says. For this the consumer was
forced to pay at least $14.50. Had the
miller, jobber, wholesaler, and retailer
been content with reasonable margins,
this flour might have been available
to the purchaser at $11.5a
''However, the product was saddled
with so many extortionate profits in
passing from the mills through the va
rious distributing agencies, that the
ultimate cost to the consumer was
more than So in excess of a reasonable
selling price"
With respect to the milling COM
panies, the survey alleges: "That the
profits had advanced in 1917 practi-
cally 375 per cent over 1913 earnings;
that the cost of operation, which in
cludes labor cost, advanced only 20
per cent in the same period, or only
five cents per barrel, as contrasted
with an increase in millers' profits of
40 cents q barrel"

Imately $18,OO0,O0O. or tax of nearly

Former Republican Leader Mann of

opposition. He said in part:
"Think what it means Here is a
proposition which would prevent an
Irishman fleeing from Ireland, from
entering the United States-which
would prevent some man from Cen
trail America, prosecuted by the gov
eminent there, from fleeing to the
United sStates-which would prevent
any man from the Balkans who might
be prosecuted by his revolutionary gov
eminent, temporary in character, from
fleeing to the United States! Have we
reached the point where we propose
to uphold the autocratic power of any
temporary government in the world
and forbid the people who seek to flee
from them entering our borders?
Nor have 1 reached the point yet
where / am in favor of SO increasing
and extending the activities of the
state department that every American
citizen has to kotow to the state
department, which can let him go or
keep him home arbitrarily, without
reason, just as it pleases."

Why We Need More "Rubes" on the Farms

~ XCERPTS from contribution on
T. the senate floor by Senators Ken
Won Of Iowa and Sherman of Illinois:
Mr.. Kenyon-When a boy getting
$40 a month and his board on the farm
can go to the city and get 81 or %
a day. and only work eight hours a
day, you cannot keep the boy on the
farm.
Mr.. SLerman-The cause is basil
cally deeper than equal compensation.
If the compensation on the farm were
precisely what it is in the cities a
large portion of the population is OF
such a morbid instinct or habit OF
life that you could not take a dweller
in the city out on the farm and make
him stay. There are not enough cigar
stores, not enough grafonolas, not
enough confectionery establishments,
and ballet dancers to suit their shab-
its Of life and modes Of thought.

Mr.. Sherman-And pool rooms, am
sorry to say, which are worse than any
of the others, not even excepting the
last I named; and until that IS
changed and until their natures are

publicity literature was sent to them
for posting and distribution, not only
in public buildings, railroad stations,
cities and towns, but also along the
rural mail routes. So thoroughly was
this preliminary campaign work done
that within few days the whole state
of Tennessee was talking about their
own ship"
Well, they came to the recruiting
officers in shoals, these husky young
miners and backwoodsmen, many of
whom had never seen salt water nor
stood aboard a ship. For four success
i've weeks Nashville, which had been
standing low in the list before the
drive, led all the cities of the country
in the number of naval recruits fur
niShed.
Recruiting parties carried with them
so uniforms of assorted sizes. When a
man was signed up he was Immediate
lily fitted out and shaved, he was as
signed to recruiting duty in his own
home town. Naturally he became at
once sort of paladin. Furthermore,
he was no stranger. Soon he became
more potent parsonage than either
the parson or the sheriff. In many in
stances, Captain Leigh says, such lads,
wearing their spic and span uniforms,
brought into the sdb-stations from 10
to Il recruits apiece. More than one
half of: all those who enlisted during
the state drive were brought in thus
by newly enlisted men in uniform.
Not long after the campaign began
Captain Leigh made a trip through
the. state accompanied by Governor
Roberts, speaking in most of the cit
les and larger towns. He emphasized
not only the navy's opportunities for
education, adventure and sightseeing,
but he stressed always the local idea
Tennessee wants to man this new
est dreadnaught of Americas victory
fleet with men from her own towns and
countryside
Later, in January, Governor Roberts,
accompanied by his staff, made another
trip through the state, lasting two
we KS. He made frequent exhorta-
lions from his special train and from
town and city platforms. Captain
Leigh and his colleagues of the navy
bestow upon the governor generous
share of the credit for the success.
Following the governors tour re-
cruiting officers with brass bands gave
concerts in the schools and colleges
in different sections Of the state. AT
the opening of the drive Commander
Station addressed the Rotary club in
Nashville. Similar organizations in
other cities were addressed by the re-
cruiting officers, who received valuable
aid from the Rotarians.
The 600 Tennesseeans thus enlisted
are an uncommonly fine lot of men.
Many of them have been experts with
the rifle since they cut their second
teeth, SO it is not surprising to learn
that at the ranges large percentage
already have qualified as expert rifle
men, which is the highest rating for

YIN SPITE of an appeal by Repub-

jected the conference report on the
diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill because of its provisions making
permanent wartime passport restric-
tions. The vote on the approval of the
conference report was SO to 1872. The
bill was sent back to conference.
Representatives SABBATH of illinois,,
Giegel of New York and Connally OF
n,exas were among those who fought
the adoption of the report. Minority
Leader Champ Clark voted against 1t.
The rejected measure made perma-
nent the wartime requirement that
no alien could enter the United States
without a passport from his own coun-

also made it necessary for American
