AFTER FURNITURE MEN.

One of the most sweeping indict- ments of business concerns in the action of Federal grand jury in Chicago, which found true bills against 269 furniture manufacturers for price-fxing, eliminating competi- tion and maintaining exorbitant prices.
 According to the evidence on which these indictments were based, these firms control about 75 per cent of the furniture business of the United States and through the power of organization virtually dictate pric, es for all of it.
 It is asserted that the combination has been in process of development more than ten years and that the dis proportionately high price of furni ture as compared with relative prices of other commodities has been due to trade agreements made for the deliberate purpose of exploiting the public
 Retail dealers have not been in volved, because they have been forced to pay the unreasonable prices charg ed by the fanufacturers' combine anG naturally had to make retail prices accordingly.

Holy Year Throngs Change
 Rome's Complexion Daily

ROME, July 10 (P)-Rome cannot compare with New York, London or Paris as a cosmopolis but the 1925 Holy Year which is now bringing the city an average of 10000 pilgrim ar rivals daily has given the city type of cosmopolitanism of which none can boast.
 Whereas the sidewalks of Times Square, Piccadilly Circus or the Place de rOpera are thronged nearly every day of the year with polyglot crowds representing scores of different na- tions and as many tongues the com pleXion of the main thoroughfares of Rome in point of foreign pedestrians changes from week to week almost from day to day.
 One day-when a large group pill grimage from Warsaw has arrived to participate in the Holy Year cere- monies-the streets resound with the harsh accents of the Polish tongue. Then, within few days, not Pole is to be found and instead German Swiss with their quaint peasant costumes walk the streets peering into shop windows.
 The sanctifcation of new French saint at St. Peters basilica brings to Rome scores of thousands of French men and women and for a week noth- ing but French is heard. Almost over night the French disappear and they are succeeded by German and Dutch
 Swarthy Portuguese have their in- ming and are succeeded by blonde Scandinavians. When the Roman has become accustomed to hearing the Spanish language he is greeted by Lithuanian, or Hungarian or English with the accent of Dublin.

Sermons By Wireless
 Exasperate Clergymen

ADDLESTONE, Eng, July 10 (P)- What he describes as "the lazy habit of wireless has been strongly de- nounced by the Rev. A. Cunning, vi car of Addlestone, in his parish maga- zine. There is no longer the pack ed church to which we have been ac- customed during Lent, and the req son for this is the wireless.
 Anybody who thinks he can wor- ship God by lolling back in an easy arm chair and listening by radio to the beautiful singing of the choir at St. So-and-So's, or the oratorical ef- fleets of the Bishop of Kamchatka, is simply living in fools paradise. True worship demands sacrifice People who are too lazy to go upstairs and put their things on and come to the House of God on Gods Day are neg lecting their duty.
 We must face the fact that in wire less has been found another powerful recruit added to the phalanX of coun ter attractions which, in their various ways, continue to keep the people out of the churches"
 The British Broadcasting Company, which controls most of the wireless entertainment in the London area, has recently declined to broadcast Sunday sermons, excepting on rare occasions, because of the objections of ministers that their congregations would be ma terially reduced if the practice was followed generally.

TO QUIT TOMORROW
Few Changes Result From Par

Government Is Held Certain.

BRUSSELS. April 4-Tomorrow's S
parliamentary elections seem to
promise only a few. changes in %he
composition of the Chamber of Rep
presentatives and the Senate. There
will be new government, however,
for Premier Theunis and several of
his ministers are determined to leave
power, and the cabinet has an
nounced its intention to resign to-
morrow night.
The Catholics, who had az seats in
the Chamber and 73 in the Senate,
and the Liberals, who had 33 in the
Chamber and 80 in the Senate. gen
orally are expected to be returned
to power, although there is some
threat of strong gains by the Flem-
ish extremists.
The Chamber. which at present
numbers 16s seats, will add one dep
uty. as Eupen and Malmedy, recov-
cred from Germany, will be repre-
sented for the first time. The SEN
ate had 153 members.
AS the campaign had been dull, il
is not expected that more than half
dozen seats will change hands. 1t
is considered likely, however, that
the Socialists will lose many votes to
the Communists, but without affect
ing the election of deputies.
The prospect of the return to pow
er of the present Catholic-Liberal
coalition is based on the fact that
this combination polled 1,125,00o
votes in 1921 against 804,o00 by all
other parties, coupled with the gen.
eral belief that there will be no great
changes.

