A Citizens Plain Duty

CFNATOR WHEELER'S criticism of John w. Davis for
y having remained quiet during the period when Harry
Daugherty msmanaging the department of Justice
brings up interesting question: How far does private
citizens duty eNtend2
One view is that citizens duty toward his fellow men
is bounded only by his capacity for service man who
has knowledge of crookedness in public office has no
right to remain silent merely because he himself is not
public official
mentS particularly in municipal administration, have
sprung from the anger of outraged citizens who would
tolerate no longer the msmanagement Of this on that
city hall crowd"
In national affairs there appears 10 be good

Why?

IHTHEAT is going up on the grain exchanges. Flour
wv is rising What will happen TO bread?
Nothing should happen to it, according to the bureau
of agricultural economics in Washington which says
Bread came down in price to any extent, why
should it go up now"
In this connection it is well to recall report Of the
federal trade commission made during the early part of
May. after investigation of the wheat flour milling
industry at the request of Senator Norris of Nebraska
The report stated that tho wheat had declined 80 per
cent in Minneapolis period Of January, 1919 to
September 1922 and flour had declined 30 per cent the
decline in the price of bread only per cent Bread
sold for cents in September 1922 compared to 90 cents
per loaf in January. 1919.
That lot of difference in the cost of wheat
siderable in the cost of flour but almost difference
in the cost of bread.

resolution calling for sine die adjourn

The resolution was sent to the sen

submitted by Senator La Toilette to
substitute for adjournment a recess
from June to July Z. La Follette's
subresolution set forth that there is
urgent need of legislation for relief
of the farmers, and that amendment
of the transportation act also is neces
sary. 1t provided that after congress
reconvenes it should consider only
