supplies are known to be held in cold storage in order to keep up the high prices, and good authority states that some of the produce which is now to be unloaded on falling market has been in warehouses for five years. While no public warehouse report is ever made, in the Windy City, it is known that 32 warehouses there have not less than Al, DOC. .0OO pounds-twenty-tw thousand tons-of butter, eggs and poultry, but nobody, outside the warehousemen, can tell whether this enormous sum is the total supply in storage, or only a fraction of the real amount. There is one feature of this price business that the average ultimate consumer" is unable to understand. After the prices to the jobber and the retailer have been cut down, why does it take forever for the retailer to readjust his prices to the consumer? And is the graft germ con- fined to the big barons alone?

A POWER IN HIS PARTY

That is an interesting statement, re- printed in another column from the New Haven Unions Hartford letter, concern ing the present political status of J. Henry Roraback, of Canaan, as leader of the republican party in the state. The success of hls long and well-fought campaign in behalf of George P. Mclean for United States senator unquestion- ably enchanced the Roraback prestige in Connecticut republican politics, and makes J.. Henry more than ever fac tor to be reckoned with. One evidence of this fact is indicated in the following from the Hartford Courant: "In Litch- field county where pressure had been brought to get J. Henry Roraback out of the Canaan post office because he was against Bulkeley, every republican representative and senator from the county was against Bulkeley when the caucus was held"

GET FER

Somebody, who has kept tabs on the trend of things in Canaan, Ill recent years, expresses the opinion that 1t will be impossible to get enough people to pull together for any common purpose, to make a success of it. that while there may be no fault found with any certain project that may be advocated as pub lie benefit, the motives of those who ad- vocate or support it will be suspected or assailed and it's success jeopardized at the very start, for no well grounded req son. There is, it is asserted, a disposi- tion here, which manifests itself on every occasion when public movements are proposed, to get out and kick-not neces- sarlIy against the proposition itself, but against the methods by which 1t Is sought to accomplish the purpose de- sired. or against the parties behind it. And in this way, it is asserted, progress is Ihindered and public benefits delayed or forfeited.
 To what extent this may be true, The News does not know. If it is true at all, it is unfortunate for the community. Nothing is to be gained for any element or any faction, and much less for the community as a whole, where citizens work at cross purposes. On the other hand, much can be accomplished for the universal good if work is entered upon in spirit of tolerance, cooperation and mutual concession, having in mind 8 general desire for the. welfare of all-the greatest good to the greatest number. What we need is baptism of fellowship; an awakening of genuine patriotism 8 getting together on the ground of con- mon understanding better acquain- tanoe and closer communion one with another, ,and 8 higher regard for the rights aud the welfare of the whole community. Persopal prejudices and obstinate stand ing aIoof on narrow and mistaken "prin- ciple" where the common good is involv- ed, are poor policy, that will retard the expansion of the town and deprive it of the prestige which 8 creditable census showing has given it as & progressive and progressing community. "There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it hardly becomes any of us to talk about the rest of us."

THE DROP PRICES

The mild, open winter conditions are favorable for the common people" not only from the fact that coal bills will be smaller than usual, but because, accord ing to Chicago reports, the open winter and the banner crops combined make it impossible for the cold storage barons to maintain artificial prices on the aecessaries of life. Millions of pounds of butter, eggs, cheese and poultry held in cold storage warehouses in Chicago, will be thrown on the market before May l, and general tumbling of food prices is expected at once. The com mission merchants prophecy this resnlt. The despatches state that a number of commission men in Chicago have failed within the last few days, as a result of holding great quantities of butter which they purchased at an average price of 31 cents a pound and now are unable to market for more than 27 or 28 cents a pound. Enormous quantities of food

Temperance people will show thelr sim cerity by compelling the legal authori- ties to do their duty" etc. In other words Liberal states that as soon as he can convince himself that he is sincere he will vote No License again, I must confess that have always doubted his sincerity on this subject, and especially when he attempts to make people believe that he is sincerely in favor of Temper ance. You are temperance men and possibly there is some one else who thinks just as you do, that the Temper ance people should show their sincerity, and therefore why don't you make a start and so do?
 You see we come right back to our original proposition {; you would rather leave it to the next fellow. You would rather appear good fellow to a certain few than have the name of trying to en- force the laws, yourself.
 Come, brace up, Liberal Temperance Man, and be sincere yourself and try to assist local or outside authorities in bringing about the enforcement of the laws rather than sit still and criticise those who do try to do something along this line.
 I repeat my former offer to sign my own name to future communication if Liberal will so do.

