AN ADMtPABLE ExAnpt

Action which oGSht to get wide spread attention throughout the coun- try. in congress and in the state leg 1slatrre5 is that which has been taken by United States Die.r&1t Attorney Melville J. Francis, Of New York. in =riting to Ser7tor Calder requesting him not to press the bifi he has in- trcduced to increase the federe: at- terrey's salary SI:5Gc. Mir Frances salary at the present ti-oa ig 5z. Fsia sx.O by the change he would get s9,09o
 This incident attracts attention be- cause 1t Is so contrary to the usual procedure. Ordinarily too much pres sure cannot be brought to bear upon congressman and legislators to bring about just what Mir. Francis is trying to prevent. Nc thought Is given to anything except the result that is aim ed at-an increase in salary-but here Is a noteworthy exception, and Mir Francis speaks for more than himself when he says 'FWhen the nation needs every dollar for the Hfe-and- death struggle into which it has entered, no one should seek to profit individually by his services to the country"
 Those are patriotic words well spoken MT. Francis sets an admira- ble example in the stand which he. takes. He does the unusual and this ts a case where the unusual is called for. tt Is ~f course appreciated that these are Inc days when everybody is con cerned in the cost of living as it con- tinues to climb higher and higher, but the situation affects those who are working for a low wage much mora than it does those who are drawing handsome and income-tax paying sal aries They are. of course. affected the same as the poor man. They are obliged to pay more for everything they bUy the same as the other feE low but at the same time they are getting by their salary sufficient with which to do 1t.

RIGHT ACTION ON CENSORSHIP.

When the lower house Of congress voted to eliminate the censorship sec ton of the espionage bill. it did only what all sections of the country have been asking it to do. but it did just what was called for. According to this provision a hard blow was aimed at one of the great rights which goes with democracy. It would pre- vent the people from offering any opinion as to the manner in which those in high places might conduct their affairs. It would prevent all criticism and discussion regarding the conduct of the war and it would even impose a severe penalty for the ask ing of questions. It is an attempt to check the freedom of speech, and while it may have been included in the bill with good intent. it sayors too much of the course which might be expected from a country such as this country is now at war. with and con- ditions against which this country has so strongly. protested. It is to be recognized of course that discretion might be used by those who would be given authority in the mat ter, and it is Possible that no attempt would be made to go as far as the provision would seem to permit, but there are many things which the peo-
 
 should be done which would deny them this knowledge.
 Secrecy today surrounds many of the preparations. Such must be ex- pected. It Is for the interest of the nation that these things be kept under cover and the press, and people are doing their part in this connection. There will be at all times military facts, which would be of more value < 4< the people of this country, which must be suppressed, and none too drastic steps can be taken in order to insure such, but the proposed provision goes far beyond that and aims to check in formation for the people of. this coun- try which. the enemy would have no trouble in obtaining.
 The action taken by the house is therefore proper and it should be fol- lowed by similar action in the senate as soon as that body reaches the mat ter.

they buy for 30 cents a dozen and sell for 45 cents or more. You try to ped dIes them and the housewife wants them either all white or all brown. They must be big or they want you to drop On price because they are just as the hen made them. White CT brown. large or small. I don't wonder the hen's head gets turned and she goes on a strike and won't lay. She is waiting for some of these Bills to tell her the color or size the eggs must be.
 don't see why there should be scarcity of beans for seed. A lady told me she tried to sell nice seed beans to one of our local dealers In seed and fertilizer and. he would not take them because he couldn't buy them for s6 8 busheli that being far less than beans to cook. He said he could buy all he wanted for s6. Why is he out of so many standard kinds because he can't buy them for that price. The seed offered him was hand picked and shefled which everyone knows is hard job. so I suppose as years pass what beans are not sold to cook will be ground into meal and fed out. Why can't the dealers be willing to live and let live and not try to buy of the poor farmers for S6 a busheI and sell for S1z.S0 or more. Is It right then we farmers should be blamed for it?

