p1sREeARp1Na SAFETY.

Whether or not there were unwarrant- ed chances taken at the time of the Ti- tanic disaster, 1t is a fact that it fur nished sufficient reasons for the estab- hshment of an International patrol os the north Atlantic for the purpose of fur nishing information to the navigators regarding the location of icebergs and an agreement among steamship lines to ad- here to a southern route until it was reasonably certain that there could be a change made without danger.
 Tn crossing the. Atlantic 1t makes a difference whethersthe northern or south ern route is taken as to the expense of operation. The latter Is bit longer. but where the question of safety is involved there ought to be no question as to which route should be taken.
 When, however, the coast guard cutter Modoc of the International patrol pa- trol maintained by this country but the expense of which is shared by other na- tions, reports with the ice conditions still menacing that During the past week traffic appears less cautious, many vessels. some passenger types, disregard ing routes" 1t doesn't indicate that the proper regard is being shown for the safety of the human cargo.
 From this report 1t would apear that the commanders of vessels are using their own judgment regardless of the ad- vice that Is being furnished by the scouts in the ice fields. It is true that there have been no collisions with big bergs, or so far as known no near ones, but that doesn't furnish any excuse for talk Ing chances where the lives of the many passengers are dependent upon the char Acter of the judgment displayed by the captain of the ship.
 Thus far the patrol has not recSnl- nended any deviation from the southern route because the ice doesn't warrant it It would appear that if the patrol is worth maintaining and the safety provis- ions which if furnishes is worth having navigators are taking unwarranted chances with ships and cargo as well as passengers when they fail to heed the warnings.

THE SUBSIDY IDEA.

Ship subsidy is something which this country has not taken Kindly to. When ever such an idea was advanced it was, however, under conditions which are different than those today. The idea of a ship subsidy in order to obtain rner- chant marine is a bit different than q ship subsidy in order to continue a rner- chant marine which is already possessed. { We have a raft of vessels. Some of them are in operation and some are not. We have sold some and the government would like to dispose of the rest It doesn't favor the idea of scrapping them, it doesn't like the thought of selling them to other nations and yet it is de- sired that we should have merchant marine capable of meeting all the re- quirements of the. country under all con ditions. That Is something the country has llowled for long and loud.
 At the present time the government is in the shipping business and it desires to get out. It is anxious to end com petition with private capital, but private capital Is scary about buying the ships and keeping them under the American flag because it is impossible to operate them at a profit in competition witf ships of other countries which are not obliged to meet the restrictions ol American laws and which are being sub. sidized by their governments.
 At the present time our merchant ma rine, which it is desired to maintain, iy being operated at g loss, and a Ioss which in all probability will exceed whatever would be paid out under a sub. sidy.
 It is possible for us to continue to op crate the ships and stand the loss with out resorting to a subsidy, if that were a good business proposition, but to dC that the government would have to re main in the shipping business and i would still be placing obstacles in thl way of private capital entering the chan nels where it ought to be. A ship sub sidy Is thus being advocated because O conditions which exist and because 1 would adequately deal with the situation

DIR SERVICE IN HAITI.

Happy indeed would this government be if it could recall its marines from Hayti, leave the direction of the affairs of that Island republic to the Haytians and have confidence that everything would go well there and there would be no chance of being obliged to go back. If there could be any such assurance there would have been no objection 10 the amendment which 1t was desired to attach to the navy appropriation bill re- 1uiring the recalling of the marines from Hayti, Dominican republic or Ni- caragua by the end of this year.
 How unjustifed was this amendment In the opinion of the members of the senate Is indicated by the fact that it was Killed by vote of nearly five to one We are not in Hayti and the other republics because we want to be, but because of conditions which prevail there, for the preservation of peace and the protection of those governments for the good of their citizens.
 An investigation has been made of the conditions in Hayti by senate con- mlttee with the result that the investt. gators. democrats and republicans rec. ommend an indefinite continuance of the occupation, because it has been of great beneht to the Haytians, who so regard 1t and because a withdrawal or a dras' Ss reduction in the occupation would

FIXING THE PRICES.

