They also realize that be ies doing bie utmost to hold the republic in a firm grasp and to prevent war and disaster. But millions of citizens are in dire need and distress for the want of daily food, and pray tbat speedy re- lief may be given them by the law- making forces of the nation who have direct power to come to their rescue. There is a corrupt practice in vogue among certain clasees whereby cereals, fruit and vegetables are, for a certain price paid by wholesale purchasers, pot harvested and marketed, but al- lowed to rot, Persons involved in gach drastic acta on either side of a deal should be severely punished. Both bribers and the bribed should be heavily fined and Imprisoned. There is a corrupt practice in vogue between numerous commission mer- chants and railways whereby produce is allowed to be shipped, but not de- livered, in order that the markets can be held in a starved condition, that the merchant will be able to charge the consumer exorbitant pricee. Hundreds of millions of bushels of vegetables are so held in check during certain times of the year until the food rots or is dumped, all done to prevent delivery. Every culprit en- gaged in such damnable work should be prevented from doing business or heavily fined and imprisoned. There is a corrupt practice in vogue whereby a great quanity of food prod- acts is stored for long periods in order to force up prices. A pation that al- lows such conditions is untrue to its people. Mandates should speedily he enacted to prevent storsge of food longer then frcm thirty to fifty days. Any person violating euch a law, once it is epscted, should have his stock confiscated and be severely fined snd imprisoned. A pation that does not foster and protect its people againet the greedy who conspire tn rob them, is a failure, Ten millions of cur people are now at the point of starvation. Twenty mil lion of more are in dire need of food and can not get it owing to greed and high prices, The time is at hand when, as 8 matter of self-respect, our government should come to our res- cue to prevent further suffering.

The Methodist Episcopal church has had Rev. 3. W. Meclinay, who is well known in Penns Valley, two years.
