the Site Of
a Battle Without Knowing 1t.

TO THE NEW YORK HERALD: 1t would
seem as If the average American sees
Europe through his stomach, II letters
we'd by country cousins who stay
home are true. Who of us has not
thought this when the letter arrived and
We had hoped to hear Of the wonderful
mountains and sunsets of Switzerland
or some other country and we found
the letter filled with descriptions Of diff
ferent eating places and the food that
was served?
Many Americans are more familiar
with the honey and cheese served in
Switzerland than the places that are
serving them.
Chancellor Day has said that many
Of the young men of to-day are no
bigger than the cigarette which they
smoke. Is this statement true? 1t Is

But these solaiers should worry.
Didn't the different churches and organ

An idea of the profit which may be
secured from strawberries is afforded
by correspondent of the Rural Neao
Yorker, who tells of taking 750 boxes
at single picking from half an acre
OF ground. With the fruit selling
for good prices this yield ought to
give handsome profit after paying
for labor.
Small fruits should receive the at
tention of everybody with a garden
plot, large or small. Currants,
Strawberries and raspberries are a
delight in their seasons. Their cul-
tivation requires little time. OF the
three the strawberry is the most pro-
life and should be general favorite
because of that fact.
