Congress Wants to Know.

There is to be an investigation Of
high prices, possibly two or three Of
them. Senator Stephen b. Elkins OF
West Virginia has put in resolution to
appoint q committee of five senator's
to inquire into the subject, Senator Coe
/. Crawford Of South Dakota has In
troduced another resolution which en-
powers the secretary of commerce and
labor to conduct the investigation,
while one or two similar measures
have gone into the house. President
Taft favors an inquiry. and Secretary
Of Agriculture Wilson is already max
ing one. AS to what will come from
all these pr0befests it is hard to say.
Congressional Investigations are some
times fearful and wonderful things.

bined trusts are concerned. And /
think these doubts would be shared by
nine out of ten men In the country. An
inquiry by Secretary Wilson would
have more public confidence
While all these Investigations and
threatened investigations of food prices
are going on, there Is one movement
that may come to much or little &C.
cording to whether the people take It
as crusade or a joke. 1t Is the pro-
posed boycott Of high priced trust
products led by DR.. +. l.. Scharf Of
Washington. Dr.. Scharf wants to get
a million householders to join him In
the boycott and proposes to start with
meat. The only trouble with this pro-
gram is that il Scharf and his million
boycott all high priced trust goods they
may starve to death.

Why Not Accuse the Weather.

AS an instance, several people who
ought to know better have claimed
that lack of scientifie methods I'm farm
ing is responsible for the advance in
prices, when, as matter of fact, there
was never SO much scientific farming
as today. Another claims that labor
unions are responsible, when every
real student of the question knows
that prices have advanced much fast
er than wages. There is something
more In the claim of lack of farm
ers and scarcity Of farm labor, and
yet the improvement in agricultural
machinery has supplied this defect in
great degree. With modern tools one
man can do as much ON the farm as
two or three used to do. Moreover,
Secretary Wilson's crop report shows
each years acreage and yield larger
than those Of the year before. There
is undoubtedly congestion In the cities,
and this would produce increased con-
yet taken alone it would not
account for the radical boosting of

and Aldrich have not been accused Of

that is much the same thing.

COST OF LIVING.
Formation of Trusts a Strong
Factor - How Congress viii
Investigate the Question ::

Thus there is a flaw in the argument
somewhere. If the price of hides has
gone up because the supply has de-
creased, why should not the price of
meat have gone down when the de-
mand decreased? In other words,
the argument that decreased consump-
ton OF meat has produced higher
prices of leather because it cut off the
supply is refuted by the fact that it
has not caused lower prices of meat.
although it cut off the demand. i have
taken trouble to show fallacy of this
because it is so plausible and because
1t is ON a par with lot Of other fan
tastic explanations of high prices.

She Burned. the House.

A woman in Montana sat down the
other day and thought about house,
cleaning-about the carpets and rugs
to clean, the woodwork to wash the
bedding to wash, the curtains to,
wash, the portieres to wash, the
stairways and the ratings and the
floors and the steps and the windows
and everything else to be wahed and
cleaned-and she got so worried over
the prospect that she set fire to the
house. Do you blame her? If she
had only known as you do that He
Wits Easy Task soap will do half
the work of washing and cleaning,
he would have felt more cheerful.

BUSINESS IN JUSTICES
COURTS VERY RUSHING
One Trial May Lead to a
Bigamy Charge.
Case of Benedict Against W. II. Davis
and Son Comes To n Sudden Ter
minatiOn.

The case of Walt Dckason against
W. w. Ulsh, a suit for $l4.44 for la
Dor in Justice Conley's court has
been postponed until Monday.
Because the defendant failed TO
appear Victor L. Brooks, plaintiff in
a replevin suit against Mary Dowell,
of Columbus. was given judgment In
Justice Conley's court today and pos
session of $235 worth of furniture
In dipute was given to the PLAINTIFF.
1t was alleged by the plaintiff that
the defendant did not appear be-
cause of fear of arrest for bigamy.
He alleges that while the wife OF
another man in Columbus she came
here met him and accepted his pro-
posal of marriage. leading him to be-
lieve that she was a single woman.
Later she left him and went to her
hubby No. l., he declares. Suit TO
replevin the furniture followed. 1t is
likely that the court will investigate
the bigamy charge.
One of the most unusual cases was
tried in Justice G. T.. Gompf's court
today when A. F. Benedict brought
suit against w. Il. Davis and Son
for $40 for cash register alleged
to have been sold to them last fall
The transaction was peculiar one
and II developed that Davis and Son
never saw Benedict before and had
had no dealings with him, where
upon the court dismissed the case.
1t seems that F.. w. Whips had a
livery bill at the w. f.. Davis and
Son livery. He settled this by giving
his notes for $50. Whips resided In
Union county. The note fell due and
he failed to pay. 1t was renewed
several times and finally w. f. Davis
despairing of ever collecting the a.
mount turned 1t over to j. Inskeep, a
painter who lived near Whips In
| Union county without consideration
Benedict later sold Inskeep a cash
| register and agreed to take the note

