AT the earnest solicitation OF President
Wilson both houses OF Congress have
taken up the measure giving authority TO
the government 10 protect the people
against food conspirators. The President
urges Congress TO pass this bill before the
spectators shall secure control OF the
grain, now ready for the harvest, but
there is a strange and suspicious oppo-
sition TO the programme, and certain
Senators and Representative are delay
ing and obstructing the measure without
good reason.
lfthere is one thing that the great masses
OF the people OF this country want, it is
that these greedy spectators in food and
the necessities OF life shall be prevented
from carrying out the nefarious schemes
that they have planned. IiCongress shall
refuse help 10 the people, patriotism will
get Ia black eye.

Commencement week was the occasion
of many pleasant events-a dinner to the
Board OF Trustees, presided over by
Colonel Trout, with some interesting
speeches; the alumni banquet, where
toasts were responded TO and witty ad-
dresses made and where good fellowship
prevailed most Delightfully."-; oratorical
contests and debates a very interesting
address before the literary societies by
Hon. Leslie c. Shaw, former Secretary Of
Treasury; and the enjoyable exercises OF
commencement Gay proper. The scribe
got away from Salem only with the great
est reluctance. for the renewal OF old
friendships and the making of pleasant
new acquaintance made the three or
four days altogether delightful.

THE real greatness OF the American
heart is shown by the concerted action
this week all over the United States 10
raise the enormous sum OF 100000, 900
for the Red Cross work. II is quite
certain that this amount will be secured
by voluntary gifts from the people, for
. contributions are streaming in from coun-
try, village, town and city, and yesterday
announcement was made that more than
$35,0O0,0OO was given in the first two
days of the campaign.
This is truly noble effort, and the
gseat sum that will be available will be
an untold blessing 10 the sick and wound
ed and suffering soldiers on the worlds
greatest battle 'front.'

We found it an honor to be associated
next morning with the members of the
Board Of Trustees OF Roanoke College in
annual meeting, when the business OF
the institution was considered, its prob
lens discussed and plans for its continued
usefulness matured. The members
present were Hon. Henry S. Trout,
Roanoke. president; Rev. A. D. R.
Hancher, Staunton, vice-president; Rob-
ert w. Kline, Salem, secretary VIM. H.
Ruthrauff, Salem, treasurer; President
Rev. DR.. J.. A. Morehead, Salem; Rev.
L. q. M. Miller, Columbia, S. c.; Hon.
George W. Conner, Richmond; J. E.
Cooper, Winchester; DR.. Geo. A. L.
Kolmer, Salem John H. Fahrenbach,
Buena Vista. Matters of importance were
discussed by the board, particularly the
problems that have arisen in connection
with the great crisis through which our
country is passing. but progressive
policy was determined upon and it was
agreed that especial efforts be made to
maintain the standard and increase the
attendance at the institution. In common
with other schools, Roanoke College
feels the effects of the war in various
ways, and a considerable number OF her
upper classmen have already offered
themselves to the service of their coun-
try. The board. upon the recommends
ton OF the president, decided to provide
for military training in the college under
certain conditions, as is being done in al
most all the colleges throughout the coun-
try.

Wonder who designed the Norfolk &
Western depot in Roanoke ? We could
wish that German dirigible might get
him. When you alight from train, in
stead OF walking out peaceably to the
street level, you are forced up an ap-
palling stairway. When you take train
you must toll up hill so that you may
perilously descend those wretched steps.
If you wish to look after your baggage,
you must 60 down or up or both; if you
want TO see about anything, down you
60 and up you 60. 1t is impossible for
stout man on hot day to approve OF this,
therefore we wish to express our diSap-
probation. The city OF Roanoke having
permitted this unhappy handicap TO en-
trance within its gates, it should at least
compel elevators for the comfort ofwom-
en- and chidren-and stout men.
At Roanoke we left the train, and after
climbing the steps so that we would be
in position TO walk down the hill, we
followed in protesting haste long-legged
friend, and were soon aboard an electric
car which carried us comfortably the
seven miles to Salem, where we were
welcomed by our gracious Virginia hos
tess and made to feel at home right away.

accept the leak" investigation job. Ile
is expected here tomorrow for a confer
ence.
II was minated that Whipple had AZ

the task. Further public hearings III the
inquiry were postponed until Monday IN
order to complete arrangements.
Mr.. Whipple's selection followed a bit
ter fight Of several hours among Demo
Gratis. in which Postmaster General Burle-
son participated. Several Democrats, in
Guiding Chairman Henry, wanted Samuel
Untermyer TO act as counsel. The chief
objection by Democrats and Republicans
to Untermyer was that Lawson had al
ready discussed the case with him. The
Republicans asserted that the Democrats
were attempting 10 select partisan coun-
sci.
Democratic members Of the committee
suggested Wlapple's name. Whipple, who
opposed Republican Senator Weeks OF
Massachusetts, for the senate in the Last
election, was willingly accepted by the
Republicans on Weeks endorsement of his
former opponent.
