SAN FRANCISCO WILL HOLD FAIR

Travel in Europe is not likely to be as popular with Americans
for some years to come as it has been, say the Chicago Herald. Sew
eal European governments have proven unpeansanty explosive and
quite disregardful of the comfort of visitors who have no part in their
quarrel And even If the war is over by next summer Europe isn't
going to be cleaned up for visitors.
However, Americans will desire to take travel vacations next sum-
mel just as usual, and will be able to afford them. AS o as trade
and transportation conditions get readjusted the United States is going
to do a big and prosperous business. The American people will have
money to spend O pleasures "a well as necessaries of life.
And there is going to be a fine show in San Francisco next year
Don't forget that. The Panama-Pacihc exposition is OF going to be put
off because warike watching instead of watchful waiting has been the
rule OF European diplomacy and has brought Europe into the most
awful var the world has We seen.
There is no reason why it should be put off. OF the thirty-seven
nations that had agreed to participate only three are engaged in war.
Any possible loss OF exhibits because of the war will be moret than male

They want to show how the metropolis has risen from earthquake and

more reason why the attendance from the Americas should be the
greater.
San Francisco, the city where it is always spring, is an ideal place
for a summer vacation. And since Europe will probably be unavodaby

THE G FOR FOOD

Various dealers in food, big and little, have declared war upon tine
American people. The aggression of which they are guilty is "a ruth

their enemies. No autocrat eve proceeded with holder assumption. No
At a moment when the people in Congress are making extraordinary
efforts to provide al outlet across the seas for the surplus food of this
country the owners OF and gamblers in that food are kitng prices. If
the government should do nothing ITO relieve the situation as to exports,
food is o abundant that it would soon be rotting in our warehouses
and much Of it would never come to market at all.
This is the state of affairs which, with war in Europe, has led the
guttons of the granaries and groceries o anticipate famine, to monopo-
lie plenty, and with no excuse better than a speculative theory a to

where all is war it introduces privation in America, where all is peace.
1t is continental. 1t is also local.
Nothing of this kind comes about by accident. The men who are
cornering food in the United States operate with the precision OF a We
trained army. They act in concert They have a plan of campaign.
They have their captains of tens and their captains of thousands. From
highest to lowest the one controlling motive is greed. They do not ad-

ton that they are depending upon to make them rich.
In the presence OF a conspiracy o monstrous every prosecuting
officer in the country, federal, state, county and city, is bound no less
by decent manhood than by his oath Of office to assal this piracy. The

law but an untrue and unnatural law that is low in force. Privation
has been manufactured to order, not as a result of the demands OF the

its eyes upon foreigners, has already undertaken to srangle Americans.
