 The Food Administration will see to 1t that regulations are enforced providing a penalty for those who hoard great quantities of food stuffs for long periods of time.
 The United States does not do things in a hit-and-miss sort of way. but with system and despatch,
 despite the red-tape and the criti- cism of medddles0me Bolsheviki.
 So the people of Arkansas may be prepared to assist the government in keeping food moving in yielding implicit obedience to all regulations that may be made Sometimes they may seem hard, but war is not a picnic, and every regulation has been carefully considered from ali angles before it's adoption.

congressman ever said we had mo just cause to make war on

"Just now we are being trained to hate Germany, ana
the war we are now practically in, is a war brought upon us
by the Big Interests of this country through the press.

to our own business. "]'""f "
eve can very clearly see now that we had no just
cause to make war upon Spain in 1885, That was a war
have recently confessed in the Halls of Congress. We lost
our heads and got into a war with Spain that has cost us
billions of dollars and many thousands of precious lives,
all forthe benefit of what may be called Wall Street.
I'VE have no just cause to make war upon Germany,
and our President knows it, but the press has infamed pub
lie opinion to such an extent that he has been forced to take
steps that will lead us into war"
Now is the advice and the council of man OF an organ
that would harbor such sentiments about the drowning of Amer
lean women with their babes in their arms, not worse than pu-
Grille when the clash comes to punish a. nation like Germany for
such h~cliShness? 1t will doubtless be said that our Junior Sen
ator can not be held responsible for what this organ said. May
be not but where is there a sane man; or reasoning mind in
Mississippi who is familiar with the politics of a few years past,
was voicing it's chiefs views? So far as that organ itself goes,
amounts to nothing, but we are treating it, and we insist that
the past justifes it, as the chief medium through which our Jun
ior Senator reaches the public and therefore its utterance must
be taken to represent his views on this great question.
IN the light OF the present and in the face of the fact that
we have thousands of our own flesh and blood on the battle
lines, we submit the quotation above to the good judgment and
sense OF right OF the people of Mississippi.

1t is a fair standard to judge any man by those through
whom he speaks to the public. The medium which was estab-
|Hshed to further ones political ends and which has been ser
vile and s%ycophantc since its birth to do its makers bidding,
could hardly be expected to give utterance to a statement that
was not the sentiment of the one it is fostered and nurtured to
keep before the public eye. We think there will be found no
one to disagree with us on this point. Hence when we quote
from the editorial utterances of the Issue, it is perfectly right
to assume that that organ speaks for its chief. Under the rule
as Interpreted by the courts, we believe the Junior Senator
would be bound by what the Issue says. And the reader will
bear in mind that the Junior Senator is still using that publica-
ton as one of his chief mediums for reaching the Mississippi
public. With this premise, we quote below from an editorial
in the Junior Senator's personal ogran of date of March 20,
1917, and most respectfully ask, Is a man who entertained such
ideas that suited to- sit at the council table where plans are
being worked out for making our own boys ready for this ter

COUNTY WARRANTS AT A DISCOUNT.

County warrants are now at a discount, hence the county
may expect to pay extra for all public work done from now I'm:
til tax paying time which will be next December. Pretty en-
barrassing situation. Somebody did some bad fnanciering in
fixing the tax levy or in spending the money since the levy was
made, or maybe both CD Notwithstanding the condition of
the county's finances, the board at its last meeting by a vote of
three to two. the two negative votes being cast by the members
from districts one and five. bought a road machine which cos.
approximately $500. 1t is expected that the road machine will
require the services of a rather expensive man to run it, The
board may have made a wise Investment, time alone can tell,
but with our limited knowledge of road working and the
county's general financial condition, we must confess that it ap-
pears to us that it was a precarious venture.

M GETTING PAY.

Mr.. F. D. Lander, erst-while editor of the Hattiesburg
News but now roaming around in the pleasure gardens and en-
joying the delights of w ashngton City, admits over his own sig
nature that he is being paid to write the letters he is writing
from Washington to the Vardaman papers-and they are very
few-in Mississippi. He also says that our Junior Senator lis
not a party to the contract whereby he gets his money. May
be not, but nobody could have much interest in what Mr.. Lam
der writes except the Junior Senator or somebody very close to
him as the letters contain no news. but are made of political
bombast and thrice served denag ogic hash. If MI. Lander con-
tinues to move from one place to another, somebody may be un-
kind enough to dub him a "carpetbagger."
