POTATOES HELD

New York Huber King Predicts Forty Dollars Barrel-Dealers
 Tying Up Stocks.

New York, March 3.--Oscar Frommell, referred to as the "Po- tato King" gave an enlightening view of the potato situation when questioned by Assistant District At torney Markewich. Mir. Frommell said that he and five other large dealers in potatoes and about fifty smaller dealers have large stock in storage. and will keep them until the top price is reached,
 "t have" said Mir. Frommell, about 2O.OOO barrels of potatoes in storage in Maine. They cost me from s2 a barrel up. and for some of them paid recently s9 bar rel. am not in the potato busi- ness for my health. Three years ago the market went against me and lost s60.O0O."

Governmental Ideas Of Honor

President Wilson on several oc-
casions, notably in his War Mes
sage of April 2 and in his reply
to the peace note of the Pope, has
called attention to the fact that no
peace can be maintained with the
Imperial German Government,
that no autocratic government
such as it can be trusted to keep
faith; that only free people can
hold their purpose and their honor
steady to a common need, and pre-
fer the interest of mankind to any
narrow interest of their own.
The President was only restat-
ing a difference between two sys-
tens Of governmental policy, two
different governmental ideas OF
national honor, that has long eX-
listed. The quotations given below
show the American idea of a ma

tons honor from the inception of
thls government down to the pres
ent day and the idea TO national
honor held by the German Govern
ment since the days of Frederick
the Great.
The foundations of our nation
al policy will be laid in the pure
and lmmutable principles of pri-
Vate morality. There exists in the
course of nature an indissoluble
union OF virtue and happiness, be-
tween duty and advantage, be-
tween honest policy and public
felicity. The smiles of heaven can
never be expected on a govern
ment that disregards the eternal
rules OF order and right, which
heaven itself has ordained -
George Washington, President of

soon as our military aims have
been attained. He who is menac-
ed as we are, and is fighting for
his highest possession, can only
consider how he is to hack his way
through" THE German Chancel-
lor Addressing the Reichstag, Au-
gust a, 1914.
The German Chancellor was
simply following the keynote given
by Frederick the Great speaking
in 1740: '"The question of right is
an affair of ministers. Take what
you can; you are never wrong I'M
less you are obliged to give back"
Contrast the American and the
German standards of national
honor. The honor and good faith
of the American Government from
Washington's day to Wilson's are
back of the Liberty Loan Bonds.
Well may they be called the safest
investment on earth-the premier
security of the world.

One year has passed away and how
we miss her!
Friends may think the wound has
