LATE SPRING RETARDS
Trade Conditions Quiet Big Winter
Wheat Yield.
Dun's Review of Trade says thin
week:
"Adverse weather conditions ac
centuate t'ie prevailing quietness In
trade. Kvb'ences of Improvement are
not absent, yet progress is checked by
the backward spring. This retards
distribution of seasonable merchan
dise and has caused accumulation of
goods in some quarters.
"Winter wheat Is In such shape that
even last year's banner yield will
probably be surpassed; everything
points to an increased cotton acreage,
while other leading crops are starting
well. Speculative Influences have Im
parted some firmness to prices of farm
staples, but , in the broad sense, com
modities are still tending downward."

THAW WINS DECISION
Habeas Corpus Writ Will Now Go t
Supreme Court.
Harry Kendall Thaw's petition for
a writ of habeas corpus was granted
by Judge Edgar Aldrich of the United
States district court in Concord, N. H.
The court said, however, that no
order would be issued for the prison
er's discharge from custody until ar
rangements had been completed to
take the case to the United States su
preme court on appeal.
That would probably mean that
Thaw must remain in custody until at
least October. Those best posted tin
the court's procedure predict it may
bo Christmas before the supremo
court passes upon the case Anally.

Dry. Want Constitutional Amendment
Calling For Nationwide Prohibition
Submitted to Status For Approval.
Nationwide prohibition was urged
before the house judiciary committee
at hearings on .the resolution of Rep
resentative Hobson of Alabama, pro
viding for a constitutional amendment.
Dry supporters from many sections
of the country were present to urge
Hobson's resolution which provides
for the submission to the states for
ratification of a constitutional amend
ment directed against the sale or
manufacture for sale of all alcoholic
liquors for beverage purposes.
Led by Representative Hobson the
prohibitionists argued that they were
simply appealing for an opportunity
to present to the people of the country
through tlia state legislatures a defi
nite referendum on the liquor ques
tion. They declared that without refer
ence to the merits of the question the
problem had grown to such propor
tions that it justified bucI) action.
With 55 pt cent of the people of tho
country living In prohibition territory
they asserted, the time had come for
the submission of the question on a
broad national banis.
Representative Hobson contended
that his resolution directed against
the sale of liquor for "beverage pur
poses," would not Interfere with the
state's rights. He said that under the
proposed amendment it would be pos
sible to manufacture liquor "for use"
hut not "for sale." The amendment,
he said, would not Interfere with th
"old drinker drinking" but- would pre
vent the "debauching of youth."
Representative Hobson explained
that the present revenue laws would
he repealed by his amendment, which
would permit anyone to make whisky
for his own use. He declared that
about 55 per cent of the people in the
United States were living in prohibi
tion territory.
Wayne B. Wheeler, superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon league of Ohio, de
clared the fight against the liquor traf
fic had been Anally brought "to the
last stand of the liquor Interests, the
barricade of the national protection
Df the traffic."
II. T. Laughbaum, superintendent of
the league for Oklahoma, declared
that despite state laws and federal
laws in the Indian country of Okla
homa it was impossible to enforce
prohibition while the liquor traffic
continued outside of the state.
William H. Anderson, president of
Lhe New York Anti-Saloon league,
placed in tiie record a letter addressed
to a whiskv "cure" concern at Dwight,
III., and signed by a distillers' dis
tributing company at Kansas City, Mo.
."Our cu tomers are your prospec
tive patients," it read. "We can put
on your desk a mailing list of over
60,000 Individual consumers' of liquor.
Knch individual on the list is a regu
lar user of liquor. The list of names
is now live and active. We will fur
nish this list in quantities at the
prices listed below."

While The Men Are Arranging
The Sta.ge
we will draw back the curtain and see what's going on.
Really It's Interesting.
Here we are just a little over three years of age in Oil City, and honestly we have out
grown our swaddling clothes, and are doing something that it requires nerve to put over.
Taking the entire building for store purposes, three floors and a basement, and going to
have a dandy nice electric elevator, and a Boys' and Children's Department, where the ladies
can come with the "kiddies" and take their time shopping no crowding, no hurry up just a
great big store for our little friends lots of jolly pleasant salespeople to fcay welcome and
make you feel it. Oh Gee I We are delighted ourselves. But oh my good night I If you
don't help the cause along we're going to do everything within reason to win your good graces
and a share of your patronage. We don't want it all we don't expect it all. Just a little
share, and not even that unless we can give you as good or better than you can get from other
clothier friends. On the dead level we're just like a "kid" with his first "brass toed" boots
this is going to be some store and perhaps the most pleasant part is that it's an Oil City
store, made possible by Oil CUy people, and when the alterations are all made Oil City will be
as proud of it as we are. "We will let you in on more of the secret later."
