At Next Election, Says
President Wilson.
REPUBLICANS HAVE NO ISSUE
Except the Tariff-He Urges
Majority Rule In All
Party Matters.
A VERY HARMONIOUS MEETING

President Wilson told members OF
the Democratic National Committee
at luncheon in the State dining
room of the White House last week
that the Republicans had no issue
for the next campaign except the
tariff and that Democracy was GER
tain to win.
Our constructive work has start
ed an Irresistible movement which
cannot be stopped" he declared.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is
talking through his hat"
Mr.. Wilson said nothing to indi-
cate whether he would again be a
candidate for the Presidency.
Throughout his entire talk, which
dealt with subjects ranging from
Democratic chances OF victory to
features OF the isolated" life of a
Chief Executive, the President was
informal. Taking his place at the
head of the table, he thrust his
hands into his trousers pockets, cast
aside what he termed his dress pa
rade" language and talked freely
and contidentially.
Democrats OF all factions greeted
his remarks enthusiastically. They
left the White House in buoyant
spirits. declaring that his optimism
had inspired them with new conf
dence. II was the first time, COM
mitteemen said, that their body had
been received as whole In the
White House. They expressed re-
greet that the text Of the Presidents
speech would not be given out, as
they regarded it as vigorous cam
paign argument.
At the outset the President said
he wanted the members to feel that
they We're a part of big family of
which he was a member. He asked
whether anyone present could sug-
gest any campaign argument other
opposition could advance and the
all shook their heads.
Nobody knew at this time. he add
ed. what sort of tariff measure
must be framed to meet changing
conditions resulting from the war.
Discussing parties and policies
generally the President insisted that
the Democratic view was that the
majority should rule. while that OF
their opponents was that board of
trustees" should act for the people.
Touching upon the Mexican prob
lem he said this same majority rule
should apply inMexico as well as this
without regard to the
wishes of persons residing In other
who hold Mexican proper
ty. He expressed the belief that in
due time peace would come In Mex
leo when the people We're thoroughly |
tired of raising disturbances.
The President faced united COM
nittee, leaders declared. rumors of
threatened breaks between friends
of Fred b. Lynch. the Minnesota
and Chairman Will
lam r. McCombs having been
promptly disposed of.

OLD NINE

The old Ashdown mine, situated
in northern Humboldt county near
Oenoi, has been the scene of con-
siderable activity for the past few
months. After being idle for several
years since the death of the orig

the fall of 1914 to Otto Johnson of
Bellingham, Wash. Associated with
Johnson we're j. H. Lyons and fl.

The opening of the property after
a considerable period necessitated
many repairs. The pipe line, supply
ing the mill from mountain springs
nearly three miles away, had to be
dug up and relaid. This was all ac-
cOmplished in the middle of winter
and reflects great credit on the am
bilious Observation-Disclosures Star.

FOOD PRICES IN
PARIS INCREASE

PARIS, July 20. = Paris is be-
ginning to feel the difficulties of
lodging wal prices, particularly food
prices. Everything was so cheap in
the beginning, and remained SO for
months, that it was possible for res
taurants to make slight and gradual
encroachments to that were not no.
ticeable to the public. One or two
sous could be added to the price of
a dish here and there in the restaur-
ants without attracting much atten
ton, although it added 10 to 80 per
cent to the income of the establish
ment.
Patrons of restaurants where there
are no prices on the bill of fare, have
not felt this, but even in some of
the fashionable resorts five sous to
ten have been added, almost imrer-
ceptibly, and supported until now
the customers of those establishments
arc beginning to ask why,
in the early days of the war, with
reduced help and reduced expenses.
some establishments, profiting from
the closing of others, did more
business than ever at a greater per-
centage of profit. One popular
priced house, f%requented by clerks
and sewing girls, added 20 per cent
to its prices and reduced it's portions
twenty per cent. A strong competi-
cor next door having closed, he did
more business at forty per cen
profit and became rich in ten
months. Other restaurants re-
opened. His increased prices became
noticeable; he lost most of his old
customers, and now he joins in the
wall of other restaurant men who
were less favored than he.
Scarcity of male help, increased
cost of meats and other provisions
and decreased business are the rea-
sons the restaurant men are giving
for the general advance in prices.

Pierre Augerat, a sheep herder,
left his flock in the vicinity OF Reno

carried this amount in a suit case.
Arriving in Sacramento he was pick
ed up by two Swiss Italians who gen.
erously offered to show him the
city. After a few hours of exchang-
ing condolences the affable strangers
learned Of the treasure and decided
to relieve him of it. Giving him $40
they asked him to step over to a to-
bacco stand and buy some cigars,
assuring him they would watch the
suit case. Before Pierre returned
they had switched suit cases and sew
eral hours later the herder discov-
cred that his suit case contained a
blanket. The men have not yet been

PRICE OF RADICM

LONDON. July 22.-While most
commodities have grown steadily
dearer since the war began the price
of radium shows a drop of about
$1,000 a gram in the past year. The
reason apparently is that some peo-
ple who held limited quantities OF
the available supply were compelled
to sell at a loss. The British army
medical department plans to use ra-
dunn treatments for the benefit OF
obstinate cases of rheumatics con
tracted in the trenches.
