MERCHANTS DENOUNCE
EXAMINER METHODS
SCoRCHING RESOLUTIONS BY THE
GROCERS' ASSOCIATION.
The Yellow Sheets Position on a
Certain Bill Scored as Dis
honest and Contrary
to Public Welfare.

Long and emphatic were the denuncia-
tons of Examiner methods" INDUCED in
by the members of the Retail Grocers'
Association at their annual meeting held
last night at Bnai Birth Hall. Over a
hundred of the leading grocers of the city
were present, and each man had a COM
plant at the way in which the Examiner
had lied about the purport of the bill the
Grocers' Association, together with the
Butchers Board of Trade, intends to pre-
sent to the present Legislature.
The general opinion, as expressed by
many members. seemed to be that the
Examiner was seeking to gain little
fake prestige by working on the sympa-
thies of ill-informed people with false
statements as to what the merchants
wished
The following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted
Whereas, the Examiner has falsely stated
that the Retail Grocers Association and the

his bills through misfortune or otherwise

fected in the least by BILL and whereas,

force payment from those who can pay but

resting upon the governments OF civilized people In
own country very little has been done either by
the nation by States to fulfill the duty this respon-
sibilty imposes We have not protected the
forests from waseful fires, though, President Eliot
says, "the experience of Canada has proved, under
conditions analogous to those which exist in own
territory, that forest guards and patrols do much
to keep down fires even in the drest seasons.
In the meantime, while the importance OF forest
protection is being urged upon the States and upon
the nation, it will be well for our universities to be-
gin to give scientific education upon the subject
Sooner or later the work OF forestry will have to be
undertaken large scale, and there will then be
needed men who understand it. When that time
comes it should not be necessary for to have to
send abroad for experts to take charge OF the work

THE BLACK LIST GROWS.

\ jHEN The Call published yesterday morning
ANI a list OF the men who had so far forgotten
themselves as to vote for Dan Burns for
United States Senator, there was to suppose
the black array complete.
Nobody dreamed that any other member OF either
House would far forget his honor, his duty to his
constituents and to society to voluntarily sign the
roll OF dishonor Yet Json OF Shasta has done this.
He has bartered his reputation for vain hope, and
has joined the forces of Burns. There is not much
to say The only necessity is to publish the black
list again, adding to this new name. Here is the
list as it now appears:

ment to Json to annex himself to the number al
ready branded matters not The fact appears that he
has done so, and explanation will in any measure
shield him. H has defed the warnings OF the peo-

OF help for carrying on the work Miss
Wright was introduced to the congrega-

THE cry of bitter distress that is 60
Ing up from Turkey is beyond words"
said Miss Wright THE question is not
whether some fellow men can be saved
by the word, but If we can be saved II we
keep the word to ourselves. Over 100000
martyrs have died for the faith in Ar
men1a. and the problem that confronts
the missionaries is how to care for the
children. A year ago there were rs or
phens In one institution in Armenia, and
the director told me that seventy-fve
would have to go because there was in
sufficient means. And all this in the faca

women have been freed from that kind
of a bondage"
