AGITATORS NOT NEEDED The effort to give the continued rioting of women of the tenements in New York the appearance cf a. sporadic uprising as the result of the of agitators is wasted labor. The arrest of one or two women who acted as march leaders and office-step orator for. the mass of mothers and children who swarmedabout the City building may have been an act of prudence under th'3 circumstances to forestall unnecessary heightening of the excitement, comments the Pittsburgh Dispatch, hut does not affect 'the sit uation or the causes that lie all around It. It is probable the march to tho hall and the outbursts against the push cart peddlers and small shop keepers were inspired by soap bqx agitators.

It. may be admitted for argument's sake that the three days rioting was born of agitations the fact still lernains as a haunting reproach that cause for the agitation and its result-nnt demonstratlonsexists, not merely in the tenement sections of New York, but all over the city, and in very other city. Demonstrations and riots are no cures for anything in New York or elsewhere, but may be the means of leading to a cure or palliation of a bad condition The food situation that confronts a more or less angered and bewildered nation is something much more difficult and far different than the old problem of unemployment which plagues cities and states. The Justice of the demonstration's cause In New York is well established in the long list of 'investigations" and "probes" which made -reports confirming common knowledge with the opinions from law departments that nothing can be done for public relief. The perfunctory" suggestion that people in a democratic country enjoying Its greatest prosperity shoylcl not be hungered and must not be deprived of liberal food supply has a hollow sound in the face of facts.

Results are what are inspected and what count. The low waged part of the population which is hungry while working its hardest because earnings cannot buy enough to sustain life, should not be criticised too quickly if it is unable to the difference to themselves between that prosperty and want of it. Neither should they be condemned for willingness to forego so much prosperity if it will restore an opportunity to buy food. Potatoes retailing at close to $1 per peck, and beans at 50 cents per round, tell their own story without the assistance of agitators. THE WAR AFTER THE WAR The London press gives a cool reception to the report over influential names recommending a protectionist policy for the British Empire.

It is represented as a first step toward an economic alliance against political enemies. On that head a useful hint Is given by the address on Tuesday before the Wisconsin Commercial congress by Mr. Schwedtman, of the National City bank. He said: The war after the war will be internal rather than external: not a bitter commercial competition with European countries, but a struggle within the nation itself against waste, extravagance. obsolete methods, class and economic ignorance.

That was spoken of ourselves, but in all kindness the main thought Is worthy England's consideration. It would be a mistake for England to learn from Germany either politics or economics. And It would be better for Germany to adopt the economics which it is proposed that England should abandon. As Admiral Chadwick said to the Lawyers "club the other day: Wo have come to the parting of the ways. We must face actualities.

The nation cannot maintain Its In- i i 1 I A-, i Look, Mother!

Oh, remember how she loved me; Many a tear for me she shed. In my sickness she was loving: Ever lingering round my bed. How I long to meet my mother. Who has gone beyond my view. Just to tell her, oh, so gently: Mother, none loves me like you.

Editor Th Gazette: Would it Invidious to inquire what the churches are doing to hasten the overthrow of the. demon of. rqm in our fair and flourishing city? Here is the stronghold of one of the greatest Protestant denomination! in the world: and its moral influence, together with sister churches and other civic bodies, if rightly exerted, should undoubtedly be able to break the deadly grip of the insufferable booze demon on our community, our homes and our children, and give us city of 'which intelligence and. decency might proudly boost.

I Now that the liquor traffic Is surely on the run that blow after blow from the courts of Justice and the moral forces of society is falling upon it with crushing power, why should not the churches enter vigorously Into a. campaign for its lutter banishment to the hell whence it emanated and thus free mankind from a curse more dreadful than death? Its final destruction Is inevitable. Why not all lovers of God, and home, and native land combine to "hurry the funeral, and thus cause heaven, and the angels and the hosts of righteousness to "rejoice from the "rivers to the ends of the earth? Why not? Will our churches answer? What could more certainly result in the promotion) of truth and the up- if of our common humanity? We "watchfully wait" for a candid honest reply. B. MAN lt may be doubted whether ever i the world will witness such a of economics to politics is embodied in our continental free It is a shining example before all men of the merits of that policy.

