PROVISIONS OF THE BILL

washington, Aug. 9.-Ihe food
control bill establishes, during the
war, broad government control over
foods, feeds, fuel, oils, natural gas,
fertilizer and its ingredients, tools,
utensils and equipment required for
the actual production of all such pro-
ducts, designated "necessaries."
In establishing government con-
troll, the bill authorizes the president
to enter into any voluntary arrange
ments, create or use any agency or
agencies, to accept services of any
person, without compensation, to CO.
operate with any agency or person,
to utilize any department or agency
of the government, and to co-ordinats
their activities.
Hoover Food Administrator
| In pursuance of such authorization,
/, President Wilson plans to appoint
Herbert C. Hoover food administra-
| tor. Control of other necessaries
named may be accomplished through
other agencies. The House provision
for an individual food administrator
was enacted only after the president
had prevailed upon the Senate and
House conferees to eliminate a Senate
amendment, inserted by two over
whelming votes of SO to 19 and so to
%, proposing a board of three sub
/ ject to Senate confirmation.
Comprehensive powers are given in
the bill, passed as a war measure, to
assure adequate supply and equitable
distribution of the named necessaries,
to facilitate their movement; to pre-
vent, locally and generally, scarcity,
monopoly boarding, injurious specu-
lation, manipulation or private con-
troll affecting supply, distribution and
movement.
Other provisions of the bill fix a
minimum price for wheat beginning
next year at not less than 81 per
standard bushel; provide for coal and
coke price; fixing, Communicating
and government operation of factor
les and mines producing necessaries;
for government purchase, sale and
requisition of various necessaries, and
for federal licensing of agencies pro-
ducing and handling them.
The bill appropriates fund of
! $50, 100000 to be used in its admin
listration and s10,OO0,OO0 for federal
purchase and sale at cost of fertilizer

POLITICAL SLATES ARE BEING REVISED BY M|SS|SS|PP|ANS Riley, Once Defeated for Governor, May Enter the
 Race Next Time
RUSSELL AND COLLINS ALREADY ANNOUNCED
To Further Muddy Waters It Is Sug- gested Earl Brewer Will Also Be Candidate-Bilbo to
 Fight Vardaman
Fly E. F. FRANTZ

Jackson, Miss, May 5.-(SpeciaL)-Th political wiseacres of Mississippi have begun to change their slates-wiping out and starting over as to who will be can didates for governor and United States senator, the only offices in which any particular interest is felt
 It had been thought for long time that Marion F. Riley the leading anti Bilbo candidate two years ago. had enough of politics. and that he would not again offer for the distinction, but change is said to have come over the spirit of MT. Riley's dreams, and it may be, after all, that he will permit himself to be drawn into the political whirlpool. It is said that MT. Riley is making good as a lawyer at Meridian, to which city he moved from Natchez after his defeat in the last gubernatoral contest, and that in the event he can stir up the money necessary he will again make the race. MT Riley is quoted as having told a friend not long since that he wanted to run for governor next time, but that he was not able, unless, perchance, he wins big case before the supreme court. His friends are anxious for him to run. believing that because of the serious split and bitter antagonsms in the ranks of the Bilbo contingent since the last elec- tion, he will be able to make the land- ing.
 That Ross Collins, present attorney general and Lee Russell, present lieuten- ant governor, will be opposing candidates for the governorship, there is no doubt. Both have announced their candidacy, and both are actively at work. Russell has the backing of Governor Bilbo, and Collins has Bilbo's enmity, though they were cheek by jowl two years ago. It is urged that Bilbo. being a candidate for the United States Senate against Varda- man, will have his hands full attending to his own affairs, and that Russell will have his own canoe to paddle. but those who know the governor best declare he would rather go down in defeat for the Senate than to see Collins elected gov ernor. and that he will make a joint fight with Russell and sink or swim, sur vive or perish, with him. In view of the bitterness of this factional fight among the Bilbotes it is claimed Riley would have soft snap in his race for the gov ernorship.
 It Is confidently believed that Governor Bllbo is going up against Vardaman for the term beginning March, 1919. There N does not seem to be any doubt about that and it is the consensus of opinion that if there are but the two candidates, Bilbo will be the winner, because of Varda- mans enmity to President Wilson How ever it is now believed that ex-Gover- nor Earle Brewer is going to shie his caster into the senatorial arena, and if he does the waters are going to be mud died very thoroughly.

PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS.

