Mamber of the Sertpps North Went Leawuo of Newspapers The Seatt Entered at Seattle, Wash By mail, out of elty, one year, By carrier, city, MORE THAN 61,000 COPIES SOLD DAILY. Why Food Riots? Of course we have food riots in the tenement regions of New York. What else would you expect under existing con- ditions? The only wonder is that we don’t have them every- where else. Police arrest some of the rioters, and the part of the com- munity that is well fed, comfortable and safe solemnly con- demns them. Condemns them? Why? : While vast masses of poor people face extreme want if not actual starvation, we allow the railroad companies to increase freight rates, to issue more capitalization and to cut more melons. With probably the majority of working people underfed, we allow the railroad companies to block food supplies that they may devote all their energies to carrying huge quanti- ties of other goods that are higher class freight and pay the bigger charges! With big supplies in the country districts and a shortage in the cities, we allow private greed to: own and obstruct the highways that are the market roads from the farm to the table! We allow our meat supplies to be monopolized, allow the men that monopolize them to cut in one month melons amounting to $125,000,000, and wonder that meat is dear! We allow parasites and gamblers to boost the price of wheat and take all! the profits of producing it. We allow so-called grain exchanges to make bread dear that specula- tors may get rich! We allow private greed and speculators’ profits to rule the entire business of handling, transporting and distributing the sustenance of the people, and then tell food rioters that they are very naughty people and ought to be ashamed of themselves! Other nations have learned that the national food sup- plies are the first subject of national concern. We must act likewise.

MALLOY OSHS, an apparently commonplace fellow, having shown no uw iM py a one day, in a fit of indignant rage, slew an Egy | tan bully. To save himself m prison and the death penalty, | he fled into the wilderness. ’ - nf “s s After 40 years he returned, and, singlehanded, by gentle methods, | he Uberated thousands of slaves from the clutches of the vicious |tfan monarch. He gathered these thousands together, and, without | force, without compulsion, he led them on a hard, long journey thru a | strange, bare land, where none had ever been. * He told them what they would find, and they found {t; he drew water from the rocks and food from the skies; he overrode the law of |Rravitation and set at naught the cherished beliefs of science. Thru- jose it all he was patient with their doubts and tolerant of thelr weak- | Hesses, and in return he asked of them—nothing. | Elijah returned to the cities after spending 40 days and 40 nights in fasting and communion in the wilderness, Tho unwashed, unshaven and clad in coarse burlap, the people made way for him and listened in respectful silence as he advised kings, rebuked princes and warned the great and powerful. He, too, would take no reward, either «-™ | mon in property or in honorary titles. | us Christ was obscure unt{l He returned from a forty-day fat jthe wilderness. Going into public places, He openly preached a doc- trine to the masses, which act, as He well knew, would bring about His death. He performed miracles that amazed the spectators, tangled |lawyers in skeins of their own weaving, and bewlidered: doctors in problems of their own creeds—and tn the end listened with grave equanimity to the sentence of a slow and agonizing death. What did these and the few others find in the lonely places that made them so indifferent to the baubles that mortals prize so highly? Riches, fame, power and the lure of the flesh were looked upon by these Supermen as dross—even their lives they valued far less than the mes- | sage they carried.
