mission. By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
Spurred on by the welcome, If long
delayed action of the chief executive,'
all avnllnble forces of the federnl gov
ernment nrc devoting themselves to
the task of reducing tho cost of liv
ing, and they nrc receiving the en
thusiastic co-operntlon of state nnd
municipal bodies nnd ofllclals nil over

Attorney General Palmer sent out
Instructions and authority to confiscate
nt once honrded food stocks, nnd inrge
quantities of foodstuffs In warehouses
were seized In Chattnnooga, Tampa,
Jacksonville, Tin.; Fort Sam Houston,
Tex., and other places. In every ease,
according to Mr. Palmer's Instructions,
the mimes of the hoarders and the
amounts of food seized were made pub
lic, for It was thought the publicity
would result In the Immediate release
of excessive amounts of foodstuffs
that have been withheld from con
sumption. Tho attorney general cen
tered his attention especially on Chi
cago, not only becnuse It Is the great
est food storage center of the world,
but because he bad learned the spec
ulators there had been particularly and
perniciously active. The Chicago
packers, nnturally, nre the chief tar
gets, because they are alleged to be
In control of the cold-storage business,
hot only there but nil over the coun
try. This they deny. Senator McKel
lar has Introduced n bill for federal
Regulation of cold-storage plants and
n supporting It he told of the vast
amounts of poultry, eggs und butter
In storage nnd of the apparent exorbi
tant profits made on those commodi
ties by some middlemen. Louis Swift
says he has been nnd Is In fnvor of
regulation of storage methods; and
President Horn of the Amerlcnn Re
frigerating association asserts bis or
ganization would not object to reason
able regulatory measures, but that
most of the suggested pluns are too
drastic.
The government's fight against the
sugar hoarders nlso centered in Chi
cago, and the first test case Is that
against the officials of the Central Sil
ver company who were arrested a
week or more ago. Henry II. ltnlnpp,
bend of the sugar distribution com
mittee of the food administration, said
tin- situation was serious, as ennners
nnd dealers were clnuiorlng In vain
for sugar. The railway shopmen's
strike entered Into this, as 20,000.000
pounds of migar was delayed In Cali
fornia by luck of cars. Mr. ltolapp
said that In n few days the nrrlvnl of
cane sugar from New Orleans nnd beet
KUgsr from the West would flood the
market.
The entire food crusade bad Its ef
fect on retail prices, In some Instances
only slight nnd In others, notably po
tatoes, very morked. The federal
agents Intend to go nfter the retail
grocers und butchers for profiteering,
us well ns after the bigger game, and
before long tho suffering consumer
may get relief that will actually affect
Ills bank roll.
In Roston n grand Jury Investigation
elicited the rather surprising Informa
tion tbnt the American people demand
shoes of high grade and high price nnd
scorn the cheaper grades, of which the
manufacturers say they have lurge
stocks. In u wny this Is borne out by
tho stntcmeiit of n Ilerlln paper that
American shoe dealers are making
strenuous efforts to And a suitable
nwntn ""Hftr 'm&w i- m '"""i ' ity
market for their goods In fiermnny.
The witnesses in llostnu said their
margin of profit was no larger than
when shoes were selling at much lower
prices, anil that a decline might be
expected, perhaps n year hence.
The Rrltlsh, too. are attacking the
cost of living problem with vigor. The
house of commons bad before It a bill
to curb profiteering, and after u bard
