and exporters were fortunate In having
a market made broad partly through the
dealings OF outsiders.
The facts before the trade indicate
that frenzled buying for public account
did not establish the present prices,
which are the highest IN thirty-fve
years with the exception Of the year Of
the Letter deal in 1898. when sls5 was
paid for wheat, and in the Hutchinson
corner year Of 1887. when the price
scared to sl.77.
At the beginning OF this season there
were Sai .00O,OO0 bushels OF wheat on
hand in the United states, to which must
be added the carryover from the piv-

The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1915-02-27
Communicated

Crystal Falls, Mich, Feb 20, 1915.
Editor Diamond Drill:
| have been quite interested
in your articles about the prices of
groceries in this town don't know
much of the merits of the controversy
but II looks funny TO me that a fellow
who lives at Mansfield or Alpha can
buy his groceries and meats just as
cheaply as we who live In Crystal
Falls. pay cash and lug our stun home
have noticed in other papers where
the merchants advertise bargains oc-
casionally where person can get
gods at lower price than that OF
every day but never see any in Crys-
tai Falls and l have wondered why.
Mr.. Neugebauer says that there is
no trust. Now, buy gods at all OF
the stores and have noticed that the
same price is charged for the same
goods all over town and this isn't
once or twice but all the time. Is It
merely a coincident that the prices
should be the same?
Mr. Ostrand says that there IS more
than one way to "skin cat" We
suppose that the cat" in this case Is
the people who patronize the stores
and we must admit that he Is we'll
skinned
Will Mr. Ostrand tell us why II
trading at his store is such a bonanza,
several Of his directors and many OF
his stockholders trade az other stores
and some of them-and they are d.
rectors, too actually send to the
mail order houses for their goods
know this TO be a fact because
have been at the station and saw the
goods arrive
Mr. Ostrand tells us that his store
pays eight per cent dividend, on
stock FIVE per cent on purchases TO
members and two per cent on pur-
chases to those not members. VIII he
now tell us who pays that discount
on purchases and how II Is that his !
store can pay dividends that equal IN
some cases $50 per cent on the stock !
holding II none OF the stores are maxi |
ing any money as Mr. Neugebauei
claims in his letter.
There Are lot OF things we peo-
pie would like to know about this
business, Mr. Editor. and we hope |
that you keep right on at II until the /
whole truth Is known.
Yours truly.
A Reader.

Complaint has been made TO us
that young man was arrested upon
the streets of this city last Sunday
for being drunk and disorderly and
our informant says, "There, you see
the liquor dealers can't be square"
the latter phrase having reference to
an agreement between the liquor
dealers to keep closed and obey the
law. All we can say is that II Is such
occurrences as the one OF last Sun
day that is bringing on this dry
movement. To be fair in the matter,
II has not been shown us that the
young man got his liquor In saloon
ON Sunday but the rejoinder is that
saloons are selling on the sly on Sun
day We know Of some saloons that
are closed tight on Sunday but we
suppose that the good must suffer for
the transgressions OF the bad SO long
as the good tolerate the bad

beater at any time. II has been an In

the next day the fat was in the fire.
A year ago the outlook at the pro-

Subsequent work showed up what
was thought to be an excellent lens

development of this new ore showed
that II was not of the extent supposed
and as there is a big stockpiIe OF the

mine any more of that grade.
The property has not been explored

THE RAILROAD RATE SITUATION
Under the above caption the Hough-
ton Mining Gazette. IN commenting
upon the policy OF referring the state
ment OF the railroad officials 10 the
state railroad commission TO yerifi-
cation takes exception TO action on
ground that II is questioning the YER
acity OF railroad managers, In light OF
what has transpired within the last
decade, we cannot see where the ref
erence OF any such question TO a con-
stituted authority can I'm the least be
construed into questioning the word
OF any man. That is what railroad ana
other commissions are for. They
grew out OF such occurrences at the
New Haven scandal. the Alton scandal
and numerous scandals Of like nature
where railroad financiels fieeced the
people. The people were hoodwinked
by those high In authority. They
were at loss TO know who was telling
the truth and who was falsifying.
therefore they said we will have a
commission to tell us who is right
and who is wrong. The turning to the
commission for reliable information
is but in line with fixed policy and
should arouse no opposition from the
iaili DAD men for when the commission
speaks there will then be no question
as to what the people ought to believe.
Nor, are we so Mortified at the show
ing made by the railroads as is our
friend OF the Gazette. We feel that we
are safe in saying that showing or
earnings in any of the lines OF indus
try in this state for the past year will
reveal like situation to that shown
by the railroads, yes, we believe that
the Gazette can make just as poor
business showing il il were called
upon to do So We are all in the same
boat as the railroads SO far as poor
business is concerned and we don't
ask the people to pay the freight
either; we just grin and bear It.
OF course, there is the unanswer-
able argument that the railroads
must be allowed to live We doubt
that any fair minded person advo-
Gates any other policy If It is neces-
sary to pay more for them to live
and we believe that 1t is--the people
will pay it when they know what is
what. There are selfish people who
will not want to pay but they are In
the minority. The fair minded are in
the majority and when they are made
to feel that the coin they pay in adj
ditional fare is not jingled in the poe
ket of some magnate the increase
will come promptly
And then, there's that thread worn
argument OF service" The railroads
will give just as little service. in
crease or no increase, as the occasion /
warrants. When they can see advan-
tage in service the people will get Il |
and the rate increase will have little |
to do with that part of the game Train |
service schedules are not made I'm

HAMPERING LIQUOR TRAFFIC
The people In general have not
awakened TO the strides with which
liquor traffic restrictions are being
drawn about the trade in this nation.
The advocates OF dry" nation are
gradually drawing the meshes
tighter.
The question has been taken up
IN the federal congress with an
avidlty that is surprising and before
the next congress passes into his
tory II Is probable that some legis-
lation aimed at the yitals of liquor
merchandising will be enacted into
law.
In an address delivered at Balti-
more last week Congressman Ran
dali OF California. prohibitionist,
told of what is being done in con
gress
"A series OF four proposed laws
are being prepared" he said. briefly
described as follows:
Federal liquor license receipts
are hereafter to be issued only TO
holders OF valid licenses already
granted by local authorities IN the
states
THE United States mails will be
closed TO use by the liquor interests
for any purpose whatever. thus pre-
venting the vicious and fraudulent
advertising published in many news
papers and sent through the mails.
"The United States win prohibit
the use OF interstate commerce for
liquor shipments or for any purpose
and will stop importation from for
eign countries. thus erecting a stone
wall at every state line.
"A federal embargo will Ne placed
against the waste of food products.
by prohibiting the Transformation OF
grain. fruits or any product valuable
for food. into intoxicating or nlco-
holic liquors"

Annually as the birthday anniver-
sary OF Washington and Lincoln come
around someone asks the question,
"Who was the greatest man, Wash
ington or Lincoln?' The question is
foolish one for the reason that the
two men canot be compared on their
public accomplishments. They were
not of the same mould; of the same
environments nor were their tasks so
similar that one can compare their
work intelligently. Both will stand
in the nations history as the greatest
It's immaterial which outranked the
other Washington was the father,
Lincoln the savior Had there been no
government to save there could have
been no savior. Providence has
brought forth the right man at the
right time in the history of this ma
ton to accomplish the task neces-
sary and perpetuate this government
of freedom. A time will undoubtedly
come when another crisis will call for
another greatest" and when that
time comes the guiding hand of God
will bring forth the man but through
all the ages of history the name Of
Washington will stand as the first for
the reason that he was IN as the con
ception. No comparison can or will
remove him from the place he right
fully occupies.
