Disregard of Law Seen,

Discussing his report, Mr. Graham
said:
Tho minutes furnish evidence OF an
amazing disregard OF the law. The
Congress created a council Of national
defence to be composed OF six members
OF the Cabinet, who were to be the real
executives They were to have the as
sistance. in purely advisory capacity,
OF seven civilians to be chosen by the
President without the advice or consent
OF the Senate. The President not only
ignored but reversed the intent Of Com
gress. making the advisory committee
the real executives. clothing them with
unprecedented and almost illimitable
powers. These powers they used in such
manner as at times seriously to en-
barrass the Cabinet, as is shown by the
minutes. the members OF the Cabinet
being compelled to protest the abuse
Conceived within the law but brought
into existence in absolute violation OF
law 1t is not surprising to find that this
secret Government Of the United States
itself persistently ignored and even yto-
lated the law; that 1t allowed interested
parties to fix the prices OF war sup
piles; that II put the people of the coun-
try to !ncalculable unnecessary expense,
and carried things with a high hand
And finally. the minutes show that
while this advisory commission devised
and put into operation a scheme where
by the industries were able each to deal
with the Government as one man. the
Government as Gen. Goethals testified
was at no time able TO deal with the in
dustries through one man and, on the
contrary, throughout the war numerous
Federal bureaus were bidding against
each other for the same supplies. with
such increased cost to the Government
as was unacceptable under such a sys-
tenn. Under the ministrations of the
Council OF National Defence big bust
ness was highly organized while the
Government remained wholly disorgan-
lied throughout the war and so incapa BILE
OF protecting itself against fragrant prof
iteering."

Representative Graham Says

Aided PrOfiteers.
TRUST LAWS VIOLATED
Gary's Warning of Gross
Breach Of Statutes Is Cited
in Accusation.
Special Despatch TO THE SIN,

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Charges that
during the war and for some months
previous to the declaration of war the
advisory commission OF the Council Of
National Defence was the real governing
power OF the United States, running the
country with fragrant violation or utter
disregard of the law, were made here
to-day by Representative William j.
Graham (Penn.), chairman OF the select
committee that is investigating expen-
ditures Of the War Department. After
the days session of the committee Mr..
Graham read a report, Of which this is
one paragraph:
IAN examination of the minutes Of
the Council OF National Defence dis
closes the fact that a commission Of
seven men chosen by the President seem
TO have devised the entire system OF
purchasing war supplies planned n
press censorship; designed system of
food control and selected Herbert Hoover
as its director; determined on r day
light saving scheme, and-in a word
designed practically every war measure
which Congress subsequently enacted ;
and that 1t did all this behind closed
doors weeks and even months before the
United States declared war on Ger
many"
The advisory commission comprised
Hollis Godfrey, Howard e. Coffin. Ber-
nard NJ. Baruch, Samuel Gompers, Frank
lin II. Martin. julius Rosenwald and
Daniel Willard. Mr.. Graham charged
this commission deliberately set aside
the Sherman antitrust law and the
Clayton act. and that because OF this
proflteers fourished, prices scared stead
lily and the foundation was laid on which
was erected the structure of extortion-
alto prices that now prevail. He also
declared that r. H. Gary, head OF the
United States Steel Corporation. warned
the council that its advisory commits
sion was acting "in fragrant violation
OF the Sherman law. the Clayton law
and all the other statutes that are sup
posed to regulate business, especially
big business" But the Attorney General,
Mr.. Graham said. gave an opinion to
the effect that these violations Of law
we're matters OF national policy" rather
than questions of law. and in the light
of this the council continued to treat
the law with the same Indifference as
before.

son, and State vs. Victor Peters,
all actions for violation of the
liquor law, the defendants being
charged with bringing Intoxicating
liquor into the state, were tried
last Tuesday, and the defendants
acquitted. In two of the cases
liquor was found in possession Of
the defendants, but this of itself is
not an offense, as the offense con.
sists in transporting it into the
state. In the third case bottle of
whiskey was taken from Victor
Peterson by a deputy state sheriff,
the latter having come across from
minnesota on the same train with
Peterson. and the latter served
over month in the county jail be-
fore getting bailed out. The de-
fendant also claimed that he had
no intention of bringing the liquor
into the state, having paid his fair
to Ortonville, but fell asleep and
was carried to Milbank. where the
officer demanded the liquor from
him.

Ancient Landmark Moved

The little red beer house that
stood on the side track facing the
depot for so many years, was plac-
ed on roller skates last Wednesday
and taken to the Van Strahlen place
in the south addition where it will
be transformed into a barn.
The removal indicates that the
former owners Of the building, a
Minneapolis brewery company have
now given up hope, if they ever
had any, of the reversal of prohibi-
tion sentiment in this state, and
the sale and removal of the build
ing is but another reminder that
a revolution on the liquor cues
tion has taken place since Jim
and we were boys together. The
saloon and beer houses will be as
much of curiosity to the next gen.
Grafton as a chandler shop would
be to Us to-day.

Sixty head of Durocs were sold
aggregating $55, 900, or an aver.
of 1917 a head. The Mitchell
Bros. secured the second highest
price gilt, which was sold for
$4,000. it is second only to the
worlds grand champion SOW,
which sold for $4,25O M. HUI.
blou purchased the fifth highest
priced gilt at $1,000, also the
sixth highest at $1,000, These
are pretty good figures. Could
you think of any man five years
age investing $1,000 in one hog.
Possibly not, but to- day 81, 900 is
ouly a reasonable price. Mil
bank is fortunate in securing
two Of the best sows sold in this
sale. The hogs bring into Grant
county the best blood lines that
money can buy, and the swine
breeders of this community
have the chance to found herd
from the best stock there IS in
