There is little redson to doubt that much of the trouble in connection with the food supplies, and in connection with other commodities as well, In this country has been due to the hoarding thereof. With zreat need of prevent- ing waste and increasing production, there is a Gisposition on the part of a great mary “5 Gorner in a small way everything that is needed. Some do this without any other object than to insure themseives a proper supply but there are others who consider the oppértunity to get rich quick at the expense of cthers as one which cannot be overlookod, regardless of the con® ditions which may be existing. The result is that prices mount, go sky- hizh and ou: of reach in an instant and a shoriage and hardship natur- ally result. In this conrection. while production and conce-vaiion are belng so exten- sively preiched, there is some good advice ffored by the national asso- efatisn of grocers to the housewives of the counuy, when it urges them to Euy only for present neede, as if no war was in progress and not attempt to store up 2 large supyly of articles in their homes, and it offers as an ex- planation of this advice that the mak- ing of a provision storehouze of the homes and sverbuving wil r: and create conditisns aveid becsuce marl br the visible supply and poc duces that.

Action which ousht to get wide- spread attention thrcuzhout the coun- ry, in congre=s and in the state les- islatures is that which has besn taken by United States Distrizt Attorney Melvillo J. Francis, of New York, in =riting to Senator Calder roquesting him not to press the bfll he in- troduced to increass the faders! at- torner’s ‘salary $iS6C. lir. Fyaace's salary at the presest tima i 34,530 xnd By the chanze he Mot 32,000, This incident attracts attention be- cause it Is so contrary to the usual procddure. Ordinarily too much pres- sure cannot be brought to bear uporm congressmen and legislators to bring about just what Mr. Francis is trying to prevemt. No thought is given to anything except the resuit that is aim.- ed at—an Increase in salary—but here is a nmoteworthy exception, and Mr. Francis speaks for more than himself when he says “When the nation needs every dollar for the life-and-death struggle into which it has entered, no one should seek to profit individually by his services to the country. Those are patriotic words well spoken. Dir. Francis sets an admira- ble example in the stand which he, takes. He does the unusual and this 1sa case where the unusual is called for. Bt s ~; course appreciated that these -.are the days when everybody is con- cérned in the cost of living as it cone | astense, . income but Mr. Francis is prepared to do it and he has the right idea when he moves to block the salary raising drain at this time. SOLVING THE RAILROAD PROB- . LEM. That those in charge of the rallroad work in comnection with the council of national defense have beén putting in some timely work I the considera- tion ,of the problems whigh they face is indicated by the statement which was made on Thursday to the national defensa, conference. of .governors and representatives of the state defense councils -at Washington' by Daniel Willerd, premident .of the Baltimore & Ohio and chalrman of the advisory committee of the counell of natlonal that 175 American railroads are now being cperated under the & rection of the government for the & ration of the war, and that it cu expected that it wiil bs necesssr: curtail the passenger ‘train sezvice the country, to-shp the: Seuntry's en- tire output of rolling stock and rsils to the allles for the improvament of the transportation” systems’ of Framce and Russia as an aid to the activities of these countries in the war and to bring as large a proportion of the country’s ratiroad equipment as pos- sible into use for the transportation of all_kinds of supplies and foodstuffs. This Mr. Willard -declares can be to .| done by putting into force measures of greater railroad economy and bring- ing the railroads of the country to the highest degree of efficlency. Many of these intended improvements are un- questionably needed under normal con- ditions, but they are particularly re- quired at thé present: time. The part which the rajiroads must play in con- nection with the solution of the huge problem of transportation cannot be overlooked. It is vital to the United States and it is vital to the entente nations, and the quicker the prosramme of action can be decided upon and the authority secured to put it into force the quicker will the desirable results be obtained. Such may be looked up- on as drastic measures, but drastic measurés must pe expected In con- nection with waging a'successful war. RIGHT ACTION ON CENSORSHIP. When the lower house of congress voted to eliminate the censorship sec- tion of the espionage bill, it did only what all sections of the country have been asking it to do, but it did just what was called for. According to this provision a hard blow was aimed at one of the great rights which goes with democracy. It would pre- vent thé peoplé from ~ offering any opinion_as to ‘the manner in which those in high places might conduct their affalrs. It would prevent an criticism and discussion regarding the conduct of the war and it would even impose a severe penalty for the ask- ing of questions. It is an attempt to check the freedom of speech, and while it may have beén included in the bill with good intent, it savors too much of the course which might be expected from a country such as this country is now at.war.with and con- ditions against which this country has so_strongly protested. It is to be recogmized of course that discgetion might bé used by those who would be given guthority Tn the mat- ter, and it is Possible that no attempt would be mads £ g0 as far as the provision would seem to -permit, but there are many things which the peo- plé -are entitled to know and mothing should be done which would deny them this knowledge. Sacrecy today surrounds many of the preparations. Such must be ex- pected. It Is for the interest of the nation that these things be kept under cover and the press, and people are doing their part in .this. connection. There wilt be at- all-times military facts, which would be- of miore value to the enemy than they weuld be to the people of this country, which must be suppressed, and nome too drastic steps can be taken in order to insure such, but the proposed provision goes far beyond that and aims to check in- formation for the people of. this coun- try which the cnemy would have no trouble in obtaining. The action taken by the house is therefore proper and it should be fol- lowed by similar action In the senatc as soon as that body reaches the mat- ter. EDITCRIAL NOTES. It requires only a little May sun- shine and the rhubarb season will goon be in full swing. There has always beéen a golden re- ward for the chap who can produce a substitute for coal, but such an arti- cle is in greater demand today than ever. The man on the corner says: It only requires a little casual observance to demonstrate that it isn't the largest automobile which always carries the biggest flas. There is no question but what a lot of attractive zardens. will be culti- vated this summer but it is really re- sults and not appearance which the effort is aimed at. When it comes to shutting up the newspapers in Bohemia 4t looks as if the imperial German government was not getting all the support it clamors for in that section of the country. Speaking of the crops that never fail, thers are the potato bugs, the caterpillars, the tomato worms and the rose chafers, not to mention the count- less other pests which are equally un- desirable. The man with the renovated lawn mower may be complaining about hav- ing no opportunity to use it, but he can rest assured that he will have plenty of chances later on. No one should get the idea that the whole problem of high cost of living is going to be solved by throwing a few handfuls of seeds Into the ground and expecting nature to do all the rest. Those who are advocating leniency regarding the treatment of those found raiding other people’s gardens ought to realize that such action will simply lend encouragement to just such ac- tivities. tinues to climb higher and higher, but the situation affects those who are working for a low wage much more than it does those who are drawing handsome and income-tax paying sal- arles. They are, of course, affected the same as the poor man. They are obliged to pay more for everythi they bey the same as the other fel No surprise whatever is contained in the announcement that the Rus- sians are showing increased resist- ance.

THE DICTAGRAPH. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Position of the Farmer. Mr.-Editor: In reading lotfers to'vou in The Hulletin, I am much interested in the high cost of living and the srices of milk. Now in answer to Bill 1 think if Bill will wake up, go out on the farm and try his fuck at pro- ducing milk for selling, he can - learn without asking “why 1t *costs more now than fifty years ago or thirty years ago even when the farmoers itved, kept cows, sold butter, fatted pigs, raised calves to mature, and not so much for veal as now. They did Tot grain their cows then. ~ Cows went dry all winter with plenty of hay and ‘grain raised on the farm. Today those same people could mot ltve and sell butter and milk as then. First, the state has let loose a lot of handsome deer to run where they like. A few deer can spoil acres of rye, wheat, corn, beans, melons, peas, beets, ete., &fter the farmer buys seed for prices never known ‘to be 50 hish before and they can’s plant over for it would be t0o late in the season. Second. - Deer zo_on the best grass land and clover, eat the heart out soon as it starts up and when crop is mads into hay, with help getting $2.50 to 33 a day, you don't have half a crop, and with_other grain and feed destroyed You have to buy grain or Cows wom't make milk to sell. If Bill had to pay 535 to $40 a week for grain for fifteen or twenty cows he coul sell milk at 4 or 5 cents any more than the rest of us. ~“Fhird.
