that all those with dependents can

Although il is absolutely neces-
sary that unquestionable powers
shall be placed in Hoover's hands
in order 10 insure the success of
this administration Of the food sup
plies Of the country. l am confident
that the exercise of those powers
will be necessary ONLY in the few
cases where some small and selfish

OF the very interests most directly
affected that the exercise Of the pow
ers given him will rest very success
fully upon the good will and coop
GRAFTON Of the people themselves. and
that the ordinary economic machin-
cry of the country will be left sub
stantially undisturbed.
The proposed food administra-
ton is intended Of course only 10
meet a manifest emergency and to
continue only while the war lasts.
Since it will be composed for the
most part of volunteers there need
be no fear Of the possibility of per-
manent bureaucracy arising out of

disappear when the emergency has
passed IL is with that object in
view that the administration con-
siders it 10 be of pre- eminent i'm
portance that the existing assOcia-
tons of producers and distributors
OF foodstuffs should be modified
and made use OF on a volunteer
basis The successful conduct OF the
projected food administration by
such means will be finest possible
demonstration of the willingness. the
ability and the efficiency OF the dem
ocracy and Of its justified reliance
upon the freedom of individual in
itiative. The last thing that any
American could contemplate with
equanimity would be the introduce
ton of anything resembling Prus-
sian autocracy into the food control
in this country.
1T is of vital interest and import
ance to every man who produces
food and to every man who takes
part in its distribution that these
policies thus literally administered
should succeed and succeed alto
gether. It is only in that way that
we can prove il TO be absolutely un-
necessary to resort to the rigorous
and drastic measures which have
proved to be necessary in some Of

MORE BEAUTIFUL

DOUGLAS, Dec. 29.--Another foot of as fine, high-grade snow as ever carpeted terra firma and covered up ashes and tin cans fell here last night and the depth was still being augmented at noon today. The streets have been cleared by the municipal snow blow of previous heavy falls until walls ten feet high line both sides of the thoroughfares The blow was not out today, Mayor Smith giving 4 his opinion that the walls of snow along the streets are too high to be successfully sur mounted in case of fire. Many citi- zens are displaying the kind of in griedients in their makeup by wield- ing snow shovels and clearing paths principally from their doors to their coalsheds.
 Four minutes later-Mayor Smith has just informed the Douglas Em- pire news bureau that he waved his personal views and hearkened to the public demand that the municipal snow blow be operated this after noon. Four stalwart horses will be employed in dragging it through the streets.
