It stems probuble that Air. Sulzer
Will linu tumaeil in the same unfor
tuniiale position as Air, Hughes was
Wbtn lie believed h.mself eiecu-U nnd
received cungruiuiuiioug, Air. Sulzer
has thought tor nearly iwo months
that he was the deKgate-elect and it
Cti tainly will be hard to have the
cup uashed trom his lips as now
seems likely. He has at least had
the pleasure of being congratulated
on his election even if he is never
called on to accept the honors and
emoluments of the office itself.
t
The news was printed in Saturday's
Nugget that Sam Blum, well known
Values business man, hud fallen lrum
a wmuow und been killed. Opinion
was uiviutsi as to whether he fell uo
Ciuentally or by intention. \v e know
very little of the lute* Air. Blum
but we will venture this remark con- .
cerning his demise. We do not be- (
lieve he commitied suicide because of
business troubles as was hinted in the
disuptch. We lake It thut he was a
Jew and we never heard of a Jew
who could not rise phoenix-like from
any business disaster. We think he
either did not commit suicide or if he
did there was other than loss of money
at the bottom of it.
Whenever a munition plant In this
country blows up there is every rea
son to believe that u German did it.
If two happen to go off within the
same week then there is no doubt at
all that a Teuton plot was at the
bottom of It. This must necessar
ily be so because every fair-minded
person knows that explosives wont
explode without being forced to do so.
Somebody, and a Germun at thut,
has stood match in hand and touched
oft every plant that has thus far
blown up. This canont be otherwise
because a good portion of the press
always yells "German" whenever It
happens. The powder, or high ex
plosive, would not, could not, turn
loose on its own account. Every one
knows this. Coal dust will cxulxte
by spontaneous combustion, but nitro
glycerine wont. Of course not. A
pile of old rags in the corner of a
warehouse will Btart to burn without
apparent cause. But the well trained
explosives used in American muni
tions fuctorics would never make a
mistake and go off prematurely. No
Ch'namen, no Swede, no American
could set this stuff off either by ac
cident or design. Nobody hut a Ger
man could do it und a German plo'.ier
at that.
Everything depends on the point of
view, as we have remarked before and

will again, for It Is a valuable pre
cept that can be put to use nearly
all the time. To the Austrians nnil
Germans the fighting of the barbar
ous and inhuman Turks must be
most welcome when, for Instance,
they charge the Russians and drive
them into the icy waters of the
Sercth there to drown or be shot as
they try to olimb out on the ice ol
the far side. But for our part, while
we acknowledge that there may be
honorable and agreeable Turks, we
have looked on the alliance of the
Turks with the central powers as the
most unholy of alliances. We think
that G rmany, Austria and Bulgaria
demeaned themselves In accepting aid
from the unspeakable Turk. This
horrible creature belongs In Asia , er
an even hotter place, and an oppor
tunity should never he given him to
kill a white man or rape a white wo
men. He should he confined nrd con
trolled for all time by his superiors.
Of course war is war and the allies
are bringing up all sorts of savages
and semi-savage i to fight on their
shle. Bn* here are none of them so
dogisi'pd as the average Turk. To
bo fine Turkey lies in the path which
the Teuton considers bis destined
cc.ose and the only bright spot in
the outlook Is that the Germans may
com ate and elevate the Turk for their
ok ii advantage if nothing morp. \nd
it may be said that beneath his hes
tlpitty and savagery the unspenkahle
ope has many good qualities among
v. loch me courage and a sense of
hcnol lu <- lumber of ways. And
evn at that ofrhaps Turkish figh:-rs
me little w. or than some others in
the burribl a t ntchery of the present
VfU.
Every mad fiom the outside brings
to lo 'al i mchan’s in nearly’ pv">ry’
fine of l.ii'rrrs letters from the
v holesaIe i oj-’ers which tell of fur
thtr tic!"a.os in prices of commodi
ties. Flour is extraordinarily high and
this is due in part to the small erso
of wheat last season. The war, how
ever, Is exactly chargeable for most
of the price advances according to the
verdict of t/any experts. Suffering
F trope I uys of us not only muni
tions but also staple food products
such as bet.t.s. canned milk, dried
fruits, liniiia meat and even potatoes.
This being so we all have a right
to lake a lively Interest In the qu«s
11on of *he probable end of the war.
American military observers are qunt
e* as fay'rg that the war is tikelv to
last as many as five years more. Tt
may or may net go that far. the issue
a Imp an decide. But It does not
seen, nwbnble that this country’ wilt
ctni't.ue to ship food supplies verv
much longer. There must he a limit
in 'ood prices beyond which the av
*:age American cannot go unless
there be an unprecedentede and un
expected rise In. wages and salaries.
I.
■ There must come a time soon when
r the United States will be forced to
I place an embargo on the expert of
food stuffs as a necessary measure
1 of self-preservation. Quite likely
, serious dlfficulles between the United
j States and the allied nations would
> follow such a step even though it
i w re made plain that it was done only
t for the benefit of our own people.
• Perhaps President Wilson's continued
t efforts to bring about peace are due
s to his desire to avoid such an ex
1 treme measure and the resulting
• strained relations between our coun
try and the ullies. To sum up, prices
of food cannot go very much higher
without an Increase of wages all
along the line. Such an increase in |
wages will not be gis’en freely. A
general strike alone could bring about
that result. But the probable out- ;
come of a general strike would be n
paralysis of business with possible l
frightful conditions. The other al
ternative would be to keep our food
at home by firm governmental action
This might Involve U3 In difficulties
with Great Britain, France, Italy,
Russia, and Japan. From any view
point the situation Is Increasing!.'
difficult. So far as we are concerned
the best solution would be cessation
of fighting.
