THE FOOD PLEDGE CAMPAIGN.
The food pledge campaign in Union County is a good
example of what work and organization will do. Union
Oountv has shown over 08 per cent of onr housewives sign
ing, this is as many as may be expected and the minority
as a rule, refused to' sign through ignorance, fear of incur
ring financial obligation, fear of taking an obligation and
not being able to live up to it. The committee in charge of
the campaign, Mr. T. J. Scroggin, chairman; Mrs. A. E.
Ivanhoe, assistant chairman, U. G. Coitch, Paul JI. Spill
man and Miss May Murphy, deserve great credit and they
acknowledge gratefully the assistance given them by the
school hoards, school principals and teachers, The Neigh
borhood Club, many other voluntary workers, and especi
ally the brave army of school boys and girls who scoured
the highways andhywnys for signers. They are Uncle
Sam's Army, just, like the boys at the front.
NOW COMES THE EMI5AKMIO.
Lest anyone forget,' let us repeat that we are entering
the era of enibargos and restrictions.
How they affect ns will, peril a ps determine our views
toward them.
H. S. Lovett, chairman of the Union Pacific, has been
vested with authority by the President to enforce embar
goes on the railroads.
C Some one has determined (bat it is essential to the Na
tional defense that Ihe transportation of coal, coke, ore,
limestone, sugar beets, sugar cane, sorghum cane and riiw
materials for use in the metal, sugar and fertilizer indus
tries bo facilitated.. Therefore he has ordered that open
4 ) freight cars, other than flat cars, be not furnished to
si ip'.nents of certain commodities. These include:
Materials used for construction of highways, except
coal; materials for repairs of theatres or buildings used for
ami senient purposes; materials used in the manufacture
of pleasure vehicles, furniture or musical instruments;
passenger vehicles, furniture and musical instruments.
1 u other words some one, Mr. I .ovett, or some one else is
going to run the railroads, tell them what to ship or not
to ship, ruin one man's business here and one man's busi
ness there, all because some one thinks that certain arti
cles are not needed somewhere for the National defense.
This is power beyond the dreams of ihe man who said,
"Would that mine enemy might write a book."
What a rivalry there will be among the various-trust-,
to get on the preferred list.
Mr. Lovett seems to look with consideration upon our

TOO LENIENT.
Tt is becoming to be the opinion of many citizens that
the United States is acting altogether too lenieiitlv with
the element that is openly and violently opposing the war
policy of the Nation. Such actions as holding' up ti'oop
trains and 'preaching sedition should be handled in only
one wav with a blank wall and a firing siiua'l.-.-l'aker
