knew the train had passed under nine

A Sugar Boycott?

Countrywide interest, no doubt, will
be attracted to the movement in New
York by hundreds Of woEnen's clubs in
the direction Of a ''sugsr boycott by
reducing consumption; chat Is, simply
buying and using less, until prices,
declared to be entirely speculative,
are forced back to normal. It Is an.
nounced that bakers ahd candy makers
may join. The spectators are resist
ing the government Injunction against
their alleged practices, the sugar pro-
ducers are defiant: saying it is the
law Of supply ands demand which is
forcing the price Zip. and meanwhile
all last week wholesale prices were
soaring.
So the speculat9rs are to have the
housewives on the warpath. They
would do well to beware; it may be
easy enough to aaunt public opinion
and defy the gos'ernment, but facing
the women in aSconcerted effort may
prove to be another proposition. TAX
ing the argume:lt that the high price
Of sugar is due to the economic law
Of supply and demand. the answer OF
the women is Sproposed to be to cut
down the misunderstanding that ID

Food for Shrine Week.

The citizens committee on food sup
plies urges Washington housekeepers
to make provision for Shrine week.
There is nothing panicky in the advice
given by the committee, and there is
no prospect OF food shortage, but
certain precautions should be taken,
and it is not difficult to take them. The
committee suggests that the home
pantry be stocked with three weeks
supply OF staple nonperishable food,
and this is understood to mean flour,
meal, sugar coffee, tea, bacon, ham,
canned goods, butter and the like. 1t
is not suggested that there shall be
food boarding No famine is in pros
pect. The city will be crowded, and it
is likely to be crowded as it has never
been before. Streets will probably be
carrying more traffic day and night
than they have ever been called on to
bear at any hour. Stores will probably
be jammed with buyers, and store
keepers and their helpers will be ex-
ceedingly busy. Freight will not be
unloaded in the freight yards, but will
be discharged at more distant points
requiring longer haul between car
and store. The freight yards will be
taken up by parked cars chartered
for the trip to and from Washington.
Conditions may be such that some
storekeepers will be tempted to raise
prices, and they may give as reasons a
-
tanning supplies. Wisdom indicates
that housekeepers should lay in sup
ply Of staple foods before the rush
begins, and that the quantity bought
should be enough to last till the rush
subsidies and food transportation and
distribution can be brought back to
normal. Shop early.

Lincoln Memorial University.

For twenty-five years Il school has
been maintained in the mountains of
Tennessee for the benefit Of the youths
portunities for education are limited.
1t has been continued against adverse
circumstances, with inadequate en-
dowment. growing slowly, lacking in
many Of the requirements of the situ-
alton, sustained by it's supporters with
faith in the eventual awakening of the
people of the country to the value Of
such an institution. Now an appeal
has been made for the funds requisite
to give this school, which is known as
the Lincoln Memorial University, its
proper equipment to deal effectively:
with the problem OF educating the
young people OF a section sorely irF
need of scholastic advantages.
This university aims to teach the
children who arc born. as was Abra:
ham Lincoln, for whom 1t is named,
among the humble, common people
of America 1t is co-educational, nop-
sectarian, but distinctly Christian. In
another part Of The Star today IS
printed an article which describes tae
manner Of its organization and the
present scope OF its work. 1t is poin Ted
out that many Of the students who
apply for admission are adults, SOME
Of them are married, all Of them are
earnest in their search Of knowledge
and instruction. Some Of them lSave
made heavy sacrifices in order to at
tend classes. Many are working kheir
way" through the school.
These mountaineers arc not seekers
for charity. AS the article elsewhere
notes, they want a chance. 1t$is for
the people Of this country whS have
means to spare to give them that
chance. An increased endowment, a
students loan fund and additional
scholarships are greatly needed to
make this institution mean what it
should to the people OF the snountains
Of the south. Not long ago its accom-
plishments with inadequate means
were related to Washingt5nians at
meeting. A better school. resulting
from a larger fund, will snake for bet
ter citizenship. FROM the sources
from which come the Students at Lin
coin Memorial University have risen
some Of the most valuable Americans.
An opportunity is afforded in this
case for constructve giving that
should be grasped.

undertaking. II there is a concerted

Betterment Plans.

