Wanted Right to Lie.
Senator Strayer was deeply touched
by Eddy's remarks, so deeply that he
spoke louder than usual, and that is 9
work of supererrogation He said it was
a principle that it was better than II
guilty escape than that one innocent
suffer. "You can t head man off from
lying if he is inclined that way;' said
he. Then he spoke at length intimating
that man should not be curbed in his
"God given right to lie" if he wanted
to. eff you forbid merchant lying
in the newspapers you can't prevent him
lying to his customers. He will sell the
customers goods as all wool that are
straight shoddy even though he does
not say so in the papers. We want a
chance over our way to sell our hops
Why, under this law if we sold a deal
er hops as clean, and they were just a
little moldy, he could have us Jailed.
Give the farmer a chance. If he brought
eggs ito market and said they were
fresh and one or two proved to be of
ancient vintage he could be arrested
for false statements. The farmer has
to lie, to keep even with the mer-
chant.
Senator l.. S. Smith took the ground
that under present conditions the mer-
chants who did not lie in his adver-
tisements was Just wasting his money,
He might just as we'll throw it away.
The honest merchant can't go up
against the dishonest advertiser. If he
does he goes up aud stays there. Sen
ator Bishop believed the bill all right
and that all advertising should be
strictly honest
Proposed the Impossible.
Farrell thought the bill all right and

the proposal to amend the bill so that
it would require the advertiser had ae-
tual knowledge of the falsity of the
advertisement would make the bill of
no use. If You gave an advertiser an
inch he would take the whole tape line.
0rton said Hif Senator Strayer could
make a workable bill that would pre-
vent lawyer lying he would vote for
it,' Strayer smiled sarcaStically at be-
ing given an impossible task, and looked
as though 0rton was not complying
with the terms of his proposed law in
his statement.
Strayer had stated that merchant
who sold goods as all wool who really
believed he was telling the truth, might
be jailed under this law, and 0rton said
the merchant might say they were about

Bread in Two Cities.

That high prices of food in
this country are largely arbitra-
ry has been convulsively illus
trated by Mr.. Gompers at Wash
ingtou. Bread which in Detroit
sells at 13 cents a loaf is sold in
Windsor, across the river, for 9
cents.
Windsor is practically a suburb
of Detroit. Economically the
two cities are subject to the
same conditions. Except as they
may be manipulated. wheat and
flour cost no more in one than in
the other. There is little differ
ence in the wage scale or in the
price of such real estate as
bakers usually occupy or in the
methods and expense Of distribu-
ton.
But Windsor is in the Province
of Ontario, Canada, and Canada
has a Food Control Law, whereas
Detroit is in the United States,
where no such legislation has
yet been enacted. The excess
of A cents a loaf charged in De-
troit amounts to a levy of millions
of dollars a year upon the people
of an important city, and indi-
Gates how colossal must be the
impositions practiced upon the
country at large.
