POUCH OF MAIL DISAPPEARS v It Contained $20,OO0-Mail Clerk Is Indefinitely
 Suspended

Greensboro, N. C., November IA mail pouch routed from Raleigh to New York and containing $2O,OOO disappeared two weeks ago, 1t became known yesterday in a manner similar to recently reported $20OOO theft of a pouch at Lynchburg, Va. Beyond admitting the loss of the valuable package, officials refuse to dis cuss the matter.
 Il is declared unofficialy that the Ral- eigll pouch disappeared after being re- oeipted for by mail clerk on north bound train passing here. and that the clerk in whose custody 1t was last placed has been suspended from the service pending an investigation.
 The pouch was handled by the local postoffice and later transferred to the mail clerk now under suspension. It is said he remembere6 seeing and checking it on through check under the train shed here, but that he did not detect its loss until he reached the end of his run and found himself un- able to tally with his entry book. The name of this clerk is withheld by the officials, though it is said his suspen- sion Is on the grounds of carelessness.
 Postoffice inspectors admit that thes are working on the case though they declare they are without tangible clue.
 The impression prevails that the dis appearance of this as well as the pouch reported lost from Lynchburg can pv accounted for by the same person or persons

 Worse and Worse. In Two Weeks Ridcompletely ofTrouble through UseofC fCuticura Soap and Ointment,

"one evening while combing my hair, noticed few brown crustlike spots on my scalp and. of course, l thought it was only . little dust that had settled there during the week. So I washed my hair thoroughly but saw that they wouldn't come out, Then at the end of the next week washed my hair again, and to my astonishment saw not only those few but many more had come. Then my head became worse and worse, and my scalp started to itch terribly, so that l could not sleep nor keep from scratching my head
 The cr,istlike places later opened and made sores which bled. and they also itched something terrible I tried many remedies but none helped and Instead they made my head worse. This condition Of my scalp kept up for month. and then one day met a friend and she advised me to use Cuticura Soap and Ointment which l did, In two weeks was rid completely of this trouble, through the use of the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. l am never without them, for they are my most highly valued friends" (Signed) Miss Alva Gustafson. 677 Second Ave-, New York City, May l7, 1911.

Impartial Public Tribunal

To sum up, under the proposed law the question of the public interest, which Is of prime importance, will be decided by an impartial public tribunal at the time the contract is sought to be framed If it IS held to be unreasonable 1t cannot go into effect and the public will not suffer in the meantime.
 At the same time the men desiring to make it have the same opportunity of relief from the courts later that they have now If, however it is held by the tribu- nal to be reasonable, the business man can engage in it without fear of prosecu- ton until the court has decided against him, when he must desst under penalty.
 The department of justice is now bom- tarded with requests for their opinion upon such questions, because good busi- ness men desire to take no risk with the law, and rather than run the risk of pros- ecutlon for something they do not regard as criminal are seeking to have the de- partment of justice, an association of lawyers, assume the powers of review upon business methods which this tribu- nal would assume. This situation In It. self constitutes an argument for this pro- posed law.

Law Would Invite Publicity

Third-This law invites men having trade agreements already in effect, which they regard as reasonable, to make them public and to request review of them by the tribunal in order to relieve themselves of the possibility of actions against -hem personally under the penal code.
 Fourth-This publicity will educate the public in the distinction to be made be- tween reasonable and unreasonable agree ruents in restraint of trade and aid in revealing the true nature and vast im- pcrtance of the problem which must be solved.
 Fifth-It will gradually segregate the men and corporations engaging in fair trade agreements who are willing to sub jeot them to the preliminary test of T public consideration by the tribunal from those unwilling to do this.
 Sixth-It does not involve coercion, for submission to the tribunal is voluntary.
 Seventh-Under this law the proper con- duct of business, which is the important thing rather than the form of it's organi- zat,on, will be emphasized.

