DIR. LAYrON's DISTINCTION.

PARTISAN SKIRMISHING.

Probabilities of bitter factional
fight at tho Republican primaries OF
this year. for control OF the party or
ganization, are melting much interest
In political circles The situation. how
ever, has not yet developed elements
that will afford basis for revealing
estimate, but there are indications
that tho leadership of Senator Cole
man du Pont will be seriously dis
putcd and an endeavor made TO un-
horse him.
Most OF the party rank and file. 1t
may be said. is marking time waiting
for definite developments, although
many OF them. including local work
ers. are DESTROYS OF contest. as It
would promise good pickings for those
engaged in the detailed work OF the
factions. Many workers would be dis
appointed at the prevalence Of party
harmony.
Some Republican State papers that
are known 10 be controlled by influ-

TAX EXPEDIENCY AND MORALS.

Business leaders are now agreed that
the revival OF trade depends chiefly on

consumers. Efforts are accordingly be-
ing made TO reduce the costs of pro-
duction and distribution 70 a point
which will permit dealers 10 sell goods

bring them a reasonable profit. As one
means towards this end the country's 5
