ERNEST MORRIS INDICATED
The Denver Post" Apologies for
Statements Made Against His
Loyalty and Patriotism.

The Denver Post. i'm last Sundays
issue, retracts the charges made
year ago against Ernest Morris. the
well known attorney, at that time
chairman of the County Council of De-
Tense. The Post admits that the
charges made were unfOunded and un
warranted Mr.. Morris instituted II
suit for libel and twenty-three promi'
nent attorneys of the city volunteered
their services in his behalf.
In its lengthy apology the Post says ::
"Since the legal battles over the
pleadings in court the prOprietOrs OF
The Post have had ample time to re-
fleet over the whole controversy. and
TO consider the matter from n dfspas,
no one an injustice. they therefore
some days since, went to Mr.. Morris
to learn whether he would meet the
Post halfway, in IaT settlement Of the.
controversy. They We're glad to find
|tthat all Mr.. Morris personally wanted
| In his litigation was vindication o..
his character and patriotism. Inquiry
also developed the fact that Mr.. Nor
ris' attorneys stood upon the same
high plane, all of them saying that
they had entered into the litigation
simply to do what they thought was
public service Land that no meney'
could be paid to them for their serv-
ices. With knowledge of these facts
sthe proprietors of the Post have
reached the conclusion that the Post
has no right to longer continue a con-
troversy which will distract and dis
turb a now peaceful community and
cause and perpetuate unnecessary and
bitter personal feuds. They have there
fore voluntarily made the offer to pub
lish complete vindication of Mr..
Norris character and pay the costs OF
litigation"
Those members of the community
who know Mr. Morris. know that his
private. public or professional char
acter and standing and patriotism
needed no vindication. Nevertheless,
the Jewish News is glad to know that
an amicable settlement has been
reached. creditable to all parties.

Detroit Free Press: 1t Is with keen.
est regret that the devoted admirers
of Sherlock Holmes learn Of his
passing for the second time Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle has announced,
II am entirely immersed in psychic
work and likely to remain So" His
publishers take this to mean his re-
tirement from literary labors, and il
this proves the case there will be no
more of the, great detective and his
friend, DR.. Watson; no more excur-
sions, no more stories like "a Study
in Scarlet" 1.-THE Scandal in Bohe
mia" THE Speckled Band" or The
Sign OF the Four" Once before the
reading public was deprived of Sher-
lock Holmes by his tragic death, but
such protest arose that DIR. Doyle
was induced to bring him back" to
solve more mysteries-remindin of
the clamor that forced Kipling to re-
write and give happier termination
to "The Light That Failed" And it
may be that Conan Doyle will still
find time to turn from his delving in
spiritualism to continue the adven-
lures Of his Baker street favorite.

sionally in some well ordered
community a dog will bite a
child and Immediately the cry OF
mad dog" is raised, until every
canine for miles around Is under
suspicion and every dog at large
is supposed TO be mad. The cry
of proffteering has been raised
until every one engaged In busl-
ness is suspected and every poll
tician, large or small. VINO may
by any stretch of imagination
have authority in the matter is
running around in circles ana
shouting himself hoarse. Inves-
legations are being multiplied.
Governors are talking OF calling
legislatures in speciar session,
district attorneys and grand
juries are hunting for evidence,
and even the president OF the
United States is taking a hand
in it. All of this has been NOV
ing at high speed for the past
two weeks, with the net result
that an obscure little grocer
somewhere up the state has been
fined FIVE hundred dollars Tor
selling sugar at fifteen cents,
which probably cost him more
than he was supposed to sell at.
and two or three lots OF butter
and eggs and coffee have been
seized, which may have 10 be re-
leased when the merits Of the
case are tried.
All food in storage warehouses
is under suspicion and 1t would
not be in the least surprising IL
an attempt were made to force
sales of food at this time which
will be sorely needed during the
winter. The secret service men
are supposed to be investigating
the storage warehouses and I'M
doubtedly all the large institu.

time to come with Investigators,

not enough. Mayor Hylan has
ordered the fire department to
make a separate investigation,
ostensibly to see il the fire laws

ing boarded supplies.
This, of course, is an absurdiry.

