FOOD EMBARGO! WHY?
BY JOB HARTMAN.

Embargo on wheat? Would not this
interfere with the rights of personal
property? Would it not infringe upon
the freedom of contract, and the pur-
suit of happiness?
The farmer sold his wheat at thresh-
ing time for $1.25 per hundredweight.
Now the same wheat is selling for So. so.
How happy is he who buys for $1.25
and sells for $3.50? Who shall say no?
Upon the profits of one good deal he
may live for life time. Is not the pur-
suit of happiness guaranteed by the con-
stitution as fundamental right?
Then, too, the soldiers in the trenches
would not be able to fight were they
not fed. And as for the starving people
in the United States might not that be
worse if our exporting business were
cut off
OF what use would our ships of COM
merce be in case of an embargo? And
what would become OF our markets !?
Let them go to other nations? What
nonsense For what could our navy be
used if not to protect our foreign mar
kets? We must not forget that we have
just appropriated S635,OOO,OOO and this
would all be lost
We must not keep our wheat at home
This would not be business. If we do
not feed our sister countries while they
slaughter each other, they would never
forgive us We must remember that
there are courtesies of state.
Those in charge of governmental al
fairs cannot be in the trenches They
are the guardians OF the public interests.
If they were slain how would the ma
chinery of government be manned; and
who would preserve the great fortunes !;
and who would conduct the commercial
affairs OF the country; and who would be
able to decide when the millions of citi-
zens should be sent to die in the trenches
for their country?
Those who urge embargo surely do
not understand the blessing that war al
ways brings; the prosperity that always
follows in its trail; and the tremendous
fighting qualities it develops. True, a
certain brutality develops, but this al
ways follows and accompanies all our
business transactions, even in times of
peace. We cannot be too chary of our
conscience in business, Were humanity
to adopt this course, no fortunes would
accumulate, culture would disappear
humanity would be reduced to a common
level and there would be no class wise
enough to guide and care for the mil
| lions of helpless creatures who are al
ways present in times of peace and whose
numbers are multiplied by every war.

FIGHT FOR "DRY" CAPITAL.
Sheppard Bill For Washington To
BE Presscd--If Passed Without the
Referendum Clause the President
Will Veto 1t.

The movement to foist prohibition up
on the people of the District of Column
bia was renewed in Congress when the
Senate took up for time the Sheppard
prohibition bill. Adjournment of the
Senate in Difference to Congressman
Tribblc, of Georgia. who died recently,
prevented the measure from becoming
unfinished business, but Senator Shep-
pard announced he would press it at
every opportunity. Senator Underwood,
of Alabama, announced that he would
press an amendment for referendum
on the issue to the people of the District
of Columbia. The opinion is widespread
that supporters of the measure will Sue
ceed in having it made unfinished bust
ness next week, and that its passage by
,thc Senate is imminent
The bill would prohibit the manufac-
ture and sale Of Intoxicating beverage in
the District of Columbia without regard
to the wishes of the people of the Dis
trict The chief obstacle in the way of
the passage of the measure lies in the
fact that it does not provide any means
of asccrtaining the attitude of the people
to be affected by it. Opposition to the
measure will center behind a proposal
to have the Sheppard bill submitted to Il
referendum and it is likely that the ref
erendum proposal will receive support
from some men who are not opposed to
the principle of prohibition.
1t has bee asserted that President Will
son will veto the measure if it comes to
him without referendum provision,
The President is committed to the idea
that liquor legislation should be gauged
by the sentiment of the people in the
localities to be affected, and it would be
entirely consistent with his stated posi-
ton were he to exercise the veto to pro-
tect the people of the national capital
from the operation of measure which
might violate the wishes Of a majority
1t is generally believed that the peo-
pie Of the District would reject the
Sheppard measure if it were referred to
them.
The fight will attract nationwide at
tention, as it is the opening gun of the
prohibitionist campaign before Congress:
The fight against the measure will be led
bv Senator Underwood, of Alabama, and
Senator James, of Kentucky, who is one
Of the Presidents greatest friends in the
Senate. Senator Underwood, the author
Of the referendum proposal, will have
the support of Senators Hughes, of New
Jersey: Williams of Mississippi, and a
sufficient number of members to make
the fight close.

WARNS WOMEN BOYCOTTERS.

Chicago.-The Union Leader, official
magazine Of the local Street Car Mems
unions, raises this warning cry to wom-
en- who favor boycotting high priced
eggs;
Can it be possible that our women
buyers will escape the strong arm of the
law in applying the boycott? Is there
no dear old friendly Judge to intervene
in behalf of the food hoarders, whose
business Of eXtorting unreasonable
prices from consumers is likely to be
'irreparably injured by reason of the
boycott?
"Havc we no member OF the judiciary
that will issue a restraining order and
Jail our good women boycotterS for con-
spiracy or contempt?

ploiters that Justice Wright has been
backed into obscurity, and that Judge
Freeman has responded to the Great Re
call.

Number of Old Officers Reelected.

The Queen City of the West Division
No. 627 of the Amalgamated Association
of Street and Electric Railway Employees
held their election on December 21st and
elected the following officers for 1917:
President, Albert +. Jones; vice-presi-
dent, Harry Beard; treasurer. Dan Muir
nahan; recording secretary, r. S. Barnes :;
iina cial secretary, A. L. Sprading; cor

The reelection of Secretary Sprad
ling shows that he has made good in
that very trying position OF secretary,
and judging from the returns it will be
a long time before Spradling has any
serious opposition.
President Albert +. Jones has held
that Office for years and only lost out
one term, which was last year and now
that Jones is back in harness, it begins
to look like old times.

ROCKS FOR "CAN'T STRIKE"
LAW.

Waslington.-Th proposed cant
strike law will experience rocky road
in congress, according to the Washing
ton Post, which also doubts the consti-
tutionality of such law. The editor is
not reconciled, however, to the Clayton
law, which he takes occasion to jab
at is hardly to be expected that the
presidents plan for railroad legislation
will pass congress without full debate
and strenuous opposition" says the Post
"The principle Of voluntary service is
involved in this question, and fresh
ground must be broken in the United
States before strikes can be declared un-
lawful There are no precedents to fol-
low. 1t would seem that congress would
be assuming very inconsistent attitude,
after dealing with labor organizations
as special class in certain cases, if it
should now subject these organizations
to restraint against concerted action
which hitherto has been sanctioned by
law.
what penalty is to be provided
against striking by railroad labor organ
izations? If a strike is made unlawful
it becomes crime, and a sufficiently
severe penalty must be provided to deter
commission of the crime. Will the pub
lie approve q law that takes away from
men in America the right to quit work
in body and Furnishes them if they
do so"
