The fact that he comparatively well-off man has [been able to lay in a stock is deplor- able—not for the man himself, but for the others about the city who have been fecling an elongation of the tongue since the first day of July, A. D. 1919. Tt is an unpleasant situation thet bas been brought about by the ‘War Time Prohibition act, even for the hoarder of the forbidden wet goods. We believe thet measures should be taken for the suppression of ownership of liquor after the Pro- Hibition Amendment becomes effec- tive. There is this, however, that garry cheer to the one who wishes and #as not. It is the more readily illus- trated by the story of the tourist who was visiting in Scotland. He talking to one of the old bearded fel- Jows who lived up in the hills.

Can Congress pass a law which shall extend to those in charge of its ériférecement the privilege of entering 4&ny home on suspicion only? We doubt it.

It is too bad that some may have it while oth- ers go dry. But the search of the horhe ould not be allowed, despite the protection that it gives to some. A CORNER ON FOOD. After stating that there was a sugar shortage, that there not, that there was reason for higher prices for the commodity and that there was not. the consensus of opinion seems (0 be was settling down to the conclusion that the storing of the commodity where along the route to the consumer is responsible for the fact that tho housekeeper has been restricted in her attempt to procure the product for her home. When all is said and done, there has been a shortage of sugar in | the home. One has not been able to freely as formerly. The can- son is here, that is one reason People ar some- | et it ning se for an increased demand. more willing to use plenty of it, that is another.

It appears that the Herald’s editor- | ial on “Daylight Saving Saved” print- ed a few nights ago was a bit prema- ture in some of its statements.

An- been introduced will probably be tacked on to the same bill. It differs very litlle from preceding one. The advantage gained is that a two-thirds vot necessary to again pass i the case of a vetoed bill. The plan is to be made the basis for another partisan fight. Republicans introducing the bill and the rider will not forsake either for party reas it is said. They will hold the agricul- tural appropriation, which needed, up until the whole adopted. The President therefo must veto the appropriation again in order to kill the effect of the rider. It is not a pleasant situation for the President of the Department of Agr culture to be in, but that is what is desired by Congres other rider has a as would be is sorely thing is a A YEAR AGO TODAY.
