The committee TO investigate the
increased cost Of living has at last
been appointed in the Senate by the
Vice President of the United States
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts is
chairman. Senators Gallinger, Sim
nous, Crawford, Smoot and McCum
Der are members of the committee.
1t will be remembered that there
was a dispute a week or two ago
between Senator Elkins of West
Virginia and Lodge of Massachus-
etts with reference to leadership in
this investigation. Remembering
this, Vice President Sherman an.
nounced that in accordance with
custom, he ha6 offered the chain :
manship TO Senator Elkius, the au-
thor OF the resolution under which
the inquiry is to be conducted, bot
that Senator Elkins, having charge
of the Interstate Commerce Bill,
wuold be unable to serve as cl air
man of this COMMITTEES. 1t had
been expected that open hearings
would be held by the Committee,
but Chairman Lodge, it is und
stood, does nat favor this plan aud
is Of opinion that better work can
be done by calling in experts from
the various executive departments
who are supposed to have special
knowledge of the many subjects 10
be probed. Senator Lodge h, s
promiled that the investigation wi |
be thorough and cover fully the
wide scope provided for the resolu-
tion He said also that il the tar
id Is respcn nsible for the increased
cost of the necessaries of life, the
committee would bring out all the
facts. Those who pay the market
bills doubtless want to know the
facts, but wonld have more faith in
the investigation if Senator Cum
minis of Iowa, or LaFolletto and
other insurgent Senators had been
appointed on the comm ittee. The
names on the committee as appoint
ed does not inspire fullest conf
dence that the question of high
prices will be probed to the bottom.

WHY SHOULD WE MoURNP


In memorian to AUNT MAMIE.
Why should we mourn the dead?
They sleep to wake again,
Their last breath brings new life
That is free from earthly pain.
Parting will not be long,
The years so quickly fly
We will not mourn our friends
We shall meet them bye and bye.
Yes meet to never part
In that heaven abode of rest
Where sighs and MORNINGS cease,
Where the angels and the blest
Sing cauticles of praise
To our Father, Heavens King
May we all join with them
And we too His praises sing.

The danger was by no means slight.
Orme decided quickly to get away
from this neighborhood. But just as
he was about to bid the life-saver q
casual goodnight, two men came
around the corner of the building.
One was a policeman. the other a
young Japanese. Orme unobtrusive-
ly seated himself on the edge OF the
little veranda.

"All right. guess" replied the life

Japanese.

mounting the steps, he led his inter.

Now, indeed. 1t was time for Orme
to slip away. Maku might be brought

Maku. and he realized. for that mat

charge away.
