High Food Costs Kill Thousands.

The high cost of food is killing
thousands of Americans and undermine
ing the health of thousands of others,
according TO the deduction of scientists
connected with the government, whose
job is to figure out just what kinds of
foods are necessary to sustain the
human body.
The reason for the III. G. l.. casual
ty list is that the most expensive foods
are the ones most necessary to good
health. Economical shoppers select
the cheaper food, and thereby deprive
themselves and their families of life
sustaining elements.
The disease that develops is called
acidosis. 1t is not n new disease, but
its prevalence in America has develop
ed i'll the last five years. The word
"acidosis'' is so new that it hasn't got
ten into the dictionary.

Mysterious Mandrake.

which 1t clings so that the inmates suf-
fer from a strange Illness that baf-
fles medical science.
But undoubtedly the most mysteri-
Gus, as well as the most sinister, of all
plants is the mandrake, a low-growing
plant with large leaves, and bearing a
fruit something like an apple.
The mandrake has always been asso-
ciated with madness and evil. To pull
a mandrake out of the ground was at
one time held to be certain death. and
to all who heard its shrieks as it was
torn from the earth came madness.
The root of this plant is in shape
something like a human form. and
makes a strange kind of screeching
sound when pulled out of the ground.
In Italy the society ladies paid high
prices for mandrake roots, because
the possession of such was thought to
insure offspring to childless women.
This superstition probably arose from
the references to the mandrake in
Genesis 30:14: "And Reuben went
in the day of wheat harvest. and found
mandrakes in the field, and brought
them unto his mother, Leah. Chen
Rachel said to Leah, Give me, l pray
thee, of thy sons mandrakes.'"

modities on a farm vary to Il greater
extent in price during the year than
potatoes. When the farmer harvests
them he wants to sell them. They are
hard to keep, and retaining them in
wolves more or less expense, and some
danger of loss from decay. They are
not like h OF corn, to be placed
in a crib or bin md forgotten. So
most of the potatoes are sold as soon
as they are dug.
The only people prepared to store
and keep potatoes are the commission
men and storage people, and they are
the mes best in a position to buy up the
crop. The people pay no attention to
the size of the crop. They buy pota-
toes and eat them without regard to
whether there are many or few of
them. Then along about this time of
year we hear they are scarce. Then
the commission men. who gambled
when they bought them up begin to
boost the prices.
The potatoes now on hand cost the
commission and storage people IL GER
tain price last fall. and they are en-
titled to a fair profit. Any man in
Wyoming will grant the justice of
this. But when it comes to charging
such prices for potatoes as prevail
ut this time it is nothing short of out
rageous. 1t cannot be Justified by say
ing there are few potatoes, nor by
stating that II man who takes risks
is entitled to remuneration. The men
who bought the potatoes last fall are
simply taking advantage of an oppor-
tunity to gouge the public: And it is
certainly about time the public is given
some kind of protection from such out

THE PARTY OR THE BOSSES?

What is the Republican party in
Missouri? Who is the Republican
party in Missouri? Is it one man, is
it little group OF men, or is it the
400, 1000 or more citizens or the state
who vote the Republican ticket? These
questions are raised by the develop
ments of the past week. They have
been raised before, and often in the
minds of those who think more of
party achievements than of party pre-
requisites, 'but they are impressed upon
US now by the revelation Of political
processes are are ordinarily invis-
ible. Parties are essential in a de-
mocracy. They are necessary both
for the expression and the application
of public opinion to public affairs.
And party organization is required to
consolidate voters for the achievement
of common purposes. theoretically,
the party committee is representa-
tive body chosen by the voters for the
work of preparing for elections. Theo-
retically, it has nothing to do with
policies nor with condiates,s save to
provide for the expression Of the one
and to aid in the election Of the other.

