FOOD BILL PASSES.

Coincident with the passage of the first
of the administrations food bills, comes
the announcement-happy omen-that the
war against the food pirates has begun
appropriately enough. in Chicago, the
Seventh largest German city in the
world, if Mayor Thomson is the peoples
representative, where indictments have
been returned against number of firms
and Individuals charging market manipu-
lation to establish unWarranted prices.
Similar indictments have peen returned in
other parts of the country. boarding is
one plan adopted, and in other instances,
the Chicago case for example, the fictitious
sale method has been followed. Not only
are these forbidden by the new food bill,
but the president is furthermore empOW-
cred to close the grain exchanges by an
amendment written into the bill Just be
fore its passage and adopted by the healthy
vote of 81 to II, if he thinks that speCula-
ton works to the detriment of the people.
AS Senator Kirby said, referring to the
amendment future gambling is an evil
recognized by the exchanges themselves.
If we stop future trading, we will do more
to protect the people and conserve food
than by any other law we can pass"
1t is to be hoped that this amendment
will be adopted by congress in conference
and that the food indictments will result in
conviction and the maximum sentence
The profteers must learn that the people
will no longer tolerate their atrocities.
Now enters the second administration
bill, providing for food control and price
fixing-the inevitable conclusion from the
Ow@eadiror promises

THE SCRATCH PAD

CONSUMPTION take a gloomy view of
the war. All history proves that war
means eventual peace.
We are very glad that the city has
marked off zones for crossing streets
in which pedestrians will be run over
at the peril of the children who are
allowed to operate automobiles.
The resolution of the state senate
declaring that its members are hu-
man beings should be given serious
consideration by a carping press that
seems to be laboring under the i'm
preston that they are small pota'
toes.
Having purchased a liberty bond,
we felt that we had done a patriotic
thing until we learned that prisoners
up north are likewise investing, and
then we realized that we we're only a
| malefactor OF great wealth.
The wildeyed, hairy socialists and
l. W. w. who are working so hard
against CONSUMPTION now, will learn
| to their horror tomorrow that the
rest of the country can not be influ-
! enced by antics that are brought on
| by cold feet.
When the door bell rang yesterday
| and we saw boy hand the Senegam-
| bianette what looked like a large bou-
quet for US, we began to feel as proud
| as the crown prince after dreaming
| he had captured Verdun, but it turned
| out to be a funnel from our good
friend Harry Rowland. In this con
nection, we may remark that we al
| ready possess two cOrksCrews, out
there our preparedness ends.

about the high cost of living. II
wasn't so long ago that the local food

for Strawberries, but the spirit OF
Lexington asserted itself and the
people severed commercial relations
with the result that strawberries are
now selling for six cents.

POOR TEAM WORK.

The crown prince has so many troubles
of his own, in the neighborhood of Nerdun
that Kaiser Wilhelm spared him the news
of another fictitious victory, and wrote the
empress instead.
These letters to the crown prince and
empress, it should be stated, are his way
of addressing the people and correspond
with Our presidents messages to congress-;
with this exception, that whereas President
Wilson wants something done, the kaiser
simply wants to "do" the people

more consistent? The kaiser says the
great British and French spring offensive
has come to a certain. conclusion" but, &C
cording to Hindenberg, it never began
the celebrated retreat upset all plans. Why
the lack of team work now? Is it because
the German people are disposed to doubt
their military triumph in evacuating over
a thousand square miles? Or was linden
berg mistaken, and does his superior officer
think that events of the past few weeks in
dictate that our allies really have been doing
something? Or does he simply mean that
the spring drive is over because the spring
is over? Will he sing the same triumphant
song about the summer in the fall?
An interesting train of speculation, but
the fact that the kaiser is able to claim a
victory when, besides his casualties. he
lost over $4,000 men as prisoners during
the time mentioned; the fact that he con
graduates the Austrians for the failure OF
the Italians, who have captured the Nodice
ridge, and have and are making important
advances elsewhere, suggests one that is
more eresting-namely, the utter ignor
ance of the people of Germany concerning
events, that they swallow such CUFF, anc
their consequent support of autocracy
believing, honestly believing, that theil
cause is winning.
