Writers who see in present living
prices condition analogues TO that
following the Civil War rather over
look the fact that present prices are
not essentially q war product but nave
been developing over period OF years
The era of high prices during ana
following the Civil War was directly
product OF that conflict There had
been no upward trend in prices pre-
yious to the outbreak OF hostilities
nor did wholesale prices show any
appreciate upward trend until 1862
more than q year after the war start
ed when they moved upward sharply
until the middle OF 1855 they dropped
most one third of the way back to
the pre-war level following which they
fluctuated considerably for long
time. 1t being we'll into the year 1879
before they we're safely back to pre-
war living.
Retail prices started to rise almost
as soon as war was declared which
would indicate that the present day
prot,teer had his prototype in that
period. They continued TO rise until
1865 after which there was a SOW
and steady decline over a long period
until normal conditions were restored.
The present condition has been de-
veioping for long time. Back IN
1908 II will be remembered that the
upward trend in prices was seriously
discussed and brought the tariff issue
sharply to the fore. The campaign
was fought on that iseue beth parties

to meet increasing costs. At that time
an investigation by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor developed the fact
that there was wide disparity be-
tween wage increases and price in
creases and about that time consis-
tent campaign for higher wages de-
veloped on the part of labor which was
somewhat retarded by large labor
surplus and considerable uncmploy-
ment
This increase in prices was econo'
mically sound. We had begun to
adopt new living standard, our tastes
were becoming more extravagant,
higher classes of merchandise were In

velopment that prices should gradually

DEMPSEY STARS WITH
 GIANT TWO ROUNDS

TOLEDO. May 24.-Jack Dempsey today pursued Manager Jack kearns and Jimmy Deforest, his chief trainer. to give him permission to step two rounds with Billy Tate. his giant negro sparring partner. The challenger cuffed Tate around the outdoor ring to the delight of 400 visitors. It was the first boxing Dempsey had done with his heavyweight partners.
 Dempsey has declined to drop base ball from the training grind. After covering seven and a half miles on the road, the challenger engaged in a game of "one old cat this afternoon. Roger Bresnahan, who owns the Toledo club of the American association, gave Dempsey some discarded gloves and bats.
 Frank O'Flourney, associated with Tex Rickard in promoting the champ ionship battle July 4, received word from Los Angeles that Willard in tended to start for Toledo Monday.
 There will be about 100000 visitors in Toledo on the day Of the battle and hotel men said tonight they would be able to care for only 1000 of them. Vacant buildings and stores will be converted into huge sleeping dormi- tories Six buildings have been leased and 20, 900 cots will be installed in them.
 A huge circus tent also will be erected to provide sleeping accomn'n- dations and hundreds of private fam : lilies have arranged to open their 1 homes to outsiders.

WH|PPLE LINEUP HERE TO BAT 1LE
 WITH WHITE SOX

The Unbeatable" from Fort Whipple arrived in Phoenix last night and are on tiptoes for their game today with he Phoenix White Sox. With only one game lost this season and one last, Captain Van Horn. in charge of athletics at Fort Whipple, stated last evening that the game wouldn't De over at Riverside park this afternoon, until the end of the ninth inning. Man ager Hugh Cass of the local champs. playfully slapped Capt. Horn on the back and told him the game was as good as won for the Sox before the first man came to bat.
 The Sox played the soldiers once be- fore this year at Prescott finding Sapp the service pitcher, a difficult twirler 10 meet. Sapp will pitch for the Yis- itors today and comes to the capital city with both form and grit that bodes a terrific struggle for the Sox- Either Heflin or Mays will pitch for the locals with others ready to step in the first moment the break seems to be going against them.
 Lineups Look Fit
 The Fort Whipple lineup as an- uounced last night by Capt. Van Horn Is as follows: Stewart 1b; Smith ss; Kelly 2b; Moore c; Sapp p; Mahoney If; Yates 3b; Schliesman Of; Wallin If. Diskin and Gallager are subs1- tutes.
 The Sox players are: Bagley cf; NJ Cappo 3b; F. Westfall If; H. Westfall c; Lyau ss; Gilland If; I. Cappo 2b; Warren lib; Heflin or Mays, p.
 Price will umpire the game and if two umpires are required, another is in mind, formerly handling the indi- cator for the Southern league and one time short stop on the Detroit Ameri- cans. It is to be arranged and under stood that the umpiring today will be unimpeded by ground arguments and the men chosen for this work will be in full authority to discipline the players, should that become necessary.
 The game will start promptly at o'clock, to cable the soldiers to catch the train back to Prescott this even ing. The spirited contest between the two teams promises a large crowd and an interesting game. Many fans look upon this as the best scheduled one o1 the season thus far.

neither smiled nor looked.
