HOUSEKEEPING To

WASTEFTL METHODS CAUSE
THE HIGH COST OF LIVING,
ARGUES MIDDLEMAN.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2s.--Wasteful
methods Of housekeeping. and not the
middleman. is the cause of the high
cost of living, according to ]. b. More
land. secretary of the National Fed
GRAFTON Of Retail Merchants, who is
attending the convention of the gro-
Gerry and allied trades press, in this
city.
The extravagant method Of house
keeping and the fact that there is not
In the city homes any preparations
for providing for more than one meal
at once, will furnish all the impetus
needed to push prices higher" he
said today The only escape that |
can see is to get back 10 the farm and
to the method of living practiced by
our fathers.
The middleman is a necessary
evil standing as he does between
producer and consumer The whole
truth is that we are not, despite the
glowing reports or bumper crops and
the startling figures that represent the
total value of our products, making
enough to supply the normal de-
mand."

contrary, it is only by adhering to that plat
form that 1t can accomplish anything worth
while. When Mr.. Roosevelt says that 1t must
repudiate the policies enunciated by its candi-
date" he says what he knows to be absolutely
false. The trouble with Mr.. Roosevelt Is that
he wishes to see the Democratic party accom-
plish nothing He wishes to see it repudiate its
platform and the uttersnces OF Mr.. Wilson, for
despite his contrary assertions. he knows that if
It does these things 1t will be wrecked and he
viii have another opportunity TO realize his
ambitious hopes. He knows that If it adheres
to the policies enunciated in its platform and by
its candidate the only hope for the Progressive
party in 1916 is amalgamation with the Repub-
lican party, which means the end of the ambi-
lions OF one Theodore Roosevelt
As the Baltimore Sun, always friendly to Mr..
Roosevelt. and seldom violent critic says,
Colonel Roosevelt's attitude is the result of
dense ignorance or blatant demagoguery-and
Colonel Roosevelt is not ignorant

as those contained in the letter quoted he ap-
parently rests under the deusion that the Ameri-
can people are not only ignorant, but gullible

Editor of The Nirginian:
Sir.-If all that is needed to do away with
capital punishment is to prove that 1t does
not prohibit crime. then l know two cases in
which the parties discussed the penalty often
beforehand, and yet when their tempers got
them under control they did their very best
to kill each other. The fighters were woman
and about half-grown boy. 1t took colored
self to stop them from fighting And after we
finally stopped them tthey each declared that
If it was their last act, they would kill the
other the woman said: told and and so that
If was ever sent to jail, l knew that it would
be for fighting. After her temper was over, she
said to me: 1T was good thing you stopped
me, for II you had not / would certainly have
killed B..
This boy got mad with another boy
whom we will call c. For days they had de-
clared that they would kill the other l told
them the punishment for murder, and told them
the spiritual wrong of It, and yet every few
days l would find them with sticks with iron
fastened on the end of them--to fight the other
with When | took them from them and
again told them the wickedness of and punish
ment for killing, they would resupply them
selves with instruments. When they got over
thelr anger they were perfectly friendly. None
