With the large dealers in foodstuffs
“a good market” is alAviys a high
market and when this is not in evi
dence through natural causes they
sometimes resort to questionable
methods of crea/ing an artificial
shortage of supplies. A Philadelphia
fruit company has just destroyed the
larger part of a cargo of bananas,
in perectly good condition, because
the market or bananas’was depressed.
In case of a big fire or a famine
ihe dealer who would destroy food
stuffs in older to secure, fancy prices
for iii teduced slock would be dealt
with summarily. There should be
son e way of preventing dealers from
making the people’s necessities food
for fattening their greed. The time
will come when men who destroy
foodstuffs solely for the purpose of
creating high prices will be punislt
td. The man wjio destroys food
stuffs for such an unworthy purpose
ought to spend a little time on a
bread and water diet.
There is always a tendency on the
occasion of civic elections for people
to prove traitors to themselves by
not taking the true interest of a citi
zen in the things that very vitally
concern them. We are approaching
a time when the citizens of Valdez
are about to place in the hands of a
number of men the policy of the city
government and the directing of the
schools. These things touch at the
Ypfy core of our business and aftect
us in the heart of our homes. It
is essential that we. men and women
alike, take sufficient interest in the
affairs of the community to investi
gate the candidates for the positions
that are to be tilled, and then to vote
for those men who are the cleanest,
whose policies are for our best in
terests and whose motto Will be.
‘ The greatest good for the greatest
number of the people.” We are look
ing forward to a greater Valdez. The
Reservation is now within the con
fines of the city. We are one com
munity with a common interest. We
have wonderful prospects in view.
The best council and the best school
• board is your privilege. Will you elect
it? It is up to you.
•‘It will cost Cncle Sam $511,492,
067 to run the Postoffice Department
during the next fiscal year. So the
next time you pay 49 cents for a
book of two dozen 2-cent stamps,
don't begrudge the expenditure,” says
the Kansas City Star. The Cnited
States has appropriated $511,492,067
for the operation of the postal service
for the next fiscal year, but the re
ceipt^ promise to be sufficient to
make the cost of operating the ser
vice practically nothing, even if a pro
fit is not produced. The Postoffice
Department is the only department of
the government that is self-sustain
ing.
Sues Surgeon for $15,000.
ATLANTIC (TTY.—Suit for $16,
000 was brought here recently against
Dr. Emory Marvel, a leading surgeon,
by 1. Woodridge Riley, professpr of
English at Vassar college, who al
leges that Dr. Marvel, after perform
ing an operation on the throat of his
four-year-old daughter, Katherine,
failed to remove a rubber drainage
tube from the incision.. For nearly
a year, it is alleged, the little girl
has been suffering. An operation by
Dr. Penrose of Johns Hopkins hos
pital was necessary to remove the
rubber tube.
Prof. Riley c’ urges gross negli
gence and carelessness on Dr. Mar
vel’s part. The girl was brought to
Atlantic City and placed in Dr. Mar
vel’s sanitarium and an operation
performed two years ago.
Dr. Marvel was sued for $10,000 by
the wife of the Rev. R. Folsom, who
alleged the surgeon had failed to re
move a pair of forceps from her
abdomen after an operation. The jury,
after a sensational trial, returned a
verdict of no cause for action.
