In view of the promises of many of the Democratic candidates for var ious state a”d federal offices in 1912, that if given the power to direct and control legislation the high cost of living should be reduced, the cam paign for 191-t is a most opportune promises. The people in every city and in every manufacturing district will be anxious to know why piices of the great majority of articles they have to purchase have advanced-in the face of these-gentlemen having the power to reduce them. It is net ill Massachusetts, Connec ticut, Rhode Island, New Vork, Pe/in- sylvania and New Jersey alone that the workingm.e:! will insist on ex planations, but in every city and ov- ei*y industi'i;il district in the United States the voters will call for an ex- their meats (the beef trust being ex ploded), their freights (railway com bines being dissolved), their clothing .(the woolen monopoly being crushed) are costing them now, low^ered. by the gentlemen who obtained office prom ising to do all these things. It is due to the gentlemen who have done so -much to reduce the cost of Uving to the people that they should publish broadcast the evidence of th^ir faithful'ne^i to their pledges.

The beef trust seems not only mightier than the pen. but than the tongue, mightier than both ton^^ue and pen combined, for in the platfonns through resolutions, and by speeches were the voters of the United St-ites promised that its power should be broken and its control of prices should depart foi’ever. It is time for the Democrats, Svho were to reduce the price? to the massc.s of the people, to '-ull for th(; table:- of the J)epi!rtn)c-!+. of Commerce and inflection at the end, each sentence lost in the continuous tumult of sound. In a long line, perched on high stools, they sat before the black panels which rose behind their narrow desk. Into the transmitters—hung from their necks—they articulated their strange confused chorus. .And apparently without relation to the words they '.t- teretl, 100 pairs of hands reached b^ck and forth across the panels, weaving interniinarbly a never-to-be-completed pattern on its finely checkered face. On the panels 100 little lights liliak- cn white iiiul disappeared. Tiny were gone. Untiring, th» whito sUrs flickered in isnd our, and bdund tiieip raced the tireless hands, weaving a strange pattern with the long green cords.

There is only one cure and that is training oneself into good mental habits. To' do this, persistence and patience are ail eneded. A week, cr a month is not likely to suffice.

The War «nd the P«M> Msii's Bread. JEditoi- of The Daily News: This is harvesting season snd the Lnit.ed States i-oints with pride to tier Wonderful bumpev crop of wheat. Eu rope is severely busy at present di recting the grini reaper death, mean while neslscting her, -wasting crop of food supplies. At the same time the living population of Europe e.\- pect to eat during the coming winter months and evidently they .expe.t to buy their food supplies *fr».m the United States. Eeasoning from this basis it is clear that prices in this country will inevitably rise m‘,ich high er. The cheapest laborer in .Almerica will be forced into competitic.i wi'Ji the incnari’hs of Europe i l)uying bread. . The speculative element of tho Unit ed States, as elswhere, are patriotic enough to let millions hunger, pro vided they themselves get hette.' prices elsswhere. Tlie individualistic systt m of industry as applied to modern ape wi!l calmly permit millions to' be slaughtered on the one hand, while on the other hand, hundreds of thousands in another nation may starve to death. Our administration at Washhigton is (■oing- nothing towards averting the awful calamity that will surely bear down upon us within the next few months. Men by the thousands will likely be laid off from work during the cold, bitter winter months. Many cf these have lai’ge families to sup port. Then will a crisis begin. High prices for food, no work at any price. “Hungry men are hard to deal with,” says Leslie JI. Shaw, and that is a fact. Why will not our government now' ! buy up the wheat and other crops of jthis country and sell them back to us I at cost ? This can be worked out by I those whom we have put at the helm of our “ship of state." They can cer tainly provide the omney. As proof of this to a degree, a news dispatch last Sunday from Washington stated that congress had turned over $55,000 to the Governor of Virginia for the negroes to use in celebrating the Emancipation day. The same issue of the same paper carried another tel egraphic di^teh from Galvinton, Texas, stating Chat on last. Satur day four ships sailed from Europe car rying 895,000 bushels of our v^eat away. WTiy not postpone the nigger frolic and buy up the wheat? Hun gry niggers can’t dance. They must first be fed. Where was our congress- ma.i from this district, the aged Con- deferate major when the Emancipation appropriation was being considered ? We are looking to him and others in pow^er to make some provision where by we can suppo^ourselves and those “The.Hcavieat Bsttalions.*’ In raying that God is always mth the strongest,” Huerta is evidently paraphrasing the cynical remark us ually frttributed to Napoleon, but which in reality has been common property for centuries. “Every schoolboy knows," as tliey say—really meaning that the “Cyclo paedia cf Practical Quotations’’ shows —that the first reference of the sort was by Tacitus, who wrote, “The gods are on the «ide of the stronger.” Vol taire c.-ade it famous in a letter writ- dependent upoa. tH» winter if the' ten in 1770 in which, he said, “It is worst comes to fee worst. | said that God is alvrays on the side DAVID H.

Quite several. O- Now there is reported a vegetable seed shortage, due to the fact tnat much vegetable seed is ordinarily in* pored. We move that hereafter veg etable seed be raised at home.
