FOOD CONTROL BILL.

It is all very well to conscript the masses; it is not bad to make women do the work of men; it is an ideal state of things to tax neces- saries; it is certainly all right to in duce the poor who have just scrinp- ed fifty bucks together for rainy day to buy a liberty bond; but it is not right CT just or equitable that profits be interefered with. It is nCfariouS and uu-American and un- patriotic to curb the natural oppOT- tunities for the spcculator to make money out of food and ammuni- tiCns; it is unjust that good cereals should not be utilized in brewing and distiIling; it is unfair and in equitable that those fine loyal patri- otic souls who gamble in grain and food products sending the price sky high and try to corner what the ma ton eats; who sell spirits and vigOr- ously inspiring beer to the people to stimulate their sentiment and the emotions along patriotic lines should be denied the opportunity that opens up before them to com bine' in a perfect social emulsion, patriotism, profits and productivity.
 Who donates so generously to war funds, Red Cross societies, to flag paradcs, to patriotic demonstrations as these? Who shouts so loudly and so demonstratively when occasion calls as these? Who decorates their places of business so nobly with American eagles. with national bunting, with the flags of the nation as these-who places their emblems of patriotism so conspicuously upon their hats and their coats as these?
 And here is Congress, here is an ungrateful administration would curtail their profits-clip their bus mess expanding wings-practically Cbliterate them from the social scheme! It's a sad world indeed!

CHINESE OFFICIALS FIRED.

PEKING, June 23.-Two high Chinese officials, Chen Chin-tao, Mi mister of Finance and Yin Julien, Vice Minister in the same depart mcnt, are seeking new jobs here to- day, following the disclosures of a bribery scandal in which they were implicated. The Vice Minister when called before President Li Yuan hung admitted that the finance de partment had accepted $100,000 (gold) from a syndicate which put forward a scheme last January for buying and melting brass coins.
 President Iii investigated the charges Then he issued a mandate dismissing the officials. Criminal proceedings may be instituted against them.

We can excuse tho private citizens, but it is amazing that men who are hailed as statesmen cannot see what is going on before their eyes Can not see that the Europe of 1913 has vanished as completely as the Flu rope of the dark ages; cannot see that the prolctariats have at last in their hands the weapons and in their hearts the resolve to do away with all the social distinctions and social inequalities; that institutions of government and laws which still seem to be solid and enduring edi- fees, are only hollow shells, mined and ready to be blown to pieces when the relief from the pressure of the outside war gives the peoples each time an opportunity to over throw and rebuild the fabrics ot society.
 This talkof autocracy still to be overthrown and democracy still to be saved and established, is proof enough of the mental incapacity of SO many men, esteemed wise, to re-
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-06-27

alize what has happened in Europe. For the war has already achieved these two tremendous results. They are accomplished facts.
 That summary is by the ableSt writer and the most far-seeing man in America That it is founded upon facts which are known to him by daily contact with an universal news service, that it is founded upon trained observation by a mind not usually obscured by inn pressionism-these are things that give that summary unquestionable weight.
 And surely it is fact, The Europe today is not the Europe of 1913 any more than it is the Europe of the dark ages. The Europe today knows, knows how, knows when and it will act accordingly.
 Consequently instead of pessimis- tic feeling, the masses not here alone but the world over should re- joice for a new social evangel is soon to be it's light and guide.

NO REASON FOR GLOOM.

Quite number of our more radi- cal exchanges are dismayed at the fact that the government has done many things of late which can hard ly be considered democratic Con scription is one thing that the labor papers all took seriously and pessi- mistically. They regarded it as Da niel Webster regarded it, and fought it until fighting it any longer was no use in the world. Efforts to establish strict censorship laws, to clip the powers of organized labor, to remove the rights which labor had secured only after endless struggle-these things occasioned considerable concern.
 But that is the narrow view. The future is all before the masses, and it is to be remolded to suit the masses.
 We believe that the role of pro phet is an idle one but beyond any doubt in every country there are portents which may be read and re- cogniZed which foretell with reason able certainty q change in things.
 Recently Brisbane in a remark able editorial in the Examiner said: "The official Washington mind, takes it for granted that when the governments have made peace and have arranged the division of what soever spells there may be, the peo- pie are going quietly back to work for their former masters, to live under the same institutions. To be in short the same nations. guided and controlled by the same financial aristocratic and diplomatic castes that have ruled them for many cen turics.
 These seem also to be the views and conceptions of the public jour nals and most private citizens, who naturally have no other source of information than the public jour. nals.

The picture is extremely entertain

Receiver to Take Charge
of $267,477.6O Assets
Found in Raid
Six Years Fight Ends
Judge Explains How Head of
So Per Cent See-Saw Turned
Losses Into Gains

Ellsworth +. Cook, from Chicago,
who for six years has been on the trail
of money invested by himself and
others in Jared Flags 81 per cent
stock see-saw, got some encouragement
yesterday in the United States Dis
trict Court
Judge A. y. Hand decided that Cook
had proved mis- case in suit insti-
tuted in 1915 10 impress what cash
and securities were discovered when
Flagg's Office was raided in 1911. IN
cidentally, Judge Hand explained how
the adroit Mr.. Flsgg turned losses
into profits.
The decree. to which the court yes
terday decided Mr.. Cook was entitled
with costs, would provide for per
manent receiver and injunction ana a
reference 20 report as TO the dlstn-
button Of the assets pa the hands oil
the temporary receiver among fiagg
customers. When arrested for the
use of the mails IN ala alleged SWIM
ding scheme Flagg had bank balance
of S154,4776U and securities worth
$4,000.
Although Flagg's conviction on this
charge was reversed on the ground
that Federal officers had exceeded
their authority in making the raid
which gave them the evidence, Judge
Hand said in his opinion that "the
securities which he had in his own
hands. Of those Of his brokers, bore
no considerable proportion TO the
stocks which, according to his books,
he was carrying for his customers"
His method in general" the court
said, twas 10 give an order 10 ms
broker TO purchase stock, and shortly
afterwards to give similar order 20
sell. He would charge one customer
with the stock purchased and another
customer with short sale OF an
equivalent amount. The effect OF this
transaction was to close the account
with his broker, for the long stock
would be used 20 cover the short-any
difference in price being adjusted with
the broker in cash. There would be
in such an instance no real stock
available 10 meet the defendants obli-
cations to his customers.
The reason that the defendant was
able to pay $4,000 to the complainant
and over 100000 10 his customers as
profits is due to the fact that but a
trihing amount OF his funds contrib
uted by the marginal customers was
ever used to carry stocks with defend
ants sub-brokers. Thus, large fund
was available. and much of it was used
for paying out so-called profits, al
though the loss occasioned by the
transaction with the sub-brokers
equalled $4,000"
