WHEATPROFITEERS
SCORED BY CAPPER
Kansas Governor Says PEG.
pie Should Get Money
Taken From Farmers.

Arthur Capper, governor Of Kansas,
is one state chief executive who does
not believe in standing py idly while
the people are exploited by selfish
gang of profiteers.
THE government must take dras-
tic action" he wrote a committee of
union labor men who protested that
the consumers were not getting any
benefit from the profits taken away
from the wheat farmers, I'VE have
got to make the gougers patriotic and
help from me-"
practically $50,000,o 600 was taken
out of the pockets of the Kansas
farmers in "a hours when the price
Of wheat was reduced" Governor
Capper continued. But the farmers
sacrifice apparently has been in vain.
The millers, the bakers and the re-
tailers have not reduced their prices
accordingly. There can be no defense
of a. system that takes profit away
from the producer and yet fails to
give the consumer the benefit of that
saving"
No one ever had the temerity to
accuse Governor Capper of being dis
loyal or pro-German. Yet he takes the
exact position of the Nation Nonparti-
san league when it says. that the prof
it's taken from the farmer when the
price of wheat was reduced should be
passed on to the consumer and not
pocketed by a set of selfish profiteers.
Yet it is for making these same de-
mands that the Twin City press kept
by the railroads, the milling combines
and big business generally try to
make it appear that the Nati,. lal
Nonpartisan league is unpatriotic and
pro- German. ..

their candidates. Van Lear in Mime
apolis was elected despite the bitter
opposition of all the daily papers and
in st. Paul Van Dyke was elected to
congress in the face of a hard fight
made against him by the Dispatch

It also will be remembered that the
identical newspaper combination
which is supposed to be behind Burn

Wilson in the last national election.
Yet despite the vicious and unfair at
tacks of these papers, the president
almost carried the state despite its
overwhelming normal Republican
majority. It is doubtful then. If their
support alone will insure Burnquist's
reelection.
situation attempts to minimize the
strong opposition to Burnquist among
farming and labor circles, particular
ly in the latter, and it is by no means
certain that the big daily publishers
have picked the right men if their
sole purpose is to head off the Non
partisan league candidate.
Nor is it certain that they can, clear
the track for their favor tie candidates
Mayor Irwin of st. Paul recently an
nounced that like Barkus, che was
willing" and those who fail to take
the genial wholesale growers candi-
dacy seriously may have another
guess coming. Irwin is ambitious and
has plenty of money and nosed out
the St. Paul mayorality field after he
had been considered a long shot and
he may decide he has the same chance
in the gubernatorial handicap.
Is Frankson In the Field?
Lieutenant Governor Frankson
also may be an entrant. He, too, is
ambitious and has money to partici-
pate in politics on a generous scale.
He was up in the northern part of the
state recently advocating a tonnage
tax and this may mean that he is
feeling out the public pulse.
In fact. Governor Burnquist looks
like pretty easy picking to more than
one political aspirant and it is doubt
full if the metropolitan press can mar
row the race by uniting in his sup
port.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-rhe
population of the city of Washington
has Increased at least $4,000 since the
war began. 1t is natural that the
capital city. the center of govern
mental activities. should show this
marked effect of the most extensive
preparation for war ever undertaken
by any country. A steady stream of
new appointees to the great civilian
army pours into the city; the streets

At the request of the United States

desirable rooms, with or without

ate rates. Application for accommo-

the POOR BOYS CHANCE.

It is poor comfort to an unemployed
man to remind him that the eco
nonic system which deprives him of
a job enables an occasional poor boy
to become a millionaire. So when
an exchange dwells on Henry Ford's
rise from poor boy earning So a
week to a multi-millionaire, it fails
to prove the justice Of existing condi-
tons. An occasional exceptional poor
boy will reach financial prosperity
under any economic system. There is
no need to worry about the future of
embryo Henry Cords. But the aver
age poor boy is not in that class. He
will be in need Of a job all his life.
Should we allow conditions to remain
unchanged whereby men willing to
work can be deprived of an oppor-
tunity to work?
Would not poor boys gain greatly
II chances to become ulti-million-
aires were reduced and chances for
jobs increased? Would not such a
change be better for rich boys as
well?

Although publishers of the Duluth

Although publishers of the Duluth
and Twin City daily papers have not
yet taken their readers into their
confidence, the .rumor will not down
that these publishers-with the ex
ception of those controlling the St.
Paul and Minneapolis Daily News
had a meeting at the fashionable st.
Paul hotel about fortnight ago and
agreed to unitedly back Governor J.
A. A. Burnquist. for reelection.
Gossip has it that the subject mat
ter of the conference was the grave
menace" of the National Nonpartisan
league and that the big daily publish
ers decided there was no hope of car
rying the Republican primaries unless
they agreed upon one candidate. Burn
quist has proved himself "safe and
sane" from the standpoint Of these
men and they probably will adopt the
old rallying cry that it is danger
Gus to change horses while crossing
stream" Moreover, Burnquist Is
looked upon with high favor by the
Steel trust, and the Steel trust, as is
generally known, has it's political sug-
gestions listened to>with great respect
in the inner sanctunl of more than
one St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth
daily newspaper.
Support Has Its Drawbacks.
Politician novitiates might natur-
ally think that the almost united sup
port of the metropolitan press would
give any candidate a "walk-over" in
the Republican primary. But this by
no means follows. Such shrewd
political expert as Frank A. Day of
the Fairmont Sentinel holds quite the
opposite view.
''They say the men behind the six
Twin Cities and Duluth recently met
in secret conClave and significd SOL
emn compact pledging their support
to Governor Burnquist for re-elec-
tion," writes Mr.. Day in a recent
tissue. ut is boldly and unblushingly
stated that it was caused by fear of
the election of a Nonpartisan candi-
date. 1t is prett: early to predict
what will happen in state politics, but
if we wanted to be elected governor
of Minnesota we should prefer not to
have the backing of any star-chanber
alliance. Voters don't cotton to that
kind of deals.''
And, regardless of the objections of
the voters to having some candidate
foisted upon them by these big city
dailies. most of these papers are op-
posed by strong elements within their
own districts. For instance. union

