PRICE IS HIGH

Of course, there are places in Chi cago where a delegate if he looks good" to the bartender can get drink of real liquor for 75 cents. But the av- craze man, much to his regret. does not look good" As result, many people go to bed every night with thirst. The wise do not, provided the wise are Messed in addition to wisdom, with fair proportion of the coin of the healm. This is another instance of the grind ing of the poor man. The law applies, in theory, to all. But the prohibition law applies in fact only to the man who has too much sense or too little money to pay prevailing prices. At that, liquor may be had, but stories that the visitor woudl b cable to put his foot on the rail ad lDitum are more or less unfounded.
 In speaking of prohibition. it is an interesting sight to watch William J. Bryan, the eminent newspaper reporter He noses about like stray sheep. The republicans laugh at him and spurn him, and yet he has proved to be their very best friend. He has come to Chi cago to report and make goodly sum of money He states that he has come to persuade the republican party to do that which the party had previously determined to do-ignare prohibition.
 Mr. Bryan along with other enemies of wine prepares a petition to present to the platform committee. He is often seen with that distinguished dry Ala bamian who some time ago ran for the Senate against Oscar w. Underwood, the Hon. Breck Musgrove. multi-mii- liouaire of Jasper.

PROCTOR SPENDS MONEY


 And Woods manager--or one of them
 Colonel Proctor of Ohio-is sthl spending money. Prior to the conven- tion he spent $2 per wire m wiring in- vitations to all delegates and newspa- per men to be Woods guests in Chlca- go. Many took this invitation to mean that Wood would be very glad to see the delegates and correspondents Tn ms headauarters. Others. however took the invitation quite literally and were considerably peeved when on accepting i, person, they failed to find bedrooms, with table spread and decanter open. Al that. Proctor spent a large sum when he paid for the telegrams, and on remembering that fact the dele- gates, despite their dtsappointment' forgave him.
 The national committee of the re- pu blican party is thinking of adopting the old Roosevelt theory under which the state chairman would De also the states member of the national com mittee The idea is that when such rule prevails the committee will be more amenable to the demands of justice than expediency when passing on ere dentials of contesting delegations.

The emphatic announcement that
millions now living on earth will never
die must seem presumptuous to many
people; but when the evidence is care
fully considered we believe that almost
every fair mind will concede that the
conclusion Is a reasonable one.
For nearly nineteen hundred years
Christians have been looking forward
to time coming when life everlasting
will be offered to all the people Of
earth. Their expectations and hopes
have been based upon the combined
testimony of the inspired prophets of
old-from Moses to John-upon the
testimony Of Jesus of Nazareth, the
Son of the living God, and upon the
testimony Of his inspired apostles.
More than 1000 years ago God made
promise to Abraham in which he said
that he would bless Abraham and
through his seed all the families of
the earth should be blessed.
Those who are making a careful
study of the Bible know that this time
of blessing is just at hand.
1t is the purpose of this lecture to
try to turn the minds Of the people to
a careful and prayerful consideration
of the divine promises and then to
rely upon the divine promises and thus
fix their hearts and minds in this hour
OF distress upon mankind; to comfort
those that mourn and point them to a
better day which is near at hand.

Lackawanna's
Engineers to
Join Strikers
Leader of Insurgents Tells
Men Sympathy Walk Out
Is Set for Tomorrow:
Peace Proposition Is Off