RAISING AND CONSERVING SUP
 PLIES

There is little reason to doubt that much of the trouble in connection with the food supplies, and in connection with other commodities as well, in this country has been due to the hoarding thereof. With great need of prevent ing waste and increasing production, there is a disposition on the part of a great mary Q corner in a small way everything that Is needed. Some do this without any other object than to insure themselves a proper supply but there arc others who consider the opportunity to get rich quick at the expense of others S one which cannot be overlooked, regardless of the con- dftions which may be existing. The result is that prices mount. go sky high and out of reach in an instant and a sho-cage and hardship natur- ally result.
 In this connection. while production and conservation are being so exten-- sively D-elched, there is some good advice offered by the national asso- ciati5n os F-ocerr to the housewives of the ceunuy. when it urges them to buy only fer present needs. as if no war was in progress ard not attempt to store up 2 large supply of articles in their homes. and it offers as an ex- planatior of this advice that the mak- ing of a provision stoTeho17e of the homes and sverbuying will ral5e prices and create conditions we f1: w!sh to avoid because market prSas1 gre fixed by the visible supply and rco~ding re- duces that.

SOLVING THE RAILROAD PROB.
 lEiM

That those in charge of the railroad work in connection with the council of national defense have been putting in some timely work in the considera- ton of the problems which they face is indicated by the statement which
 was made on Thursday to the national
 defense, conference. of governors and
 representatives of the state defense
 councils at Washington by Daniel
 Willard, preaident of the Baltimore &
 Ohio and chairman of the advisory scommittee or the council of national
 defense, that .175 American railroads are now being operated under the a.
 rection of the government for the du-
 ration oE the war. and that 1t c:~r be
 expected that f will be pecesssry to curtail the passenger train service oi
 the country, to shxp the eewntyy.s er-
 tire output of rolling, stock arld rsils
 to the allies for the improvement of
 the transportation systerns of France
 and Russia as an aid to the activities
 of these countries in the war and to
 bring as large a proportion of the
 countryss railroad equipment as pos
 sible into use for the transportation of all kinds of supplies and foodstuffs.
 This Mir. Willard declares can be
 done by putting into force measures
 of greater railroad economy and bring
 ing the railroads of the country to the highest degree of efficiency. Many of these intended improvements are un- occasionally needed under normal con- -ditions, but they are particularly re- quired at the present, time. The part which the railroads must play in con nection with the solution of the huge problem of transportation cannot be overlooked. It is vital to the United States and it is vital to the entente nations and the quicker the programme of action can be decided upon and the authority secured to put it into force the quicker will the desirable results be obtained. Such may be looked up on as drastic measures. but drastic must be expected in con nection with waging a a4successfu1 war.

LETTERS TO TIE EDITOR
The Position of the Farmer.

Mir. Editor: In reading letters to you Tn The Bulletin, am much interested frices of milk. Now in answer to Bill I think if Bill will wake up,. go out on the farm and try his luck at pro- ducfng milk for selling. he can learn without asking why 1t costs more now than fifty years ago or thirty years ago even when the farmers lived, kept cows. sold butter. fatted pigs, raised calves to mature. and not so much for veal as now. They did not grain their cows then. Cows went dry all, winter with plenty of hay and grain raised on the farm Today those same people could not live and sell state has let loose a lot of handsome deer to run where they like. A few deer can spoil acres of rye, wheat corn, beans, melons, peas. beets. etc, never known to be so high before and they cans plant over for it would be too late in the season.
 F Second. Deer go on the best grass land and clover, eat the heart out soon as it starts up and when crop is made into hay, with help getting s2.50 to 8 a day, you don't have half crop. and with other grain and feed destroyed you have to buy grain or cows won't make milk to sell If Bill had to pay S35 to $40 a week for grain for fifteen or twenty cows he. couldn't sell milk at 4 or 5 cents any more than the rest of us.
 Third. Farmers used to sell any kind of apples, regardless of color. To- day the housewife must nave red ap- pIes or none. What is the difference when. the skin is taken of? Now there are no better favored apples than russets. or greenings to eat or cook, yet because they are not red thny must rot on the ground or in the cellar. Nobody wants them because they are not red. We farmers would not be allowed to paint them red or we would to man. Take red apples to the store. trade them for other things and you can't get but about them and he charges you high prices for his goods for there is no reduction any more than as if you paid cash. Eggs need not be so high if the seller would be fair on making profits but
