WHEAT PRICES CAN, BE FIXED

There has been much discussion
about what prices the Food Admins
tration can fix. Prices have been
fixed on coal and wheat by authority
conferred by the Food Control legis-
lation. Prices have also been fixed
on iron and its products but not I'M
der the Food Control Law. This was
done by agreement with the iron and
steel industries and is voluntary on
their part.
The Food Control legislation con-
fers power on the president to fix
prices on coal and if necessary to
buy and sell it. 1t also. confers auth
ority to buy and sell, and therefore
to fix prices on, wheat, flour, meal,
beans and potatoes. These are the
only articles over which the presi-
dent is given the price fixing power.
The president is given power to
license any business of the country
where the business transacted an
hually exceeds 100000. The power
under such license is conferred to
regulate profits in any line of bust
ness but not to fix prices. Authority
is given over fertilizer andagricultur-
al implements under the license pro-
vision but the power to fix the price
is not conferred-only the power to
regulate profits.
The question is often raised in re-
gard to the price of live stock, meats,
corn, etc. The food Administration
acting for the president can not I'M
der the present law fix prices on
these things because the authority to
do that is not conferred. What the
next congress might do in that line
is not known, but until congress does
act no one has the power to fix prices
on any commodity except as stated
above.
The regulation of profits which
may be done now in any line Of bust
ness, is an entirely different thing
from the fixing of positive prices.
1t will eliminate speculation but it
will not prevent high prices if they
are due to causes other than specula-
ton.

COST OF THE WAR.

The cost of war must be getting
beyond the estimates. The following
statement from a prominent New
York bank shows the approximate
list:
The war is costing the belligerent
nations of the world at the rate of
$3.50, 100000 day-$6,5O0,00 an
hour-and the United States is pay
ing at least one-quarter of this stag
gering sum, according to estimates
made by the Mechanics and Metals
National bank of New York
The estimated daily cost at the be-
ginning of the war was $50,000,000
and year ago it was $100,000,000.
This country's rate of expenditure is
greater than any other nation, Eng
land being second and Germany
next.
By next August, according to the
banks figures, the total cost to the
world will be $155,000,O00,00O.
Already expenditures have exceed
ed 500, 900, 100000 of which all but
a fraction has been translated into
permanent national indebtedness. In
terest on public debt is now calculat-
ed to be more than ten per cent Of
the normal income of the German
people, as compared with less than
one-half of one per cent in the case
of the people of this country.
The developed national wealth of
the Allies is placed at 100000, 0O0,-
900 by the banks while that of the
Teutonic powers is given as $780,
000,O0O,O00.
About 100000 men are today
engaged in the war. To what extent
the Entente Allies have gained
superiority over Germany is shown
by the bank in striking fashion. With
no more than 100000 Of American
manhood enlisted, the total military
strength Of the Allies is $4,000, 900
against total for Germany, Aus
tria- Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey
of 10000, 900. The population Of the
population Of the fourteen Entente
Allies from which the ranks Of their
armies may be replenished is all to-
Egether 1906, 900, 600, against pop
ulation Of less than t5o, 600 ,000 in
the Central European nations.

First DreadnauQht.

1t is hard to realize that the original
dreadnaught is now ten years old. and
that, big as 1t is, close upon $4,000 tons,
1t has been far surpassed in tonnage
and armament, observes an exchange.
1t gave n new word to the world, for
the name of the ship, one Of the tradi-
tional names of the British navy, is
now applied to all ships of its class
In every country. The word has taken
the place of man of war, line of battle
ship, and irOnclad. Even now we have
been obliged to go one better and the
word superintendent has arisen. 1t
is interesting to bark back to the most
famous of Nelson's ships, probably the
most famous vessel which ever sailed
the sea, the Victory, and to compare
1t with even the first dreadnaught. The
latter took IA months to complete and
cost $9,000,000. while the Trafalgar
flagship, n little over 1000 tons, re-
quired many years to build and cost
only $4,000, n sum ut that time con-
sldered colossal.

German arms which would otherwise
have been certain, thus saving us from
the terrors of German militarism. We
are fighting Germany because the sue
cess Of Germany would mean the end
of freedom here and everywhere.
America cannot remain free II kaiser
ism wins. II Germany should tri-
umph over our European allies, we
would have to battle single handed
with a victorious Teuton autocracy,
determined to conquer and subjugate
the world.
For 40 years Germany has been
building up military machine, the
central thought of which has been
world domination, and this terrible
world calamity Of blood and misery is
the result of this aim of the German
autocracy.
Outlaw Among Nations.
Germany's method of warfare, In the
sinking of merchant ships without
warning, In the drowning of helpless
women and children, in bOmbarding
unfortified cities, In lurking like as
sassins beneath the waters and in the
air, ready to strike and murder the I'M
armed, the unsuspecting. and the help
less, has evidenced a savagery and
brutality such as the world has never
known before. Humanity will find 1t
difficult to forgive and history impos-
sible to forget. Germany is the out
law among the nations, trampling un-
der foot every obligation Of interna-
tional law, threatening every ideal
dear to the hearts of freemen; and
the world will not be safe place for
liberty until the German autocracy Is
overthrow and crushed forever.
We would have lost the respect OF
mankind and our own self-respect had
we failed to take up the gauntlet SC
insolently thrown In our face by the
German rulers. We are fighting fol

for democracy and autocracy cannot
exist side by side. A state of war was
recognized by congress, and thus re-
luctantly we were brought into the

that we are in the war we see, with

to free one people, while this war Is
not only to keep ourselves free but to

of every creed. The outcome will de-
termine whether the world will be all
democratic or all autocratic, whether
government Of the people and by the
people shall obtain throughout the
earth or shall perish everywhere. We
are at war with Germany because
there is an irreconcilable conflict be-

earth and good will In the hearts Of
the children of men. The mission Of
America is to educate the world to this
desired consummation. To fulfill this
mission there must be loyalty and de-
votion to the ideals Of America among
the people Of america.
The democracy that we are fighting
for Is the religion Of brotherhood
among men; the religion that says
"Thou shalt not lie; thou shalt not
steal" the religion that demands the
application of the Golden Rule In pub
lie and private life everywhere; the
religion that does not array class
against class but preserves the rights
of all by causing each to respect the
rights of the other that equalizes con.
ditions, not by dragging down those
who are up but by lifting up those
who are down; that does not attack
wealth honestly acquired, but wages
unending war against conditions that
create poverty; that protects property
rights, but recognizes the fact that
property rights should never be incon'
sistent with human rights; that seeks
more government by the people, not
less government by the people; that
gives to each man an equal opportunity
to live and to labor upon the earth
that God has given to all, and to enjoy
untrammeled and unrestricted the
gains of honest toll; the religion thai
means more Of service and less q
