WHAT ROOSEVELT WROTE

Since the monStrouS lndecency has
quotations. from WnaC theodore
Roosevelt WroIe before the war, TO
appear as tavOrlng the present Gov
enant OF the League OF NaUlons, let
US IN justice to that gaLant soul re-
call the actual words OF less than a
year ago, almost the last he ever
wrote, On the present scheme so far
as it has been developed. This is
what he said-and wat it meant:
Without question there is gener-
al desire for some kind of interna-
tional agreement or union or league
which will tend to prevent the recur-
renee, or at least to minimize the
scope and the horrors of such a
hideous disaster to humanity as the
world war which is now closing.
If the League of Nations is built
on a document as high-sounding and
as meaningless as the speech in which
Mr.. Wilson laid down his Fourteen
Points, it will simply add one more
scrap to the diplomatic waste paper
basket.
Let US begin by including in the
League only the present Allies. Let
us explicitly reserve certain rights
to our territorial possessions, to
our control of immigration and citi-
zenship, to our fiscal policy and to our
handling of our domestic questions
generally-as not to be questioned
and not to be brought before any in
ternational tribunal. Let us abso-
lutelv decline any disarmament pro-
position that would leave US helpless
to defend ourselves.
Let US absolutely refuse to abolish
nationalism.
If any Leaeue propaeandists wish
to quote Theodore Roosevelt on the
pending Covenant. let them quote
those words. Having orcted them
let them. then pretend that he was
in favor of any srch aboroinable
abortion AS that Covenant-if they
dare !-Harvev's Weekly.

CRIME WAVE ON IN CHICAGO
Police Busy Rounding Up All Sorts Of
Criminals After Weekend
Orgy Of Crime.

Chicago. - The unprecedented in
crease in the number Of major and
minor crimes In Chicago over the week
end was caused by curtailment of
street lighting due to the efforts of
the municipal lighting plant to con-
serve coal, according to Chief of Police
John Clarity. The entire police force
devoted its attention to the problem
OF solving the murder mysteries Of the
last two or three days, and in an eff
fort to arrest some OF the robbers,
safe blowers and automobile thieves,
who operated practically with impunity
Saturday and Sunday nights.
In the arrest Of sixteen youths,
mostly foreigners. the police stated
they had captured eight murderers
and had cleared up the mysteries sur.
rounding $50 robberies, but with that
announcement It was learned that the
murders and robberies were an accu.
mutation OF crimes of the last three
years. SO far 1872 arrests have been
made as result OF the weekend orgy
during which 40 holdups, three muir
ders, twenty eight automobile thefts,
three pistol duels. an absconding bank
cashier and numerous safe blowers
were reported to the police.

BURNED OR CRUSHED TO
DEATH BY MOB.

Women Sacrificed Own Lives to Save
Little ones-But One Stairway

Burning Building.

Vile Platte, La.-Twenty-eight per.
sons are dead here, victims Of fire and
trampling feet of a terror-stricken mob.
after a ball here which was suddenly
stopped by the alarm that the building
was burning below. At midnight all
has been accounted for and the search
in the debris Of the burned two-story
building was stopped.
Fourteen were crushed to death
when the narrow stairway leading
from the dance hall to the street col
lapsed and the frantic, fighting mob
was hurled into the street. Fourteen,
caught on the second floor in the
dance hall, were burned to death and
their charred bodies recovered.
Explosion OF an oil stove on which
a twelve-year-old boy, d. Brignac, was
making coffee in the rear of grocery
store below the dancers started the
disastrous fire.
In the midst of the music the or
chestra was stopped and tho alarm
sounded that the building was burn
ing. Most of the three hundred persons
at the dance made, a wild dash for
the single exit and in the mad STAN
pede broke the frail wooden stairway
and cut off the escape of half of the
number.
1t is reported that several mothers,
chaperouing their daughters, persisted,
but saved 20 babies which were in a
nursery room Of the dance hall. While
those in attendance were fighting like
beasts on the one exit, a narrow
stairway, to the side street, and rela-
tives from the street were attempting
to fight their way up to rescue the
members OF their families, mothers
seized babies and hurled them over
the heads of the struggling mass Of
men, women and children, to the out
stretched arms OF men below.
Some who were snatched from the
fighting heap at the foot of the stairs
died in the hands of men carrying
them high over the heads Of the crowd
in the street.
The fire originated in the rear OF
Martins grocery store, in one corner
of the De Vile Building, on the lower
floor, when an oil stove exploded.
While packed moving picture thea
ter was running in the same building,
a cool-headed leader instructed the
crowd to depart orderly. None Of
these was injured.

