Our Enemies at Home.

From The Texarkanian.
 The ruthless robbery of the American people by American food speculators is menace far more disastrous than Germany's ruthless warfares It is far more damnable because they are depicting their own people and raping the vitality and patriotism of their own nation.
 The strong mailed hand of the government must strike down these enemies at home if it expects to vanquish the enemies abroad.
 Based upon government inspection and investigation, Herbert c. Hoover, National Food Inspector, tells Con- gress that the food speculators are right now robbing the consumers of $50,O00,000 a month in excess of le- gitimate profits. Within the past year they have lifted nearly a bil- lion dollars from the pockets of the people, thru arbitrarily raising the prices to ali abnormal figure.
 Representative Graham of Illinois startled the country by showing that these human sharks have raised food prices even above what they are in London, despite the U-boat blockade, and they have been al- lowed to do this in land of plenty and without the slightest moral or commercial reason for doing so.
