An Inauest Of the WorId.

Disraeli once said that parliament
was the great inquest of the nation,
The assembly of the league may well
become the great inquest Of the
world; the body where plans for the
betterment of mankind are advocated,
and where codes of international law
are prepared and debated.
1t may be observed that although
each member of the league is en-
titled to send three representative to
the assembly the voting is by states.
Some people have desired a great
parliament Of the people of the earth,
but as yet that is utopian. The or
ganization Of the modern world is
built upon nationality, and whatever
remote future may bring forth, at
present peace and order justice,
progress and liberty must be based
upon a concert of free nations.

General Palmer after conference
with the president which followed an
all-day deliberation of the special cab
met committee on means of reducing
the prices of necessities to the agitat-
ed public.
The department Of justice, it was
declared, will employ every resource
at it's command to ferret out and pros
ecute the hoarders of food and those
who are charging extortionate prices.
Big and little profteers are to be
prosecuted and congress is to be asked
to supplement the existing penal code
of the food act with amendments
which will enable the government to
reach it's hand out and grapple the re-
taller who in many communities is
charging exorbitant prices for food
stuffs.
Action, as Attorney General Palmer
put it, earnest, aggressive, vigorous
action" will be directed by the de-
partment of justice against all profit
eers, and it was reported that among
the first big offenders to be proceeded
against will be the big packers.
