PALMER SEES
DROP IN HIGH
LIVING COSTS

Attorney General Palmer made a
report to the public Monday night
upon the progress the government
had accomplished in the fight against
the enormous cost of living. This
report was authorized at a meeting last
Saturday of heads of the various gov
eminent departments, which have en-
tered into a campaign against living
costs.
In his report Mr.. Palmer states that
a drop In the cost of living may be
expected Jan. / and March 1, as in
dicated by the history Of retail food
prices. He adds that he hopes the
work of the department of justice
will accelerate this downward move
ment
Futher on in the report he states
the profiteering amendments he
asked to the Lever act did not become
effective until Oct. %, and then pro-
ceeds to state the details of the prose
cution conducted under these legal
changes.
Shoe anu clothing dealers, according
to the report, have shown desire to
check profiteering and have taken
steps to do so.
The statement was considered in
some quarters as summary Of the
governments position in the face of
the recent renewed demands of rail
road workers tor an increase. The rail
road shopmen publicly, and the other
railroad crafts tacity, agreed in a i,
gust with the suggestion of President
Wilson to postpone their demands <'r
increased pay for ninety days to await
efforts of the government to bring
down prices.
In August" said the attorney gen
erals statement, sin connection with
demands for increased wages by rail-
road shopmen based on the increased
cost OF living, the president announced
to the public the view that the cost Of
living would be lowered os soon as
there were settled condition Of pro-
.duction and Of commerce, as soon as
the treaty of peace was ratified and as
soon as merchants, manufacturers,
farmers and miners had a certain basis
of calculation.

The Nazarene gave to the world
the religion which commands us TO

years ago than our modern band OF
theological hair splittersa
How remarkably simple is, the In
junction just to love one another.
What folly that this wonderful doc
trlne should be made by It's keepers
to give way to Useless controversies
On silly creeds! What tremendous
wrong to humanity to rob II of thar
rellglon which is so simple and nat
urai that even dogs and horses under
stand 1t, and leave in it's stead tons
and tons of theological piffle which il
just as uncOmprehensible and absurd
as the dogmas and rites Of junglelandt
deep down in the heart of every man
tnat lves is that religion of the Man
or Galllee, for brotherly love is uni.
versal, If denominationalism would
only give it chance.

OF are undermining Christianity and
civilization itself, by filling the minds
OF our youth SO full OF what the animal
instinct calls for that they are for
getting the things that make for q
vital Christianity and the best civiliza-
ton.
b It is time our churches rose above
catering to popularity and public
opinion and prepare to grasp these
problems that are destroying humanity
early enough in their progress, SO
that prevention rather than cure may
be the means used to check them.
We have Gods word for 10 that the
spiritual. obedient church, shan never
fail. But what will become of the
church that is afraid to grasp these
moral problems in their infancy ano
allows conditions to exist and grow
without any public condemnation. God
