HARD TO PLEASE EN- ALL

Announcement by the Government
that rationing of more than two hundred
kinds of food will begin in February causes
a roar of protest from those who assert that
no advance publicity should have been Civ
en- tC this drastic program.
This type of criticism is what one must
expect Regardless of what is done in con-
nection with the fullest prosecution of the
war, there will be critics to denounce it. If
the Government had waited until February
|, the criticism would be just as vociferous
and just as worthless.
After all, the people of the United
States should realize that the nation is in
serious war and that it has much to lose
Consequently, the Government ought to be
able to rely upon the loyal support and pa
triotic cooperation of good Americans, and,
obviously, it should take steps to compel the
cooperation of all others.

The doctor distributes "ten command
ments of health which may prove inter-
esting to those not in Congress:
Eat wisely, drink plentifully (of WA

SOME OTHER WAY OUT?

Every American who is worthy of that
name applauds the President for taking
crack at those Americans who put their APP
petite above their patriotism, but, as'"appe-
tite" theoretically applies to things we want
to use, as we'll as eat we believe that Leon
Henderson didn't figure up the consequen-
ces that would ensue from his latest drastic
order-his structures on the way gasoline
must be used.
We doubt if he was aware, in Florida,
for instance, that he was striking at che ola
age pensiorer, the schools and the function
ing of the counties, as we'll as unthmklng
pleasure drivers, when he issued his order
combining the use of gasoline TO necessary
driving.
Now, even the pugnaclous lckes ad-
mits that there is not shortage of gasoline
in the United States. The trouble lies III
our transportation system, about which Of
fetal Washington has done great deal OF
talking since we entered the war but moth
ing whatever to correct that problem, SO far
as the puDllc KNOWS.
Senators and representatives and other
government men have talked and talked
about proposed barge system, particular
ly in Florida to relieve the railroads in haul
ing gasoline, but the only result thus far has
been jaw-action Jaws still continue TO
work overtime on the proposed barge canal
phase of transportation, and now along
comes Leon Henderson, without any jaw
ing, to clamp down on the use of gasoline
and, at the same time, close the race tracks
n Florida, stopping the source of revenue
hat was used for the operation of schools,
to help defray the expense of old age pen
sions and to curtail the operation Of worth
while civic matters in the counties.
Of course, matters that promote the
war effort come before civic operations. All
of us agree that that be so and submit, with
out a murmur to that condition. The TACT
is, we applaud that procedure because it IS
directed to maintaining our democratic
form of government by crushing the "
rants who had designs on running the world
to suit themselves.
But, the big thing still relates 70 trans
portation and what has been doneto over
come the shortage of railroad ears and auto
motive trucks in hauling freight. Could MOI
something have been done 10 lessen that
problem sufficiently, so that it would not
have been necessary for Henderson TO set
up his table of ways in which gasoline could
be used?
If there was, no other way out, then as
good Americans, we should not only submit
to his drastic action but applaud 1t also, but
wher we hear this representative and that
senator declare there is no necessity for the
continued decrease in the use OF gasoline by
civilians, because of the fact that there is no
shortage, it sets us to thinking that there
might have been some other way out of the
eXigency.