The campaign Of the American Civic
Association to secure cooperation Of
fifty or more cities for improving the
National Capital is under way. and
there comes Il report Of meeting at
baltimore at which certain projects
were discussed. Among these were the
plan for the creation of a national
Baltimore. the building Of a drive from
Rock Creek Park to the source of
Rock creek and the preservation Of
forest lands near creeks and rivers
between Washington and Baltimore.
At the meeting a committee was ap-
pointed to decide whether a state
council of the American Civic Associa-
ton should be formed Or an intcrcity
association for the creation Of park
from Washington to Baltimore. What
ever the decision may be the public
spirited people of Baltimore and the
rest of Maryland will be enlisted in
projects that will benefit both the
capital and the state.
The irtercity park is Il plan that
was given publicity about twenty
years ago. Surveys and estimates
were made and the argument for its
feasibility was strong. Long stretches
of so-called forest land would be in
cluded in the park, with wide areas of
any great use. or of any use, for
farming. The forest land is mostly
cut-Ovcr woodland and is now stump
and brush land. but maintained as
n park it would be restored to majcs-
tic woodland. The preservation Of
woodland at the source and along the
side Of creeks flowing into the Poto-
mac and PatuXCnt has long been advo-
Gated as a means for keeping the
creeks from disappearing and dimin.
creeks are of such benefit to the lands
they flow through and to adjacent
lands that their preservation is a
public question.
The creation Of an intercity park
would mean the building of an inter
city parkway. and a new boulevard
between the cities is already needed.
The present Washington Baltimore
boulevard and all the automobile
roads in the District and leading from
the District through Maryland are
crowded on those days when most per-
sons take their recreation, and more
roads are necessary.
If the committee appointed at the
Baltimore meeting should decide to
form a state council Of the American
Civic Association there is no doubt
that it would Immediately interest the
people Of Baltimore, not only in the
tntercity park. but also in projects for
betterment within the District of CO.
lumbia and which are projects OF con-
Germ to all Americans.

Prohibition and Poison.

There are two angles to the question
stated by chemists, is largely dis
pensed in this city. One Is that pro-
hibition puts premium upon the
conscienceless enterprise OF makers
and vendors Of such dangerous bever-
aSes. and that. therefore, it is men,
ace to the public health and should be
abandoned. The other is that the
danger Of getting poisoned. perhaps
fatally. is so great that abstinence
from drink is the only safe and SEN
sible course. Certainly there is no
argument for promiscuous law-break-
ing in the traffic in poison.
If it is true, as the chemists reports
indicate. that very large percentage
of the liquor sold here is Of poison
Gus nature, surely those who buy
drinking materials run deadly risk
in their dealings with the bootleggers.
One who purchases must be sure be-
yond the least question about the in
tegrity of his supply. Painful illness,
possibly blindness. perhaps permanent
crippling. and it may even be death.
are the conceivable consequences OF
the drinking Of some of the concoc-
tions that are being daily marketed
illicitly.
But who can be sure Of the integrity
OF the bootlegger who supplies the
stuff? He is engaged in an unlawful
business. He is violating the statutes
daily. He is running a heavy risk Of
punishment. He is intent upon max
ing the most money in the possibly
short time in which he practices his
lawlcss trade. He is at the mercy Of
chance discovery. The temptation to
make more money by supplying cheap
goods is strong.
Perhaps there are strictly honest
bootleggers, who seek scrupulously to
supply only the purest stock. But can
they be sure that they are getting it?
They cannot advertise the purity Of
guarantee purity. They are, in the
classic business phrase, advertised by
their loving friends" But when the
loving friends" find their faith shaken
by official reports Of the impurity Of the
greater part of all the wet goods alb
sorbed here, as perhaps in other cities
as we'll, there is d slump in trade
How can confidence be restored?
The argument that prohibition
should be repealed because the law is
violated. and especially because it has
encouraged a wicked crime in poison
ing the Illicit supplies, is most spe-
cious, dangerous and illogical. The
law prohibits the theft of personal
property. Yet such property con-
tinues to be stolen and men lose their
lives in the game Of stealing it. Should
the law be repealed to make all per-
sonal property common, in order to-
avert the ills that attend private own!

Establishments use the mails at an in
creasing rate. Delivery and collection
service extends over an area which
was sparsely settled and was served
by rural and suburban post offices not
long ago.
In the volume Of mail handled on
which postage is paid the Washington
office has passed the four.million-dollar
mark, and If to that volume be added
mail on which postage is not paid the
Washington office would be in the
class with post offices Of American
and trade. If postage were paid on
government mail going out from
Washington the annual receipts Of
the office would be something like
$4,000, 900. That this volume of mail
goes free Is the governments business
but it must be handled in the same
way as postpaid mail. The remarkable
development Of the city post Office in
dicates that the salary Of the city
postmaster should be brought in line
with salaries Of postmasters in charge
of offices OF the flrst-rank cities.
The proposal to increase the salary
OF the Washington postmaster from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year will be brought
before Congress by the Post Office De-
partment. and the belief is that the in
crease will be allowed, though it is
not the practice Of Congress to grant
salary increases as soon as the justi-
fication for them is apparent. Argu-
ment, persuasion and persistence are
generally necessary in addition to
facts, and even such a combination
of factors often fails to bring about
salary increases that are manifestly
justified. 1t is thought, however, that
the reasons for an increase in the city
postmaster's salary are too plain to
be denied.

