GUY EMPEY COMING ID THE ALCAzAR
"The Undercurrent" Proves
 That Gossip Can Harm Any and All People

That seething, winding, forceful current which furtively gropes it's way under the apparently smooth surface of the body of water which it calls home is one of the most dangerous things in the world; dan gerous because it is treacherous; keeping dts presence hidden from him who will soon become it's victim, yelling it's pow CTS until it's mighty tentacles reach up and slowly draw down in it's vice-like grip, happy at having added one more Co it's list of hapless victims.
 ,s And the undercurrent of talk common ey called gossip, which permeates the air of every city, every town, every block, every home, garbed in a cloak of harm lessness. and hiding it's fangs, can harm a man equally as much as the undercur- rent of water which sucks him down to fine very mire. He will listen-he will heed its call, and then-disaster.

But he ~zas wrong The undercurrent was at work and he was helpless in the clutches. If he had but stopped his ears, had re- fused to listen to the evil tales told of those who were working with him.

Surplus Army Stores.

The question of the manner OF dis
position Of surplus military supplies
especially foodstuffs, is not simple as
it seems.
On the one hand 1t would seem as
II the people, having paid profit Tor
the supplies when they were acquired
were now entitled to have them placed
on sale at reasonable prices and with
out regard to the interests of the pro-
ducers.
So far as the canned meats are con-
cerned, II appears that the problem
has been to find buyers at any price
As to the s1OO,oOO,o00 worth OF sur
plus canned vegetables, 1t Is conced-
ed that the policy was to hold them
off the market In order to protect the
producers. OF course, this means that
consumers are paying higher prices
than they would pay If this enormous
quantity of canned goods had been
dumped on the market. But the testi-
mony tends to show that II the goods
had been dumped" the truck raisers
might not have planted for canning
this season and prices might have been
still higher in the end, to say nothing
of the dislocation of a widely distri-
buted industry.
Aside from the question Of directing
sales 80 that business shall not be dis
turbed. there is the general question as
to whether sales should be made at cut
prices with view to easing the hard
ships OF consumers or whether the pol
icy should be to realize as much as
possible for the government. Either
way the people pay. The question is
whether they would prefer to pay less
for goods or more Tor taxes.
No hard and fast rule can be fol-
lowed. II would be a mistake to ruin
the machine tool industry of the coun-
try by throwing a years production on
the market On the other hand 1t
would be a grave mistake to hold back
1000 900 pairs of army shoes for the
best prices or for gradual distribution
with shoes at the prices now prevail
ing and in sight.-Washington Post.

MOP UP The soo1r TRENCHES FIST.

The w. G. 7. u. announces cam
paign against tobacco, averring that
the fight against liquor is over
It might, with all courtesy and
gentleness and with full appreciation
of the services of the w. c. I. L..
be suggested to that splendid body
! that 1t is a little previous when 1t dis
misses the liquor fight as over and
won. The Hindenourg line is broken
all right but there is a great deal o.
mopping up TO be done. Moreover
| there is a line behind the broken line
| bristling with large guns. big and
little The war isn't over yet.
The liquor interests have not ceased
to fight. They are paying lawyers and
appealing to courts as Of yore. They
| have lost out in the congress AID leg
| islatures very greatly. They do not
own those bodies boots and breaches
as in certain older days whereof most
of us wot. But they are financing a
desperate struggle. They are paying
experts" legal and medical. spending
money and hoping that their antagon-
lists will make some move that will
spill the beans.
They have history beneath this hope.
Usually the extremists do spill the
beans. That tendency among reform
ers delays reform Invariably. They
can not wait until one job is finished
before they rush to another. Granted
that the radicals lead. The radicals
also delay by unwise radicalism and
| extreme demand.
1t might be suggested to the W. c.
| T. Z. to stick to this one job until it is
! finished and nailed down. Admitting
all that can be honestly said of the
| tobacco habit and encouraging the
teaching Of it's deleterious effects in
schols and elsewhere the w. C. T. U.
and other prohibition organizations
will do well to mop up thoroughly on
the liquor conquest before seeking an
| other world to conquer.
Granting Of course that the tobacco
habit belongs with the milder vices,
that both health and pocketbook would
be the better If it did not exist there
Is no comparison to be made In COM
mon sense between the pipe or cigar
and the liquor habit and liquor traffic
We may conclude that a movement
against tobacco will move slowly and
that it does not belong in the political
field. To attempt to force IT might
embarass most seriously the more i'm
portant prohibition of the traffic and
manufacture Of liquor as a beverage.
One big thing at time. Finish the
one big job thoroughly before tacklsng
