THE BREWERS AND H GOVERNMENT.

We fear that the brewing interests have their fingers upon the
throat Of the federal government.
We can take the boy from the shop or the farm; we can tear
The husband from the earns of the wife; we can take over, if need
be. all the foodstufs of America; we have a right to decree that
the fats and the meats and the bread and the vegetables shat not
be wasted-but when it comes to beer, the government must keep
hands Off
Perhaps we would not be justified in crticising our govern
mental policies during a great crisis like the present were we not
assured that it's the truth that shall make us free.
Senator Norris of Nebraska, in the course of his remarks upon
the question of estoppng the manufacture OF beer during the war,
told his senatorial associates some papabe truths. lie called at
tention to the fact that we r. now yearly using IN the manutac-
ture of beer 100000 bushels Of barley; 100000 bushels OF
corn, and 100000 bushels of rice.
Let us pause here long enough to comprehend what tins vast
amount means when reduced to carloads. 1t would till 5h,9OU
freight cars, eachNhodng thirty tons, or sixty thousand pounds.

we all want to win. We are willing to make all kinds of sacri
fees in order that we may win. That widow must give up her son
to be sacrificed, the wife must surrender her husband. Every one
is called upon to sacrifice, to eat less, to give up all Injuries IN order
that the food for the army and the nevy and for those who are
laboring to sustain and supply the army may be conserved. Why
is it that we shall demand Of all our people these Sacrifices, and YET
when it comes to the manufacture of beer we shall apply a differ

suspend their operations in order that the food that IS used IN the
manufacture of beer may be utilized for sustaining human lHe?'

MIR. cREEL AND HIS "THR1LLERs."

Mr.. Creel, of the board Of censorship, has demonstrated his
inaphtude for the responsible position. His admitted elaboration
of an official report concerning the chasing OF submarines away
from the American boats carrying the American boys across the
water is sufficient evidence to justify the president in substituting
a real newspaper man for the job Mr.. Creel is rafting around IN
From the official report to the effect that a submarine. had once
been sighted while the troops were nearing the European shore Mr.
Creel wrote what in common newspaper parlanee is a thriller,
and then he withheld it from publication for several days IN order
that the American people might be doubly thrilled on the great
and patriotic occasion of the Fourth Of july.
This was intended obviously to stimulate sentiment with re-
speet to the war and to furnish a little newspaper zst for the
1eeetation Of the public
The trouble with Mr.. Creel is that he has been. veerng towards
the ssyellow' during his whole newspaper career. And the Amer
ican pople, in times like the present, are not crying tor the vel
low What they want is fact, unembelhshed by the extraordln-
arly developed thrill which charaeterlzes the education OF men

President Wilson would do we'll to select for Mr.. Creels position

the sseommon herd long enough to understand what the rank

attracted attention, and then one day when the wolf actually came he
was unable to make his neighbors believe that he was not again

Even now the people who are less interested IN thrills than
infacts have to AWAIT the coming of their staid old journals or their
family @weekies to ascertain the truth about important happenings.

our young men for military service, but 1T seems o5laek the power

THE "HEATHENn CHINESE.

China is again the the throes of a rebellion, due to an attempt
by a military chieftam to restore the discarded Manchu dynasty.
China was a highly Hciviized'' country while the Anglo-Saxon
and the Slav were still enjoying the freedom OF savagery.
Long before the art Of printing was discovered in Europe the

But Chinese dynasty, so far back as recorded events lead, has
never escaped confronting a rebellion. on the part of a portion Of its
subjects. Before England was known in history hundreds upon
hundreds of thousands of Chinese were either rebdling against their
government or trying to suppress a rebellion.
Intrigue and counterintrigue have characterized Chlna,s exist
=ence as a nation. When one dynasty has fallen, through force of
arms, as a rule, another has stepped forward to continues as its
predecessor began.
When the Mongos overran China and captured the throne and
installed one Of their number thereon, the Chinese accepted the sit
|uation as they had accepted Others of a like nature for thousands
Iof years.
And when, many generations ago, the Manchus came to the
throne. the Chinese, following thes- former policy, became subjects
of foreign rule and continued their way as they are reputed to have
followed it for ten thousand years.
The Chinese rebellions will end, seemingly, when there are no

 Although all the appropriation bills that failed had gone through the old house, they must go through the new one again and must take the usual course through proper committees.
 Unless there are radical changes in the measures that the house repasses, but little time need be lost in the senate, where legislation already con sidered can be given formal attention in short order. The appropriation bills must be passed by July l. when the federal fiscal year ends and this fact will be a spur to action.

NEXT CONGRESS- COMPLEXION
 BATTLES
Both Big Parties Are Claiming Control, But Unbiased See Bitter Organization Fight Likely.
(By Review Leased WIre)

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Optimis- tic forecasts for the control of the next house came from Democratic and Republican leaders tonight when they heard of the Presidents call for an extra session of congress April 16. Many unbiased observations, however, foresee only a long and bitter organiza- tion fight unless a coalition agree ment prevents.
 Both Speaker Clark and Representa- tive Woods of Iowa. chairman of the Republican congressional committee predicted victory for their respective parties. Each said his party was as sured of at least 21S votes and at this probably would be its minimum strength.
 Evenly Divided.

Under the New York law this vacancy can be filled before the extra session begins if a special election is called before next Friday.

WASHINGTON. March 9.-Lacking legal authority to establish general censorship, the administration tonight appealed to the patriotism of the coun- try's newspapers and cable companies to suppress information about the numbers of American merchant craft, now to be armed against German sub marines.
 The best news that can be read Is that the government will protect the rights of Americans to the freedom of the seas.
 "The publication of details can serve no good purpose and might jeopardize human lives" statement reads.
 Navy yard commanders will super intend the actual installation Of guns on merchant craft. The rifles, already stored at the yards. range from heavy six inch to three inch weapons and smaller guns. The number of guns to