Among several nominations sent
to the senate by President Wilson
Sept. 20 were the following for posi-

Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury
Byron r. Newton of New York to be
collector Of customs at the port of
New York, vice Daniel Malone, re-
sighed because he was peeved.
Daniel c. Roper of South Carolina
to be commissioner Of internal reve-
nue, vice VIM. H. Osborn, resigned
on account Of impaired health.
William c. Adamson Of Georgia 20
be q general appraiser Of merchandise.
Mr.. Malone rendered his resigna-
ton as customs collector at New York
as protest against the refusal of
President Wilson to Intervene Sec
ond time to release from jail some Of
the foolish and fanatical women suf-
fragists who persisted in picketing
! the White House, displaying sensa-
tional signs and causing disturbances
on the street after they had been
warned by the police that such con-
duct would be no longer tolerated.
At Mr.. Malone's instance the presi-
dent directed the release Of the wo-
men who were imprisoned on refus-
ing to pay the fines assessed for the
first offenses, but when the militant
misses and madams persisted in re-
peating their unbecoming misbe-
havior, and again declared they would
suffer Imprisonment rather than pay
the fines imposed by the court in
which they were convicted, the preai-
dent very properly declined to inter-
fere further in the matter.
Tn retiring from one Of the most
important and lucrative federal Of
fees in the country because he failed
Ito induce the president Of the United
States to pardon q bunch Of petty
paae -dist1arbars, the New ork col
leetor has set q unique precedent that
is apt to remain in that category for
"a long tinae-s'it may be for years
and it may be forever" Most Of Mr..
Malone's fellow citizens would be dis
posed to hang onto a fat billet like
his even if half the women in Wash
ington went to the lookup in con-
sequence.

Patriotic Life Underwriters.

The national convention of life un.
derwriters held in New Orleans last
week indorsed the administration bill
pending in congress to provide life in
surance for American soldiers and
sailors. Secretary of the Interior
Franklin K. Lane aroused the conven-
tion to great degree of enthusiasm
by an eloquent address appealing to
the people to help the president and
the government in prosecuting the war
for democracy and freedom. Aiding
in the campaign for placing the Sec
ond Liberty Loan bond issue was
designated by Mr., Lane as the most
important work that could be done in
this direction at the present time, and
the assembled insurance men promised
their best efforts in support of the
movement.

III" TO PAY IN NEW YORK.

New York city is in for the livaliest
kind of a municipal campaign and
election, the progress and outcome OF
which will exeits ,reat interest
1 Throughout the country.
Four candidates for mayor are In
| the field, Mayor Mitchell standing for
recollection, and opposed by Judge Hy-
Ian, the nominee Of the Tammany
Democracy, Mr.. Bennett, Republican,
and Mr.. Hillquist, Socialist.
A large meeting Of citizens of the
metropolis was held at the city hall
plaza, Oct. 1, to formally notify
Mayor Mitchell of his denomination,
and the principal speaker of the occa-
sion was Judge Charles E. Hughes,
Republican candidate for president
| last year. Letters indorsing the
mayors candidacy were read from for
mer President VIM. Fl. Taft and Chas.
Edward Russell, leading Socialist.
In strong speech accepting the
nomination Mayor Mitchell coined
what will no doubt be the campaign
slogan Of his supporters: "My an
swer is, will run. I will make the
fight one against Hearst, Hylan and
Hohenzollern. I will make the fight
against Murphy, Cohalan and
O'Leary."
It can be assumed that "Down with
Hearst, Hylan and Hohenzollern"
will make fetching battle-cry, and it
ought to help the reform elements Of
New York city give the three H's H
in November.

MEXICO BECOMING PACIFIED.

Official announcement comes from
San Antonio that the three regiments
of Texas troops which have maintain"
ed patrol along the Mexican border
since the return of the Pershlng
punitive expedition, will be withdrawn
in few days to Camp Bowie, Fort
Worth. This movement indicates that
all. is quiet on the border for the first
time since Francisco Villa and his
bandits perpetrated their naurderous
raid on Columbus, New Mexico, in
March Of last year.
simultaneously with the news Of the
pacifcation Of the border, however,
there was received from Ell Paso IN
formation to the effect that the notori-
ous Villa swooped down from the
mountains with band Of his follow
ers ana took possession of the town
Of Rosario, in the state Of Durango,
bdeclaring himself supreme dictator OF
that region and proceeding to levy
taxes, and seize quantity Of wheat
for distribution among the poor.
This incident might be taken to
warrant the suspicion that Mexico's
pacifcation, like some peoples beauty,
is only skin deep. There can be no
doubt, though, that the neighboring
republic has made considerable pro-
gress toward the attainment Of or
derly conditions and stable govern
ment, and it is to be hoped the i'm
provement will continue until the
ways Of peace and lawfulness have
been firmly established.
If one Villa could be permanently
eliminated this desirable process
would be greatly accelerated.
