SEIZING FOOD. The question of using the eminent domain powers of the federal j-'orernment, the states, and municipalities in order, in time of threatened famine or other emergency, to seize and distribute food, compensating the owners later, was discussed at the meeting of the committee of the state conference of mayors and other city officials at the city hall yesterda'. New York Times. In September had the rail strike ensued without doubt the right of eminent domain would have been enforced in many localities or otherwise the law3 of human nature might have prompted people to resort to other measures. No one disputes the right of eminent domain, but now when famine doesn't threaten but when living costs do there ought to be legislation to prevent speculation in foodstuffs. One of the best laws would be one that allowed no food to be kept in cold storage more than 45 or 60 days if intended for interstate commerce. Congress could pass such a law. T'nlesa events clear up the day will come when food dictatorship will Income a reality in times of pressure. Then the state will seize eggs wken they get over 40 cents, butter when it passed 50 cents, and flour when it is more than five cents a pound. Such a seizure could be attended by a fair but an honest compensation for the owner. ;

YOUNGSTERS TO THE FORE: They would have it that the tottering old gentlemen ol the Asquith cabinet should give way to ministers in the full vigor of nianh6od. There must be young blood in the cabinet. So Lord Grey, who by regular exercise and careful attention to diet has marvelously prolonged his life to the great age of 54, yields the office of Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to the Right Honorable A. J. Balfour, who is only 68. Earl Curzon goes in as president of the council, a youth of 56. Sir Edward Carson, who will be 63 in February, becomes First Lord of the Admiralty. Bonar Law, just turned 58, is the new Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Lord Milner, only 62, will be in the war council without portfolio. New York Times. , . . This 13 a year of the youngsters, all right. Take Judge Gary, running the biggest institution in the world. He is just 68. It is indeed a young man"s year. Striplings of 53 and 60 are coming to the front very fast. Von Ilindenburg is only 70, but despite nis youth he has done pretty well. LICENSES TOO EASILY SECURED. It is a motley crowd of motorists whom you find out on the automobile highways today. Many of them come hundreds . even thousands of mites. The man who wrecks your car or runs away may come from a state where do safeguards whatever are thrown about the running of high-powered machines. Practice in this matter varies greatly in different states. Ia some the novice motorist must pass a real examination before he is turned loose foi weal or woe. The examiners require him to shift his machine around in narrow spaces and steer on narrow roads until he has shown that he is a rfal driver. But in other states practically no restrictions are thrown about motor running. Novices are allowed on the public ways in command of a powerful locomotive capable of smashing a strong fence to atoms. There is no safeguard but their own caution and judgment. Their caution may be all right, but their experience is limited. They do not realize how fast they are going or how Quickly the materials for a grand smash may arrange themselves. Arriving at some tight spot, their presence of mind gives way, and ihey push the accelerator instead of putting their foot on the brake. It is fortunate if they, and not the innocent victims, are the ones to go to the hospital, There are some states that are pretty loose in the matter of licensing automobiles, yet which are quite 6trict with any person who has had an accident. Tbey argue that the worst accidents are not caused by novices, b it by experienced drivers who have grown reckless. Still the roads would be a lot safer if green drivers were compelled by a I the states to take a longer course of tutelage. It does not take long to l?arn to drive an automobile with a fair degree of skill. A month's practice, several times a week, should make people competent. It would not hurt them to demonstrate this competence before being turned loose at their powerful throttle. Lafayette Journal. ,

SOMETHING FOR POLICY HOLDERS TO CONSIDER. The man whose life insurance policy calls for the leaving of $5,000 to his amiiy is really creating an estate of only $3,000 when the present cost of '.ring is considered. It is a serious situation. Although almoct everything else has gone up, insurance rates haven't, 'robably the only remedy is to increase one's Insurance to offset the contantly cheapening dollar or else take out . additional protection In the shape f term insurance with hopes that at a date In the near future there will be i amelioration of conditions. The man who leaves his family an insurance estate of $5,000 or $10,000 . mts to feel before he dies that he is leaving them that much, not $5,000 or '0,000 that is actually worth only $3,500 or $7,000 when the present purasing power of the ?olla takn ,T,to c"nHo-at'on..
