Food Held in Storage.

The attorney general OF the United States.
views with optimistic: compla, ency The l,scov-
cry and seizure OF food held in storage, and
makes the consollng assertion that food prices
Will come down as result. He opposes price
fixing as all unwarranted interference with sup
ply and demand, on which all trade must ie-
pend. The situation will not be thus easily
disposed of.
Pursuit of prohteerng food hoarders is both
commendable and serviceable Food in storage
has another aspect, however. While much un-
doubtedly is held for speculative purposes, the
greater fact remains that most of it is put away
in times of plenty against the season of scarcity
That is the normal and natural function Of
storage, That it is turned aside by artificial
control is equally true, and it is to overcome
this unnatural condition that government is
expected to interfere.
Just now another factor adverse to low
prices at home is presented in Europe. Wheat
Director Barnes states that Europe will have
enough to feed three-fourths of its population.
This is almost the normal supply. Difficulty in
the way of lack of facilities for the proper dis
tribution of food operates against a settlement
of prices. Until order is restored and commit
nicatons opened in Europe, disturbance in
market conditions is to be expected. If Europe
bids high for our surplus, the effect on home
buyers is easy to see.
If the attorney general and his agents can
break up artificial and inscriptions manpula-
tions of food spectators by bringing out of hid
ing boarded edibes, they will do the exasper-
ated public great service. But it will not be of
especial advantage to unreasonably exhaus.
supplies that are held only against time when
food otherwise would be scarce.

Hero lust the Same,

Joseph Perry of Kansas City is dead from
the effects of hydrophoba. Perhaps the only
record of his case will be that at the hospital
and in the public archives, showing that he
contracted the disease and that it terminated
fatally, despite the administration of the anti
toxin which is expected to counteract the dread
germs. ,ut Joseph Perry was hero.
Somewhere there is girl who should re-
turn thanks every day that she lives because he
interposed between her and rabid dog, endan-
gering his life to protect her from the fate that
overlook him. He did not know her, nor is
her name yet disclosed. In the little circle of
her home life she keeps the secret, modesty
shrinking from publicity, yet failing to
acknowledge the greatest service ever rendered
her. Perry did not think of this, nor of his
own safety. He girl in deadly peril, and
barehanded tackled the maddened brute, invit-
ing the death that would have been hers had
he not intervened.
Honors of war have been paid many man
for less. Perry and his action will soon be for
gotten in the whirl Of a busy world that has
other things to talk about, but Kansas City will
do we'll if it takes some step to commemorate
his name and his deed Joseph Perry was
hero, and negro.

AVOIDING THE PLAIN ISSUE.

President Wilson's answers to the questions
submitted to him by Senator Fall shed no ad-
dtional light as to the workings of his mind.
Neither are they of nature to lend material
assistance in reaching a solution of the main
question. The president in his interview with
the committee on foreign relations, as well as
in his letter just made public, contents himself
with reierating generaties he already had
given out and avoids details entirely. In this
he shows plain disposition to insist on his
original demand, that the treaty with its con-
tents be ratified just as presented
He knows that the senate is not inclined to
accede to his proposal in this regard. Admit
ting himself not to be a lawyer of experience,
he opposes his opinion as to the constitution
ality as we'll as the advisabiity of the procedure
he has in view against the combined judgment
of group of the ablest Of Americas jurists and
barristers, men not only learned in the law but
deeply versed in international affairs. He ought
to know that public sentiment, despite the ex-
tensve and persistent propaganda of the
leagues proponents, does not support his plan.
Perhaps Mr.. Wilson is aware of all these
things, and is merely a. little reluctant to as,
sumo position nearer that of the senate The
Pit1nann resolution very likely originated not
far from the White House, and may be sign
of willingness to compromise. Whether this is
true or not, the president has not met the
issue squarely.
The people are ANXIOUS to have the matter
ended and peace declared, and it now appears
to be directly up to the senate to act What
ever form the reservations are to take, and they
will be made, should be soon decided, and
final determination of Americas attitude made
known to the world

How Soon We Forget.

Presence in Omaha of the attorney general
of the state, to cooperate with the district It,
torney of the United States in probing the food
price question, may serve to remind the older
citizens of an event Of the past. Only few
years ago, in 1918 to be exact, the legislature
sent committees to Omaha to investigate a ru-
mored food trust Many witnesses were ex-
amined mountains of testimony were reduced
to writing. and report made to the legisla-
ture, setting out that there was an illegal COM
bination in restraint of trade in Omaha, and
that the citizens were paying tribute to it
through enhanced prices of food. The legisla-
ture adopted resolution, calling on the attor
ney general and the county attorney OF Doug
las county to proceed under the law against
the offenders. And there the matter ended
No, not quite; although neither of the officers
took any step to prosecute the alleged food
trust the citizens of Douglas county reelected
the county attorney, because he was "a good
and faithful officer" How soon we forget

A TYWcol German Savant

Not even the deepest anmosites of the
will prevent the English speaking world
from paying its tribute to the mental ability
the enormous industry and the rare endow-
ments as naturalist which made the name OF
Ernest Haeckel one of world dwde recognition
passed away in 1918, however, all those hap
pier phases of his scientific achievements
would have been dwelt upon that have given
distinction to the human mind in its capacity
to wrest the secrets from nature, no matter
how minute or hidden the phenomena, and the
lifetime and untiring application of Haeckel
which resulted in the orderly and logical ar
which he made the unanswerable basis for his
signal deductions that supported the principles
discovered by others, would have come in for
the most unsanted praise.
But dying he has after the crimes Of
Germany, for which he became at once one of
the chief apologists and an audacious defender,
have been established before all the world it
is not possible to concentrate attention alone
upon those abstract qualities of mind that he
possessed and he must be Judged in his human
relationships. And so judged there will be no
doubt as to the world verdict. For Haeckel,
as is true of SO many other German profess
sors whose abilities had been admitted and
honored and even over -honored by other coun-
tries. when the world crisis came revealed so
shocking a lack of moral perceptions that his
abuse of the allies and his boastful belief that
Germany should of right by might dismember
and dominate Europe and rule the world, can
never be forgotten.
With all his industry and all his enormous
grip on the vital issues of biology Haeckel in
a social sense was but little removed from the
tiger and the gorilla in his views, as to those
forces that should govern civilization. And
this blind spot that marked mind singularly
we'll ordered otherwise, revealed as it was in
the action also of his 50 associates. who backed
up all the hideous lies of the imperial German
government with their dogmatic approval early
in August. 1914 in order to stampede the neu-
tra world, easily indicates Haeckel as the
typical German savant; true product of ruth
less, atheistic Kultur, capable of horrors not
unlike those of "Frankenstein's' monster and

voyage of the big batteships from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. dramatic spectacle in many
respects. was so easily accomplished that the
magnitude of the Panama canal achievement
might to some minds suggest the commonplace
instead of great forward step in the history
of the nations. With all their engineering abil-
ity backed by the savings of most thrifty peo-
pie, the French tried to build the canal and
failed. The republican administrations named
took up the vast enterprise and carried it to
thoroughly successful completion in less time
than was expected. A few dismal prophets pre-
dicted another abortive result. TT is due the
American people without regard to diverstles
of opinion on other subjects to say that they
were one in the resolve to build the canal.
The United States has an immense coast
