The claims for exemption that
some will make before the exemp-
ton board will be amusing and even
ridiculous, il we are to judge from
the remarks heard on the streets.
It is reported that some whose num-
bers were drawn will try to escape by
having friends intercede for them be-
fore the board. If they try this they
will be sadly disappointed for

really we cannot believe that the
patriotism of any young man in the
county, whose name was drawn, has
reached such a low stage that he
would have the members OF the ex-
emption board violate their oaths by
exempting him for any reasons other
than those prescribed by the war de-
partment. If any should try for ex-
emption through influence of friends
we imagine they would have ample
cause to regret their action, should

NO FAKE BILL

A real food bill or none at all!
Food control and living prices for
the people-or congress must tell a
hungry nation the reason why.
If the two houses in conference
fail to agree on a measure with sharp
teeth, if they pass any fake like the
present senate bill, President Wilson
will veto it.
And his veto message will put the
responsibility sQuarely up to the SEN
ate!
This is the situation in Washing
ton today. An iron note has crept
into the congressional discord. The
presidents message to Congressman
Lever, demanding power to win the
war, is the prelude to harsher things.
The plan of the senate obstruction
lists, the packing house senators and
the disguised pro-Germans, was to
prophecy food-controls failure and
then insure its failure by passing a
phoney law.
Sherman of Illinois, Reed of Mis-
souri, and others of the gray wolf
pack have said time and again that
Hoover would fail. Then they did
everything in their power to bring
their predictions true by depriving
Hoover of means to succeed.
1t was a merry game-but not so
joyous in the face of the presidents
determination to put the RESPONSE
bility where it belongs.
President Wilson is not going to
undertake food control without the
necessary powers. He is not going
to ask Herbert Hoover to assume an
impossible job.
The administration determination
has been strengthened by recent
countrywide reports showing the
people-the consumers and produc.
ers alike-have done their full duty
The farmers have raised tremend.
Gus crops in face Of the highest cost
Of production in history.
The housewives have been savina
and scrimping.
Chicago's garbage has decreased
one-third, and the amount of fat re-
AA0A 8aAud5G over OnG-nAlI.
Similar reports have come from
other cities, undisputable proof o.
the success OF the Hoover food con
servation crusade.
There are thousand other proofs
or the earnestness and devotion Of
the plain people.
But there has been no correspond
Ing fall in prices. Except for a few
minor temporary drops, the costs o.
eating has continued to mount.
While the senate was talking OF
that old fraud, the law of supply and
demand, the food spectators and
hoarders were kicking it in the rib.
and accommodating huge stores OF
which they hope to realize enormous
winter profits.
A large part of the wheat havest
has passed into the hands of the
spectators, while congress has beer
dawdling. If the senate measure
be enacted 1t would be impossible tc
DO anything about it.
The people have done their part
the farmers have done theirs. The
mouse has done it's duty. The pres.
ldent and Hoover stand ready to pro
cure results
Only the United States senate has
failed. 1t must turn to the right
or the people will ask the reason
Why IN such manner and form as
seems best.
The next few days will furnish the
answer to the question whether the
hundred million people of America
are less powerful than a handful OF
senators.-Boise Capitol News.
