CRUSHERS CONFER .
WITH HOOVER

Washington, April 5.-At the con-
clusion of a conference today betwee
representatives Of Southern Cotton
seed crushers and Secretary Hoover
the latter said the problem presented
by the crushers was mainly one of
transportation. :;..
Under present conditions Mr. Hoov-
er declared the crushers can move
their product to Boston by way Of
England, cheaper than they can ship
direct by rail and he indicated that
the government will give considera-
ton to some method for affording re-
lief from existing rates. The con-
ference he said was one of the Sc
ries being held with the cotton men
in cooperation with the war finance
corporation.

liarns case, and that is that peonage
is crime in this country, and that
the system of taking negroes out OF
Jail on bond and working them tends
to the promotion of crime and inter-
feres with the administration Of JUS
tice. Where you find negro out on
bond in cases of this kind, it is a rare
thing that you find him in court at
the first or following term with his
case ready for trial. The party who is
working him is more than anxious
that the relations existing continue,
with the result that cases are contin-
ued from one court to another and
negroes continue in many cases to
work from one term of court to an
other without adequate pay. T..
This practice should be stopped.
We do not say that white farmers
should not take negroes charged with
crime out Of Jail on bond.
. Often this is the only way by which
a negro may obtain legal assistance
for his trial nor do we say that they
should not give them work on the
farms. But when this is done, we are
Of the opinion that the courts should
scrutinize the contract between. the
man charged with crime and his
bondsman, and should see that some
just compensation is paid for the SER
vices of the former. There should be
some provision Of the law that if the
negro is not produced for trial at the
next term of court, the bond is for
feited, and if he is not ready for
trial, he shall not again be entitled
to bail. The state, no less than the
defendant, is entitled to speedy
trial of all alleged offenders. The
public, has an interest in seeing that
guilty men ARE. promptly tried and
sentenced, and that innocent men ae
acquitted as early as is consistent
with the processes Of the court. Any
proeeedure or practice which secures
the continuance of a case from one
term of court to another, except for
unavoidable causes, is not in the
interest Of justice and tends to en-
courage the commission of crime.

OTHER WAY AROUND

Had war in this hemisphere in
volved the Americas as it recently did
Europe and the world: had Europe
become implicated as were we in
Europe, what would we wish her to
do in the settlement? Would we
want her to demand representation
on the commission to change our
boundaries and regulate the relations
between the Americas? Would we
not be better pleased We're she to
say: "Our only interest is to have
such a settlement as is just and con-
duciye to prolonged peace; we ask no
indemnities but in fixing this up
don't infringe on our rights any
where. We won't take part in doing
the fixing, but we would like to have
our man sit in the council and keep
informed of the actual conditions"
Would such an attitude appear that
she was Sinking her responsibilities?
On the contrary would it not indicate
q clearer comprehension of the
equities and a better disposition to
observe them than Europe has here
tofore had to her credit?

PRICES ARE DOWN

In spite of persistent cries that
prices aren't any lower than they
have been" voiced by the type Of per-
son who thinks everything should
cost less, while his individual wages
rise, there is plenty of evidence to
the contrary.
New York papers have been fea-
turing this week a mammoth adver-
tisement by the John Wanamaker
concern which has nation wide rep
utation for honesty and golden rule
policies. This asserts that from
May, 1920, records show, prices not
only stopped going up; they began
coming down" so that since the tide
turned a year ago, prices have been
declining toward the present level,
which bids fair to be a stable one.
This year, the statement adds. re
tail prices are down somewhere
around 80 per cent on the average on
IuOSt VI Iflc we Sell, III IIlduy
cases more than half" There are
statistics given which set forth proof
of Mr. Wanamaker's assertions, by
giving comparison columns for the
prices prevalent in the spring of last
year, with those of the lower level in
this 1921.
While we applaud the going con-
Germ which can respond so rapidly to
the divergences of the wholesale
market, we must realize that only the
establishment like Wanamaker's
which turns over its goods at very
frequent intervals can be so true a
barometer of the big market. Smaller
organizations which stock up on sta
pie supplies only semi annually or
quarterly cannot reduce prices as
rapidly without sustaining huge
losses. though eventually they too,
Will reach the lower plane.

Knights of Forest
Thursday Evening
at Fairfield

Fairfield, Me, May s Sloan
Lodge, F. and A. NJ, will stage it's
famous side degree, knights of the
Forest, Thursday evening. May y,
and all Master Masons in the State
are invited to be present. A banquet
will be served in connection with
the degree.
The origin of the knights of the
Forest is obscure, but it was brought
to this town by soldiers returning
from the Civil War and has been
worked internationally ever since. 1t
has no official connection with Ma
sonry proper, but only Master Ma
sons are eligible. 1t is pure fun
from start to finish and of late years
has won wide renown in Masonic
circles. Just before the World War
it's exemplification had become a
notable annual event. 1t was aban-
doncd during the war and will be
revived in all it's ancient glory this
year. All masons familiar with the
work plan to attend whenever they
can, no matter how far they may
have to travel, and have always felt
well repaid for their trip.
Some wonderful new stunts are be-
ing devised by the Fairfield Lodge
and there will be large class of can
didates. 1t will be an all-night ses-
sion and only true blue Masons will
be able to survive the amount of
laughter that will be forced upon
them

Whiskey Exhibits
Many in New York
Drive on "Wets"

New York. May 7.-Whiskey, whis-
key everywhere, but not a drop to
drink paints a paraphrase picture of
every police station in New York
City.
It has been thus since the recent day
when the police department set out to
help the federal government make
the wet spots in the metropolitan
evaporate. Each of the 1000 blue
coats is a prohibition enforcement
officer instructed to gather evidence
against Volstead Act violators.
They go forth daily to gather tin
bottles, in TASKS. in cases, in kegs and
even in barrels. But there is no ware
house in which to store the liquor I'M
til the day when it is brought into
court. So the lieutenant at each pc
lice station is guardian over the stock
accommodating in his precinct.
Many of the stations were looking
like ill-kept saloons a few days after
the police began hopping up the
