With that dare-devil American
battalion that was surrounded by
the Germans in the forest and cut off
from their allies fol five days It was
another case of Argonne but not for
gotten. Passed by censor.
An allied bombing plane, in order
to demonstrate its carrying capacity,
conveyed a big piano front London
to Paris. That was one time when
there was really music in the air
but it was nothing to the music that
will fill the air when the Germans
lay down their arms.
This is a funny old world. The
whisky makers who are flooding the
country with propaganda denouncing
prohibition as "confiscation." have
taken profits that In the aggregate
are at least S?0, 000,000 and possibly
twice that sura. There were 140.
090,000 gallons of whisky on hand
when the manufacture was stopped
by the government. This did not
Include the floor stock held by the
wholesalers, which is estimated at
4S.O0O.O00 gallons, more. It cost 2
cents a gallon to manufacture this
stuff. The pi ice thereupon Jumped
to $3.20 a gallon, and It has been
going up ever since. No wonder the
distillers (who were "out from an'
der" at profits sufficiently large to
repay them the entire cost of Invest
ment in distilleries, lobbying and
other expenses peculiar to the trlfflc)
started to laugh.

HOARDING.
There are times when oven hoard
ing can be patriotic. However de
testable it may bo to board sugar
the government is making a patriotic
appeal to the householders of the

Warning comes from railroad men
that Southetn California must be
prepared to house and feed the great
est army of tourists this winter In
the history of the state. A coal
shortage in the East is Inevitable.
The supply of coal for heating will
be more limited than ever before.
Every family that comes to Califor
nia Is contributing to the public wel
fare just that amount of coal which
It would consume If it passed the
winter in a frrt-lorked eastern city.
It is to be noticed that "for-renf
signs in residence districts or me
city are already conspicuous by their
absence. Feeding and housing the
Eastern guest this winter will be pa
triotic. Los Angeles Times.
Oregon will no doubt receive large
benefits from the influx of Eastern
people to this coast to accrue after
world peace shall have come.
IRELAND'S OPPORTUXITY.
Lord French's demand for 60,000
recruits from Ireland before October
as an alternative for compulsory
military servlcs, was met with a re
sponse ot If ss than 12.000 enlist
ments. So the question of extending
compulsory 'military service to Ire
land is opened anew. Lloyd George
gave his personal guaranty to par
liament that Ireland would send Its
quota to the front, either as volun
teers or as conscripted men. The
Irish leaders asked that conscription
be laid on the table until the Irish
districts should receive an opportu
nity to prove their patriotism by vol
untary enlistments. The Dublin area
controlled by the Sinn Fein, produced
less than one-sixth of Its quota of
volunteers. Even Ulster fell far
short. The north of Ireland men de
clined to volunteer if their country
men in the south were permitted to
stay at home. Compulsory service
seems the only solution of the diffi
culty.
THE SOUTH IS IT? CONTROL.
The S&yth is la control of the leg
Islation of the country, and also in
control ot the nation In practically
all of Its administration In the war.
Never In the history of this re
public has the power of determining
the national policies been concen
trated in the hands of so few men.
or so monopolized by a handful of
staUs. liy similar methods, the cot
ton states were able prior t? the
Civil war to dictate to the entire
country regardless of the will or in
terests of other states.
iluch of the work in congress is
done by committees. To understand
the sectionalism that prevails In the
assignment of the chairmanships of
the committees of both nouses of
congress under a Democratic admin
istration the basic facts must be con
sidered.
Of the fifty-two Democrats in the
jenate thirty represent the "Solid
South," and eight others were born
in the South, so that In the senate
there are thirty-eight Democrats who
are sympathetic and responsive to
Southern Interests.
Of the seventy-five committees In
the senate about ono-thlrd practical
ly do not function. Of the twenty
jnc chairmanships assigned to Re
publicans all belong to this list.
Nearly every ImporUnt committee
In the senate baB a Southern Demo
crat for its chairman. Among these
are the committees on appropriation
commerce. District of Columbia, fin
ance. Immigration, Inter-oceanic ca
nals. interstate commerce, judiciary,
manufactures, naval affairs, post
offices and post roads, as well as an
"ier commiuee wnicn is at any
crisis In the parliamentary affairs

which Senator Overman, a Democrat
from North' Carolina, Is chairman.
in tne house of representatives
Southern domination is even more
pronounced than in the senate.
ur tne sixty-one house commit
es forty-lwo are known as Import
ant. Every one of the forty-two has
i Southern Democrat for chairman.
Democrats f rom North and West
epresenting thirty-one sUtes, have
been alloted only twenty-one chair
manships, and these are of minor
character. In. other words. North
srn uemocrats . presenting two-
thirds of the states in the Union, and
even a much greater proportion of
population, wealth, industrial, aari
cultural and business interests, are
limited to only one-third of the chair
nanships of the house of representa
tives.
Even the chairmanships alloted to
the Southern Democrats are a "close
otporation."
Out of the sixty-one house chair
manships, thirty-four, or over one-
half, are kept within the tuember

The Republican leaders malntaVta
that the cry of sectionalism." shdfl
not be raised, and especially at thlsV
time when tho American people are
united on the war. yet It Is only fair
to
state the facts concerning our
congressional representation during
the war. ' '
While the few Southern states are
In control of congress the states of
the North are furnishing not only
the bulk of our soldiers, but are sup
plying the greater part of the money
to finance the war..
The American people demand a
vlgctous prosecution of the war, and
In the period of reconstruction after
the war, the laborer, farmer and the

representation of their Interests, such
a representation as only a Republican
congress can assure.