fight the measure was amended so as
to empower the board of trade, after
an Investigation, to lis wholesale and
retnll prices. Sir Auckland (ieddes,
minister of national service, said this
would operate In enses where com
munities were likely to be bled by any
combination, national or international,
for the purpose of rulslng prices; and
Andrew Ronnr Law made It clear that
the government had no Intention of es
tablishing a general system of price
fixing throughout the country.
Rclglum is suffering, like most of the
rest of the world, and the Inbor party
there has suggested to the prime min
ister n series of measures to arrest the
Increasing prices of necessaries, to en
courage the home growing of food nnd
to Insure the equal distribution of Im
ports. The party wants the govern
ment to fix the prices of foodstuffs and
to control the prices of conl nnd cloth
ing. Paris was the scene of some lively
scrapping Inst week between the food
vendors In the markets and the price
vigilance committees nnd would-be
purchasers. The committees endeav
ored to prevent foodstuffs bought by
the hotels and other large consumers
from leaving the markets, asserting
that the willingness' of those buyers
to pay any prices, however high, re
sulted In the raising of all prices. Dur
ing I'e fighting ninny stalls anil shops
were looted.
The labor situation In the United
States did not show marked Improve
ment. In spite of all efforts to make
them return to work, the striking rail
way shopmen In many localities were
obdurate, and the officers of their In
ternational union were compelled to
threnten them with expulsion from the
union If they did not resume their la
bors. Then delegates representing
500,000 shopmen met In Chicago and
voted to go back to work.
Before August 25 n general strike
of steel workers throughout the coun
try may he declared. The men hnve
been taking n vote on the question In
all the plants. They demand $1 an
hour, a 4-Miour week and better work
ing conditions. Such n strike will af
fect more thnn a million men.
As congress has not yet acted on
the Plumb plan, the mil wny brother
hoods are waiting. Mcnnwhlle the
Plumb plan Is getting some very hard
knocks from Industrial and railway
experts, some of whom nssert it would
Increase the cost of living. Charles
Plez says the Plumb bill Is about as
bad as It could be made, adding: "As
a shipper nnd citizen. I should like to
be told what ndvantage or profit the
public will get outside of the privilege
of paying the yearly deficit." Mr.
Plumb told the house committee on In
terstate commerce that he either had
or could procure evidence proving that
a systematized plundering of all the
railroads has been conducted under
the direction of the Morgan and Rock
efeller banking Interests.
More Interesting than Important was
the strike of the members of the
Actors' Equity association, which,
starting In New York, spread to Chi
cago. A number of thenters In both
cities were forced to close their doors.
Tho nctors demanded recognition of
their association nnd various reforms
In the conditions of working. The dis
pute wns carried Into court by Injunc
tion proceedings.
A situation arose at the Chicago
stockyards which may teach union la
borers a lesson In the mntter nf ob
serving their contracts. Federal Judge
Alschuler, mediator, ruled that the
employees who quit work during the
recent race riots had violated their
pledge not to strike for one year and
thus hnd lost their seniority rights.
Union ofllclals objected violently to
this, but It seemed likely most of the
packing house workers would nbldo
by Judge Alschuler's rulings, for tho
present nt least.

