FOOD PLOT TO

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 17.-United
Press. ss.)-Forecasting the conviction of
the Chicago packers under the crimi-
nal clause of the antitrust laws, A.
Mitchell Palmer, United States attor-
ney general, declared today in
speech "that the story of the Chicago
packers will amaze America"
"The wrath of the American people will
compel verdict of conviction against the
big five Chicago packers" he declared. He
stated that evidence will be presented to the
grand jury, which will result in their indict-
ment.
Palmer promised that the conspiracy Of
the meat packers would be broken up If
there was power enough to do it and de-
clared that they had apparently entered into
plan to control the table of the United
States thru corners on meat, meat products
and canned goods and other food products.
He urged that the people of the country turn
deaf ear to the "buy now" slogan of mer-
chants since it was plain to him that there is
a plan on foot to create a shortage of such
buying.

Why all the.
UNRES

Editor Seattle Star:
Believing your paper to be champion
of the people. wish TO ask a question.
Why all this unrest?
Can that question be satisfactorily an
swered. or is il simply a mental disturb
ance. which is not quite comprehensive
TO any of us? Surely. there is something
vital. and not mere illusion. that is caus-
ing so much unrest bordering upon desper-
alton. There must be a cause also a rem
edy. What is il?
| believe il is because the people are
tired of the way things are carried on by
our public officials. In Bible times, the
people were completely under the control
of public officials. compelled TO submit to
every whim. which became a law of said
officials. We are little better off today,
are We not?

The present system must be wrong-all
wrong-and the people are waking up to
this fact, which is the cause of the unrest
A change in the System is what is need

The training OF the army for the
1918 offensive was tremendous
task. For this we had to utilize the
winter OF 1ai7.1s. as the previous
one had been devoted TO training in
defense.
In the same way in which tactical
theories had then been summarized
in the Defensive Battle" so now
the offensive Battle In Position
Warfare" came into being. We had
to revive I'm the minds Of the fighting
forces all those excellent offensive
principles which inspired our pre-
war regulations. They had to be
supplemented by more recent expert
ence In actual battle. without
checking the vigor Of the attack. we
had 10 keep down losses as much as
possible. The whole line OF thought
OF the Army had TO be diverted from
trench warfare back to the offensive.
While in the defense the forces in
given sector were more evenly
distributed, in the attack, the prob
lem was to discover some decisive
point and arrange ths distribution
accordingly. In defense, command.
ing n round had lost mu n of IS
value. The Battle OF Aryas had once

were held which were completely

pie Of the State be the Legislators, and not
a few men at the State Capitol, who are
supposed TO represent the people. Every
bill presented for legislation should be
published in the daily papers. verbatim,
and voted on by the people. All lobbying
should be done by the press also, which
would eliminate days and weeks Of wrang-
ling over one single issue, and save the
State thousands of dollars
Laws and appropriations would be made
by the people, which would result in the
greatest good to the majority. The legis-
lation we now have is relic of ancient
times. We need a change-somethin
more progressive. Many very worthy
bills find their way 10 the wastepaper bas-
ket. instead of going "over the top with
out hesitation. Take the Lamping bill, for
instance. This bill was defeated by few
irresponsible representatives, who are
wholly untitled for the responsible office
Of State Senator. If, under a different
system Of legislation, the people had voted
on this bill. the result would have been
overwhelmingly in its favor thus reliev-
