Without the regulatory hand
of the federal government it
would be possible for certain
men or combinations of men
in possession of necessary sup
plies to not merely outrageous
ly rob the government and the
people but to bring disaster to
the allied armies and produce
state of famine throughout
the country. They could so
sap the strength of the nation
and its partners in the war as
to turn "a prospective victory
into a humiliating defeat. This
is no idle speculation. The
danger actually impends and
all familiar with affairs real
ize it.
In the congressional debates
opponents of regulation sought
to brand the move as one to
work hardship on the pro-
ducer. Such talk is ground
less. The producer will get
good prices because the gov
ernment wishes to increase
production. The men in most
need of curbing are those seek
ing to make big fortunes
through speculation and cor
nering of products. They are
to be found in every line of
business. The really danger
Gus ones are big men, not little
men. But wherever they are
and whoever they are they
must be handled. The coun-
try is at war and must win.
Any steps necessary to that
end must be taken. The alter
native will be defeat and fur
ther consequences few people
care to contemplate.

HE COMING EDITORIAL

! m ENDLETON will shortly
T have the pleasure. of en-
= tertaining the state edi-
torial association at a session
that may go down as one of the
most important annual conven-
tions yet held by that organi-
zation. These are stirring
times and a time for co-opera-
ton and service in behalf OF
the government. Newspaper
men know this because they are
the first called upon to help.
In every move for national de-
fense, whether the subject
deals directly with armament
or a related subject, the press
is first into service. 1t is called
upon to pave the way by eX-
planning the country's needs
and by thus laying the facts
before the people insure proper
action. There are ways iii
which people should cooper
ate in handling problems aris-
ing out of the war. There are
subjects upon which newspa-
per men wish to consult SO they
may be of the best service.
Therefore the coming conven-
ton will be one of exceptional
interest, not only to newspaper
men but to others as well.
1t is up to Pendieton to take
proper steps for the entertain
ment of the visitors while they
are here July 13, Ia and Is.