ner thought that Davis was the mar
who bought the cash register and de-
livered the note over to him, hence
the suit and the termination given
above.

New York's Newspapers
Discuss the Defeat of
Aldrich.
Ry limited Press Wire.

New York, April 20-The Havens
victory 1T Rochester yesterday is
made the subject for editorial COM
ment in practically all the New York
newspapers. The Times says the
Democratic victory is more than n
revolt against impure state politics,
adding:
1.-THE people do not at all agree
with the president when he says the
Payne Aldrich tariff Is q good tariff.
They have been unable to agree with
his complacent, view of the works of
the old leaders at Washington, of
that stalwarth Republican organiZa-
tion just now falling to pieces through
the overthrow of Cannon and the an
nounced retirement OF Aldrich and
Hale"
The morning World says 1.-THE
tariff issue, used with such telling ef-
feet by Mr.. Foss in the Plymouth
doubtedly contributed to the result
Rochester does not differ from Boston
or Kansas City in resenting broken
pledges rc the Republican party in
Washington"
The Press declares Havens election
as q splendid Republican victory due
to unclean state and national politics
and not to the tariff legislation.
Hearst's American says 1.-THE ulti-
mate portent of the event in Roches-
ter Is that the spirit of political in
dependence is abroad in the land
sweeping away the debris of old poll
tican machines, cancelling the NOM
nations of disgraceful candidates and
preparing the way for new politics
of honesty, openness and efficiency. y
The Tribune: the result dested en-
tirely upon the moral issues of the
and that public sentiment forced the
defeat of Aldridge.

SPLITTING STATISTICS
VERY INTERESTING
(By Union Associated Press.)

Washington, May 3.-Statistics on
splitting, expectorating and allied
topics were presented and discussed
today at a meeting of the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis. Officials of the
association assert that anti-spitting
ordinances are not enforced as they
should be as otherwise nearly all of
the men of the country would be in
jail. A campaign of education and
law enforcement will Immediately be
commenced with this aim in view.
The report of the association covers
in detail the enforcement of the anti
splitting ordinances in eighty of the
largest cities in the country. During
the year 1909 in these eighty cities,
3,412 arrests were made for violation
of the laws regarding splitting in pub
lie places. Over 1900 convictions
were secured and $4,100.S7 was col
lected in fines.
New York City had more arrests
than any other city, having had 2,513
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1910-05-03

with 2.099 convictions, and $1,936.S0
collected in fines. Baltimore comes
next with 142 arrests and an equal
number of convictions. Pittsburg is
third in rank with ST. Louis in fourth
place. st. Louis, however, would
have been in second place, if the sani-
tary police who enforce the law in
that city had been at work in 1909.
In fifty-two cities out of the eighty
the law was either not enforced at
all or very poorly enforced OF the
remaining twenty-eight cities, less
than one-half of them contributed
more than three-fourths of the ar
rests for splitting and of the fines
collected.

Jackson, Miss, May 3.-Hon. Rob-
ert E. Wilson, secretary of the con-
stitutional convention of 1890, is send
ing out letters to the surviving mem
bers of that body suggesting re-
union in Jackson at an early date.
OF the 134 members of the conven-
ton, 6s are dead, leaving sc men,
bers who can probably attend the
meeting, If one is held here. 1t is
Mr.. Wilson's idea, and rather unique
one, to have the members spend about
three days here, carrying out a pro-
gramme of addresses and papers on
various subjects.
Many of the distinguished men of
that day have passed away, while a
few members have left the state or
others have changed their place of

This was the advice of prominent

Belching of gas. heaviness, sour

The blood needs nourishment to
