200 per cent in the prices of labor and woolens
within the last three years, with prospects of still
greater advances within the near future"
Tailors in New York who will charge like this
have probably been getting from $50 to $500
for suit heretofore. They the sort who
have customers who will pay anything to be
srnartly clad. We get little more insight into
the price-boosting game little further along IN
the interview The tailor continues:
THE price does not seem to interfere In the
slightest with those seeking good clothes. If a
man has money in his pocket he will pay almost
any price asked for a suit rather than place him
self in the position of being cheap by arguing
about it,
There we have the psychology Of the matter
in nutshell. This is period of initiation, and
many have money. A good part of the stagger-
ing increase in the prices of things may be due
to the discovery that men will be mulcted rather
than let tailor make them look Cheap. New
York has always been easy for dealers catering
to the smart" trade in the Broadway and Fifth
avenue districts, but the rest of the country is
not yet so greatly affced with the sort of vanity
that makes men willing to throw away their
money in order to keep in countenance before a
tailor.
1t is true that prices of material and labor
to put on the extreme New York idea, they may
find that we will all take to the neat and nifty
Kampus Kut Klothes of the ready-made dealer,
who has customers more interested in making
ends meet than in being smart.

Our Mexican Problem

The renewal of the British and French de-
inands that the United States take hold in Next
co and do something toward bringing quiet and
solvency to that country, together with intima-
tons that Italy also will voice formal complaint
regarding the conduct of our southern neighbor
indicate that the government must determine
at an early date upon some settled policy toward
Mexico. The entire question was coming to a
focus when the war broke out. 1t was expected
that as soon as hostilities ceased there would be
a reopening of the question of Americas res
possibility toward Mexico under the Monroe
Doctrine
The administration is partly to blame for the
situation which has developed below the Rio
Grande In adopting the attitude of overload it
animated to foreign governments that they must
keep out and trust to the United States for settle
nent. This step has placed America in the role
of agent for all the European governments hav-
ing claims against Mexico. The renewal of Great
Britains demands will be pressed with additional
force because during the interim of war the
British government purchased vast oil holdings
from private interests. While it formerly mani
tested some concern over the property of its citi
zens it is now called upon to protect its own in
vestment.
The fact that Mexico not asked to sub
scribe to the league of nations, presumably at
the request of the American delegation, places
that country in a subordinate light before the
rest of the world and in fact, if not by formal
tion recognizes this country mandatory over
Mexico with all the responsibilities such role in
wolves. Unless conditions improve under Car
ranza's rule the administration outlines de-
finite policy, the European governments may file
claims for damages against u.s.
Throughout the war Mexico was a hotbed of
pro-Germanism and the of many plots
against the allies. Wireless stations were re-
ported as transmitting messages to Germany and
Carranzas official family, confident of German
victory, almost insolent in it's treatment of
allied representatives. This country has just
been informed by archaeologist who has tray
cled throughout Mexico, that President Wilson
has been 'misled" in reports which his nvesti-
gators supplied him. Today the country is over
run with bandits. Carranza now is attempting
to drive all foreign oil operators out of the coun-
try. He either condones or is unable to repress
the continued attacks upon American citizens and
the toll of deaths grows steadily.

The Cost of Clothes

We do not like to believe predictions of

to charge this fall and winter. Already pushed

erage man is going to be tried just little fur

continue to climb. Are all these advances made
necessary by increases in cost of materials and
labor, or are there other influences at work?
A New York newspaper quotes a leading
tailor as follows:
1T does seem preposterous to the average
man to hear that prices like $3.50 for business
suit and SlS5 to 5000 for an overcoat will be
charged within the next few months, but such
is the case. The main cause is the advance of

BUT PRIMARY ELECTION TODAY
EXCITING LITTLE NOTICE
FROM REPUBLICANS
BLACK SEEMS EASY WINNER
Indications That Carrol's Vote VIII
Be Small In This COunty-Gov-
ernoT's Nomination Claimed.

Throughout Kentucky polls will
open at 6 o'clock this morning, and
balloting will continue until a o'clock
in the afternoon.
Practically all interest centers in
the races within the Democratic
ranks, the Republicans having named
a practically complete ticket at their
State Convention in Lexington some
months ago. Of course, they will
have to go through the form of max
ing nominations through the primary,
but in only two instances, except for
minor local races, are there contests
on within Republican ranks. These
are for Attorney General and Rail-
road Commissioner from the second
railroad district.
Chief interest, of course, centers in
the race for the Democratic nomin-
alton for Governor There are three
candidates, Judge John D. Carroll.
New Castle, Chief Justice of the Ken
lucky Court of Appeals; Governor
James D. Black, Barbourville, and ].
P. Noel, Harrodsburg. The last
named is not generally conceded to
have a chance, leaving the race be-
ing between Judge Carroll and Gov
ernor Black. Reports from all Sec
tions favor Black and the Governor
himself claims that he will win by
10000 majority.
In this county the vote will be
light with at least two-thirds of the
votes for Black.
Aside from the contests of local
men, L. E. Foster for Superintendent
of Schools and John c. Duffy for
Railroad Commissioner, but little in
terest is manifested in the other
races, though Shanks seems to be the
favorite for Lieutenant Governor.