Traffic Director Finds
Youngsters Figure in Large
Percentage of Accidents.

Pointing out that children are vic
Tins in a large percentage of traffic
accidents, Director of Traffic Eldridge
announced today that he is consider
ing steps that might be taken by his
office to prevent youngsters from
playing in the streets.
Mr.. Eldridge is not sure a regula-
tion could be made to cover the ques-
ton. but he Is considering what steps
the police may be able TO take to pre-
vent roller skating, the riding of
wagons and similar toys in the road
way of traffic.
More Fairgrounds Suggested.
"of course" Mr. EIdridge said, the
ultimate solution of this problem is
the esta ablishment OF more play
grounds But a great deal can be
done in this matter by constant edu-
cation"
The director will propose to school
officials that representative of his
office, and sometimes himself. make
talks In the schools on the dangers
OF playing in the streets. Organiza-
tion of junior safety councils in the
schools also was suggested as a move
toward cutting down the traffic death
toll among children.
Revising Trafic Rules.

is working daily on the tentative
draft of a revised set Of traffic rules
to the submitted to the Commission
ers for approval before the end of

LONDON, April 4.-The mystery of
the gloomy old Bloomsbury mansion
where Granville Cooke and Selwyn
Foster met strange deaths. was be-
lieved nearer solution today with the
conclusion Of post-mortem examina-
tions of the bodies. The police are
in possession of great accumula-
tion of detail concerning the lives
of Cooke, an inventor-poet, and Fos-
ter, a young man-about-town, which
1T is expected will be presented at
todays inquest.
The first suspicion that Foster died
several hours before Cooke and from
poison rather than from the effects
of coal gas, from which his com
panion died. is reported to have been
confirmed by the poSt-mortem exam
inations. The police, however, have
not yet revealed whether the indica-
tons were that Foster had killed HIM
self or whether poison was admin
istered by some other person.
1t is known that Cooke had the
power Of attorney over certain money
that would eventually have come TO
Foster from a trust fund, and the
police now have discovered that
Foster had also executed another
power of attorney to an unnamed

for competitive effort.
Want Fair Competition.
In this new railrrad development
these two young Clevelanders have
taken novel position. They still be-
iieve in railroad competition, but not
unfair and uneven competition. They
do not want the heavyw eight in COM
upetition with the lightweight. So
they have carried the. new phrase in
railroa1ing balanced competition"
The Van Sweringens are quiet, at
tractive, and likeable personalities.
Everything about them and their of
fees gives the impression of order
and distinction. They live together,
travel together. dine together, work
together, these Siamese Twins of the
big business world. Strange to say,
they have no Office in New York.
They are still young men, Q. p. being
45 and NJ. J. two years younger.
AS a result of their successful
methods railroad officials seem gem
orally to believe thai the transporta-
tion act of.1920 should be amended.
They favor additional legislation to
adjust all the legal rights in any
merger as between majority and mi
nority stockholders: at present there
is no way to meet dissenting minor
ity interest. Provision for a less rigid
plan of consolidation is also favored
for the next few years so as to allow
railroad mergers to be completed, even
before any final plan is agreed upon
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. Far better to permit the
evolutionary process of railroad
grouping to continue as It has been
proceeding for many decades, they
say.

