NO PROFITEERING HERE
Topeka Millinery Prices Are o. X.
Says Fair Price Commission.


mo case of profiteering has been
found among Topeka milliners yet. $
Mrs. G. A. Supple. chairman of the
millinery committee of the Shawnee
county fair price commission, said to-
day while the committee is dis
missed for the present, the commits
sion intends to continue the investiga-
ton later
w. H. Kemper, chairman of the
county fair price commission, did not
think the report submitted by the
committee was extensive enough to
make public stat ment.
The committee of women making
the millinery investigation is composed
of Mrs. Supple. Mrs L. Candy. Mrs.
F. p Lindsey, Mrs. r. G. Blaine and
Mrs. J. G. Wood.
"Milliners all say that the public is
responsible for the high prices in
hats" Mrs Supple said. THE commit
tee does not think such is the case, but
if SO. Nthat the public must not pay
such exorbitant prices.
According to Mrs. J. G.. Wood. sec
rotary of the committee, who tried to
find profiteering in millinery, there is
no profiteering among the milliners.
Mrs. Wood declares that after her in
vestigation she sees justification for
prices charged by the milliners and
that she could find no profiteers. The
other members of the committee are
not convinced that the prices are not
higher than they should be and desire
to continue the inquiry.

travelled on all kinds of roads and

no time have been disturbed in any

THE WILSON HATERS.

About the most narrow and shriveled up piece
of petty partisan feeling that has yet come to
our notice is found in an editorial in the Tren-
ton State Gazette which. under the heading
'.Debauching the Child Mind; A Notice to
Teachers" finds fault with a school paper be-
cause it is friendly to the Wilson administra-
tion." When it becomes Objectionable merely
to be friendly" with the Wilson administration
the limit in partisanship has about been reach
ed. Nothing short of antagonism will do.
OF course, if this school paper was continually
v~illifying the President as the State Gazette has
been doing. poisoning the child mind against
the President who will rank among the greatest
men of the age; then, doubtless, the State
Gazette would hold the paper up as a model for
all schools to follow. All degrees of Wilson
haters are to be found throughout the country,
but the palm thus far goes to the State Gazette
of Trenton.

INTEREST is WORLDWIDE.

That interest in city planning is worldwide
is shown by the letter which Mayor Dorsey has
just received from sydney. New South Wales.
The fact that the letter is addressed to His
Worship the Mayor does not detract any from
It's interest. This letter indicates that the third
Australasian town planning conference and ex-
hibition is about to be held at Sidney and the
under secretary is seeking m along
the line of town planning, housing. parks,
etc." from all parts of the world.
Needless to say, Mayor Dorsey will be unable
to forward any maps on plans that have been
prepared for Perth Amboy in the nature of
planning for the future. but it is to be hoped
that by the time the fourth Australasian town
planning conference and exhibition is held
Perth Amboy will be in a position to send some
valuable information.
Developing a city according to a well laid out
plan is the only modern way to grow. 1t is up
to the Board OF Aldermen to see to it that Perth
Amboy gets in line without further delay.

a ADVICE.

There is a good deal of talk in the air to the
effect that wages are scheduled for a decided
drop. In this connection Roger II. Williams.
vice president OF the National Bank OF Com
merce in New York. says in a public speech:
1--WE hear in some directions business men
saying that labor had its swing while prices
we're high and labor was scarce. and that now
the turn of the employer is coming and they in
tend to take full revenge. This may be human
nature. but 1t is a most sinister aspect of it.
Revenge is rarely profitable and at this time
such an attitude would be little less than a pub
lie calamity.
ut serves to alarm the working class and to
curtail its buying far beyond what is necessary.
ut serves to reduce working morale and to
cause antagonism between sections of the BUSH
ness community who. may differ in the part
they play in our business life but do not differ
in common welfare.
Growing unemployment and lowered wages
have created a fear on the part of many that
their buying power is going to be drastically
reduced. They are struggling to get along with
their old belongings rather than to buy new
ones. apprehensive that later on they will need
every cent they can save in order to make sure
Of obtaining life's necessaries.
ut will very materially aid the orderly re-
adjustment now under way if business sees to it
that a reasonable relation is maintained between
the reduction in the buying power of the wage
group and the reduction in the high cost OF liv-
ing.
Real wages mean promoting the genera!
prosperity, maintaining which affects us all.
The American wage-earning public will not
contentedly accept a lower scale of living than
it has become used to-"

Alliance in it's campaign to sup
press Sunday recreation are not en-
tirely unanimous in their stand Is
evidenced by the statement of indi-
vidual members of the clergy, who
have frankly criticised the blue laws
movement. One of these courage
Gus dissenters is DR.. William I.
Manning. rector of Trinity church
here, who referred to the matter as
follows. in a recent sermon:
Some Pastors Oppose Ii.
This proposed campaign for
stricter Sunday laws is one of those
well meant but misguided efforts
which do harm instead OF good,
to the cause they r intended to
serve. 1t is impracticable. wrong in
principle and based on a narrow
and imperfect conception of the
Christian religion. 1t would do far
more to drive religion out of the
hearts of the people than to draw
them toward it.
1--WE have no right to compel re-
ligious observance of Sunday, by
law. The law should forbid all un-
necessary business on Sunday, and
thus. as far as possible, secure to
all their right to Sunday as a day
of freedom from their ordinary oc-
| equations and of religious OBSERVE
ance If they wish to use it. Fur
Their than this. the law may not
rightly 60"
The Right Rev. Charles S. Burch
| bishop of New York. is also firmly
| opposed to forcing Sunday Blue
Laws upon the people. He says:
" do not believe that the people
of this country are going back to
the New England Blue Laws. If
what little l have seen is correct,
the reformers are going pretty far.
1 do not believe we are going to
have such a revolution as would oc-
cur ( we prohibit interstate COM
merce on Sunday. You cannot leg
islate people into moral or ethical
positions. You can educate them &c
it, but you cannot achieve morality
by compelling them to give up wha,
they believe are their constitutional
rights"
Even more interesting than the
views of the clergy are the views
of the people now pouring into the
offices of New York newspapers
some of which are printing then
in their columns. Unfortunately
we have not the space to set dowr
the opinions of the people here
But suffice it to say that they are
surprisingly serious and hostile tt
all reformers. They show conclu.
sively that the Sunless Sunday will

natured resignation that ushered IL

THE TOLL.

More than $500 persons were killed by auto
mobiles in the United States during the past
year, according to the census bureau.
Their number equals the population of any
average city ward, or Of many a county seat.
They were killed at the rate of more than ten a
day. or about one every two hours.
Mortality from diseases once greatly dreaded
has been materially reduced. In many COM
munities typhoid has been all but wiped out.
fever is almost extinct. But mans own folly.
neglect and carelessness is substituting new
forms of death in place of those he has con-
quered.
Through carefulness probably nine-tenths Of
the fatal automobile accidents might have been
avoided. Lives are lost in frantic efforts to save
seconds.
A large number of the years fatalities result
ed from grade crossing accidents in which whole
families were exterminated. In many instances
there was a desire ito beat the train across"
In other cases, crossings were unguarded or the
view of the approaching train obscured by
standing freight cars.
In almost all instances, somebody was to
blame: somebody was careless: somebody was
thoughtless.
Man labors to overcome certain fatal diseases
still unconquered. But each man has in his own
jury by automobiles. He need only stop. look
and listen. But the number of automobile ac-
cidents continues steadily to increase.
