The food control bill is having a hard time getting through congress, yet it may well be admitted thai there is no m-rc important step toward the fins! vinninjr "f the war than for the government to take a direct hand in the management ot. (mid supplies, and the control of supprfifc and price of all the necessities of nations have had to adopt these steps, but licy did the necessary work late; Uncle Sam should learn by the experience of Englau!, France and Germany. Senator Reed aand other representative in the House anil Senate, who look after the special interests rather than after the interests of the whole people, say that government control will interfere with the right of the business interests and of private individuals. When such a war is on as the int in which this country is engaged there is do business except io win the war; the government, as the representative of all the people, must take every step possible to bring sucrces. If the taking of property, if the regulation of prices, shall be necessary, it would be a very weak government that Would fail to take these steps. The government arose to the need and issued the call for the enrollment of ten millions of young men; it sold its bonds in the amount of billions, and must sell more; why should nien with food products stored away be permitted to make immense profits from the pecpio already borne down by the demand of the wartlte people who ttcrhapx have already given their sons? Hut, It is said that it is giving autocratic power to one man to eorttrol the distribution and prices of fond and coal, and other necessities. In a re' public there is no autocracy except foi the time, at the wish of the people, the (rovernment A man may be given power, but it can be taken away from him in an instant by the people who issued him his commission of power. It will be necessary to give Dome men power to brinf about efficiency in government affairs now. It is no time for ail the people U try to do some th'ngsj it is time fur the people to issue power to some men to nvrve (juickly if this nation ia to have an effective part in the war.

tulmtion of fowl and r-.:; e.im n must be prevented; it must be that everybody baa aomething to cat and a chance to preserve the trength of the body for the demands of the hour. While this is a nation established for the benefit of the individual, yet the nation is digger than any one man; in un emergency, the so-called rights of the individual must give way before the needs of all the people. It is no time to question the patriotism of men in power. It is verytrue that the men at the head of affairs in state and nation are moved by ju-,1 as patriotic impulses and just as much devotion to country as the me-i who criticise and bemear, them. It is not a time for criticism, it is

a time for action. The men. who arf finding the most fault in congress are the very men in whom the people back at home have the least confidence. IN MAN A S SHAME. Indiana should hang her head in hainc at the revelations of the trials now in progress at Indianapolis, shuwng the terrible crimes committed n rifi'V of politic at the capita: 'Uy. But, the people are not expecting nuch from Indianapolis in the line of lolitirs or good government so far as the police and authorities are It would not be surprising at ail I'ncle Sam should decide to re move the aimy post from Indianis. as well as the one from St s, as law enforcement and good tfovr-rnment are very short in both itien, It seems strange that with so many hnasands of able ami strong men in Indi.mapolis. men who pour out their money for nil good purpaaoi, as the M. t. A. and the ficd Cross, that they supinely submit to such e government as that now in vogue llicre. Is there no bairn at all in fiilead. o turrea.ic of shame? Shall the Inlana people have to go on for al! ine to come under the stigma of such ondltiuns as are shown to exist in ndianapolis, every time the court:ft Ihe lid and give a glance into the eetiitng caldron of vice and crime? I'NCI.B SAM SHt)('LI HTRHY. The battles in the air are becomng the most terrible and the most in-re.-ting of all the war incidents.

State Food and Drug Commissioner. A pound of fis1! per capita is about all the sea food w- bave eaten annually. To most of us fish is a rare food to lie eaten on occasion, and yet we would be fed more cheaply and quite as if like the people of other countries we ate fifty pounds of fish a year. Fish eating cuts down beef eating. When the pastures of the sea supplement to a far greaUr extent tlian now the grassy plains on hich we feed our beef animals, al! meats will be more plentiful than now. Our problem today is not only to feed our own people but to gather large stocks for shipments abroad. The fisheries of many of the Furoean countries have been practically destroyed. We cannot import lish as formerly. On the contrary we must prepare to export it Our fisheries have been growing sloIy, but under the stimulus of the ward's demands they will increase rapidly. Already an order for fourtei-n million pounds of frozen fish for the armies of Europe have been placed in this country. If the food scarcity brings us to better knowledge al the value af fih we shall be th gamers. - MINOR C0UKT& A suit tor possession of a dwelling prorwtytra Ks.-t KsfcU .Wi has been filed in justice of the pence court by James and Lisxie Wrt against Wai ter Carson,, who thay aUvg is not paying rent They ask. in addition to possession of the honse, twelv doliuri damage and court co,.ts, H.