THE EVOLUTION TRIAL

The famous Monkey" trial at
Dayton, Tennessee, appears to be
the principal topic to ill up front
page space Of the daily news
papers these days. Mr.. Bryan
who is the principal spokesman
against the evolution theory.
gave out a statement some time
ago to the effect that there is a
wide difference between lectur-
ing on evolution and then teach
ing il in the public schools to
children and in this it seems that
he is perfectly right. A lecture
before grown-ups where people
are permitted to attend or stay
away of their own free will and
then teaching il to children in an
institution that they are practi-
cally compelled TO attend are two
different things and especially in
view Of the fact that the teach
ings in the school is the opposite
Of that taught in the home.
But Mr.. Bryan gave out an
other statement more recently
which is too far fetched when he
said regarding the Scopes trial

startling increases in crimes

THE TOURIST TRADE

Much has been written about
the value of the tourist trade and
that Minnesota should cater more
to the tourists. True, they spend
some money while here which we
might as well have as some other
state and especially in view of
the fact that there are many
natural beauty spots to visit here.
Columns have been written about
building good roads and doing
more paving so that tourists
might come this way, but the
first consideration should be our
own settlers in the way of roads.
Paving of course is necessary
where the graveled road cannot
hold up under the strain of great
traffic, but by the way. is il not
monotonous to drive for miles
on pavement? II is too much the
same and the path is narrow
which requires more careful
watching on the part of the
driver. Five or ten miles Of that
seems greatly sufficient. Then
think of driving 100 to 200 miles
on pavement!
But the subject was tourists.
IL is nice to have visitors and
many of them. However, the
benefits derived therefrom are
likely overestimated.
The Anoka Union gives its
version on the subject which is
likely a little too far to the OPP
posite view, in the following
words:
"A million tourists will come to
Minnesota this year. So say the
statisticians. The highway de-
partment is enthusiastic for they
will pay into the highway funds
at rate Of two cents a gallon.
And the st. Cloud Journal-Press
exults over the $40 each they will
leave behind. A million tourists
are coming TO Minnesota this
year. They will strew the shores
of our fair lakes with banana
Feelings and tin cans, bedeck our
roadsides with paper plates and
tin cans, and obstruct our streams
with old tires and tin cans. They
will girdle our birches. lop off
our pines, and tear down our
wild grapevines. They will carve
their initials in our cliffs, and
and scribble their names wher-
ever they can find a wall with
room enough for a signature.
And in all this they viii be as
sisted by a horde of our own
Minnesotans who know enough to
visit our scenes of beauty with
out knowing enough TO preserve
them. A million tourists are
coming to Minnesota this sum-
mer. Heaven help Minnesota"
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1925-07-16

it is "a duel to the death between
evolution and Christianity"
The Duluth Herald comments
in part on that as follows:
Probably Mr.. Bryan, in his
zeal, says more than he means.
Anyway, he says more than is
true.
Whatever the outcome of the
Scopes trial may be, it will not
destroy either evolution or Chris
tianity. Nor will it change
either of them very much.
Neither will it settle for all
time the issue that has been
raised in Tennessee. No matter
what happens to Scopes or to the
law under which he is to be tried,
Christianity will go on, and those
who believe in evolution will con-
tinue TO believe in it. Moreover,
those who doubt evolution will
continue to doubt it, and those
who hold that 1T is entirely pos
sible to believe in some form of
evolution and in Christianity too
will remain about where they
were before the trial"
All the time and money spent
at the Tennessee trial will prob
ably do as much good as the polar
explorations and perhaps less,
anyway it seems like a case of
much excitement wrought up
about a small matter. Why so
much speculation as to the origin
Of man? If it was possible to
discover that the teachings of the
bible in that respect are wrong
would evolution give us a sub
stitute for the moral teachings of
the bible, the church and the Sun
day school? II that were pos
sible then it would be easy to I'M
derstand why the subject would
command the attention, study
and interest of everybody.

A MISUSED TERN

The American has several
times said that the term 100 per
cent Americanism" which is fire.
quently misused is a little too
strong and does not ring beauti-
full to our ears, because it means
so much and few if any can at
tain that goal.
John II. Clarke, former justice
of the United States supreme
court. in an address at Brown uni
versity recently made objection
to the misuse of the term 100
per cent Americanism". Not that
we believe he got his idea from
us but there seems to be desire
within all Of us for company.
I'm a word" he said, 1T seems
to be used chiefly to express an
attitude of self-suffcient super
iority to our neighbors which is
not calculated to promote har-
mony at home, and in foreign re-
lations to cultivate an exaggerat-
ed nationalism."
