THE ARMY MEATS

One OF the activities in which the government engaged with
great vgor and effectiveness at the beginning of the war was
the accumulation of vast stores OF food supplies to ration an
army OF from three to five million soldiers at home and 5000
miles and more away. In addition to the necessary supplies
sent to the allied nations and some of the suffering neutrals,
this made a heavy toll to lay upon the normal production Of
meats and other nonperishable commodities
When the armistce was signed it was evident that the
branch OF the army charged with providing food supplies had
done its part exceedingly well. The matter Of feeding an army
Is not a "hand-to-mouth" procedure. 1t requires f%orethought,
preparation and a vast amount Of stores. As a result the govern
ment has on hand a quantity of food that would have been
sufficient to carry the army for several months.
The question that naturally arose was its distribution. This
country IS charged with the responsibility of feeding some Of
the nations with which we were associated in the conduct of the
war. This must continue to be a heavy draft upon our resources,
and naturally will tend to sustain the present high prices.
Naturally the thought occurred to the war department that
the best way to dispose OF the accumulated ~foodstus would be
to divert them to the countries that we have agreed to furnish,
rather than to throw them back upon the market, and tenn
porarly derange existing conditions without producing any Sub
stantial relief.
Had the vast stores of meat been returned to the packers
or otherwise offered to the public the meat market would have
been o]verstocked for a few days, or perhaps for a few weeks.
The cattle and hogs in the ~stockyards would not have been in
demand. The farmers would have found no market for their
product. The buyers would have found themselves suddenly
with stock on hand and confronted with a tremendous loss
Perhaps some of the packing plants would have found them
selves so overstocked that Of necessity they would have been
obliged to close down.
All this would have resulted without any advantage to any
one, and without increasing the actual supply, Farmers and
stock raisers, who have paid high prices for cattle and hog feed
would have found it impossible to dispose of their product at
cost, and altogether the ultimate consumer and the farmer who
raises the cattle and hogs would have been the greatest sufferers.
The opinion of the public, we take it, is unanimous for a
reduction in the cost of living, and is thoroughly agreed that
anyone who contributes to holding prices above normal, as fixed
by supply and demand, should be shot. not at sunrise, but by
early candle light; but we might as well make up our minds to
the fact that before the welcome day of cheaper prices arrives
we must consume less, produce more and the cost of production
must materially diminish.

PEACE AT LAST

1t requires but scant imagination to visualize in the minds
eye the Hon. Bill Hayes holding aoft the statute creating the
state and county boards of elections, and pointing a long, lean
finger to the sections committing the county boards to an honest
vote and an honest count, and the selection of election officers
who will perform their sworn duty without fear or favor, as
Capt. Bracken and Lit Pardue signed the commissions OF Milton
Anderson and Dave Puryear, to say nothing of the solemn and
sacred ceremony that marked the reconsecration Of Harry True
for another term in his high and holy office, as he was led into
the temple on Capitol hill by Deacon Quinn to assume his vows
Heretofore the county election machinery has been cursed
with a division Of allegiance, one Democrat belonging to one Of
the more numerous factions, and the other Democratic member
belonging to the other, with the Republican usually aftihatng
with the highest bidder, according to the precepts OF the average
office-seeking Southern Republican. No longer will there be
chickering's and contentious or vain and tragic struggles for
advantage or control. No longer will there be unseemly remon-
STRANGE on the part Of one commissioner when another, ambitious
to make the majority big and decisive, resorts to practical IT
not praseworthy means to make at least a part OF the world safe
for his particular brand Of democracy. Verify 1t renamed tor
