DRUNK AGAIN

The United States Equalization
Board has authorized the LOUISIANA
sugar commission to send ffteen cai
loads of fine granulated sugar, car
load to each, into fifteen states OF the
Southeast. The governors OF the
states have been notified OF this' anu
the sugar is to be distributed by the
various city governments in each
state at a price, direct to consumers
far below the local price OF sugar III
anv Southern state. The Louisiana
sugar commission announces that the
nrice of sugar will be $S.S2 per nun
dred pounds f. o. b. New Orleans
which should put it in Tampa tor
something under nine cents.
South Carolina and other states
have made announcement that tney
have been advised of this quantitlve
distribution of sugar and various cit
les are making arrangements to
handle their allotment. 1t is nothing
that the state governments nave
done. nor is it anything that the gov
ernor of any state is to be given
rraise and appreciative thanks Tor
bringing about.
Judge, therefore, our surprise Oh
reading in the Pensacola News, tnat
Governor Cats has called up, by
long distance, Mayor Sanders, ana
asked about the sugar situation here'
and stated that if the people OF Pen
sacola needed any sugar he would
send them 1,4OO barrels to be dis
posed of at prices far below the cost
|of the sugar here now"
The News adds Gust what ar
|rangements have been made by the
governor to obtain the supply and as
sign a carload to Pensacolians, were
mot known by the mayor today. All
he knows is what the governor told
him and which the mayor heard with
great difficulty over long-distance
wire last night. 1t is believed, how
eyer, that a generous quantity for
distribution throughout Florida was
offered by the governor, and that
from this is the local opportionment.'
Here's a candidate-governor trying
to make it appear he has done some
thing to bring down sugar prices, and
something to give sugar to the people
.of a Florida city, when he has had
nothing to do with it except receive
the same kind of notification the gov
ernors of the other state have re,
ceived, which they gave to the press
Immediately, while he kept his notice
to himself and then tried to play
politics with it.
IS Didn't take his trusty inkstand to
run 'em with this time, but grabbed
the long distance phone and made it
hot for the profiteer and the sugar
hoarder in Pensacola, so that the deer
pe-pul might know what he is doing
to protect their interest!
And this is the man who said "The
daily newspapers are damned liars!"

GETTING ON THE NERVES

The condition or the nerves or the
American people may be described, at
this time, as being "jumpy."
This is a phenomenon not at all
peculiar to this people nor to this
time. Every great war has left the
people involved in much the same
condition, and it will take time for
the American people to regain some,
thing of their nerve control and their
old-time poise.
Perhaps the president has helped
in restoring mental equilibrium by his
prompt appearance before congress
with suggestions for relief from con-
ditions which contribute to the jump
mess of our nerves.
In any event, his address will have
a quieting effect, especial if con-
gress will devote itself to immediate
consideration of the things pointed
out by the president as necessary to
do to quiet the feeling Of unrest.
While he has not pointed out all
the elements that have contributed to
the high cost of living and unemploy-
-uent he has suggested enough to
send prices downward and to en-
courage industry if congress attends
immediate to his suggestions.
boarding is the vital point in high
cost of living, according to the presi-
dents view, and in that he will be
seconded by very large element Of
the people. 1t may be stated, how
ever, that there is every reason to
believe that the governments hoard
ing of wheat and military supplies
has been one element. But the real
boarding has been among the uncon-
scionable profteers, who are reaping
bloody fortunes from the necessities
Of the people.
The president proposes to go after
all hoarders and to make them dis
gorge, under the war times acts on
the subject. If the immense hoard
ings of which the government now
has full knowledge were thrown on
the markets, it would cause temper
airy disturbance of business, but in
the end it would reduce the price Of
the necessities of life, and business
would quickly recover. The people
would benefit, and that is the real
reason for drastic action.
If the government will throw on to
the market, in the proper way so that
there will not be further opportunity
for profiteers, its own stores of guar
anteed wheat and then follow it up
by immediate raids on the stocks
that are being held for future rises in
price, the result will be to stabilize
prices at a very much lower level.
That is the thing next to be done,
and after that the other suggestions
for regulation through licensing, and
! the separation Of producer and man
ufacturer, packer and storage opera
tor should be followed with all speed.
Activity by the government along
right lines will have much to do with
lquieting the much harried nerves of
the American people, now suffering
from reaction from war. 1t is the in.
tolerable suspense resulting from
non-action or deferred action that ag-
gravates the situation. Almost any
action is better than none. 1t is time
for congress and the government to
throw everything else aside and pro-
coed to the adoption of a program
that will bring immediate relief.-Mi-
ami Herald.

The ten days Jail sentence given
to Editor Leech of Memphis for al
legged contempt of court, can do him
no harm aside from the inconvenience
of the ten days detention. But the
judge who imposed the sentence has
done more real harm and done more
to bring the courts into contempt
than a dozen articles such as Editor
Leech published could possibly do.

The article in today's issue under
the caption of "A Southern Menace"
taken from the Augusta Chronicle,
is timely and we'll written. It states
the truth in manner that should
appeal to the judgment Of all thinking

also in that it is fair indication as
to the estimate the press Of other