Considerable uneasiness, not to sny
anxiety, was caused In the capitals
of the allied nations by the news that
the IColchak government, of western
Siberia was "on the run" If not quite

The Roumanians who occupied
Rudupest were u stubborn lot and
flatly refused to take orders from the
allied commission there f.u get out
again, declaring tliey wo.ild remain
until a stable government was estab
lished. The peace council nf Paris
was a bit flabbergasted and feared
that If Roumiintn were permitted to
defy Its orders, Germany nnd other
enemy countries might be encouraged
to do likewise. The Roumanians
threatened that If they were forced to
withdraw they would strip Hungary of
everything portable, and Indeed they
nre said to be doing that now. Their
npresentntlves in Rudnpcst said the
only policy for Hungary Mas union
with Roumnuiu under a Roumanian
king. Antonesco, tho Roumanian min
ister to Paris, says Rounninla dots not
favor the Installation of Archduke Jo

but the peace council was hopeful of
ac amicable settlement.

After long delay, the Itrltlsh gov
ernment has found a man to represent

ily. Viscount Grey has agreed to fill
the post of ambassador until a perma

next year. Great responsibility at
taches to the position Just now, for
llniinclal und treaty relations between
the two countries must be readjusted.
The London press predicts Hint he
will have some difficulties, and the
Dally News says his path will not be
smoothed by the Itrltlsh government's
"sustained refusal to make any ap
proach to a solution of the Irish prob

It Is loniowhnt strange that the les
son committee should select ibis
Scripture n a temperance lesson, for
it says nothing about temperance as
ordinarily understood. Total absti
nence from Intoxicating liquor should
be the law of every Christian's life,
but It Is not so taught in this Scrip
ture. I. Daniel Te3ted (vv. 5-7).
Daniel, while a tender youjh. was
torn from home ties and made a cap
tive In a foreign land to be trained for
service at the royal court. In or
der to be of the largest service it was
necessary that lie be brought to love
the king and nation, and he detached
from his own people and religion. To
accomplish this they
I. Appointed him a dally provis
ion of the king's meat and wine (v. 5).
This was for a twofold purpose: (1)
To gain the good will of Daniel and
his friends. Such recognition would
encourage them to give themselves up
to the king's service. (U) To supply
them with food deemed suitable for
their' physical and mental develop
ment. To partake of the food of
fered was against Daniel's religion.
His conscience would not nllow him
to partake thereof. Doubtless the meat
and wine had connection with heathen
feasts.
". Changed name (v. 7).
The object of this was to obliterate
natlounl and religious connection, nnd
to Identify them with the heathen
people. Daniel, which means "God
Is my Judge," was changed to Relte
.shazzar, meaning Rel's prince; Han
nninh, which menns "The gift of Je
hovah," to Shiidrnclt. meaning illu
mined by the sun god Rak; Mlshacl.
which means "Who is as God." to.
Mesliacb. meaning who Is like the god
dess Sheshach; Azariali, which means
"Jehovah Is our help," to Abed-uegn,
meaning the servant of Ncgo. Rehlnil
tills change of names was the attempt
of Satan to wipe from the minds of
these young men the name of the true
God and to cause them to lose their
place of separation.
II. Daniel Standing the Test (vv.
S-M).
Though a captive In a foreign land,
Daniel purposed In bis heart that he
would not defile himself with tho
king's meat and wine. Ills home train
ing was such that In this trying hour
he bad tho decision of character to
stand firm for Ills conviction. He
obeyed the dictates of ills conscience.
Willie unflinchingly loyal to God ho
did not lose his gentlemanly courtesy.
He requested to be tested ten days
In the food which the law of his God
allowed, agreeing to abide by the re
sults. Loyalty to God and conscience
need not Interfere with gentlemanly
behavior.
III. Daniel's Reward (vv. 15-21).
1. Physical health (v. 15). Godly
nnd temperate living pays. The king's
meat and wine would have been very
palatable, but to have partaken would
have been a compromise with his con
science. The exercise of self-control
In this matter kept his conscience
pure, and nlso Improved his physical
health.
2. Slentnl growth (vv. 17-20). Ho
was ten times the superior of his as
sociates. .1. Socially (v. 10). He stood before
tho king. He not only was next to the
king, but became president of the col
lege of wise men, nnd prime minister
of the empire, continuing througn sev
eral dynasties (v. 21).
4. Spiritually (v. 17). God re
vealed to him Nebuchadnezzar's dream
and gave him visions stretching across
the history of the world.
The secret of Daniel's success wns
(1) conscientiousness; (2) loynlty to
God; (!J) decision of character; (-1)
prayerfulness; (5) diligence; (fl) cour
tesy. Our Heavenly Father.
All of heaven and all of earth can
not contnln God. There Is something
of himself left for the hearts of men.
Just as the water which spills out of
the full bucket Is ns good as any of
the water In the bucket, so that part
of God which dwells In the henrts of
men Is Just as much of God ns that of
himself which dwells In heaven.
Living Influence.
Whatnver definitions men have giv
en of religion, I find none so accurate
ly descriptive of It as this; that It Is
such a belief of the Rlble as maintains
u living Influence on the heart nnd
life. Cecil.
Result of Christian Temper.
Peuce is the proper result of the
Christian temper. It Is tho grent kind
ness which our religion doth us, that
It brings us to n settledness of mind,
nnd a consistency within ourselves.
Dlshop Patrick,
