MIR. Hoover shares this view. A com,

praise. Newspaper comment, how

mass of the people. To determine
how Hoover really stands with ths
people we must go deeper. Ask the
average housewife whether she fears
for the future food supply of her fam.

not, and if you inquire further into her
confidence in the future you will al.

How The Germans Deal
With Their Prisoners of War

Christian Science Monitor: The
story unfolded recently by Major Fox,
a British prisoner of war escaped from
Germany, in which he told with SIM
pie directness of his experiences dur
ing three years in German hands, and
of the things which he saw with his
own eyes in the German prison camps
and elsewhere, demands attention. A
normal human being naturally shrinks
from hearing of the things which
Major Fox related to his audience at
Newport, England, because such
things are not normal to humanity.
He shrinks still more perhaps from
discussing them. And yet just be-
cause they are not normal, the fact
that these outrages are being commit
ted and all that this fact means is apt
to be lost sight Of.
With vividness all the more re-
markable because so largely uncon-
scious. Major Fox showed, first of all,
the terrible shock with which the
British soldier, who would GLADLY
have called his foe noble" found him
out utterly ignoble. The major tells
how, in the course of the first battle
lof Ypres. he and his men captured
some 200 prisoners together with Of
fcers: how ne sympathized with the
officers, offered them refreshme nts,
told them It was "iolly hard luck for
them, and did all he could for them
and their men; how, few hours aft
erwards he was in German hands. ana
when he was brought to the officer
who was to have charge OF him, this
officer turned and spat at him full
in the face That was the beginning
of three years of insults, suffering,
and degradation, days at time In

THE CARNIVAL BANNED.

Muscatine Journal: The Retail
Merchants bureau at Davenport has
addressed a communication to tho
mayor and council asking that
licenses be refused to carnivals seek
ing to show in the up-riyer city. AS
out door amusement enterprise is just
concluding a weeks stay there. Gam
bling has been general and several OF
the so-called attractions were as shady
as the general run of such allure
ments. Fights were a nightly occur
rance and a complaint was made as
to the absence of order both inside
and outside the tents
Recently Cedar Rapids imposed .
prohibitive license upon such amuse-
ment enterprises. Otner cities are do
denying these carnival entry.
In these communities where the car
niyal has fallen into disrepute, 1t Is
not the aim of the business men and
officials to deny the Individual the OPP
portunities Of indulging in wholesome
recreation or amusements but 1t has
been held there Is nothing in the av-
erage carnival which contributes to
the general good of the community.
! Too often those who can least afford
to squander their money dissipate 1t
at these catch penny concessions. The
main source of income is direct vio-
lation of the state law which forbids
gambling. To permit of these illeg al
methods in public is to bring the law
into disrespect. The American public
has ever been tolerant of the timer
ant. He is extended liberties which
are denied the resident
War which forces the elimination
of non-essentials is putting the second
rate carnival where it belongs. There
are amusement enterprises which are
educational in tone and these should
not be permitted to share in the fate
of the worthless attractions.
