MAKE THE PUNISHMENT IMPRISONMENT.
A LITTLE STORY in Monday's editorials, taken from a Now York paper,
entitled "A Puzzle," and showing the travels of a head of cabbage
from grower to consumer, and the tolls levied on it and by whom, until
from the cent and a half received by the mini who grew it, the price had
advanced to 13 cents when it finally reached tho family that ate it. It
is a rathar suggestive story, with a plainly visiblo moral.
That especial head of cabbage is not the only one in tho country, in fact,
they are so common that when a cabbage head Is consumed, the chances are as
ten to one that the practice of cannibalism bas been indulged In.
If there is any branch or twig of tho a gricultural industry that is not ex
ploited in some way, it has not yet boon discovered by the genorol public
Not long ago the authorities were waging a vigorous campaign against man
ufacturers and dealers for putting poisons in thoir foodstuffs to preserve them.
Dr. Wiley and his famous "poison squad" did good work, and helped the pub
lic in gsttlng purer foodstuffs.
Now some of the manufacturers will be jacked up for not putting poison in
their products. In many rospocts this is really a greater crime than uiiing the
poison. Fanners and fruit growers all over the country are being imposed on
by makers of dope, warranted to kill bugs, germs and insects of all kinds that
infest fruit trees and othor growths.Thesa are all of a rwisonous character,
and the manufacturers sell ihe stuff as such.
It soems to be Impossible, though, for a manufacturer to be honest, and
these sprays and post destroyors, tho thioving manufacturers lanve out tho poi
sons that cost something, and uno Boine substitute that is absolutely worthless
snd on which the bugs grow fat. One gang Is prosocutod sometimes for put
ting poisons in our foodstuffs, simply because they can inako more money by
so doing, and the others keep tho poison, the ono necessary ingredient, out of
the bug dope, because they can mako a cent or two nioro out of each packago
by this course.
This shows to what lengths tho robbers of this dims will go, for in order
to add a trifle to profits, tluit under isiml circumstances arc nt least 800 per
cent on first cost, thoy deliberately destroy food product and reduce yields.
In order to niako a few cents, they doceivo the fruit grower or fanner into
doing huudred of dollars' worth of work tluit is not only usews, but by so
doing they prevent hini toiling caro of his crops, protecting thorn, and supply
iuK tho markets, and by so doing lcsseu"Mio world's supply, and not only make
tho fanner do an extra amount of work, but by deceiving him, destroy his crop.
. There should be a special punishment provided for this class of robbers and
it should bo at least as severe ns that for murder, for ho who destroys humani
ty's food supply la worso than a murderer.
Tho government is printing a list of tho names of these crooked manufac
turers who have been caught and "fined,"
That last word explains why tho offenso still continues, why tho unscrupu
lous continue to rob tho fanner and fruit grower and still pour onto tho mar
kets thoir worthless products. They aro "finod" ns a punishment.
if they are caught, the government takes a small portion of their ill-gotten
gains, and lets them go, If they aro not caught, they keep tho whole choose.
The fining system is an inducement to such as they to commit crime. If
caught they loso part of their plunder, if not they keep It all. When tho fnrco
of punishing tho wealthy by fining them is done away with, and prison sen
tences are given Instead, there will bo fair dealing and honost goods of all
kinds, snd until that time thieves will flourish end tho average citizen bo as
now, robbed.
A FAMILY WHOSE NEEDS ARE FEW.
IiS. Oi'OHOK O. HKYK, wife of a millionaire who made his money In
oil and othor slipHry ways, and who has separated from her husband,
has asked the court to come to her relief and compel her husband to
furnish her money enough to properly raise and eduoato thoir children,
of which there aro two, ono 8 ami tho other 4 year old. It seems that
lleye set apart for this purposo the beggarly sum of $1.1,000 a year, and with
steely heart refuse to como through with moro, though his wife tearfully pro
test that she cannot possibly raise the chlblron "according to their rank and
station in life" on any such paltry sum.
Hacking her tearful pleadings the poverty-stricken and unfortunate lady
put up the figure to show why she needs more and also why $,10,000 a year is
not a dollar too much for tho purposo, The showing 1 worth jKruslng as an in
sight Into what one leally needs to properly raise a family.
The lady start her list by showing tho nornsaity of the service of an or
thodontist, who in common parlance is a "tooth sharp," and a real stylish one
costs for each child 1000 a year and they are hard to get even at that price,
that is If Fashion ha sot the seal of her approval on them. Two doctors aro
also necessary at a yearly salary of $1(100 each,
Then comes riding lessons, tennis courts, club due and dancing lesson, and
this does not mention the tango, and these are placed at tho modest sum of $!,
800. Then tho tender-hearted mother slips Into her bill of necwwlties for her
little one an item of $2000 which is to pay for 40 photographs at 25 apiece.
