WILSON WANTS TO
i END GLASS FEELING

j It" Will Serve Purpose.

Sir. Gorapers Heads Party From
Baltimore to Congratulate Ei
V. ecutive on Ke-elcctlon and
V. to Pledge Him Aid.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. President
Wilson told a delegation from the
American Federation of Labor late to
day that all class feeling in America
should be wiped out by the establish
ment of a "justice with a heart In it."
He declared that no one. who fails to
work for this end is qualified to call
himself a true American.
The delegation comprised the mem
bership of the Federation's annual con
vention which has Been meeting in
Baltimore. The delegates came to
Washington to congratulate the Presi
dent on his re-election. Samuel
Gompers, president of the Federation,
acted as their spokesman, declaring
laboring people had come to recognize
that Mr. Wilson stands for justice,
freedom and righteousness. "We have
taken joy in upholding- your hands in
your great work," said Mr. Gompers.
Class Feeling; Is Deplored. '
"I need not say that, coming to me as
you do on such an errand, I am very
deeply gratified and very greatly
cheered." said the President in reply.
"It would be impossible for me offhand
to say just what thoughts are stirred
in me by what Mr. Gompers has said
to me as your spokesman, but perhaps
the simplest thing I can say is, after
nil, the meat of the whole matter. What
I have tried to do is to get rid of any
class division in this country, not only,
but of any class consciousness and
feeling. The worst thing that could
hnnnen to America would be that she
should be divided into groups and
ramps in which there were men and
women who thought they were at odds
with one another, that the spirit of
America was not expressed except in
them, anfl that "nossibtlities of antagon
ism were the only things that we had
to look forward to.
"Achievement is a comparatively
small matter, but the spirit in which
thing3 are done is the essence of the
whole thing. and what I am striving
for and what I hope you are striving
for is to blot out all the lines or ai
vision in America and create a unity
of spirit and of purpose founded upon
this, the consciousness that we are all
men and women of the same sort, and
that if we do not understand each
other we are not true Americans. It
we cannot enter into each other's
thoughts; if we cannot comprehend each
other's interests: if we cannot wrve
" each other's essential welfare, then we
" have not yet qualified as representa
tives of the American spirit.
Sympathetic Justice Advocated.
"Nothing alarms America so much as
rifts, divisions, the drifting apart of
elements among her people, and th
thing we ought to strive for is to close
up every rift, and the only way to do
it, bo far as I can see, is to establish
justice not only, but justice with sym
rathv in it- Justice can be cold and
forbidding, or it can be warm and wel
, come, and the latter is the only kind of
justice not only, but- justice with a
heart in it, justice with a pulse in it,
justice with sympathy in it. Justice
ran be eold and forbidding, or it can be
warm and welcome, and .the latter is
the only kind of justice that Americans
ought to desire. I do not believe I am
deceiving myself when I say that I
think this spirit is growing in America.
T pray God it may continue to grow,
and all I have to say is to exhort every
one whom my voice reaches here or
elsewhere, to come . into this common
movement of humanity."
In addressing Mr. Wilson, Mr.
Gompers said the delegates had decided
without any prearrangement, to come
and congratulate the President. "We
hope that your next four years In the
White House." he continued, "will be
filled with the meat of achievement
for the good of humanity."
After the speeches, all the delegates
ihook hands with the President.
"Look out for " my boys," paid
"Mother" Jones as she greeted Mr. Wilson.

Mr. Hartlgan said the same was true
of the produce mentioned.
GOVERNMENT DENIES CHARGE
Farmers Reports Declared Cbecked
by Field Agents.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. Department
of Agriculture officials today denied
the assertion of Joseph Hartlgan, Sew
York Commissioner of Weights and
Measures, that "Western farmers un
derestimated their crop report to the
Federal Government and thus forced up
the price on wheat, potatoes, onions
and cabbage."
It was Insisted that there Is a prac
tical agreement from all sources of
crop Information that there is a ma
terial shortage of wheat and other
crops. Furthermore, department offi
cials assert the crop estimates are
checked by the Government's own field
agents.

onions and cabbage, is th latest con
tribution to the high cost of food In
vestlgation here. The charge Is made
by Joseph Hartigan. City Commissioner
of Weights and Measures, who has
just returned from a. tour of 29 states
undertaken to determine the reason
for the high cost of living and In
cidentally, to complete arrangements
for a farmers' congress . to be held
here in February.
Mr. Hartigan said the Government
wheat crop estimate this year was
based on statistics furnished by the
farmers, "who knowingly concealed at
least 25 per cent of their wheat crops.
According to Mr. Hartigan, this sur
plus has been held in reserve to be
dumped Into the market, supposedly
short many millions of bushels, at

