Reduction in Cost of CivinQ.

During the war the cost of living Las risen at least seventy-five per cent. above the level of 1913. Some check has been placed upon the upward trend by government fixing of prices in the case of bread and coal and a few other commodities. Even if we believe it de- sirable we cannot ask that the govern ment continue this action after the ar ticles of peace have been signed, for neither public opinion nor Congress is ready for such Il revolutionary policy If the eXtOrtionate practices of monop- oily were prevented by adequate laws and adequate law enforcement prices would automatically be kept at as low level as that to which they might be brought by direct government determi- nation. Just what laws lr~addition to those already on the statute books are necessary to abolish monep0llstic ex- tortfon is a question of detail that need not be considered here. In pass ing, It may be noted that government competition with monOpolies that can not be effectively restrained hy the or dinary antitrust laws deserves more serious consideration than il has yet received.

Cooperative Stores.

More important and more effective than any government regulation of prices would be the establishment of cooperative stores. The enormous toll taken from industry by the various classes of middlemen is now fully real ized. The astonishing difference be- tween the price received by the pro- ducer and that paid by the consumer has become q scandal to our industrial system. The obvious and direct means of reducing this discrepancy and abol- ishing unnecessary middlemen is the operation of retail and wholesale mer- cantile concerns under the ownership and management of the consumers This Is no Utopian scheme It has been successfully carried out in Eng land and Scotland through the Koch dale system. Very few serious efforts of this kind have been made in this country because our people have not felt the need of these cooperative en- terprises as keenly as the European working classes and because we have been too impatient and too Individual istic to make the necessary sacrifices and to be content with moderate bene- fits and gradual progress Neverthe- less our superior energy, initiative and commercial capacity will enable us once We set about the task earnestly even to surpass what has been done In England and Scotland
 Train to Habits of Saving.
 Tn addition to reducing the cost of living, the cooperative stores would train our working people and con- sumerS generally in habits Of saving, in careful expenditure, in business meth ods and in the capacity for eo-opera- tion. When the working classes have learned to make the sacrifices and to exercise the patience required by the ownership and operation of eo-opera- tive stores they will be equipped to un- dertake a great variety of tasks and projects which benefit the community immediately and all its constituent members ultimately. They will then realize the folly of excessive selfish ness and senseless individualism. Until they have acquired this knowledge. training and capacity, desirable exten- sions of governmental action in indus try will not be attended by q normal amount of success. No machinery of government can operate automatically, and no official and bureaucratic admin istration of such machinery can ever be a substitute for intelligent interest and cooperation by the individuals of the community.
 Ultimate Reforms.

and vivid portrayal of the extreme

ton of the Jewish residents of the

Minneapolis Lodge Host on Sunday.
Sunday afternoon and evening
was set aside to give Minneapolis
the opportunity of having the Dele
gates and visitors as their guests,
and it must be said that the spirit of
the Minneapolis members who came
over to St. Paul in fifty automobiles
to show the visitors what Mime
apolis hospitality was, can only be
realized by those who were present,
to see with their own eyes, the kind
of hospitality that was shown.

was served to a crowd of several
hundred, at the expense of Mime

Abe Karatz, President of Mime

of Minneapolis to the visitors, and
called upon Ado1ph Kraus, DR.. Har-
ry Kraus and Judge Philip Stein for
few remarks, to which they re-
sponded in glowing appreciation of

not be said for the efforts of the Min

St. Paul members. The messages
of welcome were responded to by
the President of the District, Mr..

pointed, and upon their report, the
delegates were seated, after which
the President, Mr.. Frankel, read his
Presidents Address, reviewing the
work of the previous year, and the
work necessitated for the coming
year.
Upon the conclusion of his adj
dress, A. B. Seelenfreund, Secretary
of the Grand Lodge, in appreciation
of the faithful and untiring services
rendered by the retiring president;
presented upon behalf of the mem
bers of the District, to Mr.. and Mrs.

The presentation by the District
was not to Guido his St. Paul adj

Various matters of business were
then attended to, among which came
a discussion on the right of men,

delegate of another. This is called
attention to, only that the writer
may comment upon the talented ar
ray of legal lights who for more
than an hour, in most forceful man
ner, expounded the legal angles of
the situation.
At nine o'clock Sunday morning
the delegates busted themselves with
the important matters before the
Convention. Before the roll call,
President of the Order, Adolph
Kraus, was called to the platform,
and in very interesting manner de-
tailed to the members present, the
course of the conversation held be-

the President of the United States
upon behalf of the Bnai Birth, with
reference to the demand of the Jew

