Memorial
 Day Message For Men Who Won War

New York, May 25.-A Memorial day message from President Wilson to American veterans of the world war was received here today by the American Legion weekly. It read:
 "We approach the annual celebra- tion of Memorial day with our hearts filled with tenderest and grateful memories of those who have given their lives for America. The day has by custom been. consecrated to the country's heroic dead. This is observed by those who were com rades in arms and who shared with the well-remembered dead the exper- fences, the hardships, the perils and the glory of war; this is celebrated by the people of the country gener- ally who take it as an annual oc- cason to renew their loyalty to the country and to draw fresh inspiration for the tasks of peace from the mem ory of the sacrifices which were made so freely in times of war. The day is therefore filled with both memor- ies of the past and inspirations for the future. It gathers the traditions of what we have done in order that we have the courage for what we have to do.
 Progress moves like an army; it has it's days of training and prepara- tions, it's days of conflict and it's days of vindication; it has it's camp fires and it's memories
 "To you who were soldiers of Am erica in the great war I send affec- tionate greetings. What your arms

MONEY IN THE RACE

If a candidate spends half million dollars in preliminary skirmishes to obtain the nomination, how much would the cost be between nomination and November? Who would pay the ' bills And after election to what extent could those who paid the bills influence the newly elected official This official would be the president of the United States. The amount of money that is being spent in the elec- tiUn campaign is matter that means lot to the American people. In it is involved the question Gs whether the new president is to be the servant of the people and their representative or the servant of few who have paid the bills and made his election pos Nsible. The few wouldn't be willing to pay the bills unless there were some thing in it for them. Its possible 60 Acompel the publication of the names and the amounts contributed for every candidate. This should be done and it should be done long enough before election day to enable the people to determine who shall receive their votes.

THEN AND NOW.

The progress of churches, as well as laymen, is evidenced by the con- tribution to the press of a Massa .hu- setts antiquarian who reviews the dietetic habits of 1722, as evidenced at church ordination
 The bill of goods ordered to be sent to "Mr. Townsend's house." for the entertainment of divers ministers comprised:
 "One plum cake, one Chester cheese, 12 barrel of beer, 1-2 dozen Canary wine, 1-2 barrel of ale, 2 pounds of fresh butter"
 From the cook shops:
 "Three small pattys, 12 dozen tarts. To boil: 5 hams bacon, 5 legges porke, Z 16 neat tongues, 2 doz. fowles. To roste: pieces beefe, 5 loins of veal, 5 qrs. lamb; all sorts of sauce; 40 ibs. butter, eggs, IA hundred reasons, i-4 do corants, 16 buildings.
 ..Licquer: 1 bbl. beere. 1 bbl cider, 1-4 cask Madeira wine, 1-2 gal s lon lime juice, 10 bread bricks, pipes and tobacco, 1 doz. drinking glasses
 There is also a tavern-keeper' { itemized bill for "keeping ordination in 1784, inclusive of "2 mugs tody, pint wine, bitters, 15 boles punch, Ill bottles wine,5 mugs flip, 3 boles punch, 3 boles tody.p
 But the church was not so far ou. of order, in the old days, as may ap- pear to the present generation. Wine and liquor were widely used and we suspect that both were of better qual- { ity, less adulterated, and less harmful. than the latter day intoxicants Then, too, the human race had not acquired it's depressing experience with intoX- ( cants. The joystierer who deliberately ' went out and acquired delirium tre- mems was an uncommon phenomena, and few if any wives and children We're deprived of the necessities of z li4e because father diverted his earn i1gs to intoxicants. The privilege MI llquOi III tHe oIu udyS was seiNoil! abused. They knew how to take a drink and go about their businesses and few were worse off for it.. sS ,,Modern Americans seem to have { made it their business to demonstrate their incapacity for self-control in ssthese matters. It appears to have Rsbeen not so much that the use or in, tcxicating liquor was wrong, per se, X as that. so many Americans lacked ability to deal with it temporarily; they abused their privileges, and, like imprudent and overbold children, they g had it taken away from them.
 Knowing modern humanity as they < do, few churches would take any chances on ordering any such bill of fare for an ordination as the fathers < of 1722, even if it were proper and possible. If its attractive features be . came known, the church building would be too small to hold the throrg of visitors, and the gathering would probably have to be well policed to hold down the enthusiasm.

Lower Shoe Prices
 Late Next Winter
 Now are Predicted

Washington, May 25.-Lower shoe prices late next winter and spring were predicted today by Edward A. Brand, secretary of the Tanners Council of the United States, testify ing before a senate committee of in- quiry.
 Tanners and manufacturers believe prices will fall by that time, MT Brand said, because of the recent de- cline in leather prices. This decline could not sooner be reflected in shoe costs he said, because shoes are made up far in advance of the season in which they are offered on the mar ket.
