Fear of such an eventuality was re etntly given expression in a resolution adopted by the Committee on Legisla tion and Reform of the Methodist Min- Inf-Afinl AftcnMntlnti. Judge Gordon answers the objection by exposing what he says is a mistnken legal conclusion. He points out that th. law of the State, mndc by represent.- ' fives of all voters in the Commonwealth, is superior to any local legislation that might be passed. When there is ap- ' parent conflict such, for instance, as where a municipality adopted liberal , Sunday laws in opposition to the so- . mlli TOne Laws of 1704 the local i ordinance would fall and be unenforce able. Points in Mr. Gordon's Opinion Mr. Gordon's opinion Is as follows ; 'n'nxflnr thn noint that the giving of home rule to cities, in the event of a , new Constitution neing uaoiueu, uuriu enable the cities to override the so railed Blue Laws, I am very glad to stato in my opinion this ia clearly wrong in ita legal conclusion. "The Dine Lw were passed by the Legislature in the exorcise of the sor trelni police power of the State. No municipality could override them and no municipal ordinance wild nullify them in any respect whatever. The Legisla ture alone can abrogate, alter or amend them. No one need have any anxiety on this point." P. O. S. of A. Statement tv. Ponnsi-lrnnla State Cnmn.

The central board of the Unionist Party, which is in power, has given a vote of confidence to Jose G. Torres, acting head of the party, following the Indorse ment of Governor B.

There was one dissenting vote, that of Oayentano Sol y Cuchi, an advocate of Independence. The Unionist Party, which previously stood for the inde pendence of Porto Rico, thus has com pletely reverted its policy.

We are in direct touch with the producers and are therefore able to give our customers the benefit of all market changes. To give you a concrete idea of the tremendous output in our 196 Sanitary Meat Markets, we mention the quantities required in just three lines for this week's selling: 600 Corn-fattened Cattle 3SOO Tender Spring Lambs 7500 Milk-fed Chickens The above are in addition to the large quantities of other meats we sell, such as Pork and Pork Products, Fresh and Smoked Hams, etc., etc., etc. These cattle, lambs and chickens were carefully selected out of herds and flocks of thousands and shipped here and killed under Government supervision, then delivered direct to our Stores. That is why our Markets enjoy such an enviable reputation for sweet, fresh meats.

Two million hens and over are required to fill our egg requirements. The daily potato consumption of Philadelphia is about 20 cars yet in one week recently we distributed 77 carloads of potatoes!
