THE FOOD CONTROL BILL.

The senate has at last passed the food control bill
after month of amendments offered and discussed and
voted down AS finally going to the house the bill is made
to cover but three tes food feed and fuel The latter
covers kerosene and gasoline 1t also provides for con-
gressiona direction by committee composed of ten-ve
from each house and these to consist of three democrats
and two republicans Just why the political color of the
committee had to be looked after knows other than
the congressman and the senator's Neither is known
why any report should be made to such committee un-

bitter fight for the house had passed the bill Just as
the president desired it. while the senate has made an en-

General Goethals has already rendered his resignation
from the shipping board and it is expected Herbert
Hoover will follow suit and refuse to have anything
further to do with the handling Of the food distribution
and conservation problems Both these designations will
take the larger from the jobs and leave them in the
hands of men far less capable. General Goethas has
shown traits peculiar to the martinez but his splendid
showing in the work at the Panama canal compes regret
at his action Still it is better than an intermnabe quar-
rel between himself and the chairman of the board Den
man. It seems the is to be taken that fol-
lowed the breaking out of the civil war; and that that
the process Of elimination alone will finally get the right
men in the right places.

BRYANISM EXEMPLIFIED.

AS evidence against Organism
we beg to offer the account of
the recent raid by Mexican ban
dts and the murder of at least
three more American citizens on
the New Mexico-Mexico border,
near Hachita, N. M.
These American citizens were
moving, or attempting to move,
their herds from one section to
another-to a place of safety
away from near the border.
They were unarmed and attend
ing to their private business as
peaceahle and law-abiding citi-
zens. En- route they ran onto a
bunch of Villa bandits (the same
bunch Gen. Persbing was sup
posed to CATCH and the bandits
being on American soil proceeded
to murder the unarmed Ameri-
cans.
The bodies of the dead men
were found, their heads terribly
mutilated and all their clothing
gone--the brutes needed 'gringo"
clothing to hide their own naked
ness.
Several orphans and three
more widows left to meet a cold
and lonely existence. i
The bandits, as usual, made
their getaway.
The matter was investigated.
and after it's red-tape providing
from one in authority to another
in authority, announcement was
made by Official Washington
that the news had been officially
reported to the War Department
The Snowflake herald., 1917-02-23

of Organism; till we get over
being sissyfied in our dealings
with foreign lands and wake-up
to the horse sense George Wash
ington history of Americanism!
Not a ten year old school boy
in America who, if called upon
to tell what would President
Jackson have done under such
circumstances, could tell right
off the bat. Jackson was a
Democrat Simon pure, too. Or
what would Grant or Mckinley
have done, and they were Re-
publicans. So, it is not a matter,
altogether, of what kind of
politics Official Washington is
stuffed with-its a matter of real
Americanism as against fadism,
fanaticism, and several other
wild goose isms too numerous to
mention that's crumbling down
our pride and submitting our
landmarks of dignified American
ism to the insults of one of the
lowest types of governments
under the sun!
So the story goes and real
American blood curdles at the
thought, the shame, the coward
ice, the pacifcistism of Bryan
ism, or Peace at any Price"
The Snowflake herald., 1917-02-23

insulted and ravished in Mexico!
All for the sake of Peace at
any PriceY'
A firm hand hold of the situa-
ton would have nipped the out
rage in the bud, but Taft is of a
vaselating temperament and
didn't see any necessity for
drastic action. He and Diaz had
brought the two nations together
by meeting and shaking hands
at the dividing line on the Inter
national bridge between Ell Paso
and Juarez and of course, all
was well.
Unfortunately for the United
States border states, Wilson
succeeded Taft and brought with
him Taft's same sugar coated
policy with Mexico. And I'M
fortunately for the Nation Wilson
made Bryan Secretary Of State,
and it will take this Nation at
least one hundred years to get
over Organism!
1t is an outrage!
1t is disgraceful to have to
write about such!
1t is an everlasting shame that
with an army of fighting men on
the border wearing muzzles from
their heads to their heels and
banditism running wild near
enough to our soldiers to spit in
their faces!
When a German submarine
sank the Lusitania with its load
of American citizens, Organism
injected it's sillyism and the mat
ter was handled in such an un-
dignified manner as to forever
discredit this nation! Instead OF
this nation breaking diplomatic
relations with Germany then and
there, and Immediately proceed
Ing to collect an indemnity off of
Germany that would have stag
gered her finances for the next
two hundred years! But, instead,
one of those famous notes was
dispatched to her Imperial Maj
esty, and soon it became the
talk of the world that that note
shouldn't be taken seriously by
the Kaiser, that it is for home
consumption" Organism gone
mad.
This is not written just to list
en- to a political harp string, but
be it to the everlasting credit OF
the Republican party that it has
never gone into the jack-o-lant-
ern ism business with sworn al
legiance to Brvanism!
How long will we be expected
to endure such depends upon the
crazy, fanatical so-called idealism
The Snowflake herald., 1917-02-23
and that's the end of it.

anu CldC Tie emu VI ICs
MeXicans as a whole and ban
dts in particular know Official
Washington by heart. They
know so we'll that they dare yell
at Americans soldiers and hurl
vile and dirty names, adding in
suit to insult, knowing that the
United States government, with
its policy of keeping out of war"
will not shoot for su~'l cause,
but wait for some international
interference on which to base an
act of war. We say, the Mexi-
cans know this, and taking adj
vantage of it, kill and murder
and insult American men and
women on evrey available oppor-
tunity.
This state of affairs will con-
tinue until forebearance will
cease to be a virture with the
citizenship of America and then
pressure will be brought to bear
in such force as to override the
foolish sentiment of Peace at
any Price, and there will be a
war between Mexico and the
United States that will avenge
the deaths of hundreds of our
citizens the insults to our gov
eminent outrages perpertrated
that find no expression in any
language on earth-no expression
save that Of the cruel hand of a
war waged for revenge!
Mexicans know that American
soldiers will fight. They know
that one American soldier can
easily matchten Mexican soldiers.
They know if an order should be
given out by Official Washington
to American soldiers to shoot
every Mexican offering an insult
to American soldiers or to any
American citizen on American
soil that the order would be
carried out to the letter. They
know this so we'll that in case
such an order should be issued
by the War Department to the
American soldiers that in ten
days time a search warrant would
have to be issued to find a Mexi-
can bandit within ten miles of
the border. Yet, Official Wash
ington, suffering with a chronic
case of peace at any Price"
sentimentality, will sit tight on
the war lid and suffer the ban
dts to continue to murder
Americans on American soil, not
to speak of the hundreds of
American citizens killed and
their property destroyed in
Mexico! Not to mention the
hundreds of American women
