The least punshment which should be inflicted upon Heflin is that he be censured at the bar of the House and from that place be compelled to make complete and open apology. The proper punishment would be to purge the House of his presence. WANTS TO ELIMINATE MIDDLE MAN. Representative Henry I. Emerson of Ohio believes that the middleman in the distribution of food products must be eliminated if the cost of living is to be materally reduced. With that end in view he has presented a resolution to the I louse directing the Food Administrator to investigate that question. As one looks about, it is now possible to estimate the re sults of the nation wide movement made last spring to start home gardens. Many a back yard that never before knew aland, if possible, to devise a system that will bring the farmer j and the consumer together and elminate the middleman. In connection with that investigate .i Mr. Emerson would have the prices charged at markets looked into, as he is of opinion that they exceed those charged at smaller stores in the large cities, and are greatly in excess of those which the farmers receive for the same products.

School gardens which wise skeptics said would soon be all weeds, have really brought forth good returns. A lot of people have been given an impetus toward outdoor life and there must be some permanent results from it. Probably some of these people now make home gardens for a regular thing, even after the war emergency is passed. Food prices are permanently high, and home vegetables will come in handy always. The work takes time that otherwise would be non-productively employed. When a man spends When one reads President Wilson's letter to the men in his leisure hours weeding and hoeing, instead of loafing around j France saying that he envies them and regrets that he cannot hangouts, he is adding to the production of the country and! be jn the trenches with them, it is difficult to suppress a men his own comfort. tal inquiry as to the reason why he denied Cob Roosevelt the The results attained have had a large aggregate.

There will be a great difference when it's seen that many families that used to draw on the grocer every week can now eat from their own stores. It has been a common sight to see little town backyard plots, half as large as the ground floor of the house, bring forth 1 their ten bushels of potatoes. When to that you add peas and beans and corn and root crops and green stuff, the aggregate is a real help. Now the thing to do is to keep up the good work another year. This spring's gardening campaign started late, as we did not enter the war and realize our situation until April. For next year's spring campaign there will be plenty of time for preparation. Every garden will be needed. Those who made a failure of it may think more hopefully about it before the winter is over. They will reflect that this work in the open air was not so bad after all. They could surely avoid the mis take that queered them this year. the men than would the presence of the hero of San Juan Hill? Even so, could he not have conceded Col. Roosevelt at least second choice in the fighting privilege? UNPRECEDENTED HASTE. WITH T1IK ,1l OimiON. Jlouml for North Carolina, Sept. 27.

Secretary Daniels has determined to institute a Nation wide hunt for spies in order to prevent a repetition of explo sions like that at the Mare Island naval station and to avoid on our ships any of the "unexplained" explosions such as have repeatedly taken place in the British navy. Why so hasty? It is wholly unlike Mr. Daniels to be rushed off his feet. He waited two years before beginning the battleship construction which the Sixty-third congress authorized whereas the Mare Island explosion took place only about six weeks ago. WELCOME THE JAP ARMY. Former Ambassador James W. Gerard; in one of his recent articles upon his experiences in Germany says: "Nothing surprised me more as the war developed than the discovery of the great amount and variety of goods exported from Germany to the United States." Well, you needn't have been surprised. All through the campaign of 1912, when you were helping to elect a Demo cratic administration, the Republican press and Republican speakers were telling the country about the quantities of goods America was buying in Europe, even under a Republican tar iff. Nevertheless, you and your fellow Democrats were urging that the tariff rates be lowered or abolished entirely, so that we should buy more in Europe. Surprised, were you? You should be appalled. You should be stunned by the realization that when Republicans were trying to teach you better, you persisted in advocating and establishing an economic policy which meant larger pur chases in Germany, to the destruction of our own industries. When Republicans were fighting for "America First," you were supporting a tariff policy that was for Europe and Asia first. Surprised! If you had not been too intensely partisan to attend a Republican meeting or read a Republican paper, you j would have known better. ! Italian newspapers are inquiring why the allies in Europe insist upon waiting for the American army to be made ready for the trenches when the Japanese army is prepared for ac tion and needs only the request to have them facing the Hun on whatver front may be most convenient or necessary. It is a question which has occurred to many others. This is an opportune time to raise it while Count Ishii and his col leagues are in this country, holding "conversations" wth Mr. !
