HYSTERIA OF THE MOB

The Intelligencer is inclined 10 be-
liave that there has been 100 much
publicity of the food situation in the
country and 100 little attention paid
10 basic facts. There may ME grleF-
GUS privations in some instances out
no such widespread privation as TO
provoke riots.
In New Gork there appears to nave
been no justification for The sudden
clamor that arose over night. The
Health Department Of that city mas
Officially declared: There does not
appear 10 be any sudden or recently
developed emergency in The food sit
uation in this city" There can be no
question that the purchasing power
OF the dollar has been seriously cut
by the extraordinary level food prices
have attained, but raidng groceries,
wrecking stores and destroying food
articles is not calculated TO help mat

LOOKING TO THE ORIENT

1t has constantly been urged on
American business interests that in
the Far East lies tho great opportun.
ily for the expansion of our foreign
trade. \ definite expression Of the
conviction that has taken hold OF the
leaders in American business is given
in the new plan of the American

Tha new magaZine which is illus

probation OF the life and spirit Of
China. Japan and the other great
Oriental countries. in terms Of their
industrial progress. 1t is believed
that American opportunity can best be
presented in this way. The growing
complication of the political relations
of the powers in the Far East, par
iicularly those developing out Of the
problem Of Japan and China. with
which this country must be concerned.
has made it essential in the opinion
OF these leaders in American business.

NOT THE OVERT ACT

While the torpedoing Of the Cunard
liner Laconia. with Americans on
board was an impressive exhibition
of "ruthlessness" it did not come
within the war alternative prescribed
by the overt act. The Americans who
took passage on the British steamer
knew the risks they were taking, and
if they had lost their lives under the
circumstances it would have been a
Calamity of their own making without
redress by the United States.

WHY DEMOCRATS JUBILATE

The administration leaders are re-
ported to be in a jubilant frame OF
mind over the breaking Of the Repuo-
lican ilibuster in the Senate over the
revenue bill, and now believe that
nothing can prevent its passage to-
morrow, when, by agreement, a vote
will be- taken on it. 1t is hardly
necessary to point out that the coun-
ry will not share in this Democratic
iabilation- And there are very good
reasons why it will not. Never has
there been such an encroachment OF
federal taxation upon the field which
the States occupied. That means
double taxation, or else the States
will have to reInQuish certain taxes
Aand find other objects to assess which
rill be more burdensome than ever
bn the general taxpayer.
The present revenue measure which
he Democrats will undoubtedly force
through tomorrow inlicts the most
= Unjust and oppressive taxation ever
imposed on the American people. 1t
Is direct taxation with a vengeance.
Inheritauces, which have been
source of revenue to the States, are
now seized upon by. the general gov
eminent. Real property, upon which
communities have depended for their
chief revenue, is now to be subjected
TO a. Federal burden under the name
of an excess profits tax. Incomes, upon
which some States have relied for 4

ARMED NEUTRALITY"

The request which President Wilson
made OF Congress yesterday caused
no surprise because it has~ been fore
Swallowed for some days Past. Con
SreSS is asked to establish 4 state OF
tarmed neutrality" for the protection
OF American lives and ships on the
high seas. This action Of the PreSi-
dent was not absolutely necessary, as
power IS vested in him 70 take the
steps he contemplates without con-
Sulting Congress. 1t was more in the
nature Of move 10 get I vote of con
tidenCe from Congress. This was in
Dictated by his own words. that while
admitting he had full power 10 take
what steps were necessary IN the
strained relations that exist, he de-
sired Congress by its own vote TO
demonstrate to the world that it is
behind him in whatever he may decide
is necessary. 49,
Even this procedure does not mean
war. 1t Is only enforcing our rights at
sea. But there can be no doubt that
ARMED neutrality" is fiction that is
liable to be exploded at any time by
tho covert act" which will provoke
the open declaration of hostiliues.
And the question is, will the arming
OF our merchant ships lessen or in
crease the dangers Of actual warfare.
But what else is there to do, when our
ports are in state OF practical
blockade?

learned i, that they VIII have 10 pur-

1917 general assembly. This law
provides that eli text book. to be

shall be selected and adopted by a
commission composed Of the governor
as ex-ofieio chairman, the state ST.
perintendent Of public instruction and
seven members appointed by the gov

The Log Cabin Democrat does not
anticipate that the uniform text book
law VIII be observed with any degree
Of enthusiasm by the father q
large brood Of children whom ne is
trying TO educate IN the schools
But if properly and honestly admin
istered. the law may prove 70 be 3
good measure in preventing frequent
changes Of text books and z diversity
of their selection in the various dis
tricts. The popularity Of the new
law IS not likely 10 be heightened by
the governors selection as the rank
ing member Of the commission, z for
mer state superintendent who so far
as the public knows, has never beer
exonerated from some rather grave
charges preferred against him by al
investigating committee Of the 1915
legislature
There is also rather peculiar leg
lslatlve circumstance connected with
the new text book act. The original
bill, known as the Bland-Creekmor
bill, was approved by the governor on
February 20, and in his weekly
encomium Of the work of the legisla-
ture published on the following Sun
day the governor had considerable TO
say about provision Of the act
which occurred in Section q and
which reads as follows;
Provided, that the commission
shall not enter into contract for
any text book at a greater sum
than fifteen per cent less than
the same book is now being sold
for at retail in the state of Ar
kansas
On February p, the governor ap-
proved an act to amend the text book
act which had been a law only one
week, and We do not recall reading
anything the governor had to say
about this anendatory act. The lat
ter starts out by saying that Section
- of the text book act shall be
amended so as TO read as follows" and
at first glance it seems to read just
the same as it did in the original act
Closer inspection, however, brings to
light the fact that these words which
appear in Section Is of the original
act are left out of the amended
section:
Provided, that the commission
shall not enter into a contract for
any text book at greater sum
than fifteen per cent less than
the same book is now being sold
for at retail in the state of Ar
kansas.
When stock laws, tick eradication
and township assessments cease 20 be
topics of interest and excitement, Log
Cabin Democrat readers will doubt
less be able to derive some material
for thought and discussion in the new
