DR. ULLMAN'S VIEWS
Convinced by Recent Trip That Wilson
 Is Sure Winner

 pr. T'llman Is a close observer and says that the republican party Is hopelessly split and that while in some places there is decided Roosevelt sentiment, it Is largely from the ranks of the republican party.

Henin, a son of one of the brayest and most beloved gray coated heroes of the war will make an address on tho deeds of va1or that have immortalized the name of Admiral Semmes and the Daughters of the Confederacy will make the last distribution of the crosses of honor
 Asking pardon for the personal allu- sion, it might be proper for the writer to say that he was not born in this beautiful southland, but has lived here for the greater part of his life, and knows no other home. All who are near and dear to him reside within it's borders. He loves the land and state of his adop ton and is proud of it's glorious tradi- tons, therefore he feels that he is justi fled in his interest in such occasions as will be celebrated today, partly from the perusal and study of the history of the worlds greatest conflict but more from personal association with many of the men who had fought in it.

HIGH COST OF LIVING

Boston. September 26.-Arbitration of all international disputes. whether be- tween individuals. between nations or between individuals and foreign na- tions, was urged by the fifth Interna- tional Congress of Chambers of Con- merce which closed it's sessions hers today. President Louis Canon Legrand of Mons, Belgium, brought up the sub ject and resolution submitted by him was adopted unanimously.
 Arbitration of disputes between indi- vldnals ard foreign countries was dis cussed and approved at an early ses- sion of the congress, but some misun- derstanding arose when the chair ruled that an amendment to include disputes between individuals or between nations was not in order. President Cannon Legrand presented his resolution today, he explained. so that it might be un- derstood, that in making his ruling the only question involved was one of par liamentary procedure In seconding the motion, r. D. LaI.anne of Philadelphia read a letter from Secretary of State P C. Knox in which the belief was eN- pressed that a permanent world court of arbitration would be established in the near future.
 An international conference to con sider the high cost of living and sug- gest possible remedies met unanimous approval Reduction in postage rates and other international postal reforms and the desirability of uniformity in the matter of consul invoices were oth- CT subjects favored by the congress.
 Fisher Explains Plan
 A plan to stabilize the purchasing power of money us d remedy for the increasing cost of living was laid be- fore the International Congress Of Chambers of Commerce today by Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale university. His suggestion was made in anticipation of the interna tional conference on the cost of living recommended by Presi- dent Taft
 My plan" said Professor Fisher. lis similar to a suggestion of Gov. Wood row Wilson that the weight of the gold dollar should be increased enough to restore some of it's lost purchasing power.
 "The great fall of prices ending in 1896 was often referred to as an appre- ciation of gold, just as the rise of prices since 1896 Is often referred to as de- preciation of gold In other words, the dollar. the pound sterling, the franc, the mark and all other monetary units in gold were increasing in purchasing power before 1896 and since S96 have been decreasing. In both cases the pur- chasing power varied.
 This continual varia ton in the real value of the dollar is the bane of busi- ness. 1t is one of the sources of booms, crises, contractions and depressions by which modern business men arc perpet- ually vexed. Unfortunately, as yet the rank and file of business men do nos realize the close connection between the cycles of trade and the Instability of the dollar"
