DICTATORSHIP NOT
ALWAYS Efficient

The advocates Of food dictatorship
10 be placed in the hands Of Mt.
Hoover argue against a commission
to exercise ~food-control powers on
the ground that the example OF d.
vided authority shown in the snip
ping board proves the folly OF any
but one-man power. The example Is
not well chosen. The food-control
board will act. in cases OF divided
opinion. by majority vote. The snip
ming board can act in the same way
IL il wishes. We understand thai the
shipping board. in the matter OF the
Denman-GoethaIs controversy, has
stood three to two in favor Of Den
man. but that Mr.. Denman has not
chosen or dared to make use Of this
majority to carry his scheme through.
He has preferred to befog the issue
and 10 permit the controversy to drag
itself out to uncomfortable lengths.
II is possible, of course. that the food
control board may prove 10 be equally
futile in it's operations; indeed, II
probably will if the President chooses
its membership as unwisely as he gen.
orally selects his subordinates. But
that does not change the fact that 2
board can act as speedily and as ef-
fectively as an individual if II only
chooses 70 do so. And as for the
delay which the advocates OF dicta
torship affect to fear. il is pertinent
to point to an instance where plenary
powers have not been made use Of
We refer, Of course, to the wabbling
policy of the President in respect te
the European war. He knew LONG
before anyone else. that we must en-
ter it; but he made no such decision;
and for two years we endured every
humiliation that a nation can undergo
because he would not make up his
mind and take action.

Value of Dairy Cow.

r. N. Washburn, In the Lippincott
Farm Manual, Productive Dairying,"
predicts that in a short time the United
States will be largely devoted to dairy
products. instead of beef production.
For he tells us the food value produced
by May Rilma, the Guernsey COW,
equaled In n year that of 80 steers
weighing 800 pounds apiece. 1t would
take, he us, eight acres of
good wheat land to produce an equal
food value to the years production of
Duchess Skylark Ormsby, and this is
coming to be typical of the value of
the dairy COW. Now the COW does this
by working over hay, corn, ensilage,
and various rough or by-product
grains.

FOR TEMPORARY
PURPOSES

II is a very common thing for a
man TO hold his property at n val
.uation for taxing purposes and to
hold it at q much higher valuation
when the government wants it for
public purposes. We have just wit
messed something Of the kind in the
estimates of population for conscrip-
ton purposes. The census bureau.
just now under the control of South
ern Democrats. gives the Northern
States a much larger and the South
ern States a much smaller population
than any previous rule for making
estimates would produce. The pres
ent estimates are the basis of the
quotas of soldiers to be furnished b.
the several states.

The United States and Japan have
both accumulated money since the

WAR ALONE |S
 MEANS NOW TO
 ATTAIN PEACE
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


 BRISTOL Cia Londlnl. Ian. 24.- Addressing a meeting tonight in con- nertiOn with the war loan campaign. Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the axcheouer and member of the British war council made the fol- lowing reply to President Wilson's speech to tte United tates senate:
 "The end of the war is peace The Germans made US what they have called an offer of peace. It received from the allied governments the re- ply which it deserved-the only pos sible reply
 Most of you, however, l presume, read the speech by President Wilson which appeared in yesterdays papers It is a frank speech and it is right that any member of one of the all lied governments who refer to ir should speak with equal srankness. It is impossible that he and we can look on it from the same point os view.
 "The head of great neutral power. whatever his private views may be-and l know as little as any of you what they are-must adopt a neutral attitude. America is very far removed from the horrors of this war. We are in the midst of them. Amer lca is 1eutr2l: we are not neutral. We believe that the essence of this conflict is q question which is as old as time-the difference between right and wrong. We believe. we know, that this war is a war of naked az gre essiOn. that crimes which have ac- companied tho conduct of the war. which lave been unbroken in the world for centuries. are small in com par;son with the initial crime of plunging the world into war by cold blooded calculation because those re- spOnsible thought it would pay.
 President Wilson's speech had this aiT1-to gain peace now and secure peace for the future That is ou aim, and OUT only aim. He hoped to secure this by q league of peace. and he not only smoke in favor of such a league. but he is trying to induce the American serate to take the steps necessary 70 give effect p it. It would not be right to regard this proposal as something altogether Utopian.
 You know that almost up to our own day dtelling continued and just as the settling of private disputes by the sword has become unthinkable SC. | think, we nay hope that he time will come when all the nations of the world will play the part which Crom- well described as his life work-to ac. as constable and keep peace That time will come, l hope.
 But this whole subject is not an abstract question for the future. It is a question of life and death now. In judging whether that result can be secured by his methods, it is i'm possible for us to forget the past. For generations humane men, men of good will among all nations, have strlven by The Hague convention. by peace conferences. and by all other means to make war impossible, or at least to mitigate the horrors of war. When war comes. by what means can these barriers bUili up against bar barism be made effective? They can not be preserved by the belligerents. if any of them choose to ignore them it is only from neutral states that effective sanction can be given to them.
 What happened? At tfe very out break of the war the Germans swept aside every one of these barriers

