SEIDEL IS
UNDER INQUIRY
FORMER MAYOR OF Milwaukee Is
HAVING UTTERED LANGUAGE NOT
PROPER IN TIMES OF WAR.
Especial To The Herald.)

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 26.-Much
interest j. manifested here in the outcome
Of the charges against Emil Seidel. who Is
10 nave a hearing in court today on
charges Of ..using language tending 10 pro
woke an assault and breach of the peace"
Seidel i one of the foremost socialist
leader. in America. lie j. a former mayor
of Milwaukee, has been Il candidate for
governor OF Wisconsin and IN 1917 was the
socialist party choice for vice president OF
the United States. Recently he j. alleged
To nave taken a leading part IN efforts OF
the socialists TO organize locals among
German Farmers and in the small towns Of
Wisconsin. These organization meetings,
il j. said. were usually accompanied by
anti-w speeches.
\ week ago Seidel appeared in the town
of Horizon and asked permission 10 use the
city hall or "A small room, for a socialist
town refused. Seldel then went To a pri-
waite house. where about IS gathered with
in to hear him. Outside were gathered
several hundred others. SeIdel i alleged
to have said that America wa. taxing her
self to give Germany democracy; that the
people elected President Wilson 10 keeI
them out of war, and that then he Keep
them out of potatoes; that the people only
think they make the laws; that Governor

ing TO allow a peace convention IN Wiscon'

WHOLESALERS SHOULD SUPPLY
SUGAR FOR LOCAL MARKET.

o1N-ta IOh i'N.tS
Whatever the real cause of the new
sugar famine said to be impending here
one thing is plain: Sugar can he bought
plenty of il j. ON the market. Ii there j.
not enough sugar in Brownsville to sup
ply the local demand, 1t Is because the
wholesalers do not order a sufficient
quantity. fss-~3s
Ii is charged that the reason of this is
that the government has limited the whole
salers' profit on sugar to twenty-five cents
on the hundred pounds, and the small
amount of profit does not satisfy the de-
mands of the wholesalers. Therefore they
decline 10 handle the commodity IN suf-
ficient quantities to accommodate the To-
cal trade.
This may or may not be true. We hope
it is not true. The vendors of this house
hold necessity should be willing 10 provide
an adequate supply for their .egular trade,
whether they made any profit on il or cot.
The local dealers should be willing 10 sell
sugar at cost, in order to accommodate
the public. They should beware of Il policy
which may cause people TO send away FOR
supplies. For if they can not buy sugar
ut home, they can buy it elsewhere and that
i what they will do. And, ten to one. pco-
Pile who send away for sugar are likely to
send for other supplies a. well. The whole
salers should not be guilty of showing the
the people of their town the way to an out
side market for their supplies.
