MERELY COMMENT
Politics sure does make strange
bedfellows.

F'rinstance, there's Vic Lawson, Jim
Kelley and Andy Lawrence.
Aldermen Kenna- and CoughIin and
Marian Drake and julius Rosenwald.
Likewise Barney Grogan and Sam
insult and the department stores
And all of 'em for Sweitzer and
reform.
Marian Drake says she's for SWEET
ger because he will clean up the
town;
And Barney Grogan is for Sweitzer
because he will be strong for per-
sonal liberty.
And, in the meantime, Roger SuIIi-
van is laughing up his sleeve while
he. sicks Sweitzer on to yell LORI
MER" at Billy Thompson.
Somebody's going to get badly
fooled after election, and we won't
even guess who's going to get the
double cross.
But it's safe to predict that the
Municipal Voters league will take
the SuIlivan-SWeitZer end of it.
In the meantime, nobody is watch
ing the public service corporations
closely;
And it's a cinch they are in this
campaign somewhere, and up to the
necks.
But the people will forget that
while the Thompson men are yelling
Sullivan and the Sullivan men are
yelling LOrimer.
Great is political BUNK.
Now guess which end of the fight

Philadelphia, March y. - The re-

Sunday closed here yesterday amid
scenes of frenzied fervor, during
which people in the audiences at the
four meetings tore flags from their
stats, flowers from before the pulpit
and sawdUst from the floor of the
tabernacle as souvenirs. 1 1858 people
responded yesterday to the call of
Sunday for converts, making a total

Before Sunday left the city last
night the campaign committee
turned over to him a draft for $751;

offering which Philadelphia gave him.
$4,000 collected at the four services

SAYS PRICES ARE GOING DOWN
According to Sol Westerfeld, chair
man of the trade relations committee
of the Natl Assn of Retail GroceTs,
the cost of living is going down and
will continue to decrease.
Today bread will go back to the old
price of 5 cents. When the price
went up last February small bakers
did not ride in the same boat with the
big fellows, as the latter figured they
would. Their sale of scent Ioaves
made large inroads on the sales Of
the big firms.
The price of eggs, potatoes and
butter has also gone down.
Because of the limited exports Of
the last few months the cold storage
houses are packed to the doors. Trad
ing on the Live Stock exchange has
been light in the past few weeks.
This all points to a slump in prices
which is long overdue.

City Salary Raising Ordinance
Wasn't Ready Today.
Employees Still Waiting for
Truth of Promises.

That new city salary ordinance,
Which carries increases for a number
of city employees, is about the slowest
maturing creature yet discovered The
subject became a matter of interest
and the topic of promises away back
in July of last year when allowances
were made in the budget, but the
thing just dragged along The city
commissioners did nothing and the
wistfully waiting employees became
more wistful and were accorded more
waiting.
As election day drew nearer they
were told to wait until after election.
There was nothing elese to do, 50 they
waited. After election anticipations
ago today the new salary ordinance
was due to be introduced.
But 1t wasn't

there would probably be quite q fight

The fight was to be a matched bout
between Mr.. Newland and himself,
the mayor and other members OF the
city commission refusing to De drawn
into the controversy over the question
of whether Mr.. Newland would rec-
ommend salary increases for the en-
ployces Of his department in keeping
with his promises to them.
But there wasn't any fight. The
ordinance did not come up for con-
sideration because the city attorney
had not completed it. Something had
been typewriter and handed TO the
members of the city commission, but
it was not what they had been ex-
pecting, so again action on the salary
ordinance was postponed and the
city employees must 60 some more

the past week. Mr.. Rosen and some
friends went to New York on Thursday
in a Packard Twin-Six from this city,

''If it were not for the Lincoln High
way signs We would never have found
our way back to the city in the fog

they certainly are of great benefit to
the tourist"

for the erection OF Lincoln Highway
