Congressional commissions, mayors
of municipalities and all sorts of or
ganizations are making Investigations
to determine why, in these times Of
plenty, the prices of the necessaries
of life have reached almost prohibi-
tive altitude and are still climbing
higher. There should be no necessity
for extensive inquiries. The reason
for price manipulations is as plain as
a twin boil on the nose of a prohibi-
tionist-the profteers; and no diff

every one of them to earth and jail

In refusing citizenship papers to
August Thorin and Carl Gunnar john
son upon their admission that they had
claimed military exemption on the
grounds that they had only taken out
their first papers, Judge Booth of Min
neapolis is entitled to commendation.
In passing upon the application the
judge said: "Your declaration of in
tention to become citizens meant you
intended to assume the full duties of
citizenship but your actions belied
your declaration. You therefore are
not entitled to citizenship" Judge
Booth has set an excellent example fo1
other judges of the country.

The attorney general Of the United
States has designated Isador ,Kresel,
a Hebrew, to prosecute the five big

to drop other work and proceed to
hunt down profteers, hoarders and the

their share to uphold and advance the
prevailing extortionate living prices.

It has been discovered that there is
at least one man in the country who
refused to be taxdodger even when
given an opportunity. He is Samuel
Harris of Chicago. His property was
assessed at $1,395, but Sam would
not. stand for it. He went to the board
of review, told that body the assessor
had lied about him, and insisted on
paying $555, 900 in taxes. Do you sup
pose Jack Rockefeller would have done
likewise? .-.:..<..-...-.

Here is one way in which the Brit
ish government is aiding in keeping
down the high cost Of living. It is
spending $25o,ooo,ooO a. year in sub
sidy to the millers. This subsidy,
through helping the millers defray the
cost of production, enables bakers to
sell four one-pound loaves of bread
for 25 cents. The government fixes
the prices of bread, sugar and meat
but not of wheat in consequence OF
the heavy import duties. Were the
United States to fix the prices OF
bread, sugar and meat it seems to us
it would be step in the direction OF
abolishing profteering.

Complaints having been made to
the Chicago board of aldermen that
indecent bathing suits were being
worn at the beaches, the old boys took
a couple of days off and sailed forth
to see for themselves. It was their
unanimous opinion that, although
some of the costumes were perhaps a
quarter of yard too short, none of
them came within the indecency cate

1t is evident that General Pershing
does not fear microbes which congre-

in France, he kissed a score of mad

ever, that he applied his lips TO those
of the latter-merely smacked them
on the cheeks, perhaps. With the

FILLS VACANCY
in POSTOFFICE
Business Experience and Not
Ability to Pass Severe Educa-

washington, Sept 1S.-Announce
ment will be made by the United
States civil service commission prob
ably within the next two days, that
applications for appointment as post
master at Pensacola, Florida, to sue
ceed Benjamin Hancock, are desired
and will be received until Tuesday,
October %.
The statement made in these dis
patches over a month ago that POST
master Hancock would not be re-
appointed and might as well resign
to save himself and the department
embarrassment, although doubted By
Hancock, has been fully confirmed in
letter sent Postmaster Hancock by
the department and in statement
made by postoffice department Officials
here on several occasions.
The new postmaster for Pensacola
will not be selected through a com
petitive educational test held on a
fixed date as is done in the case of
postoffices where the salary is below
81, 400 per annum. In those cases the
best educated applicant usually OBJ
tains the position by making the
highest per centage in the educational
test
The postmaster for Pensacola will
be selected in the following manner:
Every person desiring the position
should file application for examina-
tion with the civil service commission
here in Washington. He viii then be
furnished examination papers TO fill
out and send in. These papers may
also be obtained. or should be obtain
able, from Postmaster Hancock
These examination papers ask
numerous questions in regard to the
education, business training and ex-
perience of the applicant. They must
be accompanied by an unmounted
photograph of the applicant taken
within two years.
As former business training and ex-
perience of the applicant are consid-
cred much more important than his
educational fitness The civil service
commission gives rating of 80 per
cent of a possible 100 for business
training and experience, and only 20
per cent on education, making the for
mer four times as important as the
latter.
The civil service commission will
receive. applications and examination
papers up TO October 2Sth, when the
lists will be closed and the papers ex-
amined and rated.

Pittsburg- Sept. 1s.-The steel work
ers' conference adjourned tonight with
an announcement by Chairman Fitz-
patrick that plans had been made not
to make the steel strike effective be-
ginning Monday. out of Difference to
President Wilson who asked a post
ponement. The commit considered a
motion to defer the strike until after
the industrial conference but it was
defeated, then the motion carried to
re-affirm the strike order.
The committee issued a statement
that, having failed to obtain a confer
ence with the United States Steel Cor
poration. the last and only hope is to
strike until such time as the corpora
ton will meet the representatives of
the men.
The statement. signed by the steel
workers committee cites the efforts
of the committee to confer with Judge
Gary who denied their authority to
represent the great body of employees
and says the only way to convince
him is to cease work until the corpora
ton agrees to meet their representa-
tives. This, the employees have de-
cided to do On Monday morning, Sep
tember 22," says the statement.
1T is unfortunate that the employees
are compelled to resort to a strike in
order to prove the authority of their
selected representatives to present their
grievances. But as there s no other
way, the proof, in the form of strike
will effectually remove all doubt in
Judge Cary's mind.
In the second place. Judge Gary
sets up the question OF the closed shop
which has absolutely no basis whatso-
ever in the present controversy. 1t is
simply dragged in here by Judge Gary
as a bugaboo to becloud- the real is
sue.
There is one and only one question
at issue and that is the question of a
conference The employees have ex-
| hausted every avenue of approach tc
the corporation for the purpose of Sc
curing a conference and every avenue
/, has been closed to them. Their las
and only hope is to strike and now the
/ employees declare that they will cease
work on next Monday morning unit
such time as the corporation will NEE
their representatives in conference fol
the purpose of establishing humane ani
reasonable methods of dealing with the
very vital problems which affect theil
lives, their homes. and their future"
