Opposition by older folks n'ered the store parly this morn- 'may feel that they have reached an' lnK 9ho notified the police, age when they do not care to assume' searching him they found a hy- responsibilities may be explained, and; syringe on him. Later ho )ln fact cause no surprise. But the! onrossot ft the police station that he mnn, the man who intends toj wtt ft "end.

They are not.

ob Jects of pride. There Is apparent lack of public spirit amour, tho erty owners In the business distrlc i if tho fewness of good looking built lings in lo be considered. The pit i (should nnd must set the. example, 'making a decent looking structure a city capltol. The people of Alto he.

called on to vote, from next Tuesday, on the question issuing bonds to pny for a city ha building. Mnro approval of the sug gcstfon to build a city hall will no help. Those who think Alton ought go ahead, begin doing what othe cities have done already to mak themselves nttractlvo. must get ou and vote and help In tercet others ii Quibbling over some trlflln details of city finances will never get. a city hall, and it Is the pur i pose of any opposition that may arts ito spend time discussing vain ques jtlons that have nothing to do with th more praiseworthy spirit 'making our city- attractive, beglnnlnj at our front do'or.

Chance for Grand Jury Work. The Telegraph believes that theri is one good way of getting at are profiteering on necessaries life. Every states attorney In State of Illinois should be put with sufficient funds at thel command to enable them to get evl deuce and Institute prosecution against all who are profiteering In thi of food, fuel and raiment. I jinakes not so much difference to us i automobile fuel Is high, If great tour 'Ing cars are being boosted in price, I cost of silks and satjua and fim perfumes are elevated to the skies to the people it does make a grea dlffe'rence whore thoro Is oollusloi among distributors to force up prices on necessaries of life. It Is probable that a blow could struck that, would jackdampsoy Olt High Cost O' Living If there was con corted action on the part of states at torneys all over the ntato.

Tho pro sentlng of evidence to the grand jur loa, the finding of true bills agalns those profiteers and the placing of th cases before Jurors of the victim have a mighty bad effect fa as the continued malignancy of hlg prices Is concerned. Wo would glv common people a chance to they feel ought to be done some laws could be fmin In Illinois that could he used as force to bring down prices. It ma be the province of the Governor to in itlate such proceedings. It may Within the hands of somo other publl officer, but tt would be a great rolte for the public to learn that thei jwould bu criminal prosecution, tha the big trusts and tho little trust and middle line trusts could not con tinue to boost prices as high as thoj iploase, and at tholr whim. It Is not altogether the big felfow who are doing tho boosting of prices 'It Is tho little fellows, too.

Everybody Is tuklng a hand in It. Somo of it i (justifiable, some Is partly Justifiable 'and some of It Is absolutely wlthon any excuse. The spirit of the day 1 'to charge big prices for service nnc goods. There must bo some limit It. There must bo some concerted ac ition and grand juries and public oin jclals must come to the relief of a Ion public.

It is tlmo to end the exploitation of the public. We are disastrous consequences resulting if something Is not done. The middle class people who huv iperhaps no unions to back them up 'and the poorer closs of people are In a tight hole. Thoy are being crushed Promise of great increases In the prle Of shoes should be nipped right now Unnecessary increases in the prices clothing and food uud fuel ought to be taken in hand at onto by the proper and those who are forcing up itho prices without warrant, or are con( trlbutiiig their part to the increases made by others should bo given to understand that this course can not be Dr. and Mrs.