Operative Pending Decision

Pending a decision, on appeal to the counts by a public prosecutor where an agreement has been authorized and has not been recalled by the tribunal, the agreement shall be operative and the con tracing parties free from prosecution If the courts shall decide upon such an ap- peal against the agreement. 1t shall be cancelled, and further operations under t shall be subject to the penalties of the Sherman antitrust law.
 Such law will have the following ad- vantages:
 First, it does not interfere with any ex- istng rights of the department of justice to have adjudicated, under the Sherman antitrust act, the reasonableness of the business of interstate corporations.
 Second, under the present holding of the supreme court, agreements in restraint of trade are now made both at the risk of the public and of the business men mak- ing rhem-at the risk of the public, be- cause in the case of an unreasonable con- tract it remains in force and the public suffers until after long adjudication the court declares 1t unreasonable; at the risk of the men making it, for they can- not know in advance whether the court will hold such agreement reasonable or unreasonable, and, whether in conse- uuence they will be held as criminals or not when the adjudication is completed.

Terms of Suggested Law

suggest A law the general terms or which will provide for B tribunal of se- leeted business men of high standing, be- fore which corporations or individuals desiring to form agreements in restraint of trade may voluntarily appear and have such proposed agreement considered In its relation to the public interest.
 If such agreement shall be considered by the tribunal either beneficial or not injurious tc the public, then It's execution shall be authorized, and those forming It shali be in the meantime immune from prosecution under the Sherman antitrust law,
 The tribunal however, shall have the power, upon its own initiative, to recall the authority granted to carry out such agreement, if it should prove, after trial, to be injurious to the public in the judg ment of the tribunal. If such proposed agreement in the first instance be re- garded by the tribunal as injurious to the public, 1t shall refuse to sanction it, and If it Is then entered into the makers shall be liable to prosecution under the sherman antitrust law.
 There shall be the right of appeal from the decision of the tribunal to the courts in regard to the reasonableness of a con- tract in restraint of trade-by the proper pubic officials in the case of the authori- zation of such contract and on the part of the parties applying in case of re- fusal to sanction such contract.

him with another John II. Pelletier Of

but the orator of the evening assured
a Journal reporter that the two mon
were not at all related and resided
in different sections of the town.
The only point upon which the two
Pelletiers stand upon common ground
is that they are both Democrats. The
attitude OF his party upon the repeal
Of the prohibitory amcndment is n
great disappointment 10 the Mr.. Pelle-
tier who spoke here. Il think that
the Democratic party of the state has
made an awful mistake in taking the
stand that it has" said Mr.. Pelletier
10 the reporter. THE liquor question
should not be made a question of poll
tics. II is question of morality. and
most of the men who have forced the
issue upon the party are actuated en-
.irelv by selfish interests" Mr.. Pelle-
tier is very much pleased with tht
outlook in his own county in regard tC
the vote upon the amendment and says
that in his opinion Aroostook county
will poll an overwhelming vote for ii:

Refutes License Arguments.

Mr.. Pelletier spoke in an enthusiasts
tic and vigorous manner, deVoting
considerable of his time to refuting the
arguments, which have been advanced
during the campaign by license speak
ers in favor of the saloon and against
the retention of the prohibitory law
The following is a translation of the
most striking points made by the
speaker:
You have been told that the Ii
censed saloons will close all the cheap
dives. / tell you that it is not So.
In Boston as many places sell liquor
without a license as there are licensed.
The licensed men are in league with
these other sellers and so are some of
the officers.
You have been told that If the
cities get their license fees it will help
TO pay taxes and the burdens will not
fall so heavy upon the poorer people.
1t is not So The tax of the common
people is more whore the licensed ST.
loon exists The city of Baltimore
takes in 81. 900, 600 from it's licensed sa-
looms. but il costs an extra half mil
lion in addition 10 the amount re-
ceived from the licenses to pay for
the cost of the crime and pauperism
that is caused by these licensed sa-
looms So. you sec, Baltimore is go
ing behind 100000 every year on ac-
count Of the licensed saloons.
1T is impossible to regulate the sa-
loon. In New York there is law
against Sunday selling, but nearly
every one of the 12.e00 saloons sells
more liquor on Sunday than on any
other day in the week. There may be
some complaints. but they never ac7
complishs anything. The high officials
of the city are tagged by the rumsell-
ers and saloon mon control the city
government.
Liquor will not help you TO hold
