Stop Every week the American people are being robbed of millions thru the crimes of a group of speculators operating in sugar. They be- gan their raid by garbling a report of the department of commerce, saying that the report showed a shortage in sugar, when, as a matter of fact, it shows a surplus only a little smaller than last year. And now, in spite of the fact that the trick is exposed, sugar keeps going up and up. It has gone up two cents a pound since the cheat they perpetrated on the official report was exposed, What does this mean? It means that someone or some group has the sugar supply cornered. It is the robbery of the people thru a monopoly of a staple food. It is a commaad to stand and deliver to all of us down to the very poorest, backed not by guns, but by hunger. It means that little children already stunt- ed by poverty will be pushed down to an even lower plane of living. It means that greed has the power in this country openly to fat- ten on hunger. It means that something is rottener in the United States than Hamlet found it in the State of Denmark. It means that something is equally rotten in the congress of the United States that it should adjourn without providing for an in- vestigation of this sugar situation. We want to know who is to blam The Sugar producers say it is a ring of specu- lators. The producers say they are opposed to this high-handed price manipulation. The people who are robbed want to know. Especially the women want to know—and Women vote. And if our laws permit such crimes as the cutting down in this way of the people’s food, the people, and espec , the women, want to know whether the laws are to be allowed to remain in that helpless state. Lieutenant Governor Coyle showed a flash of leadership last Friday when he called the senate down and demanded that it get busy with the In doing that be violated the custom which requires the Neutenant governor to keep his mouth shut, obey orders, and wield the gavel in the senate. Coyle is to be commended for the effort he has made. Gosh, what a fat feast for heirs and lawyers and tax collectors if that big steamer taking 547 American millionaires for a tour of the Mediter- ‘Fanean should go down. The Mania for Ruling A man described as a giant was arrested in New York the other day because of his peculiar actions. All he did, however, was to run about the streets roaring out, “I am the ruler of the world; I am the ruler of the world!” and butt his head thru plate glass windows. His head was gashed deeply and the blood was spurting from it and Tunning down all over him. Probably he was insane; but if he wished to give an imitation of a ruler of the world of the sort in vogue today, he did it to the life. Rulership of the world is a Mania this poor chap may have caught from Wilhelm the Only, or from Poincare, or one of several others we have m exposed to in recent years, or at the present day. And they all butt, or seek to butt, their heads thru plate glass windows. The plate glass windows are frontiers between what is theirs and what is someone's else. And after they have butted once, they go about bleeding and Yoaring as did our New York lunatic. The New York victim of megalomania was fortunte in that there was a police force to care for him. Other rulers of the world seem able to go on and on butting thru windows until they fall prostrate from loss of blood. And in their mad career they not only wound and destroy themselves, but they destroy so many other things that we have once been obliged to send our army and navy to stop the smashing; and as sure as it goes on we shall have to do if again for simple self-preservation. But our government insists on protesting that we won't, we never will, help set up any, or join any organization to try, even, to keep mad “rulers of the world” from butting plate glass windows with their heads. We mean with their people’s heads. e ; i ie end NG MUMMY 1 gentleman who sits Ind the clock in the gullery, the Hon. Wayne B.

How Much Can You Drink? Could you drink 17 large glasses of wine (more than half a gallon) in six minutes? Edmund Gwenn, English actor, does it in the musical play, “Lilac Time.” Result: He's the theatrical sensation of London. The English mob can’t understand how anyone can guzzle over two warts in six minutes, and do it twice a day. Gwenn lets them fn on his secret—the “wine” is colored water. But that only puzzles the English still more. Swallowing half a gallon of water in six minutes is an achievement. Gwenn says he has to drink on an empty stomach, doesn’t dare eat before the show. All of which may seem unimportant. But the English public is giving eda as much attention as the situation along the ine. —____.
