THE BUDGET AND THE WAR

In consistently hammering on the
need of a national budget system,
Representative Medill Mccormick is
criticising the Government in a valu-
able way He is not merely decrying
the faults of the present system, but
is offering remedy for those faults.
AS Mccormick points out, the change
should not be postponed because we
are at war. Anything" he says.
which replaces inefficiency with eff
cheney cannot cause delay; on the con-
trary, it must give us speed, the one
element we need to win"
There is only one argument offered
for our present lax method of deal
ing with the nations money: we have
always done so.
The greatest result-getting organi-
zation known-the American corpora
tion-uses a budget system. Many
cities, a few states and several world
powers carefully prepare a budget,
live up to it and are successful 1t
would do away with the pork barrel;
it would give a controlling brain to
the body of Americas wealth.
The very congressman who oppose
it, when forced to an issue, knowledge
its superiority. The only reason it
has not been adopted is that we. the
taxpayers and electors. are asleep.
Our representatives are representing
us; if we change. they will continue
TO represent us.

Daily Food Hint
Potatoes in England.

Potato flour is coming rapidly into
use in bread making in England. The
London Times sees a possibility that
orders will be issued soon making its
admixture with other breadstuffs a
compulsory measure in certain dis
tricts at least.
When flour is being milled at high
percentage and bread is noticeably
darker in consequence. potatoes, it is
declared by British bread making au-
thorities. would very much improve
both the consistency and appearance
of this war bread Where the admix-
ture has been made, it has found
general favor with the people, both in
bakers bread and that made at home.
The greatest difficulty in England at
the present time in regard to potato
-four is its scarcity because of the
lack of machinery for its msnufac-
ture. This is being supplied as rapid
ly as possible. Figures issued by the
British food production department
in connection with a plea for the
largest possible potato production
this year, show that nothing grown
commonly, in England yields SO much
human food per acre.
1t has been discovered that in Eng
land an area of 100 acres planted in
potatoes will provide food value suffi-
cient to maintain 400 persons for
year. while the same area of wheat
will be sufficient for 230 persons; of
barley $50 persons; of oats $50 per-
sons; and in medium grass for the
production of beef would supply but
Is persons.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
ARE RAISING WAR GARDENS

Even the students have started war
gardens. Many of them seem to feel
that they need not own ground here,
that they need not live here all the
year round nor yet know anything
about the business of gardening in
order to. be patriotic and conserve on
land and money. However. gardening
among the students is necessarily
limited to those who belong to clubs
or organizations that rent land, and
whose members are interested in saw
ing.
The Delta Tau Delta was perhaps
the first of the fraternities to start a
war garden and prepare to raise crops
against a probable food scarcity and
rise in prices next year. Sloan Nc
Cauley. one of the members who was
enthusiastic in starting the
garden. said recently: I'VE have plant
ed a fourth of an acre in potatoes and
by the tine school opens next fall
hope to have fifty bushels ready for
use. The cost to us was small and we
expect to be we'll supplied until after
Christmas. All the fellows are in
terested in the garden. and enjoy get

ting out and taking turns cultivating
it."
In addition to the potatoes, the fra
ternity has beds of lettuce, radishes.
squashes, turnips and other spring
vegetables, which will be ready for
use on the table before long.
The Sigma Chi fraternity has a
garden about 80 by 80 feet, and the
members are cultivating three or four
kinds of vegetables. The Acacias and
Sigma Phi Epsilons have also become
amateur gardeners, and are making
vegetables grow where grass, flowers
or weeds grew before.
The girls, too, have started gardens
and after the boys helped them get
the ground ready and begin planting
they were ready to do all the culti-
waiting and watchful waiting them
selves. The Alpha Phis, the Phi Mus
and the Alpha Deltas Pts have put
their back yards to practical use. The
Alpha Delta Pi garden will have
scenic effect, too, for such prosaic
things as radishes and onions have
been planted to sprout in designs
forming the fraternity letters.
And oh, yes, the Betas have a mint
bed-for spring lamb.

THE ORDEAL BY ROPE AND LIMB.

The civilized world believes in al
even-handed Justice; in an orderly
trial by jury for the man who is ac'
cused of crime. We, as American
citizens, are guaranteed the right to
a speedy and public trial, by an i'm,
partial jury" and the Constitution was
framed that we might secure the
blessings of liberty to ourselves and
our posterity."
A mob in open defiance of the
principles for which thousands of AL
lied soldiers are dying lynched Robert
P. Prayer at Collinsville, Ill. The
ordeal by rope and limb proved him
guilty; he was suspended from a
tree by a rope about his neck; he died
and therefore was guilty.
The individual members of the mob
would declare the old tests of witch
craft as barbarous, uncivilized and
unjust In the ordeal by water, the ac-
cused was bound and thrown into
the water If he sank he was innO-
cent, but if the water refused to re-
ceive him he was guilty. Would the
individual members of the mob pre-
fer being tried by their twentieth
century ordeal or by the ordeal by
water?
AS individuals the men would allow
anyone to be tried by ordeals; they
would insist that the accused have a
trial by jury. As part of mob, the
men recognize no individual rights.
A mob, according to legal definitions,
is an unOrganized assemblage of many
persons bent on unlawful violence. A
mob, therefore, knows no law, has no
law
Investigations have shown that
Prayer was not spy, and that he had
not said or done anything against the
United States. He had tried to en-
list in the Navy and had made efforts
to have his naturalization completed.
The mob has blood on its hands; yes,
innocent blood.
If Prayer had been a spy, the mob
had no right to lynch him; even spy
is entitled to a trial by jury. War does
not excuse unlawfulness. Every
citizen should do his utmost to bring
spies to justice, but no citizen can
act as judge, jury and executioner. We
have legally constituted courts to
handle such matters.
Every human being, regardless of
race. color or place of birth, is en-
titled to the protection of our laws;
every loyal American citizen is going
to see that those rights are respected.
The brutal murder of Robert P.
Prayer is being investigated thorough
ly and the guilty men must bear the
consequences.
Ordeals by fire, by water, or by rope
and limb have no place in a civilized,
God-fearing country
