PEOPLE WIN AT LAST.

Final passage of the food bill by the
senate completes the administrations food
legislation, instituted in May. Possibly
some statician will estimate how much the
American people lost by the long delay that
was engineered by the little body of wilful
men-the bill passed the senate by 66 to
Z and the house by a majority equally
overwhelming-W the proiteers ran up
their prices ad libitum and made hay, as
the saying is, while the sun shone But
even that will not dim the peoples triumph.
Victory, if late is nevertheless theirs.
In a word, the bill establishes broad
government control, for the duration of
the war, over foods, feeds, fuel, oils, natu-
raj gas, fertilizer and fertilizer materials,
and all tools and utensils required in the
production of necessities, and it is the
object OF the law not only to assure an ad-
cquate supply and equitable distribution
Of the necessities. but also to prevent hoard
ing and manipulation.
The food bill gives the government the
same power to protect the people from the
protlteers that the war bill gave it to pro-
tect itself from like spoilation.
That Hoover will be appointed food
administrator is foregone conclusion, and
even if we were not already sufficiently
acquainted with the policies Of the man,
whose only stipulation is that there shan
be no pay for his services, which are the
offering of patriotism alone to feel that the
premises of relief will be redeemed, his
condemnation by the prohteer interests
would eXalt us to that state of pleasant con
fdence.

SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE

Instead of welcoming the opportunity to
make public and collective declaration of
their loyalty to this country, many German
american organizations resent the sug-
gestion of the National Security League
that they could best assist the cause of the
United States by indicating to their
brothers in Germany that they are with
America in the war.
Julius Moersch, president of the German
American Alliance, of Minnesota. for in
stance, is quoted as saying in response to
the leagues letter: "The German-American
Alliance, of Minnesota, does not need and
reSents the arrogation of your society to
advise them in regard to conduct by
Gcrman-AmeriCans in this war"
Americans are never tired of showing
their patriotism, but they are continually
thinking of new ways to express it, both
in words and deeds. And in view of the
disquieting suggestions that have been
made in the German press Americans have
a right to know whether German
Americans are for the country to which
they came or which they left are for their
children's country or their father's The
National Security League has ayrogated
for itself no power that every loyal citizen
does not possess.
In addition to the organizations, the
editors Of some four hundred and fifty
newspapers have been asked to state how
they stand. Certain utterances, especially
the policy with regard to our allies, make
the question timely.
1t is Our belief that the German
American people are more loyal to the
United States than the German language
press of this country; but even this comfort
is taken away from us when they will not
seize every opportunity to acknowledge
their allegiance.

One Hundred and TwentyF Fourth Day
of America in the War.
LAST NIGHTS PARADE.

Pensacola, during the past year, has had
many demonstrations of patriotism, but
none that was more solemn than last nights
parade of regulars from Fort Barrancas,
our own Company I, and the men of the
selective draft
Before many days pass, they will be
called to active duty, and the march-past
typehed their entrance into he cause to
which, as President Wilson has said, it is
the privilege of Americans to dedicate
themselves, and the applause, subdued as
every deep emotion must be, of the hun
dreds who lined the streets, showed that
the people had caught the spirit of the
occasion.
Organized as it was by Major Hughes,
commander of the coast defenses here, the
parade was tribute of the regular army
to the great citizen army that democracy
has evoked to snatch the world from a
tyrant's grasp.
Marching behind the regulars, Our vol
unteers and our seleCtmen could see what
they will be before weeks have passed
while marching ahead of them and through
the long lane of people, whose faces were
TRANSPORTED with provision of the future
the army came to closer realization bf
how earnest how enthusiastic is the
nations support in this crusade
Not a man in last nights parade but is
the better for it today; not spectator but
feels surer of the future, prouder of the
present.

The SCRATCH PAD.
BY THOMAS EWING oAsNEY.

AS long as there, are any women
IN Russia, we will not give up hope.
Now that Liberia has declared war,
Germany no doubt will see the futility
of the struggle.
Mayor Thompson at first started off
very brash, but he soon found that
Chicago isn't Dusseldorf.
Ice cream sometimes gives one the
eyeache, but never cold feet, and we
hope that other organizations will fol-
low Rotary Clubs example and regale
the militia boys with the delicacy,
The continued quiet from the Irish
convention is taken as an indication
that such preliminaries as the length
OF the rounds, and the referee have
not yet been decided.
1t has been recommended that
Young Cats be examined to see if
he is mentally, morally, and physical
ly capable of commanding that COM
pany. But in case it is found that
he isn't, what then?
Twenty-Five seconds is the proper
length of a kiss, says Mrs. Eleanor
Glads. But inasmuch as one is apt
to lose track of time under such cir
Cumstances, there should be a referee
with a stop watch to sound time when
the round is over.
A DeSoto land agent has been ar
rested on the charge of using the
mails to defraud. If every land shark
were put in the cooler, increasing our
jails to the necessary capacity would
be a bigger job than Building the
army environments.
Mrs. de Gaulles wants to get out
of jail because she says it is bad
for her health Her pistol was bad
for her husbands health, but she
didn't consult his wishes, and as pros
ecuting attorney Weeks says, she is
no better than anybody else, and de-
serves no different treatment 1t is
perhaps expecting too much to hope
she will get her just deserts, but
let the law at least go through the
motions of being enforced.