MEN AND AFFAIRS
BY ROBERT T. SMALL.

, residence with the same jealous cara
as during those trying days in the
White House when his life hung in
the balance. Mr.. Wilson gets many
letters. In fact. his mail is growing
to serious proportions but he seldom
indeed is permitted to come in per
sonal contact with anybody or any
| influence outside his own immediate
family. Mrs. Wilson takes care Or
an amazing amount of the former
Presidents correspondence, and he,,
brother. Mr.. Boiling, is Mr.. vii
sons secretary.
A good many former personal and
political friends OF Mr.. Wilson have
expressed regret over the fact tina,
they have not been permitted to see
the former President or get into what
they felt was personal touch with
him They have been rather taken
aback at the tightness and ABRUPT
f1nality with which the doors hal !
been closed against them.
All of this is extremely interesting
in view of the fact that every now
and then a story goes the rounds that
Mr. Wilson wants to be President
again and may make an effort for the
democratic nomination in 1924 Ger
tainly 1T would seem that the condi-
tons OF today preclude any such idea
Although he goes 10 the theater al
most weekly and rides daily about the
city, Mr.. Wilson still is an isolated
fgure-necessarily guarded from eX-
cltement and as many cares as pos
sible.
Mr.. Wilson still is popular with the
people. When his pictures are thrown
on the screen. even here in jaded
w Washin gton, there always is an out
burst of applause, particularly among
the women or an audience. But neither
through intrigue nor finesse have the
members of Mr.. Wilson's household
sought to further his popularity with
his old political friends and advisers
so II is difficult to see how a Wilson
coup or a Wilson comeback as a pres
idential possibility could be enei-
neered against the closed doors nf
street.

The Postmaster's Salary.

The growth Of the Washington post
office is obvious to all persons who
have lived few years in the District,

Of business and the manner in which
the city has spread over what few

woods are remarkable. The capital is
maintaining its growth, and its de-

Chinese Diplomats Latest to Suffer
As ENJOYS Of Impoverished Nation

toms service. organized by the late
Sir Robert Hart moro than a century
ago, is entirely under foreign man
agement and control, and under the
immediate protection of the foreign
embassies and LEGATIONS at Peking.
eral-one Of the capable successors of
Sir Robert Harris Sir Francis AE-
len. who has been in the service since
1883. Owing to its wise and honest
management. the Chinese maritime
customs service has always shown q
surplus, which in recent years has
amounted to as much as $25,000,000
annually. Now this surplus has, with
the consent of the foreign powers and
by virtue Of hard and fast agree
ment: been pledged as security yd for I'll the ie
loans obtained by the government
from native banking institutions.
Until now this interest has been
punctually paid by means Of the mari
time customs surplus. But DR.. Wei
on these domestic loans should be
allowed to go by default and tho sur
plus in question should be turned
over to him for the purpose Of cover
ing ,he large arrears of salary and
expenses Of tho Chinese diploma atic
missions in foreign lands.
To this demand Sir Francis Aglon,
the inspector general and supreme
chief of the Chinese maritime customs
service, has opposed an absolute re-
fusal. in which he is sustained not
only by all the foreign embassies and
legations at Peking. but also by the
entire native banking community in
China and by tho great guilds. which
exercise an enormous influence uuon
tho economic and also upon the po-
litica1 life Of China They all take
the ground that any suspension Of the
payment Of the interest and amortiza-
tion of the domestic loans would in
evitabIy precipitate a financial panic
with the gravest political and pos
sibly international consequences.
So DR.. Wellington Koo. according
to his own admission. finds himself
without means of paying either the
current salaries and expenses of the
diplomatic missions abroad, or from
doing anything toward the settle
ment of the heavy arrears of salary
and expenses. In one word, the
Chinese diplomatic service will have
from henceforth to be. restricted to
men Of large private means and who
will thus be independent Of any sus-
pension Of the payment OF their sal
aries and allowances by the treasury
at Peking.
While the outlook for the diplo-
mats now in the service of the
Chinese government. and who have
to rely upon their official stipends, il,
to say the least. gloomy, it must be
confessed that the impression ere
ated by the determination OF the
maritime customs service to live up
TO it's contracts for the allotment of
its surplus to the payment cf the in
terest and amortization OF the do
mestic loans Of the government
has done much to strengthen the con-
f,dence, If no. in the national treas
ury, at any rate, in the entire busi-
Less situation In China