As an agency to these ends it has i'm
portant and necessary functions. But
when it presumes to dictate public po-
licies and to select candidates it is
usurping the powers which should rest
alone in the people composing the
party, or in the representatives chos-
en- by them for these specific tasks.
And real party usefulness in the pro-
motion of the public welfare, which
is the sole justifable reason for par
ty existence, is bound to decline just
in proportion to its surrender to the
dictates of such organization, OIL,
more specifically, of party bosses
within the organization.
The investigation at Washington
has disclosed the fact that $4,000
was sent into Missouri to secure a
delegation to the Republican conven-
ton at Chicago friendly to Lowden".
1t is not denied that delegation was
elected that is friendly to Lowden."
Whether this is cause and effect we
do not pretend to say. Nor do we as
sert that any of this money has been
corruptly used. We know of no rea-
son why the delegates should not be
friendly to Lowden if they really ia
vor him. But the fact remains that
the delegation is, or was, practically
unanimous for Gov. Lowden. The del
egation in this position is not proper
ly representative of the party in Mis-
souri,, for there is no such unanimity
of opinion among the voters. Gov.
Lowden has many friends in this
State, but SO, too. has Gen. Wood. so
has johnson, and so has Hoover. But
at the State convention, and in nearly
every district, delegates were chosen
who were known to be friendly to
Lowden, who were, at least for the
greater, part. chosen because they
were friendly to him. By means of
secret political manipulation certain
party bosses arranged to deliver the
State vote to a single candidate re-
CARELESS of the views of the people of
the State. There were no instructions
from the conventions, but the dele
gates are, or were, for Lowden. And
they are, or were, for Lowden be-
cause these influences set to work to
make it sure that delegates would be
elected who would be for Lowden. We
think it is safe to say that if unin-
structed delegates had been elected
without such influences, some would
have been for one candidate, some for
another, and some, perhaps, for still
another.
This is but an example of the way in
which power that belongs to the peo-
pie, or to their representatives chos-
en- for specific purposes, is continual
ly usurped and exercised in Missouri
by a few men. 1t is the case in both
parties, but it is the Republican party
that now is under consideration. This
party in Missouri is dominated by
political oligarchy, composed of
handful of party bosses who are not
representatives of the people, but
who maintain and exercise their pow
er through the party committees. The
large Republican vote of the city gives
st. Louis predominant position in
the party Of Missouri; three or four
men in st. Louis not only control Re-
publican politics in the city, but vir-
tually control the party in the State.

JOAN OF ARC

Joan Of Arc is no longer a national
heroine of the French exclusively
Thousands of doughboys, passing
through Domremy, went to the small,
cell-like room in the humble home
where she saw visions, knelt at prayer
in the little church across the road
where she was baptized, looked over
the meadows where the sheep still
Craze as when she tended them.
Other thousands visited the mute
and desolated but still glorious fame
of Rheims where Joan stood, standard
in hand, by the altar when the Dau-
phin because of her was crowned
King Charles VII. Still others passed
repeatedly through the Place du Vieux
Marche at Rouen where the saint in
1431 was burned. The chivalrous
spirit of the American crusaders"
gave them to feel that they had come
into the world too late; they wished
they had been on the scene five CEN

those who piled the fagots and kim

One of the songs most frequently
sung in wartime, both in France and
here, was song Of tribute that turned
to music the sentiment evoked among
Americans by the memory of the mar

heartily approved in America. The

their "slates" for city and State, and
their workers are put into the field

they select are nominated. 1t is gen.
orally recognized that if man wants
to run for public office he must have
the support of "the organization"
which means this little group of men,
or he can have small chance of sue
cess. This prevents many excellent
men from seeking office. "No mat
ter how careful you are about the Sc
lection Of candidates" complained Mr..
Schmoll the other day, Somebody is
always ready to hop on you" He and
his associates can not or will not
grasp the fact that the objections are
to their assumption of authority to
make selections. The principle of the
national committee. as it is so we'll
expressed by Mr.. Hays, is that at is
the business of the committee to elect,
not to select" 1t is the business, and
the supreme right, of the people to Sc
lect their own candidates, freely and
without hindrance, but they are pre-
vented from exercising their rights in
this fundamental matter by the usur-
patton of party bosses. 1t is the pro-
per function of the organization to
