Senator Harding, who is being
sponsored by the republicans for the
next president OF the United States.
has declared against the business Of
the South. In so many words, Sen
ator Harding says. "Io away with
the federal banks. do away with gov
ernment aid to drouth sufferers, do
away with federal aid to the cattle
man and the sheepman and the cot
ton raiser" He says big business
should handle big business and the
government keep their hands on.
Senator Harding seems to have that
feeling in his heart. that had the
same possessed President Grant at
the time Jay Gould tried to corner
gold. would have ruined this nation.
It is dangerous to place a man in the
chair of the president that does not
believe the government should sue
cor its distress and aid its unfortun-
ates. Richardson Echo.

volve criminal profiteering.
As an exhibit for it's consideration.
he said. the grand jury would be
shown a ham sandwich which cost
six cents TO make and was sold for
thirty cents.
The announcement OF a special ses
sion followed conference with hotel
proprietors, who. like restaurant
keepers that were heard yesterday
said there was no way in which they
could cut prices and make their din
ing rooms pay.
Although, profits running to 5000
per cent on vegetables and into hun
dreds of per cent on certain dishes
were admitted, they told the Govern
ment attorney that in most cases
their eating places were being run al
a loss.
Overhead expenses" were blamed
for the conditions by most OF those
heard, and this excuse Mr.. Gallagher
declared to be a "humbug." He added
that the only overhead he observed
was that the average of prices was
over the heads of the consumers.
