CONSTITUTIONALITY LEVER ACT UPHELD
 BY FEDERAL JUDGE
Bv Associated press

New, Orleans, May 29.-Judge Rufus F. Foster, sitting in federal district court, today upheld the constitutional ity of the Lever act and overruled de- murrers to indictments against four wholesale grocers and one retail mer- chant charged with profiteering in sugar sales.
 In his opinion Judge Foster ruled that the price fixing provision in the Lever act is not unconstitutional. Through their attorneys the defend ants had filed demurrers attacking the right of the government to set a price for sugar.
 All the men were arrested recently by agents of the department of jus tice, charged with profiteering, and were indicted by the federal grand jury.
 The decision means that the de- fendants will have to stand trial on the profiteering charges.

GILBERT BOWLES To
GET HERE THURSDAY

Gilbert Bowles. Friends missionary

ence in London, England. and was

formed japanese national council Of
the world alliance for promoting inter
national friendship through the

rs to %. will be at the home Of Clar-
ence Pickett. BOG College avenue,
Thursday
A letter received at the Friends
central offices from Mr.. Bowles tells
the purpose Of the world alliance for
promoting international friendship
through the churches.
He writes: "The alliance Is not one
of churches. but federation of in
dividual Christians who seek through
the various branches of the Christian
church to do what they can to pro-
mote fellowship and mutual under
standing, both within and beyond nat
ional and racial boundaries.
'Inasmuch as the work Of the con-
ciliation and the promotion Of amity
is essentially a Christian task, 1t is
expedient that the churches in all
lands should use their influence with
the peoples, parliaments and govern
ments of the world to bring about
good and friendly relations between
the nations.
"As all branches of the Christian
church are equally concerned in the
maintenance of peace and the promo
ton Of good feeling among all races,
it is advisable for them to act in con-
cert"
About % countries Of the world
were represented at the conference.
J. Allen Baker, a member OF the Eng
1ish parliament, but who died in 1918,
was the first chairman of the alliance,
and principal organizer, in 1914.

American Bartenders
Seek ENGLISH Jobs

LONDON, Sept. 13.-.American bar
tenders are invading England and
getting jobs in the more pretentious
bars and clubs frequented by young
men because of their ability to mix
cocktails. Older Englishmen still stick
to their scotch and soda" but the
younger generation is getting the
cocktail habit
One bartender when applying for
position at big club told the secre-
tary he could mix 500 different drinks.
The Englishman viewed him with that
expression SO familiar to Americans
when they try to tell English folks of
what a glorious country America Is,
through his alleged repertoire yet but
has made good.

A loud rapping on his hotel door in
Washington awakened the sleeping
Vice-President to the startling news
that the President had been mortally
shot. Even before Andrew Johnson
took the oath the next morning, strong
men were laying plans. with unseemly
haste. to have him reverse Ltncoln's
policy toward the conquered South.
Secretary Stanton turned directly
from the death bed to order the i'm
prisonment Of Jacob Thompson, the
fleeing Confederate emissary, whose
arrest Lincoln had refused to sanction
only the evening before, and he offered
a reward for the capture of Jefferson
Davis as an accomplice in the Presi-
dents assassination.
At the same time radical Repub-
Hcans in caucus at Washington were
bailing the change of leaders as a god
send. BY the gods! there will be no
trouble now in running the Govern
ment," exclaimed Senator Wade Of
Ohio, as he grasped the hand Of the
new President.
Meanwhile, as the Southern people
saw this poor white" Of the South
enthroned over them, they sank to a
still lower level of despair than they
had fallen when their armies surren-
cered. When Davis heard Of the mon
strous charge that he had conspired
with Booth, he made the bitter retort
that there was at least one man who
knew it was not true; johnson knows
that I would have preferred Lincoln to
him.
Power quickly cooled the indicative
passions kindled in Johnson by his
long. bitter feud with the Southern
leaders, and he returned to Lincoln's
policy Of reconciliation. Wisely, no
one was punished for treason. Hap
PLY, vengeance for a great war was
rot wreaked on any individual.
The radicals, who had secretly re-
toiced in Johnson's accession, turned
upon him furiously. 1t was easy for
them to excite the doubt Of the North
in this Southerner, and to estrange the
Republicans from this Democrat.
For the first time even the sobriety
OF President was called into question.
Johnson's unfortunate condition at his
Inauguration as Vice-President had
shocked Charles Sumner into starting
a whispered discussion of his enforced
resignation. When he became Presi-
dent his intemperance in speech lent

temperance in drink.
1t is an unanswerable question in
history whether even Lincoln could
have mastered the rising opposition to
him in Congress and restored the I'm
ion on the plan which he had adopted
That plan had small chance of success
in Johnson's hands, with his lack of
Lincoln's good-humored tact, modesty,
forbearance and hold on the public
confidence.
