"There Is now an elimination of speculation, eXtortionate profits, and in the refining alone the American people will save over $25,000,000 of the refining charges last year. A part of these savings goes to the Cuban, Hawaiian, Porto Rican and Louslanian producer and part to the consumer.

A RIGHT VERDICT

Last week, through well-pald coun- sel, man convicted in lower court for preaching against the draft law and advising all to resist its enforce ment, appeared before Judge Roy of Brooklyn and asked for reargument of his case.
 Judge Roy is said to have held his breath before handing down his rul- ing, and when it came those in the courtroom felt their pulse quicken and their blood jingle.
 q have no use," said Judge Roy, "for the foreigner who deprived of opportunities in the land of his birth comes to this country and pays his debt with efforts to wreck the law and urge others to do likewise"
 The appeal was denied.
 This is an expression of good Amer iccnism. In Minneapolis a similar case has gone on record. A German came to this country over 20 years ago. He was pauper at home. He come to this country penniless emi- grant. He worked on a farm and be- cause of his thrift and capability soon acquired farm of his own. Through years of toll and industry he accumu- lated quite a fortune. At home he would be considered a very wealthy man. He has retired from active life and since our declaration of war has with words and actions denounced the government of the United States. Finally the news of this mans un- grateful conduct reached the ears of the federal authorities and behind the bars of prison he will have six months in which to consider what an ingrate he is and what blatant fool he has made of himself.
 Near Dresden, in our own state, a misguided young man thought he l could denounce the state and condemn the president for involving this coun- try in war He possibly did not know how serious his offense was and what the resistance of the draft law means. He will find out.
 When Judge Roy declared his con- tempt for foreigner who was denied all opportunities at home and who came to this country to better his con- ditions and at a critical time shows his gratitude by abusive actions, he expressed the right point of view. We have no time or sympathy for such aliens. Many of the best citizens we have in the United States today, and many of the most courageous, patrio- tic and loyal, are of German descent. We do not wish to be understood as expressing contempt for our alien citizenship, but only of. this wolf breed of aliens who, after enjoying the bounty of America, seek the present opportunity to work all of the injury to our common cause possible.
 A curse on such intolerant ingrates! Memphis Commercial Appeal.

 when they are all being operated along similar lines and utilizing those which are now furnishing the mini mum of service where they will bring the maximum benefit.
 This is from all indications the purpose Of the government ffl taking over these s additional steamers to- gether with all the equipment of the four companies. If they can render greater service by transferring them to transoceanio lines that should by all means be done, but in the reor- ganization it is to be hoped that there is no intention of entirely abandon ing the coastwise trade. Such. fur nishes a tremendous relief to the rail transportation lines which are al- ready overburdened and ifzthe steam CTS taken are to -ebe put into other service every effort should be made to replace them by other vessels, even though smaller, that this help may not be disresarded.

STOPPING FOOD WASTE.

Just what is needed in order to bring about the elimination of a tre- mendous waste in foodstuffs which takes place every year is the policy adopted and enforced by the food ad- ministration in denying to dealers the privilege of doing business when the practices to which they have resorted are selfish and detrimental.
 This is well illustrated by the case in Ansonia where the license of a commission house has been revoked because a carload of potatoes was allowed to spoil because of a refusal to accept it. From the facts as sci forth this concern had ordered tho potatoes but between the time ir which the order was placed and the day on which the goods were received there had been a considerable drot in the price. To accept the potatoes would have meant some loss to tht firm so the claim was put forth tha, the potatoes had not been ordered They were refused and while allowed to remain in the car because of tn, situation caused by the unwilling ness to accept them they spoiled. . It was case where because judg. ment had failed and the firm figuret that it would have to lose by accept ing them, or at least could make n, profit, it was willing to allow tn, waste of the carload lot of food re gardIess of the effect upon the ship per or the country. That is at 1eas the view of the food administration and the result is that the concern i denied the privilege of continuing it business. It is a wise decision ani one that ought to bring about tn needed reform in that direction. Foo Is too important to be wasted in ti1a manner.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
YOU POOR FISH AL,

