TIE PREP0NDERATING POTATO.
Said to Have BocOne Almost Too STAPLE
an Article of Diet

an Article of Diet.
When Will the work of reconstruction
which is exercising its benefcent influ-
ence in So many directions today reach
the table? Certain noted dishes of the
American cuisine were undeniably al
tered by the conditions prevailing dur
ing the war. The high cost of everything
except potatoes changed them for the
worse.
OF course potatoes cost less than
meat at all times, but the difference in
price was propOrtionately greater dur
ing the war. This must be the historical
explanation of the preponderance of the
tuber in a distinctly national dish like
corned beef hash. 1t is a staple article
Of diet on every bill of fare. Imagine a
lunch bill without it : Yet its character
iStic features have become weakened
since the war. Potato predominates in
its composition to a degree that would
never have been tolerated in the past.
The vegetable used to modify the flavor
of the meat. Now the meat seems to be-
added as a relish to the potato. What
self-respecting lover of the national dish
would have tolerated in the old days
such a distorted recipe?
1t Is not only in the native hash that
the change is noted. Irish stew and all
its associated hashes have been just as
completely Subjugated to the potato.
Consider clam chowder which may
be prepared in so many authentic ways
that there must already be literature
on the subject. 1t shows the same signs
of deterioration Certainly in none of
the numerous ways of making this cher
ished soup of native origin is it recon-
mended that potatoes shall be the pre-
dominating ingredient, yet in nine cases
out of 10 today they are. What fish
chowder does not substitute now for the
firm white flesh of the cod or the hall
but the cheaper sliced potatoes?
Al -, oh oI Of
breakfast escaped the influence of this
change in American native dishes. Here
the potatoe provides a much larger part
than it ever did before of what was sup
posed to be fish with potato, not potato
favored with shreds of the salt fish.
Every man with proper theories az to
preserving the integrity of our Ameri-
can food win be glad when the noble
work of reconstruction gets around to
these dishes.-New York Times.

 No one but those who live here, and were accustomed to meet him from day to day, can appreciate the real size of the empty space that is left since he mov- ed to Jewett City. I was here when he came and have had plenty of opportunity to watch the steady improvements Whicn have been a regular occurrence, as q result of the management of an enthH- siastie and efficient farmer

IN THE RIGHT POSITION.

When President Harding declares that the railroad labor board is the only agency through which the government can and will act in the railroad strike situation. it is just what was to be ex- pscted in view of the previous statement made 10 the effect that the railroad la Dor board would have the full support Of the government.
 It was for the purpose of preventing inst such a state of affairs as exists to- day that the railway labor board was named. It was the hope that the differ ences between the railroads and their men could be adjusted through this board. when it was found impossible for adjustments to be made between them- selves. SO that there would be no in- -erference with transportation through out the country and no loss of wages. Tti was a sensible arrangement for deal ing with tho facts as they existed and to secure justice for all concerned, in c.udinr the ever suffering public.
 InasInuch as the dispute was referred 10 the boa-d and the board after hear ing the parties at interest has decided what justice calls for there is no other course which the government can take .han to stand firmly behind 1t. Being an agent Of the government it should have the support that is --ronised. Un- Co1tunately at the time the legislation creating the board was being enacted thers were changes made in 1t which left the board with less power than had bsen provided and without the power which it should have to carry out its decizions. There is thus the duty of the Foverumaut to stand back of 1t and see ftat it is not trampled over by the ef- Totts of those who are determined that t-her than lawful provisions should pre- vail For the government to do other han stand solidly back of the board would be Co repudiate it's own child. 1t must present a firm front and do Its ut- most to carry out its agents efforts to adjust industrial warfare. The aim is to give the government agency such a black eye that it will be useless hence forth. and should the governmeHI fail to stand back of it that object would be quickly accomplished.

