CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES

~ OLD IS cheap therefore prices high S mists
 Wheat high, prices high, another economist
 Imitation is the cause declares a third thinker.
 All of these explanations sound far they go. If gold has fixed vauo and wheat rises from dollar to two dollars bushel it will take twice much gold to buy the quantity the change obviously would be in the wheat, not in the gold.
 I the contrary the value of gold should double wheat would have to be given
 There the abundant evidence that wheat and other commodities have increased in value. But that gold has decreased.
 Gold remained same, than dou- bled
 The main cause of high prices is the war; big market which could be freely sod Every body who has anything tries sell it at profit and the easier it is to sell things the profit can be demanded necessarily brings rising in prices
 War makes prices rise for another reason War IS not productive and the things used carry have to be taken out of the stock which the producers created
 This burden rests individuals in the form of taxes and especially in the form of income taxes.
 High prices good for the who actually goods, but bad for the investor, who simply holds debt
 This will be appreciated through simple illustration. If the borrowed $2OOOOOO and bought million bushels of wheat at $ bushel it will make quite difference in the dchae the debt whether wheat remains drops to S In the latter it would take two million bush els pay the obligation and the drain upon labor land and the like would be double This would against the wheat producer unless he held enough debt to equaze his interest
 The is not the only of high prices The auto mobile is factor in the direct extent to which used without productive unpoductive thing which add to their
 The present conditions, generally speaking, working out better for the and the distributors of goods Those who fix prices can take of themselves Strongly organized labor take of ef though not convent ently well.
 The investing those on incomes proceeds of trust funds fixed salaries and being slowly and badly squeezed
 The income graduated until it takes per of above million dollars already shows its effect in the circumstance that these incomes heavily within a single year.

SELECTING JURY
 TO TRY CHICAGO RAGE WAR CASES

Chicago, Aug. After the calmest night in the black belt' for more than a week, the work was begun to- day of selecting a grand jury before which will come the cases of white men and negroes accused of partici- patton in the race riots which caused the death of 20 negroes and 1 3 whites and the injury of hundreds.
 The coroner has fixed the number of dead at B and the city health com missioner has found that 306 people injured in the riots were treated in hospitals. He expressed the opinion, however, that perhaps 400 or more who were injured in the riots never reported at hospitals, and conse- quently the total number of injured will never be known officially.
 The state troops had little to do during the night in the riot zone, but much excitement was caused early today by persistent reports telephon- ed into headquarters of the Second regiment, that a crowd of 5S0 men was gathering at South Ashland ave- nue and West 59th street. When company of troops reached the scene the crowd had vanished and the sol- diers returned to Headquarters.

Alcohol is generally supposed to nave little hold in China, owing to the greater lure of the opium habit. Yet the Chinese have been familiar with alcohol from the earliest periods.
 The most notable Chinese tippler was probably u Pc, who lived from 705 to 762, and is sometimes regarded as the greatest poet that China has produced. He was 37 years of age when he was first presented to the Emperor and he made such an impress siou that the ruler prepared with his own hands a bowl of soup for the poet.
 Soup unfortunately was not Ii Pos favorite beverage. He greatly pre- ferred wine and contemporary ac- counts say that he was seldom sober and that he wrote most of his poetry while intoxicated. On one occasion, when messengers were sent out by the Emperor to find him, he was lying face down in the street. Cold water was mopped over him and he was fin ally led into the royal presence. AL though he could hardly stand. his genius. did not fail him. A lady of the seraglio held his ink-well and he

ENCLAkD'S FIRST DEMOCRAT WAS
 DE'MONTF0R7

The first great Democrat of Eng land was Simon de Montfort Earl of Leicester, who was slain in battle 65 f years ago today, August 4, 1265 As a leader of the great rebellious bar ons, Simon de Montfort was also the spokesman of the nobles to stand be- tween the people and the monarch as guardians of their liberties, to watch over the exercise of the royal power and under the command of de Montfort, completely defeated the King and the royalist party. In the battle of Evesham on August 4th of the following year the tables were turned, and the democratic earl was killed and the barons sustained a ruin ous defeat. During the brief period Of Simon's ascendancy, however, he had laid the foundation for the House of Commons and had inspired into the breasts of the people a devotion to liberty and democracy never to be stamped out by royal oppression. Every king is ruled by the laws,' de- clared Simon de Montfort. and he held that the generality should have a hand in the making of the laws by which they as well as the monarch, were to be governed

