The Silk Stocking Set.

Our very worthy district attorney,
Gen. T. o. Morris, at the request of
the Christian Endeavor, made an
address at the Cumberland Presbyr
terrain Church last Sunday night on
the subject of Economy" Mr.. Nor
ris always makes a good speech and
this one was very sensible indeed in
view Of the present conditions. The
only way out of the present trouble,
says Mr.. Morris, is in the exercise of
economy. True there are profiteers
who are making their millions in
high price goods, but there is no
law to prevent these high prices.
The constitution allows every man
the right to buy and sell as the op-
portunity offers-at any price he
can get. That is one of the rights
of an American citizen. But it rests
with with the consumer whether or
not these high prices will stand.
If the people continue in their
present extravagant habits prices
will continue to be high, but if they
will open their eyes to the folly of
these practices and begin to econ
omize a very great change can be
brought about. If we will stop buy
ing silk stockings, silk shirts, twenty
dollar shoes, and all the other fancy
priced goods on the market-if the
people will stop buying anything at
all until it is really needed, they can
do service to the country that can
not otherwise be done at this stage
of affairs. If the people will use such
economy as this and lay their hands
to the pillow, the broom, the spindle
and the loom the future will bring
and happiness.
There is only one way to solve the
present economic problem and tina.
is in the use of rigid economy. Mr.
Morris did not defend the profiteers.
On the other hand he told how they
were making the most amazing prof
it's, but he said it was not in the
power of legislation to prevent it.
The government has right as war
measure to regulate prices but not
in times of peace. The people alone
can do this by using little good
hard sense and plain living, and 1t
is a duty they owe to the more unfor-
tunate who cannot afford these high
price goods to call halt on extrav-
agance.
Mr.. Morris was little severe on
the social set, the parlor gamblers
in silk stockings and fancy lingerie.
He said that the woman in the gray
bonnet and Bingham dress was just
as sweet and lovely as the painted
queen in silk stockings and French
heels, and whole sight more sensi- |
BILE.
Mr.. Morris was heard by an ap-
proving and responsive audience.

Honor Among Thieves.

If, as General Morris said the
other night, the Constitution of the
United States protects the trades
man in any profit he can get, why
the distinction between the trades
man and the money lender? Why
allow the tradesman or manufacture
err to make one hundred or two thou
sand per cent and limit the money
lender to six per cent. If one is
privilege of the American system,
what is the other? If one is right
what about the other?
1t, is our opinion that one is just
as morally responsible as the other.
If the American Constitution al
lows the manufacturer n d
the tradesman to make profits of
hundreds and thousands of percent
age and confines the money lender
to six and eight per cent, there is
no justice in the American system
and we do not hesitate to say that
such a system is false.
We don't want any more laws
and legislation. There is too in
formally much of such as we have.
If, however, it is to be left to mans
honor CD as to the size of his prof
it's in trade then the money lender
has just as much right to the same
liberty.
If we are going to put premium
on commerce then allow the finan-
cier a little of the same license.

Remember that Mothers DI

Remember that Mothers Day
is second Sunday in May, and you
should not only SAY it with flowers
but also remember that the same
one who helps you "say it with
flowers can save lots of drudgery
from mother by, letting you do her
laundry. It's never too late to do
good. Consult Mr.. T. B. Meador,
manager of Metcalfe's Union City
Laundry, and he'll "say it with
flowers.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

to s1.70 and September s1.61 y to

provisions the outcome varied from
zoe decline to 12hc advance.
About the only selling of corn
during most of the session came
from bulls who wished to realize
profits. but with the market all
most necessarily pointing upward
the majority of the longs were
content to hold tight. Some of the
bulls put special stress on the fall
ing off in the visible supply total
and there was also considerable
emphasis given to opinions that
even should a rail labor settlement
be effected the commercial demand
for corn would absorb all readily
available supplies. Reports that
