WILLIAM NJ. FRANKLIN
Editorial in Harlow's Weekly
Magazine

civilian M. Franklin, Clerk
of the Supreme Court, will be
a candidate for nomination by
the Democrats at the August
primary, although no formal
statement has been made by
Mr.. Franklin. In state political
circles it is believed that Mr..
Franklin, will have no oppo-
nent in the primary. He is an
economist in theory and prac-
tice, but has conducted his Of
flee at an expense of 100000
per annum less than it has
been conducted for previously,
although the work has in
creased. Aside from demo-
cratic speeches made during
the 1916 campaign and some
patriotic addresses since the
war commenced, Mr.. Franklin
has never been away from his
office.
Few men in the state capi-
tol building have a wider ac-
Quaintance than Mr.. Franklin.
Announcement of his candi-
dacy for a second term may be
expected later in the year, al
though he has already def
nitely told acQuaintances that
he will seek another term. He
is an earnest campaigner and
at the election of 1914 secured
the largest plurality of any
democratic candidate, being
$4,000 votes in the lead of his
republican opponent. He was
a member of the senate from
Marshall and Johnston coun-
ties at the beginning of state
hood and has never been de-
feated for office, save in the
race for congressman-at-large
where he was sixth in a field
Of more than a dozen candi-
dates" (There were twenty
eight candidates and three to
alect.)

STATES
FACE HUNGRY DAYS
FOR TWO MONTHS FOOD
SHORTAGE WILL BE
SERIOUS.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The east
crn part Of the United States faces
a food shortage likely to continue
for the next sixty days.
In making this disclosure last
night, Food Administrator Hoover
declared the situation is the most
critical in the country's history, and
that in many OF the large consum
ing areas reserve food stores are AT
the point of exhaustion.
The whole blame is put by the
food administrator on railroad con-
gestiou, which, he says, also has
thrown the food administration far
behind in its program for feeding
the allies. The only solution he
sees is a greatly increased rail move
mcnt OF foodstufts, even to the eX-
cluSiou of much other commerce.
1t was very evident last night that
the railroad administration is in
clined to resent Mr.. Hooyer's blame
OF the roads, and Director General
McAdoo declared he was ready to
provide every transportation facility
for cNpcditing food movement.
The railroad administration, he
said, had suggested that farmers be
urged to release their grain boards
that large numbers OF available cars
might be utilized in moving them.
Cereal Exports Small.
Cereal exports to the allies, Mr.
Hoover's statement says, will be As
0O0,O00 bushels short on March |,
and meat shipments also are far
short Of the amounts promised.
Inability to move the crops, Mr..
Hoover sets forth, has suspended
the law OF supply and demand and
has created a price margin between
producer and consumer wider than
it ever was before.
\ large part of the corn crop is
about to spoil because it is not NOV
ing to terminals for driving. The
percentage Of soft corn in last year $
crop, all Of which must be dried if
it is to be saved, is the largest ever
! known. Estimates place the amount
as high as a billion bushels.
The cost of grains for feeding live
stock has increased to such an ex-
tent by reason of transportation diff
hculties, Mr., Hoover says, that feed
crs are confronted with the pros
pcct of serious losses. Dairying in

LOUISIANA STATE SENATOR

Shreveport, La, Feb. 22.-S. }.
Harper, senator from the Twenty
seventh senatorial district of Louis
lana, residing at Winfield, was ar
rested here by a federal officer upon
an Indictment returned by United
States grand jury at Alexandria last
week, charging him with having put

intent to interfere with the success
of military and naval operations.
The alleged seditious utterances
are contained in pamphlet written
and circulated by him. He is also
charged with having attempted to
interfere with the draft by seditious
utterances.
He gave bond for $4,000 with his
attorney as security. Senator Har-

the charges and says they were

One Idol Amid Ruins.

A man Just arrived in Amsterdam from Berlin
reports that all save one of Germany's idols
have fallen The others, war lords and states
men. and the ruler by divine right himself, are
no longer subjects even of conversation. Hin
denburg alone remains erect amid the ruins of
the old regime, and still commands the rever-
ence and respect once accorded to every COM
handing figure of the days that are so remote,
though at the same time so recent.
Why this should be so is not easy of under
standing. Hindenburg does not look like great
man, though undoubtedly he is big man, and
there is strangely little evidence that he pos
sesses military genius. He did infict a single
crushign defeat on the Russians in the early
part of the war, but the circumstances were
peculiar and all in his favor and since then his
achievements, if any, have not come to foreign
notice, Indeed, outside of GERMANY he has been
held half-mythical parsonage. Perhaps he is
no more within Germany and in that very fact
may be the reason for his survival in popular
esteem.
A less fanciful theory of his present favor is
that it rests on his refusal to run away or hide
when the crash came. He has shown none of
the so common fear of his own soldiers and if
the allies want him they will have no difficulty
in finding him. By comparison with other war
lords, he is now heroic, however he may have
been in the past, and heroes are scarce in Ger
many.-New York Times