PENALIzING SHORT WEIGHT

Engaged in little profteering work the drivers of ice carts in Maiden, Mass, have been given the alternative by the judge before whom they were brought of furnishing ice free to those who had been given short measure for the re- mainder of the season or paying a fine of $50.
 This is action that cannot fail to in- terest those who have suffered from short weight in any form whether it happened to be ice or any other of the many household necessities that are dis pensed by weight or measure. There Is nothing more aggravating than to be swindled through short weight. Those who resort to it are engaged in gross misrepresentation and are determined to collect sums in excess of what they are entitled.
 In this instance it would appear that the acts of the drivers were deliberate although it is to be realized that in dis pensing ice it may not be possible to cut it 10 an exact ounce without great wastage. Nevertheless that doesn't t warrant collecting for any more than the amount delivered whether it hap pens to be a bit overweight today and a bit under tomorrow.
 From the action of the judge in this case it would apear that there was something more than a technical viola ton and that the short weight was one way of gouging the customers which was working to the advantage of the employe but to the detriment of both the customer and the ice company, whose patronage would quickly melt away under such methods of doing bus mess.
 In all probability the customers who are to be served free for the rest of the summer will appreciate the state inspec- tion service which protected them against those who were charging them fifth more than they were receiving.

sHIRKINe RESPONSIBILITY.

Protection of the public against frauds. robbers and nurderers seems to le in the opinion Of some in the driv- inr those guilty slf such offenses from a certain comu1u dity to prey upon others, but instead of applying the deserved punishment that is simply dodging that responsibility. telling those who are a rubEc menace that they must operate o1ss where and leaving it to others to bear the effect of such operations as those individuals may continue to en- E1ce themselves in
 This Is brought 10 attention by the pction of a New York magistrate in sem tsncinr two found guilty of picking pockets Co five years in prison and glv- Ing notice that # they are found in the state following the serving of that sem tence they will be subject to a repeti- ton of the sentence. That is in a slightly different form than some such sentences and implies that whether they decide to reform or continue their past practices they must do 1t amongst others. but it Is in keeping with that questionable action which is too often re- Eofted to Of escorting persons accused of rrime out Of town that they may con huue their work elsewhere
 The idea seems to be to get them of of- the hands Of the authorities who ar: acquainted with their operations ant know them, and after telling then there's the rest Of the world Co operate on. go to ir" to sit hack and figure how rlsverly they have been disposed of.
 There are doubtless cases where it g Ielt that rovers ought to be kept nov ng. and when they have done nothing Tor which they should be punished ther, is not much to be said against such policy. but the endeavor to shift tn responsibility of dealing adequatel, with those who commit offenses whicl cary a state prison sentence in such way Isn't dealing properly with thos -utside of the circle from which the,
 fe banished. It is too much like tn idea that those wild youths who canno Dc properly governed at home and kep out of trouble ought to be placed in tb- navy and have that serve as a resorn Echool; 1t is an injustice upon others.

THE rHKEE.M1LE LIMIT.

If 1t is so that Great Britain holds to the point that the three-mile limit can not be broken relative to the distance from land in which a vessel Of another country can be seized, 1t may cause some disappointment in this country but it can hardly cause any surprise.
 The matter arises from the enforce ment of prohibition. Large quantities of liquor are being smuggled into thIs country and they are coming from Brit ish territory. Vessels are leaving Brit ish ports for the very purpose of selling the cargo on the high sea and delivering it to those who will smuggie il into this country. These vessels make the deal and shift the cargo beyond he three mile limit of this country or at a point where they are not subject to molesta- ton by the revenue vessels of this or any other country. While there Is noth- ing objectionable to the traffic they are engagd In from the viewpoint and law Of their country, or coluny, they are aiding and abetting others to violate the laws of this country, even though they have a right to sell and distribute liquor, and this country would appre- ciate 1t if the three-mile limit was waived and such vessels might be seiz- ed when found.
 That the British government should be disposed to leave the final decision with the colonies themselves is quite Tn keeping with expectations, but that, n view of the profitable business that is bting carried on by the rum runners, can safely be anticipated. The idea of having them stand in the way of busi- ness activities for the purpose of help ing this country enforce i.s laws is not likely to make very strong appeal unless it should be a case where there would be a corresponding contribution on the part of this country, and that doesn't appear to be the case. If all were under prohibition the situation would not be so one-sided
