AMERICAN CHRISTIANS SPEND
S4OO, 600, 900 FOR THEIR WORK
Church Erection Outlay Reached Forty Million Last Year

ment;
Reports now fairly complete in

churches and into buildings intend
ed to advance the Christian cause
Ia America between $50, 100000 and
s40,O,0,O0O this summer and fall.
Delays IN construction operations
may carry some OF this outlay over
into next winter. perhaps beyond
the end OF the year, but such sums
are Offset by those expended since
the beginning of 1914, so that the
church. erection outlay In the Unit
ed States for the year win reach
about $40 100000.
This sum is 90, 100000 to 5000 0C0
above normal. indicating that caus-
es that effect business In general and
have hurt gifts to missions and to
charities, do not prevail against the
carrying forward Of new projects
The largest outlays along these
lines are In New York and New
England for the east, in California
because of rew structures goiug up
for use at the Panama Exposition,
aud In the southwest. The middle
west has been building churches in
considerable numbers for the last
Eve years, and this summer Stacks
up to some extent, although Chica-
go runs far ahead compared with
other years.
The American people put into
Christian work of all forms $500, 600,
600 q year. This amount grows
steadily, having nearly doubled in
the last fifteen years. Some people
say the church is losing ground and
that people do not go to church as
they once did. However that may
be, they give money In larger sums
and seem not to have been affected
In so doing by financial stringency
In other lines. or the total amount

term), end 85.000,C00 into new
structures and enrlchments; about
$l6000,000 goes into foreign mis-
sions, and the balance into main
tenance. Apart from these, Chris
tian people give large sums to char
tiles aud public relief OF all kinds.
Indeed, while Christians number
only about a third of the population,
they give SO out of every 81 that
goes to charities. education, earth
quake and flood disasters.
The above statemant Is In striking
contrast with the expenditure on
the foreign field. The income of all
the societies In this country for 1918
was about SIG, 100000 The expendi-
ture for the homeland includes some

FOOD DEALERS
Are INDICTED
81 Merchants of Washington
Charged with Fixing Prices
Following Probe of Attor-
ney General.
lGREGoRY WILL URGE
PRISON SENTENCES

Washington, Sept. 4.-Thirty-
one food dealers we're indicted
here today by a Federal grand
Jury under the Sherman law on
counts changing price fixing.
1t was the first big develop
|ment in the investigation the
Department of Justice is con-
Iducting at the direction of Pres
|ident Wilson, against food deal
.ers who are alleged torhave seiz.
led upon the European war as a
.pretext to increase the cost of
living.
All the indicted men are local
produce dealers or commission
merchants. No nationally known
firm was indicted.
Will Urge Improvision
At the Department of Justice
it was said Government agents
working in many States for evil
dence of price-fixing we're expec-
ted to make reports soon which
officials hoped would be the basis
of other indictments. Attorney
General Gregory has this to say
Under conditions now exist
ing throughoutthe world, capital
ization of misfortune and oppres-
sion of our own people by the
arbitrary increase of the prices
of foodstuffs are so peculiarly re-
prehensiDle that, whenever con-
victions can be obtained, the
Government will insist upon SEN
fences of imprisonment-no fine
or no civil remedy will be deem
ed adequate.
United States Attorneys are
being instructed promptly to ask
for indictments whenever the
facts will permit, to push these
to early trial, and, upon convic
tioDs, to insist upon prison sem
fences.
Price Fixing CHARGED
at must, of course, be remem-
bered that, without the District
of Colum bia, only those agree
ment and combiDations which
affect directly interstate or for
eign commerce can be reached.
As to other matters, State stat
utes must be relied upon"
The men indicted here today
are charged with having fixed
prices every day by "ballots,"
"suggesti ons," or verbal agree
ment, and TO nave circulated
price lists which completely elm
mated competitive market for
food. That is alleged to be an
unlawful restraint of trade pro-
hibited by the Sherman Anti
trust Law between the States
and in Federal districts. The
penalty on conviction is years
imprisonment or q $1,000 fine
or both.
Bench warrants were issued for
all the indicted men, and bail
was given for their appearance
in court.