First Reports Confirmed

LONDON, Jan. 24.-The latest re- ports received in naval circles from the action in the North Sea serve only to confirm the official announcement of the admiralty It is not considered likely that many details will be added to the official report as the battle was fought in a night of pitch blackness. Naval officials are surprised that an engagement was possible under those circumstances and point out that as the combatants carried no lights. accurate te gunnery must have been exceedingly difficult
 The theory that the German destroy CTS were driven from Zeebrugge by ice IS not given much credence by naval officers who declare it is not even cer- tain that the German flotila came from that Belgian port.
 The bow of the British destroyer lost in the engagement was completely car ried away by German torpedo and, since it was considered impossible to tow her to port. she was sunk as. if she were left afloat she might become a menace to other units of the British flotila.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-The amount Of Whiskey consumed by the American people in 1916 apparently was greater than in any previous year since 1909, according to tax re- turns tc the easurv department compiled today, and the amount of revenue collected by the government on whiskey, beer and cigarettes uul - ing the year was the greatest oI. record.

 Consumption Of cigarettes in 1916 reached the highest mark ever re- corded.

WASHINGTON Jan. 24-Republican members of the house tonight formally dropped the policy of holding open pub lie conference over party matters, and by vote of 10S to 15, agreed to secret caucus to harmonize differences.
 The republican conferences have been open ever since the days of the progressive fight in the house led by Victor Murdock of Kansas. At the out set of tonight's meeting Representa- tive Humphrey of Washington moved an executive session and there was half an hours discussion that led to the final decision to clear the house galler ies and proceed in secrecy. Represen- tative Gardner of Massachusetts and IA others stood out for open sessions.
 Representative Gardner on whose petition the conference was held, urged his colleagues to abandon the policy of strict and undertaking conservatism which has been so marked of late years except during the Roosevelt'S second term" submitted a program for the party. His program included unem- ployment insurance, old age insurance, d minimum wage for women and child ren. an eight-hour day for women and children with no overtime, comI ulsory arD1tratlon or all trdnSportdlloH uls- putes, compulsory military training immediate preparedness, the budget system, and elimination of pork in public building and rivers and harbors act.

Fs GcaSCd sVHCJ y BOSTON, Jan. 24.-Jesse Pomeroy, who has been for Al years in solitary confinement in the state prison at Charlestown, was granted equal privil- eges with other prisoners by the state executive council today. Convicted of murder at 15, Pomeroy, two years later was locked up in a cell lighted from a window in the ceiling so that he might not gaze on his fellow men. He was exercised apart from the other prison CTS and barred, as far as possible, from human companionship.
 Now, at the age or 57, Pomeroy will move into a cell where he can see passersby, will be allowed to exercise with other prisoners, sit with them at church services, and at the prison en- tertainments. and will be given such light work in the prison shops as his somewhat enfeebled health will per nit Governor Mccall announced to- night that he approved the commuta- ton.
 Pomeroy was convicted of the mur- der of two children following series of degenerate acts which had terrorized %e South Boston and Dorchester dis tricts of this city. He was sentenced to be hanged, but because of his youth the sentence was commuted to soli- tary Imprisonment for life.

 NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-To give stock exchange brokers time to produce rec ords of the dealings of their customers during the time the international peace situation was a factor in the stock mar ket the rules committee of the houses suspended it's Teak" inquiry and re- turned to Washington today. They probably will come back next Tuesday, by which time it is expected the brok- CTS accounts will have been examined by the committees experts.
 The committee expects to learn from these accounts who were the big op- orators in the market just prior to the publication of the presidents peace note and will then summon these indi- viduals to find out if they had any ad- vance information on the note and if so, where they got it.
 The adjournment came after the committee had been informed by Chair 'man Samuel F. Streit of the stock ex- change clearing house committee that it would be physically impossible for the 600 or so brokerage houses belong ing to the exchange to produce the de- sired data within two weeks or a month. This was in conflict with an earlier statement by President H. G.. $. Noble of the exchange who thought the first responses might come within a day or two.
 The committee went into executive session of the subject with Messrs Streit and Noble and its experts. The result was that the committee submit ted to the board of governors of the exchange a supplemental request to be transmitted to the brokers which was expected not only to simplify the book keeping task of furnishing the desired data. but also to provide for conceal ment of the names of customers whom

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-For the second time since it began considera- tion of railroad legislation to supple ment the Adamson law, the senate in- terstate commerce committee today declined to approve a provision sug- gested by President Wilson forbidding q strike or lockout pending investiga- tion of a labor controversy. The vote was ten to five. with three democrats, Senators Underwood, Thompson, and Smith of South Carolina. voting with the republicans in the negative.
 On the first vote ten days ago the committee turned down this provision seven to three. A further effcr may be made to win the committees ap- proval and if this is unsuccessful a fight will be made for the provision when railroad legislation reaches the floor of the senate, some weeks hence.
 Tonight Chairman Newlands said the committee still was at work on an investigation but with this feature eliminated and was confident that ap- proval would be given a measure that would prevent Instructions to inter- state commerce without actually for bidding a strike.
 The action of the committee came shortly after representatives of the four railroad brotherhoods informed President Wilson, who was at the capitol consulting senators about other legislative questions, that they desired to suggest changes in the bills now pending before the senate and house committees. The president asked that suggestions be submitted in writing and promised to give them careful consideration. The brotherhood lead CTS declined to make public their pro