It is difficult for the consumer to ur- derstand why 1t is that dealers, more particularly in the large centers, are permitted to send to the dump fresh veg stables by the carload.
 It is understood of course that such methods are resorted to for the purpose of keeping up or boosting prices on oth- er carloads, but the injustice of it IS giaring. Prices vary according to the supply and demand. When there IS 3 big production, as there seems to be of melons this year. it can be appreciated that the number can become so great that everyone can see his way to indulg- Ing in their purchase. But it means the handling of a tremendous amount of goods at lower profit than would be obtained if the supply was less and the prices higher. Thus when the conditions are net to the liking of those in a po- sition to control the next thing to do is to make them came as near to it as pos- sible. regardless of the methods em- pIoyed.
 The deputy commissioner of markets in New York has been calling attention to the fact that 13 cars of melons have recently been taken to the New Jersey meadows and dumped because the mar ket was etutted and such action would have the desired effect upon the price Pecause tkey would have bsen eager bought by the housewives O: New York mad the pIice been in keeping with the supply c!dn't warrant the effort to sel them for what could he g9-:en. l'y throwing them away the price ol other. could be kept up, even tho Igh the high CT price deprived many of the pleasure of those dumped melons.
 It is to be realized of course that tht vegetable dealers are in business for tht purpose of making money, and ip NeV York they cater to many who live frUn hand to mouth. What their experience may have been with such oversupplis is something that doesn't appear, but certainly doesn't leave a good impres sion when destruction of crops, regard less of the kind, is resorted to in orde to command higher prices.

CLEANED FROM FOREIGN

Last year, owing to the representa- tions of he waer board, a grea deal Of moral pressure was bfough to bear up on ratepayers to refrain from a normal Use of water. Many of them were dis posed to complain with some justifea- ton that though waste Of water, like all waste, ought to be prevented, a certain consumption of this commodity Is in- portant in the Interest Of public health. If the supply of a city such as London Is not adequate in a year when rain Is scarce the storage resources certainly ought to be Increased. or what use to encourage the building of garden suburbs if, after every dry fortnight. we are to be exherted not to water our geraniHns By all means let us avoid waste.

 While we are rendering a service to these republics we are indirectly aid ing ourselves by preventing the harm full revolutionary troubles among osar neighbors. as well as preventing them from becoming irretrievab!y Involved in financial difficulties with foreign nations.
 According to the committee report we have done much but the job has not been completed. Certainly there can be no thought of backing out before conditions have been stabilized to the point where we. are not likely to be forced to go back. When it is appreciated that the peace of the republic, the solvency of it's government and the security of its people have been established for the first time in many years" the mistake that would be made in retiring before there is some certainty that it will not be quickly discarded is evident.

WASTE FROM srR1kEs.

At the present time when there are so many strikes about the country with the threat Of more, there ought not to be overlooked the tremendous amount of waste that is involved in such stall ing of industry From Wilkesbarre there comes the statement that In the coal fields there has already been experienced loss just under S1o0, ,00O 0o0 by the miners and the operators because of the situation in that region, and that is of course only typical of the situation wherever a strike is being maintained When production is curtailed or stopped it means a loss for all involved, and such losses are not easily made up.
 It is not always possible to judge one strike by another, but when 1t is real ized that there were 20.O62 strikes in the six-year period ending with 1921, or an average of 3,34S strikes year, 1t can be appreciated what a loss has been ex- pertenced because of such action regard less of what the outcome may have been.
 Likewise 1t Is impossible that more or less thought should not t4 given to the tact that with the aim of both sides te rcasl fair adjustment an agreement based upon facts an enormous waste might easily be prevented.
 To a large extent, it seems falr to pre-. sume, it would have been possible tc have avoided strikes and the stoppage oi production. Just how many of the strikes resulted in arbitration or how nany labor differences were adjusted by a resort to that method is net known but it has been the means of reaching 2 settlement in a large number and cAr talnly there is every reason for feeline that it is far preferable to the resort tt violence or unjustifed pressure upoI public requirements. It doesn't appeas, the strike labor leaders but it is cer tainly sound and sensible.

Strawberry ice ac- companied the cakes and the first guest who partook of the combination instantly began to froth at the mouth in a most alarming manner. Other guests were soon in the same hydrophobie condition. to the great distress and bewilderment of the hostess, who rushed wildly to the kitchen in search of an explanation.
 In abject humility she returned to confess that in her hurry she had nicely rolled the cakes in soda instead of pow dered sugar.