School opened with large atten-1
dance and enthusiasm yesterday
morning. Mem bers of the Board
of Education. several Of the alum
nj and number of visitors and
patrons of the school were pres
ent to witness the opening and
lend their encouragement to the
school and the faculty. Among
the visitors was Miss GoldieI
Weir, of Popular Bluff, Mo-,
who was formerly one of our
teachers in the eighth grade and
high school.
Chapel exercises were held
and several short, encouraging
talks were made by visiting cit
liens including Rev. Braz elton,
Rev. Grant, Frank B. Arnold,
and Paul M. Moore of the Board
of Education. The auditorium
was filed and standing room was
in demand, indicating a very en-.
couraging enrolment for the first
day of school. Indeed the child
rem seemed pleased and enthus-
iastic to get back to school and
members of the alumni appeared
.disconsolate, with no desk or
lessons assigned.
/ Yesterday and today are large

Opsn-AIr Preaching in Brazil.

Open.air preaching one Thousand
miles up the Amazon river has
proven popular and effective, ac-
cording to e. A. Nelson Of Msnaus,
Brill. te
The people are not accustomed to
hearing services and 1t does not oc-
cur to them to go to church for that
purpose. Mr.. Nelson says:
"Quite a few have read and. trav-
eled, aud many have hungerinR
after knowledge, and when they are
courteously invited they often come
into a meeting house and listen at
tentivelv. But with the open-ser-
vices it is different. There is DO
ceremony. People are passing, or
they are sitting outside their dwell
ings in the cool of the evening.
They hear the song and they want
to see who that man is II you
have a good voice you can be heard
for half o mile In this climate In the
dry season, and often word spok-
en- heard at q distance has more eff
feet than nearby, and there is moth
ing to divert the attention.
We have no large crowds-seldom
over 800, but this is because of the
city being scattered and SO much
open space. Many hundreds hear,
as rule, every night.

SUFFRAGE-PRO AND CON.
Pro-.


 It is disappointment to the suf- fragists of Connecticut that Colonel Roosevelt has had to cancel his Hart ford visit, as they were hoping for an outspoktn Il endorsement of women suf- frage from the Progressive leader. MT. Herbert Knox Smith, the Progressive candidate for Governor in 1919, made his confession of faith in woman suf- frage just recently at suffrage meet ing in Pennington. Until the women had votes-he said-a politician could make an appeal to his would-be con- stituents only on the subjects that in- terested men-taxes, tariff, trusts, con- servation, and other matters affecting material things and business interests. All these things were however second ary. The primary interests of life those that served directly the real end and aim of existence-were health and sanitation, education, morals, and clothing. These were chiefly women's interests, and when women were voters it would be possible for a candidate to make his campaign on these issues, and to secure votes by his advocacy of meas ures aimed at forwarding these pri- mary interests-a thing that no candi- date can do now.

Con.

With all the feminist literature about the country the air is becoming un- breathable. Every secret mystery of life has been cheapened. All protec- tive barriers of sancity have been broken down.
 If the wife and mother works she is domestic drudge, |" according to the Suffragists. If she does not work she is parasite. The only escape from this dilemma is to embrace spinsterhood and become a suffragette.
 Charlotte Gilman's picture of the home of the future is father and moth CT going off daily to their work and re- turning at night to find the house cared for by experts while the children have spent an improving day at the com munal nursery.
 According to the suffragist-feminist opinion the twenty centuries which have developed the Christian ideal Of womanhOod are total failure. The single standard of morality demanded by them, is unmistakably standard of immortality. We prefer the old law of decency, legitimacy and self respect. Professor Sedgwick declared a genera ton ago this sort of doctrine was free love; today it is feminism but the leop- ard has not changed its spots.
 Shall the great majority of women who oppose this doctrine remain silent while their restless sisters walk up and down the country claiming to represent the will of all the women. There lies the danger. American men have ever been patient with the inconsistencies of their women, ever willing to grant eveh that which was not for their high est good when urged by strong appeal. Give them to understand that the great silent feminine force still will uphold the dignity of tha nation which, in the past has been sustained by its women. Socialism, feminism, suffragism, ex- pressed in teaching of free love and an- initiation of the home does not make for dignity or peace. Hikings, street parades, dancing with bare feet on the steps of our stately capitol and harangu- ing from soap boxes on street corners are not encouraging symptoms of growth of progress among the women of our era.

 "A room had been decorated with furnishings from the dining room of one of the richest shahs of Persia, and a magnificent rug hung as a canopy over the table, while others decorated the walls or were spread on the floor Rich candelabra lighted the table, and we were entertained during the feast, which laster four hours, by Turkish iugglers and musicians. Prizes were given for guesses as to what the dishes were.
 'In Roumahia we met the king and the queen, Carmen Sylva. It was rattl- CT an informal visit we had with tue queen, and she asked many questions about American affairs.
