REPUBLICANS MEET
TWO DAYS LATER

Election in the En-
emy's Camp

! Washington, March l5.--Another Sc
ries of conferences among Democratic
House leaders has resulted in call for
caucus here ON April IL, four days be-
fore the opening OF the special session,
to line up Democratic members for the
speakership fight. The Republicans viii
caucus April IA, and the five independ-
ents who will hold the balance of power
between the two big parties will confer
at about the same time in further eff
fort to agree on some concerted action.
Democratic Leader Kitchin talked over
the situation for three hours Tuesday
with Speaker Clark. The caucus call
sent out afteward contained an urgent
request that every Democratic represen-
tative be present. The Republican lead
ers decided to hold conference on April
5 and will take steps then to swing Re-
publican members into line. There still
is much talk of bipartisan House or
ganization, but Mr.. kitchin said he did
not expect such plan to materialize.
Both Speaker Clark and Republican
Leader Mann, who will be candidates for
the speakership, are taking particular
pains to avoid any appearance of sharp
practices among their followers in the
contest. Mr.. Mann urged Governor Whit
man of New York to call special cleo
ton to fill the vacancy in the Democrat
ic fifteenth district of that state and
Tuesday Speaker Clark telegraphed Sen
ator Hollis of New Hampshire asking
that the state legislature amend the laws
so an election could be held before April
10 in the Republican district which was
by the late Representative
Sulloway.
The speaker wrote.
Il think that our folks in the legis- |
lature ought to cooperate with the Re-
publicans to pass law so that the va
eancy can be filled from the Manchester
district in time for the representative
TO appear here on the sixteenth of April |
for the organization of the House. That
would be fair and proper. The intent
Of the constitution and the desire of the
people is that all districts be represented

Washington, D. G., March l5.--Secre-

The reports omit all mention of the

Mexico of American Ambassador Fetch

War Prices.

Complaints at the high cost of living
have plenty of basis in fact, but it may
be some consolation to those who are
now paying exorbitant prices to COM
pare their lot with that of their fathers
and mothers, who went through a similar
experience during the war days of the
early Cos, for theirs was an experience
far more strenuous than that now exist
ing.
Our attention was recently called to a
little moth-esten ledger of small mer.
chant in town not far from Chicago,
which records the transactions between
the merchant and his customers during
Civil war days. We learned from the
items contained in that old ledger that
flour sold for S4.25 per sack, kerosene oil
$50 per gallon, sugar pounds for ST.,
calico 20 cents yard, tea 81 per pound,
matches 10 cents per box. soap 30 cents a
bar. In the year 1864, the last year of
the war, calico jumped to 40 cents
yard, cotton sheeting to so cents, cotton
ticking to 20 cents, sugar four pounds
for 81, salt s. barrel. tea $3.50 per
pound and other things of common ne
cessity at similar prices.
From farmers point of interest, con
ditions then were still more unfavorable,
for while he had to pay the prices above
quoted, everything he had to sell brought
him about half of what he is now receiv-
ing. Dressed pork sold at five cents per
pound, while now it brings 10 to 10 cents
on the hoof. Dairy butter sold at Is
cents, while now it is about 40 cents.
Chickens sold for Is cents each. while
now they go at Is cents pound. Eggs
were 10 cents dozen, while now they
are worth 40 to 50 cents. Wood sold for
