ATTACK USELESS PRINTING
Charge Made That Warehouse in
Washington Is Overflowing With
Documents That Will Never Be
Used.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington.' It seems to be abso-
lutely necessary to Issue constant
warnings to the American people about
the saving of food. And yet. so far
as observation goes in the national
capital there has been no very great
attempt to curtail the use of food-
stulTs,^'xcept so as to comply with
the requests made by Food Adminis-
trator Hoover In regard to meatless
and whcntless days. There Is still In
sight In the markets and the stores
plenty of supplies, apparently, and as
long as money is unite free the pe< -
ple are likely in buy those supplies.
While Mr. Hoover Issues a note of
alarm from time to time, the real
scare has reached congress, and par-
ticularly those senators and repre-
sentatives who have been Investigat-
ing the food situation. The members
of the agricultural committee of the
senate have been really alarmed by
statements which have been made be-
fore them, which so far have not reach-
ed tin- general public. Several of the
senators are particularly anxious about
the meat supply, anil Senator Kenyon
of Iowa, who has given a great deal
of attention to the subject, feels that
there will be a meat famine in the
i'nlted States within a year, even If
every possible means should he adopt-
ed to Increase the supply,
"The people have not paid enough
attention to production," Is the con-
clusion of Senator Kenyon.
• kola, who made a miner MriKiiui
speech In the t<clMte last Week on the
conditions of (i iinr and the extrava-
gance of the government. thinks that
the question of labor might be lolled
I to sonic extent If a great many pei ile
i who have been Idle should ho set in
work. Taking tisiis tigurc* of
I'.mki, the latest available, lie found
that there were males between the ii|i'«
of eighteen and sixty two to the num-
ber of ii,.V«l.aV.' who were not em-
ployed In any gainful occupation. Be-
tween the same ages were in round
numbers .<mmi.imhi women who were
not engaged In any remunerative em-
ployment. lie said that there were
enough unemployed men to make up
the shortage of labor In the shipbuild-
ing plants and on the farms, and many
women could take the places of men
In their present occupations. Hut be
did not explain how in tills land of
the f.ee we were going to make these
unemployed go to work either in the
factory, shop or on the farm.

The prb wheat Is likely to be-
come a very Interesting subject. Judg-
ing from the communications that are
sent to congress. Senator Owen had
a letter from Oklahoma read to the
senate not long ago stating the posi-
tion of the wheat farmers and com-
plaining that the farmers who had
been able to hoard their wheat were
going to get better prices now than
those who sold some time ago. The
letter was couched In homely phrase
and badly written, and seemed to fur-
nish amusement to ipilte a number of
| senators, but It conveyed lust what
' the farmer meant. The question nat-
urally arises whether other farmers
are not thinking along the same lines.
; nnd If they, too, feel that they are not
gottlnrr all they ought to have on ac-
count of price living on their particu-
lar staple product.
Senator Smoot of I'tnh, for the most
part a very dlllrent senator In np-
islng useless printing, was asking
In the senate to have some pictures
printed as a part of the report of the
Panama railroad commission. Most
of the senators thought he was ask-
ing to have the report printed, which
under the law must he printed anyway,
and this caused Senator Polndexterof
Washington to ask: "Will anybody
read It?"
"Whenever anything appears print-
ed as a senate document," remarked
Senator Thomas of Colorado. "It Is
burled In the archives and buried for-
ever." lie then told the senate that
the governme"t. had rented a ware-
house somewhi • In the outskirts of
the city of Washington and It was
tilled to overflowing with documents
printed by the government that are
not used, and never will be used.
Then Senator fSronnn of North Da-
kota took n hand In the discussion
and complained bitterly hi cause he
was debarred from bavin • petitions
of his constituents printed In the Con-
gressional Record on account of the
shortage of paper, nnd yet tons and
tons of these unread documents were
'icing printed by the government.
There continues to he talk In con-
cress about graft and extravagance,
and so far it lias been kept out of the
range of party politics, for Democrats
as well as Republicans Join in the crit-
icisms. Some members of the domi-
nant party are Inclined to make light
of the alleged extravagance In con-
ducting the war, while others say that
no war was ever waged yet which did
not mean extravagance on account of
the necessity for speed In procuring
supplies.