SPOKANE, Wash., - Nov. 18. (Spe
cial.) Women election clerks and
judges are not only as efficient and
dependable as men, but they are
preferable, sy Spokane politicians of
both sexes.
Criticisms as tn the inefficiency of
woman election officials in general as
Voiced recently by Assistant Corpora
tion Counsel Frank D. Ayres, of Chi
cago, have called forth the ire of local
women politicians especially, while men
of both parties declare the criticisms
do not apnly to feminine election of-
cials in Spokane.
"The eriticism is unjust and narrow,"
raid Mrs. George E. Dyer. "An instance
c-f this kind cannot be taken as gen
rral arraignment of all women clerks
end judges."
"The work, done here by women has
been successful and creditable at all
. times." said Mrs. A. P. Fassett.
Charles Hebberd, Republican county
chairman, and P. C. Smith, chairman of
th Democratic County Central Com
mittee, championed the women officials'

TO REGAIN HEALTH
CLEANSE THE BLOOD
When your blood is impure, weak,
thin and debilitated, you cannot possi
bly enjoy good health. Your system
becomes receptive ei any or an uis
eases, and germs are likely to lod,ge in
some part of the body.
Put your blood in good condition,
and do so at once.
Hood's Sarsaparilla acts directly and
"peculiarly on the blood it purifies, en
riches and revitalizes it and builds up
the whole system.
Hood's Sarsaparilla is not a cure
all It is the best blood medicine on
he market. . It has stood the test of
forty years and is used a-11 over the
world. Get it and begin treatment to
day. It will surely help you. gojcj py

Potatoes to Cost Twice as Much as
tast Year, Celery Holds Firm,
Olives- Quoted lligher and
Mushrooms Are Few.
CCfnttnufl From THrnt Pi '
cent in'-a, month, although the retail
trade is as yet not much affected. It
is said some disease afflicts the Chesa
peake Bay oysters, where the bulk of
the luscious bivalves of commerce are
grown, and oyster dredgers and Gov.
ernment scientists are as yet unaDie
to cope with it. The succulent, but
notedly uncomplaining oyster is said
to be dying by the millions in his bed.
Cranberries Are Steady.
Cranberries hav not aviated much
yet; evidently the war influene has
not affected them, as It has so many
other things. The sour, red berries
may yet be purchased at from 15 to
20 cents per quart, and this Is fortu
nate, since they ar indispensable to
the Thanksgiving feast.
Potatoes of the Irish variety will cost
twice as much this Thanksgiving as
last, retail quotations being now two
cents per pound, as against one eent
a year agov Sweet potatoes are keenly
In demand In the East, there being a
shortage, and a pouni of these tubers
locally is now worth 6 cents, as against
3 cents last Thanksgiving time.
Celery, a characteristic item of the
menu, is about the same in price as
last year, being quoted at 10 cents
per head. Pumpkins, th basis of the
pie. are also about the same price as
last year, about 1 cetjts per pound.
Qlives Quoted Higher.
Queen olives, in bulk, upon whieh
the Thanksgiving diner will sharpen
his appetite, are higher, the quotation
now being 50 cents per quart, as
aganst 40 cents a year ago.
Onions, possibly an item in the force
meat for the turkey or other fowl, will
cost twice as much, as last year, being
priced at 6 cents a pound now, as
against l a year ago.
Mushrooms, a seasonable delicacy,
are about out of the market. The sea
son has been a disappointing one to
mushroom lovers, the long dry period
locally preventing them growing, ana
after the rains started, the jweather
was too cold. So the local product
amounted to nothing.
Mushroom Crop Light.
The "tinned mushroom is about to
suffer extinction, it seems, for the cen
ter of industry is Paris, and th mush
room caves there' ar said to be going
out of business because of lack of ferx
tiliser. The horses hav left Paris for
the battle line in NoHharn France and
the men who grew mushrooms have
joined the colors. New tinned supplies
cannot be had by -vocal dealers and
old stock remaining is now very high.
It is expected the canned mushroom,
will not be on hand again in any
quantity until after the. war is over-
Cheese is up, there being a strong
demand in the- East for the Oregon
product. It is said buyers have been
offering 25 cents per poupd for all
available supplies at the Tillamook fac
tories. Just wna-: is tiie uimjiaio ucou.
nation of this cheese is not known here,
but the effect is to make a very stiff
market. A price of '30 cents per potind
will prevail here, as against 20 cents
last i Thanksgiving.
Bread and Milk; Advene.
Bread is higher than ever in the
recent histor-v of Portland, but still it
is declared to be lower fhan Hour

Portland people has shrunk 1,5 per