Nevertheless, if it were- proposed to -stablish the United States today it must be doubted whether it could be accomplished, bearing in mind the sectional spirit shown at Washington. would be more difficult to. unite the British Empire on a protectionist 1 asis. The political unity would as certainly as our revolution suited from the attempt to subordinate economie interest to British politics. If it is imaginable that the British Em pire should on a basis.it is not possible to thin1: an economic union contrary to the of all the allies for reasons politics.

England needs Germanys efficiency in everything but politics. FORDS 1000 SUBMARINES A DAY (From the Baltimore Sun) We still think Mr. Ford showed lack of judgment when he sent his peace ship to Europe, but there is evidently no disoount in his Americanism. And if he Can make 1,000 small submarines a day he can accomplish far more in bringing the war to an end than by a thousand peace boats. It would be a curious thing if pacifists like the president and Mr.

Ford should accomplsh what all the allied fighting men have not been able to do.

TEACHING PEOPLE TO EAT RICE the New York -Herald) "Wherever rice gets a trial it stays," says the New Orleans States in an editorial commenting on a' statement in one of the series of interviews with grocers that have been printed in The Herald recently. One of the reasons why rice is being eaten more than it used to be, The States continues, Is that it has had the benefit of some intelligent advertising.

would come into even more general -use as a cheap and nutritious foodstuff if it1 hod still more advertising. Our Louisiana contemporarys- advice might be taken to heart by those parts of the south which produce the staple. The high price of wheat. has already caused a great increase in the consumption of rice and other less ex- tensive foods, and as the price of wheat likely to remain high until long after the swords are turned Into plowshares, the rice growers not only can improve their markets, but they can perform a public service by spreading the gospel of the nutritive value and low cost of an article of food that every home needs at this time. WHAT WE COULD DQv IN WAR (From the Boston Transcript Very often the question has been asked.

What could the United States do in a war with Germany and her allies? The question whether should be able to render a prompt and effective service, in case of war, is answered by Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, of the British Navy, who ay that the United States navy, In proportion to Its units, is better than any other afloat, and who outlines a program of transatlantic convoying and ocean patrol duty which would be of the greatest possible assistance to the entente allies. In the war thus far the British navy has had about ail it wanted to do in "containing the German navy. It has on the whole accomplished that task, but there have been enough escapes of German vessels in the North Sea to indicate that the British fleet in being cannot be broken up sufficiently to do effective convoy and patrol duty in the Atlantic, or even off the Irish and Scottish Atlantic coast. The employment of the United States navy in this duty would be of enormous service. As for the military participation, that would mean the moral effect of "millions coming." The shadow of those millions, evert in training in American camps, would be cast potently athwart the council tables of Berlin and Vienna.

For that matter, the presence of even 75,000 American regulars, Inured to mountain duty and hard and, very mobile field service, would also make a great difference on the Macedonian line. If used to the best advantage, there is just wliere they would go. A CURB ON LICENSE LIBERALITY That is a common-sense decision of the Pennsylvania Supreme court that the judges of Bchuykill county must consider the question of necessity in connection with the applications for liquor licenses, regardless of the fact that licenses have been granted to applicants heretofore. The question of necessity has always been one of the supposed elements in considering the granting of liquor licenses, but many of the judges of the state have apparently interpreted this to mean political necessity, if we may judge from the number of liquor licenses granted in some of the counties of the state. There can be no real necessity for go many licenses in many of the counties.

One for less than every two hundred cf a population is certainly too many to meet- any legitimate demand for liquor. Efforts have frequently been, made to have the legislature pass a law limiting the number of licenses to be granted in any community, basing the number upon the population. This has been the policy of the license courts, in Philadelphia and a few other counties for some years past, sines none of the more drastic suggestions for curbing the drink habit is likely to get through the present legislature, it would not be a bad idea for the present legislature to curb the disposition of some judges to use the liquor license powers they ha by limiting the number of licenses they may grant, holding the number to not more than one for each 1000 population.
