We entered the past crop year with
wheat supply which gave us only
20,0oo,oO0 bushels available for ex-
port When the crop year ended, we
had sent 14l 900. 600 bushels of wheat
to Europe. The American people had
saved out of their normal consumption

that the conservation Of -four brought
about by the wheatless meals, wheat

and bakeries. enabled US to send to
our armies and the allies 33, ,OOO, 900
barrels Of white flour-wheat figured
as flour. Had we exported only our
visible surplus, we would have been
able to ship less than 100000 barrels

ed hardly possible that we could bring
our total exports above 100000, 900

late Lord Rhondda. then British Food
Controller. cabled that unless We
could send an additional 75,OMOOO
bushels he could not take RESPONSE
bilIty for assuring his people that they
would be fed. The American people
responded by sending $1,000 900 bush
els OF wheat, saved from their home
consumption. between the first Of the
year and the advent Of the new crop.
BY October 10. 1918. we had already
shipped 65,96O, ,305 bushels since July
l. Absolutely the only limitation upon
our wheat exports since the latest har-
vest has been the scarcity Of ocean
tonnage. II exports continue at the
present rate. by July l of next year
we will have sent more than 237. .5OO.-

THE SUNSHINE OF PEACE

the autocratic power wisely and iusti-
fiably granted President Wilson as a
vital necessity in the prosecution of war
business. II was a test of democracy
to seek to draft twelve to fifteen million
men. II was test of democracy TO en-
power a board to say how little sugar
and how much bran hundred millions
of people should eat. 1t was a test of
democracy TO draw death zones around
free press and free speech. and bound
UP in, or relative to, this proposition OF
characterization, are many OF the other
problems of reconstruction.
Let us rebuild our American house
with the determination that its founda-
ton shall be equality. Let US try every
new sill and joist with the plumblne of
exact justice. Let US plane, sandpaper,
and paint as copartners in patriotism.
Let us partition for apartments for the
whole family with private parlors for
none. Let us put about it all the beau
tiful flowers of brotherly love we pos
sibly can And that house will endure.
It will endure as the highest example of
human wisdom and civilization. 1t will
stand as a radiant monument to our
dear ones who laid down their lives or
their careers in the cause of freedom,
for all, forever.
Two months from today, the legisla-
ture will convene in this state.
Momentous questions are coming be-
fore it. Mayor Hanson's suggestion
that lands be irrigated, dyked and
cleared for returned soldiers, will no
doubt be one of these. We may have to
bond the state to do this.
Fair industrial conditions will have
to be guaranteed.
Public utilities may all have to be
taken over by the public.
These and other matters ought not to
be controlled by reactionary forces.
There are candidates for the speaker
ship in the house who would be disas-
trous TO public peace and happiness.
The election of either Fred Adams, of
Spokane, or Robert Grass, of Seattle, to
the speakership, would be criminal
mistake in these trying days, when the
state needs men of vision and progress
sive tendencies, instead of servie tools
of Special Interests. Both these men
have unsatisfactory legislative records.
Their views are too narrow.
The war was fought to make the
world safe for democracy. Let US not
forget this, now that peace has arrived.
Our democracy must not be tainted and
in doubt. 1t must be genuine.

PEACE!

PEACE!
The world has been upside down.
Mankind has been killing off its best
lives instead of conserving them. IL
has been shooting its wealth away in
the roar of guns and bombs. Its hands
have been devoted to destruction. Its
wheels of progress have been stopped.
Its attitude toward almost everything
in this life has undergone tremendous
changes. Even its thoughts have been
twisted and warped.
Peace finds the world in chaos. Be-
fore us is new beginning, with revo-
luton, in large or small degree. prob
able in every one OF our economic, IN
dustrial and social relations, and Solo
mon himself would fail successfully to
predict where and how far we VIII go.
But, thru the confusion and un-
certainty, our duty appears clear. we
must rebuild the house in which we 1--we
more wisely and permanently. we
must have a house to fit all OF COM
mon family, not one so cramped Dy
caste architecture that a large part OF
the family must sleep and eat out IN
the woodshed. We must scrub the blood
off our doorstep and sweep the garbage
Of hate from the corners OF our rooms;
Where the battle smoke has blackened
the windows, doors and furnishings, we
must repaint in colors of beauty. And
we must dedicate the house to the blood
ily demonstrated principle that right is
might and shall prevail, in peace or
war.
America pays her share OF the awfui
price in thousands of precious lives ana
enormous treasure. Yet, altho peace
finds her undevastated, there are very
few other nations among the late belllg-
erents that are confronted today by
greater problems. Nations like Ger
many, Belgium, Austria and Serbia, for
instance, begin the new order with little
or nothing. Common misery produces
commonalty in the human animal as
well as in others. We begin with our
political, economic and industrial fac-
tons practically intact, awake and vlg-
orous. But the great war efforts IN
common have brought us closer TO-
gether and we will settle every one OF
our problems right if we hold fast 10
the fundamental principle that all men
are equal, equally entitled to consldera-
ton and opportunity.
Clearly our first problem is TO re-
oemocratize America.

The impression is widespread that
Wilson will play the most important
role in the characterization of the
European nations. whose aspirations
he has god-fathered.
Germany's challenge to the allied
political front failed as completely
as its effort OF last July to break
the military front. Unanimous
agreement on the armistice terms
at Versailles confronted Germany
with a diplomatic Chateau Thierry
beyond which II was impossible TO
