Because the Progress has its offices in the Arcade building, and because its name was used on this we are particularly anxious that you make the correction. Our attitude on “Religion and Politics” is summed up in an editorial we published in the Catholig Northwest Progress of September 10, in these words: “We hope there are very few Catholics in the state of Washington who would vote for a man merely because he is.a Catholic, and we hope the num- ber of those Catholics who would defeat a canditlate because he is not a Catholic is still fewer. We be lieve that ‘their number is small. “It is the duty of all our citizens to pick the best man for office and to be guided by his qualifications rather than by his affiliations.” We are heartily in accord with you in condemning the acts of those who are neither Catholics nor Protestants, put who might be aptly called disciples of hate, because they are forever striving to disrupt the amity and good will in which citizens\:should dwell and work together, regardiess of creed. Sincerely yours, THE) CATHOLIC NORTHWEST PROGRESS, By W. P. O'Connell, Managing Editor. The Star is qlad to make the correction. It is glad to note that its pouition on religion and politics is indorsed by the Catholic Narthwest Progress. It hopes that other de- nominations arej likewise of the opinion that the church and vhe state shall be kept separate. The Star agai recommends to the next | ature that a law be passed, making it a prison offense for anyone to circulate any literature designed to attack or to praise a candidate because of his religious affiliations. Religious differences must not be allowed to creep into our body politic. There are thase who would inject it—and they have sought to inject fit in Seattle, both in the city and in the late state primarips. These men belong just.as surely behind bars as any alien enemy. They are endangering the country’s safety and happiness. They are enemies to America, the land of religious freedom. They surely cannot be true re- ligious leaders—for religion is founded upon brotherhood and love. They are’the fanatics and the extremists who let passion and prejudice rule them—and these must not be | allowed a foothald intthe United States. thing on Mr. Elevator It would be interesting to know how many stepa he saves the Face in each day's time.

Prices “When wholesale prices rise, the butcher, the baker and, the candle stick maker are quick to mark up their retall prices to correspond. The purchaser who wants to know why eggs are up another three cents a dozen fs told that the wholesale price has advanced and consequently the retail merchant bas no recourse except to advance his retail price also. ut does the retall price drop when the wholesale price comes down? The United States bureau of labor statistics collects data on the Price changes for various commodities {n both the wholemale and retail markets. Between June 15 and July 15, the department reports that | the decline in the general level of wholesale prices of food was 4 per cent. And how about the retafl price? “The cost of the 22 articles making up the retail food tndex, did not | change in July as compared with June,” reports the bureau. Wholesale prices of food down 4 per cent: retail prices of food— stationary. If wholesale prices had risen 4 per cent in the month, does anybody suppose t retail prices would have remained stationary? Draw y own conclusions. They’re Going Nearly 100,000 Amertcan farmers have purchased 2,000,000 Canadian acres this summer. They are transplanting their food producing energies to Canada, to the Dominion's profit, and to Uncle Sam's loss. They are going largely because of thelr inability to make a profit growing food upon high-cost acres of the United States, Land in Canada ia cheap. The time is coming when it won't be cheap. Acreage will cost as much there as here and then what is the farmer going to do? Where is he golng? The rest of the world, excepting Siberia and the Sahara, already is crowded. Maybe by that time he will have learned the secret of the overcrowded Dane, Hollander and Belgian. He will try to grow more food in a jamaller area. He will cultivate more intensively. He will try dolhg | what Jim Hill advised years ago. He will make two blades grow where | but one has grown. He will harvest more bushels to the acre.
