THE BROTHERHOODS AGAIN

| The Brotherhoods have appealed to
President Wilson to reduce the High
Cost Of Living. Living on the fat of the
land, dining with kings, and hobnobing
with royalty, occupying palace in
France with an army of servants, with
modern city in the name of steamship
awaiting his beck and call, President Will
son apparently has not had time to think
of the struggles of the poor people in
their battle against the profiteers. Prof
iteers, We gods and big fishes, the trust
magnates in the days of Mark Hanna
were gentlemen as compared to the prof
iteers under Woodrow Wilson. Under
President Wilson the profiteers, whole
salers and retailers, have reaped har-
vest, harvest thousand times greater
than any one would have thought demo-
crat would have condoned, but it is fact
and the rank and file have grown almost
desperate.
While Congress has been quibbling in
the House as to who is the culprit, the
Profiteer, the Wholesaler or the Retailer,
the President has sat supinely by praying
that the heart of the world will not be
broken through the rejection of his
league of notions" But all at once the
brotherhoods appeal to the President and
the President recalls that the brother
hoods have four million votes, and that
these votes were practically purchased
for him at the time of his last election,
and that they will come in handy for him
Iself again when he perchance runs for q
third term, otherwise for son in law
Crown Prince McAdoo. So the President
gets busy at once and asks the House to
defer recessing until the high cost of liv-
ling has received attention. Thanks to
the brotherhoods. They pressed the but
ton. The President responded.

THE PROFITEERS, THE WHOLESAL.
Err, THE RETAILER

A prominent Logan citizen said to us
that it was farcical for congress
Ito waste time trying to determine who
was the culprit, the profiteer, the whole
|saler, or the retailer He stated that the
trio were organized so solidly in huge
TRUST, so thoroughly satisfactory to them
selves that the rhetoric of Woodrow Will
son could not improve upon it. Really it
lis disgusting to contemplate a republic
so thoroughly in the grip of combina-
ton of Shylock's wherein the common
people are almost at the point of suffer
ling. No wonder strikes and riots are
prevalent throughout the land, and the
end is not yet.
1t is high time the President of the
United States was laying aside his league
of notions" for little season and devot-
ing part of his time to the people of the
UNITED States. 1t is not enough to curb
the profiteer, it is not enough to curtail
the wholesaler, line of procedure must
be mapped out for all. The profiteer says
he is blameless, but his bulged pockets be-
lie his tongue. The one passes the buck
ITO the other, and ali three go on exacting
the last farthing from the people. Re-
Gently at retail convention, the price of
coffee was raised. Who got it? Our dis
tinguished friend thinks it was divided
between all three Recently the price of
cattle has dropped. Has anyone heard of
the price of beefsteak falling at all? Re-
Gently the price of sheep has taken a
tumble Has anyone heard of the price
of wool or mutton chops taking a like
fall? No! No! the only place the price
falls is at the threshold of the common
people, when they are on the selling end,
but it never falls on the buying end. If
Woodrow Wilson is going to reduce the
cost of living to "that simplicity befitting
a democratic administration" there is
plenty of room for him to work, and it is
more than high time he was getting busy.

THE SOLAR PLEXUS BLOW

Since the letters of ex-President Taft
to Chairman Will H. Hays Of the Repub-
ican national committee were laid bare
to the public it is amusing to note the alb
sence of the usual panegyrics of that dis
tinguished statesman in administration
organs 1t will be remembered that Mr..
Taft said in one of these letters:
"The situation which confronts us now
in reference to the ratification of the
treaty is one created by very serious mis-
takes Of policy committed by Mr.. Wilson
The partisan character of his administra-
ton during the war, together with his
appeal to his countrymen to elect DEM
ocrat Congress in November, 1918, Great
ed condition of personal and political
antagonism toward him among Republi-
can leaders which was shared by major
ity of the American people This was
shown in the results of the election. Not
withstanding this, Mr.. Wilson persisted
in continuing the same partisan exclusion
of Republicans in dealing with the high
ly important matter of settling the results
Of the war
"He selected a commission to which
the Republicans had no representation
and in which there were no prominent
Americans of any real experience AMI
leadership of public opinion. With such
commission, his unusual course in 60
ing abroad himself, as President, greatly
emphasized the personal element in the
framing of the treaty and intensified the
general tendency to oppose anything that
ne might bring home, because of his an
parent wish to dictate the policy of the
world and to monopolize credit for it,"

DEPICTING THE STATE PRISON

A meeting of the State Board Of Par
dons is coming up During the present
administration such desperadoes as Ma
jors, the murderer Dewey, and others
have been pardoned The terrorist Mar
tin has recently paroled himself and is
still at large, and it is now in order for
the board to turn some of the other Grim
inals loose. What use is there for pris-
on, any way, under the Bamberger adj
ministration? Well of course it serves its
purpose even if for nothing else than
giving few of the faithful good fat jobs.
In fact there would be no good reason for

have such an army of hangerson to pay
Under the Bamberger administration the
state prison is fast becoming depleted.
Anent the Martin case, isn't it stain
upon the administration? For weeks and
months he terrorized Ogden and made
frantic loving mothers and innocent chill
dren. He was finally taken, convicted
and sentenced. The next chapter reveals
the fact that like the mushroom, almost
in a single night, he became model pris-
oner, and was given liberties. Finally to
make the story short he "takes French
leave" and the prison authorities have so
much faith in him that they are loath to
sound the alarm and allow sufficient time
to elapse for him to make his clean get
away, before the city police force is noti-
fled of his escape. Imagine the chagrin
that must have crept across the face of
Chief of Police White, when the kinder
garten methods of Warden Storrs in this

