Keeping prices down
on the lowest level

The country has gone
wild with high prices.
We all suffer from them,
and cannot believe that all
are fair or necessary.
The vision of extraor-
binary large profits has
blurred the sense of those
who control the raw mate
rial, and in many instances
of manufacturers and re-
tailers.
At least Is per cent of
the consumers, on the other
hand, have not 'averaged an
increase of over Is per cent
in their income, while the
cost of living increased 40
per cent or more.

Where will it end?

Through all this turmoil
we have kept our even
tenor, selling on our old
established fair percentage
of mark-up over the whole
sale cost and protecting our
customers from inferior

RAGUSE'S EXPULSION.

The Wisconsin State Senate has expelled Frank
Ragusc, Socialist representing Milwaukee district
And the expulsion based, according to all
information obtainabe, on the ground that Raguse
stated that 'patriotism can be created only in two
ways first you must destroy people, or second, you
must destroy property Mr. Raguse also said that
the Maine was blown up from the inside, opinion
in which thousands of Americans concur
We see nothing particularly Objectionable in the
statements of Raguse except that they might not
form to the views Of many individuals who let their
enthusiasm - often mis-named patriotism - carry
them away and cause them to forget the fundamen-
tails upon which this government was founded
1t this is the entire indictment against Raguse,
the case seems deplorably weak It has always been
assumed that wide range of discussion is allowed,
in Legislative halls in order to arrive at the wsest
possible solution of pending public questions.
To deny Frank Ragusc any other legislator the
privilege of expressing his honest convictions in a
state capitol whose inside walls plastered with
beautiful sentiments about justice and liberty, free
dom of thought and Of Speech is of the things it
is difficult for forwardlooking citizens to under

NEW YORK, July 16, (Mail Cores pondence) ).-Alfredo Cochi'S murder of Ruth Cruger, which he confessed to after fleeing to Italy where he IS safe from extradition, harks back to the stone age when men took the woman they desired by force or killed her.
 These startling facts were re- counted in Cocchi's confession, which was received ty Police Commissioner Woods and District Attorney Swann today from Bologna, Italy, where the slayer is in prison.
 Cocchi, in his confession, stated he never had seen the high school girl until she brought her skates to his motorcycle shop on the morning of February 13. She told him she would call in the afternoon for them. Cocchl says that then and there he made up his mind. When she returned for the skates he made advances. She repulSed him stepping back to the door of the store. Cocchi and the girl were alone in the shop.
 He ChOkes Her.
 ''I grasped the girl by the shoul- ders," said Cocchi. I drew her to me and began to kiss her. She began to scream for the poHce-so loudly that I choked her and then jammed my fist against her mouth. l tried to rip her clothing off. She was so strong and resisted so that l was not even able to tear her dress. She fought to the last.
 "I threw her down heavily, her head striking the floor. She was stunned, but not unconscious. She continued fighting, dazed as she was. In my fury l dragged her to the trap door and threw the half-consciOuS girl through. She landed head first on the concrete floor ten feet below. leaped through the trap door. The girl was still fight ing.
 With my right hand" the confes- sion reads, "I grasped a stick of heavy wood. The girls remarkable vi- tality came to her rescue for a mo- ment. She struggled to her knees, her hands raised in a piteous appeal to protect herself. Three times l struck the child as she thus fought for life and honor"
 Then followed a description of the effect of the blows. Very slowly the girls body crumpled. Then ever-de- creasing moans issuing from her lips, she became still
 "I then buried her." continued COc- chi. There was no difficulty. l took the body, still warm, and threw it into the cavity in a corner of the cellar. l showed it in head first and only put a box over the cavity, no dirt"
 Cocchi said he left matters thus all the night of February l3 and until after the police arrived the next day.
 Oh, Yes, the Police
 'I took them into the cellar, but they didn't notice anything" he said.
 Cocchi devoted some space to the difficulties he had with his wife. He did not tell the name of the ship on which he escaped from America. Nor did he state who helped him financially and otherwise.
