/ with a really enlightening con-
! tribution to the growing and
widely read literature of the
high cost of living. 1t is from Penn
sylvania subscriber and is in the form
of extracts from the day-book of a
country storekeeper of Amity town.
ship, Berks county. in 1914.
We have been told so often that
prices of everything are the highest
now in the history of the country
with the possible exception of the Pc
riod of artificial values in Civil War
days-that we have come to accept
the assertion as fact Figures from
this old account book however, indi-
cate that prices are merely reversed; !;
that. whereas meats and all farm
products were very low in those days,
the cost of manufactured products
scared to almost unbelievable heights.
When it is considered that wages were
much lower then than now the ad-
vantage in the cost of living is not
apparent.
Here are some OF the items:
Calico was 371z cents to 70 cents
per yard.
Tea was a dollar a pound.
In one charge, a man bought one
quarter of veal at 4 cents per
pound.
Eggs were never more than 10
cents per dozen, with to cents
the commoner prices.
Chickens. 12h to Is cents apiece;
geese, 25 cents to 37h cents apiece.
Beef, to cents WOOL 10 cents
to 1914 cents per pound; muslin, SO
cents per yard.
The climax was reached in one
charge-one bushel of salt, SIG.
Regardless of what may be said, we
are living better now than ever before
and at no greatly increased cost. If
we choose to live as did the people of
1914. for instance. we could do it as
cheaply as they.

SENATOR OIIvER's ANSWER

UNITED STATES > u y y L - IL
OLIVER occupied the pulpit of
~ a Philadelphia church last Sum
day on the invitation of the
pastor, who had criticised him for his
public attitude on certain matters of
legislation and public policy. 1t was
q most unusual position for a Senator
of the United States, and this fact
was evidently appreciated by Senator
Oliver, who declared in his remarks
that he would probably not have ac-
cepted the invitation to make clear
his position had not the invitation
contained something like challenge.
He confessed to having some old
fashioned notions about the time and
place for political discussion and OBJ
served that the Lord himself had said
MY house shall be called the house
of prayer" and that Paul, speaking
TO the Corinthians said, III am deter
save Jesus Christ and Him crucified"
and that when Paul addressed the
multitude at Athens he did not touch
upon political issues, but preached the
gospel only.
Senator Oliver gave expression to
his own view of the criticism of pub
/ iic men when he declared that he had
no quarrel with any member of the
Senate because of radical differences
of. opinion; that those who advocated
..ot;cta. ~yy,i ~, tba enaalror haiiayad 20

earnest or disinterested on that ac-
count. Perhaps no man in public life
Lever made a more honorable stand
with respect to his personal response
bility to the people whom he serves
than did Senator Oliver in the Phila-
delphia pulpit.
He disclaimed any antagonism to
the pastor of the church and compli-
mented his critic for the great work
which he had been doing In his COM
munity. This clerical critic, having
listened to a prominent Progressive
senator in the same pulpit, comment
ing thereon. said in effect that 1t was
o pity that Pennsylvania had no Sena-
tor who could be asked to speak in a
church. While this statement was
subsequently modified by the pastor
st was nevertheless construed as a re-
Election upon the United States Sena-
tors from Pennsylvania and Senator
oliver felt impelled, notwithstanding
his old-fashioned notions about the
pulpit being proper political rostrum
to personally appear in the place

TUESDAY EVENING. FEBRUARY 8
KuNKEL FOR HIGHER COURT


= us friends all over the State
~ would be mighty glad to have
i i the opportunity to vote for
George Kunkel, president judge
Of the Dauphin county court, for the
vacant place on the Supreme bench.
His friends here at home would be
more than delighted to do the same
thing, but there is one phase OF the
situation which is not pleasing to his
hosts of admirers in the home town
the fear that his elevation to the
highest tribunal Of the State would
remove him from this community.
However. that need not disturb his
friends here inasmuch as the time
must soon come when the Supreme
Court shall cease its peripatetic fit
tings over the State and settle down
10 permanent sittings in the capital
Long ago the occasion for the Supreme
Court sitting outside of Harrisburg
ceased to exist and the dignity of
the court, as well as its usefulness,
would be advanced by a permanent
location on Capitol Hill.
The interest of the client and the
interest of the State both favor a
change in this respect. 1t may be
pleasanter for the jurists and the
lawyers to carry their litigation to the
metropolis of the Commonwealth, but
the other branches of the govern
ment having been concentrated on
Capitol Hill, there is no reason why
the judiciary should continue to have
Its principal habitat in one corner of
the State.

CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS
PHILADELPHIA Ledger1

If there was lobby at Harrisburg
which caused the diversion of s3,-
100000 to private institutions not en-
titled to the bounty of the State" It
may have been "unwholesome and
baneful," but certainly it was not
criminal" There has been great
abuse in appropriations, it is obvious,
but the institutions getting the money
have generally put it to good use.
