Let's Hooverize Shoes.

The opening of school this fall
emphasized to many head Of a
family the increase in the price of
shoes which is by no means con.
fined to the foOtgear of the young
sters. This is one OF the anomalies
of wartime. Since the war began
the slaughter of cattle in this coun-
try and in South America has in
creased by more than 100000
heao; in the United United States
alone 100000 more cattle have
been raised in the three years since
August. 1914, than in the three
years previous. Submarine war
fare has caused the flow of South
American hides to Europe to be d.
verted to American ports, and i'm.
ports of hides via the Pacific have
also increased. Yet the price Of
shoes shows no sign Of coming
down or even of remaining sta
tionary Shoes are as necessary as
bread and if the price of bread can
be regulated, why not the price Of
shoes?

Railroads Making Good.

There is no fair-minded man
who does not admit that the rail-
roads are better sdminisfed today
than ever. They are producing a
erger amount Of transportation
than was conceivable few months
ago They have to meet the gov
ernmental requirements u the sat
isfaction Of all regulating bodies
as well as that Of the War and Navy
departments.
To parsphrase a quotation from
James j. Hill, they are making one
car do where two cars we're given
to do with before" and sending the
surplus of the equipment makers
to Russia and to France. BY strict.
est economy and efficiency and a
small increase in rates. about 5 per
cent. against SO to 500 per cent by
dealers in commodities, they are
trying to maintain their credit. We
know that the railroads have been
unpopular by tradition. They have
huge bulk Their high visibility
makes tbem>the object of at

This extraordinary, though

The same condition confronts

There are questions of the

reason is that food and all other
necessities of life have become
scarce.
It is not true that great ware
houses are stocked with food
held by remorseless spectators
in human suffering.
The stocks of food in cold stor-
age and in warehouses and in
transit were never so small in
years as they are at this very

Wasp's Menace
Tie Up Vessels
in Home Harbor
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK. Feb. 2S.--The arrival
of the steamship Finland from Liver
pool today added the sixth and last to
the American lines fleet held here by
the German submarine menace. The
Finland is the third American liner to
leave Liverpool since the beginning of
the German blockade. The New York
and Philadelphia preceded her. All
the ships Of the American line are
tied up here for the first time since
the Spanish-American war.
American shipowners today in gen.
eral approved the step taken by con-
gress looking to the arming of their
vessels, but were not all of the same
opinion in regard to what they should
do if the government should grant
them arms and ammunition. A few
said they we're satisfied to send their
vessels unarmed.

the wisdom and the courage to
end the CAUSE of the scarcity.
The CAUSE of the scarcity is
as plain as daylight.
We have not enough food and
fuel and clothing on hand to
keep prices reasonable and nor
NAL because we have permitted
the munitions makers to demor-
alize other productive businesses
and to lure labor away from the
farms and factories, thereby cur
failing production of necessities.
Soldiers Better Fed.
There are at least $4,000, 900
men under arms in Europe who
are far better clothed and fed
than an American workman can
afford to keep himself or afford
to keep his family.

the Presidents new term, be-
cause the welfare of the country
and the peace of the country i'm
peratively demand such action.
Two Great Problems.
Two great problems require
immediate solution. They can
not wait until December.
One of these is universal mil
itary training and putting the
country in a posture of adequate
defense.
The other is supplying food
and other necessities of life to
the workers Of the country at
prices within their means.
Both these matters are of the
utmost Importance and both are
pressing and immediate prob
lens.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1917-02-28

The most pressing is the ques-
tion of food supply-because
hunger cannot wait and because
hunger is ALWAYS dangerous.
Causes of Food Riots.
The mildest-mannered man
that ever lived will resort to
force to get food for wife and
children if there is no other way
he can come by food for them.
It takes weeks to pass a law,
but deprive any number of peo-
pie of food for a few days and
you will have rioting and blood
shed and defiance of all laws.

minor reasons for the cost of
living having at last climbed be-
yond the reach of the working

that failed. he has proclaimed armed

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Senators
and representatives today pondered
bills which will determine largely the
future course Of the United States in
its relations toward Germany, daily
becoming more serious. Every indica-
ton was that their action would be de.

clear cut violation of Americans rights
in the sinking of the Cunard liner La
coma with the loss of two or more
American lives.

of state department officials that the
sudden night attack on the Laconia

ernment has contended but it was
stated no additional steps would be
taken pending action by congress to

The Greensboro bank robbery vas

arrests made this month resulted
from the closing up of the resorts.
