SENATE STANDS PAT

Rejection Of Judge E. G. Bland
Fourth Disagreement With
Presidents Policy.

While the President keeps insisting
there Is no row between himself and
Senators over patronage, the Senate
continues to reject appointments.
1t has become clear the Senate Will
not retreat from it's position and that
where the President fails to fill va
cancies occurring while Congress Is in
session and then fills them by recess
appointments, tho Senate will reject
the nominations.
For the fourth time. the Senate has
rejected nominations OF this kind.
The latest rejection Is that of the ap.

just taught. Whenever he wants TO
win point he can always do so by
resorting to teaching. When he has
an enemy to overcome, instead of try
ing TO hurt or humiliate him, he just
teaches him. And SO it was with the
grocers.
The result was another victory, for
the grocers were won over just as the
housewives and chemistry girls had
been. When they were shown some

Westfield Crocers Sign a Contract
with the Town


Grocers are not the wilful tricksters
that some so-called reformers would
lead the public to believe. The av.
erage grocer, market man and butcher
really has the interests of his CUSTOM
ears at heart--for their interests are
naturally his interests; their trade
supports him and his store.
Prof. Allyn in his work of purging
Westfield of adulterated, low-grade
foods and beverages has proved this
beyond doubt and the grocers Of
Wcstfield in no way differ from those
of any other typical town or city.
These Westield grocers fought
him at first, then changed and fol-
lowed him-for the manufacturers of
foods that had been exposed, jobbcrs
that sold them and their travelling
salesmen had encouraged these local
retailers TO fight Prof. Allyn - and
fight they did until public opinion
took a hand as public opinion al
ways does and always will.

agreement of its kind, by which these
retailers agreed to safeguard the
health and pocketbooks of their Gus
toners by refusing to sell food prod
ucts or beverages which could not
pass the exactihg standards of the
Westfield Board of Health.
Prof. Allyn is a born teacher. 1t
was his competency in teaching that
had aroused his chemistry classes to
such high pitch of enthusiasm, that
had caused the interest in practical
chemistry to spread to the homes, that
had induced housekeepers and even
children to become more discriminat
ing with regard to food purity and
food values. Never before, perhaps,
did teacher succeed in so diffusing
his instructions throughout the COM
munity. 1t was this same skill as
teacher that had started the whole
Westfield pure food movement, and
had converted the groccrs of their
error in fighting him. The fact that
chemistry could be made Of such help

Iron Mining Sustained
Big Depression in 1914

The iron mining industry OF the
United states passed through one of the
greatest periods of depression in history
during the year l9lt according to csti-
mates of production prepared by the
Geological Survey. Officials OF the IRON
mining companies are almost unanimous
in reporting great depression of trade
during the year. Prices generally were
from so to Is cents ton lower than
in 1918, making them as low or lower
than those of 49,? and 1905.
This depression in the mining industry
affected seriously the lake CARRYING
trade, which depends largely on tho
iron ore business from the Superior re-
sion..
The total amount of o.c rnincd during
the year is estimated al about !. .uS 90
tons. with about io,0Dn0 600 tons shipped.
Production and shipments show a fall
