the weather and the resultant loss of
profits, the Standard Oil Co. of Indi-
ana announced a general reduction in
its market price of gasoline in the
middle western states in which it OPP
crates. Gasoline prices dropped to
cents a gallon. This reduction, to-
gether with two reductions during the
summer, brings the price of gasoline

mer touring and holiday outings, re-

improvements in Lancaster.

The Herald would suggest as an I'M
provement to the square that the IN
side walk around the county building
be entirely removed and the street
Widened to afford more room Tor mot
or traffic and parking. The walk mas
little use and the street is entirely 100
narrow for present conditions. rms
would result in greatly improved
square to say nothing OF the conVen-
fence and safety.
Removal of the light and phone
wires from the streets to the alleys
on the square and streets adjacent
would also be a great improvement.
Ultimately these streets should be
paved on a basis of One-th1rd cost TO
the city and one-third to each prop
erty owner.
We note the great improvement one
storekeeper made by remodeling his
store front and spending a few dollars
on paint. He has one of the sllckest-
looking store fronts to be found III
small town anywhere.
Our "suggester" being working good
we would suggest further that a lot OF
tree trimming and removal could De
done with good advantage all over
town. A lot of those old forest mon
archs are a menace now and an OBJ
struction to light and air. Iney
should be removed Of course, where
advisable, young trees should De
planted to replace the old ones
We suggest these as improvements
to the city that entail no great ex-
pense. Think them over and II you
approve-endorse the view. We will
get what we want if we talk it and go
after it. It's all for the common good.

Johns assured him that beans could
be raised to advantage here, Mr.. Ro-
brecht was somewhat skeptical but he
made the experiment.

JOE OATES RESIDENCE
 CONSUMED BY FLAMES

The Joe Oates residence, on the op- posite side of the bridge spanning Clear creek was entirely consumed by fire recently, says the Kusko Times and made an exceedingly hot blaze while it lasted, and it was only a mat ter of some twenty minutes, before the building was burned to the ground.
 Mir. and Mrs. John Rieck and fam fly and Miss Rose Oates occupied the building at the time of the fire.
 So rapid was the outburst of flames, presumably originating from a defec- tive flue, that practically nothing was saved, barring the apparel worn by the unfortunate losers. MT. Rieck lost several valuable papers, a sum of money and watch. Miss Rose Oates is also heavy loser, mainly a chest containing many articles high ly prized by her.
 The building, which was one of the best hereabouts~- was built several years ago by Tom Boyd, who couple of years ago disposed of it to Mr. Oates, who, with his family occupied it until last fall.

HALL CANE A WORLD
 FAMOUS NOVELIST

Sir Hall Caine has been one of Eng lands most popular novelists for sev- eral years and he still continues to be in the best seller class. His popular ity has become widespread in Ameri- ca and the British colonies as in Eng land.
 Caine into prominence concerned his native Isle of Man, the customs and habits of its people. There was an ex- otic flavor about The Deemster, The Manxman, and other of his early nov els that caught the popular fancy.
 While these novels were most sue cessful, The Christian" outsold them all. It's vogue still continues. It was made into stage play in the early years of the century and was a popus lar success. The late Edward Morgan and Miss Viola Allen played the lead ing roles in New York.
 About ten years ago, Vitagraph made a screen version of the story, and now Goldwyn Pictures Corpora tlon has made feature photoplay ot the Christian, which will be seen at the Liberty Theatre tonight and to- mrorow night.

 ture. No advance in price.

Was 1t Important?

The youthful son of we-knOwn New York fnan-
cier wishing play in jazz band recently joined the
Musicians Union.
The daily newspapers devoted columns of valuable
space to the young mans action and nterveWers and
camera men galore camped on his trail
That the event was news goes without saying. Rich
young don't join trade union every day. But was
the news really important? The only to this is
mo-
Infinitely important would have been large in
crease in the general membership of the Musicians Union
Yet this wouldn't have drawn line in the daily press.
Why is this so? Why should the newspapers publish
trivial to the exclusion of matters of real import
ance?
The answer is simple. The papers, most of them are
not as interested in the vital they in the ud
and the sensational about what is going unless it
directly rebounds to their profit
This condition is bound to conue until Labor makes
its own press strong and powerful enough to compete with
the sensatiOnmongering daies Then and only then will
the real of the world be given adequate treatment
and presentation

