When the government saw the possibility of the country entering into the war the first step it should have taken should have been to prevent aa ta- crease in prices of commodities The second step should have been to put behind the prison bars few food speculators--aS examples where they could not have carried on their high way rooberies; and as climax of our fatherlv governments good intention. it should now fol- low the prohibitionists recommendation; and that is to stop the Use Of grain in the nanufac- ture of liQtors during the var. Nothing could be done that would help the country as much unless r be to jail every food speculator If the bill introduced in congress to btatn that end bo= comes 8 law, it will mean countrywide prohi bitiou and would likely remain 70 after the war.
