entity return laden with sure cures and patent medicines
There is cureall for our present difficulty.
Shortage Of food can be relieved temporarily IN our
cities BY the simple expedent OF sending food to them
That will have to be done But unless We undertake
readiustment of our whole disrbutve system hunger
will be with US again every time economic situation
in the world is changed suddenly The submarine block
ade probably the proxmate cause OF famines IN cities
because has choked up already congested arteries
OF traffic. The basic cause is much deeper.
Rise in prices a high point can be partly explained
BY natural economic We have been shipping food
out Of the country and shipping gold into It We have
more money with which buy less food. Prof Irving
Fisher of Yale shows foodsu have risen in almost
precise proportion to the importation OF gold
That rise we probably should have been able to sus
tain without grave crisis if it had not been complicated
by manipulation of food prices private price raising ana
the complete breakdown OF the railroads in carrying
Neither of these conditions be cured without chang
ing our national policy The nation cannot expect to con-
troll food prices unless permits the organization OF
responsible food trusts and cannot expect the rail-
roads to bear burden of Industrial expansion unless
permits them to expand We have been kicking the rail-
roads and busting the trusts The result inevitably mas
been chaos in distributive system
So long stick to the idea OF punlshng organza'
tons instead of regulating them ntelsenty we shall
have with us thousands of irresponsible spectators In
stead responsible institutions Is significant
that the prices of meaa food which is controlled rather
effectvelyhave not been subject to violent fluctuations
and have not risen in proportion with other foodstuffs
Our government has persstently refused to see the
necessity Of protecting the railroads and fostering their
expansion It failed to that unless there are re-
sponsibe organizations the responsibility for economic
ills cannot be fixed any one We cannot regulate prl-
ces would because have not permitted machinery
for regulation to grow up. We cannot make the rail-
roads carry enough goods have not permitted
the railroads to expand
The only measures take now to relieve imme-
date necessity patchwork and they do not
help much The railroads have been experimenting with
embarsoes but they have only succeeded in tying up
traffic thoroughly. Our food situation is the lneVa'
BILE result of our lack of foresight

Under this caption. the Chicago Tribune
traces the food scarcity to a faulty distributive
system and blames our government for hector
ing and heckling the railroads to such an aggra-
waited extent that it has hampered their extern
sion and their ability to cope with the situation.
We have pointed out before that the High
Cost of Living is problem with thousands of
ramifications and that its solution can come only
after scientific survey of every factor that en-
ters into the production and distribution Of food
stuffs. Until this survey has been made by ex-
perts the trouble will continue to harass the
grower in period of low prices and the consum-
er in period Of high prices.
The editorial of the Tribune is reproduced be-
cause it presents one phase Of the problem.

sickness which demands immediate attention. We have

FEDERAL COURT Be
CONVENED MONDAY

War conditions will be reflected in
the Federal Court, which convenes
in Pensacola tomorrow morning for
the fall term, as there are number
of criminal prosecutions before the
court growing out of the entrance OF
the United States into the conflict.
Most important among these, prob
ably, are the several cases pending
against alleged violators of the espi-
onage act of Congress. Nearly all
Of the cases for investigation are in
West Florida, though some at Talla-
hassee will come up at the Tallahas-
see term of court.
There are a large number of cases
against men charged with selling liq-
uor to members of the military forces
of the United States while in uniform,
and these will probably be disposed
of rapidly.
Several charged with violating the
Reed amendment and the Webb-Ken-
yon act, by conspiracy to ship liquor
from one state to another will come
up for investigation, and there are
the usual number of revenue law rfo-
lations alleged. Several white slave
cases, and many Stacker prosecutions
complete the heaviest docket in many
years.
