excepting the two councilmcr who
have been conspicuous by their pre
sence.
LABOR'S D1F1T' I LTMtS.
Bn ause most of the nations
have since they declare 1 war fol
lowed the example of Germane and
throe n individual liberties delibe
ratcL overboard— because in war
ri g upon what they cr.il Prussian
militarism almo". all the n.uionsj
copied the methods of that Prussian •
militarism, the dispatches which
tel! us that in Germany the mill
tary authotitics are now suppress
ins union labor activities, are to sav 1
the least ominous.
Nor will It be lost upon Labor
that Carl Legier preceded Gompers
in taking for Germany the precise
attitude that Gompers took in
America.
CHEAPER BREAD.
The recent dispatch which de
clared that cheaper bread was a ne
cessity and that it would have to be
delivered, is not confirmed by “ex
pert" information. The price cf
wheat forbids it. says this opinion
The millers, according to prior
dispatches, volunteered to co-oper
ate. You will note that all big bus
iness is co-operating these days.
And these volunteer co-operates
set the maximum profit for milling
it 25c. a barrel. “Men familial
will milling conditions and vho
ire r, ot volunteers", says a press
dispatch"* assert that before the
war 5c. was good enough for the
millers to make per Parrel ’. Now
figure t'.iis up. He gets 25c. profit,
lie is to be allowed 75c. “manufae- j
turing cost", he will get $1.11 foi !
mill feed which makes up the by- \
product of the wheat used in pro-’
iucing flour per barrel. He will
also get 39 cents as the differential :
it 9 cents a bushel between the cost [
of the 4 1-2 bushels of the wheat |
of the grade actually i*;ed in mak
ing the barrel ot flour and the ' Jst
of that much wheat r.t S 2.2<o bushel !
In short by this system of govern
ment aided mathematics applied to.
profit making, the milling trust will
a t $2.5>fi more than the amount it I
pa vs for the win at for each barr-1
of flour. That profit is cortainh l
to be called “reasonabl--" by th:
milling trust.

h •:! of >Vw York *o put him |
r as an ittc ■pend'-rt nr#!.i' |
for a second term is one that wi :1
r sit it: a stirring election
The main charge against Mit H
eil is the fact of Koekeft Her domi
nance. He has been hand in glove
with Wall Street fom the start, but.
that would be no new thing. But
because in allowing the Rotkefellet
foundation to experiment with the
school system and with the bureau
of municipal research there i9
quite a lot of misgiving.
We see no reason why any
Foundation whatever its name be
allowed to interfere with e.'ucation
It does. But for all that there is
just as much danger in privately
aided non-sectarian education as in
publicly aided sectarian education.
And if one form of religion is not
to be allowed to dominate the pub
lic schools so also should no form
of private wealth be al'ov. e J to do
so.
The fact that great Foundations
do exert a tremendous inO tence
upon the higher education is nn
to be denied and it i3 one of the
most sinister signs of the times. It
is evolving a professorial faculty
which is nothing more or less than
a priesthood devoted to the wor
ship service of gre-at wealth.
Even in evidence is the influence
of the Rockefeller interests in
New York on the Bureau of Muni
cipal Research. That Bureau had
been doing in portant work because
that research was engaging in chan
nels above being questioned lor
bias. But the Rockefeller tentacles
reached out: through the Founda
tion they made an endowment,
making it conditional upon the ap
pointment cf one man who could be
relied upon *o direct the work of
the Bureau into sate, sane and con
servative Rcckefelierir.n channels.
These are indictments against
Mitchell. And it is not unlikely
that will experience the reaction
follows fri m ill publicity is being
ui' i n tlc-ir. in his rivi.ls.
