 ThreeSafeS In Water Street
Get $2OO From That in Loose Wiles Company Office But Fail on Other Attempts.

The police today are conducting a vigorous search for perpetrators of robbery at the building at No. 530 Water street which was entered sometime last night or early this morning and which resulted in the loss of s200 and 32 calibre pistol which was taken from the safe in the office of the Loose -Wiles Biscuit Company on the second floor of the right hand side of the building. An attempt to ope,, two other safes, one in the WocdhuU Beef Company on the second fcor of the other side of the buildirg and the other in the of fee of Reliable Coffee Company un- derneath the Loose WileS Biscuit Company failed and the owners re- ported that nothing was missing from the safes.
 In the attempt on the latter two safes the yeggs failed to open them. All three attempts were made in the same manner. The yegg or yeggs who did the job attacked the com binations with hammer and knocked the knob of the combination from it's bearings. Entrance to the building was gained through a win dow underneath the loading platform in the rear of the building. It is be-
 lieved the burglars got into the eel lar and then worked up through the elevator shaft, jinmied the door leading into the Reliable Company s office where they were unsuccessful in their job to open that safe and later went upstairs and got into the safe of the Biscuit company where they got the S200 and the revolver
 In getting into the latter office the yeggs jinmied the gate leading into the office although it has a catch | lock and can be opened without 6 key. Other evidences of the three 1 jobs show that the work was in all l probability that of amateur cracks men. The office of the Biscuit com pany is in plain view of Water street and to avoid being seen the burglar 1 or burglars evidently craw1ed a1ons | the floor on their hands and knees | to avoid being seen from the street.

P0LAND'S FUTURE

French Military Men Say That the Success of the Polish Offensive Has Made Their Free dom a CertaintyWPol- ish Delegates An nounce Their Peace Terms.

Paris, Aug. 21.-Liberation of Pol and is assured by the great victory won during the last week over the Russian forces, according to the opin- ion generally entertained that it will yield more important results. The Bolsheviki army probably will escape destruction, although it's retreat is en- tailing heavy losses.
 In following up this success, it will be logical for the Poles, after cross ing the Bug river, to march nrthward toward Bialystok and Grodno. thus making the retreat of the Soviet army impossible. Such an operation. to sue ceed, would have to be executed with great rapidty and with c1ocklike regularity, it is declared, and the Polish organization, after it's long re- treat and the hard fighting of the past week, can hardly be in a posi- tion to make such an effort. In ad- dition the counter offensive north of Warsaw seems to be going slowly as the Bolsheviki are still reported tc be at Wlocawek, 90 miles west ot Warsaw. The situation must be clear ed up and it seems probable it vii absorb a certain part of the Polish forces

This Was the Last Day for Reconsideration and the Absence of a Quorum Today Ex- tends the Time in Which the Motion May Be Made Indefinitely No Action Can Be Taken Without a Quorum.

Nashville. Tenn, Aug. 2i- More than thirty members of the Tennessee House opposed to suffrage were missing from their hotels early today and were reported to have left for Alabama in an effort to break a quorum of the House and de- lay final action on the woman suffrage amendment.
 Leaders of the suffrage for ces said it was almost certain there would not be quorum when the House met.
 This was the last day for re- consideration, Speaker Walker having given notice on Thurs day that he would move for reconsideration and the law allows two days in which the motion may be made. These two days must be legislative days, that is, days upon which legislative business is trans acted. If there is no. quorum l in the house no business can be transacted, the absence of a quorum, when called to the at tention of the chair, by a mem Der, acting automatically as an l adjournment.
 So long as the thirty mem bers stay away there will be no legislative day and hence the two days in which Walker may move reconsideration will not have elapsed. They might stay away until after election in which case the women could not get the vote.

No Lowering in Sight

Representative William d Upshaw,
Georgia democrat, who appeared in
the house recently clad in a suit of
81 overalls may be compelled to wear
them for the next five years. Repre-
sentative Upshaw declared that he
would wear them as a protest against
high prices until living costs are per-
manently reduced. DR.. Royal Meek
er, the administration expert on liv-
ing costs, straightway reports that it
will be at least five years before
a permanent reduction is made in the
high cost of living. Meeker is head
of the statistics bureau in the u. S.
department of labor which conducts
a continuous survey into living costs
in all large cities. The survey shows
that prices have scared ever since the
administration undertook to lower
the high cost of living through a ma
tion-wide campaign one year ago
Meeker admits the failure of the adj
ministration in the statement that
mo permanent reduction a be ex-
pected in living costs for years"

We find ourselves In hearty accord
with these few remarks from brother
Elbcrt Rcdc cf the Cottage Grove
Sentinel;
"only a few years age the country
editor was one ~ the chief butts ot
the Jokes in the funny papers, lie
was represented with baggy trous-
crs. the western extremity Of which
was much despatched, His frame
was devoid Of tho rulund aNolriupois
which is an accompaniment Of life
Of ease and afflucncc, Pumpkins
and vegetables received ON subserip-
tion were scattered about the office
and the Office towel stood guard be-
hind the door-almost diSdaining
support Of any kind.
But now, how times have changed!
He who once was a suppliant ut the
feet of the political, boss, who was
grateful for the cnconiums ON the
power Of the press and accepted such
as coin Of the realm in payment for
good advertising space. is no longer
a suppliant at anyone's feet, His
business has become regular bust
ness. His space has become n rcgu-
lar commodity that sells like yard
are over the store counter. The M
fluenee Of his editorial columns has
become real influence which none
can buy; and il any doubt longer re-
mains that the country editor has be-
come imbued with the Importance OF
his position in the state and nation
we would respectfully call the atten'
tion of the doubters to the fact that
the next president Of these United
States will be country editor

Railroad passenger and freight
rates have all along been too low in
comparison with the ever-rising cost
Of everything else. This j. the prin-
eipal reason why the railroads lost
money under government control and
are in difficulties under private con-
troll. Those who travel and ship by
rail will have to make up their minds
to hereafter pay more money for the
privilege, in order to help meet the
5000 900 900 increase in the railroad
payroll. After all. the fare is gem
orally the least expense ot rail-
travel, while 30 percent increase
in freight rates will not make much
difference in the cost of pair of
shoes or suit of clothes. Once
condemned MS "soulless corpora
tions," the railroads have in recent
years been getting decidedly the
worst of it. once powerful, they are
now helpless-the shackled il gigan-
tic slaves Of f.the public. They are
entitled to their innings.
