President Wilson says the pat
riotism of the business interests of
the country must be of the same
sort as the patriotism of American
soldiers on the battlefields of France,
or it is not patriotism at all. That
was a splendid sentiment from the
president, but no sane man would
call the American soldier and the
American food speculator patriots
of the same order.
President Wilson made the fur
ther significant statement that
profits and patriotism should not
be mentioned in the same sentence.
The patriotism of the food specula-
tors consists of profits. Their ac-
tions since this country declared
war clearly proves that TACT.
The first and best preparation
for war Would be to securely safe
guard the country against the
wicked operations of food specula-
tors. But they are not going to be
disturbed either by high-sounding
phrases or simple denunciation
from whatever source, and that
seems to be the chief weapon used
against them by those who make
the laws of the land.

THE SPECTATORS
avs the Pine Bluff Graphic:

Food Commissioner Herbert
Hoover tells us that somebody
has pilfered SIS a barrel on every
barrel of flour sold in the last five
months, and during that period two
hundred and fifty millions of dol.
lars of the peoples money has gone
into the pockets of spectators.
Adds the Sheridan Headlight:
Of course. And we have no way
of knowing how many millions
more have been taken from us on
Sugar, shoes, clothing and other
necessities of life.
The Batesville Guard adds:
And in the meantime congress
plays politics to fool the people,
While serving the special interests
BY delaying or refusing to enact
legislation that would afford relief.
There has been steady call to
patriotism during the past several
months by those who hold author
ity over the people, and it appears
thai this call has been most gener-
ously responded to by all the people
except the very people among
Whom the patriotic feeling should
have first taken hold, if the inter-
ests of the public are to be bene-
fitted during war times. Those
who control the money supply and
the great industries of the country
should be called upon to be patriot
ic first, if good beginning for the
war is desired.
We are unable to see the logic
of urging the more extensive rails
ing of foodstuffs if prices are to be
controlled by manipulators and
speculators. II the combination of
capital in several lines of industry
is to gather up this foodstuff at
low price, hoard it away and finally
sell it at a high price, we fail to see
that the wave of patriotism has
materially benefited anybody ex-
cept the spectators.
The spectators ought to be made
to be patriotic by the government,
which expects and enforces patriot,
Ism among other people, No doubt
patriotism will have to be forced
upon the Spectators, but the in
terests of the country demand that
It be done.
We arrest a Stacker" but we al
low the spectators to prowl into
the pockets of all the people every
day. We arrest the man who
makes improper remarks about the
president, but we cannot, or do not
molest the men who rape the
pocketbooks Of the people every
day by improper business methods,
We draft an army and see the Wig
orous young manhood of the coun-
try step into line and march away
to the defense of the flag. Will the
8overnment witness this and then
leave the spectators free to ex-
pIoit and plunder the finances of
the families of these men who are

Of course it is going to cost some
thing to build a road from the

City under the Alexander law.
Such things as good roads, unfor-
tunately, do not come gratis, al

the burden of the cost with the
people directly interested. But
that road will be worth every cent
it costs, and many times more
than that, to every citizen who