threatened with death all members o1 gatherings where liquor flowed too freely.
 Coming down to the age of Confu- cius, who lived in the fifth century B. C., we find many n1axims about drink ing. The great sage of China ate and drank sparingly but he did not prac- tice total abstinence. He was careful. however, never to drink enough to disturb his understanding" Be not given to excess in the use of wine" is one of his adages.
 With the adoption of Buddhism, a temperance wave swept over China as Buddha taught absolute abstinence from intoxicating liquors. Today the Chinese are a sober people, but the best authorities seem to agree that there is more drinking in tho country than most foreigners realize. The na- tives prefer, as they have since time immemorial. wine made from rice. Grapes have never been grown to any great extent in China, but nearly ev- cry rice-grower turns small part of his produce into wine. This is some times very delicately perfumed with certain fruits and buds and the se- crets of making these rare varieties are very jealously guarded.

MAY kNN|HILATE FINAL REMAINS OF CIVILIZATION Henderson Predicts Terrible Spasm of Rage and
 Despair. WANTS PEACE PACT
 GIVEN REVISION Macdonald Condemns Sup port of Admiral
 Ko1chok.

Iucerne, Switzerland Sunday, Aug. 3.---iBefore winter sets in there will be "a terrible spasm of rage and de- spafr among the people of Europe in
 which the final remains of civiliza-
 ton may be totally annihila ted,' it
 was predicted by Arthur Henderson, the British Labor leader, at the open
 ing session of the international social iStS' conference here yesterday. The remarks of MT Henderson, who
 was the principal British labor leader
 present. followed those of Otto Wells. of the majority element of the Ger
 man socialists, who declared that the German working men expected from the socialists the creat ton of a real League of Nations. He characterized
 the League organized in Paris, with out Germany and Russia, as members, as mere pleasantly
 In alluding to the peace treaty dur
 ing his address, MT. Henderson de- to be subjetce5i to immediate and thorough revision.
 Condemnation of support of Ad- n1iral Kolchak, head of the All-Rus- sian government at Omsk, by the Entente nations, was expressed by James Ramsay Mcdonald, of the Rrftfsch delegation, and Marcel Cachin, the French socialist leader Both the speakers demanded that an energetic attitude be adopted by the socialists toward these nations par ticularly on this ground.
 Emil vandervelde the Belgian so- cialist, gave his opinion that 1t would be impossible to reconstitute the in ternational socialist organ until the question of war responsibilities was settled. He further declared that in
 his view it would be impossible to merge the Second and Third inter-
 national organizations for the reason for while the Second aimed at a rev. olutfon by the majority element among the peoples in conformity with democratic principles, the third
 was for immediate revolution by the minority.

dashed off some of his best verses. They were so much liked by the Elm peror that he made Li TO a high court official and some of the mandarins were ordered to attend on him and re- move his boots when he desired this done
 This naturally stirred up many feuds in the court and Ii Pc was finally compelled to seek elsewhere for a pleasanter place in which to live. With some other slaves to wine, he formed a drinking club which was called The Eight Immortals of the Wine-cup." He met his death in a novel manner. One night while intoxicated, he leaned over the edge of boat in a vain attempt to embrace the reflection of the moon in the water. He lost his balance and was drowned
 Long before Il Pc lived and died, however, the Chinese had discovered wine. As long ago as the year 1116 B. C., an imperial edict was issued warning the people that drunk enness was becoming too common. Even one Of the emperors had been so given to immoderate drinking that the vice had brought ruin upon him. The edict does not seem to have attempted the enforcement of prohibition. but it

Processes Are Tauofft.

The decision of one of New York's retail stores to install merchandise laboratory in which materials and workmanship were to be tested has shown such good results that, accord ing to d representative of the store, the iuca will probably be followed by other stores. Not only are the buy CTS riesent when tests are made, but the sales persons in the department Landing the goods examined are also witnesses of the tests and the audi ence at the lecture accompanying the experiments. In this way the sales people are acquainted with the proc esses used in manufacturing and are given an intelligent idea of the mer- chandise they are selling. This has increased their interest in the mer- cLandise and consequently, it has Teen found, had very good results in placing their salesmanship on q high CT plane.
