No Rest for the Wicked
But the complacency of sly soakers
who are in the habit of enjoying in se
clusion the comfort that a bottle grants
is shaken by a decision given by the
full benvh of the Massachusetts Su
preme Court. A woman, drunk, but
quietly sleeping on a couch at her home,
was complained against, arrested and
convicted of being drunk. The court
instructed the jury that "if they were
satisfied upon all the evidence that the
defendant, when found in the room, was
drunk by the voluntary use of intoxi
cating liquor, she might be convicted
under the complaint." Appeal was ta
ken to the Superior Court and to the
Supreme Court, but both sustained the
conviction. The offense made punish
able by the Massachusetts statutes, ac
cording to the interpretation by the Su
-preiuf Court, is "drunkenness by the
voluntary use of intoxicating liquor,"
and "the place where ,the offense is
committed, whether public or private, is
not an element to be considered in de
termining whether an accused person Is
guiltv under the law."—The Christian
Herald.

CUHMN From First Pag*.
Whether those monikers are commit
ting a sin or not will bo decided at the
Hershey gathering.
From the West <>omes a qner.v re
canting the ethics of wearing " fash
■ onable neckties,"' which is also to come
before the Hershev conference. The
query is worded as follows:
"Wo, tlie members of the Qui liter
clmrch, petition Annual Meeting of
1915, through District Meeting of
Northwestern Kansas and Northeastern
Colorado, to say whether the ilress de
cision of 1911 forbids the wearing of
the fashionable necktie."
The recommendation of the commit
tee is that the dress decision be con
strued as forbidding the display of
fashionable neckwear. That there is
some unrest over the matter of dress
is evidenced by another query from
Eastern Maryland as follows:
"Since the holding and expressing
of widely different views on the 'dress
question' by members, especially pas
tors. evangelists and elders of the
church, has caused much confusion and
discord among us, and since what we
have on our Annual Meeting minutes
is inadequate for our present needs, we,
the members of the Monooacy church,
sincerely prav the Annual iMeeting of
1915. at llershey, Pa., through the Dis
trict Meeting of Kastern Maryland, to
appoint a committee of five, who shall
prayerfully consider and investigate, in
the light of the Gospel of Christ, the
church's need on this question, and re
port to the Annual Meeting of 1916 a
basis for union and harmony among the
churches of the Brotherhood, so that all
may walk in the same rule. Scripture
references: 1 Cor. 1:10; Philip 1:27;
3:16."
From n Northern Virginia church
comes the following:
"We, the Mill Creek congregation,
petition Annual Meeting, through the
Northern District of Virginia, to ap
point a competent committee ot' three,
whose duty it shall he to make a thor
ough investigation of the conditions
that lead to the loss of so many of the
brethren's children to the Church of
the Brethren, and to recommend such
remedial measures as mny seem wise,
and report to Annual Conference."
Rules in Favor of Unions
Among the reports prepared by com
mittees for presentation at next week's
conference, under the head of unfin
ished business, is one in answer to a
query of the Reading yhurch as to
whether leniency can be shown members
who .join labor unions; whether it is
allowable for contractors to sign the
union wage scale and whether brethren
are justified in belonging to relict' asso
ciations. The committee's decision
follows:
"After a most careful investigation
of all the issues involved in the above
queries, your committee submits the
following report:
"1. Members may belong to labor
unions, relief associations and bene
ficiary societies when by doing so they
violate no gospel principle.
"2. Members desiring to have the
benefits of labor organizations, relief
associations and beneficiary societies
shall, before affiliating with such organ
izations or societies, request the local
church to investigate said organizations
and societies, to-See whether any gospel
principle may possibly be by
affiliating with such organizations and
societies.
"3. All former decisions, conflict
ing with the above, are hereby re
pealed."
Must Not Be Reproachful
One of the regulations to bo fol
lowed at the meeting, to prevent any
of the thousands of delegates from be
coming unruly, is as follows;
'' 111 case a brother or brethren shall
speak reproachfully against the Annual
Meeting, or her proceedings, at the time
and place of Annual Meeting, said
brethren shall be held as offenders
against the General Brotherhood, and
they shall be tried at once by a com
mittee, appointed by the standing com
mittee, and approved by the General
Council; and said committee shall deal
with them according to their offense,
and their decision shall be respected by
the General Council, and by the re
spective churches. The word 're
proachfully' shall not be so construed
as to prevent any brother from express
ing his opinion with Christian court
esy."