COOPERATION
OF THE PUBLIC
Required to Secure the
Benefits of Food admin.
istrati0n System.

The food administration at WASH
ington has now perfected its organiza-
ton for the control of commodities
while they pass through the hands of
large manufacturers and merchants.
A comprehensive licensing system
PRACTICALLY eliminates speculation,
boarding or profiteering on a large
scale. But the farmers and small re-
tail merchants are not regulated
under this licensing SYSTEM and here
is where the cooperation of the pub
lie is required to secure the benefits
of food administration along demo-
cratic lines. Uncle Sam does not pro-
pose to interfere directly with the
daily routine Of the household or
small store, except through co-opera-
ton on democratic lines. Food ad-
ainistration, therefore, calls not only
for food saving by every American,
but for intelligent purchasing of food
supplies from day to day and refrain
ing from boarding. The machinery
for stabilizing, prices on flour, bread,
canned goods, cold storage products,
and other basic necessities Of life, is
now in operation. The retail mer-
chants are expected ITO buy only such
supplies from week to week as will
take care Of their customers, just as
the flour miller and bread baker are
required to limit their production to
what is actually necessary to take
care of the people they serve. To
buy more than one needs is not only
unjust to others, but bad business for
the person who endeavors to gain
something in this way. 1t is largely
excess buying and hearding by house,
wives, moved by fear of scarcity or
higher prices, that has raised prices
in the past, and this evil the food ad-
ministration is trying to overcome.
Therefore, buy only for your own re-
quirements, help keep the flow of food
commodities sane and stable, help
your retail merchants in their efforts
to take care of your needs. and if you
find any disposition in your commun-
lty to get into panic about food ar
ticles or either to charge or pay un-
reasonable prices, understand that
this is contrary to the real purpose Of
food administration and that it is
your duty as citizen to oppose it.
and also that If the aggregate Of such
local fears and overcharges grows
large enough to reach up into the
manufacturing and wholesale trades,
which are under food administration
licenses, this licensing system will
stop it-for that is precisely what it
was designed to do.

A THANKSGIVING MENU,

In planning our dinner for Thanks
giving day, which seems to crown the
family year, let US bear in mind that
even our feast days must be observed
with the economy that has become
our watchword.
An old-fashioned Thanksgiving din
ner should consist of three courses,
roast turkey, with the celery. cram
berry sauce and the vegetables in
cluded in this course, after this may
come the pies, and finally fruit This
menu may be elaborated by adding a
soup, a-salad and a simple entree, or
it may be kept in line with puritani-
cal simplicity. The menu given here
may be simplified by emitting some of
the dishes. They are given merely
as suggestions.
Cream OF Celery Soup.
Cut up two heads of celery, then add
the leaves, and stew until pulpy in
just enough water to cover. Add salt
pepper and slice of onion, minced
fine and cook until tender. Half an
hour before serving. heat a. quart of
rich milk, mix with the celery. and
let simmer five minutes. Strain the
celery mixture and thicken slightly
with level tablespoon of flour
blended with the Quantity of melted
butterine. Cook until smooth, and
strain again before sending to the
table.
Pumpkin Pie.
One cup boiled strained pumpkin a
saltspoon salt: 1 teaspoon cinnamon;
I: cup sugar; Il teaspoon ginger; 2
eggs.
The longer pumpkin is cooked, the
sweeter and richer it becomes. If pos
sible; it should be cooked the day be-
fore using. Peel and cut in dice and
put into an iron pot, with just as little
water as will keep the pumpkin from
scorching. Place the pot on the cool
part Of the range. and let it simmer
all day, stirring occasionally until ten
der and the water has been cooked
off. Turn into colander to drain
and cool, pour off the water and
strain through the colander.
Mix we'll. Add two cups of cream
and milk, mix and stir in well. Then
break in the two eggs, with yolks and
whites together. Beat the whole mix
ture vigorously, and pour in deep
pieplate. lined with pastry. and bake.
Cranberries.
Quick cooking and a. very little
water are the secrets of good cram
berry sauce. Cooking too long de-
velops bitter taste. A cup Of water
to quart of berries is a sufficient al
lowance. Bring to boil, keeping the
berries closely covered until they are
broken. Strain through a colander,
add two cups of granulated sugar, and
stir over the fire until the sugar is
melted, and then turn out to cool.
The sauce may be strained into indi-
vidual molds and served on a flat
glass dish.
Corn au Gratin.
One can of corn, chopped fine. Into
a creased baking dish, put a layer of
corn, and dot with butterine, season
