the recent primary struggle between
Carmack and Patterson, rival aspir-
ants for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination. has left soreness which
shows no sign OF healing. and which
prompts many Carmack Democrats TO
openly assert that they will vote for
the Republican ticket rather than for
Patterson. That contest was not so
overwhelmingly decided as might be
made to appear from noticing the ex-
pressions in the northern press TO the
effect that Carmack is now down and
out. Out of a total vote of $50 600,
Patterson won by not to exceed 6 600.
While Carmack has gone of on a
lecture tour and is in this way seek
ing TO rehabilitate his shattered for
tune, he has following which is loyal
and intense in the state.
The issue on which the primary
was fought was on prohibition. Mr..
Patterson contended for local option.
Mr.. Carmack contended for state
wide prohibition as the only practical
means of bringing about a condition
OF sobriety and morality. which is
much desired by the people OF the
state. How much It is desired is
shown by the fact that today there
are but three counties OF the state
which do not have absolute prohibi-
tion.s

classification is attempted, and the
directors of the Hayes Mechanics
home find themselves without a chart
for their guidance. They are trus-
tees for home intended only for
mechanics. II they admit man
who is not mechanic they violate
the trust. and yet they have no sure
means Of determining what workmen
are mechanics.
Recently they had another prob
lem before them which has not yet
been solved. An applicant for admis-
sion had served a term as apprentice
to a cabinetmaker, but had never
worked at his trade. Was he a me-
chanic? II he studied law and had
been admitted to the bar he would be
a lawyer, even though he had never
practiced. and this analogy would
seem to make him mechanic, even
though he had never worked az
such. And yet. even though this
should be admitted, is he such a me-
chanic as should be admitted to the
home under the terms of the will of
Mr.. Hayes? The questions that arise
under the terms of the will are very
confusing at times. and they are pre-
sented here not with the purposeio OF
determining them, but to show that
seemingly simple problems may, In
fact. be very abstrnse and diflcult

Philadelphia. have been wrestling
with it for years, and have never
reached conclusion satisfactory to
all of them. The off-hand definition
OF mechanic. and one that Is found
in the dictionaries. is that me-
chanic is man who works with
tools. In applying 1t TO particular
cases II does not work well, for a
laborer works with tools. and so do
dentists and surgeons. II we add
skilled" and say ."skilled worker
with tools" we exclude the laborer
leave the dentist and surgeon c!assed
as mechanics. Another definition
of mechanics is "a man who makes
something with tools" This defini-
tion excludes the laborer and the
surgeon, but not the dentist. and it
excludes also some house mechanics,
such as the painter.
AS matter of fact, the supreme
court of Pennsylvania has decided
that a painter is not mechanic.
II has also decided that a printer is
a mechanic. A baker makes some
thing, but not usually with tools; a
butcher makes nothing. but employs
tools. II is impossible to give a
definition of a mechanic which will
satisfy everybody; it is almost, IL not
quite, as difficult to make list of
occupations that is be-
yond criticism. A gardener is re-
garded as mechanic by some who
would exclude a farmer from such
Classification. and yet farmer is
only a gardener on a larger scale.
A tailor might be regarded as a
mechanic because he uses tools to
make something. but his trade has
been subdlvided and the question aris
es whether a cutter is a mechanic.
The difficulties multiply when a.

These public hearings will precede the report to be made by the committee on any of the several currency expansion bills that have been introduced into the House.
 Before the hearings have been com pleted, it is expected that the com mittee will have heard the opinions ol leading representatives of commercial agricultural, industrial and labor or ganizations, as well as the recommen- dations of bankers and fnanciers.

TO CONTROL
TIMBER CUTTING

State or federal regulation of tim
ber cutting on lands in private owner
ship is a new departure in the way of
government regulation which may be
effected this winter, say lumbermen
in this city, as a result of the disas-
trous forest fires which have made
this season historic in the annals of
the lumber industry Timber owners
here and throughout the Lake and
Northwestern states, who have be-
gun to figure up the cost of the fires,
have come to the conclusion that
something more radical must be done
than establishing scattered fire pa
trolls. That this something will be
regulation by the state or federal
governments, which will not only in
sure greater protection from fire but
will also protect the soil from erosion
and the streams from floods and
droughts, is indicated by the publica-
ton In one OF the leading lumber
journals of an opinion by Judge j. w.
Judd. OF the law department OF Van
derbilt University, and formerly at
torney for the Louisville a Nashville
Railroad Co., on the power Of the
government TO control timber cutting
on private lands. In this opinion,

PRICE or
TURKEYS
GOING UP

Chicago, Nov. 19.--Again the tur-
key crop is short "alarmingly short" "
as 1t is just prior to Thanksgiving day
each year in justification of the
prices charged AS Chicago con-
sumes 100000 pounds of turkey, in
addition to half a million pounds of
other poultry at Thanksgiving time,
the shortage" cost this city alone a
pretty penny, in the neighborhood of
$125,000. Last year turkey prices
scared like the wise old gobblers that
take to resting high just prior to the
festivities, the advance coming about
the time the hopewives began buy
ing in earnest. Curlously enough the
severity of the annual shortages"
of turkeys, cranberries, pumpkins and
oysters are simultaneous-all are
short together at the crucial time.
Everything that is handled in South
Water street gets scarce" in the re-
tail markets and the scarcity is traced
to the commission merchants, whose
consignors hear only of glut in the
Chicago markets. Last year the COM
NISSAN merchants blamed the farm
ers and poultry shippers, the poultry
shippers pointed an accusing finger
at South Water street where practi-
cally the produce of the city in whole
sale lots is handled, and the retailer
put the blame there also, pleading in
nocence OF extortion himself. Tur-
keys went up to 25 cents a pound last
year, cranberries to 12k cents the
quart, pumpkins to 20 cents each
and oysters to 40 cents. as against
IL cents for turkeys, cents for cram
berries, 10 cents for pumpkins and