they will be unable to teri which

formation is, Of course, readilys

inconceivable that such records
can have been falsifled to suit
the occasion. The warehouse

pussyfooting around, hunting for
something they would NOT recos-
nize If they found 1t.
Still another absurdity Is the
proposition to mark goods with
the prices paid for them when
they go In, so that wnen they
come out it will be known
whether any profiteerfng is going
on. Those who are sponsors for
this proposition have nothing TO
say about making allowance for
the cost of the storage, insur-
ance, waste, interest on notes,
carriage, clerk hire, spoilage or
the dozen other items mat have
to be allowed for between the
wholesale cost prices and the re.
tail selling price. No allowance
IS to be made, for Instance. for
the Gambling, and repacking OF
eggs.
If many Of these drastic propo-
sitions are carried out 1t will re-
suit in many food distributing
firms going out of business, for
it will be impossible for them to
make money under the condi-
lions being prescribed. Profiteer.
ing is reprehensible and should
be punished. 1t undoubtedly
exists to certain extent, but
until the underlying causes OF
the high cost of living are
reached through the operation OF
natural laws no real Keller can,
be expected.

niably, one trouble and the greatest
trouble is that we did not put away
for the rainy day. Constantly when
wages were high Few years ago
we were admonished to save little
day, to put our money in Liberty
bonds and in savings stamps: to live
as we had been accustomed to live
and save. We were told by many
authorities that after the war we
would need the money we jhad a
chance to accumulate. But how
many of us did It! We see foreign
ers leaving the country carrying
back to the fatherland or mother
land. an average of $4,000 each.
Where is our $4,000 each? Yet, II
the foreigner could gain that much,
why not we? Admittedly they lived
cheaper than we did. But, being
employed at common labor, they did
not get near the amount for labor
that we did. The fact is that as our
wages increased we went right off
buying things that we hau ronged for
but could never attain. With the
cash in our pocket, we cared little
what thing cost; we only knew we
wanted it, and had long wanted it..

AN AGE-oLD CONTROVERSY,

On what tenable theory, in these days of sex
equality, should man-made laws dictate the at
tire in which women shall enter the ocean while
side dress? A Mrs. Harrison, Of Washington,
d. c.. powerful prOtagonist of her sex, is bit
terly resentful that stockingless women are
barred from the New York and New jersey
beaches while uncomely males, bowlegged often
lznobby -limbed and with torsos the shape of a
pear are permitted to strut the sands in scanty
little scraps of bathing suits which do not cover
their unsightly frames There was no such dis
elimination as this when tailoring came first in
to fashion, but later as man assumed the right
to run this sin-cursed world according to his
own ideas he prescribed what women should
wear He made them his slaves, his satellites,
his chattels to be exploited he penned them I'D
in compounds; he made them 90 suffocatinglv
CARRIED and yelled whenever they were allowed
to leave the matrimonial corral And he still
prescribes what they shall wear, while claiming
the right he has never relinquished Of wearing
as much or as little as he will.
Manifestly, as Mrs. Harrison and many an
other clear-visioned woman has pointed out.
this assumption of authority over an equal CO.
ordinate half of the human family is autocratic
and indefensible. Man as he garbs himself up-
on the beaches is an aesthetically obnoxious OBJ
ject, He has no beauty lines. He mars the
landscape He jars a cultivated taste. It is he

PAVING for ProhibItIon.


Washington Post: New York and
Chicago hotels are now charging
more for rooms because they have
lost their bar.room revenues with
the coming of prohibition. ANY ex-
cuse is good for an ADVANCE in
prices for goods or services these
days. On the other hand, nothing
jushfles a decrease. We do not re-
duced room or table rates curing the
war, when their service became a
joke. Herbert Hoover and his organ
ization reduced the number OF dishes
and the amount OF each mat hotel
restaurant could serve. which they
served at the same old price, and
almost abolished butter, sugar and
white bread. The hotels boosted In
placards everywhere that they OBJ
served all the rules OF the food adj.
ministration. OF course they did,
and complained that there weren't
more of the same kind. Now, be.
cause they can't stay in the booze
business, they propose to make hotel
patrons pay more-that Is, some Of
them. However. time is a great
compensation, and after a little while
the man who used to >patronize the
ultra stylish hotel because Of the ex-
cellence OF the booze service may
prefer a more modest hotel in booze
less times. What amazes us in the
whole business is the fact that these
hotels have been able to advance
their rates and get away with it,
That looks like achieving the i'm
possible.

cover himself up. Such spectacle as he is as
he parades around, works powerfully under
well known psychological laws for the deter
ioration of the race. The Greeks who under,
stood this matter well had only the most beau
tiful statutes in their public places.
1t should be added, however, that insofar as
there is any justification for this discrimination
against women it is honorable and compliment
tary to her By ordinances of this sort man ad-
mits that her publicity and instinct for proprl-
ETY. make it mmaterial what attire he wears;
but that he, knowing himself, finds it expedient
to insist that she shall always and everywhere
be convent onally CARRIED.
