seek to subordinate everything else
to their will on this one thing.
The booze interests are selfish and
would control politics in the interest
of their business, but the Drys who
would support a rotten, reactionary,
grating alderman, if he happened to
be Dry, are no better.
1t so happens in this campaign
that some of the aldermen the
preachers are opposing have done
about all the work for temperance
that has been done in council. That
doesn't put haloes on their brows in
my mind, but it also happens that
they have fought for the public in
terest on many occasions and in mat
tiers more vital to the public welfare
than the booze issue.
To my way of thinking, some of
the reform work of otherwise excel
lent aldermen is impotent piffle, but
their real, earnest work in protecting
the public from greedy corporations
and grating lawyers and politicians
has been great. And Pm judging
them by their batting average.

THE VETS AND THE DRYS.-
Bishop Samuel Fallows and six other
clergymen have rushed to Mayor
Thompson's rescue, asking public
support for the mayors aldermanic
candidates for no other reason than
that Thompson 'is the only mayor
in forty years who has had the cour-
age to enforce the law"
And by enforcing the law they
mean only the particular law that
they wanted enforced-the Sunday
closing law. ~
By taking this narrow stand in a
municipal campaign these preachers
have got clear down on the very low
political level the booze interests
take. The fanatical Vets don't care
how an alderman represents his con-
stituents otherwise so long as he
votes wet. And now it appears that
leading Drys don't care how rotten an
alderman is otherwise so long as he
votes dry.
Governments are not established
and maintained merely to regulate
human thirst People are interested
in other things, and there are govern
mental functions quite as important
to civilization as regulating the use
of booze.

saloons on earth went out of bust
ness, although l think over-eating is
responsible for more ill-health and
human misery >than ovn~-driuklo~.

TRADE COMMISSION
NOT TO INQUIRE
into HIGH PRICES
Issues Statement Saying to
Do so Would Merely Du-
plicate Work of Depart
ment of Justice

Washington, November 1S.-The fed
eral trade commission announced today
that it will not undertake an investiga-
ton of the high prices of necessaries of
cation of the work of the department of
justice under the Sherman antitrust law.
The commission made this announce
ment:
THE federal trade commission has re-
ceived numerous suggestions that it
make general investigation concerning
high prices of necessaries of life. 1t
recognizes the far-reaching effects of
these prices on the standards of living in
the United States, and it believes every
effort should be made to prevent the
exploitation of consumers.
Insofar as these high prices may be
due to the existence of unlawful combi-
nation among dealers. such a situation
would be in the purview of the Sherman
antitrust act The department of JUS
tice, which is primarily charged with
the enforcement of that statute, has al
ready instituted a searching inyestiga-
tioE throughout the country by means of
United States attorneys, and in view of
this fact q similar investigation by the
commission would be an unnecessary
duplication of work. Moreover at the d.
rection or Congress, the commission Is
now investigating other matters that tax
it's force to the utmost, and with it's linz
led appropriation, it could not undertake
additional work at this time.
I'm view. of these facts, the commits
sion does not deem it advisable at pres
ent to undertake an investigation into
high prices in general"

To newspaper men he said he
did not wish to make q formal de-

refused to say whether he denied
the report to President Wilson, and
White House officials were equally
silent.
Mr.. Dawson is understood to have

so over the entire plans in the hope OF

that in the meantime he would not decide

CARE FOR MY BOYS, /"
SAYS ssMOTHER' JONES
Gompers, Spokesman for Visitors,
Declares People Have Taken Joy
in UNFOLDING the Presidents
Hands in Great Work

Washington, November 1S-President
Wilson told delegation from the Amer
lean Federation of Labor late today that
all class feeling in America should be
tice with heart in it." He declared
that no one who, fails to work for this
end is qualified to call himself a true
American.
The delegation comprised the member
ship of the Federations annual conven-
ton which has been meeting in Balti-
more. The delegates came to Washing
ton on special cars and marched to the
White House headed by band to con-
graduate the President on his re-elec-
ton. Samuel Gompers, president of the
fedora ton, acted as their spokesman, de-
claring laboring people had come to rec
ognize that Mr.. Wilson stands for JUS
tice, freedom and righteousness.
UNFOLDING HANDS
1--WE have taken joy in upholding your
hands in your great work. said Mr..
Gompers.
81 need not say that, coming to me as
you do on such an errand, l am very
deeply gratified and very greatly
cheered," answered the President. III
would be impossible for me off-hand to
say just what thoughts are stirring in me
by what Mr.. Gompers has said to me as
do is get rid of any class division in this
country, not only, but of any class con-
seriousness and feeling. The worst thing
that could happen to America would be
that she should be divided into groups
and camps In which there were men and
women who thought that they were at
odds with one another; that the spirit OF
America was not expressed except in
them, and that possibilities of antagon-
ism were the only things that We had
to look forward to.
WOULD BLOTyO OUT LINES
las Mr.. Gompers said, achievement is
comparatively small matter. but the spirit
in which things are done is of the es-
sence of the whole thing, and that am
striving for, and what ! hope you are
striving for is to blot out all the lines of
division in America and create a unity
of spirit and of purpose founded upon
this. the consciousness that we are all
men and women of the same sort. and
that if we do not understand each other,
we are not true Americans. If We can
not enter into each others essential well
fare, then we have not yet qualified as
representatives of the American Spirit

The British army deliv-

German lines on both banks

attempt to break through.
The attack, which was pre-
coded bv enormous artillery

the German announcement.
The fighting is still in prog

of the Ancre. This action fol-
lowed advances northeast of
Beaumont-Hamel and north

near Sailly-Saillisel last
night broke down under the
German fire, according to
the German report. On the
other hand, France reports
the repulse of an attack by a
strong German detachment
on the French trenches at
Biaches.

Military authorities in Berlin are
quoted as saying that the southwest
ern theatre of war, the Pennsylvania
campaign, is to be the scene of the
decision in the war, not the Russian
front nor at Verdun or on the Somme.
The German troops in western Wal
lachia are reported by Berlin to be
making good progress and scoring
further gains in the Alt and Kiul
valleys. The Rumanians announced
that violent fighting continues in
those two valleys, but say they made
progress near Dragoslavele.
