STOP BUYING LUxURIES,"
Is HIGH COST ANTIDOTE

Women of Illinois will lead the
campaign against the high cost of
living. A woman is to take charge
of the entire State organization be-
ing formed to batter down prices.
Her powers, it is expected, will be
even greater than those of Major
A. A. Sprague, fair price commits
sioner for the State Of Illinois.
Mrs. Maud R. Turley, organizer
of the woman's division, issued her
first communication to the women of
her State last week.
"Stop buying" she said. "Refuse
to pay luxury prices and unrea-
sonable costs for the common food
stuffs.
"Buy only what is absolutely nee
essary now.
"Stop eating dollar-a-d dozen eggs,
and 90-cent butter.
postpone purchase of the fur
coat and expensive suit for the pres
ent and watch prices tumble.
"You are ninety per cent. of the
purchasing power in Illinois. Use
that power this minute and watch
the results while you carry out your
order plans"

Senate, or punish the corruptinists
and purge the Senate. 1t was ad-
mitted under oath by Mr.. Newber-
rvs managers that they had dis
bursed in his behalf $176,568, in
contravention of the laws of Mich
lgan and the federal statutes.
But the Republican members of
the United States Senate made no
response to these demands. They
made no move to exculpate Mr..
Newberry, to preserve the good name
of the Senate or to protect the rights
of voters. Instead, they accepted the
vote and assistance of Mr.. New
berry and seemingly welcomed him
as the margin of one by which they
dominated public and party affairs
in the Senate for six months Of the
special session.
At last this Republican majority
will have to act. Indictments based
on evidence have corroborated pub
lie opinion regarding the need of an
investigation and have forced the
United States Senate to determine
once for all whether Senatorial seats
are purchasable. Meantime the ma
TONS attention is focused on the
Republican majority, which for half
year has refused to question the
practices of those who promoted
Senator Newberry's campaign. The
disclosures will force a scrutiny of
the whole career of this Republican
majority during the tendency of the
treaty of peace and the League of
Nations. 1t will raise the question,
whether a Senatorial vote in fur
thering program OF obstruction
and reaction was more important
than the honesty Of elections, the
sanctity of popular government and
the honor of the United States Sem
ate.
With the Republican majority
which, by its preponderance and its
command in the Senate, has the larg-
err share of responsibility-now wait
for the courts to decide the fitness
or unfitness of a United States
Senator9 Will Republican leaders in
the Senate take refuge in the excuse
that a jury must do what they had
chance, a need, and an occasion
to do any time these six months?

WHAT WILSON DEMANDS

The workman demands an ade-
quate wage, sufficient to permit him
to live in comfort, unhampered by
the fear of poverty and want in his
old age. He demands the right to live
and the right to work amidst SAM
tary surroundings, both in home and
in workshop, surroundings that de-
velop and do not retard his own
health and well being; and the right
to provide for his children's wants
in the matter of health and educa-
ton. In other words, it is his desire
to make the conditions Of his life
and the lives of those dear to him
tolerant and easy to bear-Wood
row Wilson, in the Presidents mes
sage to Congress December 2.
In the above, of which the cap
ltals are ours the PRESIDENT SHOWS
plainly that it is every mans duty
to guard against want in his old
age. 1t was not his province to point
out the particular way in which man
should save. But saving is the only
way to guard against these torrors
of old age-want and poverty. Sys-
tematic saving and wise investing of
the savings is a necessity. War Saw
ings Stamps for small savers and
Treasury S avings Certificates for
large ones offers the lest and SAT-
est investment that the U. S. gov
eminent can devise.

~fRAup, Conspiracy,

With the help Of Senator New
berry's vote the Republican sena-
tors of the Sixty-sixth Congress or
ganized the Senate, selected the
chairman and a majority Of the
members Of all committees, controll-
ed and directed the course Of legis-
lation and forced the rejection of
the treaty of peace and the League
of Nations.
The methods by which Senator
Newberry was chosen a senator
from Michigan and member Of the
Senate's Republican majority are to
be determined by criminal prosecu-
tons, which have already been in
itiated by the indictment of 134 per-
sons including Senator Newberry
himself. In support of these indict-
ments there has been submitted EVIL
dence Of framd, conspiracy, ccrrur
ton and debauchery without pre-
cedent in American history. 1t is al
legged that not less than 100000,
and perhaps even $1,000,000 was
paid for this crime against the bal
lot.
At the beginning of the special
session of Congress-when the Re-
publican majority in the Senate was
packing" committees and prepar-
ing to defeat the treaty and the
League of Nations = there was a
general demand that the Senate in
vestigate the charges lodged against
the managers of Senator Newberry's |
campaign. There was even then war
rant for action that would either
vindicate Senator Newberry and the

Republican papers are asserting
now that the ratification Of the
treaty with Germany cannot be an
issue in the next campaign. Do these
organs think Republican senators
can kill an issue as readily as they
killed the treaty.

years the Irish element not only out
numbered. all other immigrants from
Europe. but exceeded the total i'm
migration of all other countries. For
ty-thTee per cent of the immigrants

33 per cent, and 1S4S, so per cent of

DEALERS NAY KEEP HIHISKEY; CAN'T SELL II 15,O0O Barrels of Beer in Hartford At Present
 Time.

Hartford, Oct. 21-James J. Walsh, collector of the Connecticut Internal Revenue district, said yesterday that he Is fully determined to carry out the terms of the wartime prohibition enforcement bill, just as soon as it becomes a law, on October 28. This means that all beer over the F of l per cent variety will be confiscated by the internal revenue officers, and poured into the Connecticut river. or any other river that is handy.
 Collector Walsh said that in all probability dealers who had beer and wtiskey on hand July 1, and were still keeping 1t, although not violat- ing the law by making any sales, would be allowed to keep their stocks.
 The thousands of barrels of beer, containing more than F of l per cent. of alcohol, will either have to be stored under lock and key, or dealcO- holized,- to prevent them from being confscated by the federal agents, Collector Walsh said. Brewers de- clared yesterday that besides the 15,- 900 barrels of beer in Hartford at the present time, there is the eQuiva- lent of that number of barrels in the vats, ready to be put in the barrels.
