Evidentl’ the lamer is not imaginative enough L. ,,, ^derstand the bureaucratic mind. To have money to apenU is the great ambition of officialdom. A good sired appropriation and a large clerical Ioi* e are the tangible evidences of an official'* importance. It i» natural, therefore, that War Department officials would prefer to sell surplus 1 shoe* and buy new one*, rather than ums those on hand.

HOW PALMER DID IT. The real loss to the American pie in the fixing of sugar pricei Rainier was not in the increase ol price paid for Louisiana sugar. When palmer officially announced that 17 or lb cents to the Louisiana prodoo would not be considered an unreasonable price, all the sugar In the United states became Louisiana sugar, so far ns the ultimate ictail purchaser was concerned. Mr. Palmer admits this. All sugar looks alike when it is dump , j nito a barrel. U> his official promise of immunity to the Louisana sugar people, Mr. Palmer viitually gave im munity oto all others selling at the same price. For all practical puipo*e«, therelore, I'.ilmer was th« man who fixed the high price ot sugar.

Trenton.—There appears to lie some confusion In the iiiltuls of the general public n-gunllng the terms of the Hansen housing law, the only hous'ng measure to pass this year's legislature. The provtsoliis are theae: No monlh to niomli tenant or one who has no agreed term for letting, who has compiled with the rent terms, can be dispossess.tl under leas than three mouths' notice. This clause Is designed lo allow tenants who have l.een served with dismisses* notice* sufficient time to find new quarters adequate to their needs. No tenant who has paid the ugn-ed rent can be dispossessed between Octolier 1 and April 1. This Is to prevent tenant* from being set out In the street during the winter months. In any case where the leasing agreement Is In writing and the tenant hold* ove* «fter The termination of the lean, with ilie consent of the Inedlor^. It shall la- unlawful for the latter to dispossess the tenant under leas Hum three months' notice. If the tenant hold« over after October 1. with Hie consent of the landlord, he cannot t>e ■hspos'-ssed before the 1st of the next
