AND sTILL CONGRESS DALLIEs

Some honorable gentlemen in Con-
gress seem so enamored Of their own
voices that they care not what be-
comes of the country if only they may
speak and speak and speak. There
are So many asses that just bray and
bray and bray, caring not a hang if,
meanwhile, the country goes to the
demintion bow-wows.
. Every intelligent person admits
that some effective food control is
necessary during the war, and the
fond hope was indu1ged some time
back that a food control bill would
be passed by Congress before the
first of this month. But still men,
bers of Congress talk and talk and
no nothing; and now the Senate has
just reached an agreement to vote
on the food control bill on July 21.
The Department of Agriculture esti-
mates that the farmers Of the coun-
try have responded to the Presidents
appeal for increased food production
by producing a billion more bushels
Of the principal food crops than last
years production, but if the Con-
gress does not pass Immediately the
food control bill that it should have
passed several weeks ago, Mr.. Hoov-
er, who knows more about the food
situation and needs than anybody
else, says the consequences will be
serious to both farmers and consum-
ers. In letter to the President he
says, among other things:
''The experience this year in the
rampant speculation, extortionate
profits and the prospect Of even mar
rover supplies than 1916 harvest and
carry-over, must cause the deepest
anxiety. No better proof of the
hardship worked upon our people than
the recitation Of the fact that the
producer received an average of $1.51
per bushel for the 1916 wheat har-
vest; yet wheat has been as high as
1925 at Chicago and the price of
flour has been from time to time
based upon this speculative price Of
wheat, so that through one evil cause
or another the consumer has suffer.
ed from so to 100 per cent, and the
producer gained nothing"
A question about disposing of the
present supply of whiskey, which
would not increase the food supply
by SO much as a biscuit and has no
more business in a food control bill
than a hog has with a collar and
rsecktie, engages the attention of
grave Senators, while the danger in
creases that the farmer will not get
the price he should get for his food
crops and that spectators will make
the consumer pay exorbitant prices.
And, worse than that, delay means
unnecessary loss of lives and suffer
ing.
And still asses must bray, even as
Nero fiddled while Rome burned.

The Robesonian proceeds to have
spasm or two because Charity and
Children said recently that the peo-
pie Of this country are not satisfied
that we have sufficient cause for GO
ing to war with Germany. Bro.
Sharpe reads us a lecture that re.
minds us of our school days when
the teacher got mad about something.
Keep your coat on Bro. Sharpe. This
paper was not criticising the govern
ment for going to war, it was simply
stating it's belief that the masses Of
our people do not as yet understand
the issues. Intelligent men, like Bro.
Sharpe understand, of course.-Char-
ity and Children.
Marry a spasm. We merely spoke
words of truth and soDerness, point
ing out that there are causes a-plen-
ty for going to war with Germany,
some Of them So palpable that the
wayfaring man, though a fool, cannot
fail to comprehend them-unless he
belongs to the class Of hopelessly
blind who will not see. We never
doubted Editor Johnson's loyalty, but
remarks like those in the editorial in
question were surprising, to say the
least, and calculated to mislead some
into thinking that Brother Johnson
himself did not see any cause for GO
ing to war with Germany. Brother
Johnson either just went off half
cooked, or he simply misjudges the
understanding Of the people. We miss
our guess badly if the people of this
country are not fully satisfied that
we have sufficient cause for going
to war with Germany.

The German Chancellor, Herr DIR.
Won Bethmann-Hollweg is quoted as
saying to members Of the Reichstag
Tuesday, "I repeat that the formula
Of peace without annexations is un-
acceptable to US. We cannot declare
our terms of peace. We must fight
and conquer" Nothing doing for
peace as long as the kaiser thing can
send men to slaughter. Some body
else is going to lay down terms up
on which the kaiser will be glad to
accept peace when this business. is