"Talk about that old saying, 'Tho
old flag and an appropriation.'" said
one of the prominent Democratic sen-
ators. "we have not only got the flag,
but we are getting the appropriations, '
"And you are making the Republic-
ans look like pikers, nlthoin h von crit-
icized us day In and day out when we
were in power," was the reply of one
of the Republican senators.
Just what Interest has been hold-
ing ii|i the bill to set the clock ahead
and save an hour of daylight Is not
apparent, but for some reason or other
this measure has been held tip In the
house after passing the si mite many
months ago, and has not yet become a
law. So far as can he nscer'alned
nearly everybody Is for It. or at least
no one Is against It. Tin national
chamber of commerce has made a
canvass of Its members, and they seem
to be almost unanimous in favor of
the measure, and what Is more, they
have found half a hundred good tea-
sons why It should pas -. This may be
like other measures which have very
strong apparent v''| port, but upon
which there I* no atliriuatlve action,
\ campaign is now under way which
is intended to eiicotiiv.gc the use of
the Publish language in America, A
rii-i'iit statebiilil says that .Yimni.imn)
people lu America are speaking more
than loo different languages, not one
or which Is Kngllsh; that thousands
of aliens in our trainlnu camps are
yet unable to understand Military or-
ders and lions. Sim. than 1.10(1
newspapers mid perlodl'nls are printed
in foreign languages, of whirl, more
than 700 are written for and read by
emigrants from countries with which
the i'nlted States Is at war.
Senator ,Mc('iiinbcr of North Da-
In the course of a speech on the
railroad bill ('nngres-mnn Stephens of
Nebraska referred to the "plunder-
bunders who specialize In the wreck-
ing of railroads." Ile went on to say
that "the story of the wrecking of
the Ilock Island railroad is equal to
that of any single 'Diamond Dick'
novel that was ever printed. The filth
is that as highwaymen these wreckers
make the performances of .lesse .Tames
look trivial and inconsequential."
Possibly to the student of finance
and economics the story of railroad
wrecking Is equal In Interest to that
of "Diamond Dick," or many others
of the same Ilk, hut It Is more than
probable that the average hoy who
revels In so-called dime-novel litera-
ture would much prefer the old-fash-
ioned thrillers to railroad wrecking
stories.
Senator Sherman of Illlhols, who Is
given to making speeches of some
length and quite frequently, took the
floor the other day to present his views
and was Interrupted by Senator Horali,
who said there was so much disorder
in the chamber that others could not
hear the senator.
"It is the senate's own business,
i presume," said Sherman, "what kind
of order Is preserved, and 1 thank the
senator from Idaho for reminding it
of Its own duty to preserve Its parlia-
mentary self-respect. So far as I am
concerned. * will make myself heard
if i want to, nnd If I do not, I can
talk without an audience In the cham-
ber. The galleries are always here,
and, after all, most of us are talk-
lug to the galleries anyhow. We are
getting used to empty seats. I am per-
fectly oblivious to the order preserved
or to anybody's being present except
the reporters, to whom I can dictate,
and who are very appreciative of any-
thing that may be said."
Senator Nelson of Minnesota had an
interesting interview with n man who
wanted to secure a commission in the
army. "I will not recommend any
man for a commission," remarked the
Minnesota senator. "If you want to
go In as a private and take your chan-
ces I will recommend you."
The man explained that lie had
been brought up rather well, that Ills
father was a I'nlon soldier ami served
In the rank1-, and that he thought his
education and Intelligence entitled lit in
to a position where he could serve the
country better than as a private.
"What has your father got to do
with it?" asked Nelson, "lie did his
duty If he served as a private. Why
can't you do likewise? I served as a
private. The trouble with this war
|s that we have too many ol'lcers and
not enough privates."
As lie turned away the senator re-
marked to a friend; "1 am getting
very tired ot seeing so many leather
pi]111 s lii the city of Washington. All
you have to do Is glance at the legs of
a man In uniform to see If he Is ail
