and neutral, is to have the unresuict-
ed run of our markets in competition
with each other and in competition
with the speculator in this country,
we may expect to see IS wheat befors
the year is over.
Large measures Of food control 40
not mean arbitrary interference ~Sh
the necessary economic machinery OF
trade. They mean that every brancn
be called in by the government and
forge themselves into link from
which the contemplated chain Will
protect producer, legitimate d1str1o-
utor and consumer.
"For instance, I am assured that
the American farmer did not reali~e
s130 per bushel for the 1915 wheat
harvest, yet the price Of wheat in
New York today. is 1926 per bushel
and -four is s14 per barrel, with all
its attendant hardship and dislocation
of social and industrial life.
"I have no hesitation in saying that
If the able, patriotic men represent
ing the majority Of each branch OF
the food trades were called IN and
clothed with the necessary powers to
force the small minority of skunks
that exist in every trade, one result
would be that an equally nutritious
-four based on even $3.50 wheat
could be sold in New York for a
good deal under So per barrel and
every trade would receive its legiti-
mate profit. Without control We may
see $40 -four before the year Is out
and a. total dislocation Of wages and
consequent dislocation of industry
and living.
Care for Producer.
con the other hand, If We over
come the submarine and if we open
other markets to our allies we may
see wheat at 81 a bushel and -four un-
der se. In any event, with sufficient
control, the present price Of -four can
be reduced by 40 per cent. to SO per
cent. and at the same time the pro-
ducer treated in liberal manner.
"Without any form Of control we
are likely to see an even worse sltua-
ton than the high prices prevailing

gested by 3lr. Hoover after study OF
similar organizations in the allied
countries.
1t is probable that slight changes
may be made in the bills now before
congress to transfer to the president
some Of the powers they vest in the
agricultural department tor enforce
ment OF regulations through the
emergency agency.
The senate agricultural eubcommlt-
tee agreed today on provisions OF q
food control bill to be introduced to-
morrow by Senator Gore. 1t is similar
in most respects to the 1rst OF the
food administration bills offered in
the house by Mr.. Lever and would
make Immediately available an ap-
propriation for a food survey. It also
carries the house bill measures to
stimulate production by giving the
secretary OF agriculture 1ower to see
that seeds are distributed more even
ly and more promptly. Hoading for
the purpose Of manipulating the mar
ket would be made unlawful, as
would combination to control looo
resources.
Secretary Houston in statement
today declared early passage OF the
bills essential to successful conduct
OF the war.
Until the bills are passed we can
not coordinate our efforts properly
with our allies he said.
Power for the president to give
food shipments preference over other
commodities probably will be asked
in a separate resolution instead OF IN
cooperating it in the present bills.
Congress will be asked to hurry
consideration of the bill giving the
government direction Of exports, as
administration officials feel this is one
of the most necessary Of the govern
ment measures.

resulting from the unrestrained drain
on our wheat abroad. It ls possible
that the last three months Of next
year may be bare OF breadstuffs IN
this country.
Food control does not mean bread
cards to the American peo~le. 1t
means the broad conservation Of our
food, the better handling by elimina-
ton of waste and speculation. With
proper control for America the gov:
ernment would ask only one thing
from the individual consumer-that
he eat plenty but wisely and waste
nothing, and if democracy is faith
worth defending, our people will do
this service voluntarily and willingly.
"Hoarding and speculation are rife,
yet there can be no particle OF doubt
that we have today in North America
q surplus of from 50,0OO,000 to TO-
100000 bushels of wheat beyond our
ordinary consumption and beyond the
needs Of our allies before the next
harvest comes in. Out Of the next
harvest, with no economy in consump-
loss on winter wheat we can give our
allies 400,000000 bushels OF cereals
of one kind or another.
Wide Powers Necessary.
"But to protect our consumers from
today and to legitimately expand our
exports to our allies without breaking
into our own necessary food, the gov
ernment must have widest and abso- !
lutte immediate powers. Time Is the
essence Of the matter. No European
government except Germany was able
to secure these power until after
some great disaster was irrevocable
and we sit here dumbly waiting for
disaster; then we shall scream and
criticise the government for not haV-
ing done something that they are
powerless to do.
"There has been great deal OF
discussion in the press as to my com
ing to America to take the position
of food dictator or food controller.
This Is not the case. came to WASH
ington from Europe at the request OF
the goyernmest to advise them as to
the organization necessary to set up
for proper and efficient food control.
LEGISLATION already has been In
troduced into congress looking toward
the creation of food control. The de-
tail OF means and measures must be
evolved from our own commercial In
stitutions with the experience of the
vast European laboratory Of food con-
troll problems as guard against re-
peating errors No one would be
willing to take the position as head of
such a department for food control II
It is based absolutely upon restrl3lon i
and control OF diverse interests and 1s
subject to daily harvest OF opposi- !
ton.
"I do not want the position and I
feel there are many others who could
handle its concrete problems better i
than I, and will have done my SER
vice In advice better than in execu- /
ton.
my only desire is to see the proper
fundamentally set up to meet this,
one Of our greatest emergencies, and

