Now THEY tell us the cost of living is
to be still higher, while the chances for
work at renumerative wages are growing
scsrcer. The reports state that meat
prices will rise above the record figures of
recent years despite the huge grain crop,
packing house Representatives asserted.
They say that the present scarcity of
cattle and the effect OF dry weather on
grazing lands will more than offset the
enormous grain yield. A beef price of l6
cents to the butcher was predicted as an
early possibility and it was pointed out
by one OF the packing men that cattle even
now are higher than for some time.

Pittsburgh Judge Says Harry ls Not
lunatic.
By a decree of Judge James w,
Over of orphans court in Pittsburgh
the trustee of Harry X. Thaw's estate
was directed to pay him his income
denied since he was adjudged insane
after the killing of Stanford White
and which during that time has ac
cumulated until there is now $l60,773
due him.
While experts declare that Thaw
is suffering from an hereditary eIag.
gerated sense of self, which would
make it unwise to commit any very
large sums of money into his personal
charge, Judge Over says this is not
lunacy and that there are many per.
sons to whom it is unwise to give
very large sum Of money.
The decree closes about six months
of legal proceedings started by Thaw
to obtain his income or a part of it
and is held to be victory in his fight
for liberty.

THE speech of President Wilson on the
4th OF July, In Independence Square, un-
der the very shadow Of Independence
Hall, has caused wide speculation as to
whether the old time Fourth of July ora
tion is to be suppIanted by factional po-
liticsl debate. For more than a century,
statesmen, lawyers and divines, on the
Fourth Of July, have recalled our colon
ial difficulties, the colonists' defiant
Declaration OF Independence, their suf-
fering and vslor in the camp and field
and their final triumph, then the organ
izstion Of our government, its defense,
perpetuatiou, its growth and standing
among nations. This year, however, at
Independence Square, Philadelphia,
where the Continental Congress declared
that the seaooard our own and not Great
Britain's President Wilson defended his
act in giving to Great Britain equal rights
with Americans in the Panama Canal, the
prize of the western continent, and which
cost more than the value of all the col
onies in l776, and made political speech
defending his policies.

Can't Shift The Blame.

Senator Boies Penrose very properly
and very emphsticslly repudia,es the
charge that he has been holding up Dem
ocrstic postoffice appointments in the
western end of Pennsylvania. The charge
has been made by A. Mitchell Palmer,
Congressman and boss OF the Palmer
Mccormick faction of the Democratic
party In the state.
Boss Palmer has dictated every post
Office appointment so far made in Penn
sylvanis. He has dictated about all the
other Federal appointments, and the
postmssters he has selected represent, In
pronounced form, the Democratic faction
of which he is the boss.
Many of those appointments have been
unsatisfactory to the people directly con-
cerued. Many OF them represent only
the bob-tsil element in their commuu-
tiles, and in every such case Senator PEN
rose, chairman OF the subcommittee of
the senate which must pass upon appoint
ments before confirmation has been
urged to stop the appointments and in
that way protect the people. In more
than dozen different cases throughout
the western end of the state petitions in
large bulk have been hurried to Senator
Penrose and an army of investigators
have been compelled to sift the charges
filed against the appointees. In cases
only where absolute unfitness is deyel-
oped are the appointments held up.
There have been comparatively few OF
these cases, although in many other cases
vicious factionsl strife has been un-
covered.
Senator Penrose has declared that his
concern in appointments ex tends only to
the best interest of the general public.
He has not, he says, and will not take any
part in the factional rows among the
Democrats.
Comparatively few Democratic appoint
ments were made in this end Of the state
before the primaries. The reason is
obvious. Boss Palmer wanted the help
of all the fsctionists. so far since the
primaries comparatively few appoint
ments have been made. Boss Palmer
wants those votes In the fall, and bis
effort TO shin responsibility TO the should
ers Of Senator Penrose has been very
properly rebuked and repudisted.

USE WALKING WOOD IN
ATTACK UPON GERMANS

London.-A correspondent describes
walking wood at Crecy. The French
and British cut down trees and armed
themselves with the branches. Line
after line of infantry, each man bear
ing a branch, then moved forward I'M
observed toward the enemy,
Behind them, amid the Topped tree
trunks, the artillerymen fixed them
selves and placed 13-pounders to cover
the moving wood.
The attack, which followed, won
the success it meritsd. 1t almost went
wrong, however, for the French cav
airy, which was following, made de-
tour to pass the wood and dashed into
view near the ammunition reserves of
the allies.
German shells began falling there
abouts, but British soldiers went up
the hills and pulled the boxes of am
munition out of the way of the Ger
man shells Ammunition and men came
through unscathed By evening the
enemy had been cleared from the
Marine district.
