Chanler, with the case of Ray- mond Hitchcock, it is stated, may re- suit in the abandonment of the crim- inal libel proceedings instituted by MT Chanler against w." R. Hearst. The matter is now pending before the grand jury, MT Hearst being held for the action of that body atfer pre- liminary hearing before Justice Wyatt.
 While l have not consulted MT Chanler about the matter" said Sid- ney B, Harris, personal attorney for MT Chanler to-day, ''the retraction is so thorough and so complete a vindi- cation of my client, I do not believe MT Chanler will feel it is necessary further to press the proceedings against MT Hearst The acknow- ledgment of error and the personal re- gret expressed by MT Hearst in to- days retraction were such as to leave little to be gained by urging the mat ter before the grand jury and per- sonally, l do not believe the grand jury will now be asked to indict."

 There has been howl of late years that commodities were increas- ing in price. True enough, too, but for the last three months or so the prices of commodities have generally been going down and the less the wage earner has to pay out for living the better, of course, he is off.
 "Extravagance is chiefly responsi- ble for the various periods of hard times through which this country passes. Extravaganza on the part of everybody-rich and poor and mod erately we'll offs the great weak ness of the American nation. And not only is the private individual too extravagant, but the state and national governments are too extrav- agant as we'll"
