of spectators who lined the sidewalk
and showed their appreciation Of the
spectacle by applause and cheers. It
was an inspiring exhibition of sturdy
American manhood, The sight of
these organized thousands brought to-
gether through common allegiance
to ideals of loyalty and justice was an
impressive demonstration of the power
that lies behind the institutions of
this broad land. Coming at time

apprehension and alarm because of
the Vaccinations and the crimes of
men who set all law at defiance and
seek only to tear down and destroy.

seven girls of the Sunnyslde CLUB
led by Adele Doring, IL years old and
bright as a button and entirely I'M
spoiled, were instant favorites from
California-where the story was
written-to Maine. One of the many
deeds of kindness led to a wonderful
visit by Adele and brother Jack to
Eva Dearman, once an ill-treated de-
pendent, but now idolized in the
home of her uncle, a wealthy ranch
owner in Arizona. At the close of
vacation, the entire Sunnyside Club
has reunion in this strange land
where there are many exciting scenes
but where friendship, courage and
unselfshness bring happiness, as
they always do.

Social Justice as Harding Sees II

If anyone really has been apprehen-
sive lest Senator Harding was in
some degree lacking in ideals, or in
rare good sense as to the application
of them, because he has not rhapso-
died respecting the heart of the
world" a reading of his remarks
made yesterday on the subject of So
cial justice ought to disabuse their
minds of the error.
is comprehensive. sympathetic and
withaI cminently practical He has
clearly in mind definite steps to be
taken. the need of coordinated action
and the saving of effort now being
frittered away in rivalry between va
rious departments at Washington.
He is equally clear that bureaucracy
must be avoided; that no attempt
must be made to replace individual
or community responsibility, rather
~ pTONluc an eHeCtlFe means or ex-
preston.
His words carry conviction that
while earnestly cooperating he will
not be party to the upbuilding OF
machinery which shall be run chiefly
in the interests of the machinists
He leaves no room for doubt that he
will enforce 50 far as possible the
laws given him TO enforce. prohibit
ton along with the rest. From the
first sentence to the last he spoke as
one who felt that he might become
responsible for what he had to say.
This is characteristic Of all his re-
marks in public and in this respect
also in some others-he appears dis
tinguished from his competitor in
tho presidential race.

Getting Stung on Sugar

1t was not tale to move the aver
age consumer to tears, the story told
Thursday by Edwin F.. Atkins, senior
member of the firm of E. Atkins &
Co, Boston, and president of several
raw sugar concerns, although it was
recital of conditions which he said
he believed would result in loss Of
two hundred and fifty million dollars
TO somebody
1t is worthy of note that he de-
clared at GO time had there been a
sugar shortage in this country; that
the increasing price had been caused
by the purchases by English and Ca
madam refiners and "delirious" spec
ulation. He upheld the course of the
American Sugar Refining Company
in requiring its patrons to pay the
contract prices, saying that if all re-
timing companies reduced their prices
at the present time they would throw
many wholesalers into bankruptcy,
but he made no mention of how the
keeping up of the price affects the
consumer. This however, stands in
need of no comment on his part
There was in what he said somewhat
of consolation for the consumer, in
that he revealed the actual cost Of
the raw sugar at seven cents, also
that notwithstanding their utmost
efforts the sugar spectators have
been unable to keep the market I'D
and stand to lose heavily in some in
stances.

We Want to Be In at the Finish

Clothing Prices Past the Peak. -
Headline.
Now that's about the worst yet
We had been kidding ourselves along
with the idea that when they reached
the peak, prices would know enough
to stop; but it seems not. No, they
are not satisfied with touching a mere
peak, though the suffering world
knows the one they have reached is
some elevation. They have got to go
the peak one,-or more, better, like
the COW that jumped over the moon.
There are only two things to do:
either make the peak move

flights and adjustable to all
heights; or just let 'em keep on going
up and while you sit tight, chuckling
in your sleeve because you know that
what goes up must come down and
the higher it is the harder it hits
when it lands.

The Trend Of the Political Situation


The political straws are all blowing
in one direction, and with a presiden-
tlal candidate who insists on persist
entity advertising his ineligiblity there
seems to be no reason to expect a
shift in the wind. The straw vote
taken by the eight thousand Rexall
stores showed returns to Sept. q
that indicated Harding will receive
364 electoral votes and Cox 1877. With
but 26S needed to elect the President,
Harding appears to have a safe mar

cities in the past ten years have
grown seven and a half times as fast
as the rural districts. 1t does not ap-

who seek the country in the summer

demonstrated some day that the
number of those who will wish to
populate the country rather than the
