Guessing At Candidates
For Primary Election
Is UnWiSe
ELECTORS SEEK INFORMATION.
WHAT CAN WE SAY?

TUESDAY. September 10th, is not
far Off. and yet the public as a
whole is not fully informed as
to the various candidates, their plat
forms and purposes for election at
the PRIMARY. OF the sixty candi-
dates of the Republican party for po-
litical honors but small percentage
consider it necessary, apparently, to
inform fellow Republicans or the peo-
pie in general of their resolutions to
be of the best service to this nation
and country. Are they satisfied that
the people are disgusted with the
general management of state affairs,
and it will be an easy walkover. or
is it the laxity of 1916 that is over
coming them again which, as we
know, results otherwise than antici-
pated? What are candidates at
tempting to do-holding off express
ing themselves through the press or
otherwise. and waiting on results of
the PRIMARY, leaving electors to
guess at their intentions. etc? If
they can see into the wisdom of the
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, they would get out of
this quiescent role, this taking for
granted" position, stir themselves,
and be as active about the prelimi-
nary event as they would the final.
Chairman Hays reminds the public
as follows: "All we ask is that in
politics as on the battle field the
American voter shall fight fair. Give
us a free and open battlefield, when
there will be no underhand methods
employed, and contest on the di-
rect issues, with policies openly and
well expressed by the opposing
sides" Candidates can clearly dis
cover that voters need every bit of
information that can be given so as
to guide them intelligently, and as
the time is swiftly passing by, there
should be no hesitation in submitting
their platforms or planks in their
platforms so as to get full consid-
Grafton of qualified electors. If there
is to be what we would gladly well
come-a Republican victory-then
we must hear from the aspirants for
political honors so as to inform the
people. Our columns are always
open, and there are three more is
sues before the primary. Govern
yourselves with good judgment.

SPIRIT OF FRANCE
CLOVIS IN SACRIFICE
OF LITTLE CHILDREN

Much has been told of the spirit
of France since the war began.
Many heroic things - victories,
sacrifices, courage beyond belief,
uncomplaining resistance to the
Sow agony of hunger, cold and
personal loss, have developed from
this marvellous, idealistic devo-
ton to their own land.
But listen to this tale, We who
feel abused because your morning
is not as sweet as of yore;
Last winter sugar was scarce In
France, even as it is now, so scarce
that it was and is an almost un-
known luxury to many.
Officials of the Red Cross de-
cided to invite the school children
of Paris to luncheon. SO all the
small folks of the city were gath
cred together and feasted on the
great cups of chocolate which is
their delight, with an ample sup
plv of bread.
Then because candy is no longer
made in France, because the land
of French pastry knows pastry no
more, because there must be sur
prise, a final treat, a "bonne
bouche," each little guest, out of
the stores of the Red Cross, was
given to eat a lump of sugar, one
of the half dominoes of loaf
sugar.
There were smiles of thanks,
grateful words of delighted ap-
probation from these children Of
Paris, starved for sweets through
so many weary months.
But then-a pause. ...
A few of the scores Of children ate
their sugar joyously; others looked at
1t longingly; but most OF 1t was at
once whisked, out OF sight, clasped
closely in little hands, slipped into
tiny pockets.
Then came surprised questionings
from those giving and serving the
luncheon-and whispered, half-shy ex-
plantations in response.
Yes, yes, every one loved sugar,
but" and then 1t was discovered that
each small person had the same
thought, born of the wonderful spirit
of France, quite without other prompt
ing.
II the sugar were taken home, saved
quite carefully, it might be put into a
tiny box and sent to a soldier, fight
ing at the front for France.
We in America now are asked to
eat not more than two pounds of sugar
a month-which is far more than the
French are getting-'in order that we
may send part of our usual amount
to our own soldiers in France and that
we may share with these little French
patriots.

their strength and diminishes the sup
port they can give 10 our men in the

fessional man, the clerk, shopkeeper
and housewife must therefore be pro
tected from profiteering in any form,
including those forms which are fos-
tered by inequalities in our food and
fuel regulations. Upon Congress is the
responsibility of seeing that an aboli-
ton of meatless days is not followed
by an inofdinate advance in the price
of meat: that the compulsory purchase
of substitutes Tor wheat flour shall not
be made the means of eXtortionate

and that public utilities should be SUI

trary raising Of the price of their serv-
ices-as for example the services of

$3.50 RULINGS
STILL IN FORCE
SAYS FOOD CHIEF

A misunderstanding which threat
ems to be serious has arisen in con-
nection with a recent order of the
Food Administration, releasing house
wives of Colorado who voluntarily
placed their homes on an absolutely
wheatless basis until harvest from
their pledge. This release from the
absolutely y-wheatless-pledge was in no
way intended to carry the impression
that the $3.50 rulings have been abol
ished or that the wheat saving pro-
gram should be cast aside.
In spite of the great harvest that
has been granted to America. wheat
saving must go on" declared Thomas
B. Stearns, Federal Food Admnistra-
tor for Colorado. 'It would be the
height of short-sightedness for the
United States, with bitter war ahead
of her and possible years of short
crops, TO eat up her wheat now in
stead of creating vast national store

can draw as long as war lasts

Had Her Hands Full.

An amateur mission worker fluttered
into one of the West side offices of the
Associated Charities.
"Oh," she exclaimed, II have the
saddest case for you. Really, it Is
quite pathetic. A woman, who has
been deserted by her husband, has
five little children to support. She is
too frail to work, and I'm sure there
isn't enough in the house for their next
meal"
"But what is to prevent you from
taking charge of this case yourself?"
asked the official.

self up haughtily, II couldn't think
of it, you know. Why, I'm doing the

THICK-NECKS ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR
AWFUL TRAGEDY

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The worst
traffic tragedy in local history is
the price this community pays for
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany's persecution of trade union
employees and it's refusal to accept
decision by the National War Labor
Board, which ordered the company
to reinstate 80 members of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
Instead of obeying the order COM
pany officials questioned the Boards
jurisdiction on the ground that "the
discharged compliments were ad-
mittedly not in the company's en-
ploy," and referred the matter to the
Trustees of the B. R. T. Employees
Association, a company controlled
organization.
To maintain their rights and to
check victimization the employees
suspended work and the company or
dered train dispatcher to take out
train of five cars crowded with 900
passengers. On rounding a curve at
high rate of speed the operator
lost control of the train and it
jumped the track, killing 100 and in
juring approximately the same num-
Der. The wooden cars-operated
by the company in defiance of or
ders by the Public Service Commits
sion-burst into flames, adding to
the number of killed and injured.
The guilt of the company for this
holocaust was so evident that its
defenders and apologists remained
silent against city-wide indignation
and the management quickly COM
piled with the National War Labor
Boards order by reinstating the dis
charged employees with full senior
ity rights and the strike was de-
clared off.
The company also agrees to enter
into an agreement with the commit
tee representing these workers. Here
tofore the company has attempted to
force it's controlled "union" on en-
ployees.
