spectators in foodstuffs ought to
be put in stripes behind the bars.
Perhaps Senator Thomas is also
correct. 1t might do the country
good to hang "a few, food. specula-
tors to lamp posts.
There is food crisis coming in
this country if the war continues
long, and there is no present indi-
cation that the great struggle will
be soon terminated. The European
allies, with whom this country has
associated itself in war upon Ger
many, have already issued a call to
the United States to be furnished
food supplies. These supplies have
been promised and will be furnish
ed, no doubt in great, quantities.
Thus it can be easily seen that if
the United States is to furnish food
stutfs to her European allies, and
she is going to have to do that to
win the war it appears, and the
food supply for our own people is
permitted to continue in the hands
of spectators and manipulators
the effect will be ruinous and there
will be riotine for the, actual neces-
sites Of life right here at home by
those thousands of laborers who
have no opportunity to produce
from the ground what they subsist
upon.
Since it is the generally accepted
theory, among those in authority
and those who have no power but
to submit, that present high prices
of foodstuffs are due to speculation
and not to shortage, it is hardly
conceivable that the government
will permit such a distressing con-
dition to assume more enormous
proportions without applying the
remedy.

The circuit court of Stone county
was in session at Mountain View
a little less than three days last

it paid all expenses of the term and
