PRAISE FOR OUR PRESIDENT


President Wilson is praised by the
Economist as "the man who can ex-
press clearly and without bombasg
the fine ideals which are the real
aims of the Allies The article says
that, had such a spokesman been
found earlier, the sympathy and sup
port Of Russia might permanently
have been enlisted on the side of the
Allies. The paper asserts also that
President Wilson agrees with Lord
Transformers much discussed state
ment that the Allies have no desire to
deny TO Germany her place among
the great commercial communities Of
the world.
eve find" said the Economist,
athat well informed opinion in the
city is very strong on this point
that il would be very difficult II not
impossible, TO impose an economic
boycott on Germany in time of peace.
Such threats have the unfortunate eff
feet Of stimulating the war interest
Of the commercial classes in Germany
when their instincts impel them so
strongly toward the reasonable peace
that President Wilson offers"

The other night, while taking a
midnight lunch at one of Ocala,s res
taurants, we found ourself next to a
well-dressed and intelligent looking
man, whose behavior indicated good
sense and good breeding, until he was
handed a cup of coffee. Into this he
proceeded to shovel four heaping
spoonfuls of sugar. At the same time
we suppose, in the various restaur-
ants of the United States, at least
a hundred thousand other hogs pull
ed off the same stunt. Sugar is q
luxury for men-it is a necessity for
many women and all children, ana
there are families all over the coun-
try who can't obtain sugar for their
children. Such men as the person
aforesaid should have large shouts
fastened on their faces, and on the
back of each should be strapped a
board, inscribed: "I'm hog; scratch
my back with brickbat."

PUT A BRAKE ON HIGH PRICES

When some thoughtless person
happens to- ask, What has the food
administration done for the censum-
err? just call attention to the control
of prices by the administration says
Food Administrator Braxton Beach
am.
Where would the prices in this
country have gone to, if it had not
been for the food administration reg
ulations? What would have been the
price of sugar, flour, and many other
staple commodities, If the food adj
ministration regulations had not put
a stop TO speculation? The civil wal
prices are still remembered by many
older persons, and records live for
others to study. We know that prices
during war times have always been
higher, but we also know that with
out control, there is no limit to the
figures that might be fixed by spec
ulators.
The person who decries the work
of the food administration, is usual
ly the person who does not go deep
into the subject, and makes no al
lowance for war conditions We adj
NIT that price of food is higher than
during pre-war times, but We also
declare that according to all prece-
dents they would have gone much

higher, without the restraining hand
of Herbert Hoover.
Another thing the fault-findel
must remember, is that the food reg
ulations are barely six months old, or
have been in effect but about six
months. Control of prices was new
thing in this country and had to be
worked out from the finest point We
could not theorize without analyzing,
and the way to a perfect system was
covered with many difficulties. The
American people have been accustom-
ed TO but little restraint, and there
fore do not readily accept new meas
ures of control. But no one can
justly complain of the food admins
tration rulings when they consider
what might have been done by spec.
ulators, had there been no control by
government legislation"
