ton bill. the ship measure. he men

in a speech in the caucus.

ance of the vote for John J. Casey Of

J. Lesher Of Sunbury, Pa. Lesher was
backed by Rep. A. Mitchell Palmer Of
Pennsylvania, while Casey was back
ed by the anti-Palmer element.

EGG PRICE Is DOWN
AS RESULT OF WEATHER
Five Cents Has Been Deducted Dur
ing the Past Three
Days.

Fluctuations in the provisions mar
ket has divided interest with the SEN
sational rise in wheat during the past
few days in local markets. With
wheat remaining stationary here
Thursday, farmers and grain dealers
begin to look for a decline soon, be-
cause of reports from Chicago of a
wild and uncertain market, with
wheat suffering a slight loss during
the the day.
Due to the mild weather, egg prices
are beginning to drop, a decline Of
5 cents being registered here during
the last three days. Reports from
Cleveland tell of a nine cent drop in
the egg markets there, while similar
conditions seem TO be prevalent all
over the country.
AS a result of the steady rise in
hay and grain prices during the last
three weeks. butter is started on an
upward movement here, prices quoted
Thursday night being one cent in ad-
vance Of Wednesdays figures.
AdVices coming from local provision
men Thursday night state that fruit
and vegetables which will begin COM
ing into the city from the South in
the near future will be unusually high.
GrOcers are advising a greater use of
canned goods, being unwilling to take
the risk of handling the high priced
imported green stuff in any large
quantities.

Avenue Christian church was given at
the church Thursday evening. The
principal feature of the affair was the

ANNUAL BANQUET
HELD At SINGERS
Optimism and Good Fellowship
Are KeynOteS at Gathering
Of Outing Club MANY
Speakers Are Heard.

Optimism and good fellowship were
the dominating thoughts expressed in
the toast program presented at tht
first annual banquet Of the Singer
Outins club, given Thursday night in
the club rooms and attended by $50
members Of the club and their guests
Happiness the toast given by T..
d Walling, who appeared first on the
program following the four course
banquet. put the diners In mood
which forbade pessimism over alleged
hard times, and insured the success
of the affair at the start
Consider the fat man." said Mr..
Walling. "and grow wise. he person
flies the spirit of happiness better than
any other example / might cite.
Every move he makes and every word
ne utters radtates gladness-
THE idea some people have OF
heaven is confined entirely TO the idea
OF the streets being paved with geld.
In gold they seek happiness, bUt in
stead they discover that II is not to
be bought or sold, but costing moth
ing to them go after it in the right
way.
Is a Sadder Man.
Some proud Chieftain paves his
way TO glory in war with the skulls
or men, and thinks that he is happy,
but in his quieter musings, when the
heat OF battle is past he knows that
he has missed his goal, and is a sad
der man than the general whom he
has forced 10 bow in defeat.
Happiness is found. not IN war not
in wealth. but in the consciousness Of
duty faithfully done. Virtue cannot
be defrauded of her rewards. nor can
vice be deprived of her toll. Happi-
ness viii flee from a palace to dwell
in hovel, and Will scOrn prince TO
go TO a peasant"
An excellent description of condit-
ions in Russia was given by w. A.

places about which there is a special
interest since the opening Of the war.

periences in living among a people

open. But it is also made plain that
this nut has not yet been cracked.
There have been good many mis-
calculations during this war, and the
allies may have made another one.
But failure to take Constantinople,
now that they have eentered the
eyes of the world upon the feat and
have made the boast that they would
capture the city at any cost, would
be a backset the effects of which
upon the Balkans and the general
situation in the east it would be
difficult to counteract. 1t may be
taken for granted, therefore, that
there will be no sailing away from
the Dardanelles because of the sink
ing of a few ships. There are times
when victory must be had, however
great a sacrifice is called for. This
is such an occasion. 1t is one of the
critical stages of a war that is vast
ing blood and treasure at an un-
precedented rate. We may look for
the allies to stand many staggering
blows before they confess defeat.

POLI'S.

Ihto that growing gallery of dramatic
character portraiture which Is devoted
to the wide variety Of interpretations
OF Eugene Walters Paid in Full" the
new Poll Players this week project their
idea of this most powerful of all Walter
plays.
The best commentary on. the man
her In which the delicately planned
plished by the playwright in this mas
terpiece lies in the fact that interest in
its performance now Centers rather
about the way 1t is performed than
about tho story itself. for practically
every theatergoer is familiar with the
story.
The weakness and utter worthlcssness
of Joe Brooks. the sudden awakening of
Emma, his wife, to all his faults the
types presented in the mother the sis
ter. the old sea captain, and Jimsy are
all familiar-so familiar that they have
almost entered the language of comparl-
son as standards of their particular
branches of the human family.
The Poll Players production of Paid
in Full' Is. in many respects. the best
thing the company has done. The char.
acters that stick out of the dramatic
mosaic are those of Emma the wife
Joe. and the hard-fsted captain. in tht
hands of Miss Gilbert, Mr.. Lowe, and
Ia perhaps the very best thing he has
done since he Joined the company. He
gives a carefully thought out and easily
understood character study notable fol

The deadly forty-two centimeter siege

President of Long Island Rail-
road Replies to Attack on

Declaring that Postmaster General
Burleson.' through lack of understand

led by subordinates seeking arbitrary
powers, President Ralph Peters, of the
Long Island railroad, and chairman of
the committee on railway mail pay, to-
day made public his reply to the state
ment issued by Postmaster General
Burleson, criticising the railroads for
their alleged activity in defeating not
appropriation act. Mr. ePters said.
I'm a published statement Postmaster
General Burleson says that under the
system whereby the railroads are now
authorities are compelled to stand help
lessly by while the railroads loot tho
postal revenues This is a very serious
charge. 1t means. if it means anything.
President Of the United States, charges
the managements of the chief industry
in this country with being in a consptl-
acy to rob the Government of tho
United States. Congress appointed BIZ
partisan commission to investigate the
whole subject. That commission, OF
which ex-senator Jonathan Bourne il,
was chairman, recently recommended.
as the result of its inquiry. the passage
of bill which would have Increased
the pay of the railroads. Was Senator
Bourne's committee duped by the roads
or did his committee become a party to
The fact is that Mr.. Burlcson,
| through lack of understanding of the
postal service and through reliance upon
advisers who were accused by the joint
bipartisan commission of Congress OF
ignorance of their duties and greedy for
| arbitrary power. is himself permitting
| the Government of the United States to
| rob the railroads of at least half what
| is due them for carrying parcel-post.
The railroads defy the Postmaster Cen
| eral to point to single act of their rail-
| way mail pay committee, in its effort
to present the facts in this case to the
people, which has not been absolutely
legitimate. The American people when
informed are fair. We believe they VIII
| repudiate demagogy in every form. All
the railroads SIX is fair play. The Post
master General Is evidently determin-
| ed they shall not have 1t. Tho railroads

meets the people will voice their deter
mination that the railroads shall receive
