CONGRESS.-The people of the ma
ton realize that our great president.
is buTdened with problems of state.
They also realize that he is doing
his utmost to hold the republic in a
firm grasp and to prevent war and
disaster. But millions Of citizens are
in dire need and distress for the want
of daily food and pray that speedy
relief may be given them by the law
making forces Of the nation who
have direct power to come to their
rescue.
There is a corrupt practice in
vogue among certain classes where
by cereals, fruit and vegetables are,
for a certain price paid by wholesale
purchases, not harvested and mar
keted, but allowed to rot. Persons
involved in such drastic acts on eth
eT side of a deal should be severely
punished. Both bribers and the
bribed should be heavily fined and
imprisoned.
There is a corrupt practice in
vogue between numerous commits
sion merchants and railways where
by produce is allowed to be shipped,
but not delivered, in order that the
market can be held in a starved con-
dition, that the merchants will be
able to charge the consumer exOrbi-
tant prices. Hundreds of millions of
bushels Of vegetables and fruit are so
held in check during certain times of
the year until the food rots or is
dumped, all done to prevent delivery.
Every culprit engaged in such damn
able work should be prevented from
doing business or be heavily fined
and imprisoned.
There is a corrupt practice in
vogue whereby a major quantity Of
food products is stored for long pc
RODS in order to force up prices. A

nation that allows such conditions is
untrue to it's people. Mandates
should speedily be enacted to prevent
storage of food longer than from 80
to so days. Any person violating
such a law, once it is enacted, should
have his stock confscated and be Sc
verely fined and imprisoned.
A nation that does not foster and
protect its people against the greedy
who ever conspiTe to rob them is a
failure. Ten million of our people
are now at the point of starvation.
Twenty million more are in dire need
of food and cannot get it owing to
greed and high prices.
The time is at hand when, as a
matter Of self-respect, our govern
ment should come to our rescue to
prevent further suffering.-AIfred

SWISS RELIEVED.
Because United States Congress Has Not
Imposed Service on Aliens.

Bernie, Nov. Ia Correspondent of thu
Associated Press The news, received
here by the American legation, that the
United States Congress had adjourned
without taking any action on the pro
posal to require military service of for
eigners residing in the United States
has come as great relief to Switzer-
land.
Military service by Swiss in America
has been a moot subject in the Swiss
press for weeks. A dozen papers have
discussed the question cautiously. TAX
ing pains it must be said in justice to
be carefully fair and to weigh the whole
problem effectively, yet revealing an OBJ
yious anxiety about the outcome.
With the strain removed for the time
being by Congress- postponement of the
matter the tendency in political circles
is to admit frankly that any law enact
ed in America, to compel military service
from Swiss as yet unnaturalized, or with
only their first papers, would have had
an unfortunate effect on public and Off
cial opinion here.
Several journals expressed the view
that, while fully naturalized Swiss could
and should not expect to avoid military
service in America, the first paper" citi-
zen and he who had taken out no papers
at ALL could not possibly be drawn into
the new American army against his will
An interesting feature of the whole
has been the fact that the
same question has been on the tapis
m Germany. The Swiss papers have not
failed to give proper prominence to the
reports from Berlin showing that Ger
many, pressed as it undoubtedly ia for
men, has decided not to make inroads
lpon the rights of neutrals and even has
lecided to enforce compulsory military
service upon the "men without coun.
who have lost or cannot OBJ
ain passports from the countries they
lain as their own