Aged Negro Is
Victim Of Mob

ATLANTA, Ca, July 25.-Bcrry
Washington, 72-year-old negro, was
lynched near Milan, Ga, May 26, af-
ter killing a white woman in defense
Of negro women, it is declared in a
lengthy account of the affair which
the Atlanta Constitution publishes to-
day,
The lynching in the little Georgia
town of Telfair county did not be-
come generally known at the time
and, according to the Constitutions
version, officials at McCrac said at
the time that they wished to keep the
affair out of print in order not to
hamper their roundup Of the lynch
erc. So far as this account shows,
there have been no arrests.
The night of May "a, the account
says, two white men went into the
negro section and began "cursing and
disturbing the negroes who were in
their homes" In an exchange of
shots with Washington, one was kill
ed. The negro surrendered and two
days later was taken from pail at Nc
Crae nearby, brought to Milan and
hanged to a post and his body shot to
pieces.

Red Cross Keeps Up
Home Service Work

A report issued recently on Home
Service of the American Red Cross
shows that 3S6,673 families of SOL
diers and sailors still are being as
sisted through this organization. The
service is in touch with more than
100000 families.
Grants and loans of money aggre-
eating $5666,O63.75 were made in
one month recently. While this is but
a comparatively small part of Home
Service, money relief in the past four
teen months has totalled $6,836,760.
This money is taken from the Red
Cross chapter trca9uries maintained
from the chapters portion of mem
bership dues and war funds.
During the war Home Service cases
ran as high as 100000 at one time.
Engaged in this work were more than
10000 Home Service workers, $4,000
Of whom were volunteers. In addition
to the experienced social workers,
more than 1900 persons were trained
in the Home Service institutes main
tained by the Red Cross throughout
the country. Of the 3,700 chapters
engaged in this work 10000 were in
communities with a population of less
than 5000.
1t had been decided that as the
need for Home Service with the fam
lies of soldiers and sailors decreases
chapters may undertake work with
other families where the field is not
already covered by other social agen-
cies. The Red Cross will not seek to
perpetuate Home Service as an inte-
gral part of its organization, but will
leave each chapter free to establish it
Independently of the Red Cross at any
time it seems advisable.

Enthusiastic Crowd
AT Burley Meeting
Park Question Was Taken Up
and Committee Is Now AT
Work Formulating Plans
of Purchase.

While not as large as it should
have been, it was most enthusiastic il
crowd of citizens that gathered al
the court house last night to discuss
the proposed park movement for
Greeneville.
Several different plans were sug-
gested as a means for raising funds
with which to purchase the park
grounds, but all seemed to agree tkat
the most feasible plan would be to
organize the Greene County Memo
rial Association, dedicating the park
to the soldier boys of Greene county.
The following committee was APP
pointed to look into the matter, So
licit funds locally and report at a
meeting to be held in the court house
next Tuesday night :-Chas. w. AL
len, Chairman; ]. E. Biddle, N. T.
Howard, Col. j. ]. Mitchell and W.
G. Waddell.
With the committee named above
actively at work on the movement, we
don't believe there will be any trouble
to carry out any plans that they may
offer. If any member of this COM
mittee approaches you on the park
question, feel free to express to him
the way you feel about it. The
crowd Thursday evening was unani-
nous in their support of the PROPOSE
tion. 1t is not believed there will de-
velop any great opposition to the plan
as will be outlined.

Raiders Clash
With Moonshiners

CLEVELAND, Tenn, July 25.-
A pitched battle, details of which are
not obtainable, occurred between rev.
enue men and moonshiners in the fast
nesses of White Oak mountain eight
or ten miles west of this city Wednes-
day. About all the information that
can be obtained at present is that a
large number of shots were exchang-
ed and that blood was split on both
sides of the battle line. The first in
timation of the melee was obtained
here when Fl. L. Burns, deputy sher-
iff and we'll known raider, returned
to the city from "a raid" bearing on
his clothing bloodstains of a suspi-
cious looking character.
At first no amount of pumping"
would induce him to talk, but later he
admitted that the officers and revenu-
ers had been into a fight and that one
or more persons had been wounded.
He stated that the raiders had agreed
to keep mum until report was had
from the enemy" who, as Mr.. Burns
intimated, must have had the worst
of the conflict.
It has ben rumoreG ;hat one of the
moonshiners was seen to drop during
the firing and later to crawl or scram-
BILE away into the thicket. Mr.. Burns
shirt is believed to have been derived
from slight wound sustained by one
of the raiding party. 1t seems that
after the fight the raiders made their
way to Ooltewah, where the officers
boarded the train for their respective
homes, with the exception of Burns,
who was driving his car and came on
to Cleveland alone.