The Deacon Stevens "reminiscences of old-time Canaan and old-time Canaan ties combine incidents that interest not only the oldest living inhabitants but those of @ less remote generation. In this weeks instalment, for instance, he goes back to the East Canaan "Black Artillery" procession in the Harrison Tippecanoe and Tyler too campaign of 1840, which is remembered by the vener- able citizens, including possibly some who marched in that parade. In the same instalment MT. Stevens comes down to Billy Peck who, some thirty five or forty years ago drove all oyer this territory behind a COW broken to harness, affording novel spectacle not likely to be forgotten by those who saw it-and many are now living who will recall the eccentric Billy and his sensational equipage.

The Telephone Company grasps the idea.

Canaan list, are printed special instructions for calling up the fire department in case of fire. It behooves every subscriber to observe these instructions, and learn just how to get the attention of the fire department at the earliest possible moment.

The Ten Miles of Paving
To be Awarded Today.

The bond trustees for the City of Pensacola will today
open bids for ten miles of paving and will
possibly award the contract today.
These bids will include prices nearly every kind OF
paving materia-brick, wood block asphalt bituthic.
and other classes Some classes of paving will of
cost less than others.
On determining what class classes shall be used
the trustees should not however allow the price alone to
be the determining factor There other things be
considered in addition to the price.
A poor pavement at a low price would be the most
expensive kind of pavement Conversely, good pave
high price might prove in the end the cheapest
pavement.
Pensacola has had experience with two kinds of pave
ment-brick and wood block Her brick pavement prob
ally good brick pavement possibly be- particu-
larly when it is laid concrete foundation Her wood
block pavement is highly satsfactory-uch salts
factory, in fact than the brick
If the choice is lie between the brick and the wood
block The Journal believes that fully 90 per of the
people, and possibly more, prefer the wood block
at higher price. Wood block should by all means be
selected to replace the old brick pavement the business
section of Palafox street.
If other paving materials to be selected as
phalt asphalt block pavement might be tried for
of the residence section.
But whatever is DONE the brick should be eliminated
Pensacola does not want any of it. 1t noisy hot

so far, created this beneficent condi-
ton in the world (and who will deny
it has not) does it not appear the only
thing it has now to do, to put all
enemies under its feet, is affect a just
distribution of this bounty along the
line of everlasting equity?
Then will the scales fall from mems
eyes and they will see their duty
clearly.
Christianity has already, by inven-
ton, removed the cause of physical
want, and by education is also remov-
ing the cause of sickness. Soon now
the writer believes, it will remove the
cause OF an unjust distribution of
this knowledge and bounty, and give
to every man, woman and little child
such an assured earthly blessing that
they will have the time, inclination
and unused energy to individually
strive for the further uplifting of one
and all and thereby generate a spirit
Of mutual love and helpfulness that
VII! conquer the wayward, solve the
problem of how to be happy, eradicate
sin and consequent suffering, and pre-
pare the world for Christ.
For He must reign until He has
put all enemies under His feet and
the last enemy He shall conquer will
be death"
y Upon this ground and this only can
all Christian influence unite.
Christ had confidence in~men. He
had confidence in men of limited
knowledge and small means To this
CLASS OF men He entrusted His king
dom.
If He had this confidence in men.
should not we, after centuries of His
teaching, have enough confidence in
them to allow them to govern Amer
lea?
Give to every man the right to pro-
pose, to enact, amend or ann,1l o,,r
law and the Christian teaching will
do the rest
The physical and spiritual welfare
OF man no longer hinges upon a battle
with the forces OF nature. but upon an
equable distribution of life's blessings,
Inat can only be accomplished by the
free will of all the people.
