The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1919-03-03

The Tarpon Springs Leader a few
days ago had two large, fine pictures
to use on the front page and the show
ing made was interesting. At the top
Of the page was a panoramis view of
the Macrenaris Shipbuilding compa-
ny's yards on the Anclote river. The
yard has turned out the largest YES
sells ever fioated on the river and has
recently finished and had accepted by
the government four huge stevedore
barges. The picture shows a scene of
great activity. The picture on the
over section of the page is an inte-
rior, taken in one Of Tarpon Springs
Big stores and also suggests an es-
tablishment that would do credit to
big city.-Times-Un

BILLY SUNDAY.

The following editorial was printed
in The Leader of Feb. "a:
''FThe Leader hopes that Billy Sunday
will bring as much money into Tampa
as he takes out, but we doubt if he
does. TIE fair brought money to that
city and did lot of good for the
state. Bill will no doubt bring some
curious ones to the place but we doubt
if it viii be a paying investment, f.
nancially, mentally, morally or relig-
iously."
The following letter was received
Feb. II, and we tried to coax the
writer to stand up for Billy in the
open, over their signature. As yet
no one has come forward to be spon-
sor for Billy 50 we are printing the
anonymous letter thinking it may be
of interest to some of our readers:
1.-The Evening Leader:
II note in your issue of Feb. "a an
editorial on Billy Sunday" The writ
ell Of this note doubts very much if
you have ever seen or heard Billy Sun
days sermons, either know or have
been informed or measured in dollars
or cents the wonderful work and good
this man does for the sake of human
lty. You mentioned finance; has any
one Informed you as to the amount of
charity this man leaves behind him?
Did you ever consider what it is worth
to wife if Billy puts just one hus-
band on the straight path again.
"The writer knows from his own
observation of many such cases. I
suggest before passing any further
comments on such character that
you go and hear and see for yourself,
then you may be better qualified to
pass comment on one | consider the
most brilliant and popular man on the
American pulpit of today
There is no man today in the his
tory OF the world that can draw as
large a crowd and keep them coming
night after night for weeks and even
months as Billy Sunday can. This GER
tainly is not the man you refer to.
My advice to all: don't knock, go and
hear him; he has message for you.
"A Subscriber of Your Paper"
We trust we have not made the i'm
preston on any one that we are
against Billy Sunday and his big show.
If we had his ability we would get the
coin just as easy as he does. We are
just jealous because we can't put it
over the people" like Billy does.

vast--Other Democrats Not in Favor
of Measure.

Washington, Jan. e9.-Thc food ad-
ministlation submitted TO congress
proposed legislation comforting upon
the president practically unlimited
power to buy and sell the American
wheat crops of 1918 and 1919 and dis
tribute the supply of srain not only in
this country but thruout the world.
The bill proposed an appropriation Of
Si,250. 600, 900 for the purchase OF wheat
by the president At the present guaran-
tecd price Of $2.26 a bushel, or higher,
and for financing the operations OF the
greatest grain corporation In the
world
with fall in the price Of wheat in
prospect, it Is proposed that the gov
eminent buy the crops, at the stipu-
lated price and resell the grain at the
market price, meeting the loss out of
the $3.50, 100000 appropriation.

While there is little opposition in
congress to this purpose Of the pro-
posed legislation. it Is already appar-
int that other features of the measure.
comforting powers OF tho widest lae-
tude upon the executive, will precipiI
tate a bitter fight. Chairman Gore. Of
the senate committee on agriculture,
to whom the bill was sent, declined to
introduce it. chiefly because OF a pro-
vision continuing and expanding the
powers OF the food administration W
control the price OF all foodstuffs and
feeds. u
This would permit the food admin
istration to control the price and the
market Of everything that man or
beast eats Senator Gore said. Il
shall prepare measure Of my own
and introduce it."
Hearings Next Week.
Chairman Lever of the house COM
mittee said he had not decided whether
he would introduce the administration
measure in the house. Hearings on
this or similar legislation. however. are
scheduled TO begin next Monday.
The bill authorizes the president to
expend the fund thru any agency he
elects. to borrow additional sums and
pledge credit and to buy the wheat

MORRIS MAKES FEEDING PROFIT,
Two Big Packers Assert There 10 No
Need Of New w. 8. Laws

Washington, Jan. 29--Nct profit ol
Isl per cent were made by Morris q
Co. in the fattening of 10000 cattle IN
1915 and 1917. Edwsrd Morris. pros
idcnt oc the company. furnished this
information to the house interstate
and foreign commerce committee aftsi
teegraphing to Chicago for the rec
ords OF the transaction.
Mr. Morris told the committee yes
terday that cattle fee ling was one ot
tho most profitable parts Of the bust
ness and that he supposed tho FRONTS
were from 20 to 20 per cent or tho in
vsstmcnt.
Morris & Co. so far ms the testi-
mony has disclosed is the only one OF
tho big five" packers who purchl &c
cattle for the purpose OF fattening them.
Tho huge profits were referred TO by
Mr.. Morris to prove his point That the
cattle producers. who are the chief
supporters Of the pending legislation
for the control OF the packers, arc
making more money than the packers
and should have been investigated
themselves.
The Morris Co. barns. where tho
cattle arc fattened. are located at Fo-
oria. H.. and until the dry wave hit
the liquor business the feed used was
corn left after distilling.
Mr.. Morris said that in the fall of
1916 his company bought 3,t0i cattle
at cost Of s,oI,ot4. The total cost
of fattening was figured as sl.lSS.5oi
and the cattle were sold IL the spring
and summer of 1917 for si,5Ga.o3!. a
profit OF s4c3,ia7. Not including the
borrowed money and hasihg it only
on the actual capital invested in the
transa CT ion. Mr.. Morris said the prohi
vas 81 per cent.
Representative Hamilton of Mich
igan asked Mr. Morris if the feeder on
the western range could make as good
a profit.
There has never been any investi-
CATION about that and ] am not in a
position to say" Mr.. Morris replied.
Can the feeder in the corn belt do
as well as YOU" Mr.. Hamilton con-
tinucd.
Il think great many feeders have
been making as much profit" Mr. Nor
ris said.

SOCIAL DEMOCRATS STRONGEST
Phillip Scheidemann Looms as Party
Leader in Prussian Parliament.

Amsterdam. Jan. 29.-The work o.
counting the vote cast in the Prussian
elections is still incomplete but partial
returns show that the majority social
list vote was cut down in the larger
towns. according to advices from Ber-
lin.
The independent socialists made
gains, probably as a result OF propa-
ganda carried on after the shooting of
DR.. Liebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg.
1t is believed that the social demo-
cratic party. led by Phillip Scheide-
mann, will be the strongest in the
Prussian parliament. The next party
in strength will he the democrats with
the Christian peoples party, formerly
the centrists ranking third.
