The bravest and noblest voice In Germany has at last been silenced, iuaxmiltan Harden the brilliant edi tor of Zukunft, has been ordored by Imperial decree to write no more during the war. His pen, the pen or a genius surpassing In power and Inspiration any other In the Uerman Empire today, Is to bo used only In compiling accounts. He is mado a military clerk. When such a man is muzzled, the world may well question the sincer ity of any program ot political, so cial or military reform put lorwarus by the government. One such act belles a thousand promises. It was Harden who warned the German government, time and time again, that Its treatment of the United Stutcs would drag this coun try into the r. He labored lndo futlgably to Interpret America to Germany. Ho perceived the good faith of President Wilson when the T. liolo Prussian pross was 'heaping obloquy upon him, and upheld Mr. Wilson as a mouthpiece of world democracy and a true friend of the German nntion. He fought the U boat riithlussnoss with all his might. Ho criticised tho government's mili tary methods, Its blundering foreign policy Its refusal to liberalize the political system. Ho warned the jingoes against conquest. He called upon Ills fellow-countrymen to make their own house habit able and "not an eyesore to the world." He preached a return to the higher splrltunl values that lmd animated tho older Germany the' Germany which intelligent Ameri cans still revere and love. Ho ci ilK clsed rodent peace talk as Insincere and mennlnglfws. ', He timidly de manded that tho people themselves should hnve a voice In the choice of war or peace, Instead of leaving the fate of the nation to one man. That was too much. The "one man" reached out his hand and stop ped Hnrdcn's mouth, Just as hn ship ped Llebltnocht's two years ago. "How long?" Harden was accus tomed to ask, in his eloquent philip pics. How long will the Gorman na tion continue to enduro such tyranny wllhout protest, niul totter on bllud ly lo Us own ruin? PRICE FIXING, Tho conservative gentlemen who object on prluciplo to governmental prlce-llxiug might do well to pondur tho fact that the Chicago Hoard of Trade hus Just fixed the piico of corn, by establishing a maximum trading prlco for it, and is likely to fix the prices ot other important co real crops in the sumo Informal way. Tho Elgin Hoard continues its ukuiiI pructice of setting prices for dairy products. Tho parking houses set prices lor meat, Coal men are still selling prices for fuol, In spite ot tho government agreement. And' the ga'ublers are setting prices for every thing they cun get their hands on, - lite simple expedient uf cornorlng the market whllw congress dawdles over tho food control hill. Prices will he llxed, novor fenr. They mo being llxed now with a vciiKllennce, ami Its going to require a Herculean effort to unllx them on a popular and equitable basis. The only question Is whether they're go ing to be llxed for the rest of the war by Irresponsible private Inter ests, for the sake of their own bank accounts, or by responsible govern ment agencies, for tho salio of the public welfare.

Take, for instance, Mesopotamia. Barely one-tenth of the land there iB cultivated today and only in thu most primitive manner; the soil Is scratched with the ancient plow, tho seeus are sown among noxious weeds. And yet a grain of wheat yields from 400 to BOO grains.

The program given to the ltobeburg pub lic was heavy from the standpoint of public orators but quite light and pithy from many other points of View which had the effect of lessen ing the usual amount of Interest tak en In these annual attractions. It's a mighty hard problem to please the public, but those who specialize In this line of work are supposed to "deliver the goods" especially when tho public pays the bill. There is no other alternative lo make theso attractions popular they must bo up to the standard and then some to gain the proper recognition. Itcports from many cities Indicate a striking decrease In the quantity of garbago collected, and in the amount of fats and nitrogenous mutter it contuinB. In lluffulo and Cleveland, during a period of two mouths, the amount or fat recovered from the garbage has decreased 40 per cont.

Soap and fertiliz er are valuable, but wo get better value out of our fut and protclds when wo ent them. The United States army Is relont Iohh In Its pursuit of tho high cost ot living. According to figures given out by Genera) Smith of tho quartermas ter's department It costs almost three times as much to feed an American soldier touuy as it did in the Spanish- Amcrleaa war. The cost in 1S08 was 12.81 cents a day. Now It Is 32 cents. Tho ration is a fixed stand ard, and accordingly tho cost flgureB liuvo mounted steadily In recent yeurs.