For parties, favors and an expert to oriinUe their amusements tho mother
says $1000 It little enough, and toys, mechanical doll and such thing cost an
other $1000. Then follow items of trained nurse at $10 a week, $'.'0H(j nurse
maid, $000; French nursery governess, not); chauffeur at $100 a month and
an assistant at $120 a month, $2,100, I'pkecp of auto, (Hi-horsepower, $000; pro
portion of wiewing car every three year, $1100) redecorating the nursery
rtti'h year, kindergarten course and laundress aro lumped at 1H20. Then
conies a real necessity, 4 Paris frock for the girl at $100 each snd fur Includ
ing two ermine coat at $100 each, totaling $1400. The boy must absolutely
have twelve imorted suit at $10 each, $IS0; and the two need (50 pair of
shoos costing $13 each or $000. Other clothes in the way of linens aro jotted
down at $2000 a year, and the jewelry bill is held down to $1.10 yearly and this
go to the girl, who 1 given one poor little pearl, Then the frugnl little wo
man very properly ay that each of the children should bo charged with one
third of tliii house rent and hunse keep sg bills, and these she modestly places
at $6606 a year, hor rent costing her only $10,000, as she lives in a flat and
does not attempt to put on style, as she might do by maintaining an establish
ment. Besides this, she places the children's share of the summer cottage and
the outing at Newport each summer at $.1000. This makes the grand total for
the children's upkeep for one year, $.11,230. This, as every married man knows,
is a reasonable amount for any woman to ask, and certainly not an unreasona
ble sum for the children to have spent on them. There was another item we
overlooked that goes into the grand total, and that is, tluit each child is al
lowed$2 a week spending money. The bereaved divorcee says the children
should not have more than this, as it might teach them extravagance, and they
are taught to use this with rigid economy, and to use it in making little pres
ents to thoir friends. This iB teach them both economy and generosity, and
keep them from growing up and developing into tight wads.
The mothor figures that with this meager allowance she can develop the girl
into something fit for a Duke or Lord to marry, and the boy into a man who
can dance the tango and knock the top off a bottle of champagne with grace
and dispatch. She probably can. However, the hard-hqarted judge made
slighting remarks to hor and shocked her feelings by telling her she was ex
travagant and that he thought she could got along on the miserable pittance
provided by her husband, a beggarly $15,000 a year.
It would be interesting in this connection to have a statement of the cost
of raising a boy and girl of the same ago by a family in Big Tim Sullivan's
district. We have not the figures, but it would run about as follows: Grub
for the two one year, $70. One pair ot shoes, each 7.1c cents, total, $1.50. For
clothing, dad's old clothes made over for the boy and two shirts, 80 cents. For
tho girl, total for wardrobe, $1.0.1. Toys, whatever the youngsters could grab
onto, anything from a dead cat to a second-hand accordeon fished from a
garbage barrel, cost nothing.
The services of the orthodontist wera performed by their mother with a
twine string, and the doctor was replaced by 25 cents worth of whatever kind
of drugs the mothor had in the house. Total cost for the two for the year,
$74.50.
With this starter the mother who takes in washing will bring up a girl
that will do her part in the world as an industrious worker and in turn raise a
thrifty family that in three generations will probably be doing the same fig
uring that MrB. Heye has just done. Tho boy will probably turn out to be a
hustler, just, from early training, will build railroads, dig canals for the
world aud raise a family that in three or four generations will be as dudish as
the Hcycs. That i tho American way. The Heyes and the family from Sulli
vans district are related only they are three generations apart.
S'
THIS SOUNDS LIKE HOME.
AN FRANCISCO is having a nice little muddle of its own over a petition
filed in order to invoke the referendum on the redlight abatement act
passed by tho last legislature. Experts who examined the petition say
that hundreds of the names thereon were written by two men, and that
they made no attempt to disguise their writing, and fhat whole pages of
the registration book were copied onto the petition. The ladies got busy and
tried to have the men indicted, but thogrand jury ignored them. Then they
went to the judge, in this case Judge Dunne, and insisted that he discharge
the grand jury. The judge repliod that he could but wouldn't, and then one
of tho ladies called him a liar. The judgo came back by telling the ladies
composing tho committee,, that if they would take steps to organize a society
for the suppression of tho tango and s ilit gowns they would do "Society"
somo good. Now the todies will apply to Attorney General Webb, to bring
suit against tho secretary of state to restrain him from putting the referendum
measure on tho ballot.
It is a pretty family row, and while the judgo and jury seem so far to have
the advantage, we put our coin on the ladies, for they are out to win, and
that Bottles it.
