of the most glaring evils of the cham

ever, the annual price-fxing by the
big speculative grain interests con-
stitute the greatest menace to the

basis OF prices in Chicago and Liver
pool, after deducting every possible

Resolutions
Hon. John e. Kelley of Pierre,
presented and caused to be read the
following resolutions, referring to
railroads, which were adopted. with
out dissenting voice:
Whereas, The well-being of the
people of this country depends in .
transcendent degree upon the cheap
ness. efficiency and honest manage
ment of the railway service of the
United States; And Whereas,
Under the present corporate man.
agement, ownership and control Of
our great transportation systems.
dishonesty, chicanery and every
species of double dealing known to
the realm of black arts have been
persistently employed and tenacious
ly adhered to; and whereas,
The peace and dignity and COM
mercial ascendency of the people OF
this country demand more honest,
efficient, stable and progressive ad-
ministration of the railroads Of the
United States, than is possible to
obtain under corporate management,
ownership and control,
Therefore, BE it Resolved by the
farmers of the agricultural North
west, in national Convention assem-
bled in the city of st. Paul, this 7th
day OF December, 1916 That we most
earnestly urge the immediate taking
over Of the railroads of this country
by the government Of the United
States, that the same may be operat-
ed in the interest of all of the people
and not for the benefit of "a few
through special privileges conferred
by law.

SUBMARINE SITUAA
TION is SERIOUS

Washington, Dec. s.-Great Britain
has been asked by the state depart
ment for information Of the status of
the 7. and O. liner Arabia sunk by a
German submarine without warning.
Germany, in a note yesterday, cited
circumstances which she contends
justified the submarine commander
in taking the Arabia for an armed
transport.
The state departments information
TO date is that the ship was a pas
senger carrying liner, not subject to
attack without warning
The next steps in the situation, ad-
mittediy the most serious since the
Sussex case, will not be taken until
ali the information has been gather
ed.

CORNERS ON FOOD sTUFFs

The man who corners any foodstuff
with the deliberate intention of fore
ing prices to IAN exorbitant figure that
he may take bloody profit is one Of
the most despicable creatures on
earth. There is no adjective strong
enough to adequately condemn him,
no beastto whom he can be compared
without doing the animal an injustice.
Taking toll of the misfortunes of an
other is the meanest way ever devils
ed for attaining wealth.
No man will deny To another q
legitimate profit on the grain he
grows, or brings to market to sell as
a middleman. A laborer is always
worthy of his hire. But when greed
takes opportunity Of necessity. or Of
emergency to demand a profit that is
entirely artificial. created by buying
and holding large quantities for the
purpose of eleyating prices, then
there should be a way of visiting ven-
geance upon the thieving speculator
VINO IS reg ponSlble.
James E Wetz of Chicago, who de-
tinantly and boldly admits he has cor
nered 1900, 900 eggs and intends to
hold them until the price goes to
seventy cents dozen is such an. Of
fender. He has stored away these
millions Of eggs more than he can
personally use for the sole purpose OF
wringing dirty profit from the needs
of his fellow men. He makes no sec
ref of this intention, indeed seems to
wallow in his ignominy.
Congress has many Important mat
ters for consideration at this short
session, but there are none more i'm v
portant than legislation which will
reach such despicable wretches as
Wetz and his ilk. Affairs have reach
ed such pass that not even pr0cras-
tinating congress can afford to PAL
ter but must take some steps that will
relieve the present situation and
make it impossible to produce an.
other Of it's kind.
There are other foodstutfa being
held in cold storage and; In elevators,
elsewhere than Chicago. All these
spectators must be reached, ana if
lit.is possible to reach them ii such :.
sudden and drastic manner that they
win all 90 broke II VIII give much,

A NEW BRYAN BOOM

Washington Star, q: A recent an
ncuncement made in@sAeW York by
Mr. Bryan about his aaas activities
was, it seems, misconstEued. He has
not put all of his eggsainto one bas.
kst He is strong for prohibition
but strong also for othergthings. He
enumerated them last might at the
dinner eaten in his honor. He has
his eyes on, and is still opposed to-
militar1sm. He wants women to have
the vote. He entertains some very
positive views about railroad regufa.
tion and legislation. BE considers
the electoral college clumsy" and
wants some provision made for a
direct expression of the people in the
election of president And he sug-
gests easier means for amending the
Constitution.
But greater than any of all of these
is the issue of prohibition, as Mr..
Bryan reads the times, and he ex-
poets it to provoke "the fiercest con-
test." He will not be disappointed.
Driving John Barleycorn ont of
American politics is large order; !;
and tae time he allows for it--four
years--wil prove too short. Still,
he has set himself the task, and has
begun operations with the best wishes
OF great many people.
This visit of Mr.. Bryan to Wash
ington has been veritabie personal
triumph. He divided honors with the
President in the chamber of the
House Tuesday. He was the Presi-
dents guest at luncheon yesterday.
At last nights dinner the President
in a letter paid tribute 10 Mr.. Bryan g
part in the recent campaign. 1t was
read to q large and distinguished
company of democratic oflice-holders
and politicians. Seated at the table
were both Bryanites and Wilsonites,
hobnobbing in admiration of the
man who has his lance in rest against
the saloon. In all his twenty one
yesrs of national life, Mr.. Bryan can
recall no occasion, numerous as such
occasions have been, OF a heartier
character than that of last night in
testimony of his influence as a public
force.
Will the politicians associate this
demonstration with 1920? Has it any
bearing on that important year? Mr..
Bryan is still young man. He has
taken no resolution against standing
for another presidential nomination.
There are Bryan men galore who
think he will ultimately reach the
White House, and are at his service
at al times. He and they think that
New York has been permanently
eliminated from the national demo-
cratic equation, and that in the fu-
ture the west and the south, where he
| has already found his strength, will
dominate the democratic party. A
new Bryan boom may have been re-
leased; and, if SO, its progress Will
be watched with much interest by
both democrats and republicans.

JOHNSON AND THE PRESIDENCY

my thanks for your very kind ex-
pressions and your suggestion of my
candidacy for our highest office. |

The more the railroad companies
increase their pile by graft the more
they have upon which they claim the

from the people. And the more in

ENERGY is THE ELEMENT THAT
GIVES LIFE TO THE BODY
What Is The Element In The Living
Absent In The Dead?

There is no secret in The frame
work of the human body held together
by sinews, fibers, ligaments and mus
cles nor the system of organs located
within the framework, or in the sew
eral duties they perform. But the
energy, the something that gives them
life, the something that has been
taken away-what is that?
The answer it's Nerves. 1t is an in
definable form of energy which is
generated i'll the cells of the brain and
the spinal cord and sent out through
the ystem to give power to the or
gans as electricity is sent out through
the wires to supply light, power and
heat.
With plenty of nerve force there is
life and health; with little nerve force
the body is weak and sick, and without
it there is no life at all.
When the nerve centers are weak
the different organs of the body can
not perform their proper functions.
