Sergeant Fred Wells was the mag
net that drew a large number of
business men to the Chamber of Com
merce at the monday luncheon today
and the talk he gave was well worthy
the occasion. There were other mat
ters of Importance up also-the I. W.
W. situation in the community; the
matter of county fair or street car
nival, and baseball game or series
of games with the Pullman CONNER
cial club among them.
On Labor Situation

flee of the sheriff 1t was also noted
that w. J. Mcconnell, former gov

tions, but thought it might be we'll
to hold harvest festival He said
the boys and girls of the community
had been urged to do their level best
to raise good crops and good animals,
and he thought it the duty of the COM
munity to recognize the good work
done by them. E. j. Carey and others
favored the idea Of festival. The
matter was referred to the fair and
committees.

RAGTIME FADES BEFORE
THE MILITARY MARCH
Dealers Note Radical Change In the
Popular Taste for Music-Martiaf
Notes All the Rage

PORTLAND, Ore.-Is the war af-
fecting our musical standard?
Portland music dealers answer in
the affirmative.
One song-shop proprietor explained
here today that it is q conflict be-
tween quality and quantity. The ex-
ira demand for martial airs and mill
itarv music is blamed.
Anything with military title" this
dealer explained, will sell. If it is
new and the least bit catchy, people
will buy it. 1t has a run for two or
three weeks. when the tickle public
deserts it for another.
THE trouble is that everybody is
trying to write music with military
swing. whether he has talent for that
sort of com mposition or not. Even some
good writer's are yielding to the pop
nlar demand for this wartime stuff.
Much of the light music of the day is
the work of writer's who have never
had experience in composition. Little
or none of the music ground out these
days will last. Not a classic in bar
rel of it.
no" he continued with a chuckle.
Il would hardly give you any exam
pies of the poor music now offered to
the public. Hardly be fair to the ris-
mo ,ouuo aouposarc -
In many cases the new" military
airs are simply old stand-bys work
ed over and fitted with new titles.
A photograph dealer today told the
same story. The sale of records, he
declared, has been greatly reduced and
,igh-class records are in slight de-
nand. People want just anything
hat carries military note"

ALL BLAME
President Wilson Has No
Desire to Shirk His Share
of Responsibility
HOW LINCOLN SUFFERED
Chief Executive Sees in Provision of
of Food Control Bill Vote of
Lack of Confidence in Himself

WASHINGTON President Wilson
takes a strong stand against that
section of the food control bill that
provides for joint committee of five
senators and five representatives to
ascertain how all government con-
tracts are let and all money spent
in the conduct of the war. 1t is
specified that the president and all
executive departments keep the COM
mittee fully advised on all war con-
tracts and expenditures.
Why President Objects
Writing to Chairman Lever of the
house agricultural committee Presi-
dent Wilson says:
Il am very much obliged to you for
your thoughtful courtesy in stating 20
me the circumstances of the present
action on the food administration bill,
and 1 am particularly obliged to you
for calling my attention to section %.
/ deem it my duty to express my opin-
ion about that section and its effect
upon the whole administration of the
war very frankly indeed, since the
public interest manifestly demands
that / should do so.
No Part of Bill
"Section 23 is not only foreign 20
the subject matter of the food ad-
ministration bill in which it is in
corporated, but would, if enacted into
law, render my task of conducting
the war practically impossible.
cannot believe that those who pro-
posed this section scrutinized it with
care or analyzed the effects which its
operation would necessarily have. The
constant supervision of executive act
ion which it contemplates would
amount to nothing less than an as
sumption on the part of the legisla-
tive body of the executive work of
the administration.
An Ominous Precedent
"There is very ominous precedent
in our history which shows how such
a supervision would operate. refer
to the committee on the conduct of
the war constituted by the congress
during the administration of Mr..
Lincoln. 1t was the cause of constant
and distressing harassment and rend-
cred Mr.. Lincoln's task all but impos-
sible.
Lack of Confidence?
81 am not, I beg you to believe, in
any way questioning what might be
the motives or the purpose of the
members of such a committee; | am
ready to assume that they would wish
to cooperate in the most patriotic |
spirit but cooperation of that kind is
not practicable in the circumstances. |
The responsibility rests upon the ad- !
ministration- There are abundant ex-
isting means of investigation and of
the effective enforcement of that re-
sponsibility. l sincerely hope that
upon the reconsideration of this mat
ter both houses of congress will see
that my objections rest upon indis-
putable grounds and that could only
interpret the final adoption OF section
% as arising from lack Of conf
dence in myself"
