Let us have fair primary, free from outside interference and if Geo. A. Olney has one majority when the votes are counted he will be our candidate. If on the other hand a majority decide in favor of Governor Hunt then he is entitled to the full party vote on election day. Those who will not be governed by the will of the majority when fairly expressed are not real de- mocrats. They are simply sta tutory politicians of the hybrid variety. unworthy of the confid- ence of honest men.-M MesSenger.

Washington.-Maj ajor-Gen. Hugh l..

note OF the army's prospective fight
for universal military training and
compulsory service.

Baker does not indorse It, Army Off.
GERS count on public opinion to assist
them after il is shown that the pres
ent system OF federalized militia has
proved complete failure.
Basing his conclusions on the show
ing OF the federalized National Guard
when nobilized for border duty, and
the fact that strenuous recruiting cam
paigns for both the regulars and
guardsmen have produced negligible
results, Gen. Scott says:
"In my judgment the country will
never be prepared for defense until
we do as other great nations do that
have large interests to guard, like
Germany, Japan and France, where
everybody is ready and does perform
military service in time Of peace as
he would pay every other tax, and is
willing to make sacrifices for the pro.
lection he gets and the countr. gets
in return. There is no reason why
one woman's son should go out and
defend or be trained to defend an
TO take training or give service. The
only democratic method is for every
man in his youth to become trained
in order that he may render efficient
service If called upon in war"

Federal investigation Into Cost Of

Washington. Federal investi.

taken definite form with indications
that it would be one OF the most com.
prehensive ever undertaken and would
extend to every section of the United

cost of foodstuffs contemplated, bu.
the recent pinch in the coal supply
and its resultant price advances also
will be made. in all probability, the
subject of broad investigation.
From President Wilson down Off
cials have begun to cope In earnest
with the problems presented by ths
situation. The President took under
consideration preliminary reports

he may make to Congress.
A dozen speeches on the subject
were made in the House and several
resolutions proposing inquiries were
introduced.

WILSON FOR QUICK
FOOD INQUIRY
President C6nfers With Federal
Prosecutor and Asks tor
Figures Collected
CAUSES OF HIGH PRICES
Approved the Plan Of Extensive Grand
Jury Investigations Into Reasons
for High Cost Of Living as
Presented TO Him.

Washington. General approval OF
the investigation being conducted by
the Department OF Justice into the in
creased cost OF living was given by
President Wilson at a conference with
District Attorney Anderson OF Boston,
in charge or the inquiry. The Presi
dent will continue the examination OF
facts collected by various depart
ments before deciding whether any
remedial legislation shall be recon.
mended TO Congress.
II was said by officials connected
with the investigation that their chief
hope for the ultimate lowering OF the
cost OF living lies in simplifying the
means Of transportation OF foodstuffs,
the practice OF economy by the public,
increase in production by farmers and
through other such methods rather
than by prosecutions in the courts.
Indications are, however. that the
program for immediate action already
outlined will be followed with little
modification. This includes general
investigation OF the activities OF al
legged coal and food spectators and
closer inquiry into the relation be
tween the high cost OF living and the
shortage OF freight cars.
Department OF Justice officials let II
be known that their work would be
continued with a greater degree OF Sc
crecy than heretofore, and that no dis
closures concerning the activities OF
any group of men under surveillance
would be forthcoming until after sub
mission to a Grand Jury.
In the meantime. it was suggested
that the public could cooperate In low
ering prices OF specific foodstuffs by
purchasing as little as possible and
by buying substitutes.
Chicago.-Three separate investiga
tions into the cost OF foodstuffs are
under way here. The executive com
mittee OF the National Retail Grocers
Association met, and one Of the chief
purposes Of the meeting. according to
Frank b. Connolly. OF San Francisco
vicepresident OF the Association. is
to find means for disciplining food
spectators.

FOOD EMBARGO BY a RAILWAYS
Pennsylvania, New York Central, Erie
and Wabash Stop Shipments.


New York.-Four big railroads. the
Pennsylvania, the New York Central
the Erie and the Wabash, placed EN-
bargoes in force on shipments OF food
stuffs from the West to the Atlantic
coast.
With few slight exceptions the EN-
bargoes includes every kind OF food
Except perishables and live stock
now in transiD except such as is
shipped i'm cold storage.
The strictest embargoes are on the
Erie and Pennsylvania roads. These
include live stock. shipments from
connecting lines and all kinds of food
except foodstuffs which require cold
storage.
The Eastern limits beyond which the
roads will not carry the stuffs they
have put the embargoes against are
as follows: The Pennsylvania, Pitts
burgh; the Erie, Marion. Ohio; the
Wabash, Detroit. and the New York
Central Buffalo.
The purpose OF the embargoes is to
clear the tracks and freight termin
ais all along the lines. Railroad off
cials say Western shippers have been
sending goods for shipment to Europe
without having arranged for bottoms
to carry the stun across the ocean !;
the result has been that thousands OF
carloads are now waiting to be taken
away from the railroads. Until this
Is done the congestion in terminals
and on tracks and the scarcity OF
freight cars will continue.