All interesting feature of the con
ference this year is that it is to be held
within one hundred miles of the land
ing place of the founders of the Church
!of the Brethren in America, in the
eastern district of this Stafe. This one
district has thirty-four local churches,

WANT RETAILERS 10 UNITE
FOR MUTUAL PROTECTION
John T. Klrby, Field Manager of Na
tional Dry Goods Association, Also
Haps Profit Sharing Coupons at the
Chamber of Commerce Luncheon
John T. KirKv, field manager of the
National Dry Goods Association, New
York, spoke to a hundred members of
the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce
at a noon luncheon in the llarrisburg
Club to-day. He is finishing a trip
which has taken hiru to the principal
cities of the Kast and Middle West in
the interest of good business.' A large
part of his audience was composed of
merchants engaged in retail trade.
He advocated the organization of re
tailers the country over for protection
against unfair methods of iiterchnndis
ing and adverse legislation.
"The merchant is asking," he said,
"to be permitted to conduct his husi
ncss without outside interference, to be
relieved of the worries that have ham
pered him hi the past through fear of
what Congress or State legislatures
might HIO. ''
Me condemned the Rtevvens Price
Maintenance bill which was defeated at
the recent session of Congress.
"The bill sought to allow manu
facturers to fix retail prices, which is
unfair to the merchant who can fix his
price to meet the market demand and
unfair to the consumer because he
could not enjoy the competition of
trade," he saiiL
The so called trading stamp andi
profit sharing coupon, which the Har
risburg Chamber of Commerce sought
to have regulated to oblivion by a bill
introduced in the legislature and which
died in Senate committee after parsing
the House, was severely criticised by
Mr. Kirbv. He said:
"About the worst practice that of
late years has crept into certain lines
ot business in the packing in merchan
dise by the manufacturer of premium
certificates. Such schemes are contrary
to all business ethics ami compel* the
retailer to sell merchandise plus some
so-called profit sharing premium, otc.,
aginst his wishes. These i»ortificates are
supposed to represent and he redeem
able for articles which article there
fore, the merchant indirectly sells,
although he receives no profit on this
sale, la fact, he is directly competing
with himself, for thp nrticfe represent
ed bv the certificate may be carried
in his own stock and if he had not sold
it for the benefit of the premium con
cerns he might have made the same
sale to his own advantage. The profit
accruing to those engaged in the pre
mium or gilt enterprises is enormous
and is based on th,> supposition that a
large percentage of their certificates
will not be redeemed. In fact, it was
recently stnted by a representative of
one of these concerns that if more than
j.SS per cent, of their certificates were
redceine I thev would go out of busi
ness. The business of the land can
not survive it' such unfair practices
and laws as outlined above are permit
ted to exist.
' H is only by co-operation of the
strongest and broadest kind that busi
ness will he enabled to successfullv re
sist and overcome these evils that are
growing stronger every day until at
the present time they threaten the \ery
loundation of the country.'*
FINANCE
WAR SPECIALTIES SHOW
DECLINESJT OUTSET
Trading Dull at the Opening of the
Market—Coppers Make Moderate
Gains and Republic Steel Issues are
Very Strong
Xew York. May 25.—■ Wall Street
trading in stocks at to-day's oj ening
was dull, in striking contrast to the
previous day's initial dealings. Such
interest as was manifested centered al
most wholly around the war specialties,
the more important of which recorded
declines ranging from fractions to more
than a point.
This was partly offset by moderate
advances in other shares of the same
group and in coppers. Republic steel,
common and preferred were prominent
for their strength, gaining 2'/ t and 3'/i
points respectively. IT. g. stool showed
some irregularity and standard stocks
were almost neglected.
Prices receded gradually in all parts
of the list during the very dull first
hour period. The average level of quo
tations was under yesterday's lowest
figures, investment shares as well as
specialties reflecting mild pressure.
The short interest was a factor, selling
trom that ,quartcr being again based
upon rumors concerning the tenor of
Germany's forthcoming reply- to Wash
ington's note. As a matter of fact the
market was loft largely to the
of the trading element, public interest
being utterly lacking. Some improve
ment was noted at noon. Bonds were
steady.
