millions of victims of high and con-
stantly soaring prices have not fully
decided whether or not the compare
lively small number who are piling up
fortunes by feeding fighting Europe
at the same time they are providing
tremendous equipment of arms and
munitions to prolong the fighting, are
rocking the boat" These millions of
Americans who are paying dearly, in
every article of food and clothing.
every necessity, comfort and luxury
for the prosperity the country Is en-
joying" as a result of the war-how
long will these millions who are buy
ing $40 -four, permit the few who are
fattening on profits, to rock the boat?
The strain on the masses is increas-
ing daily. The bitterness increases as
home providers dwell upon the SWELL
ing cry that 1--WE have no war but we
are suffering war prices" That strain
and that bitterness could be touched
into a national. well nigh irresistible
confiagration by a leader.
We hear that countless messages are
urging the administration to put an
embargo on -four and other food sup
plies. We hear. also that Candidate
Hughes and other Republican leaders
are being urged to demand such en-
barge. But in this hour everything is
abnormal-the hour of a national cleo
ton. Would the President dare? Does
the fortunes of the few for the benefit
of the many? Would the Republican
candidate favor denial of the demand
of warning Europe for the benefit of
American consumers? Would he not
think the cost greater than the saw
ing?
These are some of the questions that
the paying masses are asking. But
have they asked why millions of BUSH
els of food grains are turned into
liquid damnation to millions of souls
for the benefit of the few makers and
sellers who reap fortunes out of the
thirsts and idiocies of their fell6wmen
Has anyone demanded an embargo on
grains going into breweries and dis
tilleries?
Why should we pay extortionate
prices for foodstuffs because misled in
as they have been told by the unscrup-
ulous makers?
While we are considering the outside
of the cup let us consider the inside
also.

Rocking the Boat.

When the boat casts loose with the
survivors Of the sunken ship, the load
usually is heavy. Also, it is precious.
A careless passenger stands up and
rocks the boat. In spite Of warning he
is stubborn. One Of his companions
unships an oar and cracks the FOOLS
skull. If he goes overheard, he muss
drown. Had he insisted on taking, OF
the scanty supply Of food, more than his
portion, the common welfare would
have demanded that he do without
food altogether or that his comrades
would do without him, strong meas
ures are necessary when capacity for
evil is great. The disturber Of the
peace is killed or subdued because the
need is great, the boat small, and his
action anti social. On an island his
fellows would run him away. The
larger the country, the less severe the
measures; for the easier and more Sc
cure is the necessary degree Of segrega-
tion which can be obtained. Further.
more, the death penalty by drowning at
sea can give way to more humane
methods on land. A crazy man in the
boat is as dangerous as the wilful one;
but in a civilized nation the milder
punishment Of imprisonment may be
inflicted, and science may then find a
way to cure him or render his life
more comfortable. Separations or Sc
gregations Of evil elements, therefore,
may work to modify old laws. Re-
formatories and hospitals thus may be
the solution Of the problem Of capital
punishment.
The United States is in a small boat
with cargo and lives aboard. One man,
or dozen or class Of men, may give
vent to their passions and attempt to
work out their will in the crisis; but,
MiIfuI, foolish or crazy, they take such
action at their peril. All must hold to.

boat.-Author Not Known.
Just now the masses are uneasily
watching the few who are reaping rich
returns from furnishing the means of
prolonging the war in Europe. The

Baker Trying to Explain.

Secretary Baker is now busy trying
to explain his insult to the soldiers of
the American Revolution. He cannot
deny it because a stenographic report
of his remarks was read to him by a
newspaper reporter when he had fin
ished his speech and he acknowledged
it's accuracy. Mr.. Bakers explanation
takes the form OF an avowal of loyalty
to George Washington and a declara-
ton that he never said anything which
could reflect on 1.-The Father of his
Country'--which. of course, no one has
ever charged. But intense. if mis-
guided. loyalty to President Wilson
leads Mr.. Baker to say. even now:
"Plcase remember that when You are
discussing Mexico the history of the
American Revolution supports the
Mexican policy Of President Wilson"
Mr.. Bakers friends excuse his words
by claiming that he became ratified.

in his earnest endeavor to support his
chief and that he did not for the mo-
ment realize how his declaration would
sound or would be received by the
country But rising up to confront
him and his defenders is his attitude in
the past-an attitude of contempt for
veterans, notably those of the Civil
War
AS Mayor of Cleveland in 1913, Sec
rotary Baker exerted his potent infiu-
ence to prevent inclusion in Cleveland's
new city charter of a provision, pro-
posed by Major Charles r. Miller and
embodied in a resolution presented by
H. Stillwell. providing that in select
ing municipal employees "other things
being equal, veterans of the Civil and
Spanish American wars be preferred"
Explaining his opposition to preference
being given to the veterans, even when
all other things were equal, Mayor
Baker said: THE man who volunteers
for war is no more heroic and deserves
no more of his country than the scien-
fist, telephone lineman, inventor or
nurse who stays behind
Mr.. Bakers peculiar unfitness to be
secretary of war was we'll known to the
President when he chose the Cleve-
lander for that high Office, but Mr.. Will
son was persuaded that the appoint
ment would help him to carry Ohio
against Hughes and that was sufficient
to outweigh all other considerations.
Bakers father was a captain in the
Confederate army-and the son of his
father likens the heroes of the Ameri-
can Revolution to the thieving. brutal
bandits who follow Villa, Carranza or
any other cuthroat who may for a
period control their brainless, useless
lives of lust and crime.

A Boomerang for Mccormick.

A frantic and desperate effort to Gre
ate the false impression that Gov.
Hughes was catering to the German
vote: that he had made promises to
William r. Mcdonald, of the American
Independence Conference, together
with the publication of letter alleged
to have been sent to some priest by
Mcdonald, all of which the Democratic
National chairman assidulously
charged and circulated, has resulted in
an absolute boomerang for Chairman
Mccormick. William r. Macdonald
has telegraphed Chairman Wilcox, not
only denying McCormck's charges but
charging that Gov. Glynn of New York
made frantic efforts to enlist for Mr..
Wilson the support of Mr.. MacDonald's
and Mr. O'Leary's organizations; that
Mccormick himself persistently tried
to get in touch with O'Leary by long
distance phone; that Glynn assured
OLeary and Macdonald that President
Wilson would make some great con-
cession to win back the German and
Irish votes. and that if they would re-
frain from supporting Hughes they
could count on some severe slap at
England and her allies by President
Wilson-all Of which Macdonald offers
to prove by long distance telephone
records. documents. etc.
So much Of boomerang has this line
Of attack on Gov. Hughes proved, and
so general is the criticism of the DEM
ocratic chairman for trying to drag
racial and religious prejudices into the
Presidential campaign, that it is ex-
pected further efforts that line will be
abandoned.
