Wool Prices and the Profiteers,

Genuine indignation pusates through-every
word of the denial with which Secretary Nc
Clure of the Wool Growers association repels
the direct charge Of the clothing men that the
sheep owners are parties to the high cost Of
clothing. DR.. Mcclure gives prices that show
but 81 worth Of wool entering into the SIS suit
of clothes. His argument is clear and under
standable.
Another phase OF the question is presented
by the colloquy between M. L. Rothschild, a
Chicago manufacturer, and Sidney Hillman,
president of the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers. 'Who is to blame for the high prices1" de-
manded Rothschild eve all are" answered
Hillman.
Rothschild's suggestion that purchasers be
advised not to buy will hardly be needed if
manufacturers keep pushing up the price. Pur-
chasers will not be able to buy. Wool is higher
than ever, wages are higher, and everything
that enters into the cost of producing and dis
tributing garments is advanced far over pre-
war figures. But profits have equally been
boosted to unreasonable heights. Hillman's
reply to Rothschld fairly locates responsible
ity. Blame rests on all, and the remedy also
rests there.
The pyramiding process must be stopped un-
less the trade seeks disaster. Clothing dealers,
wool growers, tailors, are not alone inculpated
in this. They merely stand here an example Of
what others are doing. The process is ruinous,
the end is ruination for somebody The pro-
posed convocation Of business leaders to dis
cuss means for ending the imitation may bring
good result, but a little conservatism all along
the line will do more to put stop to the pro-
cession that is now treading near to national
calamity.

Hitchcock and Underwood.

1t was even Steven" between Senators
Hitchcock and Underwood in the caucus vote
for the leadership vacant since Senator Martin
died. The situation suggests one thought-that
neither is the man the democrats really seek, or
the vote would not have resulted in tie. It is.
of course, complimentary to either that his col
leagues should hold him equal with his op-
ponent, but this does not set one or the other
out strongly ahead of the group in the place
leader might be expected to fill. Plainly, the
choice is finally to depend on expedency and
this may be determined, as most things relating
to the minority party in congress have been de-
termined, entirely they affect the interests of
the southern group Underwood halls from
state that is hopelessly democratic; his career
in the senate is just beginning. Hitchcock
comes from state that is debatable at all times,
and which presents now a delegation in con-
gress soldly republican, save for himself and
in which the democrats have scant prospect for
victory this year. If this holds good, and it is
in line with democratic practice this contest is
over, the end being but postponed

ON THE WATER WAGON NOW.

Today the United States of America enters
on new era for from now on the manufacture,
sale or handling of intoxicating liquor OF any
kind for beverage purposes is forbidden by the
fundamental law of the land. For the first time
in all the worlds history \ great free. self
governing people has determined to abolish
strong drink. To others the inhibition has been
presented by autocratc power, or BY its
religious practice, but only the Americans ever
solemnly determined upon it as . policy and
then transmitted that policy into principle by
embedding it in the basic law of the nation
There are and will be many who for long
time will oppose the enforcement of the
sumptuary laws that flow from this condition.
These assume various attitudes, but all tend in
the same direction. Against them will be ar
rayed the group that is united on the determina-
ton to Danish liquor from the life of the world
Between these is larger group than either,
those citizens who but passively participated in
the proceedings that have led up to the present
state. II they have assented to the program of
the prohibitionists, it has been not because they
love the vets less but that they love the home
more.
If disaster has overtaken the plans Of the
liquor industry in America, only its operations
are to blame. The determination to be rid OF
the saloon and the evils that surrounded and
emanated from it is manifest in the acquiesence
by the majority of Americans in constitutional
prohibition. If experience proves the enforced
removal of Intoxicating liquor from the daily
life of our people to have been mistake it may
be rectifed in some way but that the American
saloon should ever return 10 not likely.
The worst Of the change has passed, and
most of the readjustments necessary have been
made. Needed provisions for enforcement of
the law in the future will come forth as ex-
perience develops but the dry era is already
so we'll launched that only little caulkng here
and there will be required to stop the leaks in
the lid. The future will determine the rest.

To Keep Your Skin
Free From Hairs
Beauty Topics)

II you are willing to spend q few
minutes time in your room using a
delatone paste, you can easily ban
ish any ugly, hairy growth without
discomfort or injury. The paste is
made by mixing some water with a
little powdered delatone. This is
then spread over the hairy surface
and after 2 minutes rubbed off and
the skin washed. You will not be
disappointed with this treatment,
provided you get real delatone.

Easy Labor Situation.
From information obtained from
large Topeka industrial plants, Oliger
expressed the opinion that it would be
comparatively easy to secure from 200
to 500 women willing to become gar
ment makers in Topeka. In this state
ment he was borne out by Miss Lima

wrote declaring that she had many in
quir1es concerning garment work in
Topeka. 1t is her opinion that in gem
eral women prefer this sort of work to
the more arduous ana d:stasteful tasks.
Oliger told of the splendid work of
the strong industrial committee of the
chamber, composed of the city's
strongest and most influential business
men, that was of great assistance in
assisting industries entering business
In Topeka. The industrial committee
has several locations in view. They
are sure that almost any one of the

CONFESSED SLAYER is MUTE
Negro Who Attacked and Killed Girl
Arraigned on Murder Charge,

Indianapolis, April 27.-William
Ray, colored, confessed slayer of IA
year-old Martha Huff, was placed on
trial in criminal court here today on a
charge or first degree murder. Many
policemen and detectives guarded the
defendant because last week an effort
was made to storm the jail TO get the
negro.
Ray stood mute when arraigned and
formal plea not ~iliIty was ordered
by the court. Selection of a Jury then
began. 1t was believed that the case
would go to the jury before night
Two physicians who examined Ray de-
clared him sane.
The negro, who says he is 10 years
old, enticed the Huff girl to the river
bottoms, where he attacked her and
stabbed her thirteen times. The state
will ask the death penalty.
