A conservative member named
Trygges. in an Interpolation IN the
Swedish riksdag. directed to Minister
Of the Interior SydOw, again brought
Hjalmar Branting. the socialist leader
into action. Trygges asked what would
be the governments policy in case of
future vote for reform demonstration.
Sydow replied that the government
would firmly, calmly and self-cOntr0i-
ledly try to protect the people against
any kind Of new disturbances. Where
upon Trygges seemed satisfied and
said I'VE have ourselves seen how
the authorities in Stockholm have done
their duty. in an especially commend
able way" referring to the police ac-
ton In a riot. This caused Branting
to comment: Beware that you have
not cause to remember with sorrow
those words in a specially commend
able way If such principles are to
be pursued we shall soon see Sweden
in the position that Philip Scheide-
mans memorable words defined when
he said In the German reichstag. II

The railway department made ar
engagements for renting peat bogs from
farmers in Almunryd parish. Blekinge.
The next step was to drain the land,
after which force of men were put
to work preparing the peat for fuel.
Two bogs in Urshult parish have been
rented by the government for n SINH
lar purpose. In view of the high price
Of coal, on account of the war, peat
will no doubt be used in larger quanti-
ties during the coming year.

the beginning of this century the
amount was only about 50.

Not since the flood itself has human
ity faced the woe that hangs like a
pail over the earth today. The moth
ers of all nations are asking. with
streaming eyes and breaking hearts,
as they send their sons into the weller

SO must the mother of him who died on
the cross have questioned, in the Bit
terness of her soul, as she looked up
ward past the dying Christ, to the
darkening skies of Calvary. And as
Mary knew, even in her suffering, that
back of that darkness shone the great
est light humanity has ever known. so
the mothers of today know that back
of their supreme sacrifice shines the
glory and JOY of world-freedom.

Sam Is trying TO strike hard at des-

There are other government organi-
cations whose anti-American labors

The out-and-Out anarchist is the least
of the evils. The Goldman group rep

eminent most concern.
In all parts of the country these

quainted with the individual charac-

they are Of their members-prominen

quarters in Washington all appear TO
be doing their best for Germany and
their worst for Uncle Sam all these
are known, all their dolngs noted, and
yet the means 10 punish is not avail
able.
Some Examples May BE Made.
II seems 10 be necessary for the gov

NORWAY.

Professor Kristian Blrkeland Is dead.
He was the greatest authority Ia Nor
way on physical geography and was
best known for his inventions on nj
trogen. He had been successful in the
commercial manufacture of calcium nj
trate, which is being worked on a
large scale at N0todden. He was the
leader of Norwegian Aurora POlarfs
expedition In 1g02-03, when he OBJ
served and named the polar elemen-
tary" storm, caused by electromagnetic
disturbances. The life of this man
was cut short at the comparatively
early age Of fifty. He was looked upon
by the whole world as one Of the fore
most authorities on electroma gnetlsm
and chemistry. Hls work turned out
70 be Of great practical value. but the
broodings of the philosopher were not
driven out of him by the din and buzz
Of the stupendous manufact curing
plants among the mountains of south
ern Telemarken. In 1913 he gave a
lecture, In which he drew the outlines
Of new theory Of the world. and II

Food Bill Badly Named.


There are friends of the administra-
ton IN Washington and among them a
good many members Of congress who
hold that the food control bill. to which
there is considerable opposition in con
gress, IS badly named measure Ac-
cording 70 the critics Il should have
been called a regulation bill
Notwithstanding the opposition to
the food measure. as Ii munifests itself
in congress, II is a safe prophecy that
Il will pass. because there has been a
sufficient sounding out Of the views Of
members to make il appear that sue
cess for 1t h assured. Ii can be put
down as fact also that all the other
war measures which are now before
congress including the one for an ap-
preparation Of 5000, 900 for an intensive
and extensive Hir service, also will be
sanctioned by the two houses.
Concerning the matter of the food
regulation bill. or TO give 1t what its
friends call the objectionable name NJ
food control bill. II can be said that
from letters which members Of con
gress receive from their constituents
/ It Is apparent that hundreds Of thou
sands of people seem to have a fund

is intended to do under the provisions

1t is curious thing, perhaps, but
( the impression OF the ma jofity of the
protesting letter writer's seems TO be

I wheat, potatoes, corn, and other ueceS-
sartes Of life, up 10 the top notch and
/ 70 make the people pay twice as much

have been In the habit of paying in the
past. In other words, there seems TO

profits out of the necessities OF the
people. The trouble is that Mr.. Will
sons explanation probably never will
be able to overcome the harm that has
been done by giving presumably good
bill a certainly bad name.
The administration today is CON
cerued over half a dozen different
things, but the food bill is perhaps the
| least of its concerns, becaSse in the
White House, as elsewhere In Wash

vlction that the food legislation is Ia

Her sense of justice was as great