rience as it's head who Is willing to

original birth place, where he lived in null
tiplied millions, is now lost continent, hav-
ing been submerged and the Indian Ocean
marks the place. According to his theory
there are about 2OO,OOOOO0 Negroes in
Africa at present to say nothing Of the
other millions scattered all over the face
Of the earth. The colored folk in the
United States, he traces from Soudan and
showed some splendid types of Soudanes
Negroes 1t was among this class of Afri-
cans that the Belgians operated and he
said that the United States might have ac-
complished more had she sent missionaries
to Belgium instead of Soudan, and that,
owing to the brutality practiced by the
Belgians on the Soudar Negroes, they were
getting what they richly deserved from the
Germans. His words were not exactly in
this language, but it meant one and the
same thing. This paper fully agrees with
the idea and has no sympathy for the
Belgians.
Poor old Russia-she is rent by riot and
rebellion from center to circumference and
the end is not yet in sight. In such bad
state is she that the German government
does not even feel it necessary to take pos
session Of the country Russia in her
palmy days mistreated the Jews like the
Belgians did the Africans and like the
South did and is, the American Negroes
and now Russia, having sowed to the wind,
is reaping an awful whirlwind, and if his
tory repeats herself, the day will yet come
when the white people Of our own South
land, through misfortunes, will be similarly
punished for their brutal atrocities against
human beings We believe there is always
just retribution that follows such bra-
f9 md vxyh1 hn
ing, yet it is as sure to come as day fol-
lows night. Russia may continue an indie
pendent empire, but the probabilities are
that, if it does not become a part of some
Of the European governments, it will break
up into petty governments and never again
enjoy the world power it once did. The
factions are exhausting themselves on each
other at present and the Kaiser is enjoying

TIMES TERRIBLE TALE

Shall fallen women be interned by the
various cities of the country, where they
are found, is agitating the public mind to
quite considerable extent just now. TO
intern or Portlandize fallen women means
the corralling of them on acre tracts, where
comfortable quarters are prepared and
then all Of them put at gainful occupations.
Whether the constitutions of the various
states are sufficiently elastic to intern wo-
men, who are guilty Of no crime save that
of immortality, is question for the courts
to determine, unless habeas corpus, owing
to the exigency Of the occasion, is denied
hv the chief executive Have fallen women
no rights that the law is bound to respect,
and, if a law is passed making it a penal
offense for women and men to practice i'm
morality, and if the executors Of the law
are among those who carry on the illicit
relations then who, pray, will enforce the
law? We have little or no faith in this
interning proposition and we likewise
have little or no faith in this cleanup propo-
sition that is being talked about. General
Green says there are 23OO fallen women in
Seattle and they are directed by vice
syndicate, in which some of the officials of
Seattle are financially interested, while one
Of the papers Of the city says Green's num-
Der is low, and perhaps twice that number
city IF either or both Of them are right
it would be next to impossible to get suf-
fcient evidence to find many if any, Of
the women guilty. The reason there are
so many fallen women is because there are
so many fallen men, who are always sys-
tematically trying to knock every woman
down morally with whom they come in
contact It's the men Of the "Four Hun
dred" instead Of the women that should be
interned.
"Where Our Black Folks Come From"
was the subject Of lecture given by Prof.
Kincaid Of the University Of Washington
to the Sunday school Of the Plymouth
church Of this city, and it in substance was
the same lecture that he gave before Mt.
Zion Baptist Brotherhood, only it was il
lustrated by stereoptican views. Curiosity
took us to hear it second time and we
were delighted to be there. He did not
have so large an audience as he did at the
Mt. Zion Baptist church and we seriously
doubt if his latter audience was as in
tensely interested as his first. From the
maps and charts showing the origin and
scatterment of the Negro it was plain to
be seen that the black man in some form
had covered at least three-fourths of the
present earth, and, it is believed, that his