By Ring w. Lardner, renowned hu- morist whose You know me AI'' stories are quoted in many countries.
 In Camp, Feb. 15.
 Friend Al: :es4.. 4
 We'll Al I am sorry to hear about you getting milked out of that money but still and all you should ought to be thankful they didn't get you for the whole $100.00 instead of just $50.000 and I don't see how anybody only a F wit could invest F of their saveings in gag like that and if a man really did invent a maggatt that would draw U boats up on top of the water they could sell it te President Wilson and Frank Daniels for trillion dollars cash money and they wouldn't have to hot feet from house to house like they was trying to pedal ball bearing potato peeler or something. .e
 But listen Al if I was you I would mt go hireing no atty. and try to ,set your money back because that would be just like throwing good money after bad money as they say because by this time the guy is probably hideing in Russia sornewheres and has groweo , body else and even if you was to ge over there and see hjn you wouldn know for sure if it was him or Keren- sky or this here Don Cossack.
 But instead of that Al I would jus forget it and if you want to keep tho U boat elevator stock or whateVel you call it for a souvenir why O.. K | but you better do something with tha other $500o before somebody elst l comes along and sells you a seaso1 | ticket to the post office and if l wa 1 you Al I would do what told you t. l do last fall and that is buy one o these liberty bonds with the s50.B and if you had took my advice yol would of sank the whole s100.00 il ! them last fall and now you wouldn' 1 be crying over sour milk as they say
 but you would have safe investn1en that you don't only have to thinl i about twice per annum and that
 when you go to the bank and collee l the int money and the int. money l
 money you can spend on something
 you want and not something you go l to have, because it comes like a kin of a bonus from the govt for helpin them out when they needed it. Buying a liberty bond Al is some | thing like buying a ticket to the pa game only they's whole lot or diff ference. When 8 man buys tcks

MEETING sHlPPTNo NEEDS.

The action of the government in taking over the ships of four lines doing a, coastwise business was only what was to be expected. The coun- try is in need of all the ships which 1t can obtain. It has secured much help from the ships which have been taken from the coasting trade, from the seized German ships, from those requisitioned from Holland, those ac- quired from Japan and from those of Russia which were in the ports of this country. But even that does not supply the need entirely in spite of the additions which are being made 10 our merchant marine almost every day. through the newly constructed vessels.
 To meet requirements as nearly as possible it is necessary. that the best use should be made of all the ships which are available en this side oi .he water and that can only be done

CANNOT OVERLOOK CARE.

In connection with the speeding up of efforts in every line of industry in order to take care of the war needs it is fully recognized that an increased hazard is involved in those estab- lishments unless there is an increase in the amount of care exercised. in proportion to the business develop ment. The same determined efforts must be put forth in behalf of the prevention of accidents and fires un- der the new schedule of operations as there was under the old, which means that the increase in the size of the plant, the number of employees and the hours which tAe plant is kept running calls for like increase in protective measures. It is because of the lack of this that many of the de- structive fires have resulted.
 But in this connection it is to be realized that what is true of the in dustries is likewise true of the rail- roads. They were never before driver to the limits which they are today but that fact does not mean that there can be any let up on the part of the employees to insure safe transporta- ton, whether freight or passenger trains are involved. We cannot af- ford to sacrifice lives, rolling stock or the goods in transit. Yet that is just what is taking place when railroad wrecks occur through lack of at iention upon the part of any officials connected with the operation of the roads. There have of late been sew erat bad freight wrecks and one seri- ous passenger smashup. These should be carefully investigated ana after the fault is determined increased ef- forts must be made to prevent then in the future. We must be diligent ir our saving as well as in our produc. ton.

NEW CAMPS AND NEW LEefsLA,
 S TON.

When it has been intimated that the calling out of the second draft men was delayed to some extent by the lack of accommodations at the various cantonments, and for that reason they were called only when the movement of troops abroad made it possible to get quarters for them, 1t can be recognized that the plans which are already being carried out of establishing 16 new cantenments about the country represent a move in the right direction.
 From the experience which has been gained in the construction of these training camps it has been de- cided that all of these new canton ments will follow the same general plan. They will be arranged to ac- commodate 10000 men each, which will be decided improvement over many Of those already in existence where only little over third of that number can be accommodated The new camps will be able to take care of 600,000 men and with those already equipped it will be possible to take care of much more than a million men at one time. while they are in training.
 This indicates progress towards the time when the country will come much nearer to the maintenance o1 such an army as General Wood de- clared it ought to have in this coun. try, and. it means that as soon as these camps are ready the country ii going to be better prepared for calling cut the drafted men than it is today But while the cantonments are being gotten ready sight cannot be lost 0 the fact that the draft legislation which is still hanging fire also need. speeding up.
