FRIDAY AFTERNOON JULY g, 1920
THE GOVERNMENT AND PRICES.

!, The old economic theory was that the
law of supply and demand insured
reasonable prices. II sellers charged
too high, more people went INTO tue
business and increased the supply
and prices went down AUTOMATICALLY.
That theory still works in the long
run. 1t is the only permanent metnod
in reducing the cost OF living. buC
many trade customs have arisen that
seriously ebstruct the working OF TINS
economic law. ~. ....,
The time came when producers and
dealers began to associate themselves
in big combines and trusts that could
artificially limit supply, or otherwise
keep prices at an abnormal figure. AS
The result, many articles like sugar
have been selling for three to i've
times as much as formerly. The people
of this community feel these burdens
keenly and they demand relief.
1t used to be the prevailing sent-
ment that the government should keep
entirely out of private business. But
emergencies arise When the govern
ment has to take hand. Govern
ment operation of most industries
would result in less efficient methods
and much higher cost Of production.
Nevertheless, when you have to pay
RS cents r. for sugar that you could
formerly buy for, fiVe,~it is time for ;.
the government to take a hand.
Had the, government gone in last
fail and bought the entire Cuban
sugar crop at such a price that the
people could have got it for 10 or p
cents pound so could probably have
been done, - very flew people would
have criticised such ACTION or would
have called it spcialistic. These are
times when people do not stand on
definitions. They want results. II pro-
ducers adopt a policy of radical pro-
fiteering the government will have to
act.

In sad and loving remembrance of my dear hus-

The month of July again is here,
To me the saddest of the year;
For il July day.

You are resting in peace dear husband,
Four sad years have passed away;
You are gone but not forgotten,
AS think of you each day.

When am all alone;
cannot understand why must part,
From those we love so dear,
But God who doeth all things well,
Will some day make it clear.
Lonely the house, sad the hours,
Since my dear husband is gone;
But OH brighter home than mine.
In heaven is now his own.
never can forget you,
While IL. this world stay
When the Form of death once comes to me,
Meet me dear husband on my way
By his wife S. G. Stair.
Rest in peace dear father.
Four long. ears have past away; -.3..t
Unknown and forgotten by some you may be,
But the grave that contains you is sacred to me-
The midnight stars are beaming,
Upon silent grave;
Where sleepeth without dreaming,
My father we could not save.
By his only son VIM. F. Stair.
Dear grandfather when the flowers bloom,
And the trees in beauty wave;
We will eeather up little bunch,
And lay them on your grave.

Most of the Men Have Been in Confinement For More Than Two Years.

Washington, Nov. 24-All army con- scientious objectors imprisoned during the war have now been released from cus- tody, Secretary of War Baker announced tonight A total of 33, the statement said, nave been discharged by recent orders including Benjamin J. Sahmons, who started a <Inger strike" while confined in a government hospital here a month ago.
 The cases of the S3 conscientious ob- jectors who remained in custody some weeks ago have now been finally reviewed by the secretary of war;" MT. Bakers statement said, lon the recommendation of the adjutant generals office, and the remainder of sentences remitted and the men discharged.
 Each case has been considered on its merits and the principle. on which they have been considered is to remit so much of the sentence as exceeds the normal peace time penalty for the offenses charged
 Most of these men have been in con- finement for more than two years, the statement said, adding that those last discharged were men who had refused to do any sOrtof work while in confinement.

be carried out by the Jews of this coun try, agents of that organization say. They assert that the war and it's aftermath has almost completely impoverished European Jewry, and the depreciation of the money of such countries as Russia, Poland, Austria and Rumania, has com pressed the remaining wealth to an almost irreducible minimum
 They add that European Jewry can contribute to the development of Pales- tine as the national homeland only the humane material in the form of hundreds of thousands of pogrom-refugees now congesting every part from Danzig to Constantinople, and even along the Pa cifc awaiting opportunity to reach Pal estine. While there is a small percent age of these refugees who have manag- ed to escape with considerable capital, most of them are destined to be hewers of~ wood and drawers of water, farm hands and day laborers.
 The Zionists declare that most of the money and constructive advice as well as the technical skill required for Pales- tines development must come from the Jews of this country, and the time has come for the Zionists to make it possible for all Jewish organizations and indi- viduals to participate in the work.
 Zionists declare the Buffalo convention will have to er1nodel the machinery of the organization so that it can concen- trate on it's major task, the development of Palestine.

CALLS FOR PERSONAL INTEREST
 BY MERCHANT MARINE CREWS

Washington, Nov. 24.-Officers and crews of the goverr ment-owned merchant marine were urged by Chairman Benson of the shipping board in a general mes sage today to take personal interest in efficient operation of their vessels. For eign competition, the chairman said, "haS become keen" and more American craft will have to be withdrawn from service unless their operation can be made more profitable, he said.
 'It will be necessary for every individ ual to exert himself to maintain his ship in seaworthy condition, to effect quick turn around, and to reduce the cost of re- pairs" the message said, fin this officers had set good example to their men.
 Our attention has been called to the lack of discipline on shore among some of the officers and seamen of vessels touching at foreign ports This situation is resulting in some vessels being delayed, with consequent expense, or having to sail short-handed. 1t should be stopped at once
 T feel sure that prompt and earnest effort will be made by everyone in the service to meet the present situation"
 The shipping board has to contend with the effect of the dry laws of this country Tn manning it's vessels, Admiral Benson declared. Many worthless seamen ship for no other reason than to reach a for eign port where liquor is sold, he added, and are of no use to their ship at sea or ashore.

 His counsel vigorously protested the high bail, saying Stadtmiller was a poor man on a $75 a week salary" but Judge Mulqueen said he understood there were to be other indictments and that Stadt- miller was Brindell's "chief of staff.

 club" composed of thu twenl lilge jobbing concerns. No WI pra list is sent out by his concern, and usually other firms quote identically, he testified. The three companies which he named as producing 75 per cent. of the wrought | steel in America were tho National Tube l Company.

Business in the wrought iron trade is practically paralyzed" now be- cause one of the two big concerns has g. strike at it's plants. he declared. | Cornel testified there were only nine wrought steel manufacturers in the country and four wrought iron manufac- i turing concerns, including the smaller 1 ones.
