Food Prices Will Never Return to Their Old Standard. CHERE IS LITTLE CHANCE OF PRICES EVER RETURN-i ING TO THE OLD LOW STANDARD. Only OXE-T1IIR!) of the to tal population of the country is now engaged in producing food for the remaining two-thirds. This will be shown by statistics to be is sued by the census bureau. Only two generations ago two-thirds of the population was engaged in pro There Are Not Enough Pro ducers. By WILLET M. HAYS. Acting Secretary of the Department of Agriculture. duction. To this remarkable reversal is THE HIGH COST OF LIV ; TNG MAINLY DUE. One of the other big factors has been the great increase in gold , : and exchange paper, such as checks. WITn MONEY PLENTIFUL PRICES INCREASE. With production in linen other than farming products rapidly increasing it is but natural that many men should turn into those industries. No matter how much the demand for other prod ucts may increase, men can cat only a certain amount of food. Therefore the only thing that can affect the sale of food is the INCREASE IN THE NUM * BER OF CONSUMERS. Progress along other lines <| ■will not affect food. '! THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD MAKE LOW PRICES CERTAIN t FOR A LONG TIME WOULD BE A CONTINUATION OF BANNER (CROPS LIKE THOSE OF 1910. ..- - ■ ■ -- four^Cide^Are^RLnedl I by People In the Rural Districts. { BRAND WHITLOCK. Mayor of Toledo, O. -- IW CIIE greatest problem before the American city today is to be come free. No further progress in municipal affairs can be made UNTIL THE CITIES OBTAIN HOME 1UJLE. This is as true of New York city as it is of Toledo. New York must-have home rule before it can solve the great problems that confront it. THE AMERICAN CITY IS A CREATION OF THE STATE LEGIP LATURE. ITS LAWS ARE MADE SY PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE RURAL DISTRICTS. THE TIME HAS COME WHEN THIS YOKE MUST BE THROWN OFF. THE TIME HONORED BELIEF THAT COUNTRY FOLKS ARE GOOD AND CITY PEOPLE BAD AND THAT THE FORMER SHOULD GOVERN THE LATTER HAS BEEN SHAT TERED. The recent disclosures in Adams county, O., a typical rural com muni!v, where more than a thousand persons have been indicted i r sellin ■ tli • ir v< • ■ , -1 -w bow unlit c untry folk are to make laws 1 >r eitie Tl, I'ilii • f this country SllOi.

For centuries there lias existed a popular fallacy that everything that i w l i to be found in the eitie-, while all the virtues are to be found i:i the country; t! city people arc bad and country people con o in - d. And l au-e of this belief the cities have been RULED BY ITIL FF.OFLF. IX I'lIK COUNTRY DISTRICTS. The laws that govern New York city were made and arc made by rep resentatives from the rural districts of New York state, and the same is true of every oilier city in the United States. A city cannot be run like a big business corporation for the reason that RURAL LEGISLATORS HAVE RESTRICTED ITS POW ERS to six li an f xt-nt that local government, is almost impossible. What the United States Must Do to Protect Panama Canal. By Bear Admiral GEORGE W. MELVILLE, Retired. Tr T woi Id be an excellent thing if the government could establish a protectorate over Honduras of the'sort that lias worked so well in Santo Domingo. I am unable to speak ex-cathedra on the matter, for I have no inside knowledge of it, but I believe that it could not but PROMOTE HARMONY AND PRO TECT AMERICAN INTERESTS IN CENTRAL AMERICA. I do not think that any | "it in the country w aid 1 ■ of any great value to our navy now that we hold Panama. But i advantages for this country in •ccurr.g ■"Mnething like stability in CVuftal America would certainly he very great. A FAR MORE IMPORTANT AMD IMPERATIVE PROJECT, SO FAR AS THE NAVY IS CONCERNED. AND, INDEED, THE PROTECTION OF AMERICAN INTERESTS IN THE PROXIMITY OF THE CANAL ZONE, IS THE ACQUISITION OF THE DUTCH ISLAND OF CURACAO AND MORE ESPECIALLY THE DANISH WEST INDIES. NOW THAT WE HOLD PANAMA AND WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD IT IN SPITE OF THE PEACE PARTY AND MR. ANDREW CARNEGIE'S SPLENDID GIFTS. WE NEED TO PROTECT IT AND TO PROTECT THE TRADE ROUTE WHICH LEADS TO IT. ST. THOMAS IS A STRATEGIC POINT of prime importance for such protection. It lies right in the path of the northeast trade winds and along the course vessels take in passing fr m Panama in Europe. SEE THE OTHER SIDE. Here* Is a throe sided box. painted upon one side red, upon another side white, upon another side bine. A man stands tit one side and. see ing but the one shit', says. "It is paint ed rod." Another man. looking at the box front liis angle of vision, says "\o; yi u tire mistaken. The box is painted while." A t. ird man from Ills point of view Nays to them: "You art' both mistaken. The box is painted blue.” I Now— A fourth man walks around the box i and says: "You are all mistaken. The box is painted red AND white AND itlue." And the fourth man is right. Is it not plain that much depends upon tlie point of view? And that the man who sees things from only one angle Is apt to be narrow, provincial, prejudiced, possibly conceited? Would that we all, for the good of the world and for the peace of the world, might walk entirely around the trutli before we become so insistent and intolerant. There’s the moon. 1 u snows oniy one siue to us—me side with "the man in the tuoon.” For all we know there may be a wo man lu the moon ou the other side of it. Now, the people of Mars—if there are people there see both sides of the moon, according as the seasons change. Is it uot therefore plain thut the peo ple of Mars would know more about the moon than we do? Ofteijtjijjesi, we .dispute ns we might dispute' with the Martians and say there is no other side of the moon. If we would only go slow until we see all sides. That is what the big minds do. They are able to see clear around a tiling, or if they cannot see they say, “We do not know." Fact is, brethren and friends, many of us do not want lo see the other side if we could. And by mid by we come lo believe there is no other side save the one we know and believe in. Then we go tip against somebod.\ who U*a se?n only the other side and believes in it alone. Result? Arguments, disputes. Hashings. And there you have your rnee hatreds and your wars and your burn ings at the stake and your band lifted Up against hand. Let us look on our neighbors’ side of the box before we quarrel with our neighbors about tIn* color of It. Our neighbors are just as sincere^— and as narrow perhaps ns we. No man ever becomes as import ant as a woman thinks tlit' bishop of her church is. You frequently hear of an honest gambler. That is 1 lie kind that tells you how the election is com ing out. When a man has a cinch on his job he talks a good deal about los ing it. Occasionally there in a man who who will quit smoking to please a woman; that is, tin r is occasionally a simile man who will pel form this difficult feat. town is a mail void of ambition, lie member this ami get busy.
