SEES NO HOPE FOR
SPEEDY H. C.L. CUT
Dr.. Meeker Gives Three Rea-
sons, Says Rapid Decline
Should Not Be Sought.

The cost of living will not be ma
terially reduced until currency infla
ton is curtailed.
When people spend 50 for an article
worth 81 there will always be high
prices.
Cntil the national debt is reduced,
there will be no noticeable deprecia-
ton in prices.
These statements were made TO-DAY
by DR.. Royal Meeker, commissioner OF
labor statistics, in support of the gov
ernment's campaign to bring down liv-
ing costs. DIR. Mceker said that in his
opinion. however, there should be no
attempt, for the present at least, to
bring down prices. There should be,
a vigorous attempt made, he said,
bearing out the statement of Attorney
General Palmer that there had been
no increase in prices since last August,
to maintain living cost at the present
scale. Any attempt at great reduction
will bring a blow at the whole struc-
ture of business and possibly a panic
will follow. He said an attempt to
bring down living costs at present
would necessarily entail reductions in
wages and that these might cause in
dustrial strife and possibly a panic.

FORGOT THE POSTSCRIPT

Ex-senator Bourne says: What
this country needs, and what every
country needs. is encouragement of
individual initiative. We should en-
courage every nan to put forth the
best effort there is in him and assure
him a reasonable reward for success.
Under government ownership and
operation the tendency is to discour-
age individual enterprise; for. as We
have seen in the recent past, partisan
prejudice controls advancement ex-
cept where an outraged public forces
recognition of ability"
What the ex-senator forgot to add
for the information Of the public as
to the motive for his speech, is that
by his apparently fair remarks he is
advancing the propaganda of a GER
tain aggregation of monopolists who
have a nice little way of gobbling all
the fruits of the best efforts which
the little fellow puts forth. And the
monopolists do this under protection
of laws which they have bought and
paid for.

SET. EN- UP-ACAIN
JAG FOR AN indian

The fellow who made the remark
that Nevada went hone-dry Deem
Der II" has another remark coming.
The next day after the law went into
effect Constable Phelps arrested an
Indian who had a genuine set-'em-up-
again jag aboard. Nh. Indian was
escorted to Jail by the benevolent off,
cial and allowed to sleep off the eff
reefs of the forbidden firewater. AT
the Jail a search was made and a pint
flask of whisky was found in the In
dams pocket.
Next day the unmerciful official
placed his victim in the sweatbox.
No use! He gave him the third de-
gree, and nothing doing. He would
not divulge where he got the booze.
He was turned loose and told to sin
n 10 more, or he would have to work
oil the roads.
Yesterday afternoon the constable
met an Indian on the street with a
blanket under his arm. On being
asked by the constable what he had
in the blanket, the Indian replied,
Nothing" but on handing the blan-
ket to the officer a bottle of whisky
fell to the sidewalk and was broken
and the evidence flowed away. The
Indian is now in Jail.
Some n had better be very care
full or they will come to grief.-lThe

Escapes From Protectory and From
Officers Who Arrested him.

Alexander Buchas, a fourteen-year-

After fleeing from Spring City the boy
was started for Pottsville and although

to wriggle away. He also escaped
when arrested again. When finally
captured 1t was necessary not only to
handcuff him but TO tie him with ropes.
1t is believed an operation on his brain
will be necessary to rid him of GRIM
