Janes, 1 TAKING TIME to think. The senate is backing up or down on the fjod control bill, as, after it taker time to think, it find ita first deebioa was entirely impracticaL Of course, it would be well to think betore hawi, but better lais senators whs aeem to haw the intererta of on special industry at heaii more than, they do the interests of the "eople and the country, and thit masts 11 ajmcuil lo g anywnere The people back at home really onlj hoped (or food and fuel control bil; and would be pretty well, satisfied i they could secure this. An a part of the food control bill natural and important part, thi y.ope think that the manufacture of whiskey, beer and. wine, alcohol ir any form for beverage purposes should be (topped. Then it won If api'sar that the government houl have the right to take over any el eohol for munitions purposes, bi' that does not neceswily need to be part of thia food bill, for. the govemiuit hai ri(ht to take the ale ho! at any time, anywhere, when tl need it for war ptnvoeea, of coarve pyiitlt s reaaotwble price. TV frteula of alcohol are afraid that Uh riisiillera may not get a big price fo' their produces. Tlie proposed new section will aatia fy better than the one already pasaex for it is ttHCgested nnw that th president may be gin power to atof th nMunfaetare ef beer and winee, ti he finrle it for the beet interests of tin country during' the War. That is better than nothing, but the congresi should take the responsibility itself. Tn truth seemu to be that the sen ate is putting some special interest! ahead of the country' interest, and t e'tayuig the passage of the food con ti A bill, while the people are suffering at the bands of the food and fuel cor morMita, THEY ARE Ft'XlSY IEUERS. Kewspater editors are funny fel K. ... . Tliey are away at a convention ant they arc discuwting whether the gov rrnmonl has a right to commundoe' tlT'ir news space and advertuint space, and mjytr ma suy "thonl j au." They think that the govern tnvni fchould pay for the space uf r.d thee, the editors hseinp monfy they could contntrul to the ttrio gowtmPtal ntrnrufa. whs thoj ;:-;:tt V lh. r rnr i " el or even V"'-'- ' t- r ' in ? pH-e ef p-"it I CJ. er ii',K t'e prue and rf .".',. h l.'- l ', . , . -'e to U.'-- r t t c !

i . c in the ji.t of f . n f.. , to two hundred per cent is too rouih. The ed;tors y they am willing to pay any fair and ejaiuWe t."C but da not wiih to be sirjj'cd eut as a bunch to b specis!!y taxed. They tve think that the mat) who sends his paper two thousand mile should pay greater postal rate tb the editor who sends his little paper a few miles. However, the editors go

tuo far when Uicy object to tax upon profits, for under the other haudienps of the buaiaeM, why bother about a tax on something that nobody has? The convention gives opportunity for a lot of editors to air their grievances, and they are being aired prop erly. EVERY LITTLE HELPS. Even little Liberia has severed relations with Germany. Liberia has the right spirit, and that is because. perhaps, that Liberia is an outgrowth of American spirit and American folks. It is hard for a real free man to submit to much imposition, even by a greater power. Liberia will have the help of moat of the nations of the world in her efforts to maintain her rights and standing among nations. GOOD PLACE FOR CRISIS. There is a crisis in Germany. A crisis on the hsnds of Emperor William is a fitting place. Let the crisis grow and multiply until the emperor shall decide that the people really liave a right to rule themselves, and Ujit the day of the "divine right" ruler is over. WHO IS WHO BEHIND THE SCENES IN THE WAR ARMY Brigadier-General Harry C. Hale. Born in Illinois Jui 10, 1861 and apoointed to the Military Academy from that state in 187B. In 1M3 he was promoted to second lieutenant and assigned to the Twelfth Infantry, in which arm ef the service he has coninued. During the Spanish-American war, while a captain in the regula) establishment he was made a niajoi of volunteers. WASHINGTON, July 11 General Hale one of the "War Generals," au at the time of his appointment was m command of the Fifteenth Intantry ntationed at Tien Tsin, China. General Hale is considered an ex ceptionally line infantry officer and trainer of men. He- is a remarkable shot with both pistol and rifle and wrote the Pistol Manuel and Smal' Arms Firing Regulations for thi irmy. H also perfected the target practice system for the enlisted men )f the regular army. It is not the policy of the War DeTartment to announce the detail of cheers in advance, but it ia safe te jredict that General Hale will be aaiigr.rd s important post in Europt luring the present conflict.
