sugar industry in the United States was
placed under the food administration

to control distribution and thus pre-
vent boarding.
Sugar syrups and molassos will come
under the same control as raw and re-
fined sugars.

The Leading Spirit Of
German Propagan-
da in the United
States To-day
Behind the Pretence Of
Patriotism and the
Outward Flag-Flying
of His Newspapers
Lies a Spirit That
Speaks Subtly With a
Prussian Accent
By Samuel Hopkins Adams

By Samuel Hopkins Adams
TINE leading spirit Of German
propaganda in the United States
to-day is William Randolph Hearst,
Taken at his own valuation of him
self. Hearst is a fervid patriot, bull
wary of our natio-al liberties, an ar
dent fag-haunter, the impassioned
prophet of spread-eagle platitudes, a
,.sIvart. stentorian zealot of Ameri
csnism. That is the outer Hearst. dis
played for appearances only. Within
there turks and governs Hearsts famil-
lar spirit. That spirit speaks with
German accent. Through all the agen-
cies Of which Hearst is master 1t plays
the game of the Kaiser against Amer
ics.
On what principle it would be idle to
inouire Principles do not sway Will
lam Randolph Hearst so much as poll
cies DO. Since the war began the Hearst
noljcies have reacted, if not to
the actual directions, at least to the
r IL. -..;on,l aparrx tho Ger
man Empire. Were Hearst a puppet
and the Kaiser's the mailed fist upon
the strings, the responsive journal
istic antics could hardly be more direct
or definite.
The yellow peril of Hearstism is not
localized. It is nationwide. For this
propagandist of Kultur is the stay and
support of the disloyal, pacifst and pro
German element wherever his publica-
tions circulate, which is practically the
whole area of the country. For besides
his FIVE nagazines-in which he has
thus far done little campaigning for the
enemy. bovever-he owns and controls
the following newspapers:
The Atlanta American.
The Atlantic Georgian.
The Boston American.
The Chicago American.
The Chicago Examiner.
The Los Angeles Examiner.
The NelC York American.
The New York Evening Journal.
The NelC York Deutsckes Journal.
The San Francisco E1Gminer.
His magazines are:
HeOrSt's Magazine.
Cosmopolitan.
Harper's Bazar.
Good Housekeeping.
Motor.
Puck.
The Tripod Of
Hesrsts Hearslamericanism
1t is the perhaps not wholly unpreju-
diced opinion of Arthur Brisbane.
Hearst's chief editorial writer and
himself the ostensible owner of "The
Washington Times"-which is, by the
way, strongly impregnated with Hearst
ism-that William Randolph Hearst is
the ablest and most powerful editor
in the United States" Mr.. Brisbane
might justly have added "and the most
dangerous" to a nation fighting a life
and-desth war.
The undercurrents of Hearst's in
fuence take three general directions:
FIRST: Peace propaganda on Ger
many's terms.
SECOND: Magnification IL not actual
glorifcation of Germsny's
virtues and formidable
powers, coupled with in
citement of the unthink-
ing public to hatred and

FIVE Minute Talks of National Leaders
By ARTHUR CAPPER,
Governor of KANSAS.

More and more insistently the peo-
pie are demanding that Uncle Sam
shall dissolve his criminal partner
ship with the booze business and quit
the trade OF bartender. National con-
stitutional prohibition is coming with
a rush. Nothing can stop it, You can
travel today clear across the United
States from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and never set foot off state -wide pro-
hibition territory. The United States
will be saloonless nation not later
than the year 1920
Tuesday November 7. 1916, was
Waterloo for the liquor traffic. A
tremendous blow for human welfare
was struck. That day prohibition was
the issue in twelve states and one ter
ritory. and it failed TO carry in only
two-Missouri and California. 1t was
only the huge booze vote of St Louis
that kept the saloon from being
driven out OF Missouri.
This is the age OF conservation. A
conservation policy that does not con-
serve nor foster, nor protect the
health, thrift and happiness Of the
American home-the source OF all our
strength and vigor as a nation.-is
blind folly and an unspeakable sham.

Police Believe
They Have Found
New dope" Trust

Another syndicate which has been
extensively peddling dope" in
Omaha was uncovered, police aver,
when Detectives Unger and Brink
men raided places at 1915 Davenport
and 3l9 North Thirteenth About
$500 worth of opium, morphine and
just plain Snow" was recovered, in
addition to hop layout, three or
four needles and as many hop"
guns.
Harry Rudolph. a negro. was taken
in the raid at 1915 Davenport. He
saw the officers coming and attempt
ed to warn the second place by tele-
phone. The officers, however, broke
into his room before he had con-
cluded telephoning and located the
other terminal of his calf. "Hunkie"
Faulkner and Lon Carter, both me-
groes, were taken in the raid on the
Thirteenth street place.
Police assert this is another dope
trust which has been working in
Omaha, selling drugs to white and
black alike.

II have not, sir Fisk declared with
great emphasis.
As one of the bankers for the Hud-

Mr.. McAdoo was president, Fisk said
he came in contact with McAdoo and

he has had virtually no business re.

Archibald White told him Fisk had
boasted to him that he controlled
Secretary McAdoo and had offered
late one night to summon McAdoo
from his bed by telephone. Lawson
also said he had heard Fisk was con.
nected with the peace note leak.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair. be careful
what you use Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and make the hair
brittle
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsihed cocoanut oil, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all TO pieces.
You can get this at any drug store
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han
die. Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and dam