MARRIED WOMEN
FORCED TO LABOR
MARY WINSLOW

Washington, March 15.-"Make it
possible for the normal married man
to support his family according to a
decent American standard of living
and the problem of married women in
industry will take care of itself"
This is the conclusion of Mary N.
Winslow's address, Married Women
in Industry" which is being circulated
In pamphlet form by the United
States women's bureau.
Tons of white paper has been used
in discussing this question, and solu
tons without number have been
offered. Mary N. Winslow sweeps
these aside, and in a few words sums
up the cause and the cure: Married
are forced in. Pay the husband a
sufficient wage and the wife will stay
home."
The writer refuses to confuse wom-
EN- architects and women shopkeepers
with women wage earners. She shows
how confused some writer's ON this
subject are by citing one individual
who made this reference to working
women: "The perfect wife, devoted
mother and successful working wom-
an, queen Victoria.
There are some women who enter
profession because she has not
enough interest in her family to keep
her busy at home," said Miss Wins
low, who emphasized that her study
refers to women employed in TYPICAL
woman-e employing industries and not
to professions or special types of
women.
Regardless of their earning capac-
ity and the length of their employ
ment," says the writer, married
women are in industry for one purpose
and, generally speaking, for one pur-
pose only-to provide necessities fos
their families or to raise their stand
ard of living.
I'm one study we found that practi-
cally all women who were wives or
mothers-95 per cent of them, to be
exact--contributed all Of their earn
ings to their families"
Attention is called to the two stand
ards that are applied to married wom-
en- in industry. When times are BOOM
ing they are welcomed. When times
are dull the married woman who
works sis said to be a menace to the
social standards of the community"
The address includes infant NOR
tality figures from the federal chill
dren's bureau which shows the price
babies pay when their mothers are
forced to work in factory or mill.
In Manchester the mortality among
the babies of mothers who went out
to work during the first year of the
baby's life was 227.5 per 1000, COM
pared with 1889 for babies of mothers
who remained at home and were not
gainfully employed.

The plan to levy tax not to exceed
| LIS mills for the maintenance of SUI
pervised play for children may be
placed before the voters of Champaign
at a special election this spring.
The city commissioners are disposed
to act on the opinion of Attorney Gen
eral Brundage who states in a letter
to Attorney Cline that the commits
sioners have authority to call an cleo
ton for this special purpose.
Before receiving the Attorney Gen.
erals letter there was a difference OF
legal opinion as to just what action
the council could take.
Opposition to the plan, however, is
sure to be encountered by citizens
who feel that the burden of taxation
should be diminished rather than in
creased, even in this small sum.
At practically every tax paying
time there is this opposition, usually
taking the form of a sort of frenzy
Apparently people, to hear them talk
imagine that the government should
be operated without expense, and that
the comforts and conveniences OF
civilization should be attained without
the discomfort derived from taxation
One might think that such oppo
sition would accomplish its end; but
it never does. Not in the history o.
the American Republic has there beer
comfortable decrease in taxes; no.
is it probable that there will be.
All attempts to materially decreas,
taxes are sure to end in disappoint
ment. In nation that has had sucl
phenomenal growth improvements d.
not keep pace with the increase il
population. Public buildings are in
adequate; roads are not built TO
automobiles; educational institutions
particularly the public schools, ar
seriously hampered for funds to prop

Within two weeks it will be de-
termined who shall be the standard
bearers of the two leading political
parties in the state of Illinois.
The Review, in supporting the can
didacy of few aspirants, has not in
tentionally been dictatorial in an
nouncing its preference, nor has it in
tended any personal antagonism to
men whom it does not favor.
The contest throughout the nation
is not between men, but between poll
cies. 1t has been the aim of The
Review to lead its readers to sustain
the standards Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor at the polls, and in
order to realize this aim, it has been
compelled to discriminate in favor of
candidates whose policies are in
harmony with Labor.
In this election all members of the
Federation of Labor should bear in
mind that the right solution of Ameri-
can problems is the paramount ques-
ton. Personal friendships to this end
must be of secondary importance. II
we must choose between the two a
bad man on good platform is prefer
able to a good man on a bad platform;
but fortunately the voter is not COM
PEELED to make this choice. For prac-
tically every office there are good men
available ON good, sound platforms
that conform to the policies of Labor
The choice, therefore, should not be
difficult to determine.
In endorsing candidates who are
before the ensuing primaries the Twin
City Federation of Labor has pub
Ideally endorsed those candidates who
heretofore have served the public in
accordance with Labor's policies, be.
lieving that once committed to the in
terests of Labor, they will continue in
like service.