Storrs have been diligent he would have
at once notified the Chief so that the
gates of the city could have been closed
up, but instead he waited for hours and
hours with the result that the desperate
made his clean get away, and is still at
large. Had the Chief been given half
chance he would have saved the good
name of the warden, but it is impossible
for the chief to do his own work and reg
ulate the work of the warden.

There are many provisions which I

Germans Ready
To Give Allies
Ships for Food
Enemy Willing to Concede
Other Issues, Secretary
of State Braun Says
Many Cities Face Famine
Supreme Councils Decision
Is Presented to Enemy
Delegation at Brussels

BERLIN, March IA (By The Associ-
ated Press s).-Under Secretary of State
Won Braun, before leaving Berlin with
the German commission to participate
in the conference at Brussels regard
ing the turning over by Germany of
her mercantile fleet and securities in
exchange for food, received the CORE
spondent and informed him that Ger
many was prepared to begin mmedi-
ately the surrender of her entire fleet
and conclude an agreement covering
the other conditions in return for q
definite agreement specifying the
amount of food deliverable until the
next harvest, the price and conditions
OF payment for it.
Regarding food conditions in Ger
many, Herr Won Braun said that Chem
nltz, Dresden and other cities of Sax
ony were on potato ration of onlv
two pounds weekly, while Cologne, AK
La-Chapelle and other western cities
had none whatever. This was due
partly to railroad strikes and frost
according to the Minister, but there
was reason to fear that when the
weather permitted the pits in which
potatoes were stored to be opened it
would be found the potatoes were badly
damaged and the stocks less than the
accepted estimates.
Milk and Butter Famine
i
butter situation was hopeless. The
weekly ration Of butter and margarine
scarcely averaged thirty-five to FORTY
grammes throughout Germany, and
milk, which was reserved entirely for
children and invalids, could not be
found IN sufficient quantities to give
TO infants OF one and two years the
daily quart to which they were lin
tied.

the last three months of 1918 in twenty
of the largest cities of Germany.
The deaths during this quarter
amounted to CLAP, as compared with
4,l76 in the preceding year, or an in

experts attributed the increase en-

to nurse children on their scanty diet,
or to keep them alive on the quart of
milk OF poor quality to which the milk
ration of infants was reduced.
Death Rate Increases
This alarming increase in infant
mortality is a development of recent
date. Infant mortality during the first
three years of the war had even de-
creased, compared with peace wears.
Tins was due to the increasing ten
dency of mothers to nurse their chill

Sims i'm 1910
Foresaw War
In Four Years
Submitted Secret Report to
Admiral i'm Command of
u. S. Fleet Then Abroad
Lauds Work of Pershing
Army and Navy Cooperation
Set Precedent, He De-
clares in London Farewell

LONDON, March 14.-Vice Admira
William S. Sims, commander of the
American naval forces in the war zone
In a farewell speech at the American
Luncheon Club to-day, said that ir
1910 when sixteen American warships
spent several weeks in European
waters ne submitted a secret report
to the admiral commanding that IT
his opinion and that of many American
and British officers war could not be
put off more than four years. He
stated that he just wanted to mention
this fact for what it was worth.
After referring to his "undiplomatic
remarks" at the Guildhall in London
several years ago, when he asserted
that Great Britain and the. United
States would be found together in the
next war, he reviewed the work of the
navy, saying it had cooperated closely
with the American army in maintain
ing communication lines.
Cooperation Sets Precedent
"There was no friction" Admiral
Sims declared. "That may seem q
platitude, but all my reading of naval
history has convinced me that this
was the first instance in the world
where an army and navy really CO.
operated. Most commanders spend the
balance Of their lives writing how the
other fellow was mistaken. l have the
greatest admiration for John Per-
shing. He had the greatest job any
commander ever had, and you would
be surprised if you knew the trouble
we had to get the army to the front
81 not only have the greatest regard
for General Pershing, but the greatest
contempt for the way certain people
in the United States are criticisng
him. If any one needs praise, he
does, with a lot of small things on
the other side barking at his heels"
Presented with Silver Service
Admiral Sims paid a tribute to his
staff, several of whom he mentioned
as having been RESPONSIBLE for the sue
cess of the American navy in European
waters, and said he considered it mot
only the best organization the United
States navy ever had, but the only
one"
John Blair MacAfee, in presenting
Admiral Sims with huge silver tea
and coffee service, the gift of Ameri-
cans in London, said the admiral had
been sent to his post not needing
diplomacy, but without being diplo-
mat he has been acutely diplomatic''
Mr.. MacAfee announced that a credit
had been arranged in New York for
Mrs. Sims with which she could pur-
chase for herself present of her own
selection.
