SOUNDS UPPISH: And so we

|
are to have Senator Prince. which
has quite princely sound. His
affable demeanor, his buttonhol-
ing proclivities in the lobby and
his manner of reasoning with any
body, anywhere, anytime-never
too busy-will make of him like
able, Influential senator without
any tendency to barnstorm the
senate or push himself forward.
In Senator L. Ben Prince and
Representative L. L. Burgin Hen
Jacksonville will have able. level
headed representation in the gen.
eral assembly.
THEY SAID 1T: Henderson
county voters said "please con-
tinue to give us the privilege of
electing sheriff and coroner
every two years" to the tune of
403S to 2413. Four years is a
mighty long time to have to wait
for an opportunity to knife a fell
low that you don't like.
GUST POORLY, THANK
YOU" That's what many of our
old-timers say when greeted by
their friends, which seems express
sive of the health of Henderson
county citizens on election day.
Two hundred ninety-six voters are
just too many to be too sick to 90
to the polls, or our climate is fail
ing.
And we. seem to be prone to
galavant around a good deal when
1880 voters are out of the county
and vote an absentee ballot. Even
a blind person can see through
some things. This is a much
abused law that had good motives
in the beginning.
YOUNGER BLOOD: Has the
world trend Of looking to young
people to run the universe affect
ed Henderson county politics.
Think of J. NJ. Stewart, George
W. Fletcher, L. B. Prince, Donno
u. Wilkie and John w. Drake and
the capers they cut up Tuesday as
candidates for office for the first
time in general election. They
made remarkable races in the light !
of all circumstances. These are
all clean-cut young men, bearing
no old battle scars, and l am Won
dering if their uprightness as citi-
zens counted for anything when
the impression is out that "any
old thing goes in politics" It's
healthy sign. Mr.. brakes leader
ship of the Republican ticket
makes him power to be reckoned |
with by his party in the future.

TRADE VOLUME
IS UNCHANGED

UN.S.) Business conditions
generally showed little change
during recent weeks, the Federal
Reserve Board reported today in
its monthly survey Of economic
conditions.
Industrial production for Feb
ruary showed a slight decrease
under January, due principally to
reduced mining operations and a
smaller output Of oil products.
Factory employment rose
slightly by the middle Of Febru-
ary, but not as much as is usual
at this season. the board said.
Employment in trade, at mines
and on railroads was lower than
in January.
Activity at steel mills during
the first three weeks of this
month was about the same as in
February, the board noted.

Donald, who lives at 704 Third

warned him against selling shoe

he found him disobeying the

DEMANDS RETRACTION
He demanded a retraction "in
justice both to yourself and to
the medical profession.
Mr.. Scott, in his statement, de-
clared:
81 made the statement on
what were purported to be facts
as presented to me by the Group
Health Association. They say
the statement was true. DR..
McGovern says that it is not
true. This seems to indicate
that an investigation of the en-

answer"
He said further that from DR..
McGovern's letter, he gathered
that the Medical Society would be
willing to support his request for
an investigation.
Representative Shafer con-
demned the "unsocial tactics" of
the medical society.

Mr.. Shafer, a member of the

would confer as soon as possible
with Representative Virginia E.

mittee chairman, in an effort to
have the matter laid before the
full committee at its next meeting
on Wednesday.
"If these are the tactics to

Justice George Sutherland,
whose recent retirement took from
the Supreme Court one of its
staunchest conservatives, today
counted his 76 years, found them
satisfactory, and prepared for new
work, possibly in the Court Of Ap-

"I don't believe anything

THOMAS PUSHES.
PLAN FOR D. c..
PARKING METERS.
Oklahoma Senator
Seeks Modification

The hotly debated question Of
parking meters for Washington
streets was brought up again today
as the House and Senate District
Committee conferees met on the
1899 District supply bill.
The House committee has al
ready turned down the proposal
to install the meters, but Senator
Elmer Thomas CD Of Oklahoma.
chairman Of the Senate Subcom-
mittee on District Appropriations,
declared that he will insist that
the meters be included in the pro
gram.
WOULD AID PARKING
The meters. Senator Thomas
holds, would act as a deterrent to
downtown parking, thus helping
with the traffic problem. They
would also bring in considerable
revenue, he contends.
In view of the House rejection
Of the plan, Senator Thomas is
seeking q compromise, some Inodi-
fcation Of plans for installation Of
the meters.
REFUSED PROPASAL
At the first conference the
meter plan survived when other
District projects were traded out
Of the SAT 100000 supply bill, but
last week the House refused the
proposal when the bill came up
for q vote.
Representative Jack Nichols
Cd. Of Oklahoma. is one who
9avors the installation Of the
meters.

| at a Glance
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Coiun1n;sf

Washington, Jan. 25.-One of my
esteemed readers writes in, taking ex.
ception to a reference recently made
to the "saturation" of certain of ou1
markets-that is to say, so large q
supply OF products on hand that de-
mand cannot absorb any more OF
them, thus forcing a showdown ir
production until consumerdofn has
had time to assimilate some of the
already existing accumulation.
This critic takes the position that
there can be no such thing as an over
supply Of merchandise generally I'M
til every one has as much of every
thing as he would like to have if he
could pay for which, my reader
submits, will be never.
No truer statement ever was mad
by any one.
All I intended to imply was that a
market reaches the saturation point
at the limit of it's customers ability
to continue buying.
Unbalanced Production.
I do think that there may be I'M
balanced production-an unmarked
able volume of some things; a short
age of others.
Long ago, in the then developing
northwest, where / grew up, we had
country newspaper editor of the
name of Charlie Collins very public
spirited chap and a religious cuss,
who often was asked to lead in pray
or at one or another of the local meet
ing houses.
Il recently saw this story reprinted
by fellow columnist, but it's chest
nut of half century's standing, and
it originated with Charlie Collins.)
There was a local depression. Many
folk were suffering. The pastor, of
the First M. E. church, if l remember
correctly, invited Charlie to pray for
them. He responded readily.
The Prayer.
81 beg, Heavenly Father" he said
reverently, shelter and clothing for
