THOSE political aspirants who have
thought it good time to ride into
popularity by denouncing the liquor
laws are building on a very unstable
foundation. They have to discount
their own self-respect il they have
any, and it will not take them long to
discover that the favor of the boozcrs
and advocates of personal liberty"
is mighty triling thing compared to
the esteem Of those who approve Of
the decent conditions brought about by
the elimination of the liquor saloons.

1T has been only couple Of months
since the owners and former managers
got the railroads back into their hands
but in this short time they have sue
ceeded in getting them nicely balled
up. Railroad freight service has
gotten so demoralized that the country
is in a really serious condition, and no.

Of the trouble.

they had been under government con-

THERE are signs of a breakup in
the profiteering prices that have been
prevailing throughout the United
States. From every section Of the
country come reports that the big stores
are making extensive reductions in
their prices, and the movement is
gathering considerable momentum as
the merchants realize that the people
are sick Of the outrageous cost of so
many articles. The reductions apply
particularly to ladies' wearing apparel,
but mems clothing and many other
lines are also being heavily cut The
reductions range from 20 to 80 per
cent.

We has announced TO friends In

Senator Penrose said he would be In

in many years il might be impossible
for him 70 attend the convention when
the reports When these reports were
circulated, his brother, Or. Penrose,
was quoted as having said that the
senator would be in Chicago with the
bells on" Although this was subse-
.euently denied by DIR. Penrose. the sem
tors friends were quick to resent the
intimatIon that anything would pre-
vent his attendance at the convention.
1t was largely because of the cir
culation Of these reports that Penrose
"a few days ago made the announce
ment that he favored his colleague.

that some one might rise up to take
his place in the leadership Of Pennsyl-

BY coming out for Senator Knox FOR

still demanded recognition as a factor
in the manipulation of the convention.
The controversy over the organiza-
ton OF the convention is sttll far from
being settled senator Borah could

WINGED the latter that until further dis