Memphis, Tenn.-After the adoption
of resolutions urgently requesting

the fertilizer production, the national
convention of the Farmers Education
al and Cooperative Union at the
Chamber of Commerce was brought
to close.
The resolutions declared that fer
tilizer is essentially labor-saving de-
vice for agriculture and its increased
and cheaper production will act di
reetly to lower the present high labor
cost In crop production. They urged
that "the Congress and Senate OF the
United States appropriate such money
as may DO necessary to adjust this
plant, and alco such money as may be
found necessary for production"
The convention also voted in favor
Of sending copies of this resolution to
all congressman and senators and to
the secretary Of war.
The Farmers Union is composed OF
1000, 900 members in ~ states, all OF
them connected with cooperative agri.
cultural enterprises.

ment of a set of 10 resolutions, as
favoring the Kenyon-Anderson bill

States secretary of agriculture should
be a practical working farmer; that

FOOD CONTROL

TRATIvE POWERS IN HANDS
OF ATToRNEY.GENERAL.
TO AVERT A SUGAR FAMINE
System Ut Distribution VIII Be Adopt
ed, and Il Is Probable That an In
creased Price for Product
Will Be Allowed.

Washington.-Pres. Wilson placed
the government again In control OF the
national food supply by transferring
the authority of food administrator tC
Attorney General Palmer.
Revival of the war time functions
Of Administrator Hoover resulted di
rectly from government efforts tt
avert famine In sugar, but the pow
ers delegated to the head Of the de
partment of justice will be used also
to help put down the ever-mounting
cost Of living.
For the present the attorney-general
will not put into operation all of the
machinery permitted under the execu
tive order signed by the president, but
should conditions arise to make 1t nee
essary the full pressure of all the
broad power vested in him will be
exerted to meet them.
Mr.. Palmer's staff will begin imme
diately to build up a sugar distribut
ing system which will allocate all
sugar stocks in the country. It will
provide an equitable system OF dis
tributing supplies and will defeat any
concentration or boarding, officials
said.
Plans, tentatively decided upon
provide for increasing the price Of all
sugar excepting the Louisiana crop
for which price of II cents already
has been fixed, to IL cents pound
wholesale.
Through this increase new sources
of supply are expected to be opened
With assurances that a fair margin
Of profit, said to be about S1.54 hun
dred pounds, would be allowed, sugar
refiners are ready TO enter the Cuban
market and purchase all available
stocks, 1t was stated. Thus, officials
believe, the increased price will avert
a shortage, which threatens to be-
come famine during the next &C
days.
Immediate action aslo is contem
plated in curtailing the consumption
of sugar by manufacturers whose
products are not regarded as essential
food. This will apply particularly ia
soft drink dealers and candy manu-
facturers. The abnormal increase oil
sales of these articles and the conse
quent heavy drain on the sugar sup
plies is traceable, officials declare, to
the enforcement of prohibition.
While 1t has not been definitely de
termined, the cut in sugar supplies will
be about 60 per cent Officials de
clared that II the exigencies of the sit
uation demanded, they would reduce
the allowance to soft drink and candy
plants to rs per cent Of their normal
requirements
