the prohibition of the manufacture OF

that the brewers were simply using
the In Dor unions for their own selfish
ends. 1t is pointed out that every

DISAPPOINTMENT AWAITS HIM HERE

That misguided lord mayor of Dublin evidently knows
as little about the modern political history of the United
States as he does about that OF the England he persists

he can get passports, or, in other words, il England will

In Ireland should be exem pied from the task of helping

Of 1~rish-Americans realize that George III. died some
years ago. and that the England Of the prison ships and

etroyers into Zeebrugge and fights side by side with our
men and the French in Flanders. We, too had orr

FOOD AND TRANSPORTATION

We are becoming acquainted by experience with some
OF the relations between food and transportation. The
wheat crop of the United States in 1917 was just about
SUFFICIENT to provide for the normal consumption Of the
United States. Under ordinary conditions with our pro-
'duton of last year we would have had just about enough
wheat to provide white flour in the usual quantities for
due chiefly to lack of transportation. There is plenty
though in some sections the surplus is less than usual.
II ships were available France and Great Britain would
be able to obtain the bulk of what they need from those
more distant parts of the world. But ships are needed
for other purposes. Soldiers must be carried across the
ocean, and supplies Of all kinds must be transported.
Hence ships cannot be spared for the longer voyages.
Accordingly, While stores of wheat are piled up elsewhere
awaiting a market, We in the United states are restrict
ing our consumption in order to spare a little for our
friends across the ocean.
Australia has 100000, 900 bushels of wheat that she
does not need and cannot use. But the journey from
Australia to England is too long that shipping cannot be
spared for it. 1t has been proposed that this Australian
wheat be shipped to the United States, the journey across
similar quantity of American wheat be shipped from At
not vet been made.
The banana is one of the most popular and useful
foods now in general use in the United States. We are
told that our supply of bananas will presently be cut off
because the ships which have been bringing US that fruit
frs1asthe tropics must he used for military work. We
are short Of sugar largely because ships cannot be spared
to bring it t. us. And so it goes. What a man eats de-
Ponds veTy-Inllch on what ocean shipping is available.

|scoundrel in Europe who fancied a
trip to our shores has had a fair field
and plenty of favor over here-be-

been the refuge of the oppressed, but
of rascals who have abused our hosS
pitality and besmirched our institu-
tons, not only from the soap box but
from the forum.
The final blame for these condi-
tons rests at the door Of naturalized
and native-born American politicians
and demagogues who. to gain and
keep office. have basely appealed to

have made possible the perpetuation
OF a babel Of tongues, a. segregation

hypen until it has become a badge Of
honor; they have groveled to every
vote except the American vote. 1t is
about time to show them what the
solid Americanism OF this country
can do to them at the polls.
Added to all these forces, selfish,
