Rout the Food aambIers.

Dubuque Times-Journal There's 81
place In Chicago called the grain pitt
Most Americans feel like calling IL
something entirely different. In this
grain pit the price of wheat has BEEN
run up to about three times what the
farmer who raised it got for it. And
the men who have been running up|
the price and cleaning up millions M
cold cash never did tap to help RAISE
that wheat-they never did anything
except gamble in wheat
The average person doesn't Know
how this wheat pit operates. He|
doesn't know what is meant when mel
reads that May or September wheal
closed at SO and SO much In Chicago
yesterday. But he has got a fairy
firm grasp on the main proposition
that gambling Is what turned hs
trick.
Now what place has gambling ih
food got in our national life at tinlo
when we are straining every resoarce|
to stop waste, to conserve our re-,
sources, to make every ounce OF ioou
and energy count its most? AS niss
ter of fact it has big place-out a.
a matter Of justice it ought not WI

It ought to be stopped. The NoFln

But the wheat gambler in the ~,

Presidents Proclamation.
WASHINGTON, July 2.-The draft
system lis one Of equality and fair
ness, President Wilson explained to-
day in proclamation accompanying
exemption and draft regulations is
sued today.
His proclamation said:
The regulations which I am today
causing to be promulgated, pursuant
to the direction Of the selectiye SER
vice law, covers the remaining steps
of the plan for calling into service
Of the United States qualified men
from those who have registered;
those selected as the result of this
process to constitute with the regu-
lar army, the national guard and the
navy, the fighting forces of the ma
ton, all of which forces are under
the terms of the law placed in a posi-
ton of equal right, dignity and re-
sponstbility with the members of all
other military forces.
"Ihe regulations have been drawn
with view to the needs and circum.
stances of the whole country and pro-
vide a system which 1t Is expected
Will work with the least inequality
and personal hardships. Any system
for selecting men for military ser.
vice, whether voluntary or involun.
tary in its operation necessarily
selects some men to bear the burden
or danger and sacrifice for the whole
nation. The system here provided
places all men of military age upon
an even plane and then by selection
allnes the other, calls out the re-
qulslte number for service
The successful operation of this
law and of these regulations depends
necessarily upon loyalty, patriotism
and justice of the members of the
boards to whom it's operation Is com.
m1tted and l admonish every mem
Der of every local board and of each
district board of review that their
duty to their country requires an i'm.
partial and faithful performance of
their difficult duties entrusted to
them. They should remember as to
each individual case presented to
them that they are called upon to
ajudicate the most sacred rights
of the individual and to preserve un.
furnished the honor of the nation.
Our armies at the front will be
strengthened and sustained If they
be composed of men free from any
sense Of injustice in their mode of
selection and they will be inspired
to loftier efforts in behalf of a coun-
try in which the citizens called upon
to perform high public functions per-
form them with justice, fearlessness
and impartiaIity.
(Signed) Woodrow Wilson"
The text of the regulations covers
seventy-eight printed pages. Every
publication in the United States will
receive these printed copies within
the next few days. All are appealed
to to print the official text in full. It
is suggested that if the complete
regulations cannot be printed in one
issue. that they be printed in sue
ceeding issues.

The spot at which the tragedy oc-

There, on its downward course, the
river sweeps around an elbow OF rock
and swirls into many eddies and

feet below the street level at this

Steamboat Disaster.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, July 2.-Police
were still dragging the Milwaukee
river today in the belief that more
bodies went down late Saturday on
the excursion steamer Christopher
Columbus. when fifteen persons were
known to have been killed and thir-
teen injured, as the huge water tank
toppled on the forward decks and
port side.
Many of the bodies of the dead
were so badly mutilated that identi-
