TO FALL DOWN i Country Described by Bishop Stuntz as One That Will , BeSlow in Fitting for Self Government. "All too tardy has been the ar rival in Vladivostok of the expedi tion of the allies of which the United States trorfps arc forming a part," asserted Bishop Homer C. Stuntz of the Methodist church in his address at the public affairs luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce Friday noon. "Russia was never a nation, even under the palmiest days of the czar," said the bishop. "Russia has never been more than a vast agglomeration of heterogeneous and incomglomer-ato- peoples. Russia is like an old wooden barret which has finally fal len to pieces." , .Bishop Munte has spent 20 years in the orient as a missionary. "The Impact of the War on the Far East wheif the War is Won" was his sub ject. "Hinduism is autocracy gone to seed," said the bishop, "and the caste system is nothing but the worst fea tures of trade unionism gone to. seed. Christianity medns democracy,' the right of the individual to become what he wants to be. But democracy cant be created out of paper programs over night; And, it will take years for the far east to become ready ,for self-govern ment I he Philippines have suffered the blight of autocracy far too long to be ready for self-government now.

The retailers and peddlers sought to put over a similar stunt, but there was a protest. As a result, 14 of the re tailers and peddlers were before County Food Administrator Allen yes terday afternoon, called in to explain why they should boost the price from 50 to 60 cents per 100 pounds. The advance has ben held up by Mr. Allen. At the hearing, the ice men were. given until next Tuesday to file af fidavits and expense accounts showing the achial cost in connection with the handling and delivery of ice. May 15 of this year the retail ice dealers and the peddlers were before Mr. Allen and then assured him that during the present .season, to homes, ice would be delivered at 50 cents per 100 pounds. The proposed advance of 10 cents was' without notice to the food administration and was put in effect by several of the dealers. However, they have all agreed to go back to the old prices and continue them in. effect until Mr. Allen can di gest the figures to be submitted next Tuesday. Not Many Bookkeepers. At the hearing yesterday, few of the dealers could tell definitely what it is costing them to do business, though they all assured Mr. Allen that they are barely making a living. L. U. Gregory, however, keeps books and from his records he showed that with the sales from his one wagon,' after paying all expenses, he has $4.80 per day- net profit. He tm ploys two men as helpers and his net profit is $2 a day on the work of one of them and $1.50 on the other. Other dealers thought that during the summer months their net profits would be around $50 to $60 a week. but contended that during six months of the year they only made expenses, or a trifle more. ? - , AT THE THEATERS Eva Tanguay romes fo the Or- pheunv today as the stellar event to open the season ot big time vaude ville.
