THE SOFT WATER CURE.
WIPES DEVOTION MAY YET FREE
 ICE KING MORSE
4s5 FAIRFIELD AVENUE.
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 Washington, Aug. N.-Mrs. Charles W. Morse is supposed to be on her way north today from Atlanta. Ca. where she visited her husband at. the Fed eral penitentiary and she may stop IT Washington for a conference with the Department of Justice officials re- garding the application for the bank CTS pardon.
 Her activity has kept the case in public notice with the result that hun dreds have been interested to the ex- tent of writing letters to President Taft asking that the ice king be given his freedom.
 When the petition and letters will be submitted to the President has not been decided. It seems certain, how ever, that~th showing will be one of the most formidable ever made in be- half of a Federal prisoner.
 The general impression in Washing ton is that the President will not grant the application for pardon.
 Morse operated on such vast scale and his offenses are so recent and so fresh in the public mind that accord ing to the common belief the President will decide that the prisoner has not vet received his full measure of pun ishment Morse was sentenced to serve 15 years. The fidelity and en- ergy of his wife however, and the SUD- port she has enlisted, are depended up- on to convince some President at no far time in the future that Morse was guilty of only technical violation of the banking laws and that he has been punished enough.

STRONG REASON WHY
 COST OF LIVING IS
 HIGH IN PORT CHESTER County Sealer of Weights and Measures Finds that People Do Not Get What
 They Pay For Drilled Weights, Light Weight Packages, Short Measures and Doctored Scales Found As Thick As Pleas on a Dogs Back.

| James Moen. of Yonkers County
 Sealer of Weights and Measures spent
 several hours in Port Chester, on | Wednesday.
 | He visited one hundred stores, and | when he finished:
 | T have found no worse conditions
 anywhere, than found today in Port | Chester"
 Short weight artists were as thick
 time.
 He said further that he found con- | ditions as bad in some of the larger
 stores as in the smaller ones.
 He found several weights where a | hole had been drilled out underneath | making a difference of from two to | three ounces to the pound. This, he | characterized as plain swindling. He | showed some of them to the Daily Item man.
 He weighed over 200 peck bags of potatoes, which, according to law should weigh fifteen pounds, but which tipped the scales at from ele- cd weight, but every one was short. There Is a heavy penalty for selling by bags, unless said bags conform to the legal weight measure. He found that fifty per cent of the packages of butter, coffee, sugar and
 
 were light in weight.
 He found that eighty per cent of the merchants whose stores be visit ed sold beans and similar articles by liquid measure, while the law says they should be sold by dry mea- sure. Thef difference between dry and liquid measure, is fifteen per cent. The merchant, though he may sell by liquid measure, is always most care full buy by dry measure.
 MT. Moen says that many of the merchants he visited have no regard for weight at all.
 He adjusted over fifty scales while he was in town, all ofthem from an ounce to three ounces out of the way. Not one of them favored the cus- toner.
 He found most of the new com putting scales correct, but some that have been in service for several years registered too fast, and were adjust ed by the inspector.
 MT. Moen left with each merchant a receipt for all weights he examined. He also ordered some dealers to dis continue the use of certain weights and have them made to conform Ito the standard weight. or purchase new ones. He also warned all dealers of the penalty for using short weights. MT Moen turns over his report to the State Inspector of Weights and Mea sures, and calls his attention to all violations of law that he has dis covered. The State Inspector, after giving the merchants of a town am lsple time to correct their weights and measures, then sends his deputies to ascertain whether the County Sealer's s orders have been obeyed. If not, of lenders are prosecuted to the full ex- tent of the law.
 The high cost of living is the most serious question that housekeepers | have to grapple with. From the re- suit of the visit of County Sealer of Weights and Measures Moen, it is evil dent that in Port Chester, as well as | in many other towns and cities, one | has not only to contend with 1n- | creased prices of food stuff, but also | with dealers who give their patrons | short weights.

new four-act comedy drama, which Elsie Ferguson brings to Jackson's s theatre next Monday and Tuesday ev- enings, Henry B. Harris had great diff ficulty in securing a suitable actor. The part Is that of young mill super intendent, about whom the action prin- cfpally centers, notwithstanding the fact that 1t is Miss Fergusons starring vehicle. The role demands a type sim liar to the young Mayor in "The Man of American manhood; one who has the courage to oppose the policy of his superiors, in employing child labor, in order that the company can pay enor- nous dividends. After carefully con- sidering the qualifications of a score of prominent actors, Frank Mills was finally entrusted with the difficult role of the young superintendent.

MERELY A MATTER
 OF MACHINE RULE
Republican Voter Calls Atten. ton to a Recent Caucus in
 Nearby Town

Editor of Farmer, Sir:-
 At Republican Caucus recently held in nearby town, there was some methods employed that gave little pleasure to the rank and file of the party, and which may be remembered by them, and resented in the future. They realize that while leadership is necessary, it may be carried too far when, men are herded like sheep anC permitted to cast a ballot previously prepared by the machine and in the selection they have no voice. Except to comply with law the caucus was a roaring farce, AS is we'll known within the next few weeks there will be held four conventions, wis. state, county, congressional and senatorial. Delegates are elected in caucus from each town, the number being govern ed by each towns number of represen- tative in the general assembly.
 The machine finds that to carry out certain schemes, certain ones must be sent to these several conventions. on whom they can rely to vote accord inc to instructions, so interested par ties cause these names to be typewrit- ten on ballots and distributed among the ''herd' who meekly receive and deposit in the box their choice (? and then you are the intelligent voter has spoken.
 While the names of those on the ballot may be all that could be de- sired and no doubt of their ability to deliver the goods as per plans of the machine at the same time the average voter would feel that his rights and privileges were not being infringed upon if these names had been presented in an open caucus, as voters expect, and have a right to expect.
 Two years ago the same result was obtained although by different tactics and the machine may rest assured that the thinking voters after the ex- perience of Aug. 23, will have good memories and act accordingly.

 MAN ON THE STAGE

The time-worn fallacy that to gain recognition behind the footlights, one must begin by playing minor bits in obscure stock companies. has been ex- ploded, and on every hand are exam pies of successful actors who stepped from the ranks of College Dramatic Associations into prominent parts in reputable dramatic and musical pro- auctions. The little learning that is supposed to be a dangerous thing, and which is acquired by course at our Colleges and Universities, provides a substantial foundation for the young dramatic aspirant.
 Frank Mills, leading man for Elsie Ferguson in "A Matter of Money, which comes to Jackson's theatre Mon day and Tuesday next, is a shining ex- ample of the successful actor who is 8 College-bred man. Before going on the stage, he attended the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, where he was enrolled as a law student. But his taste for the stage soon asserted itself, and while the Bar may have
