LIQUOR AND FOOD CONTROL.

The reason for abolishing the man
ufacture and sale of whisky is that it
is unnecessary as a medicine; that it
is dangerous as a beverage, and that
its use is hurtful to the citizen And
liquor, therefore. being a nuisance,
and having no excuse for existence,
that are untitled.
When we approach the liquor ques-
ton from these angles we are o. un-
assailable ground, We are standing
with both feet firmly planted on the
truth, and the result of a fight made
along these lines is always sure to
win.
Prohibition should stand or fall
upon its own merit The efforts of
the prohibitionists, says the Memphis
Commercial Appeal, itself an advo-
cate of prohibition, delayed the pas
sage of the appropriation bill more
than month. and is delaying the pas
sage of the food control bill.
The appropriation bill should have
been passed two months ago. The
food control bill should have been
passed six weeks ago.
More money has been exploited
from the consumers in the United
States in these six weeks because of
the excessive price of food and cloth
ing and coal and iron. and everything
else, than would pay the expenses CT
the United States for a year.
This is time when the government
calls upon its citizens. and the service
must be rendered quickly. 1t it not a
time for quid pro quo. 1t is not a
time for 'if I do this for you what
will you do for me?"
IT is not encouraging to President
Wilson and the gentlemen who are CO.
operating with him to have conditions
proposed to them before an agree
ment can be made to any effort they
are making.
The thing to do is to give the gov
eminent unqualified support in the eff
fort to conserve food. The next thing
| is to give the government unqualified
support in every measure that tends
to a speedy ending of the war. In the
matter of internal reform we should
move separately, and in the end we
will move more efficiently.

VACATIONS IN AMERICA.

Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the
interior, is making a strong campaign
to present to the public the advan-
tages of the national parks. Mr.. Lane
makes the announcement that the
national parks will be open to visitors
this summer, as usual, notwithstand-
ing rumors to the contrary. He has
been untiring in his efforts to pre-
serve these parks and make them &C
cessible to the public and expresses
the belief that the entrance of the
United States into the world war will
not materially affect Western tourist
travel. In his opinion the national
parks will be quite as well patronized,
this year, as they were during each
of the last two years. when upwards
Of 400, 900 people visited them.
He points out it is even more i'm
portant now, than in times of peace,
that the health and vitality of the ma
TONS citizenship be conserved; that
rest and recreation must materially
assist in this conservation of human
tissue and energy. and that the noun
famous regions of the national parks
offer opportunities in abundance for
thoroly enjoying a vacation of long or
short duration.

TO REDUCE COSTS
Topeka Stores May Soon Abol-
ish All Deliveries.
Merchants Discuss Plans at C..
of C. Today at Noon.

In accordance with the request of
the national council of defense, Tope-
ka merchants are planning to reduce
operating costs of their sores. Prob
ably the first step that will be taken
will be to do away with the delivery
system. Costs of operation have been
increased by this system of service"
which the dealers have been offering
the public.
A meeting of number of Topeka's
largest merchants was he'd this noon
at the Chamber of Commerce for the
purpose of devising war time econo-
mics. The foremost point in their
discussion was that of delivery.
Charge by Package.
Plans for making a slight charge
per package delivered, similar to the
plan now in use in Europe was sug-
gested as a means of saving. Prices
of articles in the stores would, under
this system be based on cost without
delivery. Another plan suggested was
to do away with all deliveries of pur-
chases amounting to less than SIS. A
third plan was to allow tn. United
States post office to tend to local de-
liveries thru parcel post. This last
plan, however, would apply only to re-
tail merchants dealing in ;-on-perish-
able goods, that is, the dry goods and
merchandise men.
A request was received two weeks
ago from Washington, asking that
service IN merchandising be checked
for economy; that deliveries ard the
usual accommodations be sacrificed
during the war and the most effective
methods of merchandising be prac-
ticed.
AS a result of this request, deliver
les in Topeka may be stopped.
Make Investigations.
The National council of defense
states in a letter recently received
that Investigations along this lire and
survey of the economy moves will
be made August 1. This means that
IN case any plan is adopted by the To-
cal dealers, Topeka buyers will be
troddtlg the streets with pockets bulg-
| ing, umbrellas loaded, balancing bun
| dies.
Topeka buyers would carry their
| own packages and no longer ask the
merchant to deliver
| The saving, according to the mer-
chants in session this noon, will
be to the consumer and not to the
merchant. 1t will mean a lower price
| for commodities and war time econ
omy to the public.
| Then merchants agreed to invite the
| women of Topeka to an open meeting
for the purpose of discussing the
problem of delivery. The meeting
will be held Thursday noon at the
| Chamber of Commerce. With the CO.
operation of the women, the mer-
chants stated this noon that they
| would feel safe in introducing the new
plan. Definite action on the matter
will proba bly, be taken this week.

employees GET BONUS
w. A. l.. Thompson Hardware Com
pany Surprises Workers with
171% Per Cent Lift

Employees of the w. A. L. Thompson
Hardware company were greeted with
pleasant surprise today in the shape
of bonus checks representing 171z per
cent of their wages for the past six
months. Checks were issued to As.
The amount of the bonus is figured
on the basic increase in the cost of
commodities-necess of life. The
company paid the first bonus % en-
ployes last January 1, the check COW
ering the entire year of 1916. This
year the system is put on a six months
basis and, as stated in the note ac-
companying the checks, the company
hopes to pay another bonus at the
conclusion of the current year.

TITLE TO ORGAN NOW
City Receives Bill OF Sale From Trust
Company Today.

The city commission today received
a bill of sale from the Prudential
Trust company. The auditorium pipe
organ has been paid for.
The debt, outstanding for years was
wiped out a few days ago when W.
H. WATSON, finance commissioner,
sent a check to the trust company for
$4,392.SO.
The city pipe organ was purchased
several years ago from the kimball
Piano and Organ company. The ini-
tial cost was approximately $4,000.
Payment of the amount was under
taken by a series of concerts and
benefits. The latter ran into the
scores. But the receipts increased
with snail-like slowness.
The Kimball company, after few
years, got tired waiting for it's money
and served notice that payment would
be pressed A committee was APP
pointed and several schemes to pay
for it were launched. The result was
that a number of prominent Topekans
finally gave their notes to the Pru-
dental Trust company, which, armed
with the securities agreed to carry
the debt for an indefinite length of
time.
Not long ago the city treasurer dis
covered that the city had suddenly
come into possession of several thou
sand dollars, collected from the coun-
ty after a lawsuit for back taxes. AT
a meeting of the city commission plans
for killing this municipal golden calf
were discussed. Some one thought of
the pipe organ and moved that a part
of 1he back tax money should go to
pay off the debt. Some one else
looked up the debt and found that
the amount remaining due and inter-
est accumulated amounted to
$4,392.S0. The motion went thru.
This morning Finance Commission
er WATSON drew a long breath.
The pipe organ he said, be
longs to the city