All the engineers Of the Lackawanns
Railroad will go on strike tomorrow in
sympathy with the insurgent railway
strikers and in an effort to force the
Railway Managers Association to rein
state the strikers, Edward A. McHugh
chairman Of the executive committee OF
the strikers, announced last night after
a meeting Of the men in Grand View
Hall, Jersey City. He said also tha,
the strikers had withdrawn their offer
to 60 back if their seniority rights were
restored, and that they now would
make new demands.
The announcement met with fiat and
immediate denial from E. M. Rine, vice.
president and general manager Of the
Lackawanna. Mr.. Rine declared the
engineers will remain at their posts
and that the railroads service will con-
tinue normal. Mr.. Rine's statement
was issued following an investigation
made by him among the engineers
They said, he declared, that McHugh's
announcement was not based on fact
Mr.. Rine characterized McHughs an.
nouncemcnt Us mere propaganda.
Predicts Spread of Strikes
McHugh, on the contrary, main
tanned that the decision of the engi-
neers to strike was reached at a secret
meeting Friday night and that the
walk-out on the Lackawanna will be
other lines. McHugh said he was in
formed of the engineers action by 9
delegation of engineers who called
upon him and offered him their aid in
compelling the railway managers to
recede from their decision not to en-
ploy the strikers still out unless they
reengage as new men and surrender
all rights and privileges which they
enjoyed as old employees. McHugh
would not say Of now many men the
delegation of engineers was composed
Neither would he give the names COM
posing the delegation.
Strikers present at the Grand View
Hall meeting were elated with Nc
Hugh's announcement and apparently
took it seriously. They declared that
companies bull-headed attitude" the
railway controversy is to be renewed
on large scale, the responsibility for
it will rest at the doors of the railway
managers. Impassioned addresses were
made at the meeting by McHugh and
ether strike leaders, denouncing the
railway executives as autocrats.
In statement McHugh said the
walkout of the Lackawanna engineers
would be followed by strike of the
Erie shopmen.
McHugh defended himself against

30-Day Ban on
Sweets Advised
To Save Sugar
O'Malley Suggests Boycott
on Candy, Soda Water and
Pastry to Release Prod
uct for Domestic Use

A thirty-day boycott of candy, soda
water and pastry was proposed yester-
day by Edwin J. O'Malley, Commits
sioner Of Markets, as a cure for the
sugar "shortage," which, he says, is
due primarily to the tremendous con-
sumption of sugar by manufacturers
who have obtained control of all the
available supply.
He said that such an anti-sweets
campaign would result in the release of
large quantities of sugar which are in
the possession Of manufacturers.
Mr.. O'Malley received letter from
the Presidents secretary, J. P. Tumul-
ty, yesterday acknowledging the re-
ceipt of Mr.. O'Malley's letter asking
the President to appoint sugar equal
ization board, and saying that he would
bring the matter to the attention of
the President at once.
A conference between Attorney Gen
eral Palmer and sugar refiners is going
on in Washington to try to reach an
understanding. Armin w. Riley, head
of the flying squadron of the Depart
ment Of Justice, departed for Washing
ton yesterday to take part in it.
Consumers Invited to Report
Just before he departed he issued a
statement asking any one who thinks
he has been overcharged for sugar to
communicate Immediately with his
Office in Room 555 in the Federal
Building. The telephone number is
Cortlandt 1880, extension 26.
Complainants are asked to give all
the information they can concerning
the transaction, and tell their names
which will be held as confidential.
1t is hard for the flying squadron tc
tell what is profiteering in sugar
Sugar brokers and dealers said yester-
day there was no prevalent price on
sugar. They said it was changing con-
stantly and that it was worth whatever
one could get for it.
So one retailer might be selling sugar
for 20 cents pound, and another fol
90 cents a pound and neither of them
might be charging any moro than q
fair profit over the wholesale price.
Price Variations Inevitable
So long as there is no authoritative
body to fix the price Of sugar, Mr.. Riley
said, one was bound to encounter diff
ferent prices.
Sugar brokers and dealers say there
is a shortage of sugar and that the
price Is determined by the tremendous
demand which has grown out of the
prohibition Of alcoholic beverages
They say producers know the limited
supply is insufficient for the present
demand and make capital Of it. They
extend no hope for reduced prices il
the market is allowed to run ungov-
Commissioner O'Malley. however
says there is plenty Of sugar, especially
for export trade, and that without a
system of regulated private control
manufacturers do.
He said also that the waste Of fruit
this year will be enormous without
sufficient sugar in the homes for can
ming purposes.
