GOVERNMENT FOOD CONTROL

Disregarding the calamity howlers who have always stood pat on the question of the inability of our gov ernment to meet with the situation as regards the control of foodstuffs; the impossible is really being accom- plished, the government has stepped into the breach and caused eessa- ton of speculation in wheat
 This at time when the greatest operations along such lines was at its height is proof sufficient that firm stand will bring the most barefaced of these gamblers in the stage of life to their knees.
 This action so quickly followed by the indictment of the clique who had millions of eggs stored away refusing to place them on the market convinces us that there will be no let up until the government has the entire food situation well under its control.
 The success of these enactments of law show very plainly that it is really within the power of our administra- tfon to accomplish many things if the petty pickering is but set aside and the club gripped with a firm hand.
 It seems that the people of the na- tion are at least to benefit in one sense through this war that we have entered into, and that is-that we are to become free from the grasp Of those men who are responsible for making it so hard for the poorer classes to live.
 We needed this great crisis perhaps to bring about such changes as are now becoming more evident each day and at least we have the war to thank for bringing us to our senses in like matters many of which will evidently follow now that the ball has been started rolling.
 The handwriting on the wall spells the regulation of gigantic monopolies such as the railroads, steel, shipping, coal, lumber. all foodstuffs. and many others that today have this country so throttled that our people are stag gering under the burden.
 The government has in the past made weak efforts to bring about change in such affairs but only to meet with failure Therefore we must at least be thankful to the medium that has brought about the start of this move in the right direction, and now that the start has been made the people are being educated to the fact that something can really be accom- plished If determination is thrown in with the effort and as their eyes have been opened it is to be expected that they will insist on the heads of our government going through until the American is once more free.

 We do not suppose that an immedi- ate migration would start from the west toward Vermont. if we gave all the glowing figures of Vermont's agri- cultural excellence and threw in a few general remarks on Vermont scales, maple sugar, pipe organs and marble to boot. but there might be a movement to copy some of vermonts methods if the Vermont idea were suf- fciently exploited
 When northern mountain state that has been farmed since long before the revolution can grow more corn to the acre than Illinois does. there must be something in the Vermont farmers bag of tricks that is worth knowing.

 Taking everything Into considera- tion the people of the United States have taken this momentous question in the proper spirit and it is safe to say that the authorities will experi enec no trouble in this matter of reg istration and the United States will show the world that this peaceful, liberty loving nation is as wonderful in the stirring time of war as in the piping times of peace.

LEGAL automobile owners who have
occasion to be out in the country at
night, report that very few Of the

by the n1er who own automobiles that
they have been held up at every turn
and forced to obey all kinds of laws
and that they now feel that the people
who drive teams should have little
taste of it, especially as having lights

There was no change in the strike
situation Friday SO far as could be seen
on the outside. The first of the week
there was a feeling that all was not
going we'll with the mems side of the
question and that the railroad would
win out after all. but during the past
few days the men have seemed to gain
great confidence that they are to be re-
instated with the most. at least, of their
demands met. Assistant Superintendent
of Motive Power A. r. Henderson. who
has been in personal charge of the sit
uation here. has been called off the job
and most of the strike breakers who
have been here have been sent back. A
bunch of Is arrived on the New York
express Thursday morning, coming in
the slecpers, but were sent back on No.
Thursday night and had to go in the
day coaches. They were evidently not
deserters as the man who had been in
charge Of the strikebreakers here got
their tickets for them. The men here
seem absolutely united in saying that
they will not go back unless they go
back With their union intact and with
shop rules to govern their work. The
Board of Arbitration is to meet on the
matter in Augusta Saturday.
